Chapter 1063 Two styles of painting
Jiangling is actually divided into two cities: old and new.
The old city is in the north and the new city is in the south.
The old city is located near the former site of Chu Yingdu and was repaired one after another in the Qin and Han Dynasties. When Guan Yu was in Jingzhou, the city was overhauled, but it was not big, with a city area of more than ten miles.
When Zhu Ran was in Jiangling, Jiangling New City was built, which was very close to the Yangtze River. Since then, it has become an important town in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the old city has been renamed "Jinan City".
There are garrisons in Ji Nan City, with a total of 3,000 people, of which 2,000 are relatively capable troops, and the other 1,000 are refugees. They have only been trained for two years and think that the county soldiers are still fine.
There were a few defenders in Jiangling City, almost 4,000 elite soldiers and hundreds of strong men.
Of course, there is also a navy camp near Jiangling, but there are not many people now and they have been transferred.
Jiangling is an important town.
In the early Jin Dynasty, the chief official of Jingzhou either ruled Xiangyang or settled Jiangling. After crossing the river, it is unreasonable.
Wang Dun settled his family in Wuchang, but others were sometimes in Xiangyang and sometimes in Jiangxia.
Tao Kan settled his home in Jiangling, and his capital was also located here, but others were mainly in Wuchang or Xiakou because he still served as the governor.
Simply put, Jiangling is the political and economic center, and Wuchang or Xiakou is the military center.
Now that the war is about to begin, Tao Kan squats on the front line of Xiakou and Yangkou almost day and night.
As for Jiangling and Ji Nancheng, they were left to the army officer Tao Bin (son of Tao Kan) and the prefect of Nanjun Tao Zhen (nephew of Tao Kan) to guard it - Ji Nancheng is also the current capital of Nanjun.
After receiving the message, the two cousins immediately sent a messenger to contact each other and then made some arrangements.
The most important thing is to contact the powerful people from all over the world...
On the eighth day of November, in the sandbank in the northwest of Jiangling, Huang He broke the porcelain bowl on the ground after drinking, shouting: "During the Han Dynasty, my ancestors defeated Yingbu by the thief of the Yangtze River and were granted the title of marquis. What's wrong with it now Dare? Follow me."
After saying that, put on leather armor and boarded a ship first.
More than a thousand people followed closely behind and boarded various ships.
The Huang clan members stood on the high building and quietly watched the tribes go away.
A total of 1,500 soldiers are considered the old foundation of the Huang family in Jiangling. When the army was approaching, it was worthy of Gong Tao.
The fleet headed north along the Zhang River (not the Zhang River in Hebei), with a speed that was neither fast nor slow, but it was vast and powerful.
After a day heading north, they even saw several Liang cavalrymen cruising around.
These cavalry were also bold and even followed from afar on the shore, cursing from time to time.
The people on the boat also cursed, using the most vicious language to greet the eighteen generations of ancestors, which was very lively.
The only regret is that neither party understands what the other party is scolding.
After two days of sailing, you can see Dangyang City on the distant horizon from afar.
This city is still a little distance from the river. It looks close, but it is not close when you walk over it.
Huang He didn't care about them, but instead entered a reed marsh.
A few miles away from the north, there was a sworn brother who happened to go and have a while. The boat stopped in the lake pool near his fortress, and asked for some dry food. It would be even better if he could convince him to go north together.
Shao Bing is so bold. He went so far that he was just going to find out if his convoy had a grain transport convoy. If he could successfully raid, he might make a fortune.
Tactics are just such tactics.
It is impossible for Shao Zhe to be full of cavalry, soldiers, and elite soldiers. He always has a weak combat power. He has a mentality and a lack of intention, and he always has a chance.
This is true for the Huang family in Jiangling, and Hu family in Huarong also received the order later.
They selected thousands of troops, carried swords, shields, bows and guns, and crossed northwards through Yangshui and into the lake and swamp area between Yunmengze and Mianshui.
There were several water villages in the meantime, not set up by the government, but formed by the spontaneous gathering of the people.
When farming in the continent, fishing fish and shrimps in rivers and lakes depends entirely on ships, and it is difficult for outsiders to know where they are. If you can hide in it and suddenly come out, you will have unexpected effects or gain.
On the Hepu Wharf of Linju County in the mountains, the county magistrate is seeing Pang Yang off.
