Chapter 244: Confrontation (I)

Yizhou's advance not only caught Da Zhou off guard, but even the leading commanders Chang Yu and Li Mu themselves were confused. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In their eyes, Da Zhou is a behemoth that must not be provoked. Lu Xun was going to attack the mainland, which made them a little nervous in their hearts, and their nerves in all aspects were tense to the extreme, and they would never dare to take it lightly.

After advancing into the Penghu Islands and officially entering the Dazhou Sea Area, he collided head-on with the Fujian Naval Division. I thought that there would be a fierce battle, but I didn't know that the combat effectiveness of the naval armies on both sides was not at the same level at all, and the Yizhou army was almost destroyed and easily defeated.

This made many generals in Yizhou suddenly cry and laugh, this... This is also too vegetable, compared to those who are wandering around the Yizhou Strait, it is not as good as those who are wandering around the Yizhou Strait, and it is simply worthy of the title of "official army".

After this battle, everyone was completely relieved, because they were already invincible, even if the war did not go well in the future, it would be a big deal to return to the sea, with these half-hung sailors of Da Zhou, it was basically not much different from sending people to their heads.

And the subsequent landing made them not even care about this aspect. It turned out that not only the naval division, but also the army of the Great Zhou was not much better. It's too simple, it hasn't even taken a week, they have already captured the land of the three provinces of Fujian, and the territory they have conquered is not much different from the territory of Yizhou.

Li Mu took Xinghua Mansion as the base camp, established a connecting sea channel with Yizhou, and then divided the troops into two routes, successively captured Quanzhou and Fuzhou, and waited for the Great Zhou army to counterattack in order to become a horn, and waited for two days in a row, without any movement. The generals looked at each other speechlessly, and said in their hearts that Da Zhou was also good at talking.

After waiting boredly for two days, Li Mu decided to go further, and he sent his idea to Yanping Mansion. And this tentative attack was finally met with decent resistance.

Jianning, Shaowu, Tingzhou, Zhangzhou, and the four prefectures commanded 20,000 allied troops to enter Yanping Mansion, resisting the city and defending, not giving an inch. The total number of defenders is close to 30,000, so it is difficult for Li Mu to forcibly attack the city. This attack came with a purpose, not a simple siege, Lu Xun's order was to make him stalemate, if the soldiers' battle losses were too high, it would not be easy to explain after he returned.

This is the first battle after the unification of Yizhou, which is of great significance, and Li Mu is fortunate to be the commander of this battle, so he is naturally extremely concerned. Seeing that the defenders were reluctant to fight, he simply retreated twenty miles to the village, relying on not leaving, he didn't believe that the Great Zhou court could endure it.

The court didn't bear it, and it didn't intend to endure it at all. The reason for the delay is that the territory is too large. It takes many days for information and instructions to come and go, and the emperor has not given orders, and no one dares to act rashly and recklessly.

When the imperial decree was issued, Ji Weiming, the king of Pingnan, gathered 80,000 troops in Chaozhou Mansion and advanced eastward. Ji Hanliang, the general of Zhenguo, sent 50,000 troops from Jianchang Mansion to the south, and finally joined forces in Yanping Mansion, and the strength of the defenders suddenly rose to more than 160,000.

Li Mu left 10,000 troops in the land of the three prefectures, but now he only has more than 70,000 people in his hands, and the huge gap in strength has made the generals of Yizhou finally start to get serious.

The big war is about to break out.

-----------------------

The prison of the Criminal Department.

Jiang Yun's treatment was not bad, and after being sent here, he was arranged to a single cell.

He was sitting on the floor at the moment, with a wide wooden table in front of him, with six or seven side dishes and even a pot of fine wine. Sitting in prison to his part, there is no one left in Da Zhou.

"Come, try this osmanthus chicken, a specialty of the capital, you can't eat it elsewhere." Ji Luo sat across the table, grabbed the pale pink whole chicken, ripped off a chicken leg and handed it to Jiang Yun. "Are you still used to living here?"

"It's good." Jiang Yun grabbed the chicken leg and took a bite, then picked up a small cup of water and wine. "Whew, it tastes really good."

"Your heart is really big enough, I haven't seen you worry."

