Lord of the House

(asking for a red ticket)

The Ganshui River in the western part of the Nanyang Basin flows southwardly. Under the setting sun, the waves are sparkling, as if thousands of gold coins are shining, making the corpses floating on the river less dazzling.

The main city of Nanyang is located on the west bank of Ganshui, but after Liang Chengchong entered the main Nanyang, he adopted the means of building a city by crossing a river, and built a new small city on the east bank of Ganshui, standing on the river with the main city. The horns are used to enhance the overall defense capability of Nanyang City.

Shewenzhuang was sitting in the car, slowly heading south along the avenue on the west bank of the Ganshui River, passing Luofengpo, just looking at Nanyang City, which is a dozen miles away, pointing to the east and west cities of Nanyang, and straddling the horse beside him. Hu Zongguo and Nahe Azige, who were on the line, said: "The so-called Ten Tigers of Liangmen, only the Hou Liang Chengchong of the nearby township is still worthy of the name..."

Hu Zongguo smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Liang Chengyi got his name from a young man, but he stayed in the frontier army for a few years? If Liang Chengchong was not affected by the battle of Chen Tangyi, he had to retire with his father Liang Xi, and the Liang family would not be in Chongguan Qi. Pushing Liang Chengyi out in the 1980s - pushing Liang Chengyi out would be a big disaster. When Liang Xi guarded Shandong, Liang Chengyi couldn't compete for Liang Chengchong's heir status, so he was naturally reluctant to give up Hezhong Mansion and concentrated his troops to guard Jinan. When the troops were scattered, it was the Liang family. The failure is a direct failure. Liang Chengchong has been in the frontier army for many years, but he has actually accumulated some military exploits and has some ability to manage the army. After the defeat in Shandong and the unsustainable situation in Hehuai, Lin Fu supported Liang Chengchong in Nanyang, and he also valued it. This. However, Liang Chengchong probably never thought that Lin Fu would give up Nanyang so decisively this time..."

Some abilities do not mean strong abilities.

Few of them are easy to compete with each other, but it doesn't mean that there is no competition between them.

In the later period of Emperor Chongguan, Li Zhuo was the only mainstay who regarded the Yue court's ability to turn the tide. She Wenzhuang thought that he would take a corner and compete with him for ten years, and he had not fallen behind. , isn't it about to fight Huaidong like a dog?

Shewenzhuang thought sadly in his heart, and secretly said: Although Liang Chengchong has some ability, how can he be the opponent of Donghaihu?

Even Yue Lengqiu, Dong Yuan, Hu Wenmu, and Zhang Han, who are all shrewd and penetrating people, cannot compete with Lin Bing head-on after Huaidong takes the initiative.

The pattern of the north and the south competing for the hegemony has been formed, and the only one who can contend and defeat Huaidong is Beiyan.

Looking at the political affairs of Beiyan, Emperor Tianming can be regarded as one of the few wise monarchs in history, but unfortunately he has not seen it, and he does not know who will be killed between him and Lin Fu. Or, will the pattern of confrontation between the North and the South continue for a long time?

Liang Chengchong fought against various tribes of Yandong in the frontier army in his early years, and he had some reputation, but the younger generation of generals of Nahe Azig had no impression of Liang Chengchong, so Shewenzhuang and Hu Zongguo did not interject when discussing Liang Chengchong.

Accompanied by Hu Zongguo and Nahe Azige, Shewenzhuang came to the outside of Nanyang City. As soon as the carriage came up Luofeng Slope, hundreds of horses came out of the camp and came here. Tian Chang, the general who represented the She family's generals to besiege Nanyang, got off his horse, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Tian Chang pays respects to the Governor..."

After winning Xinye, Shewenzhuang officially accepted Yan Ting's enlistment and was conferred the title of King of Fujian.

Shewenzhuang picked Tian Chang up and asked, "Has Prince Mu been to Beiying?"

"When Tian Chang came to welcome the Governor, he heard that Prince Mu was not far from the Beiying, so he must have just arrived in the Beiying." Tian Chang said.

