Lord of the House

(asking for a red ticket)

The river bank agreed on a countermeasure. Ye Jiluorong, Zhou Fan and Tian Chang had a good mind, and rode their horses back to the tent. More than a dozen orders were sent from Kuaichi to all parts of Jingxiang, and the following generals were also called together to inform current situation.

Although the situation on the east bank of the Han River was irreversible, Chen Zhihu led his troops into Nanyang, and Dong Yuan in Huaixi had dissent towards Huaidong, so that the situation on the west bank of the Han River did not seem to be at its worst: at least the Huaidong Army The main force is still some time away from entering the west bank of the Han River, and there is no immediate danger of overturning the top, and the passage from Jingzhou to Xiangyang and from Xiangyang to Wuguan is still smooth - Ye Ji Luorong, Zhou Fan, Tian Chang, etc. The general was calm and calm, and he also asked the generals below to feel more at ease.

This is also where the west bank of Hanshui is stronger than the east bank: on the east bank, Shewenzhuang is only the commander-in-chief in name, and even Yang Xiong’s subordinates may not obey all his orders, not to mention Sun Jichang, Zhong Rong, Ma Dekui, Sun Jichang, Meng Anchan and other foreign generals were taken; and the troops on the west bank were either the elites of Ye Jiluorong's headquarters, or Zhou Fan and Tian Chang's direct descendants, and Ye Jiluorong personally sat in Jingzhou, and the command system was orderly. , as long as Zhou Fan, Tian Chang and Ye Jiluo are together, it is still possible to stabilize the military in a short period of time.

Even if Zhou Fan and Tian Chang were unwilling to obey Ye Jiluorong's military orders at this time, they could not escape faster than Ye Jiluorong, including Jingmen, Xiangyang, and Nanyang (Wuguan), etc., but they were still in Yejiluo Rong. Under the direct control of Ji Luorong's direct line of soldiers and horses, Zhou Fan and Tian Chang also understood in their hearts that if they wanted to escape and ascend to heaven, they must not be in chaos; they had no chance of surrendering to Huaidong.

He told Ye Jiluorong that even if Tian Chang, who was newly attached to the luxury family, was not so reliable, Zhou Fan could still be trusted. Ignore his orders.

Another, after the troops and horses on the east bank collapsed, most of the troops and horses left in the east line, including Luo Xiancheng's troops and the She family, were newly recruited miscellaneous soldiers; The real elites are concentrated on the western and northern lines.

Ye Jiluorong's headquarters had 40,000 elite cavalrymen, and Zhou Fan's army had nearly 40,000 new affiliated soldiers who were not badly damaged. Tian Chang and Han Li's two troops together had 26,000 troops before the attack on Jingzhou. At that time, there were still nearly 20,000 troops and horses still intact, and Chen Zhihu and Tu'an on the northern front still had more than 60,000 elite troops—if the food route was not cut off from Fancheng, and the troops on the western and northern fronts were concentrated, there would still be ten more troops. The 60,000 elite soldiers may not have the strength to compete with the main force of the Huaidong Army.

The northern retreat became the goal of suppressing all the troops and horses on the western front of Yanhu, but the premise of the northern retreat was to take Jingzhou.

The fall of Fancheng, the passage from the west of Xiangyang to the north of the Danjiang River is very narrow, and the 100,000 troops and horses on the west bank of the Han River should all be evacuated to Guanzhong. It is not something that can be done in three or five days. The scale landed from Jingzhou to cover their retreat.

At this time, the most terrible thing is to shake the military heart. Spread everything out, let the generals below see the hope of retreating to the north, and ask the generals below to realize that winning Jingzhou is the premise of retreating to the north, but it will not cause too much trouble. A lot of panic, but aroused Yu Yonglai, a middle-level general.

This itself is also the quality that an elite soldier should have when faced with a crisis and a dilemma. It is like a ferocious beast. Even if it falls into a trap, it will struggle violently and produce extremely strong destructive power.

