"Quick, get them here!"

As soon as Sima Xin heard this, his eyes also appeared bright, it was his usual practice to send boats at the front of the fleet, but before, those boats came back to report that they were all safe, and this was the first time he wanted to get on the boat.

Not long after, a sergeant who was already very tanned by the sun on the sea arrived on the deck, obviously his breath had not yet breathed, and as soon as he saw Sima Xin, he hurriedly reported: "General, we have finally discovered a continent, according to the description of the previous king, this continent should be the Peacock Empire!" ”

"Oh? How far is this place from where we are waiting for? Hearing this, Sima Xin forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and continued to ask pretending to be very indifferent.

"It's about dozens of miles, if the wind is good, you can reach it in one day!"

After understanding this, Sima Xin finally let out a long breath, and he could arrive within a day or two, which means that by this time, the remaining soldiers can basically be preserved to the end.

Although he had clearly told Sima Xin when he inspected Nanhai County before the departure, there would definitely be losses on the way by boat, and the amount of this loss would not be small, and Yinggao repeatedly stressed to Sima Xin that it was necessary to prevent the occurrence of large-scale infectious diseases when sailing at sea, and sometimes, the appropriate sacrifice of a small number of people was the practice of preserving the majority of people.

At that time, Sima Xinna agreed to Yinggao with a mouthful, and he didn't take Yinggao's words too seriously at that time.

But when Sima Xin really sailed with the sergeants on the sea for a long time, he finally understood Yinggao's advice at that time, wind and waves, and the long voyage could not see anything other than sea water, and these pressures on the soldiers were not expected by Sima Xin at all.

When they encountered some relatively large wind and waves, there was even a situation where the entire warship was overturned by the wind and waves, and in such a situation, the sergeant who was turned into the sea was able to rely on his skillful water and good physical strength to climb onto other warships and be saved, not even a third.

At first, when this happened, Sima Xin was quite sad, but gradually, he found that it was exactly the same as Yinggao told him before, these natural disasters could not be avoided at all, and this was the necessary casualty that Yinggao had repeatedly emphasized before.

Although Yinggao had already been reminded, the risks and casualties again and again had already made Sima Xin's patience almost run out. If it weren't for this discovery, even Sima Xin didn't know how long he could hold out.

"You will also go to that land to observe, see if there will be any risks after I land there, and if I find any enemy troops, I will report immediately."

Although he was very excited in his heart, Sima Xin's thinking was still clear, because he also remembered another piece of advice that Yinggao had given him before he set off, that is, landing was just the easiest step in this war, and after landing, the real test might have just begun.

It is very likely that they will be attacked directly by the enemy while they are still very tired, and in such a situation, they must be prepared for battle before disembarking, otherwise the time when the sergeants are most relaxed when they get off the ship. Once you are attacked with ferocity, the consequences are absolutely unimaginable.

After the boat disappeared in front of the warship again, Sima Xin ordered like his own fleet that everyone should eat and drink enough on this day, and no longer calculate whether the fresh water is enough, and no longer calculate how many days the food can last, everyone must eat and drink enough, and then sleep beautifully, and the purpose of this is to meet the challenge of the enemy army when they land.

"So, we're about to reach the realm of the Mauryan Empire?"

"This time should be right, although the general has comforted us many times before, but he has never let us not care about the amount of food and fresh water, since this time he said so, I can't be wrong."

"That's good, when I really get to the territory of the Peacock Empire, even if there are enemy troops, we will fight them and avenge those soldiers who fell into the sea!"

The sergeant who said this was the one who had encountered the warship he was riding in before being directly overturned by the wind and waves, and then he fell into the sea and luckily grabbed a plank, so he persevered until he was rescued by the soldiers on other warships.

But the warriors who fell into the sea with him were not so lucky, and there were basically very few who were rescued, and by this time, he had already attributed the death of the warriors who were in the same boat with him to the Mauryan people.

Such an atmosphere slowly spread over the warships, and for a while, there was no need for any mobilization at all, and all the sergeants ate meat and fish in large portions during the day, and drank fresh water in large gulps.

When they had done this, they put their armor on their bodies again, polished their weapons very brightly, and then they almost fell asleep with their weapons in their arms. If Yinggao saw such a scene at this time, he would definitely be moved and think of a word often used in later generations: pillow and wait.

The same situation also happened to the naval army led by Peng Yue, although the chart he got was slightly different from Sima Xin's, but it was the result of Yinggao's not wanting the two of them to land at the same place, the actual distance they sailed was not the same, but the distance was not much different.

In these dozens of miles, they were actually not slow to sail, but in Sima Xin's eyes, the time of the day was very long, and he almost went to the deck every less than half an hour to observe to see if he could already see the outline of the shore and the city.

Peng Yue, like Sima Xin, also sent a few small boats as outposts, and regularly sent him news from the front, and it was a small boat that discovered the land before, and they were also moving in the direction of the land at full speed at this time.

But just when Peng Yue predicted that there was still a gap between him and the land, a small boat came back quickly, and brought back a piece of news that surprised Peng Yue.

"General, I went to the vicinity of the coast to investigate, and found that there were many warships docked at the seaside, and there were also many warships under construction.

