Valley Emperor

Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: (apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Wuchang, this place that was just an ordinary city a few years ago has become different from the past in the past two years. Many soldiers can often be seen walking by on the street, and a corner of the city is full of smoke all day long.

The prefectural city, which was originally only tens of thousands of people, has now squeezed out 70,000 to 80,000 people, and even the original urban area cannot live in it, but has to be expanded beyond the city walls.

The reason for all this is naturally because Zhang Yue regards Wuchang as his rear base camp!

He ordered Song Zhiwen to build guns and guns to train new troops here, while Song Zhiwen recruited a large number of craftsmen from various places and began to build guns and other weapons day and night.

There are more than 5,000 craftsmen of all kinds here. The craftsmen and their families have greatly increased the population here, and even caused a certain abnormal prosperity.

In addition, the population in the city includes a large number of troops in addition to the natives and the conscripted craftsmen and their families!

The more than 10,000 people in the supervising Chinese army were withdrawn from the front line by Zhang Yue and sent to Wuchang to serve as guards for ordinary workers.

The population of Wuchang Fucheng has reached 70,000 or 80,000 people, and the population of this scale is actually not small in ancient times.

In a luxurious mansion in the center of Wuchang City, Zhang Yue was sitting in the side hall, looking at the battle report urgently sent by the messenger!

"Everyone, take a look!" After a while, Zhang Yue put down the battle report, and then handed the battle report to Song Zhiwen next to him.

After Song Zhiwen read it, he passed it on to others. After a while, all five or six people in the hall had already passed it on!

"Sir, the pseudo-Tang bandit army is going to Yuezhou, and our army has only 3,000 troops in Yuezhou. I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the bandit army. We need to make plans early!"

The man continued: "Once Yuezhou is captured by the bandit army, my connection between Wuchang and Changsha will be cut off. At that time, not only will I be unable to get in touch with Changsha, and send additional soldiers and military supplies, the bandit army is more likely to directly contact Yuezhou. The prefecture goes south and cooperates with the first army of Hao Thief to besiege Changsha and Hengyang, so that the land south of the Yangtze River and Huguang is in danger!"

However, Song Zhiwen said at this time: "But if our army rushes to reinforce Yuezhou, then it is very likely to fall into Li Thief's conspiracy!"

"The leader of the second army thief is Li Chunjing, and Li thief has a lot of tricks and tactics, often pretending to be mysterious, and attacking the west. Some time ago, Li thief said he was going to Wuchang, but now he is going to Yuezhou, who knows. Is his purpose in Yuezhou or does he want to take the opportunity to kill our reinforcements? Or is it to lure my troops from Wuchang to Yuezhou, and then go north to Wuchang with a false shot?"

Song Zhiwen's remarks immediately caused many people to frown!

That's right, this Li Chunjing has a lot of tricks and tactics, and there is no common sense to follow, who knows what his real purpose is!

But when everyone frowned, someone said: "It's just that no matter what Li Chunjing really wants to do, the current situation in Yuezhou can't stop Li Chunjing's department!"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Zhang Yue was also a little irritable. Since the superintendent of the south, the suppression of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty has not been successful. If you connect the damaged soldiers, you will lose the city. Otherwise, there would not be so many people in the court to impeach him.

But what can he do? He is also very helpless!

The guards were unusable, almost all of them would lose in every battle. Often times, they couldn't defend a city. The only thing Zhang Yue could rely on was the supervising marks he had compiled and trained himself, but the number of supervising marks was not the same. Much!

Zhang Yue's supervising standard, although the cost is not comparable to that of the Tang Army, but the cost is not small. Fortunately, although Huguang has not yet developed to the peak state of Huguang and the world, but after nearly two hundred years of development , the population of Huguang has reached a very impressive state.

Only in this way can Zhang Yue be able to support the new army of inspectors under his command.

But in the end, there are still fewer troops, and there are too many places to defend. Now, if Zhang Yue simply relies on supervising the standard, he can no longer occupy the military advantage. There is a certain advantage in military strength, but this advantage is not very obvious.

The most obvious example is that in the direction of Huguang, Zhang Yue deployed a total of about 25,000 supervising officers and about 20,000 training troops. The total strength is only 45,000 people.

As for the local guards and young soldiers, who would count them in the war now!

However, as for the puppet pirate army in Huguang, Hao Bainian's First Army now has the 1st Infantry Division, the 2nd Infantry Division, the 3rd Infantry Division and a mixed regiment, with a total strength of about 40,000 people.

In other words, in fact, in Huguang, in fact, the strength of the main forces of the two sides is almost the same.

And this is what caused Zhang Yue to feel the lack of troops even more.

