Chapter 158: Mengjin Breakthrough

This is also the norm in this era.

It is simply impossible to have the intelligence perception of future generations. Most of the time, both sides are fighting in the fog. Dozens of miles apart, I don't know where the main force of the other side is, it's normal.

It's just that there are many traces of the big *** luck in the end. Beijing's intelligence agencies south of the Yellow River are not just staffed in Shandong. Fu Youde can be reasonable, clean and local in Shandong. It may not be possible to understand the eyeliner along the line.

So Fu Youde made a deception.

Xuzhou Iron Works can naturally produce normally. It has become an important base for the supply of weapons to the Yugoslav army. The Xuzhou Iron Works almost always supplied supplies to the armies along the Yellow River. The Jialu River is also an artificial river south of the Yellow River and parallel to the Yellow River. It is possible to transfer ships.

Nature is the best way for the army to march westward.

Ye Shen was silent for a while, and then said, "Scatter the cavalry out. Don't do anything else for now. Wait for news."

The advantage is in me. Ye Shen wants to see who can't hold his breath first.

Ye Shen said secretly, "Fu Youde, didn't you really come over?"

-------

The north bank of the Mengjin section of the Yellow River.

Jin Shengyu has been silent for a long time.

At the beginning of this year, Jin Shengyu was stationed here. Nothing seems to have been done. But little by little I am accumulating supplies. Little by little, accumulate an army.

Not even from this year. It started last year.

However, at that time, there was also a worry about the reserve of materials here, that is, I was worried about a sudden attack from the west of Shanxi. To the north and west are Shanxi and to the south is the Yellow River.

It's all the enemy.

Mengjin is an ancient ferry port, especially suitable for large armies to cross the river.

But at the beginning, Ye Shen didn't think about starting here, and this was one of the reasons.

But that's no longer the case.

Now Song Sheng is fighting Anyi, and the war between the two sides is urgent.

Jin Shengyu tried it, even at this time, Zhao Yong did not give up the defense on the Yiguan Road. But one thing is certain, that is, Jin Shengyu does not have to worry about the Shanxi army suddenly killing from behind.

Originally, in addition to maintaining defense, Jin Shengyu's troops, which had some mobile troops, suddenly became redundant.

More can be done.

Ye Shen chose to let Jin Shengyu cross the river to attack Mengjin.

Anyway, Ye Shen was ready. The Qinshui estuary is already in hand. A large amount of supplies could be transferred from Beijing to the Weihe River through the canal, from the wartime railway established by Weihui to Qinshui, and from Qinshui to the Yellow River to the west, directly supplying the front-line army.

Of course, there are a lot of problems.

After all, the Southern Army actually hid a lot of ships in the Yi River and the Luo River Valley. In the Yellow River section of Luoyang, there is still a certain ability to fight water warfare. Although the northern army occupied both sides of the Yellow River in Guangwu Mountain, making it difficult for the water forces in the lower reaches of the Yellow River to support Luoyang, it did not mean that Luoyang had no power to resist.

Sheng Yong has been operating in Luoyang for so long, not unprepared.

Moreover, Ye Shen's army actually did not go to Luoyang, it was on both sides of the Qin River.

In this case, what is the Luoyang side? It's hard to say.

However, Ye Shen was not in a hurry.

Anyway, to this day, in absolute numbers, the Northern Army has outnumbered the Southern Army.

Although the forbidden army is only more than 600,000, plus the sailors, it is only more than 700,000. However, there are many guards and even militia groups that can be recruited. The Beijing Imperial Court was never short of armaments. So as long as it goes south, it is enough for the southern army to eat a pot.

Moreover, Ye Shen's move seems to be a temptation. But the Yugoslav army did not dare to take it as a temptation. None of them. Mengjin suddenly made the connection between Shanxi and Luoyang precarious. Once Shanxi and Nanjing are continuously cut off, even if Zhao Yong's family is in Nanjing, I am afraid that the Shanxi soldiers will kill Zhao Yong and send the head to Beijing.

Jin Shengyu naturally knew the importance of doing so.

Ye Shen didn't have high requirements for him. But he was to himself

The demands are high.

He wants to take Luoyang City.

After receiving Ye Shen's order, he immediately organized the sailors to go south. And the Yugoslav army has long been prepared. The two sides had a very ancient water battle on the Yellow River.

