Jingdong East Road, Wendeng, Liugongshan Island, this is just the land of Shandong, a very ordinary island, but because of the existence of a patrol battalion, the construction is not bad, there is a patrol battalion nearby, and a large number of fishermen exist.

However, one day earlier, the arrival of a large number of troops broke the peace here, and 3,000 cavalry of the Western Army were stationed here.

The Northern Song Dynasty lacked cavalry, but that kind of cavalry refers to large-scale heavy cavalry, in the Western Army, the number of cavalry is not small, but when the group charges, facing the Western Xia army, it is in a relatively weak position.

However, among the hundreds of thousands of troops, it can still be selected, because entering the Liaodong Peninsula, this is the first time, even if the Imperial City Division gives a relatively clear map, but no one knows what this battle will be like, and the elite must be selected.

About 1,200 people were selected from the forbidden army in the capital, and some of them were urgently transferred from the western army, making up 3,000 people.

There are fewer people, so the advantage is that there are more horses, the Western Army itself, because of the existence of Han Qi, in the battle of Western Xia, a large number of various horses were captured, this time, it carried a lot, 3000 people, a total of more than 7000 horses, not because I don't want more, but because there are relatively few people who can control more than 3 horses by one person, and most of them can only control two.

On the premise of sparing no horsepower, from the northwest all the way to the capital, and then to Wendeng, the distance of more than 3,000 miles in the middle, it only took 5 days in total, and when they arrived, the order from Jingdong Road had just arrived near Liugongshan Island.

Liu Gongshan Island, a small border island, close to the coastline, if it weren't for the existence of the patrol battalion, his surroundings would be quite desolate, and only a piece of the area could be set aside for the garrison of these cavalry.

The cavalrymen were well trained, and soon set up camp, took out the bean cakes and the like that had been prepared, fed the horses, and let them rest.

The commander of the cavalry was a young general, and this landing on the Liaodong Peninsula could be said to be the first time in the world, and many generals wanted to go, even including Di Qing, who made this request.

However, Di Qing's request was vetoed by Jia Chaochang, Di Qing is Jia Chaochang's favorite general, and in the next Northern Expedition, he will shoulder the heavy responsibility of entering the territory of Liao, although he is not a commander, but he is a pioneer, and it is impossible for him to run to the Liaodong Peninsula.

As for the other generals, maybe they were old, maybe they weren't so proficient in cavalry, so they chose and chosen, and a young general was selected.

Seed of the family, the son of the seed of Shiheng, the new heir of the family, this is still the butterfly effect caused by Zhao Xin, originally, in 1045, the Western Xia situation attacked the Northern Song Dynasty, and the kind of Shiheng was ordered to build a thin waist city, in the fifth year of Qingli, because the city was broken and died.

When Zhao Xin just crossed, the Western Xia was still quite strong, but after Baozhou, especially Han Qi, after arriving in the northwest, the Northern Song Dynasty began to be strong, and in the battle of Liaoxia, speculation destroyed the Western Xia, and the Western Xia attack ceased to exist in history, and in the same way, Chong Shiheng also survived.

However, Chong Shiheng's illness still did not escape, because of his illness, his body was relatively weak.

This is also the fate of many ancient generals, many years of conquest, injury, blood loss, these aspects are not able to supplement, especially a large amount of blood loss, for later generations, only need to supplement blood transfusion, but for this era, can only rely on their own body, it is difficult to replenish, some people are weak and sick.

The age of the seed is not very old, so far, he is not yet 20 years old, but he is already a veteran of the battlefield, and the identity of the seed family, coupled with his own good use of cavalry, was selected to lead the elite of the Western Army and came to Jingdong East Road.

To tell the truth, for a long time in the northwest, he was not accustomed to the humid and hot climate by the sea, but after many years of military career and training, he ordered everyone to set up camp.

Among the 3,000 cavalry, only Chong Ge knew the goal this time, crossing the sea and attacking the hinterland of Liao, such an idea is a bit unbelievable, and they can also get a certain supplement under the premise of being isolated overseas, which is not reliable.

