Chapter 452: Sea Clan Invasion
"General, the front is Yizhou, but I heard that the rebels are strong, are we waiting here?" A cavalry of more than 3,000 people galloped on the vast land of Yizhou, and in front of these 3,000 people was a young general, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, wearing a fiery red cloak, leading the army to quickly intersperse between the mountains and mountains of Yizhou.
"No, we are very short on time, now the local garrison in Yizhou will not fight us, we must quickly pass through Yizhou to reach Jizhou. The young general frowned and looked at the city in the distance, where the outline was already faintly visible. Suddenly, something that shouldn't have appeared in Jizhou made Liu Fan once again divide the few elites in his hands and hand them over to the two generals, who will be responsible for interspersing Yizhou to Jizhou to take down the thing that shouldn't appear.
The adjutant general followed beside him and did not speak, he knew his general's skills, if it weren't for the elusive military movement of his own generals along the way, their army that went deep into the hinterland would have been annihilated long ago. Compared with the army of Liu Renliang led by Zheng He, who took the sea route, the land route was the real main force of Liu Fan's battle this time.
And the leader of this army is Guo Ziyi, the pillar of the late Tang Dynasty who has just been summoned for a long time, like Liu Renliang. Guo Ziyi's appearance made Liu Fan's subordinates have another handsome talent, Liu Fan, who was feeling inadequate for his hands, was excited for many days, no one knew Guo Ziyi's skills better than him, An Lushan's strength was so strong, he was still strangled to death. Therefore, as soon as the relics of the previous dynasty appeared in Jizhou, Liu Fan urgently mobilized Zheng He to take the newly formed navy to Yizhou from the front of the navy with the help of Liu Renliang. Capture the port of Yizhou. And Guo Ziyi rushed to Jizhou by land with 3,000 elites.
"Go around the city ahead. After walking for half a day, we will also arrive at Wushan Pass, as long as we pass Wushan Pass, we will enter Jizhou, let the brothers cheer up!" Guo Ziyi was also tired, but the excitement on his face could not be concealed no matter what, this task was originally supposed to be Xue Rengui, but in order to prevent the Praetorian Guard, Xue Rengui and Wang Jian had to stay in Yangzhou to sit in the town, although the war on the front line of Jian'an had stopped. But the Janissaries did not surrender.
Liu Fan has been preparing his army in Yangzhou for the past few days, while Su Qin is running back and forth between the camp of the Praetorian Guard and the camp of the Liu family. The encirclement of Jianye City has been withdrawn, and even the Empress Dowager He has personally come forward to persuade Pan Bao's Praetorian Guards to surrender, but there has been no progress. The information of the quicksand in the dark night continued to gather in Jianye City, and more and more unfavorable information continued to be transmitted back to Yangzhou, which made the already overstretched Liu Jiajun feel even more heavy pressure.
"Lord, the current form is not so bad that we can't accept it, the information that Quicksand in the dark night just sent is that General Chen Qingzhi's army has appeared near Luoyang City, I'm afraid this time Zhang Rang has no way to attack us with all his might. Our difficulty now is to guard against the assassination of those charlatans. Guo Jia looked at Liu Fan, who was sitting at the top, and said comfortingly, although the Liu family army had no war. But as soon as the fighting stopped, Liu Jiajun found that his losses were so staggering. Almost all the troops with combat power lost more than the average, and the Liuxia soldiers who were used as sharp knives lost more than three-quarters, so that the two families suffered a heavy blow.
"I'm also worried about this, Chen Qingzhi only has 3,000 men and horses in his hands, and there are at least more than 100,000 troops near Luoyang, if they occupy Luoyang City, I'm afraid there will be no chance of survival. "Since Chen Qingzhi's army disappeared, Liu Fan has been troubled, the Longshou Pass has not been cut off, but the garrison Liliang is getting stronger and stronger, with the existence of the Longshou Pass, even if the Praetorian Guard does not have the strength to fight, it can retreat with its whole body, which is seriously inconsistent with Liu Fan's battle.
"Lord, I think that the lord doesn't need to be careful about General Chen, since he can bring the army to the vicinity of Luoyang, then he must have a detailed jihua. If General Chen really occupied Luoyang City, it should be Zhang Rang's army who was unlucky. "Wang Jian and Xue Rengui are both handsome talents, the intelligence transmitted from the quicksand in the dark night, both of them noticed Chen Qingzhi's strategy, and couldn't help but be amazed by Chen Qingzhi's strategic thinking, and what made them even more amazing was that Chen Qingzhi's every elusive battle jihua was always able to find the enemy's weak point, just hit the enemy's seven inches, and defeat the powerful enemy.
Just when everyone was about to discuss when it was time, Fang Yuan, a pro-general who was suddenly standing outside the camp patrolling, hurriedly walked in, and beside him was a herald wearing the uniform of the Imperial Navy, this herald was obviously not from the Liu family's army. The herald's face was pale, his legs kept shaking, Fang Yuan's face was also extremely abnormal, and before Liu Fan could speak, the herald suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Lord Liu, save us Yizhou. The herald tried to keep himself awake, but he was so tired that he had fainted by the time he said this. Fang Yuan hurriedly handed over the information in his hand.
"What kind of sea clan invasion? Yizhou Navy is completely wiped out?!" Liu Fan shouted, how could this be, the Yizhou Navy is the essence of the entire Imperial Navy, how could they fail. The Sea Clan simply did not have the strength to defeat the Yizhou Navy, but unfortunately now the Yizhou Navy was not only defeated, but also completely annihilated.
"Yes, my lord. The herald had just told the general. Yizhou's civil and military marquis was greedy for merit, less than 100,000 of the more than 1 million naval officers and soldiers survived, and almost all of the rest died in the sea. The Sea Clan has reoccupied Boulder Island, their vanguard has captured Nan'an City, and Chengdu has been surrounded. Fang Yuan's face was extremely abnormal, none of the officers and soldiers of the empire knew better than them the importance of Yizhou's navy in fighting against the Sea Clan, the total annihilation of the navy brought not only the loss of the legion, but also the initiative of the war.
"The entire Yizhou is now under the attack of the Sea Clan, if the Sea Clan has occupied Nan'an City, counting the foot power of the commanders, the current Chengdu City may have fallen. Xue Rengui's brows suddenly furrowed, he was different from Wang Qian, a pure land general, he knew the importance of the navy, although he was not very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Sea Clan, but he was very aware of the strength of the Yizhou garrison, without the support of the Praetorian Guard, the fall of Yizhou was only a matter of time.
"Lord, urgent military report!" Before everyone had time to discuss countermeasures, suddenly a herald ran in and handed the information in his hand to Liu Fan, Liu Fan opened the information, and his face became very solemn.
"Guan Yu's battle report, Chaisang and Lujiang appeared in the army of the Sea Clan. Liu Fan put down the information in his hand, looked at everyone a little weakly, and said. (To be continued.) )
