Chapter Seventy-Two: Advance by Night

Datong Island, a small island near the mouth of the Hunshui River. The island is narrow and slender, about four miles long from north to south, less than three hundred steps from east to west, and not far from the coast, about ten miles!

There are a lot of tall trees growing on the island, and weeds are also very lush. The original Datong Island was only an occasional foothold for fishermen who went out to sea to fish, and there were no people living on it for a long time!

However, since the first expedition of the imperial court, General Laihu'er led a large army to Pyongyang City by water, Datong Island has become a warning point for the Sui army to attack Pyongyang City from the waterway!

Datong Island is now under the jurisdiction of the Xishui Battalion, with a guard tower and a beacon tower built on it, with fifteen soldiers on duty, usually divided into two shifts to keep on guard. As soon as they spot a large number of ships on the sea, they will light the beacon and set off wolf smoke as a warning!

At night, on the endless sea, a huge fleet of ships is riding the wind and waves! The entire fleet is warships, there are more than thirty of them, and the warships are full of masts, sails are hoisted, and the speed is very fast!

Tonight's sea breeze is very small, a little calm feeling, the breeze blows, only the boundless sea, from time to time swinging a circle of small waves!

On the flagship ship led by the fleet, Su Shang stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the night sky in front of the fleet from afar! At this time, it was already four watches in the morning, but the moonlight was very bright, and as the fleet advanced, the small waves were layered on top of each other, like a large golden mirror that had been overturned, broken and shining, very attractive!

The night is beautiful, the moon is round, this is another fifteen-moon full moon night, in another world, such a night, it is a happy time for the family to reunite!

Time flies, and it has been fourteen years since that dream mirror! I wonder how the father and mother of that world are doing now, and whether they have recovered from the grief of losing their beloved son? Do you have another cute little brother and sister?

"Alas!" Su Shang sighed, feeling a little sad, father, mother, and the younger brothers and sisters who have never met, I hope you are all well, happy and happy forever!

"Marshal!"

Du Ruhui's voice came from behind him, Su Shang turned around and smiled: "Brother Ruhui, you are here!"

"Marshal, I see that your face is full of sorrow now, are you thinking about your family, or are you thinking about Miss Qingying?" Du Ruhui saw that Su Shang's face was full of concern, and couldn't help but joke to him with a smile!

Su Shang laughed, "It's all there!" Both! Since I was a child, it was the first time I was so far away from home, for so long, and I missed them a lot! ”

After speaking, Su Shang said with a straight face: "Brother Ruhan, are you looking for me for something!"

Hearing Su Shang's question, Du Ruhui's face also became cautious in an instant, "Marshal, we set off at midnight last night, and according to the speed of the fleet, we should not be far from Datong Island now!" The moonlight is bright tonight, and I'm afraid that the enemy forces on Datong Island will find us in advance! ”

Yesterday evening, after Su Shang arranged the affairs of the Qingyang Guan Sulfur Mine, in order to seize the time and the concealment of the fleet, after the army had dinner in advance, Su Shang took them to set sail overnight. And Datong Island is the temporary end point of this fleet voyage!

The fleet came from afar, and he didn't know much about the current situation in Goguryeo, and if he landed directly, Su Shang was worried that the fleet would be ambushed by the Goguryeo army.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Su Shang decided to temporarily dock the fleet at Datong Island, and then send scouts to find out the situation in Goguryeo before leading the army to land!

Looking up at the night sky, the moon in the night sky was clear, the clouds were faint and the stars were sparse, and then I looked at the sea in the distance, and the images within two or three miles were hazy. Su Shang frowned a little, "You're right, this kind of moonlight is too bright, and the enemy army will easily find us!" It's a bit tricky! ”

"Marshal, see if you can do this, our fleet will stop at a distance of five or six miles from Datong Island, and then send a team of soldiers from the personal battalion to let them swim across the island first, and after subduing the enemy troops on the island, the fleet will approach and dock!"

Du Ruhui looked at Su Shang and said his own method, but he was a little unsure, "I just don't know, the soldiers of the pro-military camp can swim such a long distance!" ”

The pro-military camp, this is the most special and elite one of all the armies of Sushang! The officers and men in the battalion were all soldiers specially prepared by him for the middle and senior generals of the Allied Army.

So far, there are less than 1,000 soldiers in the pro-military battalion, and every soldier in this camp is carefully selected and personally trained by him from among the soldiers of the Allied Army, and it is the all-round elite trained by him in imitation of modern special forces. All generals above level 6 in the Allied Army can choose their own guards from the pro-soldier camp!

However, because Du Ruhui has always been responsible for civilian work in the Allied Army, and does not involve military training, he only knows that the soldiers in the pro-military battalion are the most elite in the Allied Army, but he doesn't know how elite they are!

"Absolutely!" Su Shang replied very affirmatively, waving his hand over the pro-soldiers on the side, "Go, call your Huanglin battalion commander!" ”

Huang Lin, the battalion commander of the pro-military battalion! He turned out to be the son of a tenant of the Su Shang family, and he had been giving to the Su family since he was a child! is also because he has served Su Shang since he was a child, so Su Shang trusts him very much and teaches him a lot of things. He has always been very grateful to Su Shang and very loyal! After the establishment of the Allied Army, Su Shang arranged him into the Allied Army and appointed him as the commander of the pro-military battalion!

Soon, the pro-soldiers called Huang Lin here! Huang Lin hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Su Shang, "Good marshal!" ”

"Huang Lin, you go down and select thirty soldiers from the pro-military battalion and get ready! After a while, you will immediately lead them to swim to the island, subdue the enemy forces on the island, and dock the fleet! ”

"Yes! The last will obey! ”

……

Under the hazy night, the sea breeze blew lightly, dozens of warships raised their sails, rode the wind and waves, and advanced very fast, and within five watches, the fleet came to the sea near Datong Island!

As Su Shang gave an order, the flag commander blew the horn, and the fleet slowly stopped!

Immediately afterwards, a team of soldiers of the pro-military battalion wearing black water backings, under the leadership of Huang Lin, turned over and jumped into the sea one after another!

The black water rebuke is made of cowhide, which is not only smooth and close, but also waterproof and warm, which is specially designed by Su Shang for the soldiers of the pro-military camp!

The soldiers of the pro-barracks are very good in water, and with the special water support, they march very fast. As their hands keep paddling, they are like fish swimming in the water, fast and flexible, and they can't be seen in the blink of an eye!

Thanks to the warm recommendation and support of book friends such as "Caozhou People in Beiping", "Jun Mo", "Pan Drunken Heart", "Feng" and so on!

Bit by bit support, keep in mind, the future will be more exciting with you!!

Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
