Chapter 275: Process, Smell Again (Text)

After several days of correction, along with the military report submitted, a new round of dispatch orders from the Frontier Military Department rushed to Jiangning to help.

When we moved out of Xiaojin Mountain, we looked back and saw a brightly colored hot air balloon being lowered high into the sky, which also meant that the scope of observation was greatly expanded, and it was not so easy for Jiangbei soldiers and horses to sneak over and sneak attack.

Although the momentum of this multi-channel concurrent march of the national dynasty is like a bamboo, it has also exposed such problems as the inability or even disconnection of logistics baggage, the number of various ministries is numerous and complicated, and the dispatch and management are chaotic.

The counterattack of the Jiangbei Army encountered in Jingkou was just a warning.

Because, the troops of the southeast road near Runzhou were concentrated to besiege the last few places in the south of the Yangtze River, and one of the fortified cities that were still stubbornly resisting - Jiangning, yes, it was Jiangning.

Where my other memories and encounters are, I squatted with my head in my arms, like a frightening dream in the garden, a short time of comfort outside of the troubled times, met Han Liangchen, who was boldly hospitable and recruited talents, and accepted the beginning and starting place of the first batch of followers.

It's just that this time I'm coming back with a full army, although it's only a supporting role, but this kind of "I'm Hu Hansan back again" style of complacency and sense of accomplishment is difficult to describe in words.

Not to mention, it was Han Liangchen who was born and raised here. After leaving Jiang Ning, he seemed to have lost a part of his emotions and soul here, and became silent, as if he had changed into another person

It wasn't until he heard the news of his return to Jiangning that he was slightly moved.

When leaving,

As the town guard, Cheng Xuan also gave us a batch of livestock as animal power, all of which he collected from the local area, so as to avoid a certain dilemma for us, because the auxiliary brigade and the corresponding mule and horse boats have not yet kept up in time, and can only use manpower to resist the reality.

Although it is customary for us to exercise the expedient measure of "local transfer" along the way, it is undoubtedly a matter of half the effort to ask us to go to the countryside to collect them ourselves.

I also got a new mount, and the cavalry team galloping to the aid of Jingkou was one of the few mobile forces in the southeast line, and a few people, including Ning Duwei under my command, were also old acquaintances, so their gift as a former comrade was an iron-gray Wushan horse.

Because of the relative lack of cavalry strength, Daliang once tried to raise horses in many places, but the heat and rain in the south caused by the plague caused by the water and soil, has always been the enemy of horses and other large military animals, and finally only in Fujian, Wuzhong and a few areas with large alpine meadows, relatively dry and cool, were successful.

This Wushan horse is one of them, and it is one of the self-reserved places for the source of Sima Pi in the southeast.

I thought about it, and as usual, I named it "Grizzly Panda", which is Grizzly Panda V.

Of course, there are also doubts and curiosity about this name, and my explanation to them is that the panda is the incarnation of the ancient mythical beast, known as the iron-eating beast, which is unique to the southwest, and the grizzly panda is one of the different species

From Jingkou to Jiangning, but a short distance of more than 100 miles, but let me see all the poison and ruin brought by the war, out of the bridge pavilion post west of Jingkou, it is very obvious that the dilapidated withering, the so-called ten rooms and nine empty, a hundred miles do not hear the desolation of the rooster crow.

At least the last time I came here, although there was no shortage of homeless people on the road and starvation in the wilderness, the villages and towns along the river were at least densely populated and quite lively.

Against the background of the green mountains on the riverside, among the fields with a large water network, the figures of rare labor are sunburned on the ridges of the pulpping fields, and those young people holding bows, arrows, knives and sticks are also in some nervous and vigilant arrows, and the hungry and staggering crowds on the road.

But now, it seems, that there is nothing left, not even the unkempt beggars and the dying hungry people sitting on the roadside. All that remained were sporadic patrols and sentinels. The only thing that has not changed is to go east to the river, and the rumbling and uproaring waves are still there.

According to the official army, this was the last remnant of the resistance of the Jiangnan Domain to gather in the big city of Jiangning, and the result of various strong walls in the clear field, but when my team passed through some villages, some traces of swords and fires obviously occurred in a few days.

This is the troubled times, no matter what the victory or defeat, regardless of the rise and fall of success or failure, as ordinary people at the bottom of society, the price and inevitable sorrow that must be paid. The simple truth of the so-called "rise and fall are suffering" is only the long-term and short-term pain before order and peace come again.

By the way, these days of rest and replenishment, I have another unexpected gain, this is when I was counting those heads, I found that in the battle of the south embankment of the Jingkou River, my troops unintentionally killed an enemy general, Cao Hui, the commander of the Yi'an Army known as Zhensanguan,

Although this "town and three passes" town is not a well-known key in the world, it is only three small water passes in Yangzhou, and the military number of Jiangnan Domain Town is a bit floating and complicated, most of the establishment is vain and overexpensive, but it has never been full, at most it can only be similar to the role of the "Dragon of Wu County" Yan Baihu-style small warlord in the Three Kingdoms game

But it's the big Colosseum of Jianghuai, and it's a fait accompli for twenty or thirty years

In a certain way, this is an era of "the prince and Hou Ning have a kind of soldiers, and the horses are strong", and it is also the Liang of the Southern Dynasty with a relatively stable political situation, so the most hated "Gang is often lost, respect and inferiority are chaotic".