All the soldiers of dozens of county dynasties were handed over to him, and several wealthy families also gathered three or four hundred soldiers. As a branch of the Pang family in Xiangyang, Pang Yang himself gathered more than a hundred clans, plus one thousand young men, totaling more than 1,500. People cross the mountains and ridges, first stay in the familiar Tu people's manor, then go out along the Zhang River and walk north.
...
On the land of Nanjun, Dow's orders were very easy to use.
The local tyrants didn't understand the outside world, so Mr. Tao's son ordered that he would be fine. Anyway, they don’t want them to rush head-on, they just raid the enemy’s baggage department.
If the enemy soldiers are numerous or more powerful or look more capable of fighting, then they will not be able to go.
If there are few enemy soldiers or look like they are strong, then go ahead.
At least they were often ordered to go to war, and they had experience in war, but they could not defeat those young men and women if they didn't believe it.
If it really doesn't work, you can also use the advantages of familiar geography to attack. If you suffer a defeat, you will easily escape. The place is full of people who provide help to them.
The Dow's cousins actually made the right response.
If a gentry child who has been using a scattered wine all day long and has no ability, he may have been panicked, and it is even possible that he will even abandon the city and escape.
The tactics they formulated were actually the miniature version of Tao Kan's tactics, which were also the tactics that the Wu people had always been. After all, the northern people rode horses and the southern people rode boats.
In the real Northland, of course, there is the same tactic: the grassland cavalry continues to retreat, lengthen your supply line, and then run around, cut off the food route, intercept the messenger, and shake the entire army.
This is humans. They will always try their best to use their wisdom, tools and even the surrounding mountains and rivers, and summarize for a long time to form their own style of play - of course, this requires a certain level of civilization.
*******
The wealthy families in Nanjun helped Tao Kan, and the wealthy families in Xiangyang were another style of painting.
The Kuai family surrendered, so how could there be no Cai family? This is unreasonable.
Cai did surrender, but no one cared about them, just two or three big cats.
The Cai family suffered heavy damage, so it must start with Wang Ru.
When Wang Ru led his army to disrupt Xiangyang, he once attacked "Caizhou".
The so-called Caizhou is a sandbank in the Mian River, or the island is located ten miles southeast of Xianshan.
Because Cai Mao surrendered to Cao in the late Han Dynasty, the Cai family made a good fortune, although the family trend gradually declined in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
But because of the priests of their ancestors, the entire Caizhou Island belonged to them. The Cai family set up luxury houses and opened up fields on the island. It is said that there were hundreds of maids and concubines at the peak.
However, during the Wang Ruzhi Rebellion, Cai Zhou, a "recreational and recuperation" resort, was taken over. The island and the house are still there, but the people are gone... After the Wang Ruzhi Rebellion was put down, the members of the Cai family returned from another place and first vowed that the Cai family would never marry the Wang surnamed Wang, and then began to compete for the main vein and left behind after being slaughtered. heritage. But it’s useless. The servants and maids are gone, the food is gone, and the wealth accumulated over the years is gone. Everything can only be done from scratch.
Unfortunately, the times have not given them a chance.
Because of Caizhou's extremely important position, many soldiers have come to the island now, trying to prevent the Wu navy from heading north.
This is not an unreasonable worry.
There are indeed relatively narrow river sections downstream of the Mian River, but this area east of Xiangyang is very wide.
When Cao Cao went to Jingzhou, Cai Mao trained the naval army here. To be honest, the Han River could train a chicken naval army. Cao Mengde's naval army was born with poor development and would be defeated even if there was no such fire.
Now many infantrymen have come to the island, and even hundreds of cavalry have landed on the island, staying in the countryside, ready to attack the Jin Dynasty's naval and land troops at any time.
The infantry was dominated by more than a thousand palace soldiers, plus almost the same number of troops.
But the number of people is definitely not enough, so the nearby wealthy soldiers were transferred to the island.
The Xi family of Gaoyangchi (Xijiachi) dispatched five hundred soldiers.
This family is a rich man from Jing. It has a Jiayuanchi. When the mountain is in Jingzhou, it likes to go to his house to play. "Every time I go out for fun, I often get drunk on the pond. It is called Gaoyangchi."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Xi's in-law Pang also sent someone to come.
This family is descended from Pang Degong and Pang Tong, but it is not very good now.
Pang Huan (son of Pang Degong, son of Pang Shanmin, nephew of Pang Tong, and nephew of Zhuge Liang) served as the prefect of Liuhu during the Taikang period of Jin Dynasty. Later, he was so angry that he didn't want to do it anymore. He left the poor mountains and rivers and returned to his hometown to live in vain.
