"According to the captives, each soldier in the Jin army was only given three days' ration." Tiao You held the Jin Army's standard ration, which is a rice ball after mixing coarse grains and a small amount of glutinous rice. . He said: "Looking at the smoke from the Jin army last night, and the scouts reported back, Xie Shi burned the grain, but there were animals left behind."

In fact, it is still unknown whether Xie Shi really burned the grain. After all, Xie Shi, as the leader, just wanted to show a determination. It didn't matter if he showed it to the soldiers and soldiers, it should be left behind.

"Is there any sign of the enemy's retreat?" Xu Zheng is now most concerned about this. He has not received information from the Jin Army navy reappearing on the battlefield, and said more seriously: "Be sure to monitor closely. Seeing that the Jin Army navy is coming, the fleet should go to intercept or destroy it."

The Han army has been monitoring the movements of the navy of the Jin army. After the Jin Army navy sent Xie Shi's mansion to the north bank of Huai Shui, they retreated to Shao Bei.

The fleet of the Han army has intercepted and eliminated the navy of the Jin army, but after all, the battlefield is in the boundary of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Jin army’s eyeliner is too many and widely distributed, and the fleet can only sail in the waters. The Han fleet In the end, he still didn't find a chance to catch up or stop the Jinjun navy.

"It is already under close surveillance." Tiao Youqian reported on the situation on the outer battlefield, and said: "When Tu was captured by our army, Si Hongzhuang's department had already joined forces with Xie'an's department in Yinling. According to the original plan, they joined forces. After that, we should make progress in Xiquyang, conquer this city behind Shouchun, and cut off the main force of the Jin army from the rear."

The so-called plan is the goal to be achieved, but what Xie An reported was that they found that there were Jin troops coming from the southwest. Seeing that the banner was the leader of the state, Chu Bai led the army, and they found Gu He, Wang Yizhi, Miyi, and Wang. The banner of the niche and others.

There were a lot of people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty leading generals, and there were only a few who were more able to play. It just so happened that a few of the more able to play appeared on the Huainan battlefield.

Xu Zheng nodded and asked: "Will Xie Lang have any news from there?"

Tiao You was taken aback for a moment, and soon came back to his senses. Xu Zheng asked Xie Ai from Jiangdu, not Xie An, who was already in the Yin Ling. He said: "If there is nothing wrong, General Xie Lang has already started to cross the river, should he be fighting the Jin army in the Dantu area?"

The number of troops on the side of Xie Ai did not exceed 50,000 when the number of troops was the largest. They were facing at least 30 miles of defense in depth built by the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty along the Yangtze River. Their business of crossing the river is based on the fact that the Jin army navy was attracted to the Huainan battlefield. Otherwise, even if the Han fleet has an absolute advantage, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses when the Han army is not active in water warfare.

"The head of the country probably didn't know that Dantu had already landed our army..." Xu Zheng touched his chin and paused before saying, "Once he finds out, can he continue to the Huainan battlefield with his troops?"

For the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jiankang, the capital of the country, was on the Yangtze River. They spent national power to build a depth of 30 miles to ensure the safety of Jiankang. However, it is absolutely impossible to have a line of defense alone. There must always be sufficient troops to garrison. In order to let the depth of defense play its due role.

Tiao You said safely: "When the time is right, you can send some fleets to the area of ​​the pseudo-Korean capital."

According to the speculation of the Han army, most of the elites of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were on the Huainan battlefield, and the elimination of the Jin army in Huainan was equivalent to completing half of the intention to destroy the country, and also preparing for the next attack on Jiankang.

The Han army’s southern invasion corps had a lot of preparations, including the use of Xie Shi’s as a bait to attract the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to send reinforcements to wipe out those Jin troops who came from behind.

Jiankang is a big city with a population of close to one million. The current number of defenders will not be less than one hundred thousand. In an emergency, hundreds of thousands of defenders will be mobilized. The Han army really wanted to forcefully attack Jiankang. It is estimated that it would be very difficult to chew without sending two or three hundred thousand.

Attacking a big city with a population of close to one million, even Liu Yan would feel distressed when he thinks of it. To conquer such a city, or the capital of a country, requires a huge number of troops, it will take a very long time, and the consumption of materials is beyond imagination.

