In May, it rained heavily in Calcutta, but this did not affect the build-up of Amir's army in the slightest.

In the middle of the year, more than 500 large ships arrived at the port of Kolkata, with a strength of more than 30,000 men.

The ships loaded the port of Calcutta with grain, grass and artillery, and at the same time the 300,000 troops mobilized by Amir were also assembled.

On this expedition, the army of the Amir Empire carried hatred and dreams.

This can only be a dream, and they are facing the world's largest military bloc, which has a population of more than 20 million last month.

And the Amir Empire, at the moment, has a population of 8.5 million.

Amir called the 300,000-strong army the Eastern Army, and the commander of the Eastern Army was Amir's most proud general, Shahruq.

This Shah Rukh was single-handedly assigned by Amir, from an unknown civilian, after more than 60 wars, to Amir's right-hand man who defeated the Kushan Empire.

On the day of Shah Rukh's expedition to the east, the weather suddenly became clear, which made the whole army feel very good, thinking that it was a good omen.

Besides, Pang Tong did not stay much after Wen hired, only rested and replenished for one day, and then ordered Wen to lead 100,000 troops and continue to go north, while he and Lei Zi, the commander of the Wuchang Strait Theater, sat in place.

Wenpin went north, and Zhou Yu had already prepared supplies for him along the coast, and when the ship arrived, there would be laborers up and down.

At this time, Sun Quan and Yang Xi temporarily formed an alliance to resist foreign invaders, and Zhou Yu also did his best.

It was replenished twice in Tai County, and Wen Ping went to the base at the mouth of the Irrawaddy River in mid-May, and Ji Ling was already waiting.

The two had never met before, but they had heard of each other's reputations. Ji Ling is a veteran under Yuan Shu, Wen is a newcomer, and Pang Tong has an order, although there are more soldiers and horses in this battle, but Ji Ling is the main one, and Wen is supplemented.

Pang Tong considered that Ji Ling had taken root here after all, and he was extremely familiar with the terrain and other aspects.

As a junior, although he is also a general, Wen Ping lowered himself by one rank, discussed with Ji Ling, and studied the tips given by Yang Xi with Ji Ling.

Ji Ling said: "Childe has a strategy in this, but it can be applied in my Irrawaddy war zone, could it be that Gongzi has been here and can't do it, how can he be so familiar?" ”

"How could Childe have been here, he was born before, and the time is almost counted." Wen Ping was half-joking.

But he was right.

As a former special forces, Yang Xi has conducted survival training in Savage Mountain, and has surrounded and suppressed drug dealers in the Mekong River and Lancang River, so he is extremely familiar with the situation here.

Ji Ling shook his head and said, "Childe is a pedantic celestial, and naturally he can think of it in any situation. Then how about you and I follow Childe's strategy? ”

Wen Ping nodded in agreement, and at the same time put forward some specific opinions, and the two began to plan the arrangement on the sand table.

Ji Ling had already made a general impression of the basic situation of the Irrawaddy River Basin, the highlands, valleys, rivers, and mountains were all numbered, and the small flags on the sand table were clearly numbered.

According to the Han calendar, this time should be May 27, and the Amir Empire naturally has its own set of calculation methods, but it does not matter here.

On this day, the Andaman Sea was calm, but hundreds of large ships appeared on the sea.

This big ship is naturally the fleet of the Eastern Army of Sha Rukh, the great general of the Amir Empire.

As a veteran, Shah Rukh naturally did not make any mistakes, and he first set the fleet in the Andaman Sea, twenty or thirty kilometers from the coast, and ordered a ship to dock first to investigate and find a landing site.

With a long coastline, it is impossible for Ji Ling and the Wenpin army to defend every place.

They only arranged Huya at various points, and as for the location of the cantonment of the army, it was naturally in the base at the mouth of the Irrawaddy River.