After Pang Huan, most of the Pang clans had responsibilities in counties and counties, and it was difficult to transcend Xiangyang, and there were signs of falling into the local genius.
Jin and Liang dynasties have been in war for many years, and Pang's losses have been heavy, and there is no possibility of a rise.
Now that I have been arrested, I am reluctant, but I may not have the idea of taking the opportunity to revive my family.
In addition to these three companies, there are several companies, who have collected a total of 3,000 young men and guarded the island.
On this day, the Jin army navy broke through the blockade in the direction of Zheng County, and more than 20 ships went upstream, making Caizhou.
Arrows flew around the island, densely packed.
Xialou Longxiang Mansion's troops stood Shi Xian on the wall, watching his soldiers being untenable by the dense arrows on the ship, and they all retreated one after another.
But he didn't have a good idea.
If the Wu people dared to fight with him in Henan, he would have learned the great things. Unfortunately, this is a sandbank in the river, which is another way of fighting.
"Capture the thief!"
"Kill the bandits!"
On the river beach, a group of Wu soldiers bravely went into the water and rushed towards the sandbank under the cover of boats, boats, bows and crossbows.
At some point, the reed marsh on the shore was ignited, and the fire soared into the sky, and some Wu Bing, who rushed too fast, screamed loudly in the fire.
The rest of the people decisively changed places and continued to try to log in.
Above the river, warships pulled up wooden stakes.
They have been cleaning up here for several days and have finally cleared some of the rivers in the center.
Amid the rumbling drums, the two ships took the lead, but before they could go far, they made a harsh scratching sound.
After a moment, the Wu soldiers on the boat began to run around and shout.
The big hole was broken at the bottom of the ship, and the river surging in, and it tilted instantly.
The guards on Caizhou shouted in unison, their morale was greatly boosted, and they shouted, "The people of Wu have all become fish and turtles!"
Wu Bing jumped into the water with an ugly face, swam to the other ships behind him, and was slowly rescued.
The generals of the Jin army's naval army were helpless and ordered the fleet to retreat temporarily and station in the open water. At the same time, they tried every means to mobilize several small boats, went upstream and headed towards Xiangyang.
This kind of small boat can't transport a few people, let alone carry any supplies. Their role is more to use it to thunder.
Who would have thought that the Liang people would nail wooden stakes filled with spikes at the bottom of the river?
This move was used by the Eastern Wu to deal with the Jin Navy, but it was leaked in advance and let everyone know.
Deng Yue watched quietly at the top of Xiangyang city.
The navy fleet was only ten miles away from them, but it was still impossible to rush.
The land soldiers sent by Caizhou won first and then defeated the powerful Xiangyang soldiers in front of him, but were soon rushed to flee in a panic by a group of heavy armored soldiers, and they did not survive until they were covered by naval ships. Save a life.
The war was extremely fierce, and the sound of killing soared into the sky.
He was determined to send troops out of the city to fight and respond, but he tried it once before and lost hundreds of troops and horses, so he was not very brave.
The trend of this war is becoming more and more confusing.
"Mr., someone shot up a letter." The aide arrived in a hurry and whispered.
"No, don't look." Deng Yue pushed him away.
The staff smiled embarrassedly and hid the letter in his sleeve.
Deng Yue glanced at him and snorted coldly.
This person's surname is Yang, and he is a native of Xiangyang. Even his home can be seen on the top of the city - there is a lake on the other side of the river west of Caizhou, called "Huihu". It is several miles long and the water is evergreen. Yang Yi lives on the upper part of the Han Dynasty, and Yang Yong lives on the lower part of the river, which is The Yang family in Xiangyang.
When the Liang army came, some members of the Yang clan escaped into the city, while those who stayed behind their ancestral homes surrendered to the fort.
Deng Yue suspected that the Yang clan members in the city would also surrender, especially after this person picked up a letter.
He was unwilling to surrender, and his respect for Mr. Tao had not been consumed completely.
The appearance of the navy near Caizhou today also gave him more confidence.
The aide surnamed Yang sneered in his heart.
Deng Yue still talks about one thing and does another.
If you really don’t want to surrender, why should you be so hypocritical?
After a while, just find an opportunity to let others mention it again. If you don’t believe it, Deng Yue will not waver.