Tian Chang knew that the luxury family was completely over, and it was impossible to rise again: Shewenzhuang still offered a legacy plan in Huangpi. The remnants who stay in northern Fujian may escape the blood cleaning; on the one hand, Shewenzhuang wants to dispel Ye Jiluorong's hatred for Sheyuan, Su Tingzhan and the Shicheng people who fled first, so that Sheyuan and Baxing tribesmen fled first. After escaping to the north, he was able to escape the **** cleansing of Beiyan—Tian Chang had to think about his future, not to mention the hatred he had accumulated with Huaidong before. Backtrack.

If Tian Chang wanted to dispel Ye Jiluorong's suspicions and fully integrate into the new Han army system, he could only do his best to attack Jingzhou; even if he had all his soldiers and horses under his command, Ye Jiluorong would see it. He worked hard and made great achievements, and he fled north with him.

Ye Jiluorong also had no intention of sacrificing Tian Chang and Zhou Fan's soldiers and horses to make them detached from morality, and deployed 10,000 elite cavalry along the north bank of the river. On the one hand, it was to prevent the passage to the south of the city. Entering the city; on the one hand, after Hu Wenmu withdrew from Jingzhou, he used the 10,000 elite cavalry at the rear...

Ye Jiluorong has also experienced many strong winds and heavy rains in his life. Of course, he knows the reason why he can't escape if he wants to escape alone. He must keep soldiers and horses he can trust in the rear, and also reduce the worries of Zhou Fan, Tian Chang and other generals.

****************

Hu Wenmu stood on the remnant wall of the inner city of Jingzhou, watching Yan Hu withdraw the troops and horses in the south of the city; although Yan Hu let out the passage to the south of the city to escape into the Yangtze River, the troops and horses assembled on the north side of the inner city were denser, and Hu Wenmu was full of heart. Bitterness: Do you stick to the last pawn, or take advantage of the situation to withdraw?

These two choices are extremely difficult for Hu Wenmu, he is unwilling to do it, but can there be a third choice?

At dusk, after Yan Hu withdrew the troops and horses that had blocked the south of the city, Hu Xuechang, under the cover of dozens of entourages, rushed into the remnant city of Jingzhou and joined his father Hu Wenmu. Obviously, Yan Hu would not care about the small groups of soldiers and horses landing in the city, but more soldiers and horses wanted to land. The depth of nearly ten miles from Jiang'an Pier to Nancheng would be a **** death zone. Yan Hu was deployed on the two flanks. Elite cavalry is by no means a decoration.

Seeing his father's skinny face, messy beard, and bloodshot eyes, as if his energy had been drained, Senior Hu was not excited about the imminent victory.

"The fighting spirit of the Hulu doesn't seem to be fading!" Hu Xuechang climbed the remnant wall and looked at the troops and horses of Yan and Hu who were in complete control of the remnant city to the north. Coming in, I can feel that the coming offensive will be like a storm.

"The trapped beasts are still fighting!" Hu Wenmu said softly, watching his eldest son come over. At this time, there was absolutely no joy in joining forces with victory. In front of them, there was a life-and-death test.

In order to capture Jingzhou City, the commander Ye Jiluorong gathered almost all the elite troops and horses in his hands to the periphery of Jingzhou. If they could be easily defeated, Ye Jiluorong and his elite Yanhu elites had made a name for themselves over the years. It's just a false name.

Of the 30,000 defenders, far more than half were killed or injured in the defending city, and those who were defeated when the outer city was breached, were divided and surrounded and forced to surrender to the enemy. At present, there are less than 8,000 people who have retreated to the inner city with Hu Wenmu. There are less than 6,000 people who stand up and fight the enemy with weapons. Even if he abandons Jingzhou City and withdraws to the river at this time, Hu Wenmu has nothing to lose, but things will never be as simple as they seem.

"When will the Huaidong reinforcements arrive?" Hu Wenmu asked softly.

"Even if there are reinforcements, it will be after four or five days at the earliest," said Senior Hu.

To tear apart the blockade of the Yanhu troops and horses on the river bank and enter the city of Jingzhou, it is not enough for the 10,000 weak soldiers of the Jinghu Army on the south bank. It may be divided into troops to aid Jingzhou. After all, whether the overall strategy in Huaidong can hold Jingzhou or not has no decisive effect on the entire battle situation.

