Between Yingshang City, at the southern end of Henan Province, and Shouchun City, Anhui Province, across the Huai River, on the winding road, the army with no end in sight is advancing southward at a rapid pace. As far as the eye can see, a banner flutters like the sea, the sword light is like snow, and the spear is like a cloud.

The front is preceded by a black flying eagle battle flag fluttering in the wind and the sound of hunting. On the side of the battle flag, a battle flag embroidered with a winged wolf fluttering on the side, under this battle flag, it was one of the most elite soldiers and horses of Da Chen, one of the eight guards of Da Chen, the Jinwu Guard Celestial Wolf Light Cavalry Battalion. A division of a hundred battles with the lowest rank in the whole battalion is also held by non-commissioned officers, and a huge formed cavalry battalion with a scale of 5,000 people.

The 5,000 Flying Wolf Light Cavalry Battalion rolled forward, followed by three armies with the Phoenix Battle Flag, the Xuanyao Battle Banner, and the Jinpeng Battle Banner. These three armies with the banner of the Divine Bird are very extraordinary, because these three light infantry battalions of as many as 15,000 people are all wearing armor that is different from the black armor of the other Dachen Army, and under the fluttering battle flags, the soldiers of the three armies are all wearing fiery red armor, like a huge sunset moving rapidly.

After the Heavenly Wolf Battalion, the Phoenix Battalion, the Xuanniao Battalion, and the Jinpeng Battalion, four armies that are usually rarely seen, rushed by. It was followed by several armies, which were basically the same as the previous four armies, all of which were large battalions of 5,000 people, including the Qinglong Battalion, the Crazy Dragon Battalion, the Flying Dragon Battalion, the Yellow Dragon Battalion, the White Dragon Battalion, the Black Dragon Battalion, the Nine-headed Bird Battalion, the Immortal Bird Battalion, the Bifang Battalion, the Three-Legged Bird Battalion, the White Tiger Battalion, the Xuanwu Battalion, the Vermilion Bird Battalion, and the Black Iron Imperial Guard Battalion.

A large battalion of 18,000 men rolled south, and soon arrived at the Huaishui River.

At this time, the originally wide Huainan has already become a thoroughfare, and on the blue waves, a series of seven huge pontoon bridges have already connected the two banks. The soldiers of the Flying Wolf Light Cavalry Battalion, which had arrived first, had already crossed the Huai River along the seven pontoon bridges.

Standing on the high slopes on the north and south banks of Huai, Chen Kefu, the Great Chen Emperor in military uniform, watched his army move south quickly with mixed feelings. Looking at the sparkling Huai River and the neat army, at this moment, his heart was extremely complicated.

Eighteen battalions and 90,000 troops, this is already the last main army in Chen Kefu's hands. In order to put together this team. Chen Kefu not only transferred 10,000 Praetorian Guards from Taiyuan to the south, but also completely emptied the defenders of the capital Luoyang this time. It is the two provinces of Henan and Shandong, and at this time all the troops have been transferred to it.

The two provinces of Henan and Shandong are completely empty, and there are only 10,000 elites, 10,000 township soldiers, and 30,000 militia groups in Luoyang, Kyoto, under the leadership of Mao Yi. Huaibei and Huainan were already extremely empty, and this transfer of troops directly led to the vast territory north of the Yangtze River and south of the Yellow River. It has become an undefended state. Even in order to get enough soldiers and horses, he even dispatched all the female troops of Zhai Jiaojiao, Li Xiuning and Zhang Zhuchen in the past few years.

He had completely brought the last army that Da Chen could use, and with this patchwork army, there was only one way left in front of him. Either capture Jiankang, capture Jiangdong, and then push the defense line to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Otherwise, they may be defeated and return to Jiangbei, and even the territory south of the Huai River may be completely lost. Even Shandong may not be insured.

Hu Hai can only be blamed for everything, it was he who single-handedly broke all of Da Chen's previous strategic plans.

Hu Hai is just a governor of Jiangxi, and he only holds 10,000 township soldiers and militias in his hands. Chen Kefu made him give up Jiangxi according to the strategic layout. Retreat to Hefei to strengthen the defense of Huainan. In order to avoid the Southern Chen army suddenly attacking the Yangtze River and the Northern Expedition at this time, everything was planned. First north and then south. First decide the victory or defeat with the Turks, solve the worries, and then sweep the south in one fell swoop and unify the Central Plains. …,

But no one would have thought that Hu Hai would make such a messy move at this time. What made Chen Kefu even more unexpected was that it seemed that everyone was all involved at once. Previously, Lu Shishen's attack on Jiangling was already a unauthorized use of troops and horses, and he acted privately. Although he took Gangneung and defeated Dong Chun. It also occupies five counties. But it is equivalent to taking a big risk with the defense line in the southwest of Da Chen.

In the end, Lu Shishen succeeded, and the Shen family was in civil strife and was unable to counterattack. Dong Chun originally came to feint. Their real target was Shuzhong, so they suffered a temporary loss, but they didn't have time to take revenge on Chen Jun right away.

