Lord of the House

When forced to, the Hengshan line of defense could not be given up.

She Feixiong thought silently in his heart, but didn't say it; once such remarks spread, it would seriously dampen his morale.

At this time, dark clouds were rolling in the sky, and the sky was overcast. Seeing that the rain was not small, She Feixiong did not rush back to prevent the wall rain, but strode up to a high place and waited for the rain to fall.

The scouts couldn't penetrate, so if you wanted to know whether the Huaidong Army had done anything in the upper reaches of Shanxi, you could also tell from the changes in the water level after the rain.

Hu Qi took the robe, Deng Yu took one and handed it to She Feixiong: "Young Commander..."

She Feixiong took the rain scorpion and put it on the armor, looking at the river surface that was smashed by the raindrops. At this point, he has been able to fully understand the strategy adopted by Huaidong: Huaidong is going to push forward step by step, exhausting their resources in Jiangxi, in order to achieve the goal of dragging down the Zhejiang and Fujian troops.

They constructed a defense line at the jaws and Litang on the periphery of Changshan, while the Huaidong Army avoided the jaws and Litang, and found a new way. amount of resources to build a defense line.

The Huaidong Army pushed the front trenches to the Jiahe defense block, and launched a **** storm, forcing them to invest more resources to strengthen the fortress defense.

On the bright side, once the Huaidong Army builds a dam and builds a lake in the upper reaches of Shanxi River to store water, the front line of the Huaidong Army will also be within the impact range of the lake - but how big is the Huaidong Army? Loss?

The Huaidong Army transports 300,000 shi of materials into Quzhou every month, which is three times the amount that the luxury family invested in the Shangrao defense line.

Compared with the construction of the Hengshan line of defense, the Huaidong army invested more resources in Fenglinbu, Guanxiling and the front base in order to cross the Guanxi Ridge, which may be three or four times as much as the Zhejiang and Fujian troops invested in the Hengshan line of defense.

If the front trenches of the Huaidong Army collapsed, as long as there were no major losses to the troops, one or two more front trenches could be built; Taking advantage of the situation to push Hengshan and Shangrao, will the Zhejiang and Fujian troops still have the ability to build a line of defense in front of Hengshan?

In Shangrao, the Huaidong Army could endure such a consumption. Although the Zhejiang-Fujian Army consumed only one-third of the Huaidong Army, it had already been pushed to the brink of impending collapse.

The Huaidong Army actually continued the strategy of harassing the east coast of Fujian in the early years, using high-intensity military confrontation to consume the military potential here, to achieve the purpose of weakening and dragging down.

Moreover, Huaidong's actions were far more than that. When Jinghu and Chizhou sent troops to delay their troops in Jiangzhou, civil unrest and bandit disasters became more and more intense in the hinterland of southern Gansu, eastern Gansu and western Gansu. All of them were driven by Huaidong behind the scenes.

Back then, Li Zhuo made the Zhejiang and Fujian troops suffer, but he was barely able to fight evenly. Lin Fu's method of "subduing soldiers without fighting" really made people go from the tail spine to the top of the head. Can feel a deep chill.

Thinking of this, She Feixiong turned to Deng Yu and Wang Hui and said, "From now on, the supplies from Shangrao will be reduced by 20% and reserved for reserves!"

Wang Hui paled in horror, and said: "If you reduce it again, the daily ration of the soldiers will not be full of kilograms, and I am afraid that it will hurt morale!"

It's not that he's afraid of hurting morale, but that the military's food is increasingly reduced, and the lower-level soldiers have grown a lot of dissatisfaction - there was very little oil and water in the world, and adults were barely able to eat two catties of food a day, but now they only supply half of it every day, so what? Can the soldiers be satisfied?

The soldiers could still eat a pound of grain a day, and the nearly 30,000 people who were recruited for the defense, city, and war machine construction could only get less than 60% of the supply of the soldiers. These civilians were not able to eat their stomachs, and they had to bear extremely heavy labor every day. Wang Hui could almost see the naked anger and resentment in the eyes of these civilians.

