Chapter 452 Li Jin was ordered by Shao Fang to command the Central Army to recapture the Zhenjiang Water Division Camp occupied by the Feng Army.
At present, there are not many central troops stationed in Zhenjiang, with more than 500,000 troops, and even if the cavalry is removed, at least more than 400,000 infantry can be used.
However, the troops sent by Shao Fang to Li Jin were only 200,000, and Li Jin himself did not have much hope of recapturing the naval battalion.
Although he is the general of Mozambique, but just a name, in fact, he has an empty stomach, he does not have much real talent and learning, and the actual combat experience is pitiful, through the past experience of Mozambique, all wars led by Li Jin are finally deadlocked.
So far, he doesn't know how many specific troops the enemy has, and he doesn't know which regiment is occupying the Zhenjiang Navy camp, and he doesn't even know who the enemy's main general is, which is tantamount to making him a blind commander to command this battle, how can Li Jin, who is already not confident in his own ability, have a high fighting spirit He left the palace with Gao Hang, and on the way, Li Jin kept asking Gao Hang about the enemy's situation.
The latter also knows very little, but he has heard from his subordinates that the enemy's strength is no less than 100,000, and the combat power is very strong, as for the rest of the information, he knows nothing.
After Li Jin heard this, his heart was suddenly cold, his knowledge of the art of war told him that only three times the enemy can attack the fortification, if the enemy army has more than 100,000, how can he only lead an army of 200,000 to fight, not to mention that the opponent is still known for its courage and good fighting.
He sighed for a long time, shook his head again and again, and muttered vigorously: "This battle is very difficult, this battle is very difficult."
Seeing his appearance, Gao Hang also lamented in his heart, the big war is coming, and the generals who are the commanders have no confidence, so how can the soldiers below have the determination to fight bloody battles and kill the enemy desperately He said: "The general can rest assured as soon as possible, we can use a two-pronged approach, the general will lead the infantry to attack the enemy head-on, and the last general will lead the water army to attack the enemy from the water. ” After hearing this, Li Jin sneered self-deprecatingly and said, "If the enemy is so easy to defeat, they will not be the Wind Army, and our naval battalion will not be lost." ” Before the war, he actually said such frustrating words, Gao Hang was so angry that he really wanted to slap him twice, if he was not a general.
Leaving the palace, Li Jin was about to go to the military camp outside the city to order troops, when he happened to meet the oncoming Taifu Zhang Rong.
Zhang Rong also heard the rumors, saying that the Feng army had now captured the camp of the Zhenjiang Water Division, and he couldn't sit still at home, so he wanted to see what was going on in the palace, but he met Li Jin and Gao Hang halfway.
After meeting, he couldn't bother to greet him, Zhang Rong asked urgently: "I heard that the camp of the Zhenjiang Water Division was lost, what is going on?"
"Alas" Li Jin sighed, raised his head to Gao Hang on the side, and said: "This matter, it's still up to General Gao to talk about it" The implication is that Gao Hang, as the commander of the navy, how the navy battalion was lost, he has the most right to speak.
How could Gao Hang not hear Li Jin's complaining and sarcasm, his jade face turned red, and he patiently told Zhang Rong about the truth of the matter.
Zhang Rong didn't care about the whole story, he only cared about whether the news was true or not, and now when he heard that the Navy Commander's camp was indeed captured by the Feng Army, his heart was completely cold.
At this time, he had already made up his mind that the country of Mozambique was dead.
If the wind army had not crossed the river, Mozambique might still be able to support it, and now that the wind army had crossed the river, then the day of the fall of the capital would not be far away.
Now, it's time to plan for your future retreat.
Thinking of this, he secretly rejoiced again, fortunately, he had a lot of contacts with the Wind Country at the beginning, and there were still two Feng people living in his mansion, Liang Ren and Liu Yang, through them, he could have a direct dialogue with the Wind Country Court.
Seeing that Zhang Rong listened to Gao Hang's story, standing there motionless, not speaking, his face was cloudy and sunny, and he was uncertain, Li Jin sighed again and said, "Lord Zhang, I am going to go to the camp outside the city to order troops, so I will leave first." ” "This official will go with the general," Zhang Rong came back to his senses and said hurriedly.
Zhang Rong was a civilian official, and without Shao Fang's instructions, he had neither the right nor the qualifications to participate in military affairs.
However, he is a Taifu, a member of the first grade, and his personal relationship with Li Jin is not bad, and in this critical situation, Li Jin is too lazy to pay attention to it so much.
But before Li Jin could speak, Gao Hang said beside him: "Lord Taifu doesn't have the will of the king, and he goes to the military camp privately, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
Li Jin's face sank, and he said to Gao Hang: "General Gao, you should immediately go to the camp of the Zhenjiang Water Division and bring all the cavalry stationed outside the camp back to the capital.
"Li Jin and Zhang Rong belong to the same faction in the court, and they are also old friends, while Gao Hang is just a foreign general who was temporarily requisitioned to the capital, and Li Jin certainly will not hurt the friendship between himself and his colleagues because of him.
