Chapter 418: Still Want to Retreat South
The transportation of military supplies is slow, especially in this situation. Inconcentration of troops will lead to many problems. It is simply stable along the way. However, on the third day, bad news came and the frontier was broken through by the enemy.
Because the front line was broken, Xin Qiji's army could only station on the front line. There were 300,000 troops without supplies. It was extremely helpless to station on the ground. Fortunately, Xin Qiji's control over the army was okay.
Chen Xiuping's side also had to temporarily camp and rectify because the front line was broken by the frontier. The information in his hand was sent by Di Rong's intelligence organization. Compared with Di Rong's intelligence agency, the timeliness and speed cannot be compared.
The enemy used a large firearm to bombard the city wall, and the city gate was instantly broken. Due to the arrangement of the fortress, all the troops were besieged in the fortress and the old marshal was captured.
Although this information is short, the key point is clearly stated, that is, the enemy is about to start charging south. Once the border passes, the small towns along the way are all targets of plunder, and no matter how many large armies are, it is difficult to form a favorable defense.
Although this is said in theory, who is he? Chen Xiuping from the modern era. The knowledge he has is modern knowledge. Although he does not have much military knowledge, he has basically understood the famous battles in history to a greater or lesser extent. If there is no defensive terrain, then dig it yourself and create a defensive terrain yourself.
The army's pause was stopped for a short time by Chen Xiuping. He continued to march and placed the battlefield north of Jianghuai City. He could not let the enemy go south so easily. As for Xin Qiji's side, Chen Xiuping ordered him to go south from the north, but he did not have to join the army with them, but to ambush on the side. As for the issue of baggage, Chen Xiuping remembered that Jianghuai City was occupied by Liu Sheng's nephew Liu Ji. Chen Xiuping knew the supplies of Jianghuai City, which was one of the few important supplies cities in northern cities. After all, Jianghuai City was used to be the logistics company of the border, and wrote a letter to ask Liu Ji to send supplies.
The matter has been almost done, and now I can see who is marching faster.
Two more days passed, and Chen Xiuping was about to arrive in Jianghuai City, but a team marching to the south appeared in front of him, with a huge number of people. Chen Xiuping was a little puzzled by this. There was no order to retreat among all the orders.
The two teams collided head-on. Chen Xiuping asked after asking, he realized that this was a team led by Liu Ji. The news of the defeat in the front was back. Liu Ji immediately decided to continue to retreat and wanted to retreat again. This was the first thought in Chen Xiuping's mind. He directly stopped the withdrawn army. The congestion in front naturally caused dissatisfaction in the rear. Liu Ji had just had a fight with the general of Qin Feng's army. Now the sudden stop naturally made him a little angry. He rode his horse and rushed to the front and cursed and cursed. What was going on.
"Governor Liu, don't scold me anymore, I asked them to stop."
"Who are you?"
Liu Ji looked at the young man in front of him, looking at the dress of a scholar, but standing among the crowd, he had the temperament of a leader, which is really something that people should not underestimate.
