The court wants results, not processes.
According to the news brought back by the sentry riders, Qi Fang confirmed that the peasant army had given up the vast area in the north of Nancheng County, and the main force was the first-line protection station in Nancheng, and Nancheng North could March safely.
On October 16th, Qi Fang occupied Jinxi County, Fuzhou, and arranged a logistics base, and then further led 40,000 steps to ride south to Nancheng County.
There is a branch of Rushui River, Song Jun, Jinxi County, which enters Rushui River through Jinxi River, and then goes all the way south along Rushui River, which can directly reach Nancheng without obstacles, so that some ships carrying the trench can be blocked by the smooth passage method.
Unless the peasant army sends its main force to confront him.
That’s good. He can’t ask for it. He really wants to have a face-to-face strength contest with the peasant army
He felt that he could study his post-war development from the perspective of strength and position.
On the way to the south of the army, he found that the situation was indeed similar to that of the spies.
I haven’t met unruly people, and I haven’t found anyone in the village, but I have met many Ruye villages.
If it’s simple, forget it. In these villages, there are still many people who have deliberately stayed in the machine. Song Bing is either dead or injured.
There is not a grain in the village, and all the wells are blocked by stones. There are no available materials in the low and dilapidated houses.
It’s autumn harvest season, but the grain in the field has been harvested completely, and few broken grains can be found.
The marching road has been destroyed, and it is very difficult for people to walk and force vehicles and horses to move forward.
Some rivers and bridges have also been damaged, and ferries have also been damaged-it is difficult to move on without repair.
All these have greatly affected the marching speed of Qi Fang’s troops.
Qi Fang, while feeling uncomfortable, also felt that this group of rebels was unusual, and it was not easy to carry out such a thorough plan of clearing the field.
This reminds him of Shao Hongyuan’s two defeats, so he secretly raised some vigilance in his heart and became more careful during the March.
As a result, when he arrived in Nancheng County, he was surprised to find that it was also a city.
All the food, drink and energy have been moved away, leaving no way but to shelter from the wind and rain. Houses are made of wood, stone and mud.
No one, no animals, two-legged running and four-legged running are gone.
Is the wall clear to this point?
Qi Fang was a little surprised, but there was no other way to make the army take a rest in the county for a while and then continue to send people to spy on the military situation in the south
He doesn’t think the rebels can be so stubborn and clear.
But that’s the truth. He sent a spy whistle to ride near Nanfeng County without any obstacles, but when he was near Nanfeng County, he encountered obstacles and was found and attacked by the armed peasant army. Several people left to run.
There is no doubt that the rebels have married Nanfeng county!
Chapter 9 How can the route for providing foodstuff be broken?
According to the Privy Council’s plan, Qi Fang now needs South.
And Nanqian also needs to leave some troops behind to ensure the logistics food in Nancheng County.
Since the other side has moved all those unruly people away, Song Jun can’t get supplies from the ground, so he can ask for transportation from the rear.
So Song Jun’s requirements for logistics personnel and logistics ships are getting bigger.
Fortunately, it is October, and the weather is not cold. Generally, the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River will not freeze or break the ice unless it is really cold. In that extremely cold weather, it can be said that it is not their problem that the weather is beautiful.
Rao’s logistics and grain placement also greatly slowed down Qi Fang’s March.
However, Qi Fang thinks it is necessary because the logistics route is really very important and he has learned the experience of Maeda’s defeat and death. He really attaches great importance to logistics.
Finally, after further preparations are completed, Qi was able to lead the main force all the way down the river to attack Nanfeng County.
He feels that although the rebels here have some ability to make a strong wall and clear the field, in the face of Song Jun’s absolute superiority, they will fight Song Jun sooner or later unless they retreat again.
Moreover, there is a limit to retreat. Now, if you keep retreating, there will always be a time to retreat, not to mention holding so many unruly people back together.
Sooner or later, he will chase and kill him.
If it weren’t for his lack of cavalry, he really wanted to send cavalry to chase quickly and give the rebels and local unruly people a good eye, so that they could know what a real army is and what a Dasong elite is.
Very cruel!
But he didn’t know that the "rebels" and "unruly people" were preparing to launch the bravest counterattack against them with full courage and tenacity just because they knew how vicious they were.
On October 25th, led by Qi Fang of Song Jun, he arrived in the north of Nanfeng County, where he camped.
According to the observation, there are indeed military forces stationed in Nanfeng County to defend and there are indeed traces of rebels, so Qi Fang confirmed that there is a limit to the rebels’ fortified positions.
He corners of the mouth outlined a smile, everything is under control 】 【 feel has touched the rebel limit.
Obviously, the rebels have been trying to continue to escape south with those unruly people. It is necessary to stop them in Nanfeng County, and the Qi side has confirmed that those former scouts who attacked him are trudging south of Nanfeng County at the moment.
And want him to break Nanfeng county as soon as possible to get back at those unruly people who don’t know how to live or die.
So he arrayed himself and began to command the army to attack Nanfeng County. He first wiped out all military obstacles outside Nanfeng County, and then forced Quzhou and Xinzhou to recruit 20,000 cannon fodder with sandbags to fill the pits and moats with long-range weapons from Nanfeng County.
The 20,000 able-bodied men recruited by Quzhou and Xinzhou were not effectively protected. The large wooden curtains were all to protect the imperial soldiers, and the roots could not protect the cannon fodder. So it took them three days and three nights to finally fill the pit.
There is still a long way to go before the moat is filled.
But it doesn’t matter. Qi Fang forced these civilian workers to fill a moat to ensure that they could pass people, and then they began to benefit from this passage to transport soldiers and siege ordnance and began to attack Nanfeng County.
Nanfeng County is a small town. The original wall was two or three meters high, and the peasant army’s emergency construction raised the wall to five meters. The defense force greatly increased, and the damage to Song Jun was even greater.
However, a few small casualties are not in Qi Fang’s eyes. If his final victory is this kind of Song Jun’s pressure on the peasant army to suddenly and violently beat, it will be a great achievement.
The number of defenders of the peasant army guarding the city is obviously not as much as that of Song Jun, and it is not difficult to resist.
Three days after the siege of Nanfeng County, Song Jun began the ant-attached landing link, and at this time, the peasant army was forced to fight with Song Jun in close combat, repelling the Qi attack again and again with the advantage and courage of guarding the city.
As time goes by, Nanfeng County is becoming more and more dangerous.
