Chapter 0292 - The Book of Battle
After receiving Sima Yue's will, Yu Bing immediately used the general's order to requisition all the boats of Jiankang and the fishermen in the nearby city, whether large or small, to use general combat ships.
At the same time, Yu Bing also sent 40,000 regular troops to patrol back and forth on and along the river, and tens of thousands of reservists, miscellaneous soldiers, people, and prisoners were conscripted and conscripted to do labor to build a defensive line on the bank of the river.
Hearing the news, Shi Min was overjoyed.
Fortunately, Shi Min listened to Qin Mu's advice and took the initiative to attack and launch a river-crossing operation, otherwise after the Jin army gathered, if he wanted to break through the Yangtze River defense line of the Jin Kingdom, he was afraid that it would be difficult to climb to the sky!
Of course, Shi Min planned to cross the river from the beginning.
"Pass the order! Concentrate all the warships and soldiers of our army and force them to cross the river! β
Since the establishment of the Zhao State, many wars have been waged against the Jin State, but the outbreak area is mostly in Huainan, Huainan area, located in the southeast, many water network plains, fierce battles in this area, for the Zhao and Jin countries are fair.
And Zhao Guo rarely hit the edge of the Yangtze River, let alone crossed the Yangtze River, and it is estimated that Shi Hu does not have this confidence.
Therefore, there are not many warships and sailors in Zhao State, don't look at Zhao State sitting on the land of ten states, rich land, tens of millions of people, and millions of people. The infantry and cavalry of the Zhao State were very strong, but the naval division was far inferior to the Jin State, which was in a remote corner of the south.
It's not that Zhao doesn't have generals who are good at water warfare, it's not that Zhao doesn't have enough resources to build strong warships, but that the northerners are always shorter than the southerners in terms of water nature. Out of ten northerners, it is not easy to find two or three people who can be water-based!
And the water nature of northerners is far inferior to that of southerners!
Shi Min had no choice but to be short and tall, and gathered 20,000 soldiers who knew how to take the warship and went straight to the Yangtze River.
Of course, although the soldiers are fast and Shi Min also wants to cross the Yangtze River as soon as possible and attack Jiankang, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, but time does not wait for me, so ordering the 20,000 Zhao troops to cross the river without knowing anything is tantamount to digging his own grave!
To this end, Shi Min personally led an army of 130,000 (plus follow-up troops) to the Yangtze River, across the Yangtze River, opposite the capital of the Jin State, Jiankang.
Jin army camp.
"Newspaperβ"
Yu Bing was discussing with the generals, and at this time, a junior colonel suddenly rushed in, as if he had something important to report.
"General, the Zhao army on the opposite side sent a messenger over!" New Bayi m.x81zw
"Bring people in."
Immediately, a middle-aged man dressed as a writer and wearing a mustache was brought into the Chinese army's tent.
"Contemptible Yan Liang, meet the general!" Yan Liang bowed, neither humble nor arrogant.
"I don't know what happened to the king of Wei in your country who sent me to my camp? Didn't you come here? Yu Bing stared at Yan Liang's eyes, and the cold was overwhelming.
"Haha, the general laughed." Yan Liang talked and laughed, "If you want to say surrender, it should be your country's surrender, not my Zhao army's surrender!" β
"You!"
"It's so bold enough!"
The generals of the Jin army in the big tent all glared at Yan Liang angrily, and they couldn't wait to eat Yan Liang, and even some of the short-tempered generals pulled out their swords!
Of course, Yan Liang turned a blind eye to this, and still maintained that posture of neither humility nor arrogance.
Yu Bing waved his hand, signaling the generals on the left and right to be calm, and then said, "Since Zuxia is not here to ask for surrender for the Zhao army, why did you come?" β
"General, how can you put the cart before the horse? At present, the army of my Great Zhao State has drunk the Yangtze River, and the capital of your country, Jiankang, is already close at hand. β
Yu Bing didn't seem to want to talk so much nonsense to Yan Liang, so he said bluntly: "It's useless to talk more!" Yan Liang, I would have admired your courage and went to my camp alone, you must have already had the heart of death! If you are here to persuade you to surrender, please go back and tell Shi Min that my Yu Bing will not surrender, my Jin army will not surrender, and our Great Jin Kingdom will not surrender to Qian Zhao! β
"The general is high and bright, I admire it below!"
Yan Liang took out a handwritten letter from his sleeve, held it in both hands and said, "Yan Liang came on order. This is the war letter written by the king of Wei to your army, and I would like to ask the general to take a look! β
Afternoon?
Yu Bing took this battle book, glanced at it, and his face suddenly became gloomy: "Come on, send Yan Liang back!" β
In the end, Yu Bing still didn't hurt Yan Liang's life.
Throughout the ages, the rule of war was that two armies would fight each other, and no one would be killed. Although it is said that the etiquette is bad in this era, it has never done anything to hurt the heavens and reason and disregard people's lives since Shi Min unified the army and conquered Huainan, so this is a war between Jin and Zhao, and Xinyi is still there.
Besides, killing a Yan Liang will not be beneficial to the Jin army at all, but will also ruin the reputation of the Jin Kingdom!
After Yan Liang returned to the Zhao army camp on the north bank of the Yangtze River, he went to the Chinese army's big tent to meet Shi Min and report the envoy's experience.
"The widow knows. Yan Liang, you've worked hard, let's go down and rest first. β
"The minister retired."
In the big tent, only Shi Min and Qin Mu sat opposite each other.
"Qin Mu, it seems that Yu Bing is planning to stand still." Shi Min said lightly.
"King, at present, all the Jin troops are continuously gathering towards Jiankang, in my opinion, it is better to consolidate the Yangtze River defense line, build barriers, and wait for all the Jin troops to assemble, and then go with the camera."
"Do you even think so?"
Shi Min shook his head and said: "The purpose of the widow's dispatch this time is to attack the main army of the Jin Kingdom, so that it will not dare to look north for a few years, but the passive defense is ultimately inferior!" β
Shi Min spread out his palm and said: "There are now hundreds of thousands of elite divisions in the hands of the widows, even if the Jin army is more than my Zhao army in terms of strength, the widows are not afraid, but once the war is stalemate, the final damage is still my great Zhao's national strength!" In this way, the idea of a few people wanting to enrich the country and strengthen the army within a few years came to an end. β
"It's not what the widow wants!"
"If the king wants to fight quickly, he must take the initiative!"
"How to be proactive?"
"King, now that we have a general understanding of the thoughts of the Jin people, they just want to stick to the help and will not take the initiative to attack. At this time, the king should gather all the soldiers who know how to cross the river to fight. β
Shi Min shook his head and said, "Crossing the river to fight? That's easier said than done. Tens of thousands of Jin troops patrolled everywhere on the river, as long as there was a war in one place, the rest of the Jin army would flock to it, and when the time came, it would be our Zhao army that would lose. β
"Since water warfare is not good, then there is only land warfare!"
"How to fight on land?" Shi Min frowned, puzzled.
Qin Mu smiled slightly, and then came up with a brilliant idea for Shi Min......
