"Dutou, where do you say we are going by boat, it doesn't seem to be the rumored Wa Kingdom!"

"That's right, Dutou, our 100,000 army has been on that broken island for nearly half a year, and we haven't caught anything. After you go back, how can you explain it to your family? ”

In this kind of conversation, in more than 200 ships and more than 1,000 cabins, there are countless soldiers asking their commanders the answer to this question that makes people answer and think clearly.

The big ship of this time and space is indeed a behemoth in the eyes of these soldiers, but in Cai Dao's eyes, it is not enough to see at all. This kind of large-scale transport ship, which was only five or six hundred tons, could transport a team of 1,000 people at most, as well as the weapons, provisions, and other materials they needed.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of these 100,000 elite troops, Cai Dao repeatedly instructed Cai Sansi to let him transport the first batch of 100,000 forbidden army soldiers, a lucky ship could only transport a team of 500 people, that is, the men and horses of the first battalion of the Song army!

100,000 soldiers of the Standing Forbidden Army only need 200 Fu boats, but the remaining nearly 800 Fu ships are carrying 200,000 construction workers and construction materials.

It's no wonder that these 100,000 standing forbidden troops complained, after they went to sea in a hurry, they didn't expect to be thrown on the projectile path called Tamna, and the commander of these 100,000 people was still led by the Black God himself.

The three commanders of the three yas, in fact, Cao Hu is the most popular, but in addition to being the most courageous, this guy's ability in military strategy may not even be as good as that of ordinary battalion commanders.

Dian, Cai Dao is no longer assured of his military ability, and if he stays in the capital, he will not be able to turn the sky.

Then the only elite person who can command these 100,000 people is Pan Xiong.

Compared with Cao Hu and Dian, Pan Xiong's status is much lower, and among the three, he is also the youngest, becoming one of the highest officials of the Sanya before the age of thirty-five.

But since Pan Xiong returned from the Southern Expeditionary Army, he always has a straight face when he leads the troops. Moreover, he was strict in his army, and when he marched, from the pace of each soldier to the encampment, the soldiers had to meet the standards he had set down under his almost strict requirements. Therefore, whenever he encounters him leading the team to practice in the forbidden army, he will complain bitterly.

This time, Pan Xiong personally led the team to camp on Tamna Island, eating a full meal every day, and being able to eat a pound of pork a day, and the amount of fish was unlimited. But even so, none of the 100,000 soldiers of the Standing Forbidden Army could eat fat.

The endless daily cultivation alone had already drained the physical strength of these soldiers.

Where there is oppression, there is naturally resistance.

The soldiers at the bottom are accustomed to it, as long as they are fed and can eat fragrant fatty pork for a day, they already feel very happy. At most, a few good fellow villagers gathered together and complained in private.

But those middle- and low-level officers who were mixed in the forbidden army and wanted to come to gild would not do it.

They're all officers! Why train with those big soldiers? But they completely forgot that when Pan Xiong was demanding other people, he was also strict with himself.

Cai Dao once said to the Southern Expeditionary Army was deeply engraved in his heart - 'sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime'.

The task assigned to him by Cai Dao this time is not only very critical, but it can be expected that the casualties of the 100,000 forbidden army soldiers under them will definitely be very large.

Pan Xiong knew that from the day they arrived on Tamna Island, the more rigorous he trained on the island, the more likely it was that his forbidden army would survive.

When these middle- and low-level officers were clamoring in the army, Pan Xiong immediately sent his own janitorial guards, and the name was the same as Cai Dao's personal guard - the gendarmerie, and all these officers who dared to fan the barracks were wiped out.

In front of all the officers and men of the army, Pan Xiong personally ordered someone to behead the commander of the largest official position among the arrested officers.

This calmed down the controversy.

The other officers also chose to remain silent and work against Pan Xiong, which is the only thing that fools can do.

Cai Taishi sent him here, and there are very few people who know what the purpose is, but one thing is certain, Pan Xiong is the henchman of Cai Taishi, even if Pan Xiong kills his guard, the deputy commander of the infantry army, Cai Dao will also find a reason to exonerate him.

Of course, the current two guards and deputy commanders of the infantry army stayed in Lijing, so they would not go to sea with Pan Xiong to endure hardships.

Until a few days ago, when the sea thawed, many large ships loaded all the 100,000 soldiers on board. But some careful soldiers realized that the direction in which these ships were heading was not east, but due west.

Most of them don't know where they're going.

But Pan Xiong's heart was also very uneasy at the moment.

The task given to him by Cai Dao is very clear, but he also has the flexibility and room for maneuver of Kenda.

In the face of the Liao Iron Cavalry, a strong enemy of the Great Song State in the past, Pan Xiong will inevitably have some gains and losses.

The first and crucial step in the strategic plan formulated by Cai Dao was also the first stop for Pan Xiong to personally lead more than 100,000. Therefore, he had to successfully complete this first step.

The target is none other than Yuguan Guancheng.

Since the entire Yanjing has indeed belonged to the Liao State for nearly a hundred years, there are not many Liao troops stationed here, and after hundreds of years, this Guancheng has become in disrepair.

It's very easy to attack.

There was no land and water wharf suitable for landing outside Shanhaiguan, so Cai Dao had a wooden wharf built out of giant logs in advance, and its important role was not to transport soldiers and construction workers, but to transport construction materials and carts. Fortunately, the big ship prepared a bad light boat in advance, so that these soldiers and construction workers did not swim to the shore.

Pan Xiong attacked Yuguan in the middle of the night.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Pan Xiong brought his elite guards, so that night, Yuguan Guancheng changed hands. What's more, the Liao soldiers guarding here, whether Han or Khitan, were all killed, and not even one of them escaped from Guancheng.

Therefore, when Pan Xiong delivered the news of the victory to the seaside, Cai Sansi finally transported the 100,000 soldiers of the Standing Forbidden Army to the shore, and after that, the seafarers of the Cai family spent another three days transporting the construction materials and 200,000 construction workers to the coast.

After that, Cai Sansi led this regiment to leave the coast of Yuguan and sail towards Mizhou.
