Valley Emperor

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Ever since he learned that Wang Bianyi's cavalry failed to intercept and lost more than half, Zhang Yue already knew that Nanchang was dangerous!

Without the delay of the cavalry, the puppet thieves of the Tang Dynasty could quickly march to Nanchang City and launch an attack. The tens of thousands of infantry he sent back to Nanchang could not be rushed back in time. With the existing ten thousand guards in Nanchang City. Soldiers, it is basically impossible to stop the pseudo-Tang bandit army.

So Nanchang's fall, he had expected it two days ago!

But even though it was already expected by sight, he was still a little unacceptable after learning that Nanchang had fallen!

That is Nanchang!

Without Nanchang, the subsequent war in Jiangxi will be more passive. The pseudo-Tang thief army can even enter Poyang Lake directly through Nanchang, and then enter the Yangtze River.

But although he sighed, Zhang Yue did not give up his confidence. Although Nanchang fell, he still had a chance to annihilate the main force of the Second Army of the Puppet Tang Bandit Army under Fuzhou City.

As long as the Second Army of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty can be annihilated, even if Nanchang is lost, it will not be a big problem!

Because as long as the second army of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty is solved, the entire battle situation in Jiangxi will be revitalized!

In the follow-up, Zhang Yue can completely lead the army to counterattack Nanchang and retake Nanchang, and he can also counterattack Ji'an and even Ganzhou in the follow-up, and push the front to the northern Guangdong area again.

This is also the reason why he knew that Nanchang might be facing great danger, and still did not lead the main force to return to the rescue, but continued to pursue the second army of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty.

In his opinion, in this battle, the criteria for determining victory or defeat is not the gain or loss of Nanchang or one or two important cities, but more importantly, whether the Second Army of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty can be annihilated.

As long as the Second Army of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty is destroyed, then it is a victory!

Taking a step back, then it is impossible to destroy the second army of the pseudo-Tang under the city of Fuzhou, but he can also lead the main force to counterattack Nanchang in the future. Now there are only thousands of thieves of the pseudo-Tang in the city of Nanchang. Can't the counterattack of his 80,000 army be successful?

But the development of the situation was soon out of Zhang Yue's control!

Because when Zhang Yue learned the news of Nanchang's fall, Li Chunjing also learned the news later. After learning that the Fourth Mixed Regiment had captured Nanchang, Li Chunjing immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops from Fuzhou City.

Nanchang has already been captured, what is he still doing under the city of Fuzhou, waiting to die!

Besides, although his Second Army is the main force, it actually lacks part of the ability to attack fortifications. The first heavy artillery battalion, which is the core of the siege, has been transferred to the fourth mixed regiment, and even one of the fifth artillery regiment. The Field Artillery Battalion was also reinforced to the Fourth Mixed Regiment.

Therefore, for the current main force of the Second Army, the ability to attack fortifications has been greatly weakened, and it is difficult to conquer Fuzhou in just one or two days.

At the same time, Zhang Yue's main force is behind his butt. If he continues to stay in Fuzhou, Zhang Yue will be able to kill with an army of 100,000 in just two days.

At that time, it will be really attacked by the enemy, facing the danger of being pinched, and it will be difficult to leave.

Besides, Li Chunjing didn't plan to really take Fuzhou from the beginning, so after learning that the fourth mixed regiment's operation was successful, he quickly retreated with the Second Army without hesitation.

When Zhang Yue learned that the main force of the pseudo-Tang thieves had withdrawn from the city of Fuzhou, he was stunned for a while.

The pseudo-Tang bandit army will not attack Fuzhou anymore?

Continue to pursue the main force of the pseudo-Tang thief army?

But if the pursuit continues, what will happen to Nanchang?

Finally gritted his teeth, Zhang Yue chose to lead the army back to Nanchang!

But at this time, Zhang Yue vomited blood again. He was trying to return to Nanchang with his troops, but the pseudo-Tang thief army behind him ran back again, assuming a posture of attacking Fuzhou.

At this time, Zhang Yue really felt a dilemma, this is not going, and it is not going to go!

Because if the number of troops this time round is less, there is no possibility of counterattacking Nanchang at all, and it may even be bitten back.

In the face of Nanchang City, which was defended by 5,000 or 6,000 people, Zhang Yue judged that at least 20,000 people would be needed to counterattack, and these 20,000 people had to be the main force of the inspector or the frontier army, but in his main force, There were only 30,000 inspectors and frontier troops in total.

If there are fewer reinforcements sent back to Nanchang, the pseudo-Tang bandit army will come to attack Fuzhou again!

In the end, Zhang Yue simply gave up his plan to counterattack Nanchang, and instead went directly to Fuzhou. At the same time, he sent 3,000 frontier cavalry troops to continue stalking and harassing the main force of the Second Army of the Puppet Tang Bandit Army.

Zhang Yue did not return to help Nanchang, Li Chunjing simply went directly from Fuzhou City, and then withdrew to Fengcheng for garrison.

After Li Chunjing led the main force of the Second Army back to Fengcheng, it would be even more impossible for Zhang Yue's subordinates to counter-attack Nanchang. If they wanted to counter-attack Nanchang, they would have to face the possibility of being intercepted by the main force of the Second Army at any time. The danger of taking a step back and saying that Fuzhou may be destroyed again.