A hundred kilometers west of the base of the estuary, there is a bay where dozens of large ships are stationed, and in the jungle on the shore, there is smoke recently, and at least 40,000 or 50,000 people are stationed here.

This is a newly opened army garrison base, and Ji Ling himself is in charge of it at this moment.

On 29 May, Huang Jie, commander of the 1st Huya Battalion, sent back news that the enemy had discovered a reconnaissance unit.

To be honest, Ji Ling was a little nervous.

This is not when he was a general under Yuan Shu, he would lead 10,000 or 20,000 people to fight at most.

What Ji Ling used this time was the strategy provided by Yang Xi to lure the enemy into depth, and ordered the army to operate near the bay here for a few days, creating the illusion that the army was stationed here.

When the other army comes, they will abandon this place, and Amir will divide his troops to pursue, as long as the other party penetrates deep into the interior, he can use the weapon of killing.

Sure enough, the day later, Shah Rukh received the news back.

The exploration team detected the traces of more than 50,000 marching troops, and even found the approximate location of the enemy's garrison.

Shah Rukh resolutely gave the order, and the whole army attacked.

On the first day of the first month of June, Shahuk's troops were divided into two routes, one was the landing of 100,000 troops, and the other was the attack of hundreds of fleets, heading straight to the bay, trying to block Ji Ling in the bay and catch turtles in the urn.

Hundreds of huge ships were mighty, Chen at the entrance of the bay, Shah Rukh was overjoyed, the other party's ships were already in sight, and there was not the slightest movement.

Shah Rukh ordered the whole army to advance, and suddenly the drums in front shook the sky, but it was the other party who finally discovered the movement, and what made Shah Rukh speechless was that the other party's ships did not move at all, but vaguely saw the movement of military horses on the shore.

These military horses, not to resist, but to flee!

Only a few shells were fired from the batteries placed on the shore, and when Shah Rukh ordered the ship's artillery to return fire, the enemy disappeared immediately.

In fact, Shah Rukh didn't know that Ji Ling had ordered the army to withdraw earlier, and there were only thousands of soldiers and horses left here, thinking that they were suspicious.

Shah Rukh swooped into the harbor and, without a single soldier, obtained fifty ships, all of which were well equipped and scattered on the deck, but all the men ran away.

The 100,000-strong army that landed was led by Salman, the general of Shahrukh, and when Salman arrived at the base, there was no longer half a figure, only the army fled north, messy footprints and messy plants.

All this proves that it is not fighting against the air, everything is true.

"General Salman! There are few enemy troops, only tens of thousands of people, and they must have seen that there are many of our troops, so they fled, and asked General Salman to lead his troops north, pursue the enemy army, and be sure to annihilate them all! ”

"Command!"

Salman gave a military salute and received the order in English.

Huang Jian had already investigated the situation from afar, and reported the situation of Salman traveling lightly and only bringing three days of dry food per person to Ji Ling.

Ji Ling calculated the distance and continued to lead the army north.

After chasing like this for two days, Salman was also a little anxious, but it seemed that he was getting closer and closer to the traces of cooking left by the other party.

Ji Ling ordered people to occasionally throw one or two carts of grain and flour on the mountain road, and some even deliberately spilled them on the ground, creating the illusion of eagerly fleeing and not leaving food for the enemy army.

Salman ordered the men to collect the grain they had gathered along the road, bury the pot to make rice, and cook some dough for them to eat. The flour was so good that Salman's army ate it and saw nothing out of the ordinary.

Another day, Salman pursued to a valley, where he saw what appeared to be some wooden houses, with wooden fences and some fortifications outside them.

Salman shook his head, this Han army was so unbearable that it lost two bases in a row.

Salman ordered the army to enter the base and search for any equipment and food left by the Han army.

Ten minutes later, Salman was overjoyed to find the other party's granary at this base, and he was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow.

So Salman ordered an army of 3,000 men to be on guard, and the rest of the horses to enter the base to rest.
