Text: The Battle of Great Powers_Chapter 245 Water Destroys a Thousand Troops
After the sailors led by Li Ancheng occupied the Erbuna River, they did not move at all, which made Xiao Chen very dissatisfied. It can be said that if the million-dollar naval division led by Li Ancheng attacks from the north, the battle in Sanguan can definitely end faster. Moreover, the Beichen Army will not have such large casualties. From this, it can be imagined how angry Xiao Chen is with Li Ancheng now.
After winning the three passes, the Beichen army continued to clean up the more than 20 newly occupied cities while resting. Millions of troops spent five days in the newly occupied territory before moving north again. During these five days, in order to prevent the recurrence of guerrilla time, the people of Sharu in the newly occupied areas were almost slaughtered.
Although it is a bit bloody to always engage in massacres, this is the case with national hegemony. The two sides belong to different nationalities, so naturally they have a great enmity against each other. Therefore, for the sake of the future national stability of the Beichen Kingdom and the living space of the Han population, the massacre could only continue. Anyway, no one here will say that you are a butcher, the big guy who has not carried out a few massacres.
Within a few days, Xiao Chen led the main force to thirty miles south of the Erbuna River and set up camp. For a time, the entire south bank of the Great River was full of Beichen soldiers running back and forth. The large army camp is along the riverside, stretching for more than 100 miles, and there are countless flags.
On the same day, after Li Ancheng got the army led by his own king to camp thirty miles away from the south of the Yangtze River, he immediately left the water village and came to the camp.
When Li Ancheng walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Chen, Yue Fei, Zhang Han, Ma Chao and other generals were already waiting in the tent. Looking at the generals in this tent, their faces were uncertain, or they were cold, or their eyes were on fire. Anyway, Li Ancheng found out that he didn't move to provoke the dissatisfaction of the big guys. If you want to get out of the big tent today, it is estimated that it is unlikely.
"The last will see the king!" Li Ancheng took the lead in saluting Xiao Chen and said.
Xiao Chen squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Ancheng in front of him, and then said softly, "General Li, are you guilty?"
Li Ancheng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, and then said: "The last general will be guilty!" ”
"Well, the attitude is good, so what are your crimes?"
Li Ancheng was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, is this own king idle and has nothing to do! "After the last general led the naval division to master the Erbuna River, he did not advance and failed to complete the previous strategic deployment. As a result, our army was blocked in the three passes, with heavy casualties, and I also asked the king to punish the crime of the last general! ”
Xiao Chen looked up at Li Ancheng, who confessed his guilt, and snorted at the corner of his mouth and said: "Of course the crime can be treated, disobeying the military order is a big crime, and it should be beheaded!" Over the years, you have made a lot of meritorious contributions, so I will send the first level for the time being, and then make up for the merits in the future. In a while, I will go and get the eighty big board myself! ”
Li Ancheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said: "The last general will obey the order, thank the king for not killing him!" ”
"Okay, tell me why you're holding back. Because your sailors did not follow the strategic deployment formulated before, we lost 300,000 troops, hum! If you don't give me an explanation today, don't think about making meritorious contributions. ”
"No! The last general led the sailors to the Erbuna River a month ago, and stayed at the mouth of the river for several days, but did not see the sailors of the Shalu Kingdom coming to meet them. Immediately, the last general let the army enter the Erbuna River and choose a place to settle down in the water village. While searching everywhere for the sailors of the Shalu Kingdom, they also strictly guarded the riverside. It's just that he still hasn't found the sailor of Shalu Kingdom, so the last general has never dared to move! Li Ancheng quickly said the concerns in his heart.
Xiao Chen also frowned when he heard this, as a person in the real society, how could he not know the power of the water master. Before, Coconut Tree was worried about the sailors of the Shalu Kingdom, so Li Ancheng first wiped out the sailors of the Shalu Kingdom, and then entered the Erbuna River. But he didn't expect that the sailors of Shalu Country had never shown up, so it was reasonable for Li Ancheng to station in the water village to guard against the areas along the river after Li Ancheng entered the Erbuna River.
"So far, there is no news of the sailors of the Shalu Kingdom? Is there anything on the MIA side?" Xiao Chen looked at Qin Ming below suspiciously.
