Chapter 723: The Sound of the Blue Sea (2)

On Lianshan Island, Deng Peng left all the sailors and marines, Zheng Zhiyuan went to sea and took half of them, and now the remaining more than 5,000 people are the main forces guarding Lianshan Island. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info after discovering the traces of the opponent, Black Eagle and Zheng Zhiqiang jointly made a decision, giving up all the islands except Lianshan Island, and moving all the materials on the island back to Lianshan Island, after the troops distributed on these islands returned, the number of troops on the island increased to more than 7,000 people, and after the king of Zhou left, tens of thousands of remnants of the original Zhou Dynasty who were stranded on Lianshan Island were also assigned to the two of them as logistics envoys.

In Zheng Zhiqiang's words, there can not be an idler on Lianshan Island at this time, and everyone has to fight for their own lives.

When the two of them knew that the general of the Southern Army who attacked this time was the old opponent Zhong Xiang the next day, they both laughed, the first glory of the Dingzhou Naval Division was built on this Zhong Xiang, the Dingzhou Naval Division sent a weak force to annihilate the Bozhou Naval Division, and the Bozhou Naval Division was wiped out except for Zhong Xiang, and even Zhong Xiang's son Zhong Li was also killed in this battle.

It can be said that Zhong Xiang and the Dingzhou Sailor have a deep enmity like the sea, he has witnessed the rise of the Dingzhou Sailor with his own half-life reputation, coupled with the revenge of killing the son, this time he has a more superior force, and the momentum is surging, and he can also think with his toes how cruel the next war will be.

"This old boy hasn't suffered enough yet!" Zheng Zhiqiang smiled, "Black Eagle, the time has come for us to be famous all over the world!" ”

"Give the old boy another hard lesson, it's best, don't let him run away again this time!" Black Hawk stroked the eagle on his arm and said with a smile. "General Zheng, I'm leaving!"

Zheng Zhiqiang arched his hand, "Black Eagle, as soon as you get out of the water, I won't be able to whip up, and I can't fly anywhere if I have any ideas, take care!" If you have been there, you can reduce some of our pressure, and don't act rashly for a while! ”

Black Eagle was a little moved and nodded, "Don't worry, you know that I am cowardly, and when I see that the situation is not good, I must have pulled my feet and ran!" You have to resist it here, my new concubine and the doll in her belly will be handed over to you, if you are gone, I really have no way out, I can only travel across the ocean and go to Taiwan Island to fight the autumn breeze! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, Black Hawk raised his arms, the eagle on his shoulder spread his wings, circled in the air, and landed on a battleship on the dock, Black Eagle clenched his fists, "General Zheng, see you after victory!" ”

"See you after victory!"

"Take care!"

"Take care!"

On the dock, more than a dozen 3,000-material warships pulled anchor and slowly sailed away, while in front of and behind them, the clan hugged dozens of thousand-material warships, leaving Lianshan Island and sailing into the distance.

It wasn't until the last trace of sail shadow disappeared on the horizon that Zheng Zhiqiang turned back.

"Summons all the officers above the rank of lieutenant of Zhenwu, as well as the officials in charge of logistics, to the council hall to discuss the matter!"

The fortifications of Lianshan Island have already been completed, and now they only need to defend step by step, but without the cooperation of the sailors, they can only defend passively, and cannot take the initiative to attack, the opponent wants to attack, and if they don't want to attack, they will retreat, and there is no way on the island. The only thing you can rely on is the island's sharp long-range weapons and the Marines' formidable combat capabilities. But on the island in the distance, the isolation and helplessness will affect the morale of the soldiers to a certain extent, especially today, when the last sailors also sailed away, I am afraid that many soldiers are already muttering in their hearts, if it were not for the strict military discipline in Dingzhou, if it was replaced by another army, the morale of the army would immediately be dissipated.

Zheng Zhiqiang needs to unify his thinking and let all the officers know that there is only one way for them to go, and that is to fight to the end until the final victory comes.

On the vast sea, a huge fleet appeared on the sea, the fluttering flag of the Southern Army Naval Division and the bell flag explained their affiliation, for this seaway, Zhong Xiang is also familiar with the way, at this moment to re-embark on this waterway, the fiasco a few years ago, that fire, seems to still be vivid.

"Li'er, I'll avenge you!" Zhong Xiang said in his heart. The fiasco a few years ago, the sadness of the white-haired people sending the black-haired people, is that Zhong Xiang ages quickly, a person who is less than fifty years old, but he looks like he is over sixty, and his hair is already completely white. The battle back then, of course, had the other party as cunning as a fox, but to a large extent, it also had a lot to do with his contempt for the other party, and this time, Zhong Xiang was confident that he would never make this mistake again, and he had raised the opponent to a higher level.

"Return to General Zhong!" A lieutenant walked into the main cabin of the Bozhou, which was 5,000 materials, and reported loudly to Zhong Xiang, who was leaning over to look at the map, "The sentinel ship has sent a signal, this place is still a hundred miles away from Lianshan Island, and the opposing ship has not been found!" ”

Zhong Xiang nodded, his hand on the map a little heavier, "Send a signal to the fleet, the second battalion of the first battalion of the naval division will turn left thirty degrees, and go to attack Lantau Island and Xiaoyu Island first!" The rest of the ships followed me to attack the volcanic island. ”

"Yes!" The lieutenant replied loudly and turned away.

