The sea is just water, but the sea is not the same as the sea.

From the city of saints to the southwest of about a hundred miles can enter the sea, and then it takes twelve or three days to sail to the southern frontier of the country of war, the road before and after the twenty days of the battle situation Shen Leng knows nothing, no one can send the news in time, there is no use in the end of the battle situation, but Shen Leng to the city of saints must come this trip, even if you are not sure whether the letter of the great monk of the temple has any effect, you have to come, there is a letter, you may retreat the enemy's soldiers without a fight.

Of course, Shen Leng didn't plan not to fight, and he didn't plan not to fight from the beginning.

Daning has always been such a Daning, if you don't beat me, I may not beat you, if you come to beat me, I will definitely beat you.

The sea route from Qiuli to the country of Ao is rarely taken, and the sea is still the same as it was at its beginning, which is awe-inspiring.

Ten days of sailing is a torment for Shen Leng and for the soldiers, but fortunately, time will not really slow down or become faster, time ignores people's hearts, maybe the most ruthless is the fairest.

The atmosphere of the fleet of 5,000 people has become more strange after entering the sea area of the Miao country, and Qiu Li has been hostile to the Miao country for many years, so it is understandable that few people have fallen down on that sea route, but the sea is a big country in maritime trade, and shipping is one of the pillars of the economy, and now all the way over, there are not a few big ships in sight along the coast, and the merchants are not playing with their lives to make money, so they would rather take a detour farther or simply stop the operation than go to the battlefield to find themselves bored.

Rilang country believes in Zen Buddhism, it is rumored that every generation of emperors is a sincere disciple of Zen Buddhism, otherwise the old emperor would not have run to the city of saints, because of this, the combat power of the army of Rilang is actually somewhat exaggerated, can resist the rest of the army for ten years, not that the soldiers of the Rilang country can fight, but the rest of the battle line is too long to take into account, when the rest of the Eastern Expedition to the country of Rilang thought that it was the same as the small country conquered before, casually send tens of thousands of people to send the country of Rilang into the corner of the history books, In a few hundred years it will be forgotten.

Countries like the country of Japan and the country of the country have one thing in common, the geographical location determines the diversity of the culture of the two countries, the culture of the country to the west of the country is very different from the Central Plains, and the country of Japan has been in contact with the country for a long time, and the country of the country has long admired the culture of the Central Plains, so the two countries are very confused in terms of folk customs and architectural styles, especially in the commercial city, the eastern wooden building and the western ashron tower building are not uncommon, with the increasing development of the economy, the original architectural style of the country has been forgotten.

Someone once said that the more developed the country is often not militarily strong, this does not mean that the military strength of such a country is very weak, but for a long time under the subtle thinking of businessmen, the army often cannot maintain a strong fighting spirit even in the face of death, and a strong military strength does not mean that the combat strength is strong.

Shen Leng didn't think that this sentence was necessarily right, but it was undeniable that the combat effectiveness of the army of the Miao Kingdom and the army of Qiuli was not at the same level at all, of course, compared to Daning, the combat strength of the army did not need to be praised.

After dozens of naval divisions' warships sailed into the waters of the Ao Kingdom, they could see smoke burning in some places on the land from a distance, which was the place of war, and there should be killings.

The soldiers of Daning were accustomed to killing and were not accustomed to being killed.

In fact, the soldiers of Daning have never been able to mention the true protection of places like the country of Qiao and Qiuli, maybe it will take at least ten or twenty years or even more to really treat the people here as their own, but the mentality of the soldiers of Daning has always been that wherever I have beaten it must be my territory, so no one can beat my people on my territory except me.

"Why don't you see the scout ship of the Rilang Country?"

Chen Ran still looked puzzled when he came down from the watchtower of the mast, the soldiers on the watchtower did not warn him for a long time, so that Chen Ran suspected that he was asleep, he climbed up and looked at the front and back for a while, but he didn't find a single warship of the Rilang Kingdom, judging from the map, this place is less than fifty miles away from the place where the 200,000 troops of the Rilang Kingdom landed and camped, it can't be that even the scout ship forgot to arrange, right?

"Leave him alone, keep going."

Shen Leng commanded, but he still changed the formation of the warships, and as the iron rhino of the collision ships reached the front one by one, the speed of the fleet had to be reduced.

In this way, I walked about thirty miles of waterway, and there was nothing abnormal on the land except for the occasional puff of black smoke, and it had entered within fifteen miles of the enemy's camp, and it stands to reason that there should be enemy ships everywhere, but when I arrived here, not a single warship of the Japanese country was found.

"Something is wrong."

Chen Ran approached Shen Leng: "Could it be that our brothers in coastal defense have been defeated?" Therefore, the army of the country of Rilang drove straight in, so that there were no people near the coast. ”

"There are more than 10,000 soldiers on our side, only defending and not attacking, even if there are really 200,000 troops attacking the Rilang Kingdom, they will definitely not break through the defense line so quickly."

