Chapter Seventy-Four: Arriving at the Shore
The five kingdoms of the summer have their own ghosts.
Zhao and Chu are afraid of the Xia Kingdom, and the King of Zhao is afraid of being destroyed by Xia Guo, Fang Buqun is really frightened by Han Feng, and Han Feng will not be at peace for a day if he does not get rid of him.
And Wei and Yue just want to pick up the leaks, explore the strength of other countries by the way, and harvest a wave of Xia countries by the way.
To put it bluntly, the Jin State is still going through the motions, and when the King of Jin sent troops, he advised: This battle will only send troops, go through the motions, avoid the battle, and never clash with the Xia State head-on.
As for the fact that Emperor Han is really taking advantage of the fisherman, it seems that he is repaying his kindness, but in fact, Emperor Han wants to kill the Xia Kingdom more than anyone else, and a country that dares to claim to destroy the Six Kingdoms will not please him.
"Your Majesty, the army has been in operation for ten days, and fifty miles ahead is the main coast that has entered our Xia Kingdom, and there is a good chance that the soldiers and horses of the Zhao State and the Yue Kingdom will come up from here." Survey reminds of the big head soldiers.
It is the first time that this coast has landed in the Xia Kingdom, but there is no way, the two places in the west of the Yue Kingdom and the east of the Xia Kingdom are heavily guarded, which is not very suitable for surprise attacks, only this vast coast can accommodate nearly 190,000 soldiers and horses, and the 150,000 sailors of the Zhao Army and the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Yue Kingdom have landed here.
The rest of the soldiers and horses are all waiting outside the mountain scale pass, this is also an opportunity for the Chu State, if the Chu State does not let the soldiers and horses of the Yue Wei and Jin Kingdoms leave the Mountain Scale Pass now, then they will not be able to move an inch, but swallowing these soldiers and horses is not enough for them to cause too much damage, but it is easy to cause public indignation, and the situation of the three kingdoms counterattacking the Chu State will be very dangerous.
"We must reach the coast before the arrival of the soldiers and horses of the five countries, and inform us to start a forced march, we must reach the coast tonight, and the whole army can be repaired after arrival!" Han Feng felt a sense of crisis.
This fighter is very important, because if you miss the opportunity to seize the coast, the artillery will not be able to deploy first, especially if these soldiers and horses who have been marching for a long time will be caught off guard by the enemy.
Only by arriving at the coast first, arranging all the armor, and allowing the soldiers to recuperate, can we reduce casualties in battle.
The speed at which the Xia army forcibly marched was not ordinary, if it weren't for the fact that these artillery shells were too difficult to transport, I am afraid that the team would have arrived at the coast of the South China Sea by now.
The army of 100,000 is like a python walking through the mountains and rivers, and the team with a length of 10,000 meters walks magnificently.
"This time is the time of the warplane, if every march is so troublesome, then the pile of battles is very disadvantageous." Han Feng muttered to himself in the car.
Now he also feels that this traffic is extremely inconvenient, and now Xia Guo has been able to produce a large amount of steel, and there should be no problem with laying the railway, but the only problem is that this train Hanfeng cannot be designed, but there is still a way for Hanfeng, a foot-operated transportation vehicle that relies on manpower.
The manpower in this world is not ordinary, girls can kill a cow with one punch, not to mention these battle-hardened warriors.
This railway does not need to be fully paved first, it can be laid in sections, as long as it can speed up everything is easy to say, whether it is for the military or the economy of the Xia Kingdom is very helpful, as the so-called want to get rich first build roads.
"Your Majesty, the coast has arrived!" Sun Yan was outside the car.
Han Feng stepped out of the car and looked at the magnificent sea, thinking that this is the battlefield in a few days, there will be a large number of lives left here, they will be swallowed by the ocean and become feed for marine animals, which also saves a lot of time to dispose of corpses.
"The whole army will rest for ten minutes and start tidying up the battlefield!" Hanfeng solemnly faces the sea, with the posture of swallowing mountains and rivers.
After these soldiers rested, the speed of their hands was not ambiguous, and all the mountain passes suitable for fortification were occupied by them, and a battery was erected on a small hill less than 500 meters above sea level, which was a sharp weapon to block the enemy, and there were hundreds of recruits, with their existence, these people wanted to go ashore? I was asked first if my bullets were long.
At this time, Zhao's army had just used the eastern part of the Yangtze River for three days, and it was still long from here, and the army of Yue had now gone to sea, so what they had to do was to calculate the time to meet with Zhao's army at sea and attack Xia Guo together.
Yue Guo does not want to waste their troops in vain, they will not be willing to land in front of Zhao State, so the loss will be Yue State, only let Zhao State take the lead, first explore the situation, if the time is not right, it is not too late to evacuate.
Zhao Guo only expected not to encounter Xia Guo's ironclad ships at sea, they couldn't afford that kind of artillery, and the middle gunboats would be scrapped, and it was very dangerous in the sea, which was tantamount to the annihilation of the whole army.
Not to mention starvation to death when falling into the sea, the temperature of the sea can freeze people to death, and it is very difficult to swim to the shore, unless you are lucky enough to be floated to the shore, but how many people have this kind of luck, and some soldiers and generals are still wearing heavy armor, which falls into the water and does not take it off in time, that can only wait to be choked to death.
"Aren't you resting so late, Your Majesty?" Sun Yan looked at Jiang He still standing on the high ground, and walked over and asked with concern.
Han Feng turned to Sun Yan and said: "There is a big battle coming soon, where can I sleep, there should be a lot of enemy troops this time, although we occupy the right time and place, but we still can't underestimate the enemy, once there is a little neglect of the lives of these 100,000 soldiers, they will be threatened."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, there are patrols all the time, and if the enemy army lands, it will definitely be discovered, but you are a generation of kings, it is better to pay attention to your physical safety." Sun Yan's eyes also began to be a little tired, after all, this march was a very tiring thing.
"Benefactor, you see that your glasses are full of tiredness, you are a general of our army, I order you to go and rest now." Han Feng was resting all the way, and as a killer, this tiredness is nothing at all, sometimes staring at the target is staring at the target for most of the day, and as a modern person, staying up all night to sprinkle water.
"The last general still has to protect the safety of the king, how dare he sleep!" Before Sun Yan traveled, Liu Cheying told her that there were enemy spies in this army, and it was very likely that they would assassinate Wang Shang, and no one could get close to Hanfeng's convoy when they were marching, and the spies did not have that motivation, but now the timing is different.
The vast majority of the soldiers are resting, and there are tents here as a viewing obstacle, so it will be easier to sneak attack, especially tonight when the moonlight is very poor, there is not much moonlight, this is the best time to sneak attack.
"Why hasn't this Xia King rested, it's almost the second watch!" Now the Assassin was also anxiously waiting, although the Assassin was lazy all the way, he could not endure the long journey, and he was very tired now.