Previously, when Chen Kefu received Lu Shishen's information in Taiyuan, he was already shocked into a cold sweat. When Da Chen and the Turks had already taken out all the strength of their bodies and threw all their belongings on the blocking table, Lu Shishen actually dared to take the initiative to use troops in the southwest, and he faced the two families at once. No one knows better than Chen Kefu what the serious consequences will be if Lu Shishen's army is defeated.

There are only 30,000 soldiers and horses left in the entire southwest defense line of Dachen, and if this army is destroyed, then the entire southwest direction of Dachen will be completely emptied. If an enemy army breaks through at this time, it can easily kill Luoyang City. Even if Luoyang is not hit, Henan, Shandong, Huainan and other places at this time are basically undefended. If the enemy army really goes deeper, the losses and shocks will shock everyone.

Chen Kefu finally waited for the information that the danger had been resolved in Xiangyang, and it was immediately reported that Hu Hai suddenly came to transfer troops without authorization. And with the continuous delivery of information, something that made Chen Kefu's heart beat in horror appeared, Hu Hai was not only playing with heartbeat, but also Feng Wan father and daughter in Lingnan, Chen Shan and Chen Feng in Huainan, Hu Hai and Lu Shishen in Jingxiang were all involved.

Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Vietnam, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu. All of a sudden, the Southern Nine Provinces were all involved, and this information made Chen Kefu have the heart to kill.

The last time Hu Hai ventured in Xiangyang, he almost lost the gate southwest of Luoyang.

But this time it was even more serious, and the entire southern Nine Elements Province was directly involved, and it was actually when the imperial court put all its energy and strength on the critical health in the north, they actually wanted to recover Jiangdong and capture Jiankang. The army that directly attacked Jiangdong has exceeded 50,000, and the defenders of Xiangyang and Jiangdu, who are indirectly involved, have also exceeded 50,000 horses. All of a sudden, 100,000 horses were involved, and almost the entire military strength of the southern part of Dachen was involved.

Like a terrible storm, Hu Hai flapped his wings in Jiujiang, and in the blink of an eye, a huge hurricane had already blown in the south of the Yangtze River.

Facing Wu Jun, who had just suffered a big defeat, civil strife, and a new owner, Hu Hai and the others felt that they had great confidence. But Chen Kefu was completely shocked. Fighting on multiple fronts is a taboo for soldiers in ancient times. What's more, he is still facing a super powerhouse who unifies the entire northern and western grasslands, and it is simply a mistake to provoke Wu State at this time.

Hu Hai They are gambling, they think they can bet, and they dare to bet.

But Chen Kefu didn't dare to bet, he has come to this point, he has half of the Central Plains, and only he knows the hardships. Again, he didn't know if he would be able to have such an opportunity. But now, an earth-shattering gamble has been opened, and others are gambling with his country.

How can Chen Kefu not be surprised, how can he not be in a hurry? Jiangnan was originally the territory of the Wu army, not to mention that Jiangdong was the hometown of the Wu army. Playing in Koto, this is an away game. What's more, Jiangdong's Chen army only has 50,000, and these 50,000 are not elites, but a temporary army and horses cobbled together by the Huainan Township Soldiers and Militia and the Lingnan Baiyue native soldiers.

And although no one would believe Shen Luoyan's previous claim of 500,000 troops, it is true that he has 350,000 soldiers and horses. Although there must be at least half of the water in it, there are at least 100,000 elite soldiers and horses. Across the Yangtze River, with 50,000 pieces of miscellaneous cards to fight Jiangdong, which has more than 100,000 elites. In Chen Kefu's view, this courage is commendable, but it obviously lacks a bit of intelligence. …,

At this time, fighting this battle will not have much effect if it is won for a while and a half, but may provoke the vigilance and counterattack of other forces. Until the Turks are resolved, any initiative to provoke other Central Plains forces is foolish.

And if this battle is defeated, this is basically the end of the nine southern provinces, and even Henan and Shandong on the south bank of the Yellow River are difficult to protect, and it is possible that even Luoyang, Kyoto, will not be able to defend one of them. If that happens, how can the imperial court go all out to fight the war in the north?

After angrily pulling his sword and smashing a few cases, Chen Kefu cursed Hu Hai for their lawlessness, but on the other hand, he could only quickly mobilize more than ninety percent of all the soldiers and horses in Taiyuan, Luoyang, Henan, and Shandong, and quickly formed a powerful army of 90,000 people, and rushed south to Jiangdong for reinforcements.

At this time, Jiangdong is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. But Chen Kefu had to plan for the worst, it was useless to capture Jiangdong, and he couldn't change the current situation for a while. But if you sit back and watch Hu Hai defeat, the final result may be completely disastrous.

This time, he had to defeat Shen Luoyan and inflict heavy losses on her Wu army, so that she could no longer continue to threaten Da Chen's southern territory, and Da Chen could completely let go of his hands and fight hard in the upcoming Turkic war.

As if seeing Chen Kefu's worries, Li Xiuning, who was riding on a war horse in a red uniform, smiled lightly: "What a majestic army, but my Xuanniao Battalion is also completely trained according to the methods of the original Shimin and their Xuanjia Army, and it has been trained for three years, and this time it is really not much worse than the Praetorian Guard." With such a mighty army and His Majesty's personal command, this time, we will definitely be able to set foot in Jiangdong at one time! ”
