Bei Yan transferred Ye Jiduo Dy to serve as a stay-at-home guard in Yanjing, which shows that the princes and ministers of Bei Yan had the intention of abandoning the capital and fleeing westward. However, at the same time, they appointed veteran Nahe Wugu to take over Ye Jiduo Dy's place in charge of the left-wing troops, which showed that Bei Yan
Before Yan abandoned the capital, he still hoped to give it a try and stop the Huaidong Army from advancing westward from Jinhai. ○:○Piaotian Literature Network○Net○
On both sides of the Wei River south of Yanjing, the troops on the left wing of Northern Yan gathered at this time the main force capable of guarding Yanjing City, including the 30,000 cavalry led by Ye Jiduo from Jinan to aid the north, and the 30,000 miscellaneous cavalry that were later pieced together.
Cavalry, a total of 60,000 cavalry.
After entering mid-May, Nahewugu transferred the main force of his left-wing troops to the Anxu area east of the Wei River, lying between Jinhai and Yanjing, intending to take advantage of the Huaidong Army's three-pronged approach to Yanjing.
, looking for every opportunity to defeat...
Faced with the latest situation, the Huaidong Army's already deployed wings were ordered to stop their westward advance, shrink their defenses on both sides of the Guoshui River and Chaobai River, and wait for fighters.
As for Jinhai City, which protects the two wings of soldiers and horses, a large number of troop transports and grain transport ships dock every day, with thousands of people and horses, tens of millions of stones of rice and grain, and tens of thousands of boxes of ammunition.
, weapons and equipment are constantly being supplied to Jinhai City, constantly reinforcing the troops and horses on the middle route that are about to attack Yanjing from between the Chaobai River and the Wushui River.
"On the battlefield, all those holding weapons are either brothers or enemies. Before they drop their weapons, lie down on the ground and hold their heads in surrender, we must resolutely eliminate them. We must not be lenient! Those bastards
, he looks small and inconspicuous, but he kills everyone with ruthlessness. Brother Zhenshi just suffered from being soft-handed, resulting in unnecessary casualties. Your heads, I have to clear up what is in front of you.
, regardless of whether you are male or female, old or young, as long as you pick up a weapon, you are an enemy. Don’t be afraid of anything going wrong. If something goes wrong, I will take care of it..."
Chen Zhi's loud voice could be heard clearly even across a row of wooden houses by Lin Fu and Gao Zongting, Zhou Pu, Song Shixing and others who had accompanied Lin Fu to Denghai Zhenshi's headquarters.
Lin Fu signaled to the guards that there was no need to report. He, Gao Zongting, Zhou Pu and others walked directly in. On the other side of the wooden barracks was a small school ground. Chen Zhi was summoning the generals above the Denghai Town Division Sentral to conduct pre-war mobilization.
More than 300 generals of sentry level and above sat on simple benches, filling the small school ground. In front of the school ground, a row of long tables was simply placed as the main stage, with Li Baidao, Liang Shou and other major generals sitting in the back.
.
Chen Zhi stood there lecturing and banged the long table. When the generals on the campus saw Lin Fu and others passing through the barracks, they stood up and saluted. Lin Fu motioned for everyone to sit down and walked to the generals' platform.
After that, he said: "Our army has a good tradition of not disturbing civilians and not killing women and children indiscriminately. This must be resolutely maintained. Although the military headquarters has sent a large number of military discipline officers, I believe that all generals of our army have the right to defend the army.
However, in front of our army, in Weihejin and Anxu, the weak and incompetent Hulu, in order to save the defeat, summoned all their young men to the battlefield in an attempt to prevent our army from regaining the Central Plains.
The pace, this is a new situation, just as Chen Zhen said, those who stand in front of us, as long as they hold the sword and refuse to let go, are enemies who will be resolutely destroyed. I here hope that the generals will bravely kill the enemy and win the victory.
.”
The Hu tribes in the east of Yan, as well as the tribes in Yanxi, and the tribes in the northwest, formed the upper stage of Northern Yan's dominance before the Han people in the north. The Eastern Hu people established their country and the Northern Yan dynasty established their dynasty. The total time was only thirty or forty years. The Hu people
The descendants still retain the tradition of establishing their clan through force.