"Then you can follow me to welcome Prince Mu." Shewenzhuang said.

As the coach of the West Road Army, Ye Jiluorong has been in Fangcheng before, and Shewenzhuang has not had the opportunity to meet Yejiluorong yet; this time, Shewenzhuang took the initiative to meet Yejiluorong.

Surrounded by hundreds of cavalry, the group circled into the camp in the south of the city, took a detour from outside the west city, and galloped towards the camp in the north of Nanyang City.

On the west bank of the water, from Luofengpo to the north, all the way to the foot of Nanyang City, there are endless camps. The camps were built one after another, stretching for several miles. Tian Changsuo led the extravagant family of 30,000 soldiers and horses, all stationed in the south of Nanyang City, responsible for attacking the main city of Nanyang from the south.

On the north side of Nanyang, there are about 30,000 soldiers and horses, the main force of Zhou Fan's army.

There are also 10,000 cavalry led by Meng Anchan stationed in the west of Nanyang, a total of 70,000 cavalry from south, south, north and west, surrounded the main city of Nanyang on the west bank of the Ganshui River.

On the east bank of the Qianshui River, apart from a few small camps, there was no large group of troops assembled.

Surrounded by three towers.

Luo Xiancheng sent troops out of Tongbai Mountain and into Xinyang. Instead of sending troops from Shouzhou, Dong Yuan ordered Cai Yong to abandon Luoxian and other counties in the southeast of Xinyang and stick to Xinyang City. cut off.

Even if Huaidong will eventually send troops to help Nanyang, Nanyang's troops will need to survive the most difficult early stage.

After Xinye sent troops to capture the She family, Liang Chengchong had no choice but to give up Fangcheng, Wuguan and other peripheral fortresses, and concentrated the peripheral troops to Nanyang and Biyang, where they fought stubbornly and waited for the last chance to serve.

It is not that Liang Chengchong was reluctant to give up Nanyang at this time, but that the She family had already won Xinye, and from Xinye into the hinterland of Nanyang Mansion, the soldiers cut directly into the plain on the east bank of the water between Nanyang and Biyang, which was very convenient. . At that time, under that kind of situation, Liang Chengchong did not want to attack the flank for the troops and horses from Xinye of the She family when they retreated to the east, so he could only defend Nanyang City first.

In Nanyang City, Liang Chengchong still had 14,000 or 5,000 soldiers and horses. At the beginning of the war, nearly 100,000 people fled into Nanyang City. At this time, Liang Chengchong was also recruited to help defend the city. At the western foot of Tongbai Mountain and Biyang City, led by Yuan Guizheng, they gathered troops and horses withdrawn from Wuyang and Fangcheng, as well as more than 10,000 troops and tens of thousands of people.

If Huang Binghao was able to contain the tens of thousands of Huaidong Army elites in the hinterland of Jiangxi in Yuanzhou, Beiyan and the She family would join forces and naturally besiege Nanyang City until the day they ran out of food.

But Huang Binghao was too pustulous in Yuanzhou, and he didn't hold on for half a month, so he asked Lin Fu to take the whole territory of Yuanzhou, forcing Beiyan and Shejia to take Nanyang City before the main force of Huaidong went north. Completely open the channel from Nanyang to the south.

Liang Chengchong ran Nanyang for some time. In his early years, he followed his father to guard the border, and was known for his good defense of the city.

Although Nanyang soldiers and horses are not capable of field battles, they have a city to defend, especially since most of the soldiers' families are in Nanyang City, their will to defend the city is still quite firm, and they have not been completely destroyed.

If Nanyang was besieged to death, his escape route was cut off, and Liang Chengchong saw the hope of Huaidong's reinforcements going north, maybe he would lead 100,000 soldiers and civilians to defend Nanyang City for help.

If you want to storm Nanyang City before the main force of Huaidong goes north, Shewenzhuang can't estimate how much he will pay? At least the worst result is something that neither Shewenzhuang nor Ye Jiluorong can accept.

