Chapter 306: The Death of Jiangnan
On the battlefield of the central front, with Xiangyang, Nanyang, and Gangneung as the center, there was a fierce fight, and in the Jiangnan area of the eastern front, there was also a fierce fight.
In the middle line battlefield, Zhao Pu achieved a good battle of clearing the field, coupled with the harassment of the transportation line, the Jin army had difficulty in supplying, and it was difficult to conquer it for a long time, it was very aggrieved and it was very difficult to fight. And in Jiangnan, the fight is much smoother. The Jiangnan area also wants to implement the strong wall and clear the wilderness, but the Jiangnan area, with dense population and prosperous towns, is not comparable to ordinary areas at all.
If you want to clear the wilderness, it is simply impossible.
In the Jiangnan area, except for a few dangerous areas, most of them are plains, which is not conducive to defense.
Once the Yangtze River is crossed, there is almost no danger to defend and it will be easily plundered.
In short, Jiangnan is a place of pit fathers, and the so-called guarding the river must guard Huai. Only by occupying the Huai River basin and having the vast area of the Huai River as a buffer, can the Jiangnan region be stable and worry-free, if it is just relying on a Yangtze River, it is almost a dream to want to block the Jin army.
Historically, the battle of the water and the battle of quarrying seemed to be victorious, but in fact, the luck component accounted for the majority. When Fu Jian moved south, the rear was extremely unstable; When Wan Yan Liang went south, the rear was also unstable. As a result, crossing the river was only a small defeat, and it had to be defeated and left. These two battles cannot be imitated and cannot be staged again!
At this time, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is extremely unfavorable, the Huai River area has been lost, and only Yangzhou is alone in the north of the Yangtze River, like a lonely outcast.
At this time, the defenders of the Song Dynasty, with or without the luck of Xie An and Yu Yunwen, the battle was very hard!
The battle of Jiangnan began in Yangzhou.
In order to pull out the nails north of the Yangtze River, Zong Han took the lead in launching the Battle of Yangzhou, with an army of 150,000 and surrounded Yangzhou. An attempt was made to stage another siege of Taiyuan, and the battle had only been going on for ten days before it became extremely tragic. The Jin army did not stop, wave after wave, continuous attack.
Under the city of Yangzhou, the corpses of the dead Jin Jun were piled up one by one, like worthless straws.
And Yangzhou City has also been attacked several times, and the city wall has been broken. Only the temporary cast wall barrier can be regarded as blocking the pace of the Jin army.
In just ten days of fighting, nearly 20,000 Jin soldiers fell under the city of Yangzhou.
And Zong Han just smiled and attacked again. It doesn't seem to care about casualties at all.
This is also Jonghan's fighting style, hating the enemy. Be harder on yourself. When it comes to strategy. Zong Han is inferior to Zong Wang; When it comes to its calculations, it is not as deep as Zonggan; When it comes to marching and fighting, it is not as good as Lou Mur; But Zong Han has an advantage that others don't have, that is, his personality - cold and hard!
The ordinary generals of the Jin Army are fierce and cruel. Cute and cherishing gold soldiers, always thinking about the smallest loss and bringing the greatest benefit. But Zong Han is different, he has madness in his bones. There is a kind of madness that would rather be broken than broken. In order to attack a Taiyuan, tens of thousands of casualties were killed and wounded in a row, and many Jin army generals were distressed and planned to evacuate, but he resolutely refused to allow it and kept fighting!
He is not a brilliant strategist, nor is he a qualified marshal, but he has madness, a kind of stubbornness, a kind of courage not to fear everything, dare to fight and kill, it can be said that he is ignorant, it can also be said that he is reckless. But it was this kind of character that made him appreciated by Wanyan Aguta.
In the era of Wanyan Aguta, among the many generals, Zong Han ranked first.
………………
And this time, the main ones who guarded Jiangnan were Zhao Ding and Yue Fei.
It seems that there is some taste of defending the enemy outside the country, Zhao Ding personally guards Yangzhou, and Yue Fei is in Jiankang.
At this time, the Yangzhou city wall, after more than half a year of modification, the city wall is extremely strong, and some defense facilities are also built a lot. Yangzhou City seems to be impregnable and unbreakable, but the people in Jiangnan are weak, and they have been peaceful for a long time, and they have not experienced war for a long time. In comfort, there is no blood at all.
A group of girls who chant all day long and play with the moon, pickling girls and girls, how can they go to the battlefield to fight; If you are used to living comfortably and comfortably, how can you fight.
Lack of blood, even if the city is strong, it can't last long!
On the eleventh day, the city of Yangzhou was broken!
Zhao Ding felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to commit suicide, but was rescued by his servants, then knocked unconscious, and fled with Zhao Ding.
