It was the first time for Wang Yu to come to the battlefield in person, although there was still a long distance from the battlefield, she still felt a little nervous, but she was soon overwhelmed by the novelty. Now it was only an hour since they arrived at Shuizhai, and after the emperor gave an order, the entire military system was running efficiently. When she walked into Wangjiang Pavilion, she found that in a short period of time, the place had been cleaned up and a sentry had been arranged, and everyone who entered had to hand in their personal weapons, and the items they brought in had to be carefully checked, even Chen Fenglin was no exception.

On the second floor, it has been turned into a temporary command post, and the spacious hall has been divided into several areas by screens. The largest room in the hall was a long table made of four long bookcases, covered with a military blanket, on which were placed maps and candlesticks, and a dozen chairs were placed around it, and a map was hung behind it, which was obviously the meeting place of His Majesty and the generals. The other small rooms are the positions of the staff of the army, such as the marquis, the army and the secretary, who are responsible for handling various documents.

And the best place to enjoy the river view has been arranged with a lookout post, equipped with a telescope, which can monitor the situation of the entire battlefield, the emperor and Chen Dutong are standing in front of the window at this time, both holding binoculars in their hands, while observing, talking something, they don't notice them coming up at all. Wang Yu wanted to say hello, but was stopped by Li Sanniang.

Under the guidance of the guards, Wang Yu came to a side hall, but it was also hung with thick curtains, which seemed a little dim, and it took him a while to get used to it. If you look closely, the area is not large, because it has fallen into disrepair, the paint has peeled off in many places, and there are traces of flooding on the walls, as well as a musty smell. In addition to the two camp beds, there was only a foldable table and two hu beds, as well as their belongings, and it was obvious that this was their resting place.

"It's so boring here!" Wang Yu said that she was going to open the curtains to ventilate and make the room brighter.

"No!" Li Sanniang hurriedly stopped her.

"Why?" Wang Yu stopped her hand and turned back to say suspiciously.

"The reason why curtains are hung here is to prevent the enemy troops on the opposite side from discovering the anomaly here, arousing their vigilance and exposing the target!" Li Sanniang explained.

"We're at least twenty miles away from the other side, how could they find out?" Wang Yu smiled and said with a smile, not believing it at all.

"Silly sister, if it is a clear and moonless night, you can see the bright light of a lamp and candle dozens of miles away. Moreover, now that it is wartime, the enemy will also closely monitor every move on our side, and if it finds any differences from the past, it will strengthen its observation and affect the actions of our army. Li Sanniang said with a wry smile, it was a trouble to have a military blind by her side, and she not only had to watch the emperor, but also had to pay attention to this little trouble that she was curious about, which made her distressed.

"Oh, I see. But the people on the other side of the river can't see people, and even if they do, they will be treated as tourists, so they should be fine, right? Although Wang Yu stopped, she was still ignorant.

"Jiankang City is an important town of river defense, and Yanziji Water Village is a military powerhouse, how can there be tourists in and out casually. And we can send spies to detect the enemy's situation, and the enemy army will also send spies to our side to buy spies, and there must be enemy spies around the water village, and they will pass back what they see and hear in time. Li Sanniang had no choice but to popularize military common sense for him.

"You don't see people coming in and out of the back hill and entering the pavilion just to avoid attracting the attention of the enemy. His Majesty did not enter the prefecture and county along the way, and did not notify the local yamen in order not to reveal his identity and attract the attention of the enemy spies. You must know that His Majesty's identity is extraordinary, his movements are not only related to the government and the opposition, but also affect the direction of the war, Meng Yuan will of course always pay attention to His Majesty's whereabouts, and it is also the reason why His Majesty has repeatedly emphasized that we are not allowed to spread the news of the affairs in the palace. ”

"So that's the case, no wonder Your Majesty is so careful in everything." Wang Yu nodded, and suddenly exclaimed, "If Sister Shufei said, wouldn't it be possible that there are enemy spies hidden in this water village!" ”

"Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out, but Commander Chen and Commander Liu will not be as stupid as you, I am afraid that the moment they learned of His Majesty's arrival, they had already ordered the closure of the village, increased the number of posts, expanded the scope of the vigilance, and imposed martial law, and everyone was only allowed to enter and not leave. At night, a curfew is also in place until the fighting begins. The personnel at the command post are carefully selected, and even then they are not allowed to enter or leave at will, let alone take a piece of paper out, and the command of the proprietary signal corps is responsible for the delivery, and classified letters are written in ciphers, and even if they are lost or secretly opened, it is difficult to decipher the contents. ”

"Then we won't be able to get out of this Wangjiang Tower?" Wang Yu thought for a while and said.

