Biquge.inforeadx;? Benjiang River, located at the junction of Nanhai County and Qingyuan County of Sichuan County, just hear its name, it is not difficult to imagine the turbulence of the Benjiang River,

When chasing the rebels, the Zhenjun army and the rebels took a raft and crossed the Benjiang River successively, but now they wanted to return the same way and then to the Benjiang River, and found that they could no longer cross.

I saw that on the surface of the Benjiang River, hundreds of warships, large and small, appeared.

Among them, the largest warship is the Zhenhai ship of the Wind Country, the Zhenhai Ship is built by the Southeast Water Army, the captain is more than 20 zhang, the height of the ship is seven zhang away, it is the giant warship specially used to fight naval battles in the Wind Country, at that time, it can be called a veritable water giant,

The Southeast Navy is located in Sichuan County, and Sichuan County is the base camp of King Tang Cheng, it is obvious that the Southeast Navy Army that appears in Benjiang River is definitely not here to meet the Zhenjun Army, but to block their retreat.

From afar, looking at the Benjiang River, there are as many as twenty or thirty giant warships of the Zhenhai ship type alone, and as far as the eye can see, the large, medium and small warships of various types are lined up on the river, as if a long copper wall and iron wall have been erected in the river.

In this case, if the soldiers of the Zhenjun Army still want to cross the river on a raft, it will really be a way to kill themselves by hitting a stone with an egg.

The Benjiang River was blocked by the southeast naval army, and the return route of the Zhenjun army was equivalent to being completely cut off.

In fact, it is also very easy to understand, Zhenjun is an inland area, and there are very few rivers in the territory, even if you build a warship, it is useless, in this case, how can the forge still spend energy researching and building warships?

The four western counties of the Wind Country are all inland, and there is no naval army camp, and the naval army camp of the Wind Country is all concentrated in the four eastern counties, and now they are all controlled by the rebels.

Even if the Zhenjun army sent a letter to Xijing to tell the emergency, Xijing couldn't transfer the navy and came to the rescue of Sichuan County.

Before setting out on the expedition, the Zhenjun army calculated everything about the rebels, and also calculated all kinds of difficulties that they could encounter in this battle, but they missed the naval army in the rebels.

Standing on a mountain peak near the Benjiang River, Shangguan Xiu looked down and said faintly: "I thought that the army under Tang Cheng was only 200,000, but it turned out that I also missed the water army of Sichuan County,"

The Sichuan County Water Army is the main force of the Wind Country Water Army, the Southeast Water Army of Sichuan County, among the four major water armies of the Wind Country (Tianyuan Water Army, Zhenjiang Water Army, East China Sea Army, Southeast Water Army), the combat power is the strongest.

Hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, all the generals of the Zhenjun army were silent, and what Shangguan Xiu didn't expect, they didn't expect either.

The wind country is not a landlocked country, in the east, there is a long coastline, but there is no strong enemy at sea, the wind country has never paid much attention to the water army, all the turmoil in the wind country has not affected the water army, the water army has never participated in the civil strife in the wind country, people naturally forget the water army, in addition, the battles fought by the Zhenjun army are all land battles, people have never thought of fighting water wars in the past, inertial thinking, people completely ignore the water army in the rebels,

Shangguan Xiu turned his head sideways and said, "Morning,"

"The subordinates are here," Zhao Chen stepped forward and intervened to give a salute,

"Who is the commander of the Southeast Water Army?"

