Chapter 526: Distress at Sea

During the days when there was no war and waited for each other, China and Japan were not idle, each was busy reorganizing its armaments for war, busy spying on each other's intelligence, and then carefully preparing for the upcoming big war.

Both sides know that this battle will eventually come, and this battle will determine the final victory.

Therefore, neither of the two sides can afford to lose this battle.

After receiving Huang Xu's order, Luo Bingzhang immediately led the invincible fleet to the junction of Liaodong and Chaobei Province, and the navy wanted to transport the 200,000 troops of the First Army to Japan as much as possible, in order to speed up the progress of the attack on Tokyo.

If the best time to launch an attack is delayed, the Taiping army may have to pay a greater price, so Luo Bingzhang urged the Invincible Armada to speed up.

After several days of rapid sailing, the Armada crossed the Sea of Japan, crossed the Korean Strait, and after entering the Yalu River, sailed towards the coastline of the Chinese Empire, and finally, the Invincible Fleet anchored at the port of Dandong in Liaodong.

The port of Dandong in Liaodong was the destination of the Armada's trip.

The reason why the invincible ship should be stationed here is because Dandong Port is only more than thirty miles away from the station of the First Army, and it can be reached in the blink of an eye.

After arranging the Invincible Armada properly, Luo Bingzhang rushed to the station of the First Army with Huang Xu's will to convey Huang Xu's message.

Of course, Cui Min, the commander of the First Legion, had already learned the news, and he led the generals to wait for Luo Bingzhang at the station.

When the two old acquaintances met, it was inevitable to be polite, and after that, Luo Bingzhang directly expressed his intention and immediately conveyed Huang Xu's message to Cui Min.

Cui Min accepted the order respectfully, and then prepared to have a banquet for Luo Bingzhang. But Luo Bingzhang refused.

According to Luo Bingzhang's meaning, time is urgent, and they have no extra time to do other things, if they want to drink, it is not too late to drink after the capture of Tokyo, and then it will be time. No matter how much he drank, Luo Bingzhang was willing to accompany him, and now, it was imperative that they send the 1st Legion to Nagoya to join the 10th Legion.

And Cui Min saw that Luo Bingzhang was so knowledgeable and important, and while expressing his admiration, he reported good news to Luo Bingzhang.

All the officers and men of the 1st Army were ready, and the local defense was handed over to the 2nd Army. So, their first legion is ready to be drawn at any time.

is indeed good news, after Luo Bingzhang heard it, he praised Cui Min and said that he was a good ruler of the army.

After a few words of modesty, Cui Min ordered the army to gather and rush to Dandong Port.

All of a sudden, on the official road between Dandong Port and the Tenth Army. It was a burst of iron hooves, and flags were flying. The army boarded the ship in high spirits and prepared to sail for Japan.

It took almost a few hours for the 200,000 troops of the First Legion to board the ship.

Then, Luo Bingzhang gave an order, and the Invincible Armada lifted anchor and set sail. Carrying the soldiers of the 1st Army to Tokyo.

The Armada headed all the way to the east, advancing at breakneck speed.

At this time, the sky was excellent, the sky was clear, the breeze was blowing, and everyone was shouting for comfort at the same time. He also gradually looked forward to the prospect of a sure victory over the Japanese army this time.

Because, they have just gone out and already encountered good weather, and good weather is a good sign.

The officers and men of the Armada and the First Legion were in a good mood.

However, as the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and these blessings and misfortunes always depend on each other, and they can't be separated if they want to.

It is a good thing to see, but it may end in endless evil, and there are many examples of joy and sorrow, so sometimes, it is not a bad thing to have a sense of reverence.

In any case, the Armada carried the army at great speed.

They had not been hindered in the slightest way, and in less than three days they had already covered a fraction of the distance, which was at least a quarter faster than usual.

If they continued at this rate, they might be able to land at the pre-detected port not far from Nagoya in less than a week, where Huang Xu had already sent someone to pick them up.

If they were to go along with each other, they would actually take about a third of the time they had originally planned.

It seems that the officers and men of the Invincible Armada and the First Army are really anxious enough.

Again, this part of their journey seems to be a secretive affair.

Sometimes, however, it backfires.

Accidents really happened at this time.

The Armada encountered very bad weather.

When sailing on the sea, the most feared thing is bad sea conditions and bad weather.

And now, they have both, and it is the bad weather that has caused the bad sea conditions, and the disaster of the Armada has come unexpectedly.

Looking around, the weather gradually darkened, the wind slowly rose, and the surrounding qiē gave people a feeling of darkness.

It's really a mountain rain coming and the wind is full of buildings!

No, as soon as we talked about rain, the rain came.

With the stronger and stronger winds, the downpour came.

The rain takes advantage of the wind, and the wind takes advantage of the rain, echoing each other and coming violently.

And the thunder and lightning at this time added fuel to the fire, followed by the lightning that lit up the sky was the thunder that resounded through the sky, and the thunder roared, as if ringing in the ears, making people have a chilling feeling.

At this time, the sky was already dark and dreary, and there was really nothing worse than this, and there was really nothing worse than this.

Perhaps in this dark space, the only thing that makes people feel at ease is the flash of lightning that sometimes crosses the air, but the lightning that follows it is a shuddering thunder.

The world is so impermanent and contradictory.

At the moment when the sky shook and the sea shook, the huge warship swayed left and right in the storm, and most of the officers and men on board were overturned on the deck, while the people in the cabin were shaken to the ground, and some of them could not stand on their feet and fell to the ground.

The scene on the warship looks a bit chaotic.

And Luo Bingzhang and Cui Min, who were on the flagship, didn't know the situation of the army at all, they could only open their voices and shout loudly, they tried their best to let the army not panic and wait for the wind and rain to leave, because they knew that this bad weather would definitely not last long, and the wind and rain would always pass.

However, only God knows what the effect of the shouting will be, because most of their shouts have been swallowed up by the bad weather, and it is impossible for them to reach the ears of the soldiers.

Perhaps, at this time, no matter what you do, it will be in vain, and the only thing you can do is to hold on to your heart and wait for the weather to clear.

The Taiping army has always been well-trained and psychologically excellent, and the general wind and waves can't help them at all, so despite the adversity at this time, they are still indomitable.

Moreover, everyone knows in their hearts that as long as they bear this wave of wind and rain, then they will definitely see a rainbow.

In this way, all the soldiers of the Taiping Army fought with the sky and themselves, no matter how the sea and the sky changed, they always clung to the obsession in their hearts, and they believed that man would win the day.

All the soldiers of the Taiping Army persevered in the wind and rain...

While the wind was still blowing, the rain was still falling, the thunder was still ringing, and the lightning was still lighting up the distant sky, and the good weather still seemed to be quite far away from the Taiping army.

It is still unknown whether the Taiping army will finally break through this hurdle.

Therefore, sometimes, faith is important, but luck is more important, whether you can get out of this darkness, and then meet the light in the distance, depends on the luck of the Taiping army. (To be continued......)
