Chapter 4 Revisiting the Old Place (Continued)

Jiang Shan, Zhou army camp, and the marching generals were summoned to discuss matters. Although there were a total of nine marching generals present, the other eight marching generals were controlled by Tan Rang, and it was nothing else. Tan Rang was a person who was deeply trusted by Yuchi Cheng.

Nine years ago, Emperor Tianyuan of Zhou State Yuwen Yun died, and his relative Yang Jian seized power. The general manager of Xiangzhou, Yuchi Jiong, raised an army to rebel against Yang. Tan Rang then entered Henan under the order of Yuchi Jiong, and competed with Yang Jian's men for Henan prefectures and counties. He fought for years and made countless military achievements.

The Sui Kingdom that Yang Jian usurped was destroyed, the old Prime Minister Yuchi had passed away, and the young Prime Minister Yuchi succeeded him. Of course, he would continue to reuse the normally reliable generals such as Tan Rang.

Today, the marshal of Jiangnan Road, Yuchi Youqi, is under his command of the elite soldiers and generals of the Yuchi group. This time, Yuchi Youqi was in charge of Jiangbei and sent two marching commanders to cross the river. The left wing went to Jingkou, and the commander was Tan Rang.

The right wing was quarrying, and the head coach was Xichaluo, who is now the younger brother of Yizhou general manager Xipiluo. Both of them were capable generals of the Yuchi and his group. They were the left arm and right arm specially prepared for their younger brother Yuchi Youqi.

Yuchi Youqi was under his command, and even the navy was specially allocated from the Qingzhou General Administration Office, absolutely obeying the command, and did not need reinforcements from the Huangzhou navy in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, so as not to be slandered and secretly do evil.

The soldiers used their lives like arms and fingers, and the long-standing marshal Sima who had been through the battlefield to eliminate difficulties, Yuchi Youqi's achievements in destroying the country were determined.

"Jiangshan, originally named Zhongshan, was killed by Jiang Ziwen, the wielding thieves in the Han Dynasty. Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu in the late Han Dynasty was appointed as Marquis of Jiangshan. Later, in order to avoid his ancestors' taboos, Zhongshan was renamed Jiangshan. Therefore, Jiangshan was used by the people of Jiangbiao and Zhongshan mixed with it. Don't be confused."

"The river surface is rainy, especially in the rainy season. A rain can fall for more than half a month, so each department must choose a high place to camp. Remember, it is a high place that cannot be flooded!"

"Our army camped here because we were urgently following the power, so we had many inadequate considerations. You go back and take a closer look at your camp. If it is really inappropriate, move it immediately!"

"Once it is rainy, it will be rainy and muddy everywhere. Don't say that the clothes are wet, even the firewood is wet. It is not easy to make a fire and cook, so you must prepare dry firewood in advance and store it properly for later use."

"We should also pay attention to moisture-proof and flood-proof for horses!"

"On rainy days, the roads are muddy and slippery, and grain trucks are not easy to travel, so it is easy to stay in the middle. The transfer points along the way should be prepared to prevent the grain and grass from being wet by the rain."

"The bowstrings must be kept properly to avoid being damp and unbearable for a long time..."

Tan Rang explained many matters tirelessly, and he emphasized these matters a few days ago when he set up the village. He mentioned them specifically today because it was April and the river was starting to rain, so he had to prepare in advance.

It's not that he was long-winded, but that it was important. Although the Zhou army led by him had approached Jiankang, if the war was not going well, he might be unable to invade Jiankang in an urgent manner. Then the confrontation with Chen's army outside the city and in the suburbs outside the city will last for a long time.

Will this happen? It is very likely, but the generals have different opinions, because if Chen Jun did not let them approach Jiankang so easily, but in fact, they are really approaching health.

What the hell were the king and minister of Chen? No matter how optimistic the general was before the war, he did not expect his actions to be so smooth.

The Zhou army was very progressing. After crossing the river, the Chen army of Jiankang was still sitting still, allowing them to gather their troops and approach Jiankang. At first, the Zhou army generals thought that the other party deliberately showed weakness and paralyzed them, so they worked step by step, and the march was not fast at the beginning.

As a result, based on the confession of Chen's surrendered soldiers, Tan Rang learned that the Chen court was really watching the Zhou army approaching Jiankang, and he really did not dispatch troops to guard the important places along the way. In a disbelief, he immediately made a quick decision to speed up his march and arrived directly at Jiangshan in the northeastern suburbs of Jiankang, and set up camp.

