In the military tent, Bai Lang stood in front of the map with a pale face. He didn't know what to say for a long time. The newly drawn battle line on the map started from the main water area of Changshui in the south and went diagonally to the northeast, straight to the national border.
The trend of this front is almost the same as that of the main waters of Changshui.
Yongchuan City, where Bailang was located, was also passed by this front and was drawn to the south of this line. That is the south bank of Changshui.
He was not the only one looking at the map with a pale face like Bailang. There were more than ten people gathered in the tent, all with military rank of deputy general. Above them were Liu Jianyu who was sitting on a chair, and Chen Shen who was standing to Liu Jianyu's left hand side. .
Bailang actually went to Chen Shen's camp first thing in the morning. He just came to check in and didn't expect that things would suddenly develop to such an extent.
He saw Chen Shen just after entering the military camp. Before Bai Lang could speak, Chen Shen asked Bai Lang to wait in the Chinese army tent, saying that he came at the right time. The general was going to summon all the deputy generals in the army to discuss matters.
So Bailang could only suppress the doubts in his stomach temporarily. But who would have thought that in just over half an hour, Bai Lang not only solved the doubts in the two pieces of news reported by Zhou Dong in the morning, but was also completely shocked by the cause of the incident and was speechless for a long time.
Tianfeng Plain was actually bypassed! ?
This news was the first thing Liu Jianyu asked Chen Shen to inform all deputy generals in the army to give a speech.
As soon as this news came out, Bailang was dumbfounded. He had thought about the Yunyan army marching through the Tianfeng Plain and tearing the defenses on the plain to pieces. He had also thought about the Yunyan barbarians being dragged on the Tianfeng Plain and being forced to withdraw their troops and return to the outside of the Pass by the cruel methods of clearing the field and burning the plains. .
But Bailang never thought that Yunyan's men and horses could actually bypass Tianfeng Plain and go north and east! Not only has this never appeared in history books, but it also does not exist in the imagination of those who have studied the tactics of the Yunyan barbarians generation after generation in the Hong Dynasty for hundreds of years. Because there is a natural chasm, and Yunyan Barbarian is not a full-scale Qi practitioner, how easy is it to cross the natural chasm?
But now this impossibility has become possible. Yunyan Barbarian directly bypassed most of the defenses in Tianfeng Plain and found another way to divide his troops into two groups. They continued to hold back Hong Chao on the front line at the junction of Pengshan City and Tianfeng Plain, and went north and east along the Changshui River. Directly threatening the cities along the entire southern bank of Changshui.
Unfortunately, although Yongchuan City is located deep in the northeast, it is still on the south bank of Changshui and has become one of the targets directly threatened by Yunyan's army. Although the distance is still far away and there are still many variables, Hong Chao's defense strategy must be taken into consideration and corresponding preparations must be made.
"For this reason, the entire south bank of Changshui has now become a front-line war zone, just like the Tianfeng Plain. In order to prevent people's hearts from wandering, and there is no longer the conditions to build a strong wall and clear the field like the Tianfeng Plain, each city can only Watching each other, they have become a nail in the way of the Yunyan Barbarians heading north and east. At the same time, they will use Changshui as a new natural barrier, build an offensive on the north bank, and dispatch corresponding garrison troops.
However, the army was held back a lot in the Tianfeng Plain, and the rest could not simply withdraw, so it would take time for the army to return to support. The first group to come over will be the Qi practitioners gathered on the Tianfeng Plain. There are casual cultivators and disciples of the Imperial Sect’s Yun Sect, and there are quite a few of them, and their cultivation levels are all masters from the late Qi-entraining realm to the mid-Xuanmai realm.”
This is the situation. Although Liu Jianyu said it clearly, it sounds like the country did not panic about this major change in the war situation, but made contingency measures that sounded feasible. Moreover, the strength of the Barbarians will definitely be weakened after the troops are divided. In addition, the terrain towards the northeast from Changshui will have undulating mountains, which is not as gentle as the Tianfeng Plain towards Shunning. It is impossible to advance quickly.
If it continues, it is really possible that the Yunyan army crossing the border will be dragged to death, or it may be forced to retreat outside the customs.
In short, the situation is unexpected and not good news, but it is not completely unacceptable, and it has not reached the point where the situation will collapse quickly.
But these situation judgments are based on the overall general trend between Guochao and Yunyan. If we narrow it down to a specific place, such as Yongchuan City, which is three-quarters of an acre, the current situation is not an "acceptable" range, but is equivalent to suddenly falling into a big pit, and spade after shovel. Mud was filling in from outside the pit, and the danger and tension of being buried alive made people breathless.
"General, can we still get reinforcements on the south bank of Changshui?"
"There are still supplies and troops, but the rules in the army are that everything should focus on the core area and the rest. Now the defense center of the country is on the north bank of Changshui, not on our side. So the reinforcements will be huge. There are reductions.
In addition, inspections along the Changshui River will be more stringent, and the possibility of blocking the river at any time cannot be ruled out. "
When Liu Jianyu said this, Bailang secretly thought to himself, and sure enough, this was the reason why the two news yesterday was clearly from the army, but the defenders of Yongchuan City knew nothing about it. This has begun to draw a clear line between the two sides of the Changshui River in all aspects.
What are you guarding against? Everyone knows it.
"General, Yongchuan City is still far away from the front line of the army, and the situation is special. Can you please ask the Ministry of War Yamen to take special care of it? Can you at least tilt the reinforcements towards us? At the same time, give us more supplies, and the people in the city should also be evacuated. Plan?"
"General, Yongchuan City is a major ordnance production center, at least in several surrounding state capitals. It is second to none. Wouldn't it be bad if such an important place fell into the hands of barbarians?"
Inquiries came one after another, all with the same meaning, that is, they hope to use the special characteristics of Yongchuan City to gain more convenience.
But Liu Jianyu shook his head and said: "You don't need to think about these things for the time being. No matter how important Yongchuan City is, it can't compare to the entire battle. And when the barbarians really come to our side, how much thought do you think the country can give to defense? Just a Yongchuan City?
As for the people's information, it is temporarily blocked to avoid confusion. "
As soon as these words came out, there was complete silence. Some looked hesitant, some couldn't bear it, some were calm, and some looked thoughtful.
"Also, Bailang."
"My subordinate is here!"
"You are most familiar with the industrial park. Now that the situation has changed, the demand for ordnance has surged. After all, those were sent to Tianfeng Plain before. It will take more time to send them back or make arrangements again. Our Yongchuan The city has waterways, so you need to find a way to increase the output of the industrial park.
The two new companies also need your cooperation and strive to produce something as soon as possible. "
"My subordinate understands!"
Everyone dispersed from the big tent. Everyone returned to their own territory, the expressions on their faces were ashen. Everyone understands what the general said today.
