Chapter 13 March into Xiangyang
According to the discovery of the peasant army in Wuchang City, these lucky people confessed that Wuchang Song Jun had collapsed.
Many people killed each other, and many people rushed out of Wuchang city to the south and north after looting, and disappeared.
They hardly know how many living people are left in the city.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
Xu Tong took the dead people in the city to pile up, set fire to them and clean up the town. Only then did he find Song Jun, guarding here, and had already moved the residential area away. There were no residents in the city, which was fortunate.
The collapse of Song Jun in Wuchang represents the failure of the Song Ezhou army. After Xu Tong, the Ezhou army, launched a battle, it was wiped out in ten days or so. The process smoothly made Xu Tong feel that he was now leading troops to Lin’ an and there should be no problem.
He was only a teacher of 5,000 people, but he hung up 30,000 Song Jun and beat him so hard that Song Jun defeated himself without even seeing his face.
The meritorious service was delivered directly to the door, which is equivalent to
If Song Jun’s newly formed troops are all Ezhou army, let alone 151.5 million are all delivering vegetables, with the name of the army but no army soul, so the army has no ability to defend the country.
Xu Tong didn’t move on after he occupied Wuchang.
While he sent people to the east to investigate the situation of the peasant army in Jiujiang area, he also sent people back to Ezhou to ask him about the current military trend of Xiangyang Army after his departure.
He was very worried that Xiangyang army would send troops south to seize Ezhou after learning about the fall of Ezhou, so after taking Wuchang, he took his troops back and hurried back to Ezhou to strengthen Ezhou’s military strength.
Xiangyang army is different from Ezhou army. The main component is that the veterans of Sichuan, Sichuan, Song and Jin Dynasties belong to the Southern Song Dynasty and can best fight an army, otherwise they will not be released to Xiangyang as a strategic place to undertake defense.
This army doesn’t come too much. It takes five thousand people to drink a pot of Xu Tong.
Although I learned from the trial that Ezhou had offended Xiangyang Army face to face, didn’t Xiangyang Army consider it for itself in the face of the crisis at home and abroad?
Xu Tong was a little worried. After he returned to Ezhou, he was nervous and prepared to make preparations. Once he learned that Xiangyang army was in the south, he would temporarily assault the instructors in the central part of the United Army to give ideological education to Song Jun prisoners of war, and then expand the line of fire to strengthen the military defense of Ezhou.
But what he was worried about didn’t happen.
Because the army is not Song Jun.
Zhang Yuejing decided to give them another hand to attract the attention of Xiangyang army, considering that the peasant army is still slightly unable to coordinate the peasant army’s actions and facilitate them to complete their strategy as soon as possible.
Before his magic camp was in place, he once again made a big show in the border and made a big trend to divert the attention of Xiangyang army to the north.
This time, the martial arts was very excessive. The Henan Corps broke through the headquarters of the enemy’s first division and directly came to the border area of the Song Dynasty. It even directly entered the Guanghua Military Area of the Southern Song Dynasty to engage in water army martial arts.
This unusual move led the Guanghua Army to know that the army immediately went to the local area to negotiate with the military.
At the same time, Xiangyang is very uneasy and nervous, and the main forces quickly enter the state of defense and are ready to deal with the military threat at any time.
The new Xiangyang army is in control, and Wang Yan, the magistrate of Xiangyang, has not yet reached the people’s border. If the people are not in place, the Guanghua army can know that the army can temporarily go to the top.
On behalf of Wang Yanzhi, Joo Won  did not dare to make a mistake. He could immediately explain the situation to the court and then personally lead the elite department to the Guanghua military jurisdiction to watch the army and water army drill from a distance.
Xiangyang is now on the alert. If there is a military purpose, the defense forces will suddenly turn the exercise into a big attack, so they can go downstream and reach Xiangyang. The defense of Xiangyang will start immediately. There is nothing to say.
In order to avoid Song Jun reaction, from time to time, Joo Won  set up dozens of beacon towers from north to south along the Pishui River. Once the army was found to be downstream, it would quickly inform Xiangyang army of the news by holding the wolf smoke during the day and burning the fire later.
In such a tense situation, Joo Won  also received the news that Wang Shun was welcome to ask for help. Of course, he was not in a good mood to talk to him well. If he was turned over in a few words, he would no longer pester him and guard against Junnan wholeheartedly.
During this period, Xu Tong succeeded in raiding Ezhou, destroyed Ezhou Army and officially threatened Xiangyang Army students from the rear.
At that time, Xu Tong had divided his troops to capture Hanyang and Hanchuan, further consolidating the existing achievements of the peasant army.
So when Zhao Yucheng successfully destroyed Jiujiang army on March 23, two of the three main forces in the Jinghu theater in the Southern Song Dynasty were wiped out, leaving only the last one.
Zhao Yucheng got in touch with Xu Tong on the evening of March 23rd.
He was ecstatic when he learned that Xu Tong’s wave of fighting was as fierce as a tiger and directly abolished Ezhou’s army. He immediately sent Zheng He to listen to the remaining troops of the Second Division and quickly went to Ezhou to return to Xu Tong’s command.
Then he didn’t have the heart to continue to deal with the complicated aftermath of the war, so he entrusted these things to Du Qi, the vice president of the Renaissance Association, and asked him to take people to deal with these things, and he finally led his troops to Ezhou.
They came to cooperate with the Henan Corps to attack and destroy Xiangyang army and occupy Xiangyang to cut off the Southern Song Dynasty.
The 60,000 main force of the peasant army will March into Xiangyang from Ezhou and Hanyang together, threatening the retreat of Xiangyang army from the rear, and at the same time, Zhang Yuejing will dispatch the elite army of Henan Corps and the peasant army to launch a joint operation.
On March 25th, Xu Tong’s second division was in place, and Xu Tong’s hand in Ezhou regained 20,000 soldiers and horses, which immediately made the army attack.
Xu Tong decided to March west and then northwest along the Hanshui River, and he could go all the way to Xiangyang.
It can be said that at this moment, Xiangyang government has attacked the peasant army.
Before the war, Zhao Yucheng’s goal was to eat Xiangyang army, an elite division of the Southern Song Dynasty, as much as possible.
This elite division is half of the elite Sichuan-Sichuan army. If the Xiangyang army is eaten, it will be equivalent to destroying half of the strength of the Sichuan-Sichuan war zone in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is of great benefit to the post-Sino-Soviet Haisheng’s army south.
Xiangyang Army is located in the east of Qinling Mountain. Although it is adjacent to Hanzhong, the core of Sichuan-Sichuan War Zone, it is necessary to cross mountains and pass the dangerous road of Qinling Mountain to succeed if you want to return directly to Sichuan-Sichuan War Zone and go to Hanzhong area.
This was almost impossible for the feudal army.
Chapter 139 The south?
Zhao Yucheng recognizes the situation of north-south attack. Xiangyang army can retreat eastward even if it wants to retreat.
