Chapter 740: Logistics
Although Huan Wen defeated Xie Xuan on the water, it did not change the overall decline.
Hulin was still captured by Xie Xuan's footmen, and Huan Wen retreated to defend the beard.
Li Yue went down the river and easily rushed to the tiger forest.
From the tiger forest downward, there are patches of dock forts.
In the earliest days, it was also a dock fort, called Wet Whisker Dock.
In the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao wanted to avenge the revenge of Chibi that year, and raised an army of 400,000 to attack Wu.
In the eighteenth year of Jian'an, the fourth year of Cao Wei and the beginning of Huangchu, there were two battles of Weixukou, Cao Cao returned in vain, and Cao Ren was defeated.
The location of the construction of the city is extremely tricky, it is extremely difficult to break through the city from the north of the river, even if there are hundreds of thousands of enemies on the erection, the effect is not great, the water network around the city is dense, and there are many muddy tidal flats.
It is difficult to push the siege equipment up.
Li Yue continued to let Xie Xuan advance by land.
Most of the cities along the Jiangwu Fort surrendered, and a few of them resisted stubbornly, and they could not withstand the onslaught of the Beifu army.
After the surrender of Daliang, the combat effectiveness of this group seems to have been bonus, several small battles are remarkable, the soldiers are extremely brave, and they are not afraid of death when attacking the dock fort.
Tan Xuan, Mao Anzhi, Mao Husheng and others are also brave generals.
Li Yue treated him favorably to reassure him.
Along the way, there was basically no need for the Black Cloud Army to attack, and the army quickly advanced to Wuhu opposite the city.
Losing this city, Huan Wen on the opposite side was cut off from the back road.
The Huanwen army came out from the mustache to defend Wuhu, occupied the favorable terrain one step ahead, condescendingly, laid antlers, dug trenches, and guarded against cavalry attacks.
I have to say that the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is good, even in winter, it is as beautiful as a picture.
Mountains and rivers depend on each other, and the killing spirit of the two armies has not destroyed this beauty.
"What is this?" Li Yue looked at the mountains in the east, as if the long sword was stuck obliquely on the riverside, very imposing, Wuhu City was built under the mountain.
"Chicken Feather Mountain." Xie Xuan arched his hand.
Li Yue was stunned, this name seems to be a good omen, ironic Huan Wen's chicken feathers?
"Good name, good name...... Send someone up to persuade Huan Wen to surrender. Although he is an opponent, Li Yue does not have much hatred for Huan Wen, compared to the Jiangdong Shi clan, Huan Wen at least dared to really raise troops to the north and hit Yidi hard.
also ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and kicked Sima's family down.
It can be regarded as a generation of heroes.
More than 100 horsemen galloped up and shouted loudly at the Chu army behind the antlers, telling them to surrender.
The answer was a rain of arrows.
Li Yue didn't expect Huan Wen to surrender, but just took a situation and persuaded the other party to surrender, and by the way, he increased his morale.
With Huan Wen's position today, it is impossible to surrender.
"The last general is willing to be the vanguard and break through the enemy camp!" Xie Xuan arched his hand.
Li Yue did not answer, looking to the northeast, the enemy army was layered on top of each other, stretching all the way down from the hillside.
Maybe it was a small victory over Xie Xuan, the morale of the Chu army was acceptable, the scout rangers who came and went were majestic, and the Chu army in the camp was quite neat.
"What's going on in the east?" Li Yue asked.
Lu Qing said: "Haoqiang Army and Sea ...... The thieves were like a bamboo all the way, taking Wuxian, Jiyang, Biling and other places, and were besieging Qu'a. ”
Behind Qu A is Jiankang, and Stone City is one left and one right arch Wei Jiankang.
"Then wait a little longer." Li Yue said.
Looking at Huan Wen's posture, it is obvious that he is going to play with his life, Ji Mao Mountain is not easy to fight, the Chu army is condescending, with more bows and crossbows, and the boats and ships on the river are lined up, revealing the heavy crossbows of Senran, forming a cross cover with the ground camp.
