Looking at the defeat on the north bank, the mountains are falling, Yue Lengqiu is crying without tears.
He had been cautious for half his life, but he really didn't expect that he would make a mistake at this moment, losing all the chips in his hand, and risking his own life.
Lin Fu's secret letter clearly asked Chizhou to use all its strength on the north bank to prevent the She family from crossing the river. However, he hesitated and was completely unprepared for how violent the backlash would be when the She family was struggling to death.
Yue Lengqiu's heart ached like a knife, and Deng Yu also looked gloomy.
The two armies on the north bank and on the river were completely defeated. Although there were still 20,000 troops on the south bank, their morale was low and there was no possibility of advancing on Peng Ze from the east wing. Deng Yu and Yue Zhi led their troops to retreat slowly, and they had to be prepared for Peng Ze's attack.
The enemy took advantage of the victory and rushed out.
As night fell, the enemy troops on the north bank were still firing in pursuit of the defeated troops, and Songyang City also fell shortly after nightfall.
Chen Hansan was able to kill and led more than a thousand cavalry to Yicheng. Fortunately, Cao Ziang gained trust in Luzhou in time, and Sun Zhuang led the cavalry to fight out from Lujiang in time, repulsing the enemy troops approaching Yicheng and protecting the north bank.
Yicheng and Qianshan counties were not lost.
The Chizhou Army was defeated, and the situation at the southern foot of Huaishan Mountain suddenly became critical. The Huaidong Army's garrison in Luzhou was also very limited. Including the newly formed Third Cavalry Brigade, there were only about 10,000 troops stationed in Luzhou.
A victory and a loss have a profound impact on the morale of both the enemy and ourselves. The morale of the Jiangzhou navy is as high as a rainbow. It would be unwise for the Jinghai No. 3 Marine Battalion to bite the bullet and rush upstream to fight.
In order to prevent the entire defense line on the west side of Jiangning from collapsing, Cao Zi'ang, who was in charge of Luzhou's military affairs, could only order the Jinghai No. 3 Water Battalion, which had originally planned to invade Jiangzhou, to move closer to Yicheng and Lujiang on the north bank, first ensuring that the Luzhou defense line was clear.
worry.
The She family struggled to fight against the trapped beasts near Jiangzhou, and they fought brilliantly, but in Shangrao they could not come back to life.
Chen Zhi's defense at the southern foot of Lianchi Peak was as solid as a rock, and She Feixiong's desperate attacks were ruthlessly crushed. By the 25th, the rain for three consecutive days had stopped, and Lian
The muddy land at the southern foot of Chifeng has turned blood red.
"Young Marshal, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood!" Shi He Jin Ku advised.
Heavy rain fell for three consecutive days, which greatly hindered the Huaidong Army's pursuit by land. However, troop transport ships transported more than 10,000 elite troops from the upper reaches and filled in the Huating Pass and Lianchi Peak on both sides of the north and south, completely sealing off the eastern front of the Zhejiang and Fujian Army.
The main force's escape route to the west.
Now, Zhou Pu led his cavalry battalion to slowly approach the remnants of She Fei Xiong from behind. The distance was only more than twenty miles.
At this time, the remnants of She Fei Xiong had no other choice but to disperse and flee south into the deep mountains and old forests.
"Cough, cough!" She Feixiong coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm. During the previous charge, he was hit by a stone bullet just below his left shoulder. His shoulder bone was shattered, but he only escaped death.
, lying on the couch, unable to move.
"Brother Shi, listen to the order." She Feixiong called him brother, calling Shi and Jin to listen to the order.
"My life is short, and I don't have the strength to walk through hundreds of miles of mountains to Shaowu. If I go with you, I will just be a burden and harm everyone. Whether a man from the She family has ever been a burden to others, whether he lives or dies, he has never been a burden to others.
?" She Feixiong took a breath after saying a word, and said laboriously, "You protect She Jiao and go to Shaowu. You guard Shaowu and let everyone know that the She family has no chance of resurrection. Please don't do it.
I have lost hope. If I stay here, I may be able to hold off the Huaidong Army for a day, and I can also buy you and Jiangzhou some more time..."
Seeing that they could not reach Lianchi Peak, She Fei Xiong, Shi and Jin led the remaining troops to retreat to the southeast and stopped in front of a stream leading deep into Wuyi Mountain.
Going south along the stream only leads to the depths of Wuyi Mountain. There is no road directly leading to Shangguan and Shaowu. However, as long as they break away from the Huaidong Army and go through hardships, they can still disperse and escape to northern Fujian.
The food and grass were exhausted, and there were hundreds of miles of mountains to climb before escaping to northern Fujian. Not to mention the wounded soldiers, it was extremely difficult even for people with intact limbs. It was not known whether they would be attacked or intercepted by the strongholds along the way.
