Yue Lengqiu did not expect that the Zhejiang and Fujian troops, who were like lost dogs, would still have fighting spirit at this time.
In fact, the She family is struggling to death, but Chen Hansan is full of fighting spirit.
From now on, the She family will lose their land in Jiangxi, and they will be reduced from a powerful hero to a bereaved dog. Even if the remnant can successfully cross the river and escape to the north bank, it will be a real tragedy.
However, for Chen Hansan, the feeling is completely different.
In the past six months, although with the secret support of Suizhou and Jiangzhou, Chen Hansan led his troops into eastern Hubei to recruit bandits and bandits. His strength once again exceeded 10,000, which was considered to have some foundation. However, the main force of the She family's troops was to contain Jiangzhou on the south bank.
However, Luo Xiancheng still argued with Jiang Ning and did not dare to fall out. Chen Hansan was caught between Jinghu and Chizhou, and the situation was really precarious.
Even if the She family is half disabled by Huaidong, Jiangxi will completely fall into the hands of Huaidong. From the overall situation of the world, Huaidong's advantage will be further clear.
However, for Chen Hansan, who was living in a precarious situation, he could not care about the overall situation of the world for the moment. He could only try his best to survive in the small situation of Jinghu.
No matter how disabled the She family is, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. There are still 60,000 to 70,000 remaining members of the She family who can cross the river and go north. No less than half of them are elite. They will completely reverse the balance of power in Jinghu in a short time. This can at least
Let Chen Hansan be freed from the immediate crisis.
As for the general trend of the world, Chen Hansan never thought that he could compete with Huaidong again, nor did he think that the remnants of the She family would be able to compete with Huaidong if they joined forces with Zhou Luo Xiancheng - the one who should compete with Huaidong should be Beiyan.
After the remnants of the She family crossed the river and headed north, Luo Xiancheng could no longer be a pool of stagnant water, motionless as a mountain.
Luo Xiancheng had not moved before, because the Northern Yan soldiers and horses were still far away from Suizhou. If they moved, they would be surrounded by Huaixi, Nanyang, Jinghu, and Chizhou. Therefore, Luo Xiancheng did not dare to move.
After the remnants of the She family fled to the north bank, they would share the military strength of Jinghu and Chizhou for Suizhou. Huaidong was not able to intervene in Jinghu for a while. Luo Xiancheng now prepared his chariots and horses to welcome the Northern Yan troops going south. There would be more
What pressure?
At this time, Beiyan's troops in Guan and Shaanxi were like fire, and the invasion was like fire. The Cao family struggled to support Guanzhong and not retreat, mainly because of Jinghu, and Nanyang had strategic support for it from behind.
Once the balance of power in Jinghu changes fundamentally and Luo Xiancheng raises his banner to support Yan in Suizhou, will the Cao family still dare to defend Guanzhong alone?
If the Cao family retreats to the east of Sichuan, Liang Chengchong will be nothing more than a candle in the wind in Nanyang.
The most critical development of the situation will be in the next one or two years.
The She family and Chen Hansan are people with no escape route. It is impossible for them to defect to Jiangning, but they have no grudge against Beiyan.
In addition, the people of Beiyan's own tribe are only three to five hundred thousand. If he wants to rule the world, whose power can he borrow? He can only rely on the power of the vassal army.
The She family did not give up their efforts to cede territory for self-reliance until they retreated to Jiangxi. However, the remnants of the family fled north across the Yangtze River, and the She family lost the capital to be self-reliant.
The She family was unable to defend themselves, but they had the capital to surrender to Beiyan.
After the She family crossed the Yangtze River and fled north, although they lost the ability to compete head-on with Huaidong, they still had 60,000 to 70,000 troops. Among many forces, they were second only to Huaidong, Huaixi, Sichuan-Shaanxi Cao family, and Jinghu.
, Tanzhou, Chizhou and Suizhou Luo Xiancheng are all stronger.
At this time, surrendering to Beiyan has become the best choice for the She family at the moment; Beiyan wants to sweep south, and if the She family can borrow it, why would they abandon it?
As long as the She family can always control an elite combat force, it is possible that they can carve out a corner and become king in the future.
