Section 83 Two Lines (2)
Objectively speaking, the battle of Putiancheng to capture Loushan Pass should be successful. Although it was a considerable price to occupy Loushan Pass, the price was worth it. Except for less than 10,000 remaining soldiers, the remaining 50,000 people were killed in this bloody battle of life and death. Putiancheng also successfully blocked reinforcements from reinforcements from Jiangchuan, the west and Huayang, the north, and surrounded and annihilated a reinforcement division from the Lin family from Jiangchuan. The battle lasted for three days. Maqikhan won the victory with his advantage in military strength, which also cut off the last glimmer of hope of the defenders of Loushan Pass.
Just when the battle between Sanjiang was in great tragic battle, the battlefield of Beironesia on the southern line seemed calm. The Maqikhan army on the southern line adopted the strategy of attacking the east and west, and took the stance of attacking Reya City from the southern line, attracting Lin Yunfei to place two elite divisions in Reya City to strengthen the defense, while the Maqikhans avoided the real and sent heavy troops to cross Gaoligong Mountain and attack Dayukou from Kanteng. A division in Sanjiang only persisted for twenty-four hours and declared lost.
The fall of Neil City was declared an unguarded city. The Lin family army in Gea City was facing the danger of closing the door and beating dogs. Lin Yunfei was forced to give up Gea City and flee into the Duchy of Kaki in one breath. The Maqi Khan also advanced from the east as quickly as possible, allowing Lin Yunfei, who originally wanted to establish a foothold in the Duchy of Kaki, to make the second escape, and flee straight into Sanjiangmoto County in one breath before he stabilized his position. At this time, there were only one and a half divisions left for the two divisions that followed him, and many new recruits who had just supplemented them were directly deserters.
When the defenders in Yushan City learned that the defeat in Northern Rosia had been decided, they received bad news of the fall of Loushan Pass. This double blow immediately completely defeated the officials and garrisons in Yushan Prefecture. Before the news came out of Jiangchuan, a scene of victory had begun to take place in Yushan City. The roads from Yushan to Jiangchuan and Anshun were filled with fleeing crowds and vehicles. A few days ago, some local gentry and merchants with family status quietly disappeared into Yushan Prefecture. Although the news from the former Maqikhan occupied areas such as Baling and Yuejing reflected that the Maqikhans seemed to be as brutal as they imagined, for the sake of security, the heads of the wealthy families all hoped that important members of the family and important assets would leave first to avoid the limelight, and wait for the left-behind personnel to see the scenery before making sense.
Jiangchuan and Anshun Mansion, which had signed a joint defense agreement with the Northwest, naturally became the best safe haven, especially the latter. Lin Dezhi, the guard of Anshun City, faced the influential media in the southern part of the empire, and the large-scale entry of the Northwest Army, made many people more optimistic about Anshun. The number of people flocking to Anshun actually exceeded the number of people fleeing Jiangchuan, which made Lin Guoxiong, who was already so angry that he was bedridden by the Anshun Incident, vomiting blood even more.
Looking at the old man who was sleeping in front of him, the girl in plain clothes couldn't help but she burst into tears. In just two months, her father was so old and thin, and there was no trace of blood on her withered cheeks. The Sanjiang military and political governor who once looked down on him was so depressed. Who was this? Since the eldest brother fled back to Jiangchuan after the fall of Beironesia, he locked himself in the room and drank all day long, drinking alcohol to drown his sorrows, refused to see anyone, and even did not see him after returning to Jiangchuan. The second brother was exhausted and completely lost his former appearance as a jade-faced man. The degree of aging made Lin Yuexin unable to believe his eyes when he saw him.
When he saw his sister finally returning to Jiangchuan, the exhausted Lin Yunxiang handed over the military and political power of the Sanjiang County to his sister for the first time without any grudges, but the severe situation faced by Lin Yuexin was also helpless.
The enemy who occupied Loushan Pass has taken the absolute initiative in strategy. With Loushan Pass and Maqihan's army on the southern front, which has made a siege, the Yushan Mansion has become a dead end and is not worth investing in one soldier. Although the Huayang location in the north is important, the Maqihans who have Loushan Pass can easily intercept the troops that reinforce Huayang from Jiangchuan. The more severe reality is that the Lin family no longer has much vitality to reinforce Huayang.