"Look outside, the chiefs of the various ministries have arrived and started to deliberate. So from now until the end of the war, I'm afraid I can only stay here! Through the gap between the doors, Li Sanniang saw that the commanders of the various departments under the First Army had gathered, and the staff members were also in place, so she twisted her face and smiled.

"If it comes, it will be safe!" Wang Yu blinked her eyes and thought about it for a while, then got up and began to pack the things she brought.

"Why did you bring so many things, it's like moving!" Because of this time out of the palace, the two of them and the emperor did not bring the little yellow door and palace maids with their attendants, so everything needs to be taken care of by themselves, Li Sanniang also opened his backpack and took out the things used, but it was a short knife for self-defense, a water bladder and sleeping bags, felt pads and other things. But Wang Yu brought three or four cages, and she didn't know what she brought.

"Is it a lot? It's all going to be used! Wang Yu said while taking out the contents of the cage. In addition to the two boxes containing clothes, the rest are makeup boxes, jewelry boxes, a complete set of tea sets, new bedding, and even some food.

"Alas, fortunately, there is a chariot battle with you this time, if you ride a horse, the war horse will be exhausted to death by you!" Li Sanniang sighed helplessly.

"Sister, am I wrong?" Hearing Li Sanniang say this, Wang Yu realized that she might have made a mistake again, and said pitifully.

"The march is not a parade, and here at this time, it may have to be transferred in a moment. Therefore, the items to carry should be refined, and they can only be necessary, otherwise it will not only be very laborious to clean up, but also consume a lot of energy. Sometimes, there were no chariots or boats, and no horses to walk, but they had to march on foot. So you will be a burden to the many things you carry, and you will exhaust yourself to death before the enemy can catch up. Li Sanniang said.

"So what now? I still think that fighting a war is like boiling wine and cooking tea like Zhou Lang, and the canopy will disappear when talking and laughing? When she set off, she didn't think she had enough things to bring, but at the moment they all became a burden, which made Wang Yu frustrated.

"Hehe, what Your Majesty said is not wrong at all, you have all been deceived by those soldiers who have not been on the battlefield. Look outside the house, where is Yaxing boiling wine and tea, they are very polite if they don't lift the table! Li Sanniang was also speechless, and opened the door a little bit and pointed.

"This ...... Is this a discussion? The place of discussion was covered by a screen, although no one could be seen, but the voice could be heard, Wang Yu listened for a moment, and said in shock. At this time, they should be talking about which unit to be the main attacker, and several commanders quarreled, not only arguing loudly, but also bursting out foul language from time to time, and from time to time there was the sound of slapping the table and throwing things, but it was like a fight.

"Your Majesty is still present today, and they still have some restraint, otherwise they don't know what the trouble will be!" Li Sanniang pulled Wang Yu back, closed the door, and said with a smile.

"These people are all high-ranking officers in the army, and they look polite on weekdays, but now they are so rude, it's unbelievable!" The gap between imagination and reality is so big that Wang Yu is very disappointed and even a little frustrated.

"There are mostly bloody men in the army, and what they do is also a life-and-death struggle, and it is not surprising that their words are rude, so why bother with these!" Li Sanniang said, "And this kind of scene is even more common, I have seen two people who are the pioneers to decide the winner in the court, but their personal relationship has always been very good, and they will not hold grudges against each other in the future." ”

"What a strange bunch of people!" Wang Yu frowned and said.

"To outsiders, they have a strange temper, but after getting along for a long time, they don't think so. After leaving, you will still miss the life in the army and the robes who shared life and death. ”

"Oh......" Wang Yu nodded as if she didn't understand......

Listening to the high and low voices of discussion in the outer hall, looking at the expressionless staff members who came in and out and the signal soldiers who were hurrying in and out, anyone could see that the military situation was urgent and the war was about to begin. But Wang Yu didn't understand the terminology in the army, and she felt bored as soon as the novelty passed, and after a day of hard work, she couldn't help but get tired, and she fell asleep on the bed.