Even if Lin Fu would consider sending reinforcements to Jingzhou when the overall situation of the eastern front line has been decided, but from the east of Huangpi against the water and going up the waterway for four or five hundred miles, the northwest wind is strong after winter, how can it take four or five days. In fact, Hu Xuechang did not see any sign of Lin Fu directly sending reinforcements to Jingzhou in Jiangxia.

Hu Wenmu looked at the generals around him. After four or five days, how many people will survive?

It's not that Hu Wenmu was afraid that he would catch Lin Fu's pigtails later because of the abandonment of the city. He was not reconciled - victory was at his fingertips, who would be willing to be helpless with the final victory!

"Can Zuo Xiang have something to say to you?" Hu Wenmu asked softly, his voice so soft that he could hardly hear it himself.

"Xiang Zuo didn't say anything else, just asked Zuo Lian to take a note to the child..." Senior Hu said, and took out from his arms the note that Zuo Chengmu asked his son to hand to him in person.

The memo was crumpled, and I asked Senior Hu to keep it for two days.

Two days ago, Mr. Hu was in Jiangxia, and Zuo Chengmu sent his son Zuo Lian from Huangpi to cross the river to see Mr. Hu; Mr. Hu rushed from Jiangxia to the south bank of Jingzhou, and finally had the opportunity to cross the river and enter Jingzhou City today. Give it to Hu Wenmu.

There are only a few numbers in the memo: it is better to learn from Zhang Han.

Hu Wenmu sighed, sighing too much unwillingness and reluctance.

Of course, Senior Hu knew what Zuo Chengmu meant by these few numbers, and watched his father make a decision nervously.

Hu Wenmu sighed again and looked at the armored generals by his side: "Old man stay in the rear of the palace, you all prepare, after nightfall, you and the senior will retreat to the river first, be careful, don't let the horse lose its forefoot..."

"Your Excellency!" All the generals on the left and right were unwilling, and persuaded ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ that the great victory should be ahead of us, and we should not give up halfway! "

"We didn't give up halfway, the generals guarded Jingzhou with me, restrained the main force of the Hulu for 20 days, created favorable conditions for the privy envoy to destroy the main force of the enemy's eastern line on the east bank of the Han River; these are all the generals fighting. Come, you will be able to share the glory of Jingxiang's victory," Hu Wenmu said in a loud voice, "Right now, there is no need to fight with these beasts and increase casualties."

Hu Xuechang turned to look at the deepening twilight of the sky, restraining the urge to cry, maybe this will make everyone happy:

If the Hu family was unwilling to give up their power after the war, then giving up Jingzhou at this time would be a stain on Huaidong’s attack, and the victory of Jingxiang’s victory would naturally have nothing to do with the generals of the Jinghu Army, but they would have to worry about giving up. Huaidong liquidation.

If the Hu family followed the general trend after the war and were willing to give up the power in their hands and give up their efforts to separate Jinghu, it would mean that the Jinghu army had held Jingzhou for so long, and it had successfully attracted the main force of the Yanhu Western Front and replaced the main force of the Huaidong Army. The annihilation of the enemy on the eastern front created favorable conditions; after completing the campaign objective, Jingzhou City was temporarily abandoned, just to avoid unnecessary casualties; not to mention that the defenders have suffered more than 20,000 casualties in the past few days, and they have also wiped out the soldiers and the enemy. There are as many as thirty or forty thousand soldiers...

As for the civilians in Jingzhou City, when the outer city of Jingzhou was breached, there were already heavy casualties, and the gains and losses of the inner city had nothing to do with civilians.

History is always written by the victors.

Zuo Chengmu's memo has few numbers, which is what it means.

Even if the Jinghu Army was disabled like this, Hu Wenmu made up his mind to let go of the power of the separatist region, but he still felt strongly unwilling.

The Jingzhou remnant army intends to withdraw, and Tian Chang will naturally not take the risk of attacking again - after all, adding another wounded soldier will make it more difficult to withdraw to the north. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
