Chapter 1171: War
In this world, there has never been a real peace, maybe the war has just stopped here, but there is gunsmoke everywhere.
Xiao Yuwen decisively gave up Xiakou, and regardless of whether the soldiers under her command were familiar with it or not, she gathered a naval division as much as possible to go to Dongting, and there was no faster way for the army to grow than to directly participate in the war. Moreover, Xiao Jiaowen must have a certain proportion of results and the number of people who participated in the battle in order to better divide after the war. In essence, she already has an absolute advantage, after all, Youjiang City has already started, and there are many family members of Sun Yu's sailors.
For Li Qingzhao of Xiangzhou, they were actually quite shocked, and they didn't expect that Sun Yu would be so blatantly attacking Xiangzhou, and the goal was obvious, and it was clear that he wanted to attack Yuecheng. No matter how you look at it, this is a very brainless move, Yuecheng as the northern barrier of Xiangzhou, how can it not be a heavy army, not only Sun Shangxiang's sailor is stationed nearby, but now even Chen Shuozhen has been put in charge of the city defense garrison.
If Sun Yu's strength doubles again, there may indeed be a certain threat, but now?
Especially after knowing that An Ge led 10,000 people to disappear, Sun Yu's defeat was almost a foregone conclusion. The former doesn't leave, and the latter can continue to be a-stirring stick, but as soon as An Ge leaves, he is completely out of play. It is foreseeable that with the advantage of occupying Youjiang City, Xiao Jiwen will definitely be able to share the vast majority of the sailors.
At this point, Li Qingzhao and the others are not panicked, Sun Yu may be stupid, but Xiao Yuwen will definitely not, even if she is stronger again, she will never attack Xiangzhou. And according to reliable information, the sailor of Daliang is about to enter Jingzhou, and based on this alone, in order to create a balance, he will also think of strengthening Xiao Yu's sailor.
Perhaps the sailors under Sun Yu are familiar, but the ships are relatively old, and they are not as good as the new warships in Xiangzhou. It is that Xiangzhou may not be comparable in terms of the number of sailors, but it is not inferior at all. As long as it's not a disadvantage, that's acceptable. Of course, you can't let Xiao Yao's wife get it so smoothly, you have to extort some benefits.
After all, for Xiangzhou, that is, to send a wave of experience, didn't you see Sun Shangxiang excited, since the formation of the water division, there has never really been a head-to-head battle, and now that he has finally waited for the opportunity, he can't wait.
For this battle, even Gao Yuyao, who was on the way north, was extremely concerned. Sun Yu must be defeated, there is no doubt about this. But Gao Yuyao wanted to know more about the real combat power of the Xiangzhou Water Division.
The soldiers and horses in Xiangzhou have not moved for a long time, and it is difficult to know their depth. The forces under Zhou Shaoyu's command, the combat power of the north is beyond doubt, these alone are enough to make people jealous, if the strength of the south is also very good......
However, in the end, I couldn't see anything.
Because Sun Yu's family is all in the hands of Xiao Yu's wife, there is not much morale at all, and there are people waiting for an opportunity to escape almost every day. And Sun Shangxiang also seemed to regard this combat opportunity as an excellent place for military training, and various tactics emerged one after another, and the results were tried one after another. And among them, there is only no broadside battle, originally, the so-called broadside battle, it is a direct jump gang close to the ship, in Sun Shangxiang's view, this is nothing to try, just add casualties in vain, it is better to try more complicated tactics.
For example, all kinds of warships cooperate, assault, collision, disruption, etc., etc., this is the charm of water warfare. It's just rude.
"The princess is really bold." Sun Shangxiang stood at the top of the command ship, calmly commanding the sailors to fight, but next to her, it was Xiao Yu's sister-in-law who was there!
"You and I are allies, so why can't we come here?" Xiao Jiwen didn't seem to care.
That is to say, no one will take it seriously, but it is true that they will not do it at this moment. Safety is still fine, but it's still a bit risky. But Xiao Jiwen can't take care of so much, her biggest shortcoming at present is the sailor, and there are no qualified generals under her command, seeing that Sun Shangxiang is playing well, she really can't bear it, and decided to come over to watch it and learn from it in person.
However, after a few days, I can only comprehend some scratches of the surface.