Facing the Huaidong Army's Northern Expedition, unable to mobilize reinforcements from the outer defense line in time, Beiyan summoned nearly 20,000 Hu people in Yanjing City and organized them into the left wing, with the intention of destroying Huaidong.
The army blocked the outside of Yanjing City.
Facing these Hu youths who were still childish but had fanatical morale on the battlefield and fought with their horses, Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng, the two troops on the left and right wings who were the first to deploy, had insufficient coping psychology and suffered many unnecessary casualties.
On May 9th, a brigade-level battle line of Chu Zheng's tribe on the right wing was broken through by the enemy cavalry of young Hu tribesmen, resulting in over 600 casualties. Lin Fu had to suspend the westward march of his tribes and launch an attack on the entire army.
Mobilize a second time to deal with new situations on the battlefield.
After the mobilization meeting for Denghai Zhendi, Lin Fu left the generals above the brigade of Denghai Zhendi for a meeting. At the same time, there were also senior generals above the brigade in Jinhai who came to attend the meeting.
"The Hulu generals who are less than sixteen years old, and even many young men who are only eleven or twelve years old are recruited into the army and fill the battlefield between Jinhai and Yanjing. This shows that the military potential of the Hulu has been squeezed to the extreme by us.
," Lin Fu looked at the senior generals sitting in the tent and said in a low voice, "I don't need to say anything, everyone can understand the significance of the next battle. As long as we are on the Anxu battlefield,
, by wiping out the 60,000 enemy soldiers east of the Wei River, the Hulu's core military potential will be exhausted at once. As long as they win a great victory on the Jie'anxu battlefield, the Hulu will still have nearly 300,000 soldiers on the periphery.
Soldiers and horses, but they will no longer be a problem, and it will be a matter of time to eliminate them. Precisely because the next battle is a decisive battle, I hope everyone will open their eyes double and keep their heads clear..."
Jinhai City was almost reduced to ruins. The most important thing to be transported from the Jianghuai River at the moment was military supplies. The living conditions of the troops were quite simple. In the meeting hall of Denghai Town Division, there were only rush-made elm stools. Everyone was
It's just a butt squeeze together.
However, facing the upcoming battle of Anxu, everyone was very excited.
At the beginning, everyone was still wary of the large number of young Hu soldiers appearing on the battlefield, and restrained themselves from killing people wantonly. However, the conservative tactics resulted in a large number of unnecessary casualties for our own side.
Lin Fu mobilized the entire army this time and regarded the more than 20,000 Hu soldiers who appeared on the battlefield as the last military potential of Beiyan. He made it clear that he would resolutely eliminate them. In fact, he was clearing the final ground for the Battle of Anxu.
obstacle.
***************
The deployment of troops and horses in Jinhai and Jianghuai all took the sea route, and these were not within Beiyan's field of vision.
Even if Beiyan's informants in Jianghuai could figure out the strength of the Huaidong Army, there would not be enough time to spread the news to Yanjing.
Although in Yihai, Liu Xilin led his troops to march north from Yizhou, pass through the Yimeng Mountains, and advance towards the Linqu area in central Shandong, the other reserve troops in the Yihai area were mainly newly formed brigades and military preparation brigades.
The troops of Han Caizhi, the fourth town division of the Fengli Army, Hu Qiaoguan, the third town division of the Haidong Marching Army, and Zhou Pu, the first cavalry division, were all transferred to Jinhai by sea before mid-May.
It can be said with certainty that Huaidong clearly knows that the main force of the captive troops blocking the periphery of Yanjing is the 60,000 cavalry east of the Wei River. In addition, it has 20,000 defenders in Yanjing City, and on the right wing in the Jidong Mountains.
There are still more than 10,000 troops and horses in Sanhe and other areas to delay the westward advance of Huaidong's right-wing troops.
However, the Huaidong Army, in addition to the two troops of Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng spread out from both wings, the horse infantry gathered in Jinhai included three elite infantry brigades of Chen Zhi, Han Caizhi, and Hu Qiaokou, as well as the first elite of Zhou Pu's command.