The Huaidong Army is on the verge of a formidable attack, and they have to cut back on their rations. How can they fight this battle?

Deng Yu knew the painstaking efforts of She Feixiong.

Once the Huaidong Army builds a dam and builds a lake in the upper reaches of Shanxi, they will not be able to break out of the Jiahe blockage, so they can only reluctantly cut the Hengshan line of defense. At that point, even if they can successfully withdraw to Shangrao City, Shangrao's contact with the outside world will inevitably be cut off by the Huaidong Army, and it will be difficult to obtain supplies from the outside world. support until the end of the war.

It's just that Deng Yu suspects that they are too late. They have invested too much in the Hengshan defense line, and they are too deeply involved, and Hengshan has given up. - At this time, the abandonment of the Hengshan line of defense is unimaginable, and the morale is unimaginable, and there is a possibility that it will collapse!

The rain was sparsely falling, and She Feixiong made a decision in an unquestionable tone. Although Wang Hui felt deeply disturbed, that was all he could do.

It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, but the people all over Jiangxi are in chaos, and even if they can last beyond the harvest of winter wheat, the food and grass that can be collected will be limited.

The Zhejiang-Fujian Army has been unable to repel the war launched by Huaidong from the west of Zhejiang with its own combat power. It can only hope that the Beiyan cavalry will go south one day sooner. At that time, if Huaidong wants to protect the Jianghuai line of defense, it will be in Shangrao. The periphery must turn from offense to defense, so that more troops can be drawn north.

The rain was not heavy, but it continued intermittently, and there were other military affairs to be dealt with. She Feixiong couldn't hold the river all the time, so he was ready to lead his cavalry back to the east base of Jiahe. When he was about to enter the defense, a young general came over behind him on a horse, holding a bamboo knot in his hand, and shouted, "Father! The secret room finally came back, and the letter was hidden in this bamboo knot, and the child used it. The fishnet caught it, and I almost missed it..."

This young man was She Feixiong's second son, Shejiao. He was only sixteen years old at the time. He had been in the army with She Feixiong for two years. He handed over the bamboo knot in his hand.

When the Zhejiang-Fujian Army completely abandoned Zhejiang, they still sent some people to hide. Some of these people were cleaned up by the Huaidong Army after exposure, and some people pretended to be civilians to be recruited by the Huaidong Army as laborers, but the Huaidong Army's control over the periphery of Quzhou is becoming more and more strict, and these secret rooms want to pass the news. , it becomes increasingly difficult.

However, no matter how tight the Huaidong Army's blockade was, the secret room would have the opportunity to approach the Shanxi River, hide the secret letter in a bamboo branch, and flow down the river...

She Feixiong didn't borrow the secret letter and asked, "What news?"

She Jiao was stunned. He was standing by the river and caught the bamboo knot with the secret letter hidden in it. He hadn't had time to take it down, but he managed to get in touch with the secret room hidden in the Huaidong Army. The news is good or bad.

She Jiao took a knife and cut open the sealing wax at one end of the bamboo branch, and took out the secret letter that was rolled into a thin roll. After reading it, his face changed greatly.

She Jiao's face showed in Deng Yu's eyes. He took the secret letter and said in awe: "As the young commander expected, the water of Shanxi River was turbid before noon. It was indeed the Huaidong Army who threw rocks upstream to seal the river..."

Standing there, Wang Hui only knew that his back was chilled. He was full of confidence just now that he thought that the Huaidong Army would not be able to go to great lengths to build a dam and seal the river-I didn't expect that he would see a crueler side so soon!

She Feixiong didn't expect Di Yu Xian's joy at all, but with a bitter expression on his face, he spat out a mouthful of phlegm, trying to spit out the bitterness in his heart. The phlegm was bloodshot, but it was quickly washed away by the rain.

