Twenty days later, Wang Huaqiang stood at the head of the new pavilion, looking coldly into the distance, the head of Jiankang City was faintly visible, and opposite the military camp of more than ten miles of the company's camp, it was Chen Jun's army that also stretched for more than ten miles, until it reached the camp under Jiankang City, and a large banner embroidered with the word "Fan" floated high above the military camp in front of the opposite side.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the generals of the Sui Army of the Three Routes, with their own purposes, chose to cross the Yangtze River in three directions around Jiankang City.

Wang Shiji took the lead in betraying Wang Huaqiang and others and led away the defenders of the new pavilion and seized the new pavilion, but he ran headlong into the oncoming Fan Meng's troops, and the two armies fell into a stalemate, and the battle line was stable here.

Less than two hours after Wang Shiji's smuggling, Han Baohu also took advantage of the quarrying Chen Army's water and land troops to leave the quarry, led 3,000 Xiaoguo to smuggle the quarry, and conquered the city of Dangtu County, and by the way, he also sent his eldest son Han Shige to save Wang Huaqiang and others.

In the past ten days, Han Baohu followed Wang Huaqiang's strategy to drive the army out of the city, and the city defense was handed over to the Nanchen army.

On the one hand, the Sui army continued to meet the troops that continued to cross the river from the north of the river, and on the other hand, they did not commit any offense against the residents of the Southern Dynasty.

With the good examples of the Lu brothers and Fan Xun who took the initiative to help stand guard in Guzi City, the Jiangnan fathers and elders in the nearby area came to see Han Baohu in the past few days, and there were thousands of Nanchen people who came to join the army every day.

Zhou Luohu, the general of Nan Chen stationed in Jiujiang, after hearing the news of the landing of the Sui army near Jiankang, also wanted to raise troops to the north and rush to help Jiankang, but was firmly dragged by the army led by Yang Jun, the king of Qin, and could only look at Jiang and sigh.

For the sake of prudence, Han Baohu also sent Du Yan, the head of the march, to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to capture Liyang in the south, and firmly blocked the passage of King Chen Junqin in the southwest.

Three days ago, after receiving the support of an army of 30,000 led by the general Yu Wenshu, Han Baohu set out from outside the city of Guyu and went to Xintinglei.

Fan Meng saw that Han Baohu's momentum was not small, so he took the initiative to retreat, and camped more than 30 miles from Xinting to Jiankang City, preparing to resist for a long time.

The Sui army He Ruobi's headquarters was not idle on that Chinese New Year's Eve, and as soon as Wang Shiji started here, He Ruobi knew about Wang Shiji's actions through guò wolf smoke, and then began to cast smoke on the banks of the entire river north for hundreds of miles, and tens of thousands of troops crossed the river under the cover of smoke.

After going ashore, He Ruobi strictly enforced military discipline, ordered his subordinates not to take a stitch from the people of Jiangnan, and even killed a sergeant who spent money to buy wine from roadside vendors in public.

Since then, He Ruobi's department has no offense with Minqiu along the way, and the defenders of Nanchen all over the country are also either fleeing from the wind, or surrendering on their own initiative, and in less than five days, they captured the important town in the east of Jiankang, Jingkou, where the county of South Xuzhou is located, captured Huang Ke, the assassin of Nanxuzhou in the south of Chen Dynasty, and cut off the route of the Chen army that brought reinforcements from southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

At this point, the Sui army's Han Baohu and He Ruobi's two iron fists have advanced from east to west, and attacked from north to south, forming a situation of encirclement of Jiankang City.

The navy of the Chen Dynasty has also been transferred to the land, incorporated into the sequence of troops of the city defense, Ren Zhong and Fan Meng combined 60,000 troops, held the lower line of Bai in the south of the city, and confronted Han Baohu; Xiao Maha and Lu Guangda's troops combined 70,000 troops, and prepared for a decisive battle with He Ruobi's troops on the front line of the Purple Mountain in the northeast of the city.

Chen Shubao inexplicably had a hangover on New Year's Day, and then choked on smoke, and didn't wake up until the evening.

That night, Chen Shubao and the civil and military ministers urgently discussed, Ren Zhong's plan to lead the army to counterattack Jiangbei directly scared Chen Shubao's courage into cells, he now wishes that there are more troops around him, the better, how willing to put 30,000 elites in Jiangbei, so no matter how hard Ren Zhong begged, he just didn't agree, but chose to stick to help.

