Chapter 2258 Raid on Jiangxia

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although Chen Kedi¡¯s vision was very good, the actual situation was not like that.

    From Xiling to Jiangxia, if you bypass Wuchang, it is almost 170 miles, and they are all on small roads close to the lakes.  There are many lakes in Jiangxia, and the areas connected around the lakes are already filled with wetlands and swamps, which are muddy and difficult to navigate, and there is even a danger of falling into them in some places.  No matter how you look at it, it seems crazy for the army to walk this way on a windy and rainy day.

    Everyone was talking a lot, and they all wanted to persuade Chen Kedi to give up this idea.

    "If it were Zuowuwei and Yinshan Army back then, they would have been able to charge forward even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead of them. They had iron discipline and steel-like soles.

    But the armies in the south, including Tiancewei and Shencewei, were mostly adapted from old armies, and they could not compare with Zuowuwei in terms of combat effectiveness or willpower.

    Chen Kedi looked at the fearful expressions of the generals below. He knew that his prestige in the army was far from reaching the level of prohibition, and so was Mai Mengcai.

    So Chen Kedi said: "The four armies of the left leading guard are divided into four divisions. Together with the right leading guard, which one do you think has the lowest status and the worst combat effectiveness among these armies?"

    Everyone was a little puzzled. They were talking about the raid on Jiangxia, why did they mention it again.

    However, everyone also spoke one after another. Some said "Sixty-three Army" and some said "Sixty Army", but most of them were "Sixty Army" and "Sixty-third Army". After all, these two armies are  A force adapted from the original bandit army.

    Chen Kedi suddenly said: "I think it's hard to say who has the worst combat effectiveness, but the one with the lowest status should be our 59th Army."

    "General, be careful what you say!"

    Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction. These days, you can scold yourself no matter what, but outsiders can't say it, especially when it's about honor.

    Chen Kedi chuckled and said, "Why, you are not convinced!"

    ¡°I don¡¯t accept it, of course I don¡¯t.

    Chen Kedi continued: "The two guards and ten armies in the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention the battalions led by the left and right guards. Not to mention his background, there were countless tough battles in Anhui, Wangjiang, Lianhuatang, Pengze, etc., and he was the son of the prince.  Guard troops, are you able to compete?"

    Everyone agreed that they couldn¡¯t compare.

    "The right leader leads the Fourth Army of the Guard. The 61st Army is the old base for Wei Ping's rebellion in Jiangnan; the 62nd Army is the old base for Sui'an Hou Ping and Liu Yuanjin; the 63rd Army is almost from the Jiangnan rebels, but since the Western Expedition,  The Southern Route Army has always been spearheaded by the Sixty-third Army. They fought the battles of Poyang, Ganjiang, and Shibu. Who can compare with you? As for the Sixty-fourth Army, the army established by Duke Wei himself has already passed the Second World War.  It has been ten years, which is earlier than the history of all the troops. There are even people who followed Duke Wei to fight in Guizhou, which you can compare with.

    Looking at the armies of the left leading guard, the Fifty-seventh Army was from the Forbidden Army, and was led by Shanyang Marquis himself, and was the vanguard of Lin Shihong's march southward; the Fifty-eighth Army was also from the Forbidden Army, and this time it was responsible for marching eastward to quell the rebellion of the South Route Army.  As for the Sixty Army, which you look down upon, the whole court was full of praise for the battle in Huaining. This time, he was ordered to counter the rebellion of the Northern Route Army. Deputy General Du Fuwei marched eastward and won consecutive battles.  After pacifying Fugong Er, another great achievement was achieved.  Tell me, when the armies discuss their merits in the future, who will you compare to?  "

    When the generals heard this, they were all a little stunned. Unknowingly, they really seemed to be inferior to anyone else.

    They were not from the Forbidden Army, nor were they personally led by the Crown Prince, nor were they formed by Duke Wei. They were originally composed of two rebel armies, the 60th Army and the 63rd Army, which were looked down upon, but now they are not even as good as the rebels.

