Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1298
After the soldiers of the Jin army in Fufujin left the battlefield and withdrew from the camp, they did not immediately flee in all directions in a panic. They used fire to ignite some sentry positions on the south side of the camp, and then roughly divided them into two groups. A small team of about 30 people was then led by the captain, and they each chose a direction to fly away.

Under the thick night, the sound of hurried hooves can be heard from a long distance in the field.Although these soldiers of the Jin Army fled the battle, they were definitely not greedy for life and fear of death. In addition to caring for human relationships, they were also charged with the task of notifying all parties of the detailed enemy situation.

Although Gao Zhong had already sent envoys to warn the surrounding area after he noticed the traces of the enemy, but before the actual battle, the enemy's military situation that he could learn was very shallow. Will become an active death.

Fufen is a very important navy camp in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Even though most of the navy had been transferred away before, there were still complete camp defense facilities and nearly [-] guards, enough to support it under the attack of multiple enemy troops.But this time the enemy's strength is really too strong, it's really unpredictable for all sides to come rushing without understanding the situation.

The Yellow River itself, especially Henan, is actually not suitable for long-term use as the front line of the confrontation between the North and the South, because apart from the natural dangers of the Yellow River, there is a flat river below, and there is almost no danger to defend except for the only commanding height in Taishan County.

Although there is a similar situation in Hebei, don't forget that Hebei is backed by Youyan, which is rich in elite cavalry, and has large-scale and highly mobile cavalry roaming within the territory.From a strategic point of view, once the Yellow River is used as the front line of confrontation, the south will be at a disadvantage.

Before that, Shihu was not eager to launch a strong offensive along the river line. Apart from its own worries, it probably hoped that Hebei's strategic advantages in this way could gradually expand over time.

In fact, if the Jin army hadn't taken root firmly in the Fangtou at the heart of Hebei, and simply relied on the river line, it would definitely have fallen into a passive situation. Only by continuing to attack northward at the first time, could it be possible to turn passivity into initiative.But if this is the case, all the energy of the Jin army must be invested between Henan and Hebei, and the entire western front strategy will not be possible.

Therefore, the real strategic location is not reflected in the victory or defeat of a war for a while, but the long-term impact on the general trend of the whole world.Although Xie Ai of Fangtou has made no great achievements in recent years, because he can firmly root in Fangtou, it is also one of the prerequisites for Xingtai to be able to calmly launch the western front strategy.

Although Fangtou possessed great strategic advantages, Wang Shi was not completely defenseless in Henan.In addition to the powerful navy able to fully utilize the natural moat advantage of the great river, there are also various military mansions and garrisons in the heart of Henan.

When the defeated troops of Fufujin fled out of a range of tens of miles, rangers could already be seen running around on the country roads, and they verified their identities with military calls from a distance. They met and communicated with each other. The office came to visit in a hurry either because it received the previous emergency, or because it noticed the fire in Sujinjin.

When they learned that Fujinjin had been attacked by tens of thousands of enemy troops at night and had fallen, these soldiers could not help but be horrified.But even if they knew the news, they didn't have the strength to fight back and take back Fufengjin at the moment.The number of these people ranged from a dozen to a few hundred, and even if they couldn't hold on to the Jinjin, it didn't make much sense for them to rush over.

There are no large-scale military garrisons within dozens of miles near Fufujin.This is because the terrain near the 碻磝 is low-lying, and it is not an absolutely dangerous place suitable for holding on.

The reason why it was selected as a large base of the Wangshi Navy is mainly because of its geographical location, with Jishui on the top and Juyeze on the bottom.Jishui itself is an important channel connecting the Yellow River and the Huaihe River, and also an important channel for the transportation of goods from the Huaixia River to the north. The reason why the stone is heavy is not because of the danger of the location, but because of the favorable location.

The soldiers from all walks of life who came to meet the defeated army in Fufenjin also knew that the army was on fire. They first led these defeated soldiers back to their respective camps, and left some soldiers to continue cruising near Fufenjin to watch for more There are many enemies, and then spread the news layer by layer.

Thanks to Wang Shi's meticulous and meticulous arrangement, such a relay relay of news, less than two hours after the fall of Fufenjin, Li Hong, who was guarding the sliding platform, and Cao Naju, who was guarding Juyeze below Fufen, had already learned got the news.And Xin Bin, who led his troops from Taishan County to reinforce Fufen, also learned that Fufen had fallen in Jibei County after dawn.

These troops are the largest army of the king's division between Qing and Yan. Li Hong on the sliding platform has the most support, with nearly [-] troops, but the number of defenders on the sliding platform is only [-]. They are all government soldiers distributed in Chenliu, Jiyin, and Liang Guoneng counties and counties in Henan.

As for Cao Na in Juyeze, there are now more than [-] people. He was originally in charge of water transportation on the front line of Jishui, but his soldiers are elite, with both water and land.

They were all terrified when they heard the news, especially Li Hong who was skating.Because the situation of the skating platform is similar to that of the scorpion, the navy has just been transferred away, and the strength is a little empty, and the soldiers from the various counties that were recruited and supplemented are still on the way.

However, the skating platform has some advantages, that is, it is not separated from the city and the city like the sledge, the city is on the city, relatively speaking, the defense force is stronger.

