District 9

Gu Taixian's suicide directly caused the collapse of the Alliance. Although many remaining generals were dissatisfied, they were unable to save themselves. Especially Gu Taixian's troops on the eastern front. After hearing that the commander-in-chief died, many grassroots troops chose to surrender.

When the gates of Qufu City were opened, most of the generals of the Alliance chose to surrender. Only those with more extreme and stubborn personalities also chose to commit suicide after knowing that they would die. This method was used to ensure that direct members of the family would not be purged. .

The chaos in the Eighth District was completely put down, but Qin Yu was not happy because the power was tilted to his father-in-law's side. Instead, he was still worried about the battle situation at Beifengkou, and his strongest ally Wu Tianyin was struggling to support him.

That night.

Qin Gulin's regiment met in Qufu and quickly formulated the next battle plan.

All troops in the Sichuan Northeast Theater, led by Wang Henan, immediately rushed to support Beifengkou.

at the same time.

The main force of the Lin Clan in the Eighth District quickly mobilized 80,000 troops from the original eastern battlefield and the direction of Xinyang to go south, preparing to support Li Zhan and attack the Chen Clan.

This is almost all the troops that Lin Yaozong can mobilize, because there are still a large number of captive soldiers from the Alliance in Qufu, Xinyang and other areas that need to be guarded. The higher-ups dare not use these people, so they can only detain them until they are sorted out slowly after the war and new military officers are sent to do political work, so that they can slowly evolve into their own troops.

On the other side, Huo Zhenghua, Yang Liandong, and other neutralist officers were also sent to the southern battlefield. Excluding battle attrition, the number of troops was about 40,000.

As a result, the Eighth District troops of 120,000 people, plus the Li War Department of more than 60,000 people, formed a massive coalition to fight against Chen, and continued to advance southward, preparing to crush the Chen clique's dream of resistance.

At this moment, the coalition forces with Qin Yu as the link showed their due strength. Lin Faction, Sichuan Mansion, Ninth District, Beifengkou, plus Gu Yan's Northwest Advance Army, both in terms of cohesion and military In terms of subsequent strength replenishment, it is much higher than that of the Chen and Zhou systems.

If the Alliance hadn't rebelled in the Eighth District, the war for unification might have ended long ago, because almost all the leading figures on the Alliance side had close emotional or family ties with Qin Yu himself, and to be realistic, they were still As the heir to power, the possibility of rebellion among subordinate troops was too small, so after the alliance was defeated, the coalition troops had already shown themselves to be the king's division.

And this is also the reason why Chen Jun, who is relatively rational in politics, did not join the rebellion with the Chen clan, because he believed from the bottom of his heart that after the unification of the nine districts, Qin Yu appointed Li Zhan as the commander of the first theater, and then changed his position with Zheng Kai After becoming in-laws, Sichuan Mansion has completely risen and is unstoppable.

…

After the army went south.

The only way out for the Chen faction is to unite with Zhou Xingli and stick to the seventh district, because the alliance has completely evaporated. They have no allies in the mainland and are already in a state of isolation.

As for Zhou Xingli, although he has a lot of army troops, most of them are the incorporated family regiments, such as the Feng Clan, the Sha Clan, and some armed forces in the area to be planned.

These troops each have their own ideas and are not easy to command completely. In addition, the system has less territory, which means that their subsequent recruitment of troops is a big problem, and the military industry cannot bear the consumption of a long-term war.

Therefore, even if Zhou Xingli and Chen Zhongren did not deal with each other, they would have to send troops helplessly to protect the safety of Nanhu at this moment. Otherwise, they would be in danger once Chen Zhongren fell.

Based on the above reasons, after Zhou Xingli learned that Gu Taixian had committed suicide, he immediately adjusted his combat strategy and asked the main force of the Zhou clan in Luhuai headquarters and the main force of the Xu clan near Jiujiang to rush to the aid of Nanhu City.

With the cooperation of Chen Zhongqi, the Chen faction also responded cooperatively to the Zhou faction's troop deployment. They originally went to support the main force of the Alliance, but before the Lin faction, Huo Zhenghua and other coalition forces arrived on the battlefield, they had the right to attack the Seventh Alliance. They retreated towards the district and opened up their formation outside Jiujiang City, preparing to engage the enemy.

At this moment, both Chen and Zhou had stationed nearly 200,000 troops near Jiujiang. Their momentum seemed to be quite large, and they were far away from the main battlefield before, so they were very little consumed.

At this time, in order to avoid being blocked by the opponent's gate, Chen Jun's main force had collectively retreated to the south side of Nanhu, preparing to garrison troops on one side for defense.

…

Two days later.

Qin Yu received the latest battle report from Beifengkou. Although the reinforcements from District 9 and Xiang Zehao's defensive troops had arrived, they did not dare to rush into the main battlefield because the two sides were marching at different speeds. Otherwise, it would be a disaster. It is a refueling tactic, because the opponent has a main force of 150,000 troops advancing in a group, and if you divide your troops to block the attack, it will be easily crushed in a short time.

In desperation, the Wu faction, which suffered heavy losses, could only retreat on a large scale, reintegrate with the rear reinforcements, and prepare for a counterattack.

When Qin Yu arrived in Jiangzhou, he felt depressed to an extremely low point after seeing the battle report from Beifengkou and the suicide note written by Wu Tianyin.

In the war room.

Lin Cheng said bluntly: "Obviously, the Chen clique still has illusions about victory! They feel that it is not a problem for them to join forces with the Zhou clique to hold on to the seventh district, so the situation we are facing now is that we cannot push into the seventh district. We won’t be able to fully support Beifengkou, our troops will be stretched by several lines, and our advantages will not be reflected!”

Qin Yu stood up suddenly, looked at the battle map, and said with very clear thoughts: "Damn it!! Now that things have come to this, Zhou Xingli wants to jump out and be the savior of the Chen family! Then I will grant his wish! He is not Do you want to keep the Chen clan? Then let’s not fight the Chen clan, and just focus all our efforts on Lao Zhou! I don’t believe it. Chen and Zhou have been fighting for so many years, and how can they be willing to do it for each other in such a short period of time? Go to hell!”

Huo Zhenghua stood up after hearing the sound: "This idea is interesting!"

"The large army will attack Jiujiang at night! Fight Xu Hancheng to death!" Qin Yu pointed at the map and said: "Order the Qi Lin Department in Lu District to advance with all their strength and attack Li Bokang's Department! The two lines must be in short distance. Give me a painful beating within a short period of time, Lao Zhou! Put all the firepower that was originally intended to be used on Chen Department on his Zhou Department! Cnm, doesn’t he like to stretch out his hands? I’ll chop off his hand first!”

"yes!"

The generals stood up and saluted.

That night, the Li War Department and the Lincheng Department sent troops from Jiangzhou to Jiujiang.

At the same time, Qi Lin's troops, who originally stood still, began to attack Li Bokang's defense area!

After Zhou Xingli heard the battle report on the two fronts, he was a little confused: "He's from Male Gobi!! How could Qin Yu think that it's all right?! The Chen faction is the internal troubler, so why didn't he leave the main force of the Chen faction to fight? ?”
