Chapter 107 The Unfinished War
At noon on March 26, the war between Fuzhou City was officially over. Lin Feng sent special forces soldiers to post notices throughout the city, announcing that the people in Fuzhou were exempted from rent for one year. On the other hand, he summoned generals in the army to discuss and finally decided to leave 5,000 Jianzhou troops to guard Fuzhou City. 20,000 Quanzhou troops rushed to the northern Fu'an front line. The remaining soldiers took a break and rushed back to Quanzhou, and were ready to support Zhang Hansi's troops who were invading the Southern Han at any time.
On the afternoon of March 27, Lin Feng followed the 20,000 troops to the Fu'an line and found that it was in full swing.
Seeing the brigade of reinforcements arrive, Wei San, who was busy and sweating, rushed over and shouted at Lin Feng from a distance: "Mr. Lin, Fuzhou City is a great victory."
Lin Feng nodded with a smile, hugged Wei San fiercely, and then anxiously asked about the situation of the battle here.
Wei San pointed to Fu'an City on the north bank and said loudly: "Wu Yue sent five thousand reinforcements from the direction of Jinghai. He was ambushed once by our elite troops in the mountains. The enemy soldiers are currently stationed on a mountain, as if waiting for the arrival of subsequent reinforcements."
Lin Feng felt relieved, pointed at the army behind him, and laughed loudly: "Wu Yue has reinforcements coming, so he pretended to fail, let them come over, and then catch the turtle in a jar."
Wei San pointed to the position he had deployed, then to Fu'an City on the north bank, and smiled and said, "As long as the enemy army does not exceed 20,000, our original team can solve them with Fu'an City and this position."
Lin Feng laughed loudly, punched Wei Sanyi hard, and said with an unusually serious expression: "Brother Wei, we can't just get used to hitting more with less, we have to learn how to bully the less with more."
When the brothers heard Lin Feng's words, including Wei San, all laughed wildly.
By late March, not only the war in Fuzhou entered a period of calm, but other wars also came to an end.
Not far north of Fuzhou, the Southern Tang South Road Army, the Southern Tang Zhaowu Army and the Wu Yuejing Navy, which were facing off the border, had reached a tacit understanding in advance. They had no battle from the beginning and were leisurely waiting for the progress of war in other regions.
After receiving the news that the 5,000 soldiers who were going to Fuzhou to rescue were blocked in Fu'an, the border army was immediately retreated to Quzhou as a barrier to protect the Jingjiang Army (managing Wenzhou), and could go south to support the Fu'an front line at any time. The Zhaowu Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty did not follow step by step and stationed in place without moving.
In the middle of the Southern Tang Army, the Southern Tang Army's Taiwei, who suffered a loss, Xu Zhizheng, the governor of Ningguo Army and the governor of Xuanzhou, ordered his subordinates to stick to it. Qian Hongwei, the governor of Huzhou of Wuyue, who was against him, had no choice but to confront him.
On the northern road of the Southern Tang Army, Li Jingda, the governor of the Jiangyin Army, had no choice but to look at the city and sigh.
Seeing that no substantial progress was made by land, Wu Yue, who was anxious about the war, secretly gathered nearly 300 large and small ships from all over the place under the insistence of Prime Minister Wu Cheng, and suddenly launched an attack on the Chu Tang fleet that besieged Hangzhou Bay on the morning of March 24.
Goldman Sachs, the deputy commander of the Chu-Tang fleet, was originally a powerful general of the Chu navy. After Xu Qiong was demoted to Mengzhou, he was recommended by the eldest son of Tuobaheng.
According to the request of Ma Cungui, the commander of the Chu-Tang naval army, before heading south, Goldman Sachs led 110 sea falcon warships to fight with the Wu-Yue naval army for one day. Nearly twenty lost warships still fought to the death and continued to command the damaged warships to end with the enemy. Therefore, the huge sea falcon warships rushed forward like crazy. Their final madness often brought several large and large Wu-Yue warships with them. This lifeless fighting style made the Wu-Yue naval army feel timid first, and had to take the initiative to cease the battle when dusk approached.