But even so, Li Hong did not dare to neglect.There were 3000 soldiers on the sliding platform, including [-] sailors. When the news of the fall of Fengfen swept all the way, all the military houses along the way also mobilized elite soldiers to follow the news all the way to the sliding platform. Taiwan has added [-] troops.

So Li Hong made a decisive decision and first sent all the three thousand sailors out of the river, especially approaching the position of the 碻磝, assuming a posture of about to launch an attack.On the one hand, this is to deter the invading land, so that they will be threatened in the back, and they will not dare to plunder southward, and on the other hand, it is also to find out whether there are other enemy troops cooperating with the southern intruders.

In addition, Li Hong sent people to send messages upstream quickly, especially to Fangtou.

Although Fangtou is located far away from the water and does not put out the nearby fire, its existence itself is a thorn in the heart of Jie Guo. As long as Fangtou cooperates and makes a gesture here, Jie Guo will not dare to go all out no matter what kind of big moves are brewing downstream. When going out, you need to keep one eye on Fangtou all the time, so as to relieve the pressure on several towns in the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Although Li Hong was also worried about the current situation, he didn't dare to attack without authorization. One was that he didn't know how much troops Jie Guo had invested in this time, and whether the sliding platform was one of his goals. In the case of firmly guarding the sliding platform, take into account the recapture of the stone.

Between Qing and Yan, it was Shen Mu from Taishan County who really played the leading role. Once he led his troops to swoop out, other kings from all walks of life would be moved by the news, and they would be able to form an encirclement trend.

Therefore, before the specific news came from Taishan County, Li Hong did not dare to act rashly. At the same time, he also ordered all the soldiers under the command that those who could reach the sliding platform within three days of the military period should speed up the march and strive to reach the sliding platform as soon as possible. If it is outside the three-day period, there is no need to rush to the sliding platform, and the nearest army mansion will coordinate defense, resisting or about to invade the Jie army on the spot.

Cao Na of Juyeze should be more active in dealing with it.He is currently short of troops, but there are several large military mansions around Juye Ze, and the mansions are assembled in no time.Cao Na handed over Juyeze's own defense to the surrounding generals, and he led all five thousand soldiers under his command to board the ship and go directly up the Jishui River, so as not to leave the enemy a chance to gather and disperse to breathe.

At the same time, Cao Na did not forget to immediately report his response to Shen Mu in Taishan County.Although he led the army northward, he was destined not to leave Jishui. If he really wanted to form a blockade, he had to rely on the troops of Taishan County to weave a large net, so that he could turn it into a sharp knife and stab the stone.

As for Xin Bin in Jibei County, the [-] cavalry he led was originally intended to reinforce and defend together.But before reaching the realm, the 碻磝 had already fallen.Although the mobility of his troops is not weak, with [-] cavalry, it is obviously difficult to recapture the tens of thousands of Jie troops who came to attack from the south.

So Xin Bin didn't stick to the old order any more, and immediately changed his course and stationed directly at the Shimen upstream of Jishui.Shimen is a very important hub in the upper reaches of Jishui River. Although Xin Bin has few troops, he has strong mobility. Staying here can also serve as a frontline ferry in the upper reaches of Jishui River, and rely on Jishui to block the Jie army in Jishui On the north side of the water, to prevent its army from dispersing southeast.

In this case, all the people from all walks of life responded independently. Although they had not yet achieved coordination with each other, the second line of defense under the Yellow River and between Qingyan and Qingyan had initially taken shape.

Although the Jie army has captured Fufen, it does not mean that Qingyan's door is opened. How to attack next is the process that will most test the commanders of both sides.

If the Jie army wants to continue to expand the results of the battle, they must seize the opportunity to quickly select an attack target and concentrate on defeating it before the Wang Shi's various forces reach a coordination.

Once one of the east, west and south roads is breached, regardless of the subsequent development of the battle, there will be a real gap in the Jin army's defense in Henan, and the fertile land between Qing and Yan will be regarded as under the front and claws of the Jie army. Be honest.

If Shi Xuan could not seize this fleeting opportunity and let the blockade of these three parties form a thread, then his army would be completely besieged in Fengfen, and the greatest significance of his attack on Fengfen would no longer exist. Even if we continue to storm and break through one side of the Jin army's three-sided siege, not to mention the price we will pay, we will directly hit the strong army from Taishan County sitting behind the town, and there is a high probability that the net will be broken and the fish will die situation.

Of course, Shi Xuan can also stick to the 碻磝, and then the army led by Shi Hu can cross the river without hindrance after arriving at the riverside. Using the 碻磝 as a breakthrough point, the army can continuously rush out of the river , and the Jin army fought a decisive battle between Qingyan.

Regardless of the outcome, the battlefield has been advanced to Henan. This is also a great initiative for Jie, which has been blocked in Hebei since the rejuvenation of the country.What's more, when the Jie Kingdom came south this time, the pursuit of victory was secondary, and the main purpose was to plunder. The large army forced the Jin army between Qing and Yan to gather on a large scale, and it was naturally difficult to defend the countryside.As long as the battlefield advances to Henan, it will be a victory!
However, the income of Fujin Jin was far lower than Shi Xuan's expectation, which also made him not confident about whether he could stick to it in the future, so he immediately recruited Shi Tao's troops on the other side of the river to increase his combat power. .
