"Prefect, Yiling fell. Most of the generals such as Zongze and Wenyang died in the battle. The county magistrate Ma Di burned the food and grass, which delayed the escape time. In the end, Chengren was killed. Only two generals, Tanlong and Yuchijiong, led the thousands. The rest of the soldiers broke through and fled to Baidi City!"
"The Shu army pursued the two generals, but was ambushed by General Yuchi. In the end, they suffered a small defeat!" Yu Wenxian strode into the lobby and said sadly.
General Zongze is so tragic!
The leader led the bloody battle to the last moment, but his old body still suffered 21 wounds and refused to surrender. Thirty-seven Jin army warriors used their bodies to protect the old general Zongze. However, thirty-eight people, including General Zongze, were killed by enemy arrows!
General Wenyang is so tragic!
One man single-handedly killed the five enemy generals Wang Huan, Zhang Kai, Xu Jing, Bai Xiaode, and Bai Yuanguang. After being seriously injured, he fought alone against the six generals Huan Shiqian, Yang Kan, Deng Zilong, Zhao Jizu, Deng Xia, and Wu Zhiqi. He launched a decisive attack at all costs. In the end, General Liu Xiu and Wu Zhiqi were seriously injured at the cost of being dismembered!
A battle that shocked the world!
General Xue Tong is so tragic!
First, he severely damaged Zhu Liang's group at the cost of a broken arm, and then used his broken body to lead the fifty-eight warriors in a desperate fight against Zhu Di. Although they failed, Zhu Di's son was not injured at all in the end, but Zheng Jing was killed with his life. Three generals, Zheng Keshuang and Cheng Dechen.
Our Jin army officers and men are so tragic!
None of the more than a thousand soldiers who followed the old general Zong Ze were surrendered, and they all fought to the death. With the strength of a thousand men, despite being outnumbered, we still managed to kill three times the enemy's troops.
Most of the soldiers, even their complete bodies could not be found after the war!
When the battle report came, Yu Wenxian could not wait to leave the city in person, fight to the death with the enemy troops outside the city, and avenge the generals and soldiers.
When the news came, Zhuge Liang had to shake his body!
This news is a big blow to every Jin army soldier!
"What was the enemy's movement after they captured Yiling?" Zhuge Liang had already recovered his mood in an instant and asked dully.
"Report to the Grand Administrator, the enemy troops are coming straight towards my direction of Jiangling!" Yu Wenxian replied solemnly!
Jiang Ling is able to persist until now, which is due to Zhuge Liang's best efforts!
The enemy's strength was several times greater than theirs, and whether it was Xu Shiji, Liu Xiu, and Zhou Yu at the beginning, and then Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Wu Zixu, Xu Da, Wang He, Tian Dan, and so on. Which one is easier to deal with?
Zhuge Liang has been able to persist in the hands of so many people until now. Even if he were replaced by any other general of the Jin army, how many of them could do it to this extent? In other words, how many people can guarantee that they can achieve this level?
Yes, there are indeed many people in the Jin army whose commanding abilities are superior to Zhuge Liang's, especially those god-level commanders!
However, in the battle between the two armies, in addition to the commander, their intelligence level is also an important factor that tests both sides, especially now that Zhuge Liang's intelligence attribute has been forced to reach the god level.
And Zhuge Liang's intelligence attributes that were forced during this period actually broke through to the god level, which also shows how much pressure he was under during this period!
If the commander cooperates with his intelligence, how many people in the Jin army can defeat Zhuge Liang?
Although there is an extra Li Mu in Nanjun, it is precisely because of Li Mu's arrival that people like Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Wu Zixu, Xu Da, Wang He, and Tian Dan also appeared in Nanjun! This is why Zhuge Liang is under so much pressure now!
"So, Nanjun is in danger!" Zhuge Liang became more and more bitter!
After the enemy army defeated Yiling, they had two ways to go. One was to continue westward to Baidi City until they reached Jiangzhou City again, and the other was to attack Jiangling again with Xu Shiji and others. Got it!
In fact, no matter which one the enemy chooses among these two roads, it is not a good thing for the Jin army!
If the enemy army continues to advance westward to Baidi City until it reaches Jiangzhou City again, it will always be a threat to Wu Qi's back!
And if Hui, Xu Shiji and the others attack Jiangling again, Zhuge Liang, who is almost unable to support himself, will face even greater pressure. After conquering Yiling, Liu Xiu and Zhu Di still had about 30,000 troops left, but Zhuge Liang didn't have that many troops in Jiangling now!
Now that the enemy has chosen Jiangling as the priority direction to break through, it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang's Yangzhou Group is dominating everything behind the scenes. After all, if this path is chosen, it will be the greatest benefit to Zhu Yuanzhang's Yangzhou Group.
Indeed, as Zhuge Liang expected, Zhu Yuanzhang's will has always existed behind this.
First, after Yiling, Baidi and Jiangcheng were both in trouble, and the Jin army's war in Badi had reached its most critical moment. Zhu Yuanzhang was not confident enough that he could advance to Baidi and then open the gate of Jiangzhou before the Jin army broke through Badi.
Secondly, it would be of greatest benefit to Zhu Yuanzhang to concentrate his efforts on capturing the Jingxiang land first.
Thirdly, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want Liu Che to be destroyed by the Jin army. This was because the Jin army had no one to control it. But now the princes of the world are united to attack Jin. If the Jin army is defeated, then the destruction of Liu Che will be more beneficial to Zhu Yuanzhang.
As long as the Central Plains and southern princes unite to attack Jingxiang, and then join forces with the northern princes to break through the Siyong Gate with a million troops, the Jin army will be defeated. As long as the war situation can be advanced to this extent, Liu Che will die, and it will be convenient for Zhu Yuanzhang to seize Bashu from the Jin army.
It is easier to take Bashu from a Jin army who has been attacked hard by the princes of the world than from Liu Che, who has been firmly seated in Bashu for many years and the people are attached to him.
If Jingxiang is defeated, the armies of the princes can cooperate with the northern princes under Hulao Pass to attack Siyong Prefecture from Nanyang. Especially Yongzhou is at its weakest at this time.
Therefore, Nanyang has always been the bottom line of the Jin army and Yue Fei. It is precisely because this geographical location is so important that Jiangxia, Nanjun, and Yue Fei did not send any additional reinforcements to Li Mu and Zhuge Liang.
Nanyang itself is also under a lot of pressure, and the pressure it faces is no less than that of Nanjun and Jiangxia, or even greater. Sending reinforcements may not necessarily save Jiangxia and Nanjun. On the contrary, accidents may occur in Nanyang.
It is precisely because this geographical location is so important that Yue Fei is not allowed to send Huo Qu's sick soldiers out of the Central Plains. It can even be said that he wants to defeat the princes of the Central Plains by any means.
And precisely because of this, after Bai Qi returned to Yongzhou, his first concern was not the war between Liangzhou and Xizhou, but instead went to Lantian and Wuguan to inspect the front lines.
Being prepared, Bai Qi had already made preparations for the fall of Jingxiang and used the dangerous location of Wuguan to establish a second line of defense. No general in the world dares to guarantee that if they are replaced by Yue Fei, they can definitely defend Jingxiang!
With the pressure Jing Xiang is facing now, Yue Fei has no confidence in defending, and other famous generals in the world do not have this absolute certainty.
It was precisely because Zhu Yuanzhang and his civil and military forces saw this with the eyes of an outstanding military strategist that they wanted to attack Jiangling after Yiling and conquer Nanjun in one fell swoop. Then he leveled Xiangyang, besieged Yue Fei of Nanyang from all sides, and captured Jingxiang in one fell swoop.
