Section 301 After the Great Week
Yang Kan carefully calculated the strength in his hands.
Although the Wuning Army suffered some losses in the battle for Songcheng with the Caizhou Army, it was not large, and now Xuzhou's strong logistics and personnel support mechanism makes it impossible to replenish any army now, so the soldiers are replenished in place.
Wang Shouxin and Zhang Junyue are both veteran generals who can conquer and fight, and the Wuning army under their command has grown rapidly after experiencing the run-in with the Caizhou army Songcheng.
It can be said that in the current Xuzhou military system, the Tianping Army, the Ziqing Army, the Wuning Army, and the Ya Army are the strongest, while the Pinglu Army, the Heshuo Army, and the Huaiyou Army are all listed behind.
It is difficult to say what the newly built Huaizuo Army and Xuanwu Army will be, but neither the army that has been in battle can hope too much.
The Tianping Army was mainly formed by Zhu Mao's old subordinates, and this force was the most complete, basically not disrupted, but enriched in logistics and magic equipment, so this army was the strongest town.
At the beginning, there were some different opinions in the political hall and the Privy Council, that is, they were worried that supporting the Tianping Army with all their might would make Zhu Mao regain the idea of wanting to secede, but Jiang Feng did not hesitate to dispel these people's worries.
With the expansion of the war and the increasing power of magic, the army's dependence on logistics has become increasingly prominent, no matter which commander can clearly realize that Zhu Mao and Gao Jinzhong are veterans who have been rolling for many years, what will the army be like without logistics support, they know better than anyone else, what do you want to follow Jiang Feng now, you can fight with peace of mind, why not?
Zhu Mao himself had an in-depth exchange with Jiang Feng, claiming that he was indeed not the master of one side, and was only suitable for leading troops to fight, Jiang Feng thought so.
A manager who is self-aware is reassuring.
The strength of the Ziqing Army and the Wuning Army is between Bozhong, the cavalry of these two armies is mainly based on the original Lao Ping Lu Ziqing Army, but the infantry army is the original Huaiyou Army deployed, of course, some of the original Lao Ping Lu Ziqing Army remained, these two armies have experienced the battle with the Caizhou Army for Song City, after a run-in, they have matured.
There is a complete Wuning army, Yang Kan is very sure, the Huaiyou Army is reinforced by Zhang Ting, there are six army infantry troops, that is to say, at present, in addition to the Wuning Army has two armies stationed in the newly recovered Yingbo Prefecture, there are 12 armies plus 6 armies of the Huaiyou Army, 18 armies, 45,000 men and horses.
And this is without the arithmetic apparatus army and the more than 20,000 masters.
Yang Kan believed that the strength in his hands was enough to defeat Ruyang, but if he was eager to take Ruyang, the price he might pay would be relatively large, especially when the other party was strong in the small heaven position and the heaven realm masters.
So he hopes to transfer the southern naval army from Yangzhou, Chai Yong has already formed the Huaizuo Army, and it is not a problem to control Yangzhou with Chai Yong and Yan Xu's means, especially Xu Ning is still in Yangzhou to help stabilize the situation.
The gentry of Yangzhou, who have experienced a wave of bloody rain, have been frightened, and these gentry who have been nourished by salt for a hundred years have long lost the courage and sharpness of their ancestors to sell smuggled salt, and are more willing to kneel and lick in the face of the power of the government.
Originally, the Southern Naval Army had four armies, and after absorbing part of the Wu State Naval Army, it was expanded to six armies, of which three corps were stationed in Yangzhou, two armies were stationed in Chuzhou and Sizhou, and one army was stationed in Hezhou on the river.
This line stationed in Huaishui actually only retained two armies stationed in Chuzhou and Sizhou, and even Shouzhou, which was known as the most important commercial hub under the rule of the Song Dynasty, was only a battalion of the naval army sent from Sizhou, and the army stationed in Sizhou not only had to take into account the upper reaches of Huaishui, but also patrol the canal all the way to Suzhou.
This also shows Xuzhou's confidence in the security situation in the Huaishui Basin.
Yang Kan also sent a letter to Mei Quan, hoping that he could lead the naval army to help him, when Tian Chunlai had gradually emerged, Yangzhou could completely let Tian Chun help Chai Yong control the situation, and Mei Kuang was also willing to accept such a challenge.
The mobilization of the navy is much more convenient than that of the cavalry infantry army, without him, the baggage grain and grass can be directly loaded and transported by ship, and it can not be affected by the night, like the southern navy to transfer over is not difficult, only need to assemble the two sailors of Chuzhou and Sizhou, and wait until the sailor army from Yangzhou arrives, and simply hand over and change the guard, and it can quickly move westward.
At this time, it is the period of abundant water, suitable for the big ship to travel, from Sizhou, Chuzhou upstream, that is, ten days, before Yang Kan has ordered Sizhou and Chuzhou two armies to keep only one battalion stationed, the rest of the rapid flow up to Xincai standby.
It is estimated that these two should have arrived at the intersection of Rushui and Huaishui.
These two troops only had 4,000 troops, but the fire dragon cannons on the ships were enough to make the Yuan army in Ruyang shudder.
Thinking of this kind of turret that could move at will on the Ru River, Yang Kan couldn't help but show a smug smile, the power of the navy lies in this, its mobility ability can make any enemy army that is always within its strike range daunting.