Qin Ming is the current director of the military intelligence bureau of Beichen Kingdom, and the force value is not very high, but the degree of loyalty is not ordinarily high. Moreover, this kid is very talented in playing intelligence, and he has changed from a small soldier to the current leader of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Qin Ming also frowned when he saw Xiao Chen looking at him, and after thinking about it in his mind, he said, "King Qiqi, the Military Intelligence Bureau doesn't have any information about the Shalu National Naval Division here. The last general has hundreds of spies all over the Shalu country, and after a month, there has been no trace of the sailors of the Shalu country! ”
"Hundreds of spies, plus General Li's search troops, can't find the location of the Shalu National Water Division? What are you all doing to eat, now there is no information from the Shalu National Water Division, how can we cross the river! Xiao Chen yelled at Qin Ming angrily.
Shalu is a coastal country, and there is the Erbuna River in its own country, so it stands to reason that there must be sailors. As for the scale of the water division, it is estimated that it will not be small. After all, don't look at the scale of the Beichen Naval Division, but in front of those guys who really play the navy, it's all a piece of cake. Sharu is surrounded by countries that are not weak, and they are unable to fight a good situation on land, so they will definitely focus on the navy. In this way, the Beichen Army did not know the scale of the Shalu National Water Division, and Xiao Chen did not dare to cross the river easily even if he was killed.
Millions of people crossing the river is definitely not something that can be completed in a day or two. The widest part of the Erbuna River is also 3,000 meters, and it is impossible to build a pontoon bridge for the rapids of the river, and it absolutely does not mind washing the pontoon bridge floating on the river. The only way for the Beichen Army to cross the river was to rely on the 2,000 troop carriers of the naval division.
However, most of the 2,000 troop carriers are transporting logistical materials for the Beichen Army, and it would be good if a few hundred of them could be dispatched. Therefore, the troops that can be delivered to the other side of the river at one time are at most one or two hundred thousand, and don't forget that in addition to the soldiers, some supplies must be transported.
And what can one or two hundred thousand people do, this is not the most terrible. In the unlikely event that after the Beichen Army had transported some troops across the river, the Shalu National Naval Division suddenly appeared and cut off the river, the hundreds of thousands of people who crossed the river would almost be declared destroyed. If the sailor starts a war, it is impossible not to fight for ten days and half a month at a time. In addition, Shalu Country is on the defensive, and people will not come out to fight you for a decisive battle for several months, and the Beichen Army will not dare to continue to send troops across the river.
Suddenly, a strange thought appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. So, he hurriedly asked Qin Ming again: "In the north of the Shalu Country, is there a large lake, that is, the kind of big lake that can be used to train water masters?"
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said: "King Qiqi, the secret agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau have already drawn the topography and city distribution of Shalu Country into drawings and handed them over to you!" ”
Eh, Xiao Chen's head is black, damn it! It's two more!
Xiao Chen turned his head and said to the guards: "Go, get the map!" ”
"No!"
"Wait!" The guard had just answered, and was about to go to the big tent next to him to take out the map, but was stopped by Yue Fei on the side. Immediately, I heard Yue Fei say, "King, you don't need to take the map." There are no large lakes in the north of the Sharu River, only a tributary of the Erbuna River, which branches off from the main stream and goes north. ”
After Yue Fei finished speaking, Xiao Chen pondered for a while, and then said again: "General Li, send your sailor to that tributary to investigate. I wonder if there is no sailor in the country of Shalu?"
Xiao Chen's last sentence made the generals in the tent thunderous! There is no sailor in the country of Shalu? Just kidding!
There is the Erbuna River in the country of Shalu, and then it is all facing the sea in the east, how can there be no sailors! If there were no sailors, how would the Shalu Kingdom obtain the land south of the Erbna River?
"King, this shouldn't be possible! Shalu is not only near the sea, but also has a big river in the country, and it can't be said without a sailor! Yue Fei asked suspiciously.
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and said absent-mindedly: "Ahem, I'm just suspicious." Our sailors have not found the sailors of the Shalu Kingdom in the nearby waters and in the big rivers. If there were sailors in Sharu, they would either be nesting in a tributary of the Erbuna River or on a small island overseas. ”
"So, we just need to investigate the tributaries of the Erbuna River to see if there are any sailors from the Shalu Kingdom. If not, the sailors of the Sharu Kingdom will either be nested in a small island overseas, or there will be no sailors at all. At that time, our sailors only need to detach a part of the sea to block the mouth of the Erbuna River and the nearby seas, and then it will be over. Even if there is a sailor in Shalu, it is just a moth to a fire. ”
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, Yue Fei fantasized in his mind. Afterwards, Yue Fei said: "We have to send a part of the warships to guard the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River." Our logistics need to transport supplies to the army from the land and coastal areas south of the Yangtze River. If the Sharu Naval Division suddenly attacks our logistics, it will be really troublesome! ”
As soon as Yue Fei's words fell, all the generals in the tent were also shocked, and then a cold sweat broke out on his back. This big guy really didn't expect Ah, now the main force of the army is stationed by the river, and there are not many guards in the more than 50 cities occupied by Jiangnan. Once attacked by the Shalu Naval Division, the Beichen Army is likely to be cut off from the food route.
