Too many things have happened in the past few days, and the entire human world is in chaos. If the heaven does not take action, the human world will play itself to death. A good Spring Festival will not be able to live in peace.
Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and all the marching generals who secretly returned to Beijing to perform their duties will secretly return to their bases under the protection of the monks of the Royal Academy of Cultivation.
At dawn, Zhao Zian changed into casual clothes, knocked on his father's door, and said goodbye to him.
When the door opened, Zhao Xianfeng seemed to have lost his former energy, his hair was white, and his energy was a little listless.
As a family of military generals who have guarded Niangziguan for generations, Zhao Xianfeng's room decoration style is very rough.
The bedroom is like a huge war room, with a huge sand table, several huge maps hanging on the shelves, and two rows of weapon shelves in the room.
There are more than ten swords alone.
There are at least thirty or forty kinds of weapons in total.
There is a set of armor on both sides of the desk supported by wooden frames. One is a bright armor with strong defense, and the other is a heavy cavalry black iron armor.
Zhao Zian came in to greet Mr. Zhao. Seeing that his father was not in good spirits, he said worriedly: "Father, you don't look good. There are children guarding the border. You don't need to worry."
Zhao Xianfeng looked at his most outstanding son and sighed softly.
He said: "Zi'an, you have been back to the capital for three days, and you have spent most of the time in the palace discussing military affairs with His Majesty and His Royal Highness. You have to leave just after you return to the palace. You are really reluctant to leave as a father."
Zhao Zian said: "Zi'an also wants to stay in the mansion for a longer time, but now the border wars are changing three times a day, and the heavenly army outside Yumen Pass has begun to knock on the gate again. Zian is the commander-in-chief of the town, and he should take advantage of the country.
The country is the most important thing, and when the son is safe and defeats the powerful enemies, he will come to serve his father."
Zhao Xianfeng was born in the army, so he naturally knew the responsibilities of a soldier.
This time Zhao Zian left, and it would be difficult to come back.
When spring comes and the ice and snow melt, the three armies of Heaven will surely attack various border fortresses frantically.
Yumen Pass is the place of faith for the entire world, and its importance among the people far exceeds Niangzi Pass and Shanhaiguan Pass.
It will definitely be where the main attack from Heaven is.
Perhaps this was the last time the father and son met.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xianfeng sighed softly again.
Zhao Zian is not the kind of person who mourns the spring and autumn. Although he also knows in his heart that after he passes away, he is afraid that he will never have the chance to see his father again in this life.
But he couldn't show any cowardice.
He must be strong.
Seeing his father sigh, Zhao Zian said: "Father, Zian will return to Yumen Pass later. Is there anything I want to explain to you?"
Zhao Xianfeng said: "Yumen Pass relies on Motian Cliff and Motian Ridge, and its defense is much higher than that of Yingzui Cliff. Now that there are black fire weapons, it will not be easy for the heavenly army to break through Yumen Pass.
If nothing happens, it will not be a problem to stick to it for a year and a half."
Zhao Zian nodded and said, "What my father said is true. Although Phantom is like a god with his troops, military tactics and tactics are of little use in this kind of attack. Yumen Pass is the most majestic pass in the world, and Zian is confident that it will not be broken for three years.
However, it is difficult to say about Niangziguan and Shanhaiguan.
Especially Niangzi Pass, during the great war a year ago, the land of Yanyun and several states fell into the hands of heaven, and millions of armored soldiers died outside the Great Wall Pass.
Now that the military strength of Niangzi Pass is quite weak, Your Majesty has ordered me to dispatch six million soldiers from Yumen Pass to assist Niangzi Pass.
Hey, what I'm worried about is that even if six million soldiers are transferred from Yumen Pass, Niangzi Pass won't be able to hold on for long.
Once Niangziguan is breached, the rear of the Shanhaiguan defense line will be severely threatened and will inevitably collapse.
In the future, we must still be prepared for a protracted war in the interior of Middle-earth.
But it’s strange. I saw a defense-in-depth map in the palace. His Majesty placed all his forces south of the Huangyan River and built a defense line along the Xuzhou line south of the Huangyan River. He also built a defense line in the capital, Hebei, and Jinzhong north of the Huangyan River.
Lu Di, and even the Central Plains, did not have a decent line of defense.
The original plan to build three deep defense lines in the Taihang Mountains was also shelved. Instead, once the capital fell, all Hebei's armies would move into the nearby mountains to engage in guerrilla warfare, or rely on favorable terrain for mobile warfare.
Father, you have been in the capital, but do you know why His Majesty suddenly changed the battle plan?"
Zhao Xianfeng's expression suddenly became a little stiff.
Zhao Zian noticed something strange about his father and said, "Father, is there something unspeakable?"
Zhao Xianfeng hesitated for a moment, then stood up, took out a map, and asked Zhao Zian to open it.
Zhao Zian thought it was a battle map, but when he opened it, he discovered that it was a geographical map of mountains and rivers.
However, Zhao Zian was the commander of an army of tens of millions, and he quickly discovered that this map was not simple.
The two locations of Huayuankou and Huanghukou in the Yingzhou section of the Huangyan River are marked with red marks.
There are also red marks on the Haozhou section of the Huaihe River.
All markers appear in rivers with fast currents.
Zhao Zian had a bad feeling in his heart.
Said: "Father, what is this?"
Zhao Xianfeng said: "This is the battle plan for the second half of this year."
"The battle plan for the second half of the year?
Zi'an is stupid, please ask your father to clarify."
Zhao Xianfeng said hoarsely: "Niangziguan and Shanhaiguan cannot be defended. Now we have begun to move the capital. We will implement the system of one country and two monarchs. His Majesty will be in charge of the capital. His Royal Highness will be established in Jinling as soon as next month."
Southern court.
Once the north is lost, the southern court led by His Royal Highness will immediately take over the human war."
Zhao Zian said: "His Highness has already told me about this matter. What does it have to do with this map?"
Zhao Xianfeng said: "Can't you see?"
Zhao Zi'an was shocked.
Of course he saw it.
He said hoarsely: "Your Majesty wants to dig out the Huayuankou and Huanghukou of the Yingzhou section of the Huangyan River?"
Zhao Xianfeng said: "It's not your Majesty. Your Majesty is an eternal wise king. He will never bear this eternal infamy. This matter is left to my father.
Once the heavenly army approaches the Huangyan River, my father will use black gunpowder to blast open the Huayuankou and Huanghukou, forming a thousands-mile yellow flood zone in the lower reaches of the Huangyan River to prevent the heavenly army from moving south.
It will take at least several months for the Yellow Flood Area to retreat. If the war can be delayed until winter, the Celestial Army is not good at fighting in winter. If they want to cross the river and go south, they will have to wait until next spring.
The army of the South Road concentrated on the Xuzhou front line. Once they reached the city, they dug open the Yangtze River so that the water from the Yangtze River could be poured into the Huaihe River through the Grand Canal. When the water level of the Huaihe River reached the critical point, the Wuhekou of the Haozhou section of the Huaihe River was dug to form the Jianghuai Yellow Flood Area.
This is used to delay the plan of the heavenly army to sweep into Middle-earth."
Zhao Zian was stunned.
This is the real tactic of annihilating descendants.
The two yellow flood zones in the north and south are the Central Plains, the most fertile land, the richest products, and the most densely populated areas in the world.
Once the river embankments are excavated, tens of millions of people in the Huanghuai area and the middle and lower reaches of the Huangyan River will be in disaster.