"Concubine Chen, get up and eat something!"

"Eh, why is it so quiet, the battle is over? Why don't you call me! Wang Yu turned over and sat up, but saw that the lights and candles had been lit in the room, and there was no movement in the outer hall, so she rubbed her eyes and complained.

"Sleepy, aren't you? The battle hasn't started yet! Li Sanniang smiled.

"What time is it, Your Majesty?" Wang Yu rubbed her eyes, smiled embarrassedly and asked.

"It's unitary time now, Your Majesty is waiting for you to eat!" Li Sanniang said.

"Oh!" Wang Yu hurriedly got up, washed and combed her messy hair before going to eat. found that the outer hall was already empty, and only a few soldiers and secretaries on duty remained, and even Tan Fei was gone. The Emperor was still hunched on the bookcase, still looking at the scroll by the lamp and candle, holding a biscuit in his hand.

"Official, let's eat first!" Li Sanniang gave the emperor a bowl of soup and put it in front of him.

"Well, sit down and eat together!" Zhao Yu looked up at the two of them and nodded, took a bite of the baked cake in his hand, and looked down at the scroll.

"Official, the rice is going to be cold, let's see after eating!" Wang Yu looked at the three pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, but there was only a pot of soup, a plate of pork cakes and a plate of pickles, which could be described as very simple.

"Okay, the food in the army is vulgar, you may not be used to it, but you must also be full, otherwise you will only go hungry!" After urging repeatedly, Zhao Yu moved the scroll aside and looked at Wang Yudao.

"The official family can eat it, and the concubines are also indispensable!" Wang Yu sat down and picked up the baked cake and took a bite, only to feel that the teeth were hard, and the meat sandwiched in it was very fatty, and the salty people in their mouths hurriedly drank the soup, and this soup was also bland and tasteless.

"Hehe, there is no way to raise a fire on the mountain, so I can only make do with it, and after the battle, I will take you to Jinling City to eat well!" Zhao Hao saw that he only took one bite and his face was bitter, and he smiled.

"Fortunately, the concubine can eat!" Wang Yu reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said.

"If you think the cake is too hard, you can soak it in the soup and eat it again, it will be better!" Zhao Yu shook his smile and pointed out.

"Well, the concubine knows!" Wang Yu nodded, this is beyond her imagination, since leaving the palace in the past few days, although there is no exquisite food in the palace, it is not bad, but I didn't expect that on the 'battlefield' where I came, the meal would be so rough.

"Has the vanguard now been on the island?" Zhao Yu ate a meatloaf in two bites in three bites, and asked the lookout post on duty loudly.

"Your Majesty, the vanguard has set off, but it has not yet sent back the signal of successful landing on the island!" The lookout replied.

"Pay attention to the observation, and report back as soon as you find something!" Zhao Yu admonished.

"Official, is the plan not going well?" Li Sanniang frowned when she saw the emperor's brows, and asked softly.

"An hour ago, the vanguard had set out, and after landing on the island, they were tasked with laying beacons, erecting docks, opening up roads, and building artillery positions. But if there is no response, the second echelon will not be able to sail. However, there is no moon tonight, and the wind and waves are strong, so it is not easy to smuggle in without being discovered by the enemy! Zhao Yu took another meatloaf and took a bite.

After preliminary reconnaissance, it was reported that Ilha Verde Island was dry and waterless, and no trace of people had been found on the island, and the reeds on the island were very lush, more than a foot high, which could provide cover. The best news is that the front line of the island is less than two miles from the enemy camp on the opposite shore and is completely within the range of the extended-range rockets, which can complete the task of supporting the landing force and suppressing the enemy's trebuchets.

After studying the hydrological report provided by the navy, Zhao Yu found that in the southeast waters of the island, the water depth was feasible for medium-sized warships, but they could not reach the shore, so it was necessary to build a temporary dock to facilitate the landing of personnel and rocket launchers on the island. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to send engineering troops to the island first to complete the preparatory work, so as to meet the subsequent echelons landing on the island one by one, so they are the guarantee of whether this battle can be carried out. At this time, the first echelon should have arrived at Ilha Verde Island, but anything can happen while boating on the water, especially at night, and he can't help but be a little worried......