This was the most painful defeat in Sanjiang's history. The city of Rea was seized overnight. The Northern Ronesia, which was seized for countless efforts, fell into the hands of the Maqikhans in just three days. Loushan Pass was more like a nail that penetrated deeply into the most critical part of the heart of Sanjiang. At this time, the Sanjiang army was already in serious panic. If it did not take on this heavy responsibility, I am afraid that the outcome of the Sanjiang Lin family would be worse than that of the Tiannanlang family.
However, if you want to boost the morale of the military and arouse the fighting spirit of the military and the civilians, it is absolutely impossible to rely on yourself alone. The best position for your gender is to give yourself a military advisor, and planning is your own strength. However, if you want to stimulate the morale of the military and civilians in Sanjiang, you obviously cannot do this.
Maybe he is the most suitable candidate, but can his father accept him? The girl in a simple dress shook her head subconsciously. The Anshun incident probably made her father and brother hate him to the core. The relationship between him and him was probably only gone with the wind. But who would take the lead in the difficult problem? Excluding him, it was probably only his uncle who could barely take on this role. Thinking about the precarious Huayang, Lin Yuexin was even more upset.
It seemed that he was conscious of his daughter's worries sitting beside him. The old man who had been sleeping slowly opened his eyes. When his unsightly eyes saw the beautiful face of his daughter in front of him, a hint of spirit shone out, and then it became dim again.
"Dad, are you better? My daughter asked them to take medicine for you." Seeing that his father woke up, the girl in plain clothes said in surprise.
"No need, do you still remember your father?!" The old man lying on the bed closed his eyes tiredly and said indifferently.
"Dad, as soon as my daughter heard the news, she would return from the northwest immediately,—" Lin Yuexin's face froze, and then explained carefully.
"Hmph, I have a lover, I forgot my own father and brother. Are girls extroverts like this?" The thin old man sighed long and said sadly: "Is it possible that Li Wufeng asked you to come back to take over my Sanjiang? My Lin family has not yet reached that field!"
Tears could no longer be taken off her eyes. Lin Yuexin was stinged by these heartless words from her father. She wanted to leave and never want to see her increasingly tyrannical father, but when she saw the morbid red tide on her father's face, she gritted her teeth and endured it again. It was not easy for her father. The country that had been built for decades was actually in storm within a few days. Seeing the fall of one city and the enemy was raging in the territory. This blow could not be withstood even if it was strong people, let alone her father was already over fifty years old.
Seeing a trace of pain flashing across his daughter's face, Lin Guoxiong also felt that his words were a bit too much. The Anshun incident had nothing to do with his daughter. It was just a conspiracy of the ambitious director Li Wufeng. It was just that his daughter had dated Li Wufeng without telling him. Almost everyone already knew it but kept him in the dark, which made him put his face? Especially in the current situation where he was in danger, he would not accept it. Instead of doing so, he would rather die on the wall.
"Dad, let's talk calmly, okay? If we continue to get entangled with these trivial details, I think we may not be able to stay in Jiangchuan City for too long." Lin Yuexin finally spoke after a long silence.
He raised his head and opened his eyes to glance at his daughter. Lin Guoxiong's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Dad, the situation is critical now, Loushan Pass has been lost, and my daughter's idea is to completely abandon Yushan Prefecture and Huayang Prefecture. Yushan Prefecture has been surrounded by Maqi Khan and has no value for saving. We can abandon Huayang Prefecture, but the four divisions stationed in Huayang can take advantage of the fact that Maqi Khan has not yet established a stable foothold in Loushan Pass and dare not carry out large troops to go north. As long as we take the stance of regaining Loushan Pass from the front and let our uncle act immediately, the Maqi Khan is not able to complete the siege of Huayang for a while." Lin Yuexin did not want to talk to his father anymore. "This time, the Maqi Khan has put all his strength into attacking. We have no extra troops to deal with it now, and we can only defend Jiangchuan. I want to withdraw some of the troops stationed in Qindu and strengthen Jiangchuan's defense. Once Jiangchuan is lost, our three rivers will lose the foundation of existence."
Lin Yuexin actually had some thoughts in her heart. Judging from the current situation, the Lin family no longer had much room for development. She was either swallowed by the Maqi Khan in one bite, but she could only rely on the northwest and became a vassal in the northwest and finally completely merged by the northwest. This was the general trend, but she did not want to stimulate her father at this time.
"Will Li Wufeng come to the Qindu incident again?" Lin Guoxiong finally spoke.
