What Han Li said is also true. Qimen and Yijiang are separated by high mountains and impassable roads. Although they are close to Nanling County of Yijiang, they have always been under the jurisdiction of Fuliang. However, the impassable roads make Huaidong east of Yishan.
It is difficult for a large number of people and horses to cross the mountains and enter Qimen on a large scale, but this does not mean that a small group of people and horses cannot pass through the deep ravines and steep ridges at the northern foot of Yishan Mountain.
Deng Yu was defeated in southern Zhejiang, but he was still able to lead more than a thousand remnants across Yishan Mountain and Huaiyu Mountain to the west of Jiangzhou to join Yue Lengqiu. Mountain folk medicine farmers also often climbed mountains and ridges, walking between Qimen and Nanling——
The more than a thousand soldiers and horses currently occupying Qimen, known as the advance army of eastern Jiangxi, were naturally dispersed and lurking in from Huaidong from the Yishan Mountains.
Now that these more than a thousand troops have occupied Qimen, Huaidong has crossed Yishan Mountain to gain a foothold at the western foot. If it were not for the lightning-fast force to recapture Qimen, Huaidong would have been able to pass through the mountain trails and continue to gain ground.
Continuously import more supplies and troops to Qimen.
Su Tingzhan is very clear about the current state of She family's rule in Jiangxi.
Not to mention that the local gentry were ambitious and unwilling to give in, and the overwhelmed people were just dry firewood after being exposed to the sun. In the ten years of war in Eastern Fujian, nearly 100,000 Jiangxi children died in East Fujian. The families behind these children,
He even harbors hatred towards the She family.
Gannan was plowed ruthlessly by She Feixiong last year, and the number of beheaded heads piled up like hills. However, after spring came, as soon as the number of troops stationed in Gannan decreased, civil unrest was like an inexhaustible weed, and the spring breeze quickly spread.
The revival made Longnan and other counties in southern Jiangxi escape from the control of the She family.
It had only been three days since the advanced troops from eastern Jiangxi occupied Qimen. The news had already spread. Many people in Pengze, Duchang, Fuliang, and Yongshan counties were ready to move, as if a volcano was about to erupt.
Su Tingzhan was in Fuliang and Tian Chang was in Pengze. Even though they blocked the main pass to Qimen, people continued to cross the mountains and ridges to join them. In two days, nearly 100 people were intercepted by the patrol soldiers.
Hundreds of people are all people who are going to Qimen to join forces and resist the rule of the She family.
As long as the Jiangxi advance army can obtain enough weapons and weapons from Yijiang, it can organize more tenant farmers and mountain people in Qimen. Two days ago, the apparent Jiangxi advance army only had more than a thousand people.
, but it won’t take long for the advance army in eastern Jiangxi to quickly become 3,000, 5,000, or 10,000...
A single spark can start a prairie fire. If you want to extinguish this fire, you must act quickly and ruthlessly. But are the more than a thousand troops gathered in Qibing really the entire ambush force from Huaidong lurking into eastern Jiangxi?
Su Tingzhan faced a dilemma: quickly attack Qimen, but he might be ambushed by more lurking troops from Huaidong; if he delayed, he could only watch the advance troops from eastern Jiangxi occupy Qimen, and the military strength would increase day by day.
Better than a day.
Han Li saw Su Tingzhan frowning and said: "Even if Huaidong sent people to lurk, they would only have three to five hundred people. Then they would lure some reckless mountain men from the local area and reluctantly make up Gui Laozi to go ahead."
Even if you try to seduce me, you won’t be able to hide many troops in ambush. If you double the number, you will only have 2,000 capable soldiers. If there are more, how can you let go of the attack? How difficult is it to attack?
If it's not the governor's bait-and-switch scheme, can they easily see through it?"
Tian Weiye felt frustrated at being used as a bait for deception, and no longer had the excitement of being promoted to Chengwei. He could only secretly be grateful for his life, and watched Han Li and Su Tingzhan arguing over whether to send troops.