Without him, neither side had too many ships. Cannons can't be loaded on ships. And the small cannon also does not have the ability to sink ships.

Both sides could only fire with artillery fire and wait until they got closer. The two sides jumped to the gang again, and fought with long knives.

For a time, the Mengjin River section was full of blood.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties.

After all, for Jin Shengyu, he has a little more ability to withstand casualties.

Not because of anything else. It's because it's not his descendants who are fighting.

The 12th Army organized and trained by He Xi, plus the 13th Army in the northwest, are all field armies, and their task has always been field warfare, and now there are still storms, and they have never been allowed to fight water wars. Letting these armies go to water warfare is essentially a waste.

And Beijing has occupied the north bank of the Yellow River for several years. Naturally, you can reorganize several guards on the north bank of the Yellow River and let them fight.

As for the level of water warfare. Anyway, these people are not experts in water warfare.

The salaries of these people are not the salaries of the regular army. But for these guards, it was enough.

Therefore, how many people died, Jin Shengyu's feelings were not deep.

Fortunately, after several days of fierce fighting, the southern army could not hold on.

After all, the Northern Army had abundant supplies, and many of the generals were drawn from the naval divisions. These people did not adapt to the Yellow River at first, but after a long time, they adapted. Moreover, there are not many professionals among the naval divisions of the Southern Army.

It is not that Nanjing is devoid of water war talents. But these talents are all doing one thing, resisting the naval division of the Northern Army in the southeast and regaining control of the mouth of the Yangtze River, where can anyone be deployed.

In addition, Beijing has deep pockets. That's the most important thing.

Because of this war, Huaiqing Mansion established several shipyards, after all, it was too troublesome to transfer from behind. Ships were built on the ground to bring the main parts from the rear. These small boats between rivers are not difficult in the first place.

Even after the war, Huaiqing Mansion was grateful for this great battle. Because of the needs of the war, many industries were established in Huaiqing Province, consciously or unconsciously. And after the war, although all these industries that had sprung up as a result of the war withered. But the craftsmen who participated in these constructions did not leave.

It's about building a local industry. Because Huaiqing Mansion has a lot of local minerals, it gradually developed, and for a long time, it became a strong government in Henan.

Of course, that's for later.

In such a situation, how could the naval division of the Southern Army win.

Sheng Yong is also a good woman, and it is difficult to cook without rice.

It is impossible for him to become Zhou Yu. One night, the Northern Army Navy sent a death squad to rush into the port of Mengjin at night, and a fire destroyed many ships, although not all the ships in Nanjing. But everyone knew that the southern army could no longer stop the northern army from moving south.

The news quickly reached the ears of Sheng Yong and Fu Youde.

------

Fu Youde and Sheng Yong sat opposite each other.

Sheng Yong smiled bitterly and said, "How is it good now?"

Ye Shen was too calm.

A new pontoon bridge was built at the eastern foot of Guangwu Mountain, that is, more than ten miles east of the Guangwu Mountain battlefield. No, it should be said that it is a group of pontoon bridges. Then the army crossed the Yellow River in a mighty way. Set up camp on the south bank of the Yellow River.

It stands to reason that if it goes so well, shouldn't it be a big south?

But Ye Shen didn't do it.

He let out a large number of cavalry scouts.

These cavalry ran everywhere, and some even ran to Kaifeng City.

Fu Youde had to send the only remaining cavalry in his hands to scatter it out and block the cavalry on the opposite side. Otherwise, in many prefectures and counties in Henan, people's hearts will fluctuate. A lot of things are hard to say.

But do it.

In fact, he was also telling Ye Shen that there was a problem here.

What the problem, I don't know, but the appearance of such a large-scale cavalry is unusual.

This situation is passive at one step and passive everywhere. Guangwushan gave it to the other party, and did not catch the big fish on the opposite side.

Sheng Yong has no regrets about this matter. Without him, now the war is becoming more and more urgent, and Nanjing urgently needs a big victory, and in this situation, even if he sticks to Guangwu Mountain, Mengjin will not have a problem?

Naturally not.

It's just that the situation has come to this point step by step, and the possibility of trying to win in danger and turn the tide is getting lower and lower.