The Lu brothers and Fan Xun, who surrendered to the Sui army, took the initiative to write a letter to their father to persuade him to surrender, and Lu Guangda personally went to the Tingwei Mansion to accept the guilt after receiving the letter.

Since the second day of the new year, Jiankang City declared martial law, in order to make up for the lack of the number of troops, Chen Shubao also gritted his teeth, opened the treasury, and recruited market scoundrels and peddlers and pawns to join the army, even monks and Taoists.

Since Xiao Liang in the Southern Dynasty, especially believe in Buddhism, Jiankang alone is known as having 480 temples, which makes the Buddhas and Taoists join the army.

Seeing the bare tens of thousands of bald heads wearing helmets, Chen Shubao's sense of security suddenly improved a lot. It's just that Lu Guangda, Ren Zhong and others looked at these people who were too heavy to wear leather armor on their bodies, and they were about to gasp for breath after walking a few steps, and the Buddhas who were raised to be white and fat could only shake their heads and sigh.

In any case, after such a general mobilization of the whole people, the number of the army in Nanchen has increased significantly, from the house slaves of Shi Qingwen and others to the monks of Qixia Temple, there are 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers in ten days.

Thanks to the allocation of grain for Yuan Xian and others, the food and salary of the 200,000 army was worry-free for a while, and the hundreds of thousands of troops were also camped for hundreds of miles, and for a time they actually blocked the fierce offensive of the two Sui armies, and the war temporarily formed a stalemate.

Since crossing the river, Wang Shiji did not dare to meet Wang Huaqiang again, because his blitzkrieg of sneak attack on Jiankang was broken, and he couldn't raise his head in front of Han Baohu, so he simply took the initiative to divide his troops and occupy an area with Han Baohu's department, thinking that it was a horn.

Wang Huaqiang sent Wang Huawei's coffin to his hometown on New Year's Day, no matter what, he wanted to keep a bloodline for the Wang family, and he couldn't let Wang Huawei have an accident anymore, and in the past ten days, he has deliberately kept a certain distance from Wang Xuan.

Since crossing the river that night, the mission of Wang Xuan's smuggling detachment has also come to an end, because Wang Shiji's department, who nominally led them, was besieged in Xintingli at that time, so this unit is now assigned to Han Baohu's department.

Because more than 600 people brought by Wang Xuan and Wang Huaqiang from Guanzhong were almost killed or wounded, and among the people who came to meet here in Jiangnan, Liu Changshan was killed in battle, Ma Laosan became the commander of the light pole, and the remaining veterans led by Uncle Fu Quanshu were really embarrassed, so Wang Xuan simply ordered this army to be disbanded on the spot, and he and Wang Cheng went to Wang Shiji.

The remaining more than 30 people of the Guanzhong soldiers followed Wang Huaqiang, and after Ma Laosan was heavily rewarded with a sum of money, Han Baohu sent him to help defend his aunt.

Wang Huaqiang was temporarily promoted by Han Baohu to join the army, and he has never left the left and right, discussing military and political matters with him every day, and after more than ten days of contact, a generation of famous generals Han Baohu was also deeply surprised by Wang Huaqiang's military talent, and often discussed the army with him late at night until dawn.

At this moment, Wang Huaqiang was standing beside Han Baohu, overlooking Chen Jun's camp from the new pavilion.

Han Baohu glanced at Wang Huaqiang, pointed at the other party's continuous camp with the horsewhip in his hand, and asked, "Huaqiang, according to your view, what are the flaws in the formation of the Nanchen army?" ”

Wang Huaqiang pondered for a moment and said: "Fan Meng's department, the front army is full of elite soldiers, eager to try, practicing in the camp every day, morale is strong, and it seems that there is a desire to go out of the city to fight. And that Ren Zhong's department, it seems that most of them are new soldiers, the armor is not in order, although the defense of the camp is tight, with deep ditches and high bases, but it seems that there is no intention of taking the initiative to attack, it seems that they want to defend all the time. ”

Han Baohu smiled and nodded: "Yes, recently, the people of Nanchen have been surrendering, that is, in the past two days when we moved to the camp, there have been thousands of people who have defected from the opposite barracks, and most of them are from Ren Zhong's military camp.

Fan Meng's department was the original elite garrison that defended the capital, most of them were veterans and elite soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was very strong.

As for the Ren Zhong department, I heard that most of them are ruffians who have recently been recruited in health, Ren Zhong's own army of 30,000 has been transferred to the north of the city, and the army given to him is a new soldier, there are more than 1,000 monks in our camp who have fled in the past two days, and Nan Chen has not even let go of the monks, it seems that there is really no one available. ”