Since the wounded soldiers could not accompany him and became a burden, She Feixiong ordered Shi Hejin and his second son She Jiao to abandon him and the wounded soldiers and flee deep into Wuyi Mountain through the trails, and then look for an opportunity to escape to Shaowu.
She was lying on the ground wailing, and her mind was in a state of confusion. Shi and Jin couldn't bear it, so they knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
She Feixiong used his last strength and said sternly: "Are you going to disobey me?"
When Zhou Pu arrived with his cavalry, Shi Hejin, She Jiao and his remaining troops fled deep into the Wuyi Mountains. The Yuxi crossing was blocked by She Fei Xiong and the wounded soldiers who had stayed behind to serve as dead soldiers.
However, She Fei Xiong's arrows had been exhausted and he was unable to organize the camp. About two thousand wounded soldiers were arrayed in front of a slope. Countless people had broken limbs and arms. They were holding She Fei Xiong's battle flag, fluttering under the setting sun.
.
The Huaidong Army formed a formation on the front with infantry and cavalry and launched a forceful attack.
Ao Canghai came on horseback. Looking at the remnants of the enemy who had run out of arrows and food, he drove his horse to the front of the formation and shouted in a deep voice: "She Fei Xiong, if you kneel down and surrender, what's the point of avoiding you?"
Ao Canghai had a bloody feud with the She family, but Zhou Pu instead stood aside and watched the show. After a long time without seeing any response from the enemy formation, Ao Canghai ordered the armored cavalry to trample on the enemy formation.
The enemy's arrows were exhausted, and She Feixiong's troops were almost out of food at the end. The wounded soldiers had been without food for two days, and they had no other defense except simple horse-fighting.
Such a defensive formation would not form an obstacle at all in front of Huaidong's cavalry charge; a single charge would break through the enemy's formation.
He originally wanted to ask the guards to help him commit suicide so as not to be humiliated by Huaidong, but the Huaidong Army already knew from the prisoners that She Fei Xiong was seriously injured. Countless generals were staring at She Fei Xiong to capture him alive, and how could they tolerate it?
Did he die easily?
When charging into the formation, a dedicated team of armored cavalry came straight to the center of the formation where She Fei Xiong was, killing dozens of guards around him, catching She Fei Xiong who rolled down into the mud pit covered in filth, and sent it to Ao Canghai in a bid for credit.
Ao Canghai dismounted and saw She Fei Xiong's eyes ashen. He didn't say a word and sighed. He didn't show any interest in humiliating him. He grabbed his hair that was half untied, pulled out a knife to cut his throat, and threw him to the ground.
, commanded the left and right: "Show the rebel leader's head to all the troops to enhance the military's prestige! The enemy's generals and above will be killed without mercy, and the remaining ones will survive if they surrender!"
Late at night on the 25th, after the rain stopped, the banks of the Xinjiang River were especially quiet. Lin Fu was in Shangrao City and did not know the news of the defeat of the Chizhou Army.
The main forces of the Huaidong Army, including Liu Zhenzhi, Zhang Jiheng, Zhang Gou, Tang Fuguan, Chen Ze, and Sun Wenyao from the Chongcheng Army and Changshan Army, all successfully passed through Yandi and entered the middle reaches of the Xinjiang River.
Among them, Chen Zhi, Zhang Gou's troops and part of the cavalry of the first brigade of the cavalry battalion were on the south bank to chase and annihilate the remnants of She Feixiong. Zhang Jiheng and Su Pinxiao stood guard at Huating Pass to block the westward escape route of Hengfeng's enemies. Liu Zhenzhi and Tang Fuguan
, Sun Wenyao and other troops, commanded by Zhou Tong, advanced westward from Shangrao and slowly advanced towards Hengfeng. At Hengfeng, there were still 256,000 remaining soldiers of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops who had not yet surrendered.
It was late at night and the lights were about to burn out. Lin Fu was still sitting under the lamp reading official letters. Fu Qinghe and Gao Zongting also stayed with him to rest.
Song Jia pushed the door open and came in, saying: "She Feixiong has been beheaded in front of the battle, and all the remaining soldiers of his camp have been killed. Except for the more than 1,500 remaining soldiers who surrendered, about 2,000 people fled into the Wuyi Mountains. General Canghai was there.
Shore asked for instructions on what to do?"
"Ask Ao Canghai to go to Huating Pass and lead Zhang Jiheng's troops to the north first to join the advanced troops in eastern Jiangxi and recapture the cities in eastern Jiangxi. Chen Zhi led his troops to rest on the south bank, and Zhang Gou led his troops to continue westward. After regaining Fuzhou
When we go south to attack Shangguan, we can resist the army forces along the way. We can select their elites and recruit them to attack northern Fujian together with Zhao Qingshan, so we can't give the enemies in northern Fujian a chance to breathe." Lin Fu said.
