Chapter 600: Seize the Liaodong Peninsula

Here is fun, not thinking. Gentle, the countryside is also romantic.

This is Li Huaitang's emotion about his lingering in the 'flowers' for several months. Luoyang, a beauty, made him miss and intoxicated so much that he almost couldn't extricate himself. Especially since he had just bought a hot spring in the west of Luoyang City, and was preparing to enjoy it with the beauties

It's a pity that the emperor's urging was urgent, and even the Tianchang Festival didn't let him spend it safely in Luoyang. Although he was still involved in a serious case before the Third Division, and despite the fact that the accusations of the Eastern Turks against him never stopped, he was released.

The parting is extremely lingering and resentful, and the beauties are still sending each other for ten miles.

I had hoped that Li Lang would return victoriously, and the wild 'flowers' on the roadside should not be picked, and the sound of tearful pleas and affection was in my ears, as if it was a continuation of last night's crazy water 'milk' and 'blending'.

The love of children and daughters is long, and the heroes are short. Seeing that it was difficult to say goodbye, Li Huaitang ruthlessly sent a deep 'kiss' to each person, and then jumped on the war horse, and did not refuse to go north.

The time is indeed ripe for the expedition, the autumn wind rises, the war horses are, after more than half a year of rest, the Ningyuan iron cavalry has enough food, and the tens of thousands of new troops and armor recruited on the spot have been in place. At the same time, the quietly established Liaodong fleet has been further strengthened both financially and humanitarianly.

The biggest difficulty in conquering the Bohai State is that it cannot be quickly resolved, the Bohai State is different from the Khitans, they occupy many cities of the Goguryeo people, and they can not hold out of the division, and the main force is familiar with the terrain advantage, and Ningyuan Iron Cavalry fights, if Ningyuan Iron Cavalry goes deep into its territory, the defending troops cut off the back road of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry at any time, and when Ningyuan Iron Cavalry becomes a tired army, their main force will return to pursue, in this way, Ningyuan Iron Cavalry will have no chance of winning.

The only way to prevent the enemy's strategy from succeeding is to establish a stronghold on the coast of the Liaodong Peninsula and use it as a food supply station to resolve the enemy's advantage invisibly.

Such a stronghold has long been favored by Li Huaitang.

At the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, there is a small fishing port, Mingduli Town.

As the only ice-free port in the north, Duli Town could have developed into a good fishing port, but thanks to the Japanese invaders, the nearby population was so sparsely populated that when the Bohai convoy landed, the nearby residents thought that the Japanese were coming again, and fled into the mountains as usual.

"'Milk' and 'milk', why is it so desolate? I want to cut off a few heads and add a silver star! ”

Chu Tiankuo stepped on the beach and complained dissatisfiedly.

"What are you calling, I'm still wronged!"

In order to successfully capture this stronghold, Li Huaitang spared no expense and allocated the wolf tooth team to Feng Changqing.

Chu Tiankuo rolled his eyes, Tu Bulie and the others all had five silver stars, and there was still a lone seedling in front of his 'chest'.

Since he assassinated four water thieves with a short spear on the Yangtze River, he was pleasantly surprised by the corresponding rewards that came unexpectedly, especially the silver star that represented the meritorious service, he had seen it on the body of Han Erlang and other knights, and learned the meaning of the silver star, there are stars that are indeed different, and the arrogance on their faces is different. From that moment on, he dreamed of hanging five stars in front of his 'chest' and 'mixing' a general. The landing operation was an opportunity, and he had great expectations, however, he was disappointed, and the destination, the bird's 'feather'.

"Don't talk nonsense, quickly seize the high point and water source, and go out to scout before the scout!"

Feng Changqing jumped down to talk and happened to be standing next to Chu Tiankuo, he kept shouting and giving orders with a black face.

It is of great significance to seize the point, as the head of the Liaodong fleet, he does not dare to slack off. Although the little dog once said that in the past, they could occupy Duli Town with a hundred people, but the Bohai State did not send a single soldier to take a look for most of the year. However, Feng Changqing was still quite cautious, and used a huge fleet to transport 500 soldiers and 3,000 laborers and craftsmen, as well as a large number of pack horses, food and other materials.

The situation was as expected, and the town of Turi was undefended and unresisted. Feng Changqing easily occupied the harbor.

The fleet methodically unloaded the supplies and then returned to the sea to deliver the second batch of labor and supplies.

The landing personnel had their own arrangements, the soldiers set up sentry posts, set up defensive positions, and prepared defensive materials, the craftsmen surveyed the terrain and determined the construction point and trend of the city wall, and the laborers drove the horses to carry sand, soil and stones, and the atmosphere was tense but orderly. Feng Changqing led people to stand on the highest point in Duli Town to lookout. Duli Town faces the sea in the south, surrounded by a series of low mountains in the northwest, and a large muddy tidal flat in the northeast, forming a natural barrier for the army moving south from the Liaodong Peninsula.

"It's really good for defense!"

Unless the attack comes from the sea, it will not be easy for the Bohai State to conquer the well-fortified town of Duli. It is useless to have more people, Duli Town is located at the end of the peninsula, the terrain is narrow, and it is difficult for the attackers to deploy their troops, so they can only use the tactics of adding fuel in the taboo of soldiers, as long as the city wall is cleverly repaired, it will not be a problem to block it.

After just a quick glance, Feng Changqing immediately made up his mind to transfer the base camp of the Liaodong fleet from Damiao Island to Duli Town!

Since then, ships have been shuttling day and night on the sea surface of Bohai Bay, and a large number of human and material resources have been continuously transported to Duli Town. The Liaodong fleet has been joined by hundreds of Chu soldiers, and its strength has improved rapidly, especially in terms of sailing, the sailing speed of the fleet is much faster than before, and it is much safer, at least Feng Changqing does not have to worry about the fleet being blown away by the wind and overturned by the sea 'waves' because of 'operation' mistakes.