He couldn't help but say: "Perhaps it won't be too late to attack Qimen after Jiangzhou sends more reinforcements!"
Su Tingzhan could sympathize with Tian Weiye, but he would not feel better if he had been used as bait to lure the enemy. It is difficult for him to come up with a plan at this time, but there is no way to rescue Jiangzhou or Shangrao.
The troops and horses of the She family in Jiangxi are concentrated in Shangrao and Jiangzhou. However, Shangrao and Jiangzhou are facing great military pressure. In important places like Ganzhou and Yuzhang, they can only maintain the most basic defense troops and horses.
Where is the ability to send more troops into eastern Jiangxi to quell the chaos? If the purpose of the advance army in eastern Jiangxi is to attract more troops, and to draw troops from Jiangzhou and Shangrao, is it not to allow Huaidong's plan to succeed?
"The advance army of eastern Jiangxi has more than a thousand soldiers and horses in Qimen. If we really want to mobilize tens of thousands of troops to surround them and attack them, what can we do if these more than a thousand soldiers and horses hide in Yishan Mountain?" Han Li shook his head.
He said to Su Tingzhan, "Is this good? You can sit in Fuliang and I will lead my troops to test the truth. If the Qimen troops are really Huaidong's decoy, I will retreat to Huangtian and wait for Su.
General, come and save me! If the soldiers and horses sneaking in from Huaidong can eat up all my troops in one bite, then we should simply admit defeat. General Su, just hold on to Fuliang, and I won’t blame you!"
Han Li's two thousand men and horses are all well-equipped tiger and wolf divisions, and they are fighting in Jiangxi. Unless the soldiers and horses sneaking in are all elite soldiers from Huaidong, and their strength exceeds a large number, otherwise they can't think of it.
It is absolutely impossible to eat the two thousand elite troops of Han Li who are on guard.
Su Tingzhan thought for a moment and said: "Vice General Han, lead your troops in and keep an eye on Qimen City from the outside. Don't attack it easily..."
It is easy for the advance army of eastern Jiangxi to obtain soldiers, armor, swords and bows from Yijiang and other places through Yishan, but it is difficult to transport a large amount of grain and grass across Yishan in a short period of time. The food reserves in Qimen City are limited. As long as Han Li leads his troops to approach Qimen
The city can restrict the advance army of eastern Jiangxi from collecting food and grass from outside the city, and can also restrict the people from the countryside from entering Qimen City to surrender, thus strengthening the strength of the advanced army of eastern Jiangxi.
As long as Han Li can stabilize his position outside Qimen City, it is possible to force out the other ambush troops lurking in the mountains of eastern Jiangxi in Huaidong!
*******************
In order to confuse the She family, only Yu Wencheng's flag was still raised in Qimen, while Hu Qiaozhong was in Daishan Mountain in the north of Fuliang City, together with Yu Wenbei, monitoring every move in Fuliang City at any time.
The crescent moon shines between the mountains, and the vegetation on the left and right seems to be floating in the clear stream.
Yu Wenbei was squatting on the ridge with Hu Qiaozhong, overlooking Fuliang City in the distance. Fuliang City in the distance could only be vaguely seen in outline under the moon, lying quietly among the hills.
Wu Jingze climbed up on his hands and knees, holding a piece of grass in his mouth as usual, chewing the sweet taste.
Yu Wenbei turned around and saw Wu Jingze climbing up from behind, and asked, "Have you found out the news from Fuliang City?"
"Su Tingzhan is in charge in Fuliang City. He sent people to force Han Li to stop advancing. According to insider information, Han Li returned to Fuliang City and had a bad look towards Su Tingzhan..." Wu Jingze said.
"What a pity," Yu Wenbei sighed, "Su Tingzhan is not a simple person!"
