Chapter 212: Breaking the Cauldron (I)
There was sea water all around, and the boats were bumpy, making all the troops look extremely ugly.
The northerners rode horses, the southerners sailed boats, this naval army is not said to be established or can be established, just looking at this situation, I am afraid that after disembarking from the ship, there will be no ten days and a half months of rest, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover.
And this is not really sailing in the sea, these boats captured by Wei Tao are not big ships, if they really go to sea, I am afraid that a wave is enough to overturn, and it is more to move along the coastline.
Of course, there is no such thing in this era, but relying on human life and many attempts, a sea route was cleared early.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Youzhou has also not paid attention to the sea area, and even if it drives like this, it will not be noticed by Youzhou.
At this time, in addition to the land south of the Yangtze River, how many sailors are there in the entire Han Dynasty?
Moreover, the so-called water army marched on the river, where would he think of traveling such a distance, and it is no wonder that Yuan Shao could use this to make huge profits in the past.
"Zhao Shui, how much time is left?"
At this time, following Wei Tao's side, that is, Pan Zhang and Yu Ban, others were more or less uncomfortable, but although elite generals such as Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao were not very adaptable, their strength had not decreased much, and having them also made Wei Tao a lot easier.
This Zhao Shui was the handlebar that originally provided the Yuan family with various subsidies to Wu Huan.
Of course, this Zhao Shui has nothing to do with Zhao Yun, even if they are in Jizhou, it is impossible for all people surnamed Zhao to be from Zhaojiazhuang.
At that time, after Wei Tao got the exact news from Yuan Shang's mouth, he directly sent people to capture all the people and boats, and did not give them any time to escape.
As for persuasion or something, there is no need to say more. These handlebars are lowly people. In front of a child of a family like Yuan Shang, it is nothing at all. Naturally, there is no loyalty to the Yuan family.
Or Yuan Shao didn't think about how loyal they were, every time they were sent to Wuhuan, they were escorted by elite soldiers, although there were only two or three people on a boat, but it was enough to deter these ordinary people.
So Wei Tao just went down with one sentence, that is, let all these people surrender.
With the help of these people, it is not very difficult for Wei Tao to sneak directly into Wuhuan's territory by pretending to be in the past, which is why Wei Tao dares to implement this plan like this.
You must know that although Wuhuan and Yuan Shao are related to each other. But whether it is Wuhuan or Yuan Shao, they don't see each other as allies, but businessmen who guard against each other.
What's more, such a transaction can't be ordinary, according to Zhao Shui, it's almost once every six months, and it was still sent once three or four months ago, which is also the reason why Wuhuan was able to suppress the Youzhou army at this time and gain the upper hand.
However, after the war, Wuhuan naturally sent people over, but at this time, Bohai County had fallen into the hands of Wei Tao, and these people did not come back, but let Wei Tao know their communication method. And then the information was transmitted back according to the previous method of communication.
"Will ...... General, there is still half a day at most. And...... And Wuhuan often sends hundreds of people to ......"
That Zhao Shui didn't even dare to breathe in front of Wei Tao, obviously in awe of Wei Tao
"Hundreds? That's just right, too! ”
Wei Tao smiled coldly, this time it was not to transport any goods, except for the necessary weapons, armor, grain and grass, all of them were elite soldiers selected by Wei Tao, a total of 2,000 people.
It's just that it's not easy to transport soldiers, not to mention others, even the main generals like Wei Tao and Dian Wei don't have any horses to ride, so these soldiers are all foot soldiers.
If this was a civil war in the Central Plains, it would be enough for these foot soldiers to make a surprise attack, but on this northern grassland, it is a place where cavalry is crisscrossed, and the mere foot soldiers will soon be swallowed up by Wuhuan.
So the first thing Wei Tao had to do was to find a way to get enough horses, and only then could he compete with Wu Huan.
And those who will be sent to supervise the transportation of these materials, Wei Tao, as long as he thinks about it, can know that I am afraid that it is only soldiers who do not have much strength in the army that will be sent here.
Wuhuan can be different from the Central Plains, for aliens like Wuhuan they often loot wherever they go, and they don't need any logistical support at all, so it is impossible to attach great importance to it like the Central Plains Civil War, especially since it has been very smooth before, and Wuhuan is naturally even more unlikely to suspect it.
At this time, the whole world probably didn't have such awareness, who would have thought that Wei Tao was going to make a detour to raid Wuhuan in such a way.
As for being recognized by Wu Huan, Wei Tao thought it was impossible.
After all, Wuhuan and Yuan Shao's side didn't have much contact, let alone seeing each other in person, at most, they were just wondering why so many ships were coming this time.
After another half a day, you can already see the shore, and if you look closely, you can see a military camp stationed, there are probably hundreds of people coming and going, and as soon as the boat sees a shadow, those people are pouring out of the camp and shouting on the shore.