    Chen Kedi added: "There are eighteen guards in the world and more than 500,000 field troops. No one knows whether there will be so many after the war. If you can't fight bravely to be the first, achieve great achievements and maintain your position, there will be more in the future."  There will be no Fifty-Ninth Army, we still don¡¯t know.¡±

    Everyone was frightened, didn¡¯t they just want to march in the rain?  Why is it still involved in the question of whether it will be abolished?

    The generals looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

    At this time, Chen Yue, the deputy lieutenant general, stood up and said: "It is the duty of a warrior to fight bravely and be loyal to the country. We do not want to fall behind others. We are willing to follow the order of joining the army and raid Jiangxia."

    Chen Yue is Chen Leng's cousin and has been in Chen Leng's army.  Although he only served as deputy lieutenant general, after Chen Leng was transferred, he became the real talker of this unit.

    With Chen Yue taking the lead, other generals will not object.

    So an agreement was reached, and Chen Kedi ordered Zhou Shaoze to lead his troops to Wuchang to regain this place and destroy the remaining troops of Zhang Wenjie. Chen Kedi personally led the main force of the 59th Army and headed straight to Jiangxia in the rain.

    The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and I don¡¯t know when it will stop.  Chen Kedi was also puzzled. It's such a winter, why does it rain so much?

    Even snow is better than rain.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Wearing cotton-padded jackets is not enough when marching on a cold day. After all, wet clothes not only cannot keep out the cold, but also absorb water and gain weight.  Therefore, a batch of coir raincoats were made temporarily to protect the soldiers from rain.

    Wearing hats and raincoats, everyone braved the heavy rain and marched forward on the muddy road.

    Those trails were not easy to walk, but they were washed away by heavy rain and immediately turned into mud.  If someone walks on it, they can't even pull it out if they step on it.

    At this time, horses are of no use. After all, in the military, horses are more delicate than humans.  Therefore, everyone from Chen Kedi to soldiers can only rely on these two feet.

    Including Chen Kedi.

    Everyone advised him to take a carriage to avoid the rain, but how could Chen Kedi agree?  The soldiers were not willing to march in the rain. As the commander-in-chief, he set an example and everyone had nothing to say.

    If you do something special in front of your subordinates, they may even be unable to move.  At this time xinding dianxs w.c*om Zhang Si

    Of course, the price is also heavy. Chen Kedi has never suffered like this in his life, and he has experienced it all this time.

    The rain washed away and it was difficult to tell the direction.  Although he was wearing a raincoat, his inner clothes were already soaked.  The cold was biting and even the hands and feet were numb.  &#24378&#29306&#32&#120&#105&#110&#100&#105&#110&#103&#100&#105&#97&#110&#120&#115&#119&#46&#99&#111&#109&#32&#35835&#2930 6

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how many people fell to the ground from exhaustion and cold, unable to get up.

    The food had already been soaked by the rain, and everyone could only stuff rotten mud-like pancakes into their mouths to satisfy their hunger.  It has no taste, probably no better than mud.

    In such an environment, the Sui army walked for two full days and two nights. By the time they arrived at the gate of Jiangxia City, all their baggage and belongings had been lost. Each man had only one weapon, and some even threw away their armor.

    Looking from a distance, the 59th Army, with everyone covered in grass, looked like a team of beggars.

    The Sui army paid a huge price for this raid. Countless people froze to death and fell behind along the way. However, the Sui army's raid was also successful.  Zhi Da Zhi Xiao

    Faced with the sudden attack of the Sui army, the guard general Yan Qi was unprepared and caught off guard, so he rushed into the city for the Sui army.  The Fifty-ninth Army was able to hold back this fire and vented it on Li Tang's army in Jiangxia.

    In this battle, Yan Qi was captured and Jiangxia City was recovered. The Jiangxia defense line that Li Shimin had painstakingly anticipated had lost its most important link before it came into play