The Han country is not only at war with the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The war with Shijie and Zhao has always been in full swing. I don’t know how long Murong Yan can be dragged in Liaodong, and the rest cannot be too relaxed. , Then the southern invasion should be strategically arranged properly.

Since Jiankang was not so easy to fight, and the Han army had begun to invade south again, the first thing to do was to mobilize the army of the small Eastern Jin court as much as possible. Whether it was a field battle or a battle outside of the healthy city, the small Eastern Jin court was wiped out bit by bit. With victories one after another, the confidence of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was completely lost. When the time is right, health does not need to be attacked.

Xu Zheng insisted on having a hunting meeting with Xie Shi on the north bank of Huaishui River, just to cooperate in accordance with the national strategy. They have successfully used 50,000 troops to bring the 80,000 Jin army led by Xie Shi into the battlefield. A partial division is constantly beating the city and plundering land.

Some partial divisions, such as Si Hongzhuang and Xie An, their main task is to build a battlefield, play a favorable time and space, and create opportunities to eliminate the Jin army that may come to support Xie Shi's subordinate.

With the arrival of a new day, the battlefield on the northern coast of Huainan has reopened.

The Jin army still puts the main attack position on the front of the middle, and the left and right wings are more confined and engaged in solid defense work. In the first round of the Jin army, it seems that the banner is a military mansion with six or seven 3,000 personnel, and their opponents are the Han army of three schools.

It’s not that Xu Zheng doesn’t want to mobilize more troops on the frontal battlefield in the middle, but the terrain over there can only accommodate those troops. It’s that no matter how many troops are deployed, the ones that can actually participate in the battle are only those in front. Then it’s best to take turns to participate in the battle. The way.

The Jin army relaunched the offensive and discovered that the Han army's arrow offensive was more frequent and denser than the first day. Such a discovery was reported to Xie Shi of the Chinese Army, and all the Jin Army generals present showed a worried look.

"I didn't fight head-to-head like the first day..." Sun Chuo said, disappointed and worried: "Has the Han army changed its general?"

Generally speaking, people on the Jinjun side think Xu Zheng is stupid. They would think this way because it was not for nothing, nor was it an upright battle in the classical era. However, Xu Zheng really had the style of a general in the classical era, and promised to hunt is to implement the agreement. Even the Jin army was most worried about it. The fact that he was hit by the half-cross did not happen, and later there was a move that would send troops to fight melee, although he could obviously block the offensive of the Jin army with archery.

If Xie Shi thought that Xu Zheng was so stupid that he was unreasonably stupid, but thinking about why his own soldiers' morale fell so fast in a day, he suddenly felt that Xu Zheng didn't seem to be stupid, it seemed... it seemed to be very smart?

The high morale of the Jin army was based on the premise of being constantly deceived. The result was that the soldiers of the Jin army did not think how powerful the Han army would be. If the Han army only used long-range attack weapons, even if the Jin army was blocked, The Jin army will also feel that the Han army is just as powerful as remote equipment, and it may not necessarily lose confidence.

The Han army gave up the absolute advantage of long-range attacks, even if there were long-range attacks, they only occurred against the Jin cavalry. They fought close to the Jin army for a day, and the result was that the Han army could not only block the Jin army's offensive firmly in close combat, but also blocked it with a few attacks and was able to push back. The Han army is telling the Jin army with facts, don't think that the Han army can only shoot arrows and is still strong in close hand-to-hand combat.

The false lie was proved by facts. It seemed that the Jin army suddenly discovered that the Han army was not as bullying as expected. The gap in the heart directly resulted in a wave of confidence. From the beginning, it was able to withstand heavy casualties and recover to every military office. It's just that the loss is close to an achievement and there are signs of collapse.

[Strength can't make a fake! Xie Shi suddenly felt a little physically and mentally exhausted. Many methods still rely on hard power to achieve results. Facing the gap in strength, it is not true that some means can be used to reverse it. He did not express his inner state, and said calmly: "Adjust the battlefield troops and make an attack with the main force of the shogunate."