At this moment, he couldn't continue to move forward like this, so Shen Leng ordered the sailor warship to drop anchor and assign scouts to go ashore.

About two hours later, the scouts on the coast returned, along with the local soldier general Li Wenshan, who is now staying in the country, one-third of the veterans who originally invaded the country, and two-thirds of the recruits trained in the arsenal of southern Xinjiang.

The war horse stayed on the shore, and Li Wenshan got on a small boat and went to Shen Leng's flagship, which was Zhuang Yong's flagship Shenwei and was temporarily lent to Shen Leng.

After Li Wenshan got on the warship, he walked a few steps quickly and came to Shen Leng and hugged his fists: "Meet the general." ”

Shen Leng hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him: "Where did you get so much etiquette, we don't need to be like this between us." ”

Li Wenshan said: "The rules can't be broken, the general has worked hard all the way." ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "It's hard but it's not hard, it's just anxious, let me ask you one thing, why did I still not see the army of Rilang Country when I arrived here?" ”

Li Wenshan couldn't help but laugh: "The general has never seen the fighting style of the army of the Rilang Kingdom, if he does, he will understand...... Originally, I heard that the 200,000 troops of the Rilang country had invaded the coast, and I was still a little apprehensive when I brought the troops over, how did I know that these soldiers of the Rilang country were veritable monk soldiers, and many people were afraid of blood when they saw it, saying that they were here to fight, but it was better to scare people. ”

"Huh?"

Shen Leng was stunned: "Monk soldier? Are they all monks? ”

"No, it's that they don't dare to kill like monks, and when there are many people in the battle, they shout and rush forward, and once the people in front of them die, they start to run backwards......"

Shen Leng asked: "I see that there are many places on the shore, isn't it the army of the Rilang Kingdom that is dividing its troops to attack?" ”

"Yes."

Li Wenshan explained: "But I can't stand their way of playing, really, sometimes I can't help but want to go over and have a good chat with them, let's fight the war, let's not keep playing around like this...... Not long ago, the army of the 20,000-day country besieged Suyu County, and the general, do you know how they attacked the city? They first spent seven days outside the city to build a large barracks, but they did not live in it, and their leading general rode outside the city gate and said...... If you don't open the gates and surrender, your fate will be exactly the same as these barracks, and then he will order a fire to burn down the barracks that they have worked so hard to build, and those people still have the expressions on their faces that you are afraid of......

Chen Ran: "......Is it so cute?"

Li Wenshan sighed: "Really, I can't help but think about it for a while, talk to them well, just beat us, don't build a house and burn it to scare people." ”

Shen Leng: "How did they resist the Ten Years of Rest?" ”

Li Wenshan said: "Later, I also inquired curiously, captured some prisoners of the Rilang Kingdom, and asked them, they said that in order to resist the onslaught of the Anxi army, they built a city wall of more than 600 miles from north to south on the western frontier, anyway, their Rilang Kingdom is quite rich...... As a result, the army of the country of peace bypassed the city wall defense and came in, and they also scolded people for not following the rules, how could there be a bypass to fight, that is, in that war, the country of peace conquered fifteen cities in the country of Rilang in a row, and the country of Japan mobilized 300,000 troops to surround the 40,000 troops of the country that broke into the country, and every day they took turns to send people to the outside of the camp to reason, and they did not get tired of it, and I even felt that the rest of the country did not fight for ten years, because the reasonable people were not annoyed with them......

Li Wenshan continued: "I also heard that at the beginning, five hundred soldiers who rested in peace could chase the soldiers of the seven or eight thousand Rilang Kingdom, chasing all the way and running all the way, and they didn't even dare to fight. ”

Shen Leng felt that his anxiety on the road was a little redundant when he came......

Li Wenshan said: "General, it's good that you're here, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it." ”

Shen Leng: "Isn't the war not fierce?" ”

"Fierce is not intense, every day a group of people come outside to reason I really can't hold on, the day before yesterday came more than 30 monks, said as long as I am willing to surrender, these 30 or so monks can choose any one to worship him as a teacher, in their country of Lang these great monks are highly respected people, ordinary people want to worship them as teachers are difficult, probably they think this opportunity is rare, want me to seize the ......"

Shen Leng now felt that it was a bit redundant for him to go to Saint City on purpose.

"Let's go see the situation first."

Shen Leng suddenly remembered something: "How did you come out smoothly, the 200,000 army of the Rilang Kingdom was not sealed?" ”

Li Wenshan said: "It's sealed, it's very serious, and when they sent someone to reason with me yesterday, they also said, you see, we have surrounded your city, and we have deliberately left an intersection that allows the people to enter and exit, which is convenient for others and ourselves...... The general's battle is really not easy to fight, you take it seriously, he is playing with you, I have also been in the army for many years, and it is the first time I have seen such an opponent. ”

He looked at Shen Leng and said seriously: "It's been so long since I fought a war, and for the first time, I have a feeling of being reluctant to beat the enemy. ”
