Chapter 971: The True Test
The port of Qiongzhou Mansion is very lively early in the morning, the three lucky ships dock at the dock in order, the sails have been lowered, and the big bright flag on the main pole is still fluttering in the wind.
Adou and Seungzuo stepped down from the ship together, and a thousand soldiers of the Marine Battalion followed behind them. Mao Wenlong and the rest of his subordinates stood on the dock and watched their arrival.
"Adou, Chengzuo see the general soldiers." The two clasped their fists and saluted Mao Wenlong.
"You don't have to be so outside, things are going well!" While Mao Wenlong spoke, he looked behind the two.
The soldiers of the 1,000 Marine Battalion were neatly arrayed, and Mao Wenlong knew at a glance whether there were any less people. did not disappoint Mao Wenlong, a thousand people went out, and a thousand people came back completely.
Adou waved his hand to summon a personal guard, took a wooden box from his hand, and opened it in front of Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, this is the head of Nangong Xianming, we are fortunate to live up to our orders and complete the task assigned to us by the general soldier." ”
Mao Wenlong just glanced at it, it was indeed a human head, but Mao Wenlong didn't know any Nangong Xianming, so he didn't know if it was true or not. But it doesn't matter if it's true or not, Mao Wenlong has absolute confidence, he believes that Adou doesn't need to deceive himself in such a thing.
Nodding, Mao Wenlong said lightly: "You have all worked hard, go down to rest first, and hold a celebration banquet for you in the evening." ”
"Xie Zongbing!" Chengzuo and Adou did not postpone any time, and after agreeing, they said goodbye and left.
One thousand soldiers of the Marine battalion who had gone to Hanoi also dispersed on their own, welcomed by their companions. The lively port soon returned to calm, and Mao Wenlong also returned to the mansion of Qiongzhou Mansion surrounded by everyone.
In the spacious hall, Mao Wenlong was in a happy mood, accompanied by Chen Qiyu and others, but I don't know why Mao Wenlong was suddenly in a good mood.
Driven by curiosity, Chen Qiyu finally asked Mao Wenlong his doubts: "Chief soldier, why are you suddenly in a good mood?" ”
Mao Wenlong said: "After this test, the Marine Battalion has proved that the training results in the past six months have been good. Since then, the training method of soldiers in the Marine Corps Battalion has already had such a template, and it only needs to be slightly improved. ”
Xu Fuzuo hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and said: "Chief soldier, since our training has already seen results, shouldn't we also really fight?" ”
Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Yes, it's time for a real fight." ”
Chen Qiyu's eyes lit up, and he leaned in front of Mao Wenlong and said, "Is the general army ready to send troops to Vietnam?" ”
Shaking his head, Mao Wenlong said: "Vietnam, no, no, no, the strength over there is simply not enough to show our true strength." ”
Chen Qiyu was very confused: "Who is the chief soldier going to fight with?" ”
Mao Wenlong said fiercely: "Wokou." ”
When night fell, the celebration banquet promised by Mao Wenlong began immediately, but there was no wine in the sumptuous wine and food. The generals didn't say much, with the lesson of the last time, Chen Qiyu and these generals didn't dare to do it again.
During the banquet, Mao Wenlong once again announced that he would prepare to send troops on the same day to attack the Japanese army entrenched overseas. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a burst of excitement.
Ten days later, all the 100,000 sailors stationed in Qiongzhou Prefecture were assembled, and 500 warships docked at the port. Mao Wenlong personally worshiped the god of the sea, and then directly led the army to set off.
Since the last time they repelled the Japanese army, they no longer dared to set foot in the South China Sea. Even the sea area of Guangzhou Fucheng did not dare to go, and only dared to stay in the sea off Fujian.
This time, Mao Wenlong led an army of 100,000 troops to Fujian, stopped in Fujian waters, and sent a exploration ship to find out the current location of the Japanese navy.
It took three days for the exploration ship to leave, but there was no news to send it back, and after Mao Wenlong hesitated, he sent a hot air balloon to investigate. Ten days passed, and Mao Wenlong waited until he was anxious to see the hot air balloon and the exploration boat come back together.
The Japanese navy, which had been entrenched in the vicinity of Fujian's waters, had already returned to the Japanese two months earlier. After all, tens of thousands of troops have been stationed in the open sea for a long time, and the grain and grass required is definitely not a small amount.
In peacetime, the Japanese may still be able to support it, and the merchant ships that come and go can be robbed, and it can completely support an army of tens of thousands of people to barely survive.
But since the arrival of the Dongjiang Army's naval division, the Japanese have been completely unable to survive here. In the case of food and grass supplies, it is normal for the Japanese army to evacuate.
After Mao Wenlong learned of the situation, he began to hesitate. The Japanese naval army has retreated to the waters of the Japanese state, and if the Dongjiang army wants to fight against it again, it is bound to go to the door of the Japanese invaders.
Chen Qiyu didn't care, and said to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, let's fight over, there is nothing to hesitate." ”
Chen Jisheng also then said: "Yes, Chief Soldier, the Japanese were not our opponents last time, let alone now. We have an army of 100,000 people, how can we be afraid of those robbers? ”
Mao Wenlong frowned and said: "You are all too careless, the last time we were in the open sea of Fujian, we took advantage of the right time and place." Now that the Japanese have returned to the Japanese country, we have to go to war at their doorstep, and there are many things to worry about. ”
"Chief soldier, why don't we let the marine battalion go and test the details of the Japanese first, and then make a decision afterwards!" Adou bowed his hand.
"That's okay." Mao Wenlong nodded and agreed.
After that, Adou led 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Marine Battalion to leave and disappeared into the vast sea.
In the waters of the Wa Kingdom, 200 warships floated quietly on the sheltered harbor, and only sparse Wako remained on the deck of the warship.
Two Japanese sailors cleaning the deck were muttering to each other.
"Now that everyone has been gone for more than a month, the prince has left us here to guard these warships, alas, our lives are not good!" The short Wako samurai grumbled.
"Be content, we'll stay here and clean the ship every day. I heard that those who followed the prince are still fighting against other lords. Now the outcome is undecided, and how many of those who went will be able to come back alive is still to be said. "The tall widow is self-satisfied.
"Is the prince going back to fight another lord?" The short widow was surprised!
"Hehe, you don't know this! Last night, when I was delivering food to the general, I heard a spy report on the Prince's side. It is said that the fighting over there is now fierce, with numerous casualties. "The tall man said proudly.
The two would-be robbers were talking happily, but they didn't know that the two figures behind them had quietly approached. The sharp dagger was already against the two of them in the blink of an eye, and the cold blade quickly made the two of them stupid.
"Answer whatever you ask, and do not shout or delay in any way, or you will surely die." The cold voice came from behind the tall widow.
