Chapter 346: Chaos
Jiangning Xing, in the Stone City, on the foundation site where the old palace and the Jiedu mansion are located, a large number of buildings with high corridors and cornices have been rebuilt, and with the arrival of a large number of palace people and eunuchs from outside the mountains, this originally somewhat deserted old site has become lively and lively again.
Among the newly built and renovated gorgeous palaces, coral clams, mother-of-pearl tortoiseshell, dragon sandalwood agarwood, and any other object that is an ordinary decoration are enough to make anyone rich overnight, and some are even unique in the world.
However, these rare treasures and treasures in the world, under a certain ingenious arrangement, are not seen by ordinary wealthy families, all kinds of jewels, luxury and impetuousness. Instead, under the carved beams and painted halls, a certain harmony of the avenue is revealed, and the natural fit and harmony are revealed.
It's just that no one can appreciate these beautiful things.
As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, the first person in the base camp, the head of the next generation of the shogunate, and the overseer of the country, who was over forty years old, also stood in front of the big map after the hard work of the government, and fell into a certain kind of excitement.
Although the seasonal announcement has been knocked again, he has not been sleepy after drinking tea and soup, that is, watching the battle situation on the map can give him some kind of catharsis and rest.
The expedition to the south to the north, which has not succeeded since ancient times, is like a stubborn curse, which has been firmly shrouded in the body of any Southern regime for thousands of years.
And the one who is closest to success and goes the farthest is only two, there are Liu Jinu in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and there is Emperor Zhengding who seized the Guannei and almost owned the Central Plains. Then there were also people under the big beam who tried to rule hard, and there were several Northern Expeditions, but unfortunately they all died unfortunately, not in the key external use of inhuman people and tragic loss of the north, or in the end fell short and internal disputes and control, so as to miss the last opportunity to gain a firm foothold.
Therefore, this time, the national dynasty took the country as the military commander-in-chief, and wanted to see the overall situation, in order to mobilize the resources and national strength of the Great Liang at any cost, and seize the unprecedented trend and opportunity of the times.
At the same time, it is also the immortal work of swallowing the world with this breath to push the next shogunate lord to the pinnacle of life and career.
This is also a shock and blow to those dissident voices and hidden restless people in the country, and perhaps, the symbol left in the Shoushan Palace will no longer have the need to survive.
However, he immediately returned to the map in a beautiful vision, and the reality and possibility were all based on the premise of the ultimate success of the Northern Expedition.
On the map of the universe at home and abroad, which represents the general trend of the world, the vast area south of the Huai River has been completely smeared by the cyan color that symbolizes the power of the Southern Dynasty, leaving a little variegated corner of the Shu land.
And the hinterland of the Central Plains, through which the Yellow River flows, is also full of arrows and circles representing the size of each army, which are impregnated and occupied. As the ultimate strategic target, Tugi Province, where Nakdu is located, has been pinned down and outflanked by the Sanlu offensive from the west, south, and east.
Only the northern states of Hebei, such as Weizhou, Hedong Zezhou, and Jiangzhou, which are adjacent to the Yellow River and separated by a water, are still sending troops and materials to the only remaining Henan defense line to the north.
Maybe the final battle to determine the final belonging of the world is so imminent, thinking of this, although he didn't drink, he had a feeling of smoke, merit is really the best spice and flavor of power.
It's just that as the great cause is completed as it gets closer, the noise inside the beam is also overflowing again, and all kinds of background doors from the court and the central government, all kinds of big and small movements of reaching out to the army and hugging the gong are continuous, even if he is a prisoner, he can't hold it down.
The Western Route Army and Horse also sent a request after entering the customs along the way, saying that they still had spare strength and were willing to take the initiative to help their neighbors in the strategic direction, not to mention that there was a faint battle between the Central Route Army and the East Route Army today.
In contrast, the front-line generals were a little disagreeable, and some rumors such as delaying the fighter plane were trivial matters, but for the sake of prudence, he also asked a few words and sent his cronies to hear about it.
In the dreary night, the silence of the darkness was broken by the sound of small bells and flickering lanterns, and a harrier letter from the other side of the river was urgently delivered, and it was sent to the Cheng'an Hall where the prison was located by the hanging basket up and down the gate of the palace overnight.
For a while, trembling and retreating a hundred steps away, the palace people and the inner servants who were waiting for the summons could vaguely hear the roar and sound from the inner hall.
"Feng Taisu, it's really a pity to die...... Zheng Yangnian is even more inredeemable."
As the close ministers and cardinals who had been summoned overnight arrived one after another, an urgent report was slammed in front of them.
"Ignoring the ...... entrusted with heavy responsibilities"
Speaking of this, the prison state roared almost unabashedly.
"These idiots, do you want to ruin the great cause of the Northern Expedition?"
"Slaughtering the city?"
A close minister who read the urgent report couldn't help but shout.
The others were also a little surprised, the other party didn't know that this order was extremely simple, but what kind of obstacle and chain reaction variables would it bring to the general trend of the battle between the north and the south. In particular, both the Department of Functions and the Department of General Administration are working hard to operate the internal sources of the Northern Army, and to carry out means of division and disintegration and recruitment.
Wouldn't it be a self-defeating blow to the face of such an incident that suddenly appeared?
In the previous war between the north and the south, since the Great Liang fought against the orthodoxy of the national dynasty that recovered the Central Plains and hung the people for the crime, it naturally also had the intention and plan to win the hearts of the people and reduce the resistance, and all kinds of propaganda of true and false also came into being, but this massacre incident directly destroyed the propaganda slogan of "the whole world and the rest of the world, and one with each other" declared by the Southern Dynasties.
The gap and division between inside and outside the ridge, which were originally vigorously promoted, were deliberately smoothed out, and were once again emphasized......
