On the Yangtze River, the two armies of Jingzhou and Jiangdong fought each other. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It can really be said that thousands of sails are racing, and hundreds of boats are competing for the current.

And in the far north, above the Yellow River, there are also dense sails!

The Luoyang army is preparing to cross the Yellow River and march to Yongliang!

……

Jiangdong lost several fighting ships, and the coach Zhou Yu was distressed.

If it weren't for the slow transmission of information, Liu Mang would definitely say that Zhou Yu was hypocritical when he heard the news.

Zhou Yu at least has a fighting ship to lose, but Liu Mang's side doesn't even have a serious battleship!

Yu Dayou and Wang Jun trained the navy, and they were simple because of their ugliness.

Most of the so-called warships and warships of the Luoyang Navy are converted civilian ships. Whether it is sturdy, handling, or speed, not to mention that compared with the big ships of Jingzhou and the giant ships, or compared with the small warships of Jiangdong, they are all the difference between heaven and earth!

However, although the "warship" of the Luoyang Army is simple, it is an invincible existence on the Yellow River!

Because the enemy that the Luoyang Army faced, Yang Guang's Xiliang Army, didn't even have a rudimentary warship!

In the land of China, it has always been the southerners who drove the boats and the northerners who rode horses.

There are few rivers in the north, and the Yongliang area is a dry and waterless place. Xiliang people grew up on horseback since childhood, and they can gallop with a whip without learning. But when it comes to driving a boat, many people in the northwest don't even know what a ship is.

The Xiliang Army is rampant in the world with iron horses. But on the water, it can only be described as "incompetent".

The Western Liang Army also has ships. But it was limited to carrying people across the river, and there was no combat effectiveness.

Therefore, although the Luoyang Navy is weak, it is indeed an invincible existence on the Yellow River!

……

Hedong.

Along the Yellow River, there are only a handful of places suitable for the army to cross the river, such as Puban and Fenyin.

Luoyang Navy lacks large ferries. The river is not suitable for large ships.

Xu Shiji's Hedong Army gathered more than 30,000 troops.

If you only rely on the Puban and Fenyin ferries, it will take a lot of time to cross the river in small boats and boats.

Moreover, the Xiliang Li Dao Department on the other side would never sit back and wait for the Luoyang army to cross the river.

Although there is no naval army, Li Dao's troops can deploy defenses in advance on the other side of the ferry to block the Luoyang army.

A group of ferries can only carry a few hundred people. Without waiting for the next group of Luoyang troops to cross to the opposite bank, the previous group of soldiers had already been annihilated by the enemy.

The method of crossing the river in this way is tantamount to setting up a nest and bait.

With 30,000 Hedong troops, the enemy may not be well fed.

In order to ensure the rapid crossing of the Yellow River and open up a foothold in Zuo Fengyi as soon as possible, Xu Shiji planned to cross the river at the same time with an army of 30,000!

On the east bank of the Yellow River, along the bank of the Yellow River that is more than 100 miles long from Puban to Fenyin, more than 100 simple ferries have been renovated!

These ferries cannot dock large ferries or carry large equipment.

However, at each ferry port, there are more than dozens, and as few as more than ten ferries.

The ferries are large and can carry dozens of people at a time. The small ones, such as simple sheepskin rafts, can carry several people at a time.

The various departments in the east of the river are assembled at the designated ferry port in the unit of the tribe.

Just wait for an order, as many as thousands of ferries and rafts will cross the Yellow River together!

This method of crossing the river can be called a crowd tactic.

Although the forces are dispersed, they can improve the efficiency of river crossing.

Zuo Fengyi's Li Dao Division, even if it had taken precautions, it would not be possible to deploy defenses on the west bank of the Yellow River.

In the eastern part of the Luoyang Military River, you can swarm and cross the Yellow River together!

……

All units of the Hedong Army have long been assembled at the corresponding ferry crossings and are on standby.

All units and teams are fully prepared. But there are two things that even the commanders of the various parts are not clear.

First, the time to cross the river.

Second, after crossing the river, the place of assembly.

Of course, Xu Shiji, commander of the Hedong Army, had been prepared for these two things.