Considering the rainy south of the Yangtze River, the Zhou army camp was located at a high place, close to the water source, and also took into account the transportation of food and grass. It was thoughtful, but Tan Rang didn't dare to take it lightly, and patrolled the camp again and again, just in case.

To prevent waterlogging, water attacks and sneak attacks, and the current Zhou army must prevent fire from being detonated to prevent those powerful thunders, which will be bad at that time.

The Zhou army was the first to invest in the Sky Thunder in the war with the Sui army. After several years of use, they have quite a lot of experience and experience. These Sky Thunders the size of human heads are stored on weekdays and are afraid of fire during transportation. Once one of them is detonated, all Sky Thunders will be ruined.

Therefore, when camping, the sky-blasting thunder must be stored separately and must be strictly guarded, so as not to be sneaked in and set fire by the enemy, and the entire camp will be in trouble at that time.

Such precedents are not lacking. The Sui army and the current Chen army sent dead soldiers into the camp when fighting with the Zhou army, trying to detonate the thunder. Most of these actions failed, but they were successful several times, resulting in heavy casualties in the Zhou army.

As the Zhou army used a large number of thunder in combat, the deterrence of this weapon gradually became smaller, and the Chen army soldiers began to adapt and would no longer be scared by the thunder in explosion and would turn around and run away.

But even so, the Sky Thunder was still useful to knock on the dense stair formation, so the Zhou army attacking Jiankang this time still brought a lot of Sky Thunder, so the head coach Tan Rang paid great attention to the safety of Sky Thunder.

He finished the discussion and made various arrangements, went to check the storage of the sky-blasting thunder, and left with confidence after everything was correct.

Yuchi Youqi wants to make great contributions, but he also wants to make great contributions. As long as he captures Jiankang, the Chen Kingdom will be done. When the world is unified and the generals want to make great contributions, they may have to go to the grassland to chase the Turkic cavalry and fight for their lives.

No, there is another chance, that is...

Tan Rang didn't think about it carefully. This was not the time to think about it. His duty was to conquer Jiankang. As for Prime Minister Yuchi's future, he would think about it again.

Standing on the southeast foot of Jiangshan, you can already see the outline of Jiankang City with your naked eyes. Of course, Chen Jun has already camped outside Jiankang, and some even camped outside Kukang, like a wall lying across the Zhou army.

Jiankang City is divided into cities and contours like other large cities. The city has city walls, while the contours of Jiankang are outer contour fences surrounded by wooden fences. For these wooden fences, it is easy to break through, but you must first break through Chen Jun's defense.

Tan Rang used a thousand-mile mirror to look at the capital of the Southern Dynasty. It seemed that Chen Jun wanted to defend the city (Ku) until the rainy season arrived. If the other party really planned to do this, it would be really a headache.

According to the submissions and surrendered soldiers, the Chen army in Jiankang and its surrounding areas was nearly 100,000, while the Zhou army approaching Jiankang, one in the south and one in the north, did not have that many. The troops did not have the advantage but had to attack the city. Even if the Zhou army had strong combat power, it would be very difficult to fight.

Not to mention that the rainy season is really coming. If we can’t fight, would we really want to withdraw our troops?

Tan Rang put away the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and looked at the familiar environment in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion: This city and the land under his feet, he finally revisited the old place again.

A vague sound came from afar. Tan Rang looked at Jiankang with a thousand-mile mirror again, and then he was stunned: vaguely, it seemed that there was movement in the East Gugun and Beiguen Gate, and a large number of Chen Jun began to show off.

After a while, the cavalry rushed back to the camp and ran to him panting and reported: "Master General! Many Chen soldiers are out of the city and lined up!!"

"Beat the drum!"

Tan Rang turned around and walked towards the central army tent, pressing the sword tightly with his left hand, his face calm but his heart was already filled with storms: Chen Jun came out to die by himself, I just need to defeat the enemy in one battle, and Jiankang will take things from his bag!

His back gradually blurred, and vaguely returned to thirty-three years ago. A thin figure appeared among the pile of dead people. He was a young soldier from Qi army who avoided the disaster by pretending to be dead. He was covered in blood, hunger and cold, and looked at the corpses on the ground and were crying without tears.

Taking advantage of the dim sky, he limped northward and took several days to escape to the riverside. He swam across the river with a bamboo in his arms. When he was exhausted, he finally arrived in Jiangbei.