In addition to the cavalry, there are nine newly formed brigades and six brigades of engineering and supply battalions. These can all be used as the main force to break through from the center to Yanjing in the future. The total force is as high as 90,000, which is actually far more than Beiyan's frontal interception force.
Soldiers and horses.
In addition, Lin Fu also transferred troops and artillery from the navy to the shore. With Sun Zhun as the brigade general, he established a new artillery brigade directly under the jurisdiction of the military headquarters, with four artillery battalions under its jurisdiction, nearly doubling the number of artillery in the middle.
The number of light and heavy artillery reached 500.
Starting from May 12, in addition to Hu Qiaoguan's town division and six new brigades remaining as reserves, two Bu Rui town divisions and one cavalry town division under Chen Zhi, Han Caizhi, and Zhou Pu were the main ones.
, supplemented by three newly formed brigades and three engineering brigades on the middle route, they sent troops from Xiqingzhai west of Jinhai, and rushed toward the Anxu area southeast of Yanjing at a speed of fifty miles a day in front of the enemy.
The former enemy headquarters, composed of Gao Zongting, Yang Yihang, Yue Zhi, Song Shixing and others, moved with Chen Zhi's troops to give specific command of the war with the enemy, while Lin Fu strongly persuaded everyone to stay in Jinhai to coordinate the arrangements, and there was no longer any superiors.
Opportunities on the frontline battlefield.
*******************
In the past few days, Beiyan took advantage of the cavalry across the plain area to continuously win battlefield contact battles on the left and right wings, which restored the morale of its generals.
Except for Tong Huacheng and Fan Wenlan, a few generals still tried their best to persuade Nahewugu to abandon the strategy of decisive battle in the middle. Most of Beiyan's generals in Yanjing firmly believed that the battle between Yanjing and Jinhai should be fought.
On the frontal battlefield, give the Huaidong Army a resolute block. Only in this way can Beiyan's shaky national destiny be saved.
Due to the difficulties of Beiyan digging embankments in the upper reaches of the Guoshui River and Chaobai River, the water level has dropped, so that the two-hundred-ton frigates cannot enter the deep areas of Yan-Hebei. Only small warships under the hundred-ton class can follow the two flanking troops westward.
Enter.
Small warships do not have side guns, and only install one or two four-pound or eight-pound light artillery on the top deck at the front and rear. In addition, the navigable river channel has become narrower, which has greatly reduced the density of artillery that can appear on the battle line. In fact,
The effect of suppressing enemy cavalry conflicts is even far inferior to traditional war weapons such as bed crossbows and scorpion crossbows used with camp sentries.
This gave the Northern Yan cavalry generals an illusion: the Huaidong Army's Fuhuo Crossbows were far less powerful than what Ye Ji Baishi, Ye Ji Duodi and others had described.
This situation made the Beiyan generals headed by Nahe Wugu even more eager to seek opportunities for a decisive battle in the middle.
The Huaidong Army tore open the Suohai defense line and stormed Jinhai with an indestructible momentum. Their troops pointed directly at Yanjing - the hinterland of Yan and Hebei was under such a fatal threat. If time dragged on for a moment longer, Bei Yan would increase its number.
A hint of danger of collapse.
In fact, after the Huaidong Army captured Jinhai City, even if they no longer advance westward, as long as they hold on to Jinhai City, Beiyan will not be able to maintain its current reach of Shandong and Henan in the south, Guanzhong in the west, and Liangliao and Yanxi in the north.
Vast territory.
In fact, unless Beiyan decisively abandons Shandong, Henan, Liangliao, and Yanji, and retreats to Jinzhong, Guanzhong, and Yanxi, a big battle outside Yanjing is inevitable, and the longer it drags on, the worse the situation will be.
It is not good for Northern Yanyue.
Seeing the troops and horses in the middle of the Huaidong Army coming out of Jinhai, General Beiyan, led by Nahe Wugu, thought he had grasped the opportunity for a decisive battle in the middle... @ya