In itself, Chong Ge was quite reluctant to this plan that was obviously sent to death, but his father's words made him agree, because this plan was made by Di Qing, Di Qing is the god of war in the army, and has a high prestige in the Western Army, and the most important thing is that in the middle, Dinghaihou is also involved.

As the descendant of the seed family, the next head of the family, the seed man knows many things that others don't know, including Zhao Xin's identity.

However, what makes the breeders most admired is that Zhao Xin won a decisive victory in the northwest thousands of miles away, the longbow and the fortress, two magic weapons, directly changed the situation in the northwest, and even the demise of Western Xia had Zhao Xin's shadow behind him, which was very terrifying.

Zhao Xin and Di Qing stood behind, this matter is whimsical, and the possibility is very small, so there is a basis for realization.

Even the Northern Song Dynasty, as an actor, did not think of things, the Liao State will not know, this matter is quite stable, as a young man, he also wants to see the newer tactics, so he happily came.

Arrived at Liugongshan Island for two days, 7,000 horses and 3,000 people, all of them passed through the ships of the patrol battalion, went up to Liugongshan Island, from the open prairie, all at once ran to this narrow island, all kinds of discomfort, fortunately, only two or three days, according to the agreement, at the latest today and tomorrow, the sea ship transporting them will arrive.

How big is the big ship, to be honest, I have seen boats, but there are not many of them, there is very little water in the northwest, let alone rivers and boats, on the Yellow River, there are more sheepskin rafts, and there are really not many big boats.

When he arrived at Liugongshan Island, he saw a large number of ships, and in his opinion, these big ships may be the kind of patrol battalion, at most larger.

The patrol battalion of the Northern Song Dynasty, the largest ship, is a 1,500-material sea ship, or a cargo ship, mainly to transport some materials and the like, rarely dispatched, because of the slow speed.

However, such a boat, placed on the river, is a super behemoth, but it is really not big for their cavalry, maybe dozens of cavalry and horses go up, and the boat will be occupied.

Could it be that all at once, dozens, or even hundreds, of boats are needed? Because of the cavalry plus forage and logistics, the number is really not ordinary.

People can squeeze in, according to the patrol battalion, the distance here is not very far, I heard that it is less than 400 miles, and it can be almost reached in one day, two days at most.

But for horses, that's not good, there must be a distance, and it needs to be domesticated, otherwise, 3,000 people go up to the Liaodong Peninsula, but the horses lie down, and it's over.

While he was thinking about it, his soldiers brought me today's lunch, which was a standard set meal, a canned beef, a compressed biscuit, and a little boiling soup.

This is a good delicacy, although the seed is very young, but the experience is definitely not small, since the teenage years on the battlefield, a lot of hardship, sometimes, when the battle is fierce, a nest with a handful of snow rice has also been eaten, but similar to this standard military food has never eaten.

It tastes good, has nutrients and is full, and it is easy to carry, because of the relationship between empty horses, 4,000 horses, almost carrying 80,000 catties of materials, which in the past, the average was 20 catties per horse, I am afraid it is not enough to eat for three or five days, but if it is used to carry military rations, it is at least enough for half a month, which is enough for their initial needs.

I just took a bite, the noise came from outside, although he was young, he was very strict in the military order, this kind of noise was the most annoying, and he was about to attack, at this time his soldiers came over and said: "Wait, big ...... The big ship is coming! ”

This chess and card player under his command has been following Chong Ge for some years, although he is young, he is not unseen in the world, even he is so surprised, no wonder there is such a noise outside, Chong Ge is slightly curious, this should be Ding Haijun's ship to pick them up, how big is it.

Lifting the camp tent and coming out, the cultivator couldn't help but be stunned by the big sea ship in front of him, this is clearly a mountain, because a little material was transported, and the largest boat in the patrol battalion was next to it, just making a comparison.

In comparison, the big ship of the Ding Navy is a mountain, but the ship of the patrol battalion is not even a small house.

"Good guys!" Even the kind of man couldn't help but blurt out.

It was Xue Yu who was in charge of the entire sea ship, and after Sun Ji went to Ryukyu, Xue Yu was the highest level of the Ding Navy, but he was a little bored, and the army had already determined that the premise of not developing was at most four or five thousand troops, which could be used to protect the Ding Navy, so he favored the navy.