But even so, in fact, the strength of the Ming army under Zhang Yue is much higher than before. In the past, the 200,000 to 300,000 local guards and the young men who were recruited temporarily were useless except for wasting food. Now Zhang Yue is already a The strategy was changed, and the guards and temporary youths were basically not used in wars. Instead, they were sent to work in the workshops, or simply rushed to the fields, and some of them were used as ordinary people.

Although there are not as many troops as before, in fact, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Yue's army is better than before. Otherwise, Zhang Yue would not have the confidence to kick the guards aside!

But in any case, the lack of troops is the biggest problem facing Zhang Yue now!

Now facing the thief army attacking Yuezhou, Zhang Yue couldn't think of where he could deploy troops to strengthen Yuezhou's defense. If troops were deployed from Wuchang, Wuchang's defense would also be weakened, and Changsha and Hengyang had already He had already transferred a part of the troops. If they were to be transferred now, Hao Bainian would be able to take Changsha directly with the First Army without having to kill Li Chunjing with the Second Army.

Could it be that Yuezhou could not be saved? Can only watch the pseudo-Tang bandit army take Yuezhou?

After a long while, Song Zhiwen suddenly said, "Why don't we send the main force from Hengyang to the north to defend Yuezhou?"

After Song Zhiwen said this, the group of people below immediately shook their heads and said, "Hengyang is an important place to prevent thieves. How can you easily move troops north, and Hengyang is so far away from Yuezhou, you can't get there in time!"

When the other group of people objected, Zhang Yue looked at Song Zhiwen, and then saw Song Zhiwen showing a faint smile. Others may not know why Song Zhiwen said this, but as a single-handedly put Song Zhiwen Zhang Yue, who had been re-opened and had been entrusted with important tasks for two years, heard the overtones of Song Zhiwen's words.

Song Zhiwen said this, not only intending to transfer Hengyang's troops, but preparing to completely abandon Hengyang, perhaps the entire south of Changsha!

Now Zhang Yue is in a lot of trouble, with not many troops, but there are too many places to be garrisoned. At this time, if you need to avoid being beaten by each and tired of being killed, the best way is actually to give up some protruding parts. Then shrink the force.

And now Hengyang is such a protruding part.

If you can voluntarily give up Hengyang, you can transfer the main force of about 30,000 people in Hengyang city to Changsha, and on the other hand, you can send troops from Changsha to reinforce Yuezhou.

In this way, Changsha, Yuezhou, Wuchang and Jiujiang can form a straight line, support each other, and prevent the thieves from entering the northern part of Huguang!

In fact, Song Zhiwen mentioned this idea to him a long time ago, but Zhang Yue dared to kick the guards aside without hesitation, and he also dared to risk infamy to expropriate thieves' salaries, but Zhang Yue did not dare to take the initiative. Give up Hengyang!

So Zhang Yue refused without hesitation. He didn't expect that Song Zhiwen would put it forward in front of everyone today, but as he expected, everyone also objected without hesitation!

After listening to Song Zhiwen, he sighed slightly, and then said: "Since it is impossible to send troops from Hengyang and Changsha to the north to defend Yuezhou, then we need to prepare for Yuezhou's fall, and it is best to increase the time to give Changsha and Hengyang. Send a batch of ordnance and food over there!"

Why Song Zhiwen said that~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Everyone can understand, because once Yuezhou falls, the subsequent Changsha and Hengyang are basically trapped behind enemy lines. If you don't want to take the initiative to break through, you can only defend, and How can you stand without weapons and provisions!

At this time, Song Zhiwen continued: "In addition, since the main force of the bandit army is advancing westward, then we can also take the opportunity to recover Nanchang and even Ganzhou!"

Hearing Song Zhiwen's words, everyone suddenly realized, and someone immediately said: "Yes, they beat them, we beat us, they go to Yuezhou, then we will go directly to Nanchang, and after Nanchang is recaptured, we will seize Ganzhou, In this way, it is possible to restore most of Jiangxi!"

However, Zhang Yue is also puzzled about this. Nanchang is not easy to fight. If it cannot be attacked for a long time, it will be a big trouble!

But now, Zhang Yue feels that he doesn't seem to have a good choice. It's not a good choice to reinforce Yuezhou, not to reinforce it, not to fight Nanchang, or not to fight.

In the end, he let everyone retreat in the dullness, but in the end, he still did not make any decision, just let people step up to send a batch of weapons, ammunition and food to Changsha and Hengyang. The soldiers dispatched 10,000 people to Yuezhou, but whether the tens of thousands of guardsmen are useful is something that everyone knows.

As for sending the main force to Yuezhou, it was shelved!

Anyway, he still has time now. It will take time for the pseudo-Tang bandit army to attack Yuezhou, and if Zhang Yue sends reinforcements from Wuchang, he can go there directly by boat, and the journey is much shorter, so he still has time!

The Ming army was still as stable as Mount Tai, and Li Chunjing was unmoved, but continued to move towards Yuezhou, posing as if he had to enter Yuezhou!