"What is there to worry about." Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you would be killed in ten days?" It's been more than half a month, don't worry, it won't die, and you won't be able to die in the future. It seems that your plea is somewhat useful, and the old man of the emperor is really merciful. ”

Ji Luo shook his head and sighed. "Don't think too simple about Grandpa Huang, he thinks things in a different direction than most people, and we don't have any feelings at all. I went to see him in the imperial study earlier, and it's hard to say whether it was useful or not. ”

"Didn't that kill me yet? It definitely worked. ”

"It's not that I don't kill you, it's that I don't care about killing you." Ji Luo cautiously glanced outside the cell, and said softly: "The south is in chaos, I heard that Yizhou sent troops to attack Fujian, and hundreds of thousands of troops from the imperial court went to resist the enemy, and the war... It seems to be a little unsmooth. ”

"Oh." Jiang Yun replied lightly.

Yizhou will send troops to find trouble, Jiang Yun is not surprised at all, this is Lu Xun's style of acting, he is open and closed in the face of trouble, he is upright, and he does not play tricks. There is nothing wrong with sending troops to fight a dozen, and the key must be grasped well, because if you are not careful, the situation will easily expand.

"Who is the commander of the other party? Any news? After a long time, Jiang Yun asked casually.

Ji Luo thought for a moment. "The commander of the army is called Chang Yu, the deputy marshal is called Li Mu, and the rest is unknown.

Lu Xun didn't come? Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile in his heart. Look at my memory, my daughter-in-law should be four or five months pregnant, how can I easily run to the battlefield. It's just Li Mu... It should be fine, right?

Yizhou sent troops to attack Fujian, and the first wave of defense must have come from the local guards. These soldiers, who are accustomed to slacking off on weekdays, have nothing to fear, and their defeat is inevitable. However, the imperial court would not sit idly by and watch the defeat, and the support of the surrounding feudal armies was not much different from the Weisho army, but much higher in number than the latter. It should be the hundreds of thousands of troops that Ji Luo said.

This battle is crucial, and the Yizhou army must hold on, and even crush the opponent. Only in this way will the imperial court truly realize the difference in the combat strength of the two armies, and will be forced to use its own elite. In this way, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies should make a magnificent debut.

As long as the imperial court signaled Xu Jiye to send troops, could the old emperor still be embarrassed to embarrass him Jiang Yun? The misfortune that had been done before naturally passed like this.

Jiang Yun thought very thoroughly, the key to this matter was Li Mu's ability, if he was not capable and was repelled by the feudal army, then there was nothing to say, Jiang Yun could only sit and wait for Luo Tian to arrange someone to rob the prison, and then hide as far as he could.

------------------------

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the war in Fujian finally officially began.

Li Mu's anti-guest focus finally had an effect, after the reinforcements from all sides arrived in Yanping Mansion one after another, the gap in strength was reflected over time, and with sufficient confidence, the defenders finally went out of the city to form a formation, ready to take the initiative to attack and start a field battle with the Yizhou army.

Pingnan Wang Ji Weiming has the highest status, naturally became the commander of the garrison, he has never experienced the battle array, most of what he learned comes from the book of soldiers, he acts in a decent manner, mainly conservative, does not seek merit, but seeks no fault. His idea is very simple, if you don't suffer a loss, you will take advantage, even if one is exchanged for another, the enemy army will have to retreat sooner or later.

In principle, there is nothing wrong with his thoughts, but unfortunately, he met Li Mu, who didn't know what An's point was.

At the beginning, with only 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses, he dared to go out of the city and harden the 200,000 troops in the east of the water, and there were many whims, and the means were unguardable. If you want to say how clever he is, it may not be, Li Mu's advantage is that he is easy to take advantage of the loopholes of human nature.

Let's just say that he went out of the city to raid, in the eyes of normal people, no one would be stupid enough to do such an inadequate thing, so he would not prepare for this at all. Who knew that Li Mu did it, and he did it without hesitation, and the unprepared Yang Yutian naturally suffered a big loss.

This is called the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, and this is called the indiscriminate punch to kill the master.

Ji Weiming's arrangement, the method of fighting is simply like an old man who is about to die, lifeless, dull and terrifying, which is exactly what Li Mu wants.

Unsurprisingly, the defenders of the Great Zhou Dynasty were once again tragic. (To be continued.) )