"It's Du Fei and Du Yu,"

"Who,"

"A native of Sichuan County, whose father Du Ming, served in the Seventh Legion,"

Therefore, Du Ming named his two sons Du Fei and Du Yu, "The predecessor of the Seventh Legion was the Feiyu Army,

"I think so,"

"Hmph, when Du Ming named his son, I am afraid he never dreamed that his two sons would become rebels," Shangguan Xiu said: "Ah Luo,"

"The end will be,"

"Send a strategist who can speak well, go to see Du Fei and Du Yu, and tell the two brothers that as long as they are willing to surrender, as long as they are willing to return to the court, I will not blame the two of them for the crime of rebellion, and let him continue to serve as the chief general of the Southeast Water Army," The Water Army is a scarce army in the Wind Country, and on the side of the Tang Ling Imperial Court, there is not even a single soldier of the Water Army, if you can persuade the Southeast Water Army to surrender, in the future, against the Shangtian Yuan Water Army, Zhenjiang Water Army, and East China Sea Army, you will have no soldiers to use, and you are helpless.

Luo Ren intervened to receive the order, and then assigned a quick and eloquent strategist, and ordered him to go to the warship of the Southeast Navy Army to meet Du Fei and Du Yu.

Escorted by two soldiers, the strategist rode on a raft to the warship in the center of the river, and the small raft was only fifty meters away from the shore.

Look at the small raft again, it was smashed to pieces by a few iron bumps falling from the sky, and one of the strategists and two soldiers on the raft disappeared into the vast river in an instant.

In this situation, Shangguan Xiu and the others on the mountain peak on the shore saw it clearly, even Luo Ren, who was often kind to the rebels, was so angry that his face turned red, his fists rattled, he turned his head to look at Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Brother Xiu-"

Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Pass the order, all artillery battalions, gather artillery on the shore to bombard enemy warships,"

With Shangguan Xiu's order, the artillery of the Zhenjun Army, who was on standby on the shore, pushed the artillery to the riverside one after another.

The warships on the river also saw the abnormal movement of the Zhenjun army, hundreds of warships drove quickly towards the north bank, and when the Zhenjun army launched an artillery bombardment, the shells only hit the center of the river, and could not hit the warships of the southeast naval army at all.

Seeing that all the warships of the Southeast Navy Army were concentrated on the north bank, Luo Ren ordered: "Pass the order, all the soldiers of the army, prepare to cross the river......"

"Wait a minute," Shangguan Xiu stopped Luo Ren, the southeast navy was not beaten away by their own artillery, but gathered on the north bank, if they forcibly crossed the river, they would still encounter the southeast navy, only rely on these small rafts of their own side, to fight with the Zhenhai ship dozens of zhang long, I am afraid that people will not need to open fire, just walk over, and knock over their own rafts,

Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled and asked, "Du Fei, Du Yu, where is home?"

Zhao Chen hurriedly replied: "It should be in the county city of Chuanzhou,"

Shangguan Xiu sneered: "The rebels have two base camps, one is Feng County, and the other is Sichuan County, this time, since we are trapped in Sichuan County, we will turn Tang Cheng's hometown upside down, let him understand what it means to invite God and send God hard," >

"His Royal Highness (Brother Xiu) means ......"

"Our army will no longer retreat, continue to go south, and take Sichuan Prefecture, the families of the Sichuan County rebels, if nothing else, they should all be in the county town, this time our army smashed Huanglong, destroyed their lair, so that the Sichuan County rebels have no worries from now on, and they will be their rebels in Shangjing with peace of mind,"

"But Your Highness, our army is short of food and grass......"

"Sichuan County is an important place for grain production in our country, in the territory of Sichuan County, are you still worried about no food to eat, for hundreds of years, the tradition of the Zhen people is to fight wherever you go, where to eat, eat food if you have food, and eat people for me if you don't have food," Shangguan Xiu's eyes lit up, and he said categorically,

Everyone present was in the same spirits, and said in unison: "Yes, Your Highness,"

Due to the blockade of the southeast naval army in the Benjiang River, the Zhenjun army could only give up retreating, and the officers and men of the whole army chose to continue to go south under the order of Shangguan Xiu.

The rebels thought that the Jungjun army's circuit was cut off, and they would definitely choose to retreat westward, take the junction of Sichuan County and Zhenjun, and then retreat to Zhenjun.