On the second day, the Chu Tang fleet, which was at a disadvantage, took the initiative to launch an attack during the early tide, forcing the Wu Yue navy back for a mile.
On the third day, one hundred and fifty two-car ships arrived from Quanzhou and Fuzhou arrived. The offensive of the Chu-Tang coalition forces became more and more powerful. The Wu-Yue navy suffered greater losses and could not retreat to the west again. If they attacked west again, they might be besieged by Wu-Yue infantry on the shore. The Chu-Tang fleet stopped moving forward and the battle situation was once again in a confrontation.
Going further north, nearly 20,000 Later Zhou soldiers surrounded Jinzhou City, but they could not attack the hedgehog-like city. On the west side, the Houzhou Bao army and the National Guarding Army tried to send a navy army to cross the Yellow River to raid Jin, Jiang and other states, but they were all sunk by the crazy Northern Han River patrol fleet and could not make progress. Wang Yan, who had already had many white hairs, was so angry that he was going crazy, but could not wait for the follow-up reinforcements in the rear, nor any orders from the rear, so he had to stop the unnecessary siege, and the battle situation was deadlocked again.
The war still continues to be very popular in the South Han area:
Late at night on March 25, under the city of Hezhou in Guizhou, the Guizhou area, Xie Guan, deputy commander of the Nanhan, who was guarding the camp and did not dare to fight, looked at the fewer and fewer soldiers in the camp, and no longer dared to hesitate. Xie Guan left all the wounded soldiers and concentrated all the 15,000 Nanhan soldiers who could still fight. After carrying only a few days of dry food, he suddenly exerted his force, broke through several short walls east of the camp, and fled in a hurry to the eastward way back.
The Hezhou defenders, who were caught off guard, immediately organized troops to follow the attack. The soldiers of the various barbarian tribes fought for the first place, and took advantage of the advantage of wading through mountains and rivers. They continued to raid the Southern Han fugitives from the Li River in the north and from the mountains in the south, and began a pursuit battle.
Subsequently, 15,000 Southern Han invaders were driven away by tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops in Guizhou and fled back to Wuzhou. They met with 10,000 Southern Han soldiers who were besieged in the city and returned directly to the Southern Han. Ma Jiwei, who was in charge of the army, hurriedly went west while splitting 10,000 Southern Han soldiers surrounding Mengzhou on the southern front, forced surrender. He joined the Wuzhou defenders and invaded the southern Han territory again with the wind and swept the remaining clouds. On March 29, he occupied Yining County, the capital of Fengzhou that had burned and swept once before (now southeast of Xinxing County, Guangdong, west of Kaiping County), and the army took root here.
At the same time, Ma Jiwei learned from Lin Feng and set up another "Jingguan" with a smaller scale in the east of Yining City and north of Lishui, which made a strong and bloody warning to the invasion of the Southern Han Dynasty.
On the night of March 25, Zhang Hansi, the deputy commander of the Qingyuan Army, led an army of 30,000, broke through the border line of the Southern Han Dynasty with the previous infiltrating Cheng Yuehai and others. The army fought to the city of Chaozhou and attacked the city overnight. He broke through the city in the early morning of the 26th, and finally successfully captured Chaozhou City at the cost of losing 3,000.
Subsequently, Cheng Yuehai, who had already explored the virtual and real places, and with the Han River north of Chaozhou City as the boundary, quickly swept away the Southern Han defenders north of the Han River. Zhang Hansi led the army south and the troops headed straight to Jieyang of the Southern Han.
On March 26, the news of the invasion of the Southern Tang army completely shocked the Southern Han dynasty. After urgent consultation, the monarchs and ministers immediately ordered the withdrawal of the Gui-controlled army and sent 20,000 troops to Jieyang. At the same time, they urgently demanded that the troops from Jingzhou (now Meizhou, Guangdong) and Qichang Prefecture (now Xingning County, Guangdong) sent troops from the west to coerce Chaozhou, and three groups launched attacks to jointly block the fierce attack of the Southern Tang.
Regarding this war that no one knows is impossible to fight, the Southern Tang and Southern Han sides have been stunning.
