Chapter 587: One Hundred Secrets!
No matter what the chaos of this world has become, it will not affect Wuda. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today's Wuhan University and his party are ignoring what is happening outside the window, and they are only dedicated to going to the Japanese country!
As time passed, the season had come to the beginning of February 1126 AD.
The crusade against the Wa Kingdom was a long-planned plan of Wuda, and he had made sufficient preparations, in fact, everything was indeed as he expected, and on the whole it was going very smoothly.
Zhang Shun in the waves, because he set off more than half a month in advance, his movements were very fast, and he intermittently poured a lot of fierce fire oil on the ice along the way, every 150 miles, which was to facilitate the passage of the giant ship of the Yanyun Sailors, and it was calculated according to the speed of the giant ship.
Although there were some minor mistakes in between, those little episodes were harmless.
However, as the old saying goes, the plan can never catch up with the rapid change, not to mention that the so-called wise man has a thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, Wu Da has a thousand calculations, and the only thing he missed is one thing, that is, the food and grass supply that he pays the least attention to on this trip.
The resources of the sea are rich and colorful, and there is never a shortage of food, so Wuda did not pay much attention to this part from the beginning, and the food supply of the brothers did not go wrong, and the problem was the war horse.
The huge ships of the Yanyun Naval Division, each of which can carry more than 500 sergeants in addition to the sailors of the Yanyun Naval Division, in other words, twenty giant ships can carry 10,000 people at one time.
On this trip, Wuhan University brought 100 Wufu generals to protect the courtyard, 1,000 iron-blooded thirteen eagles, 130 elites of the Flying Tiger Brigade, 5,000 elites composed of the five major governors' personal battalions, 500 people from the Red Feather Battalion, 200 elites from the Spider Web and Black Crows, and 1,000 people from the Dongguo Taixun Dagong Battalion, totaling absolutely less than 10,000 horses.
And the biggest problem lies in the war horse.
The bilge of each giant ship carries 100 war horses, a total of more than 2,000, and the reason why they are carried separately is to avoid the danger of the giant ship and the inability to rescue.
This point, Wuhan University expected to be very thorough.
However, he forgot after all that the sea is indeed rich in supplies, and the brothers do not go hungry, but what about the war horses? What do war horses eat? Is it possible to eat seafood like a human being? Has anyone ever seen a war horse eat meat and seafood? This is a ridiculous joke!
Then the problem comes, on the huge ship, there is no shortage of weapons and armor, no shortage of fierce fire oil, earth-shaking thunder, and even no shortage of dried meat, except for the lack of forage for horses.
This is going to kill Wuda!
On the sea, where to find fodder for the war horses? No matter how powerful Wuda is, it can't create something out of nothing and conjure up forage out of thin air, right?
In desperation, Wuda could only order the brother of Yanyun Shui Shi to tie the rope to the spear hook and salvage seaweed and other marine plants along the way.
"Seaweed" is a general term for marine algae such as kelp, seaweed, wakame, and cauliflower, which are algae that grow in the sea.
However, this part of the seaweed plants only grows in shallow water, so the salvaged seaweed plants are still extremely rare, at least for a thousand war horses, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket after all.
Moreover, the previous war horses were all carefully selected, all of them were war horses equipped with the Thirteen Eagles, and they ate good forage on weekdays, but suddenly changed to this seaweed, and the war horses basically didn't eat it.
What made Wu Da most helpless was that the brothers who were traveling with him were just the other Twenty Route Army scattered everywhere, how could their war horses get supplies?
Moreover, don't forget, it is inevitable that walking on the ice in a large area will break the ice, and the twenty-way army, the brothers on each road are scattered extremely sparsely, which increases the difficulty of the brothers to obtain war horse forage in disguise.
Could it be that the crusade against the Japanese state is going to end without a problem? There is no way, Wuda can only let the brothers of the spider web get off the boat, contact the other 20 route armies, let the brothers work hard, and be self-reliant, if there is really no way, then send someone back to Yanyun to spread the word and transport the forage again.
Time waits for no one, the coldest time in the Wa Kingdom is only 1 or 2 months, and if you miss this time, if you want to surprise the Wa Kingdom again, you need to wait at least another year.
And if you abandon the war horse and directly force the attack on the Japanese state, it will be more than worth the loss, without the war horse, the brothers have all become infantry, and they will not be able to maintain mobility, and they will not be able to use the minimum loss to kill and injure the enemy to the maximum, they can only fight hard, and that kind of situation is definitely not what Wuda wants to see.
……
A few days later, there were some snowflakes floating in the sky, and Wu Dazheng was sitting at the stern of the boat bored...... Fishing.
How many people are wearing cotton clothes, wrapping up and down, facing the cold north wind, fishing? Don't believe it, Wuda really did it.
There's no way, it's too boring to sail at sea, you can only have fun for yourself, not to mention, I'm used to fishing in this environment, that sour feeling...... It's really an incomparable ecstasy.
Watching the snow and cooking wine, the pride of thousands of miles, the chic singing, tasting the spirits, and the crazy songs, it is really a unique flavor.
The most important thing is that although Wuda can't fish and is a fishing idiot, on the sea, he lets him show his skills!
The reason is very simple, there are too many fish in the deep sea this year, and they have never been caught at all, let alone fishing, Wuda hung the bait casually and threw it down, and after a while, there were naturally fish biting the hook, and Wuda also showed off his stinky appearance, saying how powerful his fishing was, so that Zhang Liang and others were full of black lines.
It's the same today, Zhang Liang couldn't stand Wuda's nonsense, and ran into the cabin to warm up, out of sight.
The fish bit the hook, Wu Da squinted, lifted the fishing rod with his hand, shook it slightly, threw the fish out of the sea, grabbed it in his hand, took off the hook, looked compassionate, threw the fish into the sea again, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Amitabha, God has the virtue of a good life, Brother Yu, you have become a fine in five hundred years, remember that my brother spared your life......"
After doing a good deed, his mood was naturally comfortable, Wu Da reached out and touched the wine jug and took a sip, and his shoulders suddenly sank.
It was the horse named "Laifu" of Wuda, who knelt on the board of the boat shamelessly, leaned the horse's head on the shoulder of Wuda, snorted, neighed, and seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Wuda.
What kind of bird does someone play, the horse of Wuda is about to become a fine, not only will sit down, but also like to drink, it was okay, Wuda took a sip of it, this time Wuda is obviously shameless, he drank three sips in a row, Laifu is naturally not happy, and is expressing his dissatisfaction.
Wu Da was helpless, poured the hot wine into the basin, and invited Laifu to drink it.
Rifle stuck out his tongue and drank the hot wine from his plate.
Today, a blessing seems to have drunk a little too much, drunk, lying on the ground, with four paws facing the sky, starting to spread joy, and then pretending to be dead, the painting style is too beautiful, I can't bear to look at it.
Wu Gang, who came to report the intelligence, twitched his old face, held back the smile in his heart, and said in a deep voice:
"Boss, the brother of the spider web has sent the information back."