"What are they talking about?"
Wei Tao frowned slightly, Wu Huan's language Wei Tao was unwilling to spend time studying.
In fact, at this time, the Han Dynasty was the center of this vast area, and the alien races around it were all barbarians, not to mention Wei Tao, even Xun You could not spend any effort on learning the other party's language.
On the other hand, Zhao Shui on the bow of the boat was able to know what they meant because he had dealt with Wuhuan a few times.
"General Qiyu, this is to let us get closer to the past, every time it is like this, when we come, we have to put down the boat and slowly transport it to the shore, those Wuhuan people will never dare to go into the water, so it will take us a lot of time every time."
Maybe it's because it's coming, so Zhao Shui has calmed down, anyway, stretching out his head is a knife and shrinking his head is also a knife, and they have nothing to fear.
"Huh...... These Wuhuan people are also a little clever. ”
Wei Tao smiled coldly, there is no port or anything like that here in Wuhuan, and it is basically impossible to dock a big ship.
Although the ships that arrived were not really big ships, it was extremely difficult to dock at random in these places, and only those small boats were able to get closer to the shore and have a foothold.
"General, why don't we get closer to the past first?"
At this time, Zhao Shui took a step forward and said softly.
"I also have some understanding of Wuhuan, as long as I say that I move them, then it is really not difficult to lead people closer to the past, and the general can also take the opportunity to go ashore at that time, with the general's bravery, it must not take much effort to deal with those Wuhuan people."
"It doesn't have to be this way."
Wei Tao smiled indifferently, and directly rejected this suggestion, not to mention whether this Zhao Shui would be a betrayal, after all, his reputation for hating foreign races was also very widespread, and just such a situation where there was nowhere to go ashore made it impossible for Wei Tao to go ashore with more people at one time.
Coupled with the fact that he came from afar and many soldiers were not adaptable, Wei Tao didn't think it was so easy to win.
Just arrived, he had to lose his soldiers, so how would Wei Tao go in the battle after that?
Wei Tao wanted to break Wuhuan in one fell swoop, instead of coming to his death and letting Wuhuan kill at will.
"Sail! Rush up! ”
Wei Tao's expression froze, and he said coldly.
"What!"
Zhao Shui was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't react for a while.
"Boom!"
Wei Tao didn't have so much time to talk nonsense, so he quickly and directly drew his sword, pointed at Zhao Shui, and said coldly.
"Sail! Rush up! ”
The sword was awe-inspiring, pointing directly at the hearts of the people, but Zhao Shui felt a chill in his heart, and he didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and then ordered according to Wei Tao's instructions to make all the ships sail away.
As the saying goes, the sky also helps, and when the long sail is raised, there is a gust of wind howling, and all the ships are lost to meet the collision at high speed.
Those Wuhuan people were still shouting, even when they saw countless ships swarming towards them, they only felt a sense of strangeness, until the ships approached and still did not slow down in the slightest, and then they became panicked.
"Boom ......"
But at this time, it is not so easy to escape, under the strong wind, the boats are directly rushed ashore, and the roaring sound makes the boats directly damaged, even if Wei Tao ordered everyone to bind themselves early, under this violent impact, everyone was still thrown dizzy.
If we hadn't been prepared, I am afraid that there would have been many casualties.
But the Wuhuan people obviously don't have such good things.
Originally, they were standing on the shore, but they were not far from the water, and when the ships came to attack, they had no time to dodge, and as a result, countless ships rushed up, and under the fierce impact, the Wuhuan people who would not have time to dodge in the future hit a square.
The strength of the wind made the ship rush directly ashore, how strong the force of the collision was, naturally needless to say, hundreds of Wuhuan people were directly killed on the spot, and only the remaining 100 Wuhuan people also fell to the ground one by one, looking in a trance.
Such a sudden blow is really unacceptable to the Wuhuan people.
At this time, Wei Tao cut the rope wrapped around his body, which was to prevent him from being thrown out when he collided with the shore.
Then he drew his sword violently and pointed at those Wuhuan people, and then he gave an order!
"Kill!"
When Wei Tao broke free, the other soldiers who wrapped themselves with ropes to prevent them from being thrown out also did the same, and when they heard Wei Tao's order, they immediately rushed out with Pan Zhang and Yu Ban.
Those Wuhuan people were still stunned one by one in the previous impact, where did they think that in an instant, they encountered Wei Tao's strong charge, and they couldn't resist a few times, and they were all captured by Wei Tao immediately.
At this time, Wei Tao slowly got off the broken ship, and then focused his eyes on the barracks and smiled coldly.
"Wen Jue, Wen Ze, come with me!"
(Thank God?) Ye No Wukong's reward, and thank you for your support, thank you! (To be continued......)