They hid an ambush at the pass where Huangtian entered Qimen, and waited for reinforcements from the She family to rush to attack Qimen. They were caught off guard midway. Unexpectedly, the enemy general Han Li led his troops to Su Tingzhan before they entered Huangtian.
They were forced to drag them down, and their ambush failed to work.
Hu Qiaozhong sat down on the ridge, touched his chin, which had not been shaved for several days and was covered with stubble, and said: "Countless generals of the She family died at the hands of the Huaidong Army on the Eastern Front. The more Su Tingzhan lives, the more enjoyable he becomes."
, Your Excellency and those in the Privy Council all attach great importance to Su Tingzhan, how can he be a simple opponent?"
"If we take down Fuliang City in one step, we won't have these troubles!" Wu Jingze said.
Hu Qiaozhong shook his head and said: "Fuliang is related to the center of eastern Jiangxi. Unless the She family is really negligent, they will not ignore Fuliang. The troops deployed by the She family in Fuliang are all new soldiers, which is very problematic. Can we hide in eastern Jiangxi?
When laying an ambush, the She family may not be able to show weakness and lure the enemy - the Privy Council asked us to treat it with caution, and specifically emphasized that Fuliang City cannot be taken by force without being completely sure, which makes sense..."
Yu Wenbei nodded and said: "We are hiding in the enemy's belly. We must be bold and cautious..."
According to the original plan, Uncle Pan Wen's troops will also secretly enter Fuliang, with nearly 4,000 troops combined. Maybe they will really destroy most of the enemy troops in eastern Jiangxi at Chengziling, and then attack Fuliang City; or Hu Qiaozhong will come over.
, changed the plan, continued to hide the main ambush force, and only exposed Yu Wencheng.
Otherwise, if they really bumped into the 600 elite soldiers deployed by the She family in Fuliang City, the advance army from eastern Jiangxi would have to knock off their big teeth before they could escape. But think about it again, after the battle of Chengziling,
The She family's garrison in Pengze reacted very quickly, which was also very unexpected.
Even if the She family had no other arrangements in Fuliang City, Yu Wenbei was not confident that they could capture Fuliang City before the enemy general Han Li arrived with his troops.
Although the troops and horses they gathered were twice as many as the enemy's reinforcements, the four thousand troops and horses that Yu Wencheng, Yu Wenbei, and Uncle Pan Wen finally gathered were usually scattered and hiding in the mountains of eastern Jiangxi.
The experience of joint force combat. Even if the backbone of the advance army is mostly veterans from Huaidong, if they have to fight head-on with two thousand elite soldiers of the She family under Fuliang City, the outcome is really difficult to predict.
Wu Jingze was also anxious and confused, and said: "After today, the three thousand reinforcements led by Su Tingzhan will also come up from the Changhe River and enter Fuliang City. It will be even more difficult to conquer Fuliang..."
Su Tingzhan was already one of the few generals of the She family, and the three thousand reinforcements he led were naturally elite.
Now in Fuliang City, Su Tingzhan's troops, Han Li's troops, plus the remnants of the previous garrison, totaled more than 6,000 troops. Their strength was already superior, and Wu Jingze was worried that he would lose every opportunity to defeat them.
Hu Qiaozhong frowned and said: "We are anxious, and the She family should be even more anxious. Can they watch us gain a foothold in Qimen?"
There are military passages from Qimen to Fuliang, Pengze, and Yongshan. Although they are in Yishan, they cannot be missed by the She family.
"Yes, Su Tingzhan pulled Han Li back, but sooner or later he will fight out again," Yu Wenbei said, "Although it is no longer possible to kill Han Li's troops in a surprise attack, from Qi
From the gate to Fuliang, there are more than a hundred miles of mountain roads, which are sandwiched by mountains. If Han Li leads his troops into Qimen, we will mobilize the people and cut off their food routes! We must let them know that the area in eastern Jiangxi is Jiangning, not Jiangning.
They are extravagant!"