Now Nanchang is finished, but Fuzhou can't be lost anymore!

Now Zhang Yue's mind is not on counter-attacking Nanchang, or chasing and destroying the main force of the second army of the puppet Tang Dynasty. His mind is already on the defense of Fuzhou and the subsequent defense of Jiujiang.

He left a large number of troops in Fuzhou, and even left all the frontier troops, and then there were thousands of local recruits, and the superintendent also left 5,000 people, forming a total of 20,000 The main force of the people, in addition to about 40,000 guard soldiers, young men, and a large number of artillery.

Among the 20,000 main forces, there were also 3,000 frontier cavalry soldiers.

With 20,000 main forces, especially these 3,000 frontier cavalry troops, it would be quite difficult for the pseudo-Tang bandit army to conquer Fuzhou!

Immediately, he quickly retreated north with the remaining main force of the overseer and a few guards. Where did he go?

He took the army to retreat north from Poyang Lake, and then directly retreated to Nankang House, north of Nanchang.

Nanchang has been lost, which means that the navy of the pirate army of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty can enter Poyang Lake, and then it can enter the Yangtze River through Poyang Lake.

At this time, in addition to putting a nail firmly in Fuzhou, his next defense focus also needs to hold the entrance of Poyang Lake into and out of the Yangtze River, that is, Nankang House.

He must adjust the new line of defense in the shortest possible time to ensure that the entire line of defense will not completely collapse due to the loss of Nanchang.

Although Nanchang is over, but in fact the main force of Jiangxi's Ming army is lost, and it has also retained such an important strategic bridgehead as Fuzhou!

If the pseudo-Tang thief army dared to leave Nanchang and continue northward, the Ming army in Fuzhou could go west at any time, then cut off the supply line of the pseudo-Tang thief army, and besieged the pseudo-Tang thief army who went north alone in the northern area of ​​Jiangxi.

And this is actually why Li Chunjing led his army back to Fangfeng City, because Li Chunjing needed to maintain a large number of troops in this area to contain and threaten the main force of the Ming army in Fuzhou to ensure that they would not threaten Nanchang.

But what gave Zhang Yue a headache was that Nanchang was lost. How should he explain to the court?

Could it be that the fall of Nanchang was just a small accident?

But how to report to the imperial court is only a small headache for him. He has been supervising the six provinces in the south for two years, and he has not been idle in these two years. He has been building guns and training new troops.

Moreover, the trained superintendent is still Zhang Yue's private army. Although he said that Zhang Yue is still extremely loyal to the imperial court, he also believes that the princes and His Majesty in the imperial court can clearly see the difficulties of the current situation in the world. Will not do anything from destroying the Great Wall.

Yes, even Zhang Yue is still extremely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and he is extremely loyal to Emperor Zhengde who appreciates and reuses him, but this does not mean that he does not know how much energy he has. On the contrary, he is more than anyone else. All clear!

The 50,000 superintendents with complete guns and guns under his command, hundreds of thousands of guards and young soldiers, these are the factors that the court cannot ignore him!

Otherwise, at the beginning of the year, when someone in the imperial court impeached him for his self-respect for the army, Emperor Zhengde would not stay in the middle, and in the end he just gave Yu Dayou the power to act cheaply and use his sword to contain himself, but would directly dismiss him from office.

The current situation in the south is already tied to Zhang Yue, without his supervising standard, without him working so hard to maintain the southern defense line, the pseudo-Tang thieves would have already entered South Zhili~www.wuxiaspot.com ~And this, the princes in the court saw it very clearly!

This is also why the guns and guns made by the imperial court in the northern provinces were not transported to the west of Huguang and Jiangxi, but were equipped with the northern army on the spot.

Even the guns and guns made in the Jiangnan area such as Nanzhili did not actually flow into Zhang Yue's hands at all, but were equipped with the frontier troops sent from the south and the guards of Nanzhili.

As for the equipment of the Bandit Army to which Yu Dayou belongs, it was also made by Yu Dayou himself, and the other part was purchased from foreigners!

From the specific attitude of the Ming Dynasty in the past two years in military deployment, building guns and training new troops, it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty already had certain suspicions and precautions against Zhang Yue, but now Huguang and Jiangxi are Zhang Yue and his superintendent were inseparable, so he continued to endure it, and even continued to promote him.

After Zhang Yue forced back Hao Bainian's assault on Changsha in July this year, the Ming Dynasty gave him the title of Censor of Zuodu because of his merits in defending the ground.

You must know that in the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, the superintendent can usually only add the title of the censor of the right capital. Adding a censor of the left capital to him is a special gift.

But after reaching this point, as a feudal minister, Zhang Yue was actually unable to be promoted, and if he continued to be promoted, he would have to be a minister of various ministries or a cabinet.

However, with Zhang Yue's current power and status, if he is transferred to the capital to serve as a minister or even to the cabinet, he will inevitably have a superficial promotion. In fact, he will take the opportunity to seize power and military power. Whether the generals will agree or not is another matter.

This kind of thing can't be done at any time, a cup of wine and military power, if it is not good, it will become a yellow robe! Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