Attacking the enemy's stronghold from anywhere will not escape the opponent's crossbows.
During the Three Kingdoms period, this kind of coordinated tactics of land and water had become more common.
Guan Yu's 30,000 Jingzhou troops advanced by land and water, and Cao's army, which relied on this tactic to overwhelm several times its troops, could not raise its head.
Decades later, Emperor Wu of Song's Moon Array was almost the same as the posture in front of him.
Jiangdong has always been known for all kinds of crossbow machines, and Fu Xiong and Fu Chang were all injured by the crossbow arrows of the Jin army.
In history, Huan Wen not only attacked Guanzhong, but also once hit Fang Tou and threatened Yecheng, but because of hesitation, it led to failure, but this could not extinguish Huan Wen's military talent.
The Chu army waited for work, and he came from afar to work, and if he was not careful, he would become Li Yue's chicken feathers.
The more this time comes, the more careful it should be.
You can win by fighting steadily, there is no need to play with Huan Wen and let the soldiers suffer more casualties.
As long as the pirates and the powerful alliance attack Jiankang, Huan Wen will be in a situation where the enemy is on his back and back, Jiankang is gone, how long can Huan Wen resist?
The army then set up camp on the spot and waited for the rear baggage to arrive at the front.
"Your Majesty, why don't you destroy it with ten thousand enemies?" Lu Qing asked afterwards.
Xie Xuan's army was frustrated, and the power of water control in the Yangtze River was in the hands of Huan Wen, Li Yue did not dare to transport it by water, so he transported it by land from Chaisang instead, and the progress was slow.
Moreover, the artillery has to be collected on the spot, which is more troublesome.
Even if Li Yue wants to use it, he will have to wait for the rear baggage to arrive.
Whether in ancient or modern warfare, logistical supply capabilities can determine the outcome of a war.
Especially in ancient times, a war, most of the time was on the march and the transportation of grain and grass, but the battle was a minority, and when a major war was launched, the outcome was often decided.
"It's a good idea, but we have to wait for 10,000 enemies to come up."
The courtiers admonished, but Li Yue still encouraged.
Li Yue did not move, but the Chu army on the opposite side was a little unable to hold back, and the navy went up the river and intercepted the Liang army's grain road.
However, on land, the Chu army will never be an opponent, and as soon as the cavalry of the Liang army came, the Chu army and the navy army suddenly fled.
Huan Wen's counterattack looked more like a struggle.
"Your Majesty, Qu'a has fallen, and the coalition army has come to Jiankang City!" Scouts came to report.
"Revisit."
"Yui." The scout turned his horse and galloped south.
This big war will soon come to a critical time.
Li Yue's heart became more and more calm, as long as he didn't give Huan Wen a chance to play with his life, he would be invincible.
Huan Wen failed to attack the grain road, and sent Xiao General to challenge.
All day long shouting and cursing in front of the barracks.
Li Yue could only send Zhang Hao and Liu Gaozhi to lead the army to meet the battle, and as soon as the gate opened, the other party turned around and ran, trying to lead the Liang army to the range of the riverside naval army.
Liang Jun accepted it when he saw it, knowing the power of the Chu army's crossbow arrows.
Only Zhang Oyster scolded Huan Wen for being a gallless rat.
"Your Majesty, Huan Wen seems to be retreating?" Xie Xuan had good eyesight, staring at the Chu army camp all day long, and was the first to find the clues.
Li Yue laughed: "It must be that Jiankang is in danger, and he has to retreat back to defense!" Order, the middle base army feints and drags Huan Wen! ”
At this time, Huan Wen must not be allowed to return to defense.
More than 700,000 enemy planes were assembled in front of the battle, and piles of artillery stones were transported by the people.
More 10,000 enemies were still on the way from the rear.
"Block the river first, drive away the naval army, and then bombard the enemy barracks!" Li Yue ordered.
During this period of time, he was harassed by the Chu army's navy.
Without them, Huan Wen's camp would not be able to stand in front of the Black Cloud Army at all.