This was thanks to Li Huaitang's request, Chu Tiankuo's sailors recruited from his hometown were all experienced in sailing, and under the 'mixed' offensive of boasting of adding money, many people from the same clan and even nearby townships signed up, and finally selected 500 people to go to Damiao Island.

After observing the terrain, Feng Changqing gave Tu Bulie a task that was better than nothing: lead people to search the mountains and capture prisoners.

The mountains at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula are relatively low, but the mountains are densely forested, which is very suitable for hiding from cats. It's just that when an amateur refugee meets a professional capture team, the game is not so fun.

Wolffang is also equipped with two hounds, which can easily find the local residents hiding in the woods and grass.

In a dense grass, Tu Bulie saw a small piece of 'flower' cloth 'exposed' from afar.

"Get out of here!"

Tu Bulie impatiently swept with the back of his knife, striking the grass and startling the snake.

"Ahh ％^，*(！ ”

The 'female' soprano screamed, and the sound quality was quite pleasant, indicating that her identity was a little girl, but she couldn't understand what she said.

The little lady stood up in a panic and wanted to run with her back to Tu Buyeong. Tu Bulie's eyes were quick, and he reached out and dragged her back.

Hey?! Yes, it's a weak and slender little beauty.

"Head, make a lot of money! Can I share it? Qin Wuyang expressed envy and jealousy. is also to capture prisoners, he only caught the old man, the old woman, or the child, and the rest of the wolf-toothed soldiers had similar gains, only Tu Bulie made an extraordinary move and captured a little beauty.

Tu Buyeo said angrily: "Are you lard 'blinded'?" Don't you see what this little lady wears? Can ordinary people wear this virtue? ”

"Huh?!" Only then did Qin Wuyang and the others realize the clue. The little beauty is gorgeously dressed and has valuable ornaments on her body, and she is by no means an ordinary person.

In front of a group of evil smiling strong men, the little beauty's 'flower' lost her 'color', trembling as if walking on thin ice.

"Who are you?" Tu Buyeo thought for a while, and 'revealed' a self-righteous expression.

The little lady looked at each other in horror, and stammered for a long time before answering the question: "Ben, I, I, yes, Silla people." "The tone is stiff, obviously not a Tang person.

"Head, you've moved your heart, it's the first time I've seen you so gentle. Let me do the search for you! Qin Wuyang laughed.

Good advice. Maybe you can find clues in her.

"Get out, I'm here to search my body!" Tu Bulie glared at Qin Wuyang angrily, feeling like a 'flower' envoy.

The body search was fruitless.

"Head, 'forced' confession, stripped her naked in public, and recruited everything to keep her!"

Someone made a fuss, causing a lot of laughter.

"Get out!" Tu Bulie said angrily, "Despise you beasts! Warn you, no one is to touch her! ”

Qin Wuyang pretended to be shocked: "Lao Tu has been touched by the demeanor of a general, and he has learned to pity the 'jade'!" ”

"Get out!"

"Haha"......

No one took this little lady seriously, and the doubts in Tu Buyeol's heart were dispelled by Xiao Niang's later explanation. Beauty said, she came from a Silla merchant family, followed her father to Liaodong, and on a whim, she secretly ran here to look at the rich Tang Dynasty across the sea, but as a result, she was arrested.

Tu Buyeol laughed at it, he thought that no matter whether this beauty lied or not, there would be no threat. Didn't the general have a similar 'glamorous' encounter?

The search operation lasted for a day and a night, and compared to the strength of the wolf's teeth, the mountains and forests were still too large, and it was inevitable that there would be fish that slipped through the net. After Tu Bulie and the others left, a weak Bohai State soldier crawled out of a hidden abandoned trap, with an anxious 'look' on his face, and staggered north......

The construction of the town of Tori has been in full swing since the landing, and more than 3,000 recruited strongmen, craftsmen and captives have put their sweat and toil into the huge construction of a city wall. The city wall is more than ten miles long, and the semi-circle winds and stretches on the top of the mountain bag gang that surrounds the town of Duli. Once the fortifications are built, the defenders will be condescending to defend the danger, which will definitely make the enemy feel distressed.

In the construction team, there were more than 100 local prisoners, mainly Goguryeo. Feng Changqing sent Tu Bulie to search for residents who had fled into the mountains and forests, mainly to prevent the leakage of 'exposed' news.

In fact, Feng Changqing's worries were completely unnecessary.

In the Tang Dynasty, the conditions of 'communication' were far worse than imagined, and most of the Liaodong Peninsula was covered by high mountains and hills, and the fall of Duli Town could not be reached in the ears of the great martial arts of the Bohai State in less than half a year. Even if it did, it might not have caught his attention, and the harbor was often occupied by the Wokou, so there was nothing to make a fuss about.

The world is always unpredictable, and the will of heaven is unpredictable. It was completely contrary to Feng Changqing's original intention, because his order to add to the snake had prompted the Bohai Navy to counterattack in advance.

The news of taking control of Duli Town soon reached Danzhou, and Li Huaitang received the good news as soon as he arrived at the military camp of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry.

As long as the town of Duli is in hand, the Eastern Expeditionary Army will have no worries. Although the Bohai State also has a naval army, but the strength is weak, not even as strong as the Japanese dogs, Li Huaitang is not worried, and even plans to take the initiative to enter the Liaodong Bay to eliminate the only sea force of the Bohai State, so that the grain fleet can go up hundreds of miles along the Liao River, once the plan is successful, he can not only get enough military supplies in time, but also send away the wounded, prisoners and captured property.