Yangzhou is too prosperous and too rich, and it suddenly dazzles the eyes of the Jin army who entered Yangzhou. So a looting began, which gave Zhao Ding a chance to escape, and under the escort of the guards, he left by boat.
Suddenly, Yangzhou was a hell......
Soon after, the Jin army began the battle of crossing the river.
At this time, the sailors of the Song army were powerful, intercepted the Jin army many times, and beat back the Jin army who tried to force the crossing many times. finally saved the situation a little, and gave the Song army time to rein in the remnants and gather troops, which was a temporary relief. It's just a sigh of relief, and the battle situation has deteriorated again.
At this time, Zong Han adopted the strategy of attacking the east and the west, and the large army attracted the attention of the Song army's sailors and sent a small force to cross the river. The result was successful, and about 5,000 Jin cavalry crossed the Yangtze River.
With the 5,000 Jin Army cavalry, the successful crossing of the river, the entire Yangtze River defense line completely collapsed!
The cavalry of the 5,000 Jin Army galloped in the Jiangnan area, as if entering a no-man's land. The Jin army marched at a fast pace, attacked with lightning speed, and quickly destroyed the interception of the Song army. After the defeat, the Song army could only flee in panic, retreated to the city, and waited tremblingly with the danger of the city.
The Jin army did not attack the city, but went to capture some ferries so that it could better meet the opposite Jin army to cross the river.
After a desperate fight, the ferry fell.
At this time, they began to meet the Jin army on the other side of the Yangtze River to cross the river, and the main force of the Jin army began to cross the Yangtze River in an organized manner. At this time, the sailor began to desperately block the attack, and the water battle continued, but there was no power to return to the sky. With the loss of the water port, the sailors seemed to float without roots, unable to get supplies, and became more and more embarrassed.
After several days of fierce fighting, the sailor was defeated and left.
If you have the intention to kill the thief, you can't return to the sky!
The main force of the Jin army has crossed the Yangtze River and killed the generation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Those who flee when they see a thief are brave, those who flee from the wind are brave, and those who flee by mishearing are brave. The entire Song army collapsed, and the entire Jiangnan suddenly fell into the hands of the Jin army. It's like a mouse, and it entered the rice tank, just like the Hou Jing Rebellion back then, and the entire Jiangnan was looted.
Except for a few large cities, which were protected from disasters by strong soldiers, most areas were reduced to hell on earth.
Heaven and earth are crying, the sun and the moon are mourning, woohoo!
Watching the Jin army massacre and rob, Yue Fei was very helpless.
At this time, Yue Fei only had less than 30,000 soldiers under his command, and it was not easy to defend Jiankang, and if he wanted to go out of the city to fight against the Jin army, he would definitely lose, so he could only watch the Jin army rob and kill the people of the Song Dynasty.
………………
Panic!
Three months later, the Jin army began to retreat north of the Yangtze River.
It seems that enough killing, it seems that enough robbery!
Zong Han retreated, because in the Jiangnan region, he had grabbed enough wealth, and the soldiers' eyes were spent, and they no longer had the heart to fight. In addition, the Jiangnan region was humid, and the soldiers of the Jin Army in the north were extremely uncomfortable, and there were many sick people in the army, and the non-combat attrition was extremely serious.
In addition, Zong Han also tried to break through Jiankang or some other big cities, but after attacking, he found that he was exceptionally strong, and several attacks failed. If it continues to fight, it will be another battle of Taiyuan, and tens of thousands of people will have to die, which is not worth it!
These three factors led the Jin army to retreat.
Whining! Finally gone!
After the catastrophe, the surviving people looked at their homes and wanted to cry without tears, and their hearts ached!
PS: If you have words, it will be long, and if you have no words, it will be short. The novel focuses on being detailed and appropriate, and grasping the key points everywhere is equivalent to having no focus. In this Jin army's southern invasion, the focus was on describing the battle of Xiangyang, while the battle of Jiangnan, the battle of the northwest, and the battle of Liaodong were only a general summary. This is a historical novel, spending a lot of pen and ink to write about pig's feet, and it is too long to get rid of pig's feet, which is somewhat inappropriate!
Next, the Jin army will retreat, and will support the puppet regime of puppet Qi to fight against the Song Dynasty; And the pig's feet have also entered the cultivation and recuperation, entered the farming reform, worked hard to change the law, developed the military system, and the plot of internal and external security, and the four famous generals of Zhongxing, and various Wenchen will also appear one by one. The battle of Song and Jin gradually moved from strategic defense to strategic stalemate.
Pig's feet are just spring, and several women with pig's feet will appear one by one.
The exciting plot is still to come. (To be continued......)