Peng Yue didn't expect that he might directly touch the base camp of the Peacock Dynasty's naval army, according to the sergeants under his command, if these warships were really prepared with a full load of naval troops, the strength might reach at least 180,000, although the number of soldiers under his command was not less than them, but Peng Yue also knew that after such a long voyage, even if they were full of food or two, and slept well for these two nights, their combat effectiveness would still be able to have normal eight achievements.

Peng Yue thought about it in his mind for a while, and then asked silently: "When you went to investigate, did you let the Peacock Dynasty's sailors discover the existence of you?" ”

"General rest assured, we didn't get close after discovering the warship, and the Mauryan Empire's navy did not have any patrol ships on the sea, and it seemed that the situation was all in full swing to make warships, and we guessed that we might want to rush to make warships and send troops, so I guessed that there might be a very large number of sailors in this vicinity."

"Okay, let's continue to check from afar, and if there is any new discovery, let us know immediately, and we will also change the original landing location, bypass these ships, and find a place where these people will not find us in the first place before landing!"

In the first half of the sentence, Peng Yue said it to the scout who came over to report just now, and the second sentence was said to the deputy general behind him.

"General, if we land elsewhere, I'm afraid that none of our warships will have a safe place to dock, and once we get ashore, we will become foot soldiers."

"According to the emperor's edict, it was originally intended for me to use it as a foot soldier after landing, and no matter whether this attack is successful or unsuccessful, this general can tell everyone that we don't have to return to Daqin from the sea again! Jun Shang had already found a land route from Great Qin to this Peacock Dynasty before he set out on the expedition, and at this time, the land route had been led by Shan Yu Xiang Yu of the Huns and Han Xin, the general of Great Qin, to enter the territory of this Peacock Dynasty, and they entered the Peacock Dynasty earlier than us! Although we have encountered the Mauryan Empire's naval army again, once we attack it, it will be a flat country all the way to the capital of the Mauryan Empire! Therefore, whether these warships are docked safely or not is not something that we need to worry about first! ”

Before, when Peng Yue knew about Han Xin and Xiang Yu's army, he chose not to inform his soldiers of this matter as soon as possible, according to the situation they originally knew, this time to attack the Peacock Dynasty, there would only be two water armies of them and Sima Xin, so in their minds, once they can't beat it, they must run back the same way, otherwise if they are blocked in this strange place, it will basically be the end of the annihilation of the whole army.

But now, they know that Daqin actually has a large army, and it is led by Han Xin, a general who is more powerful than Sima Xin and Peng Yue, and the cavalry of the Xiongnu is also involved, which greatly boosts their confidence.

In this way, according to Peng Yue's plan, Daqin's group of warships changed direction, and their purpose was not to let these sailors on the shore of the Mauryan Dynasty not find out their whereabouts, but to let them have enough time to prepare after they went ashore.

Compared with Sima Xin, Peng Yue's luck is indeed a lot worse, the place where Sima Xin landed, it was called a horse Pingchuan, but what Peng Yue encountered was the water army that was about to go to Daqin in the heart of the relics.

At this time, these Mauryan navy basically paid all their attention to building the warships in time, and they did not patrol, one because their attention was not on this, and the other was because they did not believe that there would be enemy troops landing here from the coast in front of them.

Because according to the legend of the Sari, they set out on this expedition to receive a dynasty that was not small in territory, but in fact it was very weak, and when they defeated that dynasty, whether it was the treasures of that dynasty or the women of that dynasty, they could be rewarded.

In addition, Xu Fu, a friend from that dynasty, had already provided a chart from the Peacock Dynasty to Great Qin, so these soldiers did not have any pressure, they thought that this matter was like going on a tour, and it was not too difficult.

But what they didn't know was that on the narrow coastline of the Mauryan Empire, there were already two Great Qin armies about to land at this time.

After two days, Sima Xin's sailors have successfully landed on a deserted beach, the place where they landed, it was really very pleasant, the beach was uninhabited as far as the eye could see, and there was a small hill not far from the beach.

Sima Xin decided not to march rashly, but sent a small team of scouts to investigate whether there were enemy troops or villages nearby, and then directly ordered the sergeants under his command to carry all the grain, grass and baggage on the ship to the bottom of this hill, and set up camp under this hill.

Sima Xin still knows the truth of sharpening the knife and cutting wood, he found that the terrain after landing on it, he knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which could allow the soldiers under his command to restore their physical strength to a normal level here, and when the physical strength of these soldiers recovered, Sima Xin had the confidence to go directly to the capital of the Mauryan Empire.

Once Han Xin and Xiang Yu really set out according to Yinggao's plan, Sima Xin is fully confident that he will complete this matter beautifully, of course, because he and Peng Yue are all leading the same number of sailors but starting from two different directions, so Sima Xin held his breath in his heart before leaving, not to mention anything else, he just wanted to do better than Peng Yue.

Peng Yue and Sima Xin's circumstances are different, but Han Xin and Xiang Yu can only rely on their own strategies to achieve their goals, time passes day by day, in fact, Han Xin has already calculated a rough come, according to the normal distance, Sima Xin and Peng Yue should have landed.