Therefore, this person may be limited in the pattern of local politics, but in terms of actual combat experience as a member of the large and small martial arts groups, he is quite skilled and sophisticated, so he was specially appointed as the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the East Road to attack Jiangnan.

I didn't expect to cross the river this time, and it was inexplicably in my hands. If it weren't for the fact that at the time of the collection of the corpse, a captive suddenly came out to identify the identity of the corpse of a certain bureau and requested that the remains be disposed of in a relatively decent manner according to the usual practice, and it is estimated that they would have been thrown into a certain landfill pit indiscriminately.

This is also the first weighty achievement and achievement after I led the army independently, and I have to show off a little in the army's diary and the private letters I plan to send. However, the appearance of a small military town like him in Jiangnan also means another fact.

According to the news sent across the river, now that the Jiangbei Domain is cold, it has temporarily put aside Chen Jianyu's old grudge under the intervention of the Northern Dynasty, and basically completed a certain kind of alliance to form an alliance to resist the pressing of the Liang, and the deputy governor of Huaiyang in Jiangbei is the bridgehead that bears the brunt of the attack and the second largest force in Huainan Province.

The Runzhou Army, which had been fighting against the feudal towns of Jiangnan East Province for many years and had the upper hand, often crossed the river to fight, and all kinds of defensive positions, this time it was just that they were familiar with geography and hydrology, plus the local leading party that was unwilling to obey the Great Liang, and they just did it.

And the besieged Jiangning Dacheng is another battlefield for them in the land south of the Yangtze River.

In the cross-river raid on the west road, although the frontier military line division relied on the strength of the troops to reorganize the front line to block the enemy's attack, at least more than 20,000 northern soldiers, together with the baggage, broke through the alert on the Linjiang side and entered the big city of Jiangning.

In today's Jiangning city, there are eight prefectures such as Xuan, Sui, Li, Gao, Wu, Chang, Jiang, and Tu, and the only remaining resistance force is guarded by six roads. Coupled with the support of the Jiangbei soldiers, it can be said that it is more and more stubborn for a while.

This is also one of the reasons why I, a man, was hurriedly summoned to Jiangning to help after I had just assisted the southeast to recruit the division and recovered and stabilized the Jingkou defense line.

In the evening, we began to camp on the site of the Bushu army along the river, when suddenly there was a report from a sentry post that there seemed to be something unusual on the river.

There has been a certain change in the color of the river, like a dead fish in the belly, floating objects, washed down the blue and white tones of the river, dead fish? No, it's not a dead fish

In fact, there are large numbers of dead fish in the Yangtze River, which we may not be able to see at this distance, and can only be observed by the naked eye, but only larger objects.

I finally saw something in the lens that was gradually stretched to the limit of magnification, that is, a large number of corpses, mixed with streams of reddish-brown or charred black floating objects, floating and drifting downstream.

Then something more obvious appeared in the river, the apparently broken and charred fragments of the ship's hull, like mottled and faded stains, drifting down from the upstream.

The next day, after a rapid march of 30 miles, I stopped and replenished at the Grain Station in Ganlu Town, which borders Jiangning, and at the same time obtained the latest round of news, just the day before yesterday, a naval battle broke out on the river in the northwest of Jiangning.

This time, the Houguan fleet and the Mingzhou fleet, which were rampant on the Yangtze River all the year round and belonged to the Tokaido Naval Division, had just suffered a heavy defeat under the attack of the Jiangbei Domain's naval forces with suicide fireships.

Those tall and sturdy sand boats and offshore sailing ships with a large radius of slow turning, in the face of the small, light and flexible Jiangbei naval army, first won another big victory, and then because they pursued the remnants of the Jiangbei naval army, they did not feel too close to the north bank.

As a result, the fire attack ships that were hidden in the grass and rivers upstream turned down to avoid and collided and burned countless times, and because they were disrupted, they were defeated in a panic and could not retreat, and countless people ran aground and rushed to the shore, which can be said to be a great loss of vitality, and they were no longer able to fight again in a short time.

Although this loss was only a small part of the Southern Dynasty's huge naval division, it also took time and sea distance to relocate the naval divisions from the many anchorages in the Tokaido to the nearest ones.

This also means that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who have already crossed the river and occupied Baisha Port on the north bank and Xiacheng of Jiangyang will face a situation where the back road is cut off, the reinforcements are not crowded, and there are many auspicious and few auspicious troops.

At the same time, when we see the towering Zhongshan Mountain, it also means that we have arrived near Jiangning City.

F: Anyway, my book review area is really pitiful, do I want to see the readers' speculation and expectations for please, do I have to get the post to see my own stolen post^