There is no way, Sun Shangxiang's so-called command, almost nothing is said, a few simple gestures and movements, the female guard next to her can immediately understand, and then wave the colorful flag with both hands to convey the order, so that Xiao Jiao can only make up the guess by watching the movement of the ship in front.
looked at Sun Shouren, who was silent next to him, a little pity and a little annoyed, if Sun Shouren really served himself at the beginning, how many detours. But I also know that this is also to think about it, because even if Sun Shouren really joined the service at that time, Xiao Jiwen would not take it seriously.
"In fact, Sun Yu still has a certain ability, with their current situation, ordinary people have long since collapsed without a fight, but now, although there are people fleeing every day, but on the whole, there is still a fight, which is not easy." Sun Shangxiang ignored Xiao Yao's words, directly changed the topic, and at the same time made a few gestures to convey the order. "If it weren't for An Ge's betrayal, which greatly reduced the morale of Master Sun Yushui, I might not have dared to fight so directly head-on."
This is not false, in the final analysis, the Xiangzhou Navy Division warship may be better, but the number of people is here, and there is not much actual combat experience. If it was an intact Sun Yushui master, he would definitely make a roundabout move, rather than such a bold attempt.
Well, it's not so much that the Xiangzhou sailors are constantly learning from experience, it's better to say that even Sun Shangxiang is no exception. To put it bluntly, she has never led the army in the real sense.
"An Ge, heh, ......" It's okay not to mention it, as soon as this name is mentioned, Xiao Jiwen will be angry, no one will like betrayal, and An Ge, who was Xiao Ji's person at the ear, secretly served Ailiange, that is, it belongs to the Xiangzhou forces. After finishing the matter, both rebelled and used Sun Yu to become powerful alone. Until now, An Ge betrayed again, directly gave up Sun Yu, and disappeared with some of his men.
The back of the head is reflexive, probably talking about this kind of person, who is really blind to that beautiful face.
"Where does the princess think An Ge is at this time? You know, 10,000 people are not a small number, but so far no news has come. Sun Shangxiang said again. She also doesn't like people like An Ge, but she does admire them to a certain extent.
"Perhaps...... Yuzhou? Xiao Jiwen is also guessing.
Yuzhou is now divided into two, the west belongs to Xiao Jiwen, and the east belongs to Huofeng. The Yuzhou in her mouth naturally refers to the part of the fire phoenix. After all, most of Huofeng's troops are now going to Qingzhou, and it is a relatively weak time, as long as he grasps the opportunity, he may not be able to gain a firm foothold there.
Not only does Xiao Auntie think so, but the girls in Xiangzhou probably also think so, in addition to the above reasons, there are naturally other reasons.
Yuzhou is the center of the Central Plains, and its geographical location is self-evident. And with the habit of taking advantage of the situation, it is only right that he will inevitably occupy a piece of territory close to Huizhou. Because this move will undoubtedly get Gao Yuyao's support.
Without him, Huizhou has been plagued twice, even if it will definitely be strengthened in the future, but if there is one more barrier in front, what is not good, after all, it will not take too much effort to arrange and pull together, because Ange's weak strength is not able to make any big waves compared to the big beam.
Based on the above, if An Ge goes to Yuzhou, he can wait for the opportunity to occupy an important piece of land in the Central Plains, and second, he can get some funding and support with his back to the big beam. And apart from here, there are few places in the world that are suitable for Ange.
It's just that Xin Xianying doesn't agree with this view, in her opinion, Ange is always unexpected, isn't it. It's just that I really can't see Ange's plan now.
Indeed, on top of the Dongting, with Sun Shangxiang's continuous training and the passage of time, Sun Yu was almost unable to support it, and he wanted to go back to Yunmengze to hide again, but the way was blocked by Xiao Yu's sailor. Maybe the latter's combat power is very average, but Sun Yu doesn't have much fighting spirit here, and it is not a problem to block a few rivers. In this way, it is only a matter of time before Sun Yu is completely solved, and the new force under his command can be retained to the greatest extent. In the end, there has been no direct broadside battle, and the casualties are so big, and more of them are prisoners.
It was at this time that Gao Yuyao led 120,000 troops into Qingzhou, and Huofeng had to retreat first to join Qin Liangyu, relying on Licheng to arrange a defensive line.
At the same time, the war on the steppe resumed, and within five days, three small tribes were wiped out, and according to survivors, this was done by Ashinabu. It seems that Ashina Huqin has once again aimed his realization in the grassland, wanting to regain his prestige on the grassland.
As far away as Silla, the combined army formed by the Jin people will finally officially collide with the first line of defense formed by the Silla New Army.