Even the rebels have set up an ambush on the western waterway of Sichuan County, and can only give it a fatal blow when the Zhenjun army crosses the river.

As a result, the route of the Zhenjun army was completely different from what the rebels expected, but all the way south, south, and then south, and the army approached the county city of Chuanzhou.

When the Zhenjun army marched to Xiaoling County, the rebels finally realized that the Zhenjun army had never thought of retreating to Zhenjun, and their target was actually Sichuanzhou.

Chuanzhou is just east of Xiaoling County, if Xiaoling County is penetrated by the Zhenjun army, next, Chuanzhou will face the situation of soldiers coming to the city.

After seeing the intentions of the Zhenjun army, the rebels panicked and fought a water war, they were naturally not afraid of the Zhenjun army, not to mention that the Zhenjun army only had one legion, even if there were ten legions, they were not afraid, but in a land war, the situation was just adjusted, not to mention a southeast water army, even if it was ten southeast water armies, the Zhenjun army would not take it seriously,

The rebels who stayed in Sichuan County were mainly naval troops, and the naval army did not dare to fight a head-to-head land battle with the Zhenjun army, and now the Zhenjun army went straight to the county seat, and they couldn't help it.

Fighting, in fact, is like a problem for each other, the main attacking side is naturally the problem, the defensive side is the problem, solving the other party's problem, it is equivalent to disintegrating the opponent's offensive, and if you can't solve the opponent's problem, it is equivalent to walking into the road of defeat.

The rebels introduced the Zhenjun army into Sichuan County, and fought a water war with the Zhenjun army, which they were very good at, this strategic goal was undoubtedly a great success, but the rebels only thought about how to solve the problem, but they didn't think of how to solve the problem.

When the Zhenjun army had already invaded Xiaoling County, the rebels thought of transferring all the people in the city of Chuanzhou, but at this time they wanted to transfer the people of Sichuanzhou, it was too late, Chuanzhou is the fourth largest city in the country of wind, second only to Shangjing, Yuzhen, Yancheng, with a registered population of nearly one million.

The rebels could not transfer all the people, so they could only retreat to the next best thing, planning to transfer the officials and their families in Sichuan Prefecture first, as well as the families of the rebel generals in Sichuan County.

But it's very simple, it's too difficult to do in practice, when the rebel families move, they don't listen to the command of the rebels at all, this has to be brought, that has to be brought, everything that is valuable, the same is reluctant to be left behind, a family with a dozen carriages of property is considered small,

Most of the rebel generals were born in civilian families, and they have always lived a poor life, and finally one person ascended to heaven, and finally turned over and lived a good life, so that they could throw away their hard-won property, which was no different from asking for their lives.

By the time the families of the rebel generals were busy for two days and were about to flee out of the city, the first corps of the first legion of the Zhenjun Army was already under the city.

The arrival of the First Corps was a day ahead of the rebels' estimates, and it also caught the rebels off guard.

There are more than 30,000 rebels in Sichuanzhou, and the number of troops is much more than that of the first corps of less than 10,000.

More than 30,000 rebels in the city of Sichuan poured out and launched a fierce attack on the First Corps.

As a result, after this battle, more than 30,000 rebels were killed by the Zhenjun army of less than 10,000 people, and the rebels who were killed and captured in the battle were as many as tens of thousands, and the remaining more than 20,000 rebels fled into the city of Sichuan in a hurry, and the city gate was closed, and they did not dare to step out of the city.

For the rebels' closed door, the soldiers of the Zhenjun Army scoffed, there was no outer defense line to assist, only relying on the lonely city wall as a defense, in the firearms battlefield, this is a self-defeating way, no matter how high and thick and strong the city wall is, it will eventually be blown up by artillery,

The First Corps was not in a hurry to storm Sichuanzhou, they were in a hurry to march over, did not carry large baggage, there were only mortars in the army, there were no large artillery, it was not suitable for siege warfare, the First Corps was temporarily stationed outside the city of Sichuanzhou,
