Putting aside the disturbing thoughts in his mind, Li Xiang gradually focused on the majestic pass in front of him. Next, how to successfully obtain this magnificent pass is the most important thing.
Mengjin City is located due north of Luoyang, adjacent to the Yellow River, with Xiaopingjin Ferry as the front pass. If you want to capture Mengjin, you need to break Xiaopingjin first, and if you want to break Xiaopingjin, you need a navy.
As a real time traveler, Li Xiang naturally understands the importance of the navy army. Therefore, over the years, Li Xiang has not tried to form a navy army, and Li Xiang has indeed organized a navy army of 10,000 people. military.
However, the combat effectiveness of this so-called ten thousand navy army is really worrying. I am afraid that these 10,000 naval troops will be the same as the 3,000 naval troops in the Sun Wu era during the Three Kingdoms period in the future, and they will eventually end up defeated.
With ships in the south and horses in the north, it is too difficult to form a navy in the north. Li Xiang can still find a way to find shipbuilders in the south, but just trying to recruit enough personnel among the landlubbers in the north is a challenge. trouble. Moreover, it is not easy to find a suitable place in the north where navy troops can be trained.
In addition, navy generals are also a big trouble. Li Xiang has summoned him many times, and many balanced characters have joined Li Xiang's command, but unfortunately there is no pure navy general among them.
Among the local figures, the only ones who are good at water warfare are the future generals from Soochow or some generals from Jingzhou. Li Xiang also sent people to inquire about some information about these navy generals who had no owners for the time being, but the results were always very few, or they were missed by mistake due to various reasons. As a result, the army of 10,000 soldiers formed by Li Xiang still does not have a formal commander.
But even so, even though the combat effectiveness of the ten thousand navy army he had worked so hard to establish was low, Li Xiang still insisted on maintaining the organization of this navy army and did not cancel it easily.
It is easy to destroy but difficult to build. Although Li Xiang does not yet have a true navy general, there will always be one in the future. Rather than starting over in the future, it is better to work harder now and preserve this batch of naval forces. In the future, Li Xiang's true naval construction will be easier.
Although the navy troops currently under Li Xiang's command are not of much use, this battle is really impossible without the navy troops. Therefore, before this, Li Xiang had secretly transferred the navy troops over. Just to achieve an unexpected effect, Li Xiang temporarily hid these 10,000 navy troops.
Because in the coalition of princes, not only the princes from Jiangbei, but also Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Biao from Jiangdong and Jingzhou joined, and these two princes had naval forces under their command. Therefore, in addition to focusing Dong Zhuo's attention on the major land passes such as Hulao Pass, Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Fuyuan, and Xuanmen, Dong Zhuo also focused on the defense of the two passes of Mengjin and Xiaopingjin. Pay attention to.
This time, the opponent Li Xiang faced was Dong Zhuo's general, or more accurately, Yang Jian's general Yang Lin. As the patron king in the novel, Yang Lin's historical prototype is the combination of Zhang Xutuo and Yang Su, so he is naturally very capable. When he learned that Li Xiang's army had arrived, he personally sat at Mengjinguan, and his chief eunuch and second eunuch under his command sat at Xiaopingjin, guarding day and night and preparing for war with all their strength.
With famous generals like Yang Lin guarding the pass, Li Xiang naturally cannot attack blindly. Otherwise, even if all the navy troops under his hands are full of dissatisfaction and half a bottle of water, even if they are all dead, it will not be possible. What effect will it have.
Since he couldn't fight, he had to outsmart him. From this, Li Xiang was ready to build a plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly.
In the next few days, the troops under the two princes, Li Xiang and Bao Xin, have been pretending to collect wood on the north bank of the Yellow River with great fanfare and building tools for crossing the river.
At the same time, on a dark and stormy night, Yue Fei led his navy to raid Xiaopingjin Ferry. The eyes of the guards here, Paul Fang and Xue Liang, were both attracted by Li Xiang who was still on the north bank. Who would have thought that there would be navy troops in Bingzhou, and how could they have thought that they would be raided.
Therefore, Yue Fei succeeded easily and conquered Xiaopingjin in one battle, but both Luo Fang and Xue Liang, the defenders of Xiaopingjin, died in the rebellion.
In its heyday, Yue Fei's Yue Family Army consisted of twelve armies, namely the Beiwei Army, the Front Army, the Right Army, the Center Army, the Left Army, the Rear Army, the Tabai Army, the Selected Front Army, the Shengjie Army, the Po Enemy Army, and the Youyi Army. , Navy. The twelve armies cover infantry, cavalry, navy and other arms, and the division of labor among the twelve armies is clear.
Therefore, without a navy general, Li Xiang could only bite the bullet and let Yue Fei take over. At least among the generals under Li Xiang's command, only Yue Fei had the experience of commanding a naval force. Although I don't know if Yue Fei is good at water fighting, he is at least much more reliable than others.
Fortunately, this battle was successful in the end.
Yue Fei knew that troops were valuable and quick, so in order to create a time lag, he quickly led the army to capture Mengjing Pass just after he had just captured Xiaopingjin. He wanted to lead the army to capture Mengjing Pass before the defenders at Mengjing Pass received news of the fall of Xiaopingjin.
It's a pity that the combat effectiveness of Yue Fei's army was relatively low to begin with. After a big battle, they attacked again, and their combat effectiveness was even more uneven. But even so, under Yue Fei's command, he still successfully broke into Mengjin Pass.
It's a pity that although Yang Lin was caught off guard, he still managed to fight off Yue Fei's troops who had already penetrated the pass by relying on his superior strength and soldiers' combat power.
After the failure of the raid on Mengjinguan, Yue Fei stopped forcing and led his troops to retreat slowly. Even if this part of his soldiers took advantage of the surprise attack, they failed in the end. Now that the enemy was on guard after the attack, it was even more impossible to break through.
After successfully repelling Yue Fei's attack, Yang Lin hurriedly arranged his defense and ordered other eunuchs under his command to be on guard. Regardless of his physical fatigue, he immediately wrote a letter to report the situation here to Dong Zhuo. At the same time, he also asked Dong Zhuo for help. aid.
With the loss of Xiao Pingjin, Meng Jinguan's biggest advantage has been lost. Yang Lin had less than 20,000 troops under his command, but the enemy army was three times his number. In addition, the enemy army also has world-famous generals like General Li Xiang taking command, and Yang Lin is really not sure that Mengjin Pass will be guarded perfectly.
Under this situation, for the sake of the overall situation, Yang Lin had to go and ask for help.
