Chapter 157: Coming Down the River

The research and development of a new arrow material, to be honest, if it is in the ordnance department of any country, it is definitely a great achievement, and promotion and fortune are just around the corner. On Hong Kong Island, this is a rabbit thing, and no craftsman master will take it out to publicize it, because they are exposed to too many new things, and the armor-piercing cone is just an accidental gadget.

"Will your five hundred men ride horses?"

"I knew that Brother Tianyou would ask this, and he had to ride it in every day of training, but I only had more than 30 horses, that is, everyone took turns to train on the horse, and the number was seriously insufficient, today I just want to ask Brother Tianyou for a war horse, and it is the best war horse!!"

Zhao Tianyou's mind moved, before the sub-mother cannon was not equipped, this team of five hundred people, equipped with an armor-piercing cone far greater than the enemy's range, if it was skilled immediately, it could really be pulled out to fight the Yuan soldiers in the field.

If there is such a cavalry squad, fighting guerrilla warfare and sneak attack outside the city, facing a small force or not the main force of the Yuan soldiers, it can be said that they can advance and retreat freely, which is equivalent to taking away their greatest advantage from the Mongol cavalry.

Meng Shuirou is such a woman who is as clear as water, but with a brave and resolute heart, Zhao Tianyou is reluctant to let her go into battle to meet the enemy from the bottom of his heart.

"I can give you war horses, you are responsible for training them, but when you go out to fight, you will arrange for others to lead the team, I don't want you to go to the front line!"

Two bright black eyes flashed, a smile appeared on the white face, and the big eyes narrowed into crescents.

"Brother Tianyou still feels sorry for me, I'm so happy! But I want to be your female general, and I will be your woman in the future, how can I not go into battle to kill the enemy? I have dreamed many times that one day, I will become a delicate little woman, sitting next to you, just looking at you quietly, I am so happy! Believe me, God bless the eldest brother, even on the battlefield, I will pay attention to protect myself, how can I die if I haven't been a big brother yet! ”

Zhao Tianyou was stunned for a moment, rarely heard Meng Shuirou's love words say this, and was speechless for a while, so he could only say: "It's not that I won't let you go, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes......"

Meng Shuirou suddenly stepped forward, hugged Zhao Tianyou's broad chest, stood on tiptoe and sent soft and fiery cherry lips, blocking Zhao Tianyou's words back. After a long time, the two separated, and Meng Shuirou, who was already a little confused, blinked, looked at the big hand withdrawn from her arms, her face was as ashamed as a red cloth, and she turned around and escaped out of the door like a rabbit with an arrow.

"Don't forget, Brother God, war horses, the best war horses......"

The beauty left a lingering fragrance, Zhao Tianyou's cheeks were also a little red, and the flame that was suddenly seduced by Meng Shuirou was still hot, if she stayed for a while, I am afraid that Zhao Tianyou would not be able to control her state of mind, and she couldn't help but pick up a gun and get on the horse to be turned red.

With Zhao Tianyou's status and wealth today, it is an exaggeration to say that there are women in their arms every day, but it should not be difficult to build a harem of ten or eight young beauties, and it is still normal in customs and affairs, and it will not be criticized by others at all.

Everyone has desires, as a normal man who has experienced love, control is much more difficult than indulgence, but Zhao Tianyou believes that sleeping with a woman is responsible, and this deep-rooted value plays a big role.

As the power of Hong Kong Island grows stronger day by day, as long as he agrees to Zhang Zhensun's proposal to bring Guangzhou City and the surrounding areas under his jurisdiction, the military strength and population base will be expanded many times at once, and he will even be qualified to raise the banner and claim the title of king.

But Zhao Tianyou didn't want to do that at all in his heart, he didn't want to leave too many traces of himself in this world from the beginning, but with the development of events, gunpowder, cannons, new weapons, etc., the same and the same from the memory in his mind into reality.

Every day the surrounding environment is changing, pushing him to blend in with the world incessantly, and now he has no power or intention to resist change, the only integrity that can be maintained is the values of love and the persistence of guarding himself.

Zhao Tianyou was stunned for a while, and his mind was filled with countless things that needed to be solved, the war horse that Meng Shuirou wanted was a trivial matter, the number of five hundred horses was not very large, and a little squeezing could be satisfied. What makes him most anxious is the demand for warships, and at the moment he can only hope to catch Jiang Gongzi as soon as possible, before the naval war between the two countries in the Yuan and Song dynasties began, Hong Kong Island must form a certain maritime protection capability.

The historical process in my memory has changed, Zhang Shijie did not come to Guangzhou, Zhang Zhensun did not commit suicide because the city was captured, and the Yashan Sea Battle, which lasted for three months in history, I don't know if there is a chance to happen.

Li Heng of Wuzhou has been sending troops for four or five days, but his marching team is very slow, and the scouts who are tracking and monitoring can't understand what the vanguard team of Risong is going to do, marching very late in the morning, burying the pot and cooking just after the afternoon, and drinking and having fun at night, as if they are not out to fight but to play and vacation.

After compiling the information, the information was transmitted to the island by carrier pigeons twice a day in the morning and afternoon, so that Zhao Tianyou, who was on the island of Hong Kong, could also learn about the changes in the military situation in Guangzhou every day, and he was also confused about the marching arrangements of Li Heng's army.

Zhang Zhensun informed the township army and scattered anti-Yuan organizations along the way, asking them to avoid their edge and dodge in time, because they didn't want them to lose their lives with eggs and stones, and with their strength, as long as they cooperated with the fast horse scouts to do a good job of intelligence collection, they had already made great contributions.

However, this time, the troop carrier on Li Heng's waterway was slower than the soldiers escorted on the shore, and it took nearly five days to reach the Zhaoqing area without any hindrance along the way along the gentle flow of the Xijiang River.

"General Xie, you, a waterway inspector, don't patrol the river on your flying boat, what are you trying to do with me! You can't sleep without riding? ”

"You're coming, why should I go on the boat? Fresh fish in the embankment river? ”

Agudamu opened his mouth and laughed at Xie Guoyong, the general on the horse beside him, in fact, his 10,000 iron horsemen also walked listlessly and slowly, escorting the warships in the river along both sides of the Xijiang River, Li Heng's Chinese army ship was in the middle of the fleet, who dared to go fast?

On both sides of the Xijiang River, not to mention that someone came to make trouble and sneak attack, they didn't even see a single hair after walking for a few days, the fishing boats avoided them from afar, the originally lively wharf market along the river was empty, and even the birds and beasts in the wilderness and woods heard the news, and the beasts hid in the deep mountains and woods, and the birds closed their mouths.

The journey was dull and weird, and the high morale of the expedition was worn out little by little!
