To the southwest of Jingkou battlefield, more than 600 miles away, the Southern Tang army's southern capital army had just arrived at Ankou.
Although the army is still six hundred miles away, it doesn't take too long to break through this line of defense.
This line of defense occupied by the Zhou army mainly includes a stronghold: the Ankou in the north of the Yangtze River, that is, the Ankou in the river, with a water and land stronghold operated by the Zhou army; Chizhou in the south of the Yangtze River, with cities and water camps occupied by the Zhou army.
Once you have passed this section of the road, you can travel all the way, first breaking through the quarry-caught cushion of Zhou State, and then threatening its navy.
The reinforcements from the Southern Tang Army were known as 150,000, and they set out from Hukou (Poyang Lake) with a huge momentum.
The capital of the Southern Tang Kingdom is in the northeast corner of the territory, with a large amount of land far away from the capital to the west and south; the Southern Capital (Nanchang) is a very important national defense center, where heavy troops are hoarded; now this group of people is one of the core forces of the Southern Tang Kingdom.
On the south bank of the Yangtze River, swords, guns and flags were erected in the wind and snow. On the parallel avenues, there were dragons and countless soldiers and horses. The chariots and horses were rustling, and several black dragons were winding along the river, without seeing the beginning and end.
On the surface of the river, thousands of boats were like a black tide sweeping over the flood.
...In a spacious cabin, a middle-aged civil servant was sitting in front of the desk.
He is Chen Qiao, the assistant to the Southern Tang Guoguang Zhengyuan, with his correct facial features and flowing beard with a flowing chin. He is a pretty man, and his movements of reaching out to pick his beard are very elegant.
Chen Qiao held her beard and raised her head and sighed alas, and the sorrow in her eyebrows and eyes could not dissipate.
In front is a carved window that is supported from below. Outside the carved window, the turbulent water surface is undulating, and white snowflakes disappear on the water one after another.
Wow, wow... There were waves of water coming, mixed with the sound of rubbing paddles and wood rubbing.
He lowered his head and continued to look at a letter in his hand.He shook his head and sighed while looking.
A friend from Jiangning City wrote him a letter informing him of some major events that have happened recently.
In particular, the king, who concealed the assassination plan of the ministers, planted assassinations in the singing girls and assassinated the Zhou army's central tent in the name of peace talks!
Chen Qiao was speechless.
Although this world relies on force, morality is also very important.
Such behavior is not only the world will be disinterested in morality, but even Chen Qiao is also confused: I am trying hard to safeguard the country. If it is unrighteous, then why is it for? Just to get promoted and make money, and to maintain your own glory and wealth?
And that Liu Cheng, why did he still use him to control such important military power?Isn’t it enough to teach Huangfu Jixun’s story?
This battle is not only about the strength of the soldiers and generals, but also about the intelligent means of internal power struggle.
The open carved windows, the wet and cold wind poured in, making the paper on the table sway and blow on Chen Qiao's face.
He shivered, feeling that a ball of flame in his heart seemed to be gradually cooling in the cold wind.
At this moment, a man wearing a cloth robe and a bun walked out of the open cabin door and said in a deep voice: Lord, the enemy has been found in front of him!
After hearing this, Chen Qiao hurriedly accepted the letter, got up and walked out quickly.
After getting on the deck, Chen Qiao took a look at the distance, there was a piece of reeds.He turned his head again and saw Zhu Lingyun standing behind the railing above, covering his forehead with one hand, and looking into the distance intently.
So Chen Qiao also climbed up the stairs and stood beside Zhu Lingyun.Zhu Lingyun was very focused and didn't care about Chen Qiao at all.
Chen Qiao didn't care about these minor points, and stood on a high place and looked ahead.The ship is tall, but it is not at the front. Looking in the direction, there is a large area of its own warships in front.
A further distance, the first thing I saw was a large area of land in the middle of Jiangxin, which was a Jiangxin continent.
To the north of Jiangxinzhou is Jiajiang (a waterway separated by the Yangtze River). There is an estuary on the north bank of Jiajiang, which is the estuary where the Anhui River converges, so this place is called Anhuikou.
The area at the entrance of Wankou is full of reeds... In the depths of the large reeds, many things like wooden poles stand.It seems like a mast?
Zhu Lingyun and his generals are paying attention to those masts.
After a long time, Zhu Lingyun withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Chen Qiao without saying anything. This martial artist was not very fond of Chen Qiao... Of course, Chen Qiao couldn't stand this guy either, but this guy had been in the position of Zhennan Jiedushi and had a deep backstage. It was troublesome to seize his military power for the time being and involved too much. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, Chen Qiao did not intend to quarrel with him.
There was a mast there, and did the Zhou people set up ambush in the reeds?Zhu Lingyun was timid.
Chen Qiao said: There are not many naval troops in the Zhou army on the river. They are now attacking Jingkou. Where can there be any naval troops that can fight?There is no waterway connection between Ankou and the heart of the Central Plains, so there will be no elite navy troops. At most, it is a group of temporary mobs, and they have only built a few broken ships.I see, those masts are just suspicious soldiers, scaring us and delaying the time of the eastward advance.
Even the martial artists did not refute his remarks, and everyone thought it was quite reasonable.
But Chen Qiao immediately said: If General Zhu is afraid, wouldn’t it be enough to send someone to see him now?
