Chapter 2521 South
Gu Taixian's suicide directly caused the Tongmenghui to collapse. Although many remaining generals were dissatisfied, they were unable to make up for the situation, especially Gu Taixian's troops on the Eastern Front. After hearing that after the commander-in-chief died, many grassroots troops chose to surrender.
When the gate of Qufu City was opened, most of the generals of the Tongmenghui chose to surrender. Only those with more extreme and tough personalities also chose to commit suicide after they knew they would die, using this method to ensure that the family members were not cleaned.
The rebellion in the eight districts was completely quelled, but Qin Yu was not excited because of his power to lean towards his father-in-law. Instead, he was still anxious about the battle situation at Beifengkou. His most iron ally Wu Tianyin was struggling to support him.
That night.
Qin Gulin's Corps held a meeting in Qufu and quickly formulated the next combat plan.
All the troops in the Northeast War Zone of Sichuan Prefecture, led by Wang Henan, immediately supported Beifengkou.
at the same time.
The main force of the Forest Group in the Eight Districts quickly drew 80,000 troops from the original Eastern Front battlefield and Xinyang direction to move south to prepare to support the Li battle and attack the Chen Group.
These are almost all the troops that Lin Yaozong could mobilize, because there are still a large number of Tongmenghui prisoners in Qufu, Xinyang and other areas that need to be taken care of. These people did not dare to use them, so they could only be detained. After the war, they would slowly sort out and send new military chiefs to do political work, so that they could slowly evolve into their own troops.
On the other end, Huo Zhenghua, Yang Liandong, and other neutral officers were also sent to the south battlefield. In addition to the combat reduction, the troops were about 40,000.
As a result, the 120,000-department eight troops, as well as the 60,000-strong army of the War Department, formed a massive coalition against Chen, and continued to advance southward, preparing to smash the Chen family's dream of trying to fight.
At this moment, the coalition forces with Qin Yu as the link showed their due strength. Lin, Sichuan Prefecture, Jiu District, Beifengkou, and Gu Yan's Northwest Advance Army were far higher than Chen and Zhou dynasties in terms of cohesion and military follow-up power.
If the Tongmenghui hadn't rebelled in the eighth district, the battle of unification might have ended long ago, because almost all the leaders of the coalition forces had close emotional or family ties with Qin Yu himself. To be honest, they were also the inheritors of rights, and the possibility of subordinate troops rebellion was too small. Therefore, after the Tongmenghui was defeated, the coalition forces had already revealed the atmosphere of the King's Division.
This is also the reason why Chen Jun, who is more rational in politics, did not rebel with the Chen clan, because he believed from his heart that after the unification of the Nine Districts, Qin Yu made Li Zhan the commander of the First War Zone and became a relative of Zheng Kai, the Sichuan Mansion had completely risen and was unstoppable.
...
After the army headed south.
The only way out for the Chen faction is to join forces with Zhou Xingli to defend the seventh district, because the Tongmenghui has completely evaporated, and they have lost the alliance in the mainland and are already in a state of being alone.
As for Zhou Xingli, although he has a lot of army troops, most of them are family corpses that have been incorporated, such as Feng, Sha, and some armed forces in the planning area.
These troops each have their own ideas and are not so easy to be fully commanded. In addition, there is less territory in the peripheral system, which means that their subsequent replenishment of troops is a big problem, and the military industry cannot bear the long-term war consumption.
Therefore, even if Zhou Xingli and Chen Zhongren are not in the process, they will have to be forced to send troops to protect the safety of Nanhu. Otherwise, once Chen Zhongren falls, they will be in danger.
Based on the above reasons, after learning that Gu Taixian committed suicide, Zhou Xingli immediately adjusted his combat ideas and asked the main force of Zhou in Luhuai headquarters and the main force of Xu near Jiujiang to all rush to Nanhucheng.
Under Chen Zhongqi's connection, the Chen faction also responded to the Zhou faction's deployment. They originally went to support the main force of the Tongmenghui. Before the Lin faction and Huo Zhenghua and other coalition forces arrived on the battlefield, they had already retreated to the direction of the seventh district, and set up a formation outside Jiujiang City to prepare to take over the enemy.
At this moment, Chen and Zhou garrisoned nearly 200,000 troops near Jiujiang, which looked quite loud. Moreover, they were far away from the main battlefield before and were consumed very little.
At this time, in order to avoid being blocked by the opponent's closing, Chen Jun's main force retreated to the south side of Nanhu and prepared to defend on one side.
...
Two days later.
Qin Yu received the latest battle report from Beifengkou. Although the reinforcements from the Ninth District and Xiang Zehao's return to defense have arrived, the marching speed of the two sides is different, so he dare not enter the main battlefield rashly, otherwise it would become a tactic of adding fuel to the opponent. Because the opponent has 150,000 main troops advancing in groups, and if you divide the troops into the blocking force, it will be easy to be pushed and broken in a short time.
In desperation, the Wu faction, which suffered heavy losses, had to retreat on a large scale, reintegrate with the reinforcements from the rear, and prepare for a counterattack.
When Qin Yu arrived in Jiangzhou, he felt depressed to a very low point after seeing the battle report from Beifengkou and the suicide note written by Wu Tianyin.
Indoor of the war room.
Lin Cheng said bluntly: "It is obvious that the Chen faction still has fantasies about victory! They feel that it is no problem for them to join forces with the Zhou faction to hold on to the seventh district, so the situation we are facing now is that if we cannot push into the seventh district, we will not be able to fully support Beifengkou. The troops are pulled by several lines, and our advantages cannot be reflected!"
Qin Yu suddenly stood up, looked at the battle map, and said with a clear idea: "Damn it!! When things come to this, Zhou Xingli wants to jump out and be the savior of the Chen clan! Then I will fulfill his wish! Don't he want to protect the Chen clan? Then we won't fight the Chen clan, so we will do our best to fight Lao Zhou! I don't believe it. Chen Zhou has been fighting for so many years, and he is willing to die for each other in such a short time!"
Huo Zhenghua stood up after hearing the sound: "This idea is interesting!"
"The large army will attack Jiujiang at night! I will kill Xu Hancheng!" Qin Yu pointed to the map and said, "Order Qi Lin's troops in Lu District to advance with all their strength and attack Li Bokang's troops! Two lines must hurt me in a short time! Put all the firepower that was originally planned to be placed on the Chen family and put all the Zhou family on him! CNM, doesn't he like to reach out? I'll shoot him up first!"
"yes!"
The generals stood up and saluted.
That night, the War Department and Lin Cheng's troops sent troops from Jiangzhou and arrived straight to Jiujiang.
At the same time, Qi Lin's troops, which were originally unmoved, began to attack Li Bokang's defending area!