On the shallows of the Yellow River, a tentative landing force was ambushed with some preparations.
"Drive these Yankees down ......"
Fang La, the former tea lord, roared angrily, turned around and killed the order of those northern soldiers, and slashed at the neck of a northern soldier with a knife, and the blood suddenly soared.
But more northern soldiers jumped boats and waded into the water, stubbornly trudging to the shore, but the few nearby river beaches where the water flow gently signaled people to cross.
"Let them taste great."
Fang La's eyes narrowed, and he also roared
"Yes......"
A young flag bearer holds a hand-embroidered flag aloft aloft. There was a loud roar, and the northern soldiers who were trekking in the shallows also let out a burst of screams and howls, and fell down one after another in the splash of blood and water.
"It's just ...... time"
Fang La put the horizontal knife stuck in the shoulder blade of the enemy soldier, and copied the short knife in the other hand, his body had been stained with blood in several places, but it was not critical, so he could still hold on.
To tell the truth, since Fang La was transferred to the guerrilla army, he has not been with the soldiers for a long time, but he has already deeply felt that as the top military order of the national dynasty and a certain kind of wealth, from the fifth battalion of the main army to the sixth team of the auxiliary army, he has no regard for most of the captured armor, and only some of the mountain patterns, bright lights, and bird hammers that the northern army will wear, can be slightly eye-catching.
So the rest of these goods used to bargain for friendly troops, but cheaper of their miscellaneous people, so that they can be on par with the stragglers, so that the five small troops who work together are all dressed in a jagged armor, and have a basic protection against the enemy.
As Fang La's subordinate, he also allocated a hundred three-eyed guns with extra blue eyes, and Fang La quickly fell in love with this entry-level firearm that can be far and near, and is suitable for hand-to-hand combat and radiation, and then used his old brother to make a dare team.
At the critical moment, it came in handy, and after the three pipes were all released, the enemies that Fang La was surging in front of him were also much more sparse. Then these veterans also rushed down the riverbank, and with these heavy round pipes, the tired northern soldiers, smashed the blood in all directions, and retreated step by step into the river beach.
The northern soldiers on the boat finally gave up the principle, propped up the flat boat with a little wood, and retreated to the main road in the river. After the slashing was over, they still had time to recharge and put another round of guns on the enemy ships that were far away.
With the crackling sound, the wind blew over, and two of the nearest riverboats seemed to be frightened, like frightened birds, desperately rowing and crashing into one place, and suddenly shook down a number of northern soldiers who were squatting on the side of the boat, dancing and falling into the surging river, and in the blink of an eye were washed away and could not call for help.
This episode made Fang La forget about his injury, and laughed,
"We have lost more than fifty brothers......"
"It is estimated that only a dozen or so can be cured and recuperate......"
"The northern captives killed more than 100 ......"
"Only a dozen live ones were caught...... They were all stuck in the mudflats and came back with ropes."
"Uncle ......"
The flagbearer slowly leaned over with the flagpole and sat on the riverbank, he was Fang La's nephew Fang Bao.
"Why bother selling your dead power so much......
"Don't sell your dead power so ......"
Fang La glanced at him and snorted.
"Now it's not hard to start out...... I'm afraid that after that day, I won't even have a chance to sell my dead power."
"Then when you expect to come to this army so easily, you can only sweat and do some heavy work......
"Zheng Laosi, they are waiting for this opportunity......
"In the future, whether to stay and eat fragrant and spicy food, or go back to eat dry and drink thin, depends on our appearance in front of the army......"
"The headquarters is a first-class high-class military order, and we must have a good life,"
"Just grasp the opportunity and follow behind to get a little bit of remnant, and you will be infinitely useful......"
At the same time, the Northern Army tried to make tentative landings in many places.
Therefore, Deng Yuanjue, who was on the bank of another section of the river, was not so relaxed, and among the five teams of men and horses who came to the aid of Yunzhou, although the Muzhou regiment under his command had the most men and horses, with more than 1,400 people, and it was organized into seven regiments, but the combat effectiveness was a little uneven.
And the enemy he faced was even more tricky, it was actually the Yellow River Sailor on the opposite side, these short-clothed and lightly armored sailors were the best at jumping gangs to land on the shore and fighting in short-distance raids, which caught him off guard and suffered major losses.
Personally led the Hongxiang regiment composed of the children of relatives from western Zhejiang to the top, and it was able to block the enemy soldiers from gaining a firm foothold, but there were still two regiments, and the head of the regiment was defeated
As for the 800 Xin'an volunteers from western Zhejiang, who were under the jurisdiction of Zheng Biao plus 200 native soldiers, it was even more unbearable, and almost a few of them were scattered, and the northern soldiers were directly allowed to seize the landing place.
It is said that many of them come directly from, the old Ning **** Jiedu envoy, the Shezhou soldiers under Shouchang Town, there is no shortage of experienced officials, so in the face of the northern soldiers who sneaked ashore, the combat effectiveness was not inferior and quite tenacious.
Therefore, although it was an encounter battle, relying on the upper hand of waiting for work, after the northern soldiers in front of him were weak and slackened, they successfully drove them down the river, and also captured a lot of baggage that had been brought ashore, and by the way, Zheng Biao and his subordinates were gathered.
As for the last one, Wang Yin of Lanxi, he became the first leader to hang up since the start of the war, because he had just received a batch of silver silk wine for supplies, and he couldn't wait to return to the garrison for a banquet and drink, and stayed up all night.
As a result, the fishing village where the Lanxi Township soldiers of his department were stationed was touched by the northern soldiers who sneaked ashore, and dozens of people under Wang Yin were invincible and were cut and killed, and the rest were panicked and scattered.
From then on, the northern soldiers landed unhindered and drove in.
