Chapter 5159 The navy divides its forces into left and right wings
To Yanzhi said solemnly: "I have no problem in achieving this, but I would like to ask Liu Pushe to think twice. At this time, is it appropriate to dedicate ten thousand troops to clean up Lingbei? Where is Leichi Zuoli?"
This is the main battlefield, and probably every soldier is needed."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "With these 10,000 troops, can you reach the left side of Leichi in seven days during the decisive battle? Your own troops only have 2,000 troops. How can you get the remaining 8,000 troops from Nankang?"
, where can I ship to places like Changsha?”
Dao Yanzhi was stunned at first, then laughed: "It turns out that we don't have enough transport ships to carry these eight thousand soldiers. Moreover, they are still distributed in various counties from Nankang to Changsha. It will take time to assemble them."
Well, it seems that I should attack Jingnan and break through the Five Ridges as you said. However, if I achieve this, can I continue to cross the Five Ridges and attack southward, taking Shixing first and then attacking
Where is Guangzhou City?”
Liu Muzhi frowned slightly and said: "Don't risk crossing the mountain to attack for the time being. After all, Guangzhou is the base where demon thieves have been running for a long time. Shixing is the stronghold that Xu Daofu has personally run for many years. The city has long been transformed into
According to intelligence, there are several tunnels more than ten miles long that lead directly to the barbarian tribes in the surrounding mountains. They can receive external assistance at any time. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are many machine-operated crossbows mounted on the top of the city.
, city defense tools such as trebuchets. Although the city is small, it is extremely strong. Taking this city may not be easier than attacking Guanggu. General, I think it is more appropriate to wait until the army returns in triumph before attacking together.
.”
Yanzhi touched his beard and said: "What Liu Pushe said is reasonable, but I was a little impulsive. However, if the army wins in Leichi and Zuoli, the demon thief may not be able to escape back to Shixing."
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "These are things for the future. We need to adapt accordingly. What the general has to do is to lead the local troops in Jingnan and Nankang to clear these areas first and make the area north of Wuling completely become a large area."
The territory of Jin is ready for the army to go south and regain Lingnan. Can you do this?"
Yanzhi said seriously: "The general will definitely complete it with all his strength. However, there is still a question, that is, if the demon thieves in Lingnan take the initiative to reinforce the towns in Jingnan such as Hengyang that have not yet been recovered, or even counterattack places like Nankang,
How should I deal with it?"
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "The soldiers will stop you, and the water will cover you. Most of your subordinates are local gangsters and powerful men from all over the country who have recently surrendered. If you want them to leave the country to fight and march hundreds of miles away, they are probably reluctant.
But if they want to protect their homes, properties, servants, and tenant farmers, they will unleash extremely powerful fighting power, and even women will fight with swords."
Zhu Chaoshi laughed and nodded: "I have personally witnessed this. During the battle across Changsha and Yueyang counties, this kind of thing happened many times. In order to protect their own interests, all men and women of the clan really
Young and old all went into battle, and even ten-year-old children went to the city to defend. However, as long as I presented the amnesty order and followed Liu Pushe's policy of retaining their local rights and interests and tax exemption for two years, these guys who were ready to die would be killed immediately.
We opened the city and surrendered to welcome the king's army, and the women who went up to the city used the kitchen knives in their hands to chop vegetables and kill pigs to prepare meals for the army."
Liu Muzhi nodded and said: "It is also for this reason that I don't think it is realistic to attack Lingnan. However, there is no problem in sweeping Jingnan and guarding our homeland. The demon thief does not rule out opening up the main force to rescue the main force in Leichi Zuoli.
There is a possibility of taking the initiative to attack because of the food route, but as a general, you don’t have to worry about these things, just defend your territory.”
With that said, Liu Muzhi picked up the command arrow and stretched it towards Yanzhi: "Come to the general and receive the order."
He bowed to Yanshang with a military salute, took the command arrow, and said in a deep voice: "General, I will definitely fulfill my mission. Within a month, I will definitely clean up all the demon and bandit counties north of Wuling and wait for the arrival of the army."
Liu Muzhi turned to look at Zhu Chaoshi and said: "General Zhu, you have just returned from Jingnan this time. It is said that you should have a good rest or move in the rear army. However, the whole army is concerned about the demon thief's behavior.
The main force of the division knows you best, and among all our generals, you are the strongest in water warfare. For this expedition, the general of the former army must be you. I want you to make another trip. Is that okay?"
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly and said: "This is exactly what I want. However, half of my legion is now staying in the Jingnan area. I only have 5,000 troops and 300 warships on hand. If I encounter the main force of the navy of the demon thieves,
A full-scale attack is coming, so maybe I have to stay away from the limelight for a while."
Liu Muzhi looked at Tan Daoji with a smile: "Daoji, how likely do you think this is?"
Tan Daoji pondered for a moment and said: "This possibility cannot be completely ruled out. Facing a flanking attack from both sides, if the demon thieves can use all their naval forces to defeat us all the way, it would be a good strategy. So Xiao Shitou should not move forward in a hurry, Duobu
Sentries should patrol the river banks on both sides, especially places such as Yedu and harbors. They must not fall into an ambush by demon thieves. In addition, Yu Yue of the Jiangzhou Legion cannot be completely trusted. His information may not be accurate.
It’s best to check it out yourself.”
Zhu Chaoshi smiled and said: "Then I'll wait for you to pick me up. With you behind me, I feel very at ease."
Tan Daoji curled up his lips: "I don't know what role I am playing yet, Liu Pushe, you should assign me tasks now."
The fat on Liu Muzhi's face jumped, he picked up another token, looked at Tan Shao on the side, and said: "A Shao, you lead your troops and ride on two hundred yellow dragon warships.
Shitou marches fifty miles, focusing on the left bank of the river, which is the left wing of the entire army. Be careful that there may be an ambush by monsters and thieves in the Jiangxia area."
Tan Shao smiled and stepped forward to take the token: "Leave the left wing to me. It just so happened that you gave me half of Jiangling's navy. Most of them are boatmen and fishermen in Jingzhou area. They are very familiar with the Jiangxia route.
Familiar. However, the right wing is close to the river bank in Jiangzhou and there are many harbors, so which general will take on this important task?"
Tan Daoji laughed: "That must be me. Each of us brothers is responsible for one wing, and Liu Pushe leads the central army. That's probably it."
Liu Muzhi waved his hand and looked at a general standing behind him on the right: "General Mao Dezu, please come forward and receive the order." (End of Chapter)