From the west bank of Ganshui, the main city of Nanyang is encircled, but the new city on the east bank is not surrounded, and even a small number of surveillance troops and horses are deployed on the east bank of Ganshui, just to let the soldiers and civilians of Nanyang see a possibility of retreating east to Biyang to weaken the will and determination of the Nanyang military and civilians to defend the city.

Zhou Fan and Tian Chang led their troops to surround Nanyang City from the west bank of the Kanshui River for nearly 20 days. Although they did not launch a violent offensive, they drove the civilians to fill in the outer trenches of Nanyang City, and built a long wall on the periphery. In the siege of the city, Liang Chengchong was unable to send troops out of the city to fight back in the main city.

On the south and north sides of Nanyang City, Tian Chang and Zhou Fan drove the civilians and filled in four siege roads each, leading to the head of Nanyang City. Over the past few days, thousands of lives have been filled in on the siege road, but it is really useful. The casualties caused by Nanyang are not that many - outside the long wall of the siege, there are more than ten heavy The catapult was erected there. During the war, there would be hundreds of people behind each heavy catapult, pulling the giant cables together to smash the boulders weighing more than 100 catties into Nanyang City.

Azhige followed Shewenzhuang and others to the Beida Camp to meet Ye Jiluorong. Along the way, he saw the army besieging the city. He didn't know or admit that after meeting the Shejia family, their siege ability was greatly strengthened.

In the early years, the tribes of Yandong were invincible in cavalry battles, but it was always difficult to attack the fortified city with troops and horses.

Ye Jiduodi was under the city of Yangxin and defeated Lin Fu. It is not so much that Lin Fu was good at defending the city, it was better to say that they were clumsy in attacking the city. When entering the customs, Emperor Tianming personally led the army to storm Jinhai, and it was extremely laborious. It is better to say that Huaidong voluntarily gave up Jinhai City instead of attacking Jinhai City.

In the later period, Chen Zhihu, Zhou Fan, and Yuan Lishan joined the army, and the newly attached army became the main force of the southern expedition, and the siege ability was greatly improved, but it was not perfect.

Before the Nanyang War was launched, the She family joined forces, and the She family gave them all the siege skills. uukanshu. Com's offensive and defensive tactics took another big step forward; this also made it possible for the Yanshe coalition to storm Nanyang City, which was held by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in a short period of time.

Of course, Azige is no longer the impulsive boy he used to be - the She family is so skilled in offensive and defensive tactics, with as many as 200,000 troops at the peak, but he lost his armor and armor to Huaidong on the Eastern Front, and finally had to give up in a hurry Jiangxi crossed the river and fled north, how strong is the strength of the Huaidong Army?

Laying down Nanyang is the first step to gain a strategic advantage on the western front. In the end, it is necessary to compete with Huaidong troops and horses on both sides of the Yangtze River.

In addition to leaving a deep impression of the Jiangdong Zuo Army, the predecessor of the Huaidong Army in Yannan, Azige did not participate in the Xuzhou war, so he still lacked an intuitive understanding of the strength of Huaidong after the real rise.

Although he lacked an intuitive understanding of the Huaidong Army at this time, Azige would never despise Huaidong again.

After the Battle of Xuzhou, Emperor Tianming decided to give up the east line, and decided to bypass the Xu Si line of defense defended by Huaidong and seek a breakthrough in the west line, which caused great controversy within the Yanting. Although Azig had no status at that time, he was a firm supporter of the Western Front strategy. In the past two years, he has also been fighting on the Western Front with Ye Ji Luorong.

The Huaidong Army is good at defending the city, which is fully reflected in the battles in Yannan and the Jinhai War in the later period, and it is almost a recognized fact that the Huaidong Water Camp is invincible in the East China Sea. The Xusi line of defense has fortified cities and Huaisi and other rivers crisscrossing it. As Ajige, who has had contact with the Huaidong Army, he has no confidence to break through the Xusi line of defense that the Huaidong elites are holding from the front.

The real decisive victory should be on the western front. As long as the army breaks through the Nanyang Pass and seizes Jingzhou in one go, it will be able to occupy the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Huai River at the same time, and gain the strategic initiative over Huaidong.