This time, Ding Haijun was on a transport mission, but he still decided to go out himself.

This is the largest operation of the Northern Song Dynasty after the alliance of Zhenzong Yuanyuan, directly attacking Youyun in the north, and also using the method of transportation to transport 3,000 cavalry to the Liaodong Peninsula, which is completely unimaginable The way of war, no matter what, he will not be absent.

Although the transportation task is very heavy, it needs to be transported twice in a row, and the location is different, but he prefers to follow the cavalry, but he doesn't know where the cavalry is after transporting the infantry.

Soon, in the camp tent, Xue Yu met with the cultivator, Xue Yu is in the pre-palace class system, and he is also from the general's family, but his age is a few years older than the cultivator, but he is finally a generation, when he served in the Western Army, he has also seen this seed, and he is not unfamiliar.

He didn't expect that he was an acquaintance, and after meeting Xue Yu, the master's problem was placed on the ship, which was the focus of transporting them, and it was necessary to understand.

Xue Yu briefly introduced, in fact, when Zhao Xin ordered to go back, these ships did not leave, and the reason why they came so late was because the ships were modified accordingly.

The original ship, is used to carry cargo, considering the relationship of space, now become a horse, this must be a little different, if according to the previous layout, perhaps with the tonnage, or can pull people away, but the efficiency is not high, and it is easy to cause problems.

Ding Navy will consider anything in front, in the future, Ding Navy will definitely have horses, cavalry, in this era, under the premise that the train does not reach the four directions, cavalry will always be the most powerful weapon.

When it comes to accommodating the horses, the cabin can be adjusted to set up a special place to accommodate the horses, as well as the most comfortable for them.

Changing to other ships, if you want to refit, there is no ten days and half a month, absolutely not, Ding Navy, as early as the beginning of the design of the ship, has already considered the problem of modularity, all the buildings can be adjusted, and add some ancillary facilities, it took almost one and a half days to complete the adjustment process, and then hurriedly came.

According to the agreement, they need to set off in 3 days, and the previous rush has rushed back for some time, but for the seed man, the soldier is very fast, and so is Xue Yu, he also wants to see what the cavalry of the seed can do when they get to the land and the Liaodong Peninsula.

Hit it off, the two sides immediately began to load, at the time of loading, the kind of tree is also a long experience, it looks like a huge ship, actually not a ship, after stopping at the dock, immediately opened all the cabins, almost a plane on the ship.

A large ship of 12,000 materials, if it is a transport ship, can accommodate up to 250 horses, and it takes 30 ships to be able to load all 7,000 horses, and people can only live in the gap between horses.

However, after modification and adjustment, a ship can accommodate at least 500 horses, as long as 15 ships, all the horses are loaded, and then 5 ships are loaded with materials and 10 ships are loaded with personnel, all of which are wide and loose, which is very comfortable.

Because the efficiency was very high, and it was a cavalry, there were not many things to carry, so it took only half a day for them to complete the loading and unloading and start to set off.

After getting on the boat, Chong Ge thought that he would not be able to arrive until the next night, but he didn't expect that according to Xue Yu's words, he would be able to arrive tonight.

When I set off, it was already early afternoon, and it was only about 2 hours before it got dark.

In fact, it is really possible, from Liugongshan Island to the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, only 92 nautical miles, at this time, the monsoon is very reliable, under the premise of full wind, it can reach a speed of 15 knots, so that a total of 6 hours can be reached.

After nightfall, the sky is not completely dark, and the Ding Navy has also investigated the nearby sea areas in advance, and when it is just dark, it is still possible to sail, as long as you arrive at the landing site and take advantage of the night to land, it will be safer.

Although it is said that the landing site has been investigated, and there are no people in the surrounding hundreds of miles, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, which is also the reason why Xue Yu arrived at noon when he could have arrived earlier, in order to arrive at night and land at night.

He didn't know the details, but he didn't have any experience in sea transportation, so he could only obey Xue Yu's completely, fortunately, the whole ship was very well prepared, and the horse he was worried about before would be unwell on a large scale, but it didn't appear, and the stable sea boat, with a very fast speed, crossed the strait and headed towards the Liaodong Peninsula.