"Pull out your wings first, then attack your core!" Zhong Xiang looked at the map and marked the offshore islands occupied by the Dingzhou Navy Division one by one, "Everywhere you go, you will be oppressed by the power of thunder, so that you will not be able to parry." ”

Now Zhong Xiang does have such confidence, the fleet carries more than 10,000 marine troops, which is the Southern Army modeled on the Dingzhou Naval Division, and Dingzhou, is also the most elite soldiers of the whole army to form a formation, combat effectiveness is amazing, plus his own sailors, the number is more than 50,000, and on Lianshan Island, after Deng Peng draws all the main force, how many soldiers can fight is a problem.

The huge fleet was divided into two, one heading towards the islands and the other heading towards the volcanic islands.

Departing in the morning and arriving at the sea area of the volcanic island at ten o'clock in the evening, at this time, the sun is sinking in the west, and the volcanic island dyed with a layer of golden light is like a golden monster, lying quietly on the sea, without any movement. It seems that he did not see this huge fleet approaching.

Zhong Xiang stood on the third deck of the Bozhou, holding the side of the ship with both hands, watching his vanguard sentinel ship launch a tentative long-range attack, and then began to rush to land.

Until the soldiers who robbed the stall landed on the beach and rushed over the embankment, there was still no movement on the shore, and Zhong Xiang immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when the vanguard fleet approached the shore, a large number of marines rushed to the volcanic rock island, and continued to advance forward, Zhong Xiang knew that there was no one here, and the opponent took the initiative to abandon these islands.

The opponent is indeed very smart, survived with a broken arm, and concentrated all the army supplies to Lianshan Island, but what is the use of this? Zhong Xiang sneered, just let himself spend some more time.

"When we landed on the island, we took the volcanic rock island as our base camp. Use this as a base to attack Lianshan Island! Zhong Xiang turned around and entered the cabin.

On the volcanic rock island, some of the forts originally built are intact, and the long embankment circles the island, which protects the entire island extremely tightly, except for not seeing a single person, there is no trace of destruction on the volcanic rock island, but it seems that the opponent did it intentionally.

"General Zhong, what do you mean by this, opponent?" Hu Bin, the commander of the Third Water Division, looked at all this in front of him extremely strangely, "If the opponent takes the initiative to retreat, these facilities should be destroyed!" ”

Zhong Xiang's face was ugly, Hu Bin didn't understand, but he understood what the opponent meant, the opponent didn't look at them at all, these fortresses are placed here, and they are not afraid of your use at all, that is to say, in this battle, the opponent has the confidence to win, and firmly believes that they will not stay here for long, so they are reluctant to destroy these facilities that they have spent a lot of money to build at a glance.

"I'll make you regret it!" Zhong Xiang exhaled a breath of turbidity.

As Zhong Xiang expected, the next day, the first battalion and the second battalion sailors returned, and on the island of Xiaoyu, they also pounced, and there was not even a ghost shadow there.

Summoning the commanders of the four sailor battalions and the generals of the two marine battalions to the volcanic rock island, Zhong Xiang began to arrange the next combat mission, the other party has already selected the battlefield, so it is up to him to choose when to fight.

"I won't talk about the importance of the geographical location of Lianshan Island, which is why General Pang sent us here when he needed the strength of the water division so much. He is like a shackle, firmly clasped on our throats, if we don't take him, His Royal Highness King Ning will not know the taste of food and will not be able to sleep. ”

"But generals, the people of Dingzhou have been operating Lianshan Island for a long time, and the defense of Lianshan Island is extraordinary, although we have a great advantage in strength and mobility, but to defeat Lianshan Island, it will definitely be a bloody battle!"

Clapping his hands, a group of soldiers brought a large sand table, and many generals couldn't help but exclaim, this is the model around Lianshan Island, but it is several times larger than the ordinary model.

Putting the sand table in the center, Zhong Xiang said in a deep voice: "Everyone, a few years ago, I was defeated on Lianshan Island by the hands of Zheng Zhiyuan, the thief general of Dingzhou, and the Bozhou Naval Division was wiped out, and my son Zhongli also died in this battle. Speaking of this, his voice choked, but he immediately raised his head, "After this battle, I couldn't sleep at night, thinking day and night about how to attack Lianshan Island again, over the years, I have made this sand table according to the information I have collected, everyone please come and see!" ”

"Lianshan Island has excellent geographical conditions, surrounded by the sea on three sides, one cliff and one side of the cliff, on three sides of the sea, the opponent has built a wave-proof embankment, and the fortress is as dense as a beehive, and we will pay great casualties if we attack it head-on. I think everyone is also very clear that the range of long-range weapons such as trebuchets and eight-ox crossbows made in Dingzhou is much farther and more powerful than those made by our army. ”

"Moreover, the stone cannons and crossbow arrows on our ships are weaker, so if we want to win, in addition to paying great sacrifices, we have to think of other ways!"

Hu Bin groaned: "General Zhong, do you want to make up your mind on this side?" He pointed to the only cliff.

(I have a cold, my nose has a long run, and I am very uncomfortable and annoyed~!) ）