Xiao Chen also swallowed his saliva with trepidation, this Nima is really careless, fortunately he found it earlier. Otherwise, if it really happened, the nearly 10 million Beichen Army would definitely collapse instantly, and then the Beichen Kingdom would really be finished. You must know that there are now 8 million soldiers gathered on the riverside, and the grain and grass consumed every day is tens of thousands of stones. Once the grain road behind is cut off, only the more than 500,000 denier of grain and grass in the army will not be able to last for half a month.
What will happen when there is no food and grass? Xiao Chen really couldn't imagine it!
"General Li, now your sailor has a very important task. You rush back first, make arrangements, don't let the Saru National Sailor take advantage of the loophole! ”
Li Ancheng also said in fear: "No! The last general will hurry back and arrange it! ”
Li Ancheng would be really scared, he was the commander of the Beichen National Naval Division, but he didn't arrange warships in the coastal area south of the Yangtze River to guard against the Shalu National Naval Division. When Yue Fei said this, he frightened Li Ancheng, for fear that his boss would investigate his dereliction of duty. However, fortunately, this problem has been avoided for the time being.
Now Li Ancheng has only one idea, that is, to quickly mobilize warships to the coast of the south of the Yangtze River to prevent a sudden attack by the Shalu National Naval Division. Hopefully, nothing will happen until the warship rushes over and sets up precautions.
Out of the big tent, Li Ancheng hurriedly turned over his horse, took his guards and whipped away......
While the high-level of the Beichen Army was discussing military affairs, the monarchs of the three kingdoms of Gran, Sunset, and Els to the west of Sharu also gathered.
The sun never sets on the monarch of the country of Val. Edward sat in the main seat, next to David, the monarch of the kingdom of Gran, and Grace, the monarch of the country of Els. The three of them gathered in the place where they were, which was the palace of Sun City, the capital of the country on which the sun never set.
"Vir, what did you call both of us over this time?" David David, the monarch of the Kingdom of Gran, said first. The three countries are geographically connected and have long formed a military alliance. In addition, the expansion direction between the three kingdoms is also different, and the three monarchs have always been very harmonious with each other.
Vail. Edward was silent for a moment, then spread out a map, and then said, "This time I am looking for you to discuss an important matter. ”
Grace looked at the map that Will took out suspiciously, and asked, "Huh?" Isn't it a matter of the Beichen Army's army going north?"
"It's not!" Will looked at Grace and said, then glanced at the map again and said, "This time the matter we discussed is related to the life and death of our three kingdoms!" ”
"Survival? Will, is it that serious?" Grace said suspiciously, it was obvious that Grace felt that what Vir said was a little too unreliable.
The Beichen Army's tens of millions of troops went north, and it was indeed menacing. However, now that the Beichen Army is at war with the Shalu Kingdom, it is not a soft bone, I believe that the Shalu Kingdom will definitely make the Beichen Kingdom bleed!
"Yes, it's that serious!" Vir sighed and continued: "I just got the news that the Beichen Army has completely occupied more than fifty cities in the south of the Shalu Kingdom, and has also annihilated one million troops in the Shalu Kingdom. Now the eight million troops of the Beichen Army are gathered by the river, ready to cross the Erbna River at any time and fully occupy the Shalu country! ”
"Oh! God, how is this possible! It has only been a little more than a month since the Beichen Army destroyed the Buni Kingdom, and you must know that it will take nearly ten days to march from the Buni Kingdom to the Erbuna River. Could it be that the dozens of cities in the Shalu Kingdom can't withstand it for even a month?" David exclaimed loudly. You must know that once the Beichen Kingdom destroys the Shalu Kingdom, the next step will definitely be your own Gran Kingdom.
"That's right! Now the Beichen Army can cross the Erbuna River at any time! Will said with deep concern.
As for scolding myself in my heart, I have long been scolding myself! Why was he idle in the past and wiped out the sailor of Shalu Country, otherwise now Shalu Country can carry it for a while under the Beichen Army's troops! What a mistake!