Chen Zhi's troops pursued and intercepted enemy soldiers twice, resulting in heavy casualties. They needed to rest and replenish new combat capabilities in order to avoid a decline in combat capabilities.
Two thousand remnants of the enemy fled into Wuyi Mountain, and eventually they had to flee south to Shangguan and Shaowu. They had no food and grass in the deep mountains, and they had to cross mountains and ridges. It would not be faster than Zhang Gou's troops to attack Shangguan southward after they recaptured Fuzhou.
.
After the war in eastern Fujian, the She family withdrew about 30,000 soldiers and horses to the upper reaches of the Min River. However, in order to defend Shangrao, the She family sent elite troops from northern Fujian to the north twice. Now the She family has no more than 20,000 soldiers and horses guarding northern Fujian.
.
Zhao Qingshan could have at most 30,000 troops in Jin'an Prefecture and marched along the west side of Fujian and Jiangxi to attack Jian'an. Lin Fu asked Zhang Gou to lead 12,000 elite troops from Fuzhou south to attack Shaowu and Shanguan. He used 40,000 troops to attack northern Fujian.
They already have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. In addition, Lin Fu also wants to incorporate the resistance forces in southern Jiangxi, so as not to let them escape control and become a new hidden danger in Jiangxi.
These matters had been discussed before, and Lin Fu gave the order casually without further discussion with Fu Qinghe and Gao Zongting.
"Canghai set the tone on the south bank. I wonder if we should also use this as an example for the enemies who are stubbornly defending Hengshan?" Fu Qinghe suggested.
"Most of the She family's military generals are obtained with military merit, and military merit is nothing more than stained with the blood of the people and generals in Jiangnan. The top generals will be sent to Jiangning for trial, and the rest will be pardoned if they surrender," Lin Fu said, "Send someone to
Tell Zhou Tong about this. It will be more difficult here, and a detailed list of the enemy generals and officials to be killed will be written down, and Zhou Tong will be asked to use catapult crossbows to attack Hengfeng City. The enemy troops will not be disordered and will attack the city in three days.
"
There are still 25,000 to 6,000 remnant enemies surrounded in Hengfeng City, and there are about 60 to 70 generals above the battalion general level. These are all war criminals who cannot be forgiven. Although Lin Fu has no hobby of destroying other people or human races,
However, the hands of the main generals of the Zhejiang and Fujian armies who invaded the southeast from the She family were stained with too much blood, and the blood feud they caused was so deep that there was no room for forgiveness.
"I wonder what the situation is like on the other side of Jiangzhou?" Gao Zongting said, "The enemies of Ganzhou withdrew to the north yesterday. I think Shewenzhuang will not wait for all the troops to withdraw to Jiangzhou before crossing the river. If Yue Lengqiu has a slight attack on the north bank,
Hesitation, the situation is really hard to say..."
"When will Yue Lengqiu trust me unreservedly?" Lin Fu smiled slightly and said, "She Wenzhuang is determined to abandon all the soldiers and horses on the eastern front. I'm afraid there will be no chance to stop him from going north!"
In order to penetrate the She family's defense line in Shangrao, Lin Fu transferred the Chongcheng Army and Changshan Army south to join the battle. In Luzhou, the garrison in Yijiang was mainly water camps, and their land combat strength was very limited, less than ten thousand.
.Whether he can seal the She family's way to the north, Lin Fu can only rely on Chizhou and Jinghu.
Chizhou, Jinghu, and Huaidong are at odds with each other. The situation is developing so rapidly. There is only a slim chance of blocking the She family's northward journey. Lin Fu does not expect Yue Lengqiu to be able to grasp it. However, at this time, Lin Fu
He never thought that Yue Lengqiu would be defeated so miserably.
After the remnants of the She family fled north across the Yangtze River in Jiangzhou, although the overall situation in Jiangxi was determined, there were still many things to deal with, and the main force of the Huaidong Army could not be mobilized to go north for the time being.
First, the enemies of Hengfeng must be dealt with as soon as possible. In addition, the She family still has a remnant army in northern Fujian that needs to be annihilated, as well as Huang Binghao and Chen Zishou in Yuanzhou. The problem is also a headache. After the remnants of the She family crossed the Yangtze River and fled north in Jiangzhou,
It was easy for Hu Wenmu to attack Jiangzhou with his troops in Ezhou, so Lin Fu still had a headache how to force Hu Wenmu to hand over Jiangzhou.
Okay, there are a lot of headaches waiting to be solved one by one. Lin Fu rubbed his swollen cheeks and said to Fu Qinghe and Gao Zongting: "You guys go to rest first. Not everything can be solved today.
..." Next to Fu Qinghe and Gao Zongting left, Lin Fu groaned in pain, lay down, pillowed his head on Song Jia's plump and slender thighs, and said, "Oh, I must pretend to be sick and rest for two days, or you
