Chapter 570 Helpless

Riding on Hongchen, he went straight to the capital of Wu County.

Lu Guangwei, governor of Wu County, just had a headache about Yangzhou City. Li Zitong, one of the rebels, was on the front line of Hailing, constantly threatening the safety of Yangzhou City.

Lu Guangwei is still loyal to the Sui Dynasty and Yang Guang, and is still actively preparing food and soldiers to support Yangzhou City.

"Report..."

In front of the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, there was a rush of shouts.

A dusty Sui soldier was about to collapse, but he still didn't rest, but rushed to Lu Guangwei quickly.

"What's the urgent report?" Lu Guangwei didn't care about putting on airs at this time. Now that there are refugees rebelling and tyrannical riots in the Sui Dynasty, he is almost numb.

Zhou Yong, the guard on the side, also had a gloomy expression at this time: "Guardian Lu, Wu County only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and they have to divide troops to guard the counties. There are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city. It is difficult to defend Wu County. What should I do?"

Lu Guangwei, who was walking up and down in a hurry, was also at a loss.

"Hoo hoo... my lord! Yuhang fell, Li Junshou and General Bao died in the line of duty... Hoo hoo..."

"What?" Lu Guangwei was shocked. .

In fact, the counties in the north of Yangzhou were also fighting at this time.

Lu Guangwei looked up to the sky and sighed: "If you want to kill a thief, you can't return to heaven! Saint! How should I deal with it?"

Now only the part of Yangzhou is left in Jiangdu County. To the east is the Li Zitong Rebel Army occupying Hailing City; to the west is the Lebotong Rebel Army occupying Danyang County and the Du Fuwei Rebel Army occupying Liyang County.

In addition to Yuhang County, which is now captured again, Wu County, Piling, and Yangzhou have been surrounded on three sides.

"My lords! The rebels who captured Yuhang County were the Human Revolutionary League occupying Hudouzhou and Haizhongzhou. The rebels used a sharp weapon that could shoot thunderbolts, and in an instant, they destroyed the city tower and the Li County Guard on it... ..."

There was panic in those words, and the voice trembled slightly.

Everyone present felt a sense of depression that was about to come.

The messenger soldier, after taking a breath, continued to report:

Lu Guangwei didn't believe it at all.

Immediately flicking his sleeves to drive people away: "Okay! Go down and rest!"

"This..." Xiao Bing opened his mouth, but finally retreated speechlessly.

But Lu Guangwei, who heard these explanations, refuted with a dark face: "Nonsense, you don't talk about strange powers, don't confuse people here."

"My lords! The little words are true..."

"General Zhou, immediately order the county towns to strengthen their city defenses, and also order the defenders of the county towns near Wujun County in Yuhang County to bring their soldiers and horses to Wujun County."

"As ordered, the general will do it immediately."

In the lobby, Lu Guangwei, who was walking up and down, didn't feel dizzy, and didn't let Zhou Yong take the place of the army to attack the Rengelian.

After a while, he made the wisest choice:

Especially after Wang Shichong led his troops to Luoyang, the local defenders in Yangzhou are now the guards managed by Heyu Culture and Management.

The strength of this imperial guard army was only more than 10,000 at the beginning. Although in recent years, in order to strengthen Yangzhou's defense, the imperial guard army has successively expanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. In addition, there are about 40,000 defenders in Yangzhou City.

Lu Guangwei then arranged for a fast boat to notify Shen Faxing in Piling County and Yang Guang in Yangzhou.

As for the need for reinforcements, although Lu Guangwei reported to Yang Guang, he did not report much hope. After all, Yangzhou's security is now in jeopardy, and there is no way to deploy troops.

Moreover, of the 40,000 imperial guards, only 12,000 were elites brought over from Guanzhong, and the rest were expanded later.

Once the strength of Yangzhou City is less than 20,000, the surrounding Li Zitong, Le Botong and Du Fuwei will certainly not sit still.

As for why there were "100,000 imperial guards" after Yuhuahua and the rebellion, in fact, this was counted together with the auxiliary soldiers who escorted food and grass.

If there were really 100,000 Imperial Guards in Yangzhou City, then Yang Guang would have sent his troops northward to wipe out the Wagang Village.

Sure enough, after the urgent report arrived at the Yangzhou Palace, although Yang Guang was furious and scolded Li Xian and Bao Changji who had died for their country, he had no intention of mobilizing troops to attack, but only asked Lu Guangwei to strengthen the defense of Wu County .