It is obvious that Huaidong has the most mature craftsmanship in building embankments and dams over the years. At this time, Huaidong assembled nearly 50,000 soldiers and civilians at the Guanxiling Camp, and built a dam in the upper reaches of Shanxi to intercept the river and create a lake. As long as the preparations are sufficient, it does not even take half a month.

How could Lin Bie not take advantage of occupying the upper reaches of the river to create a lake and water attack?

At this time, should we give up Jiahe to prevent blockages and retreat to Hengshan and Shangrao across the board?

She Feixiong suddenly hated that he was not decisive enough at this time. When Huaidong intended to open the Guanxiling passage, he would not invest so much in the construction of defense lines in the south of Hengshan.

Almost half of the materials accumulated in Shangrao were consumed on the Hengshan defense line. How can I be willing to give up at this time?

She Feixiong held down the saber on his waist, the veins between his wrist bones were exposed, and he could not wait to crush the ebony knife handle into pieces.

"Before the Jiahe River was blocked, the river valley was wide open. Even if the Huaidong Army intercepted the river upstream and built a lake, when they released the water, the water potential would weaken the upstream valley, and it might not really have a big impact on the Jiahe River blocking!" Deng Yu said.

Deng Yu had served as a farmer and was very familiar with the work of craftsmanship.

Although the Jiahe Anti-plug is built next to the river, it will never be so simple to accumulate enough water potential to directly collapse the Jiahe Anti-plug. It can even be said that even if the Huaidong Army built a dam upstream before the rainy season, it would not hold much water.

"The most important thing at the moment is to block the news, so that the military cannot be shaken?" Wang Hui said.

"How to block?" She Feixiong asked bitterly.

The Huaidong Army built a dam upstream, and the Shanxi River would soon be cut off. The flow of Shanxi has been cut off, so how can the news of the middle and lower ranks be blocked?

As for whether the water potential of the Huaidong Army in the upper reaches will directly pose a destructive threat to the Jiahe River blocking~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if the possibility is only 30% to 50%, She Feixiong has no confidence to gamble!

In fact, as long as the flow of Shanxi ceases, the upstream hanging lake will hang like a sharp sword above everyone's heads. As for this sharp sword not falling, what about the generals under the sharp sword? Can you feel at ease? How to fully resist the onslaught launched by the Huaidong Army in the former trenches?

Deng Yu and Wang Hui stared at She Feixiong, waiting for him to make a final decision.

I don't know when, another sergeant rushed to the riverside to report: "When it rained for three quarters, the river water did not rise by half, but fell by an inch!"

The water level does not rise but falls, which means that the upstream dam mouth has closed, and the news of the upstream closure of the river will soon spread in the army.

Whether to fight or retreat to Hengshan, you must make up your mind immediately. If you drag the Huaidong Army to the upper reaches of the river, it will be too late to make a decision - She Feixiong watched the rain gradually stop, and only The remaining rain foam was floating, and he took off his clothes and said, "Quickly order all the ships in the river to withdraw into the Xinjiang River. In addition, immediately send someone to call Shi and Jin and others to discuss military affairs!"

The Shanxi River will be cut off. I don’t want the boats in the river to be stranded and trapped in the river mud. They can only withdraw to the river mouth in the north. Next, the connection between Jiahe Anti-blockage and Hengshan City in the north can only be relied on by land. .

As soon as he entered the east gate, the police drum in Nancheng thumped loudly, and She Feixiong was so irritable that he wanted to stomp his feet. He should have been able to understand that they just wanted to give up the Jiahe defense and retreat to Shangrao. The Huaidong Army would not tell them to retreat calmly. At the moment, they could only rush to the southern city wall with Deng Yu and Wang Hui, whose faces were collapsed. Go and see what's going on over there.

Taking advantage of the rain to stop, a large group of Huaidong Army troops slowly came out from behind the trenches and pressed against the city wall, which was about to formally attack the city. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