The so-called shogunate pro-army was actually Xie Shi's real elite troops. Private soldiers from the Xie clan served as the backbone. They were recruited from the army or private brave men to supplement, equipped with sophisticated armor and equipment. This troop is Xie Shi's killer weapon. The number is only less than 20,000. It was originally sent out as a last resort. Now if it is not vigorous, the morale of the rest of the troops will really be vented to the end.

Xie Wan hesitated for a while, stood up and responded, "No!"

All the shoguns in the tent were energetic. The shogunate’s pro-army was dispatched earlier than expected. They realized that a turning point in the war would soon occur. The outstanding performance of the shogunate’s pro-army would surely save or even arouse higher morale. If there is no outstanding performance or even defeat, then...but it will be worse.

The coach gave orders. Some topics that were not open to the public have been discussed. Waiting for the non-core generals to leave, Xie Shang, who stayed here, said: "After Huaishui is only the second day of the war, isn't it a bit early? ..." He hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "It's too risky."

Xie Wan did not leave, because he was not an outsider, he directly said, "Those are all elites in the family!"

After the Battle of Huai Shui began, the Jin army was either imperial troops or some reorganized troops from second- and third-rate families. At best, the troops of the elite or first-class families fought a dozen sides. This is a direct manifestation of family politics.

Xie Wan’s words sound very clear. No matter how many casualties there are in the court’s troops, the court should be distressed. The elite of the family is the root of each family. There is not much damage. The loss of the elite of a family also means that the family should be. Sinking or disappearing directly can never be consumed if it can be preserved.

"Don't be as naive as those other people (aristocrats)." Xie Shi was constantly smiling, and said: "They thought that even if they couldn't win, they could withdraw to the South Bank. Only a small number of people would be able to withdraw. It’s about to be thrown on the north bank. It has already crossed the river north and there is no possibility of preserving its strength."

Both Xie Shang and Xie Wan knew the truth was this way, even Xie Shi was so clear that even the rest of the people didn't understand it. Before they crossed the river north, they wanted to use the "combined boxing" to collapse the Han army with full confidence. However, the reality was very shocking.

"At least I can try now, right?" Xie Shi raised his hand and clenched his fist, and said loudly, "Not only the shogunate's pro-army, but all the other elites will also be on the court. To me today, if you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent!"

None of them are stupid, Xie Shi is already like this, Xie Shang and Xie Wan have fully understood the seriousness of the situation.

Later, Xie Shi mentioned those things he had realized, and at the end he couldn't help saying: "Whether it's a mistake or a big wit, the trend lies with the Han army."

The Jin army on the north bank of Huaishui hasn't been in contact with the rear for the time being. If they knew that there was a Han army attacking the city and plundering land in Huainan, they would know that what Xie Shi said was correct, but it seemed a bit afterthought.

The mobilization of the battlefield could not be silent. Xu Zheng learned that the attacking Jin army had withdrawn, and the chasing troops hit the iron plate. He immediately knew that the opposite Xie Shi was going to work hard.

"It should be a private soldier of the Xie family." Tiao You was not guessing at all. He said: "The newly-appearing Jin Army's armor is very sophisticated, and the will to fight is also resolute~lightnovelpub.net~ Whether a unit can fight is straightforward. Reflected in the difference of will, two armed forces with the same resolute will to fight against each other can affect the configuration of armor and equipment, and then the quantity.

There were only more than 3,000 Han troops who went to chase down the Jin army. They were killed by the shogunate’s pro-army from the left and right wings. Although the chasing Han troops adjusted at the fastest speed, the two wings were very fast. It was broken through, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to show defeat, and it was only after the troops from the rear came to rescue that they fought and retreated.

That part of the battle was only a small corner of the many fights on the entire battlefield, but it was a great encouragement to the rest of the Jin army. For the first time, the Han army retreated in a frontal confrontation, whether it was the Jin army or not. Bullying the minority, at least let the Jin army see that the Han army is not invincible.

"To attack, only to attack!" Xu Zheng is very aware of the seriousness of the situation. He has been working hard to disintegrate the morale of the Jin army, and Xie Shi immediately sent his trump cards when the initial success was achieved. Morale opportunity!"

"Send cavalry?" Of course, Tiao You also noticed the turning point of the battlefield, and suggested: "The enemy has already deployed absolute elites. As long as we can defeat them with an absolutely powerful offensive, they should completely lose confidence."