Since the She family has lost the hearts of the people in Jianghuai, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and has deep hatred, the Northern Yan will conquer the world one day, and then cede Eastern Fujian to the She family. At least in the short term, there is no need to worry that the She family will still be able to take over the world and threaten the Northern Yan.
The rule of the Central Plains region. Or asking the She family to guard Guangnan is not a lost option.
In fact, for the She family to cross the Yangtze River and head north, there was only one way to surrender to Beiyan.
First of all, Jinghu is a small area. There are already five forces including Luo Xiancheng, Liang Chengchong, Chen Hansan, Hu Wenmu, and Yue Lengqiu. If the She family squeezes in, it is impossible to gain much living space and form a long-term separatist situation.
.
If the She family really wanted to separate themselves from Jinghu, Luo Xiancheng would definitely refuse.
In addition, Huaidong's situation in the periphery has been achieved. The longer the delay, the easier it will be for Huaidong's army to crush Jinghu - the She family, Chen Hansan, and Luo Xiancheng's only chance of survival is to achieve success in Huaidong.
At that time, he opened the Jinghu Passage for Beiyan.
Either by leading the Northern Yan army southward, or by relying on the Northern Yan army, they could compete with Huaidong.
She Wenzhuang had previously sent people to explain the truth behind this to Chen Hansan. Chen Hansan could also understand the She family's mentality of facing the end of the road at this time.
The She family was at the end of its rope, and it was a last resort to make a desperate move. However, after the defeat of Xuzhou, Chen Hansan almost lost all his underpants. At this time, there was an opportunity to welcome the Northern Yan army south and follow it. Chen Hansan's
The mood is completely opposite to that of Shejia.
***************
The She family was fighting to the death, while Chen Hansan was fighting to obtain more bargaining chips to surrender to Beiyan in the future. It can be said that this opportunity pushed the fighting spirit of his troops to the highest level since they went south.
Shewenzhuang's plan to abandon Jiangzhou and cross the Yangtze River to flee north was a hasty plan, and it only took two days for Chen Hansan to gain faith.
In order not to alarm the Chizhou Army, Chen Hansan led his 600 elite cavalry to sneak back to Huangmei from the defense line facing Jinghu in the west of Qichun under the cover of night.
The Third Water Camp of Jinghai has to travel from Yijiang for nearly 400 miles against the current. At this time, the downward river current is strong, and it will take three to four days at the fastest to reach the river area outside Huanglongling.
intercept.
In order to restrict the large-scale withdrawal of the She family from Jiangzhou and flee north across the Yangtze River, the Chizhou army attacked in three directions. Yue Duming led more than 12,000 troops to attack by land from Xiaocang Mountain on the north bank and advance to Huanglongling; at this time, Chen Hansan
Just in Huangmeicheng, watching the plants and trees east of Huangmeicheng.
Chen Hansan was also worried that the Zhejiang and Fujian troops would lose their fighting spirit due to the defeat at Shangrao, so he decided to lead his troops out of the city first.
Not a single soldier was left in Huangmeicheng. Chen Hansan led five thousand cavalry out of the city and attacked the flank from the northwest. This was something Yue Lengqiu and Yue Duming had not expected in advance.
In Yue Duming's hurry, he could only detach half of his troops to attack Chen Hansan's troops from the flanks, and use half of his 6,000 troops to attack the Zhejiang and Fujian troops coming out of Huanglong Ridge.
Shewenzhuang gave up on Shangrao and secretly ordered the troops from Ganzhou, Yuzhang, and Fuliang to withdraw southward from the east bank of Poyang Lake; before other troops had withdrawn to the south bank of the Yangtze River, Shewenzhuang abandoned the river without waiting for anyone.
The generals of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops in Jiangzhou were very resistant and angry if they failed to defend the state and crossed the river first.
Although the suppression at Shewenzhuang and the retreat order were carried out, the morale of the Jiangzhou Army, including the troops stationed at Huanglongling, naturally fell to a low point.
Perhaps it was the Chizhou Army's advance that angered the Huanglongling garrison, or maybe Chen Hansan's troops spared no effort to attack the Chizhou Army's flanks, which aroused the fighting spirit of the Huanglongling garrison.