In order to prevent leakage of secrets, the assembly place after crossing the river has not yet been notified to the ministries.

However, at each ferry, there were guards sent by Xu Shiji to accompany them. Each of them carries Xu Shiji's sealed tips.

Only when the order to cross the river is issued, these tips will be handed over to the commanders of the various tribes.

After crossing the Yellow River, each part of the tribe will go to a different assembly point according to the orders on the bag.

As for when the crossing of the river will begin, it is only a beacon signal.

Next to more than 100 ferries, beacon towers are arranged.

Wait for the commander Xu Shiji's military order to be issued, and the wolf smoke will pass the military order, and all departments will cross the river at the same time!

Along the Yellow River, all parts of the sentry positions dare not be sloppy.

A pair of round eyes, all staring in the direction of the beacon in front of them.

Soldiers, all looking forward to the rising wolf smoke!

Xu Shiji, the commander of the Hedong Army, was also anxious.

However, this Yongliang operation was not a separate action of the Hedong Army, but required the coordination and cooperation of Nanyang, Hongnong and other departments.

Xu Shiji was also anxiously waiting for news from the friendly army.

……

In order to keep abreast of the situation on the front line, Liu Mang moved his station to Huxian, which was closer to Tongguan.

Deng Qiang and Guo Kan's Hongnong Army moved forward to Ruxiang between Tongguan and Huxian. (阌, phonetic)

This time he marched into Yongliang and defeated the Xiliang army without seeking a battle, but he must pass this battle to open up a foothold in Yongliang.

Xu Shiji's eastern part of the river undertook the important task of opening up a foothold. However, in the eastern part of the river, it is necessary to get the cooperation of Hongnong and Nanyang.

Hedong Xu Shiji's department had to wait for the Hongnong Deng Qiang department to launch an attack before it could carry out its operation.

And the Deng Qiang Department had to wait for the Nanyang Changyu Spring Department to start a battle before they could launch an attack on Tongguan.

In this way, the attention of the eastern defense of the Western Liang Army can be attracted more to the front line of Shangluo and Tongguan, so as to reduce the pressure on Xu Shiji's department in Hedong.

Lake County.

Liu Mang and his staff were stationed here.

Every letter, every hurried sound of horses' hooves, will make everyone look forward to it.

Everyone was waiting for the message from Chang Yuchun from the direction of Wuguan and Shangluo......

……

"Quick!"

In the southeast of Jingzhao Yin, between Shangluo and Wuguan, there is a city called Shang County, which is named because it is located in Shang Mountain.

Often meet the spring department, from Wuguan into Jing Zhaoyin, temporarily stationed here.

Knowing the arduousness of the task, Chang Yuchun did not dare to stay for too long.

After a short rest in Shang County, he led his troops westward and marched to Shangluo.

From Shangxian to Shangluo, it may not be the most difficult road in the world to walk, but it must be the most tiring road!

Other mountain roads are mostly alternating between an uphill and a downhill, but this section of the road is almost only uphill, not downhill!

Shangluo is at the top of this slope that is dozens of miles long.

The location of Shangluo is unique, and it is another natural barrier in Wuguan and Chang'an.

Considering the topography of the Shangyu area, Chang Yuchun was all equipped with foot soldiers and no cavalry. Moreover, the infantry soldiers are also mainly the elite of the Luoyang army who are familiar with mountain operations.

Rao is like this, on this kind of mountain road, the soldiers are also complaining.

Don't say that ordinary soldiers, Pei Yuanshao, who was born as a bandit, are a little unbearable.

Although Pei Yuanshao's military position is not high, he can be regarded as an old qualified general in the Luoyang Army.

The former Pei Yuanshao was full of banditry.

But after following Cheng Biting Jin for a while, "Xiao Shaozi" has made great progress. Speaking and doing things, he gradually looks like a general.

Approaching Chang Yuchun's side, Pei Yuanshao said cautiously: "Chang Shuai, the brothers are a little unable to hold on, are you going to take a break?" ”

Chang Yuchun glanced at Pei Yuanshao, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

"Okay. Let the brothers rest, I also have something to say to the brothers. (To be continued.) )