The general is the head of the generals, and Gao Hang does not dare to disobey his orders.
The latter looked at Li Jin, and then at Zhang Rong, and finally could only respond helplessly: "Yes, the last general will obey the order" Watching Gao Hang leave quickly, Li Jin snorted and muttered, "I don't know what to do."
As he spoke, he said to Zhang Rong again: "Master Zhang, Gao Hang is just a hillbilly from a small place, don't mind." ” "Alas, now that the safety of you and me is on the line, who has to take care of this little thing."
Zhang Rong Zhengse said: "The general led his troops to attack the Feng Army this time, and he has a certain chance of winning."
Li Jin smiled, smiled bitterly, he shook his head and said: "The courage of the wind army, Lord Zhang is not ignorant, even if it is a head-on battle, I am not sure of winning, not to mention that this time it is still a tough battle, to be honest, I don't even have a certain certainty."
Shaking his head as he spoke, after a pause, Li Jin's eyes rolled, looked at Zhang Rong squarely, and said: "Lord Zhang has always been resourceful, I don't know if there is a good plan this time."
Zhang Rong's heart moved, if he could persuade Li Jin to defect to the country of wind, then his contribution to the country of wind would be great, but Li Jin's incompetence would be incompetent, and cowardice would be timid, but it would not be easy for him to betray Moguo.
While pondering, he said: "According to Gao Hang, the Feng army has a large number of troops, and the general only led 200,000 soldiers to attack, which is undoubtedly a stone with an egg."
Li Jin nodded again and again and said, "It is precisely because of the difficulty of this battle that I asked Master Zhang for advice. ” Zhang Rong didn't dare to persuade Li Jin to surrender now, he pretended to think about it, shook his head slowly, and said: "It's difficult, no matter what way you think, this battle is very difficult, it's better to do this, the general will invite more soldiers and horses to the king, as long as there are enough troops, it is not impossible to recapture the Zhenjiang Water Division battalion." ” If the king is willing to agree, it will be strange Zhang Rong is like a mirror in his heart, now the king can send Li Jin 200,000 soldiers and horses is the limit, and he will definitely not send him another soldier, the king's suspicion is too serious, in the current tense situation, the king must control most of the troops in his own hands.
Zhang Rong knew that it was not feasible and deliberately said this, Li Jin listened, his head shook like a rattle, he said again and again: "It is impossible for the king to give me more soldiers and horses, the king's personality, Lord Zhang is not unaware, with the current situation, even if the king sends me 200,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid that he will be scared, for fear that there will be changes."
"If that's the case, then I can't help it."
Zhang Rong shrugged helplessly, and said to Li Jin: "The general can only ask for more blessings for himself. ” Speaking of which, doesn't this mean that he didn't say anything Li Jin rubbed his hands in a hurry and asked, "Isn't there anything that Master Zhang can do at all?"
Zhang Rong pretended to be joking, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, I will find some fine works of the Wind Country and introduce them to the general, as long as the general shows his attitude and is willing to defect to the Wind Country, then even if the capital falls, the general can still enjoy the high-ranking officials, glory and wealth." ” Li Jin saw that he was smiling and only thought he was joking, so he glanced at him angrily, and said helplessly: "My Master Taifu, when are you still joking with me now." ” Seeing this, Zhang Rong also knew in his heart that it was not yet time to persuade Li Jin to surrender and defect.
He looked up and smiled, and said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and the general does not have to worry too much. ” "Alas" Li Jin forced a smile and nodded reluctantly.
Li Jin did not have any hope for this battle report, but it was not easy for the Feng army on the other side to occupy the camp of the Zhenjiang Water Division.
The strength of the Feng Army is far less than 100,000, only more than 30,000 people, and it is not easy to hold such a large camp of the Zhenjiang Water Division with only such a small number of troops.
Fortunately, his own naval army has returned to the north shore and will transport more troops and supplies over, but now Tang Yin's side can only hold on, and he does not dare to take the initiative to fight.
It was under these circumstances that Li Jin led the 200,000-strong Central Army to arrive outside the camp of the Zhenjiang Water Division, opened up the formation, and put on a strong offensive posture.
Now that the sky is already dark, seeing the Mo army outside the camp overwhelming, lined up in the phalanx of the corps, row by row, column by column, and unable to see the edge at a glance, Tang Yin's heart is also trembling, although he has already made mental preparations, he has a hunch that the next round of the Mo army's counterattack will be more fierce and the troops will be more.
He asked Lotte and Ai Jia beside him, and said, "When will the second batch of soldiers of our army arrive?"

Ai Jia said with a sad face: "I just received the news that the fleet of the Zhenjiang Navy is cruising on the river, and our warships dare not cross the river rashly. ” Tang Yin frowned and asked, "Didn't you already beat the Zhenjiang Navy away?"
"Back to the king, it is reported that the handsome flag of the main ship of the Zhenjiang Navy has been replaced with the flag of Gao Hang, and it seems that Gao Hang is now personally in command of the Zhenjiang Navy Army, and the two generals Sun Bing and Xu Yan dare not start a war rashly."