Huanglongling guard She Yuan is the eldest son of She Feixiong. His father and younger brother were trapped in Shangrao, but his grandfather refused to divide his troops to rescue him. He was angry and resentful, and even gave up his post to go to Shangrao alone. She Yuan's
She Wenzhuang suppressed his rage and suppressed an evil fire in his heart. At this time, attacking the Chizhou Army and massacring the Chizhou Army became his only channel to vent his anger.
Shewenzhuang personally crossed the river to Huanglongling and took up the post. Except for a thousand soldiers and horses who stayed at the camp to prevent the Chizhou Navy from having the opportunity to land on the beach and seize Huanglongling, the other eight thousand elites who advanced to station in Huanglongling were led by Sheyuan.
The nest came out in full force.
She Yuan was astride an eight-foot war horse, and the horse was covered with armor. He was also wearing heavy armor, and he rushed into Chizhou's military formation with a big halberd as the vanguard. He wanted to wash away the anger in his heart with killing, and waved the big halberd like a falling star across the sky.
There was blood and blood all the way, and there were no Sanhe generals in the Chizhou army.
It has a lot to do with the fact that the She family can use a corner of the land and a clan to survive several counties in the southeast, and the She family itself can have stars emerge one after another.
When the front line and the flanks were violently attacked by Huanglongling soldiers and Huangmei Chen Hansan's troops at almost the same time, Yue Duming completely understood that he was wrong, and finally understood why Lin Fu's secret letter emphasized that the Chizhou Army should use all its strength to defend Shejiabei on the north bank.
Cross.
We must go all out to prepare for the enemy on the north bank. We must go all out to prepare for the enemy on the north bank!
Yue Duming looked at the enemy troops coming like a tidal wave, and his eyes darkened for a while. About half of the Chizhou army's troops and horses were given to Yue Zhi, and Deng Yu led the attack on Pengze on the south bank, which completely dispersed half of the strength.
"Divide the enemy and unite yourself", the six-character mantra of the art of war may not be fully understood until death, but for Yue Duming, it was too late.
Under attack from two wings, the 12,000 troops and horses led by Yue Duming who attacked from the north bank were unable to sustain for even an hour before collapsing. Chen Hansan even led a thousand elite cavalry to fight out of the rout.
Attack the Chizhou Army's main camp at Xiaocang Mountain.
After the main force was led by Yue Duming, there were less than 2,000 defenders left in the main camp of Xiaocang Mountain. They looked at several groups of enemy troops, like wolves, weaving through the broken troops all over the mountains and plains, heading straight for the main camp of Xiaocang Mountain.
, Yue Lengqiu also knew that the situation was over and he could not save it alone.
Du Ming's life or death was unknown. The front of the attacking troops had been completely defeated and was involved in the chaos. Yue Lengqiu could only bear the pain and ignore Du Ming's life or death. He abandoned the main camp and fled. Surrounded by his troops, he followed Yan.
Returning to the east bank of the lake, he boarded a warship and sailed to the south bank to meet Yue Zhi and Deng Yu.
At this time, the combined forces of Chen Hansan and She Yuan had already captured the main peak of Xiaocang Mountain and crossed the Ma Mountain Rock. The two groups of troops swept towards the west foot, covering up and killing the garrison who had not had time to withdraw from Yangui Lake Water Village.
Yue Lengqiu's heart ached, so he could only go to the south bank to escape.
The land battle on the north bank was defeated so easily, and the Xiaocangshan camp and the Yanguihu water camp at the west foot were lost one after another. This was also a fatal blow to the Chizhou navy, which was marching westward from the waterway to suppress the Jiangzhou navy. It had been retreating steadily since noon.
, when the sun went down, they could no longer maintain the ship formation and fled eastward in a hurry.
Taking advantage of the great victory on the north bank, the Jiangzhou navy also came out in full force, and was about to defeat the Chizhou navy.
If Xiaocang Mountain is not lost and the Chizhou navy loses the water battle, they can take refuge in Yangui Lake and use the shallow water at the mouth of the lake and the terrain features of land and water to block the enemy forces outside Yangui Lake. After Xiaocang Mountain is lost,
The Chizhou Navy had to flee to the mouth of the Qiupu River before they could escape the pursuit of the Jiangzhou Navy. The entire 200-mile escape almost caused the remnants of the Chizhou Navy to suffer a psychological collapse.
