But the military minister would never have imagined that when he was in high spirits. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

An unprecedentedly large fleet had approached the port of Quanzhou, led by fifteen ships full of soldiers and equipment.

This is a transport fleet composed of the Han Korean fleet, the Andong fleet, and the Wonhae whaling fleet.

In the following day, this fleet sent the troops of three full-fledged reinforced captains and two other commanders of the Guardian Army, as well as a cavalry lieutenant from Korea, to the docks in Quanzhou.

The sight of more than 5,000 soldiers rushing down from the ship shocked all the residents of Quanzhou.

They had never seen anything like it:

Hundreds of huge ships, along the harbor and nearby beaches, docked one after another, laying down ladders and planks for landing.

Then, rows of Han soldiers, lined up in a neat queue, disembarked in an orderly manner.

After landing, the troops immediately began to form a team, and then assembled into combat units.

And at the same time, a large amount of equipment, unloaded from the dock.

Bows, crossbows, swords, and halberds are neatly stacked all over the docks.

Countless leather armors were packed in large boxes.

There were also thousands of Mo knives that flashed with cold light, and only the field troops of the Han army could be equipped were lifted down.

Millions of arrows were piled up on the docks.

Han Anguo stepped down from the boat, stepped on the land of the northern country with riding boots, and took a deep breath of the long-lost Chinese air, his face showing a trace of excitement.

After five years of assisting Liu Ming in North Korea, he can finally get out of North Korea.

Looking back at the huge fleet behind him, Han Anguo sighed in his heart.

In the past, he never imagined that the dangerous ocean could be a smooth path for mankind.

But he knew that from now on, the fleet would rewrite history.

At this time, Andong and Joseon, as well as whaling ships and civilian ships that were whaling in the Wonhae, were requisitioned by the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and such a huge fleet was formed.

It transported more than 5,000 people from Xinhua and North Korea to the land of Youyan, which is 3,000 miles away.

And the time is only seven days!

The moats in Liaodong and Liaoxi no longer exist, and the soldiers no longer need to trek for a month, or even longer!

Not only that, Han Anguo also heard that in Qilu and Jiangdu, there are also fleets of building ships coming in the starry night.

"The Huns are finished...... Han Anguo sighed softly.

Of course the Huns will be finished!

Because in the next three days, most of the guards will be transported by the ship.

At the same time, more than 800,000 koku of grain from Andong and North Korea will also arrive.

The materials and personnel of Qilu and Jiangdu will also be transported in a steady stream.

The Huns would soon discover that the balance of power between them and the Han army would change rapidly.

The only pity is that the soldiers and horses of the two cuirass captains of the Escort Army are in Chang'an, and it is impossible to cross such a long distance.

If you wait until next year, when the Huns come again, and the two cuirass captains who have completed their training are in place, this time, the Huns will probably have to lose!

Even so, Han Anguo felt that the Huns would not be able to eat this time and walked around.

…………………………

Yishi, naturally, does not know what is happening on the coastline thousands of miles away.

At this moment, he was triumphantly leading his cavalry and stepping across the Han-Hungarian border moat - the Great Wall of Zaoyang.

Looking at this burning earth, Yishi was extremely proud in his chest.

In the past few days, his troops have engaged in fierce battles with the Han army, and after paying the lives of thousands of slave soldiers and thousands of cavalry, Yishi finally seized this important checkpoint to the rich world of the Han Dynasty's interior.

The only pity is that the Han Dynasty people and Lou were annoying, and nothing was left for him.

Not even a single body was left behind on the battlefield, and the fortresses inside and outside the Great Wall had been destroyed before the Han army retreated.

In the villages at the foot of the mountain, all the wells have been blocked with stones, and the Huns have to spend a lot of effort even to get water.

Fortunately, the Han Dynasty did not poison the well water, which made Yishi and his army barely able to drink water.

But if you want to eat, you have to bring it from the rear.

Especially table salt!

Yishi's army totaled nearly 30,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 slave soldiers.

With so many people and horses, not counting the daily eating and drinking of Lazar, just the salt eaten, it is impossible to count it at all!

And it is obvious that if a horse does not have salt, it will have no strength, and if a man does not have salt, his hands and feet will be weak.

This is a truth that even livestock understands!

Aren't the wild horses on the grasslands and the goats in the mountains also going into some salty places in groups every once in a while, risking their lives to eat the sand and soil to get salt sustenance?

And that's where the problem lies.

The production of salt in the Xiongnu was very small......

Especially in Makunan, there are very few places where they can obtain salt, except for a few natural salt ponds.