However, what no one expected was that a small fire was burning far southwest of South Vietnam.
From the oil river city of Jingzhou, around Xiangzhou, through Qianzhou, and finally into Nanyue, and then through the southwest, all the way over the mountains and mountains, the wind and dust, due to the climate discomfort, miasma poisoning deaths of no less than 1,000 people. Under the lack of food and clothing, it even caused chaos and even mutiny for a time.
But in the end, I got through it.
To be able to do this, An Ge relied on the rather prestigious general, who was under strong pressure and barely carried it until now, but this was enough, and next, An Ge already had absolute confidence to lead these people, as for the reason......
There aren't any major forces in this area. Perhaps to the northwest is Xiao Ji's Yunzhou, and to the northeast is the territory of the Three Mountains and the local forces. But in essence, there is a certain distance. If the first two can be counted as the scope of the Liang people. Then this place is generally considered barbarian, and even the language is different.
What An Ge wants to do is to conquer and unify this place, and then plot the land of Nanyue, so as to further peek into the Central Plains. Yuzhou is indeed a good place, but it is too difficult to gain a firm foothold or even develop, and it is far from being so easy to control, unlike the barbarians here, as long as you conquer, you can honestly be like a dog.
"According to the spies, there is a village of about 1,000 people ahead." An Ge laughed softly, and the general next to him was obsessed, and all he wanted was to capture a city, because An Ge said that when he was there, he would get married immediately.
It's a village or something, he doesn't take it seriously at all.
"Village? Isn't there a bigger place here? ”
"It's self-contained, and the concubine can't run, so why should you be anxious." An Gejiao laughed twice, as if she had seen through the general's thoughts. Then he said: "It's just that our team is a little scattered, and we must improve morale and cohesion." If we capture the big city in the future, we need to develop naturally not too much harm, but this small village is different. ”
"What do you mean......"
"And ......"
On that day, the nameless village was slaughtered, which can be described as miserable. On the other hand, the morale of the soldiers under his command has increased a lot. This kind of thing has never been new in ancient times, let alone treating barbarians, even in their own country, it is inevitable. And this method is indeed the most direct, simplest and most violent way to boost morale. The original dissatisfaction and exhaustion were swept away, and finally the army once again had what it should be.
A few days later, the city of Atu was captured, and on the same day, the general was accidentally killed in the battle, and An Ge did not give his soldiers any chance to react and think, and immediately gathered troops and horses, and strongly gathered the young and strong indigenous troops of Atu City to go out together, and for several days in a row, the surrounding forces were swept away! By this time, An Ge had already established enough prestige that no one objected to her sitting on the highest position and leading the people.
Because the place is relatively remote, almost no one cares, and the news will not be able to spread for a while.
It is foreseeable that in the future, the land of South Vietnam will inevitably experience great chaos.
Zhou Shaoyu's side is here to lay out, Gao Yuyao is too, and so is Xiao Yao's sister-in-law, and now there is one more Ange?
Silla, the forward line of defense.
It is said that this is the first line of defense of Silla, but in fact, most of the current Silla soldiers and horses have been invested here, and if there is a choice, Kim Sun-deok does not want to do it. But it can't be returned. Half of the northern part of Silla has been occupied by the Jin State, and then retreat? Will the new capital also fall?
"If only I had a little more time." Even Zhou Shaoyu frowned a little, the new Silla queen Kim Sun-deok is a person who can do practical things, but it has been so long, and even the remaining territory of Silla has not been completely cleared and controlled, so she has to face another invasion of the Jin Kingdom. Fortunately, there were too many Jin people killed and wounded, and there were only 1,000 Jin people on this expedition, and the rest were all pseudo-Liang troops and Liukou troops, otherwise they would be even more annoyed.
The combat power of the Silla army has never been high, and the only advantage at the moment is that it is relatively more willing to work hard, and under the continuous fame, Kim Sun-deok is very popular in Silla, and most of them are willing to die, but they still lack training, and it is still unknown what they can do.
And Zhou Shaoyu's mercenaries, so far, are only worth more than 8,000. This is already the result of Akechi Mitsuhide's best efforts, in the end, it is not the local forces of Dongwei and the fixed territory, it is not so easy to recruit people.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoyu couldn't help but look at Tachibana Chiyo beside him, he hadn't forgotten that this was a female city lord from Dongwa. If you can accept it, can you let it go back and support it?
