Because Zhao Yucheng knew that the peasant army in Zhang Yuejing’s plan was responsible for blocking the southern route of Xiangyang Army and the northern and eastern routes were all solved by Henan Corps.
They will not only attack Xiangyang in the first wave, but also take Suizhou and Xinyang Army to completely surround Xiangyang Army and eat it in one bite.
However, although Song Jun in Xiangyang knew that the peasant army had launched an attack on its own initiative, he denied that the Jiujiang army and Ezhou army would be defeated.
They won’t even recognize that these two armies, 60 thousand people, were defeated in a month or so.
Xiangyang Song Jun stared nervously at the Henan Corps and didn’t notice the danger from the rear.
It was not until Xu Tong led the Second Division of the Peasant Army to attack Shouxian County, the governor of Yong County, along the Hanshui River, and split the troops to capture Jingmen and completely blocked Xiangyang Song Jun South Road that Xiangyang Song Juncai heard some wind and felt that there seemed to be something wrong behind it.
But at this moment Xu Tong has been eyeing up behind them and ready to go north.
Zhao Yucheng also sent an adventurous Zhang Xiaohu to forge ahead southward, and jiangling county planned to further attack Yiling and take the lead in blocking the Sichuan-Shu army’s way out of Sichuan.
The fierce offensive of the peasant army was unexpected by the local government in the Southern Song Dynasty. After they faced the downfall of the Jiujiang army and Ezhou army, the peasant army was completely rooted, and it was impossible for them to threaten to defend successfully.
It’s okay for the local government to bully the common people with military force. If you really want to face the peasant army, it’s flat-headed brother who fights the grassland lion alone. You can say that you have commendable courage and practice hard for the next life. Don’t be stupid again.
When the peasant army faced a well-organized army and its armor-catching rate was even higher than that of regular Song Jun, they were externally moistened.
They also dare not surrender for fear of being liquidated by the list. The only thing they can do is to run married with children and run the peasant army to attack from east to west. They are nervous and want to take refuge in Sichuan and Sichuan.
Officials and rich married with children escaped from the city, and the peasant army conquered the city one by one. The peasant army in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River set off an attack frenzy
When Xiangyang army in the edge area of this frenzy realized the problem in hindsight, they all controlled it, and the real Xiangyang magistrate Wang Yan finally arrived.
It is also a coincidence that Wang Yan rushed the peasant army to cut off the contact between the Sichuan-Sichuan war zone and the Jinghu war zone. At the last moment, he successfully left Sichuan and went smoothly to Xiangyang, which was not yet in war.
It was a severe situation that he took over by himself until he arrived in Xiangyang Prefecture to take office. He needed to adjust his troops, study the protection and replace Yao Zhong, and did a good job in Xiangyang’s three-dimensional defense.
Then it’s just like that. Anyway, it’s definitely impossible for the country to build the Yellow River. At this time, they can’t make it through the whole country.
But when he learned the latest military information after taking office, he was shocked.
What happened?
I just came from Jingmen, and now Jingmen has been captured by the thief army?
Isn’t the thief army Jiangnan West Road? Isn’t the battlefield Jiangnan West Road? Why did you call here? Why did you hit my home front?
Wang Yan, who is new here, was directly confused by the latest news before he understood the specific situation.
It was hard to stabilize his mood. He hurriedly asked about the specific situation and realized that the problem was too big.
At the beginning of March, the peasant army went to work with the Jiujiang army, and then the Ezhou army turned to the Xiangyang army for help because it was worried that the Jiujiang army could not carry it.
However, Joo Won ignored them because he was annoyed that the former Ezhou government added weapons to Yao Zhong’s Taiwan affairs. Later, there was no news in Ezhou.
But the new news is scary enough.
The peasant army has gone to Jingmen. Doesn’t this mean that the Ezhou army and Jiujiang army are almost finished?
The establishment of two armies of 60 thousand people is so finished?
Wang Yan looked at the military map with a face of Meng circle.
Don’t say that Wang Yan has circled him, and the generals of Xiangyang Army have almost circled him. They didn’t expect that such a thing would happen directly behind them in less than a month.
Are Jiujiang Army and Ezhou Army Pigs?
Are they the kind of pigs who don’t fight and know how to escape?
Sixty thousand people! Two armies! Lost to a bunch of mud legs?
After a short period of confusion, Wang Yan, who was experienced in many battles, recovered his composure. He carefully analyzed the intention of a peasant army to March and the information known at present and reached a conclusion.
A somewhat alar conclusion
"These rebels are breaking our retreat!"
Wang Yan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Xiangyang to the west is a mountainous road in Qinling Mountains. It is impossible for the army to retreat to the north, and the country to the south is the best retreat, but it was cut off by rebels."
A speaker will speak immediately.
"That to the east? Isn’t the east still under our control? "
Wang Yan looked up at him coldly.