...

Therefore, the troops in Yangzhou City can only mobilize 10,000 troops at most, and they cannot be Guanzhong soldiers. If Yang Guangzhen sends 10,000 troops to Yuhang, then Bai Yulou doesn't mind eating them. Gu Xi

But Yang Guang, who had given up on himself a long time ago, did not wipe out Li Zitong and Le Botong who were close at hand, let alone Yuhang, which crossed Piling County and Wu County.

In the end, only 1572 people were reorganized and joined the army.

The former 102nd Battalion of the Army mobilized 200 armored soldiers as officers of the newly reorganized 1021st, 1022nd, and 1023rd Battalions, plus the 102nd Battalion itself, to form the Yuhang Corps.

Yuhang County.

Bai Yulou used the old method to let the captured Sui soldiers report to each other, and then cut off a group of heinous criminals, and incorporated some minor crimes and landlord-born officers into the atonement camp.

For the navy, only three battalions of marines were added.

Baiyulou is located in Yuhang County, and dispatched a guerrilla squadron with 4 battalions of marines to occupy the front lines of Taihu Lake and Songjiang in the north.

After reorganization, the Yuhang Corps will have an establishment of 3,500 people. Currently, it only has 2,112 people. It will continue to recruit 3,500 people from nearby villages.

And Huang Dabiao in Kuaiji County is also recruiting troops, and the Kuaiji Corps will be formed there, also with 3,500 people in the 7th Battalion.

Fleet Commander Yugu watched with a binoculars. The Marine Corps he brought over had already deployed a battalion in Jiaxing County, which had just been captured.

Now they are approaching the intersection of the Grand Canal, Taihu Lake, and Songjiang River.

He reformed Yuhang County and Kuaiji County, and digested the southern Taihu Plain and Ningshao Plain.

Equipped with 3 scientific-class sailing warships, 10 Mengchong ships, and 15 transport ships, the guerrilla squadron headed north along the Grand Canal.

The intersection of the Grand Canal, Taihu Lake and Songjiang River is the future Wujiang District. As soon as Yugu's guerrilla squadron arrived, the city wall of Wuzhou City, the capital of Wu County, appeared at the end of the telescope.

"The 3rd Battalion listened to the order and immediately built a water village on Xifengpo."

The area of ​​Taihu Lake at this time is much wider than that of later generations, and the south of Wu County is densely covered with rivers, lakes, and swamps.

These lakes, rivers, and swamps are connected with Taihu Lake, the Grand Canal, and Songjiang River to form the Taihu Lake Basin.

As for why they didn't capture Wu County directly, the reason was naturally the lack of manpower, and Bai Yulou gave up the idea of ​​taking Wu County and Piling County all at once.

However, building a water village directly under Wu Jun's nose is a naked humiliation to Wu Jun's Sui army.

"Yes." Huang Yingqi, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the Marine Corps, saluted and replied.

Xifengpo is on the west side of the Grand Canal, about 3 kilometers to the north, plus the south wall of Wuzhou City, this place name is only called by local villagers.

Lu Guangwei, who came to the city wall, also had a troubled face at this time. After these few days of fermentation, Wu County absorbed some remnants of the Sui Army from Yuhang County, and recruited 3,000 young and strong locals. At this time, there were 7,000 troops in the city.

It's just that he understands that if these young men who have just been recruited are allowed to defend the city in a sloppy way, and let them go out to fight in the field, it will probably be a lot of trouble.

Zhou Yong on the city wall clenched his fists furiously: "Damn it!"

But Zhou Yong didn't have much courage to ask him to lead troops into battle.

At the intersection of the south bank of the Songjiang River and Dianshan Lake, another water village base will be established.

As for whether this will disperse the troops, as far as the Marine Corps is equipped with artillery, machine guns and grenades, one battalion can fight 10,000 Sui troops.

Yugu didn't care about the garrison of Wu County at all, and built a water village under the nose of the other party, completely cutting off the southward channel of the Grand Canal.

In addition, he also planned to enter Taihu Lake and establish a water village base on Xishan Island.

Using local wood and cement, the construction of Xifengpo Water Village was completed in less than three days.

Coupled with the guerrilla squadron patrolling the large watershed of Taihu Lake, the Wujun defenders had no chance to go south.

Now Yugu's task is to keep the enemy out of the country, and ensure that no enemy will invade the controlled area from the north within half a year when the Human Revolutionary League digests Yuhang and Kuaiji.
