On the north bank, Yan Zhengqing patted Shen Jianfei on the shoulder and praised: "Great, great, annihilating Jin's 10,000 foundation-building elites in one fell swoop, this is an unprecedented victory!"
Shen Jianfei laughed, "Of course it's a great victory. Jin must be regretting this time. But this unprecedented victory is not just my own, but the result of the joint efforts of the entire army. In addition... hey, more than 800 people died in the battle after all."
At the end, Shen Jianfei also felt a little sad.
Yan Zhengqing also sighed slightly, "It is inevitable that a clay pot will break at the wellhead, and it is inevitable that a general will die on the battlefield. Since we have chosen the battlefield, we must be prepared to die. The only thing we can do is to win and then seek justice for the dead!"
At this point, Yan Zhengqing's face suddenly became serious, and he looked around first: "Dare to take the initiative to attack Anyang, Nanyang County, Dongyuan County and Jin State, they must pay a price for their actions! It's enough to make them regret their whole lives! But the premise is that we must win. Pass the order, the artillery should not stop, attack at will, and the soldiers can play as they want, so that the other side cannot rest and rest in peace. In addition, strategically, we will switch to defense; but for the time being, the main combat idea is to "attack instead of defense" and maintain fire suppression on the south bank. In terms of the air force, please ask General Cheng Jiming to send about 200 planes to harass and air strike the 300,000 troops of Jin State to the south; the specific number of planes will be arranged by General Cheng himself. Note that a certain number of planes must be left here to hold the line. As long as the main force of Jin State is found, bombing will be launched immediately. It is not for killing, but mainly to hinder the enemy's marching speed and disrupt the enemy's morale. The two hundred planes must be divided into teams, so that the Jin army dare not rest or sleep, and they are always in a state of fatigue and mental tension."
After making rigorous arrangements, Yan Zhengqing still did not dare to rest; he was still busy and nervous, thinking over and over again about the relevant details. After all, Jin was a big country with strong national strength. It was quite difficult for Anyang to confront Jin. Not to mention, if the confrontation here lasted for a long time, something might happen in the west. Therefore, Yan Zhengqing did not dare to relax.
To the west, it is Songzhou County! Previously, Gao Bin, the governor of Songzhou County, retreated without a fight, but this does not mean that Gao Bin will not strike back. If Gao Bin knew that the battle here was stalemate and Anyang’s military strength was tight, Gao Bin would definitely attack. Gao Bin is like a cunning and vicious wolf!
As for Kaiping County, after Li Yulong ascended the throne and became emperor, the county was also in a precarious situation and had to carry out internal rectification. He did not have much ability to send troops to assist in the defense of Anyang.
"If Anyang wants to intimidate Songzhou County, he must achieve a decisive victory as soon as possible!" Yan Zhengqing frowned.
Looking at the morning glow slowly appearing in the east, Yan Zhengqing felt more and more depressed. Anyang's foundation was a little lacking after all; now it relied entirely on industry to support the war, and the war lifeline was quite fragile.
…
Almost at the same time, at the seaside of Anyang, Li Xian personally saw them off. Five fully loaded ironclad ships slowly left the port.
Xu Ren said beside Li Xian: "In order to prevent Songzhou County from reacting and to involve the power of Jin State, we must open up a second battlefield as soon as possible and win a victory, a victory worthy of our special mention."
