Valley Emperor

Apex Novel Network, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Emperor of the Valley!

In the end, Li Xuan did not choose to let the Second Army storm the Huangzhou line of defense as soon as possible. In that case, the attack would definitely be defeated, but the casualties would be huge!

Li Xuan also did not let the Fifth Army reinforce the Second Army, and then attacked the Huangzhou line of defense head-on, which was meaningless, because it would also cause huge casualties.

Now that the king of the Tang Dynasty Cha Ju has many strategic advantages, Li Xuan does not need to fight to the death with the 50,000 supervising Zuo army for a Huangzhou defense line!

He didn't even adopt another battle plan proposed by the Operation Office of the Privy Council of the Tang Dynasty, that is to choose to let the Second Army bypass the Huangzhou Defense Line, and then let the Fifth Army step forward to fill the vacancy in the Huangzhou Defense Line, and contain the Huangzhou Defense Line. 50,000 Ming troops.

He adopted another backup plan proposed by the War Department, which was to use the Fifth Army of the Strategic Reserve to bypass the Huangzhou line of defense, seize the northern area of ​​Huanggang County, and implement a jump attack, thereby strategically encircling the Ming army within the Huangzhou line of defense!

Since the inspector of the left army intends to defend Huangzhou, Li Xuan also intends to take advantage of the situation to surround and annihilate them!

You must know that the main goal of the second stage of the Southwest Campaign of the Tang Dynasty is not to capture a certain place or to capture how many places, but to keep the more than 100,000 supervising main forces in the Huguang area.

And this is also the reason why the Second Infantry Division of the First Army rushed to Jingzhou!

Because once they successfully captured Jingzhou and blocked the resistance of the Du Biao Ming army against Jingzhou, it would be equivalent to locking the 100,000 Du Biao Ming army in the Hubei area north of the Yangtze River.

But now the Ming army on the front line of Huangzhou chose to stick to Huangzhou, so Li Xuan saw a second choice!

That is to annihilate the main force of this superintendent first!

That is the Ming army marked by fifty thousand governors, which is almost half of the main force of the Ming army in Hubei.

Because at that time, they will have an advantage in force for the first time!

It is not a local military superiority, but a comprehensive military superiority on the entire Hubei battlefield!

At that time, no matter how Zhang Yue resisted, in the face of absolute strength, any resistance is doomed to be futile!

That's why Li Xuan let the Fifth Army risk landing in the regiment!

Once the plan is successful, they will completely surround the Zuo Biao army, which is the absolute main force of the more than 50,000 people. If Zhang Yue is willing to give up this army, sit and watch the Zuo army be surrounded and then annihilated, and he will not send troops from Hanyang. Come to the rescue, then Li Xuan will also recognize it, and then he will play head-to-head with the remaining main force of the superintendent, even if it is smashed with artillery shells and consumed by the lives of soldiers, he will take Hubei before the rainy season in spring and summer next year. , and then marched into Sichuan.

The backup plan proposed by the Operations Department was almost the same as the first 1st Infantry Division of the 1st Army blitzed Huangzhou. They took advantage of the strategic advantages of the Yangtze River Fleet and chose to conduct landing operations in the rear of the Ming Army.

It's just that the 1st Infantry Division at that time failed and was finally forced to retreat, and now, can the Fifth Army succeed?

Li Xuan does not know!

But then again, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, the big deal is to retreat and then implement the alternative plan, directly strengthen the Fifth Army to the Second Army, and let the Fifth Army and the Second Army together attack the front line of Huangzhou. Army, he doesn't believe it, the two armies add up to nearly 90,000 people, and they can't take this Huangzhou in a short time!

In any case, it is necessary to create pressure on the Ming army and open the current stalemate.

In order to ensure that the units of the First Army, especially the Second Infantry Division can successfully launch the Battle of Jingzhou, and finally successfully capture it!

And then completely block the possibility of the main force of the supervising standard retreating to Sichuan!

If it weren't for the lack of transport capacity and the distance was too far, Li Xuan would have planned to send the Fifth Army directly to Jingzhou. Unfortunately, it was too far away, and the navy could not guarantee the supply of too many troops. One infantry division was basically the limit.

But no matter what, Li Xuan wants to keep Zhang Yue's chief inspector!

After Li Xuan made his decision, Lieutenant General Chen Keqiao was the one who quickly led the Fifth Army and set off!

In fact, although Chen Keqiao's people are still in Jiujiang, in fact, his Fifth Army is the strategic reserve of the whole army. Although some troops are in Jiujiang, they are only part of the troops. The troop has already penetrated deep into the front line.

The 11th Infantry Division of the Fifth Army is currently deployed in Wuchang County on the south bank of the Yangtze River to the south of Huangzhou Prefecture (the ancient Wuchang County, renamed Shouchang County after the second year of the Republic of China, and Wuchang County, which was renamed from Jiangxia County).

The 12th Infantry Division, another main force of the Fifth Army, was to be deployed further back in Qizhou.

After Chen Keqiao took most of the troops directly under the Fifth Army to the west by boat, his troops also started one after another!

Under the cover of the Navy's Yangtze River Fleet, they will launch a landing directly at the rear of the Huangzhou line of defense, in the Tuanfeng area.

This time, like the previous battles, it heavily relied on the strength of the navy!

Whether it is an attack across the river, or supply and transportation, it is inseparable from the help of the navy.