As soon as these words were spoken, the warriors immediately showed contemptuous ridicule.
One of them blurted out: Wankou is a stronghold of Zhou people, and they are surrounded by their people. How can we send people there temporarily?Mr. Chen said it lightly.
Chen Qiao thought to himself, what have you done before the army is in your hands?
He is still a very thoughtful person and is not angry because of a mockery... He is self-aware and is originally a civil servant and has never had military experience. It is normal not to understand the specific details of these marches and wars, and there is nothing shameful.
A person next to him said: The Anhui water is full of reeds, so it is difficult to see clearly.Let’s not walk on the Jiajiang River in the north. How about going from the waterway in the south?
Zhu Lingyun sneered: If there are really a large number of ambush troops in Wankou, let’s leave it alone and drive directly to Chizhou, wouldn’t we leave behind for others to beat him?
He walked back and forth with the railing for a long time, but he really couldn't see anything when he saw it.Chen Qiao only saw a piece of reeds and a mast faintly exposed in the reeds. He could not see the flowers at all.
Drive the ship forward and order the fleet ahead to tighten.I'll get closer and take a look.Zhu Lingyun ordered.
Chen Qiao no longer said anything. He came to supervise the war, but the war's general Zhu Lingyun had the final say. He did not want to interfere too much.
So the ship accelerated, crossed the warship in front, and drove forward.
At the same speed, Chen Qiao felt like he was riding the wind and waves when he stood upstairs. The snow was not heavy, and the wind was northeastern wind, and the robe and clothes were tightly attached to his body.
A group of ships gradually entered Jiajiang.Although the Yangtze River is wide, this place is separated by Jiangxinzhou, and the surface of the river gradually becomes narrower.
After a long time, I approached Ankou and saw clearly that the wooden poles in the reeds were moving slowly, and it turned out to be very similar to the mast.Chen Qiao was also puzzled. Did the Zhou army ambush a large number of ships on the Anhui River?
At this moment, a large sail suddenly rose to the mast. Usually the sails were taller than the hull. For a moment, it seemed as if countless large ships suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water.
Seeing this, Zhu Lingyun's face changed and he blurted out: There is indeed an ambush!
Chen Qiao had never fought a war, but he was a little more calm and reminded: General Zhu, don’t be anxious. Even if there are ambushes, he will come to us head-on.General Zhu has thousands of warships and more than 100,000 troops in his hands. What's so scary?
After hearing this, Zhu Lingyun calmed down a little and hurriedly said: Beat the drums and prepare for the battle!
The sound of drums was making a big sound everywhere, and many crossbowmen here climbed upstairs and lined up beside the generals.
Zhu Lingyun ordered again: Our ship will turn around and walk back.
Chen Qiao frowned. He had not intended to interfere in military affairs, but he always felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help it. He said: The biggest general is on this ship. If the general turns around and runs, it will cause turmoil in the morale ahead!Since you find the enemy, you are about to run away, you shouldn't come...
I have my own sense of responsibility!Zhu Lingyun was furious. Can you, a civil servant, shut up on the battlefield?!I am now calling on the army, and there are a group of crows croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croak
Chen Qiao's face turned pale when he heard it. Even the emperor would not speak to him like this in the morning, and almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood.Seeing a sail ahead, he gritted his teeth and stopped him from attacking.
On this ship, there is a very high flagpole, a square central army flag is hung on it, and there are several flags on both sides fluttering in the wind.
The hull has slowly turned around and gradually crossed the river.
There was also chaos on the warships in my home, and I could see many people running.
At this moment, the reeds fell one after another, and two huge sails in front gradually floated out of it.Soon the true corpses of the two ships finally appeared in sight.
Suddenly, Chen Qiao's eyes widened!
That is not a ship, at most it is a shoddy raft with sails hanging behind it.
I'm afraid there is really no decent warship in Wankou. Although this raft is simple, it is big enough... Chen Qiao's visual analysis is at least dozens of feet wide and dozens of feet long!
A big city like Jiangning City has a tall wall of only two or three feet high.
And those two rafts are at least ten times the length of the city wall!
The huge size suddenly emerged from the reeds, making people feel as if an ancient monster emerged from under the water.
There was no one on the raft, and there might be someone behind where the sails were controlled.The entire raft was filled with reeds, thatch and firewood, and it looked like two small hills were moving.
It must be difficult for the people of Zhou to gather and tinker with so much cooking materials, and I'm afraid there have been premeditations for a long time.
What do they want to do?
At this time, the blind man could see that he wanted to burn the Southern Tang army with fire... After the Battle of Red Cliffs occurred on the Yangtze River, when he encountered a water battle, he seemed to have no other tactics if he didn't want to attack the fire.
However, it is really terrifying to pile up so much burning materials on it. The key is that it is the northeast wind now, and it is a good time for Zhou army to come over!
The soldiers of the Southern Tang army on the warship were shocked, and everyone looked at the monsters over there, their faces filled with fear.
Although the army is still six hundred miles away, it doesn't take too long to break through this line of defense.
This line of defense occupied by the Zhou army mainly includes a stronghold: the Ankou in the north of the Yangtze River, that is, the Ankou in the river, with a water and land stronghold operated by the Zhou army; Chizhou in the south of the Yangtze River, with cities and water camps occupied by the Zhou army.