"Privy, is there good news?" Zhang Junyue stepped onto the high platform and asked in a deep voice.
"Not yet, but I thought King Song would agree with us. Yang Kan nodded, "Jun Yue, if you want to fight this battle, I'm afraid that the Wu Ning Army will have to bear a lot of losses." ”
"Hehe, privy, fighting is not dead, is that still called fighting?" Zhang Junyue laughed, "But if we want our Wuning army to pay the price, then the other party's price must be greater, and a certain also told the governor, this battle, a certain will go into battle in person, a certain Mo knife has not been fully played for a long time, and they were preempted by Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi in Song City, and this time a certain must take the lead." ”
"Well, if you Wu Ning Army don't want to take the lead, the strength of the Huaiyou Army is not as good as yours, but Zhang Ting also said that he would go into battle in person, and he hoped to achieve a breakthrough through a few fierce battles. ”
Yang Kan also received an invitation from Zhang Ting.
He can also understand Zhang Ting's eagerness, among the governors of the entire towns, only he and Xu Ziqing have not yet broken through the small heaven level of martial arts.
Especially with the arrival of a large number of original Liang generals, everyone was still pretending to be Taoguang before, but seeing that Caizhou was about to collapse, and the Xuzhou army had already gone north out of Heshuo, they were a little unable to sit still.
The first batch of Yang Houde, that is, his fourth uncle, has already personally put on the battle, He Guochang is the same, and there are also foreign powerhouses such as Zhou Wang, who have enthusiastically participated in the war, and now they have been appointed as the chief and deputy governor of Xuanwu Town, this demonstration is simply ecstatic.
Now there are more than five heavenly powerhouses who are eager to try, and they have shown their hearts to the King of Song, hoping to join the Xuzhou Army, which is now the Song Army.
These five strong men are all from the old generals such as Zhang, Zhu, Li, Ge, and Pang from the original Liang, and they are all the first batch, and it is estimated that there will be some strong ones in the follow-up.
Sometimes even Yang Kan felt that he couldn't understand why the original Liang had so many talents, but he couldn't use it, and watched the Shatuo people push the Liang into a desperate situation step by step, and finally collapsed.
Now these people have come out of the ruins of Daliang and joined the command of King Song, but they can bloom all of a sudden, and in time, these people may be able to take charge alone.
Maybe this is the way to control a monarch, Yang Kan can only think so.
"Hey, I have been in the mood for a while, he is just facing this plateau period, and he really needs such an opportunity for self-improvement, but Yuan Jun is still fighting, this is a desperate gamble, and the danger is not small. Zhang Junyue nodded understandingly.
"That is also a martial artist's choice, if he binds himself because he is afraid of danger, then it will be difficult for him to achieve improvement in his life. Yang Kan moved his body, "I also want to go into battle and fight with Yuan Huaifeng when I have the opportunity, I heard that he is second only to Yuan Huaihe in the Yuan family, and he is a rare opponent." ”
"Hehe, Privy Secret, what you say is the same as Du Du, Du Du also wants to find that Yuan Huaifeng to fight, and the worst is also to fight with Yuan Wu, who is known as the invincible Heavenly Demon, after this battle, I am afraid that the situation in the Central Plains will have to rest for a while, and there is not much chance to meet a suitable opponent. Zhang Junyue also laughed.
While the two were talking and laughing, a personal guard rushed over and flew onto the high platform, "Privy, handwritten by King Song." ”
"Well, it's finally here. Yang Kan was overjoyed, took the handwritten book, quickly glanced at it, and then handed it to Zhang Junyue: "King Song has agreed to our plan, immediately go to contact Liu Yong, within three days I will see the Nanyang army under Ruyang City, and then immediately send a horse to find out where the navy is, within five days, I will launch a full-scale attack on Ruyang!"
"Privy Secret, didn't you say that Privy Mei is also coming over?" asked Zhang Junyue in surprise.
"Well, Mei Shumi is like an idle cloud and a wild crane, let's not wait for him, but I guess Mei Shumi heard such a scene, I'm afraid it's almost there. Yang Kan smiled leisurely: "If you don't believe us, let's make a bet, within three days, Mei Shumi will arrive." ”
As Yang Kan expected, two days later, Mei Kuang came alone, and told Yang Kan that the two armies from Yangzhou were also marching upstream day and night, and it was estimated that they would arrive at the Shangcai line within ten days.
Jiang Feng sat up, and the woman next to him also woke up, and she was busy getting up to dress Jiang Feng.
"No need, I'll wear it myself, you can rest for a while, you were tired last night. Jiang Feng raised his hand to provoke the beauty's delicate and incoherent beauty, Yingying's eyes were a little more nervous and shy, and the ** body looked at it from this angle, and it was just right to see two white and greasy balls, and two points of red were faintly visible.
"Concubine ......"
"Well, here in Lone, you don't have to be so restrained, Lone is not a tiger. Jiang Feng couldn't help but sigh.
Who sent this woman here? Chai Yong is very arrogant, since it is the queen, it can only be owned by himself, and if he wants to take it away, Jiang Feng can't help but laugh dumbly, the nonsense of the folk warlock has now become the best reason for his greed.