And these salt ponds obviously cannot supply the needs of the entire grassland.

Therefore, in the Han-Hungarian trade, among the top three materials in terms of trading volume, there must be salt.

But the problem is that since the new emperor of the Han Dynasty came to power, the amount of salt received from the Han Dynasty has been decreasing year by year.

This forced the Xiongnu to transport salt from the north of the curtain and even from the 36 countries of the Western Regions.

However, this is a clumsy and extremely uneconomical and costly approach.

It takes at least two months to transport a stone of salt from the northern part of the country to the south of the country, and three or four months if it is transported from the Western Regions.

Even if it was transported by slaves, the Huns could not bear it.

Not to mention, it was practically impossible to transport salt from slaves.

Generally speaking, the Xiongnu transported salt from the northern part of the Muku or the Western Regions, either by livestock and camels or by migrating tribes.

Even then, however, the cost is very high.

The price of a stone of salt on the grassland has long exceeded that of two mares or cows!

Yishi's southern invasion took away almost all the stocks of the tribes and vassal tribes, but by now, these stocks have basically been consumed.

Both the salt supply for the army and the brine supply for livestock began to be strained.

In the past, this was not a problem for the Huns.

As long as they entered the Great Wall and breached the cities of the Han army, then the army could immediately get enough salt, food, wealth, and even slaves.

But now......

The Huns' scout cavalry, after searching fifty miles forward, did not find any people.

The Han Dynasty seems to have made a large-scale retreat during the war.

They took everything they could, and what they couldn't, they set fire to it.

"These Han Dynasty people!" Yishi was furious in his heart.

He was not paid for the battle, and he did not even see the corpses of his enemies.

Under the cover of cavalry, the Han army retreated along the straight road, and before retreating, the Han cavalry also launched a counteroffensive to confuse him.

It doesn't matter, though!

Yishi is now full of self-confidence, he is confident that since he can break through the Great Wall, he will definitely be able to break through the county town of the Han Dynasty behind the Great Wall - Fuyang!

"It's just that the property is deposited with the Han Dynasty first......" With this idea, Yishi rode a horse, took his Daxu and the cavalry of the tribe, crossed the pass of the Great Wall, and entered the hinterland of Shanggu County.

Because Yishi knows that there is still plenty of time left for himself.

Judging from past experience, at this moment, the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty were at most only supported by some soldiers from the counties near Shanggu.

The terrible main field regiments of the Han Dynasty are still trudging through the mud and mud on the road.

If you want to get here, even if it is the nearest Flying Fox Army, it will take at least twenty days.

After deducting the time he wasted on the Great Wall, the Flying Fox Army of the Han Dynasty rushed to Shanggu County, and it would take at least ten days.

There were ten days, enough time for him to sweep the entire upper valley, and even break through the county town, and then take countless spoils of war in a good time, under the noses of the Han Dynasty, alternately retreat, withdraw from the Great Wall, and leave a messy land to the Han Dynasty.

………………………………

And at this moment, the main force of the Lou Fu army, which had just retreated from the Great Wall of Yang and was near Fuyang City, had just entered the campsite and was ready to rest.

Zhao Meng was riding a war horse, with a sling hanging from his shoulder, and his right hand was shot by a stray arrow on the Great Wall of Zaoyang, and the military doctor said that he needed to recuperate for at least half a month.

But Zhao Meng scoffed, half a month?!

The daylilies are cold!

Therefore, he didn't bother to pay attention to the instructions of the military doctor at all, and with injuries, he still rode and trained like a normal person.

Such a little injury is nothing to him.

It's just pain, not a broken arm!

Once on the grassland, even though he broke his leg, he still had to go to herding and hunting.

Otherwise, you will starve to death!

Although he doesn't have to worry about starving to death now, Zhao Meng knows that if he goes to recuperate, I'm afraid there will be nothing for him to do next.

Because, he saw the god rider!

Right next to his camp, dozens of large tents lined up.

The camp was heavily guarded, with occasional military patrols.

In some open places inside, it is common to see burly and tall Han soldiers, carefully wiping and maintaining their riding spears and armor in the sun.

The terrifying, sharp and amazing riding spear with a long handle made Zhao Meng fascinated, and those armors that shone in the sun were like peerless beauties, attracting all his mind.

Like Zhao Meng, there are many, many people who are attracted by these equipment.

These soldiers of the Lou Fu Army gathered around the cuirass camp, like fans who had seen their idols, their eyes were full of stars, and their hearts were full of worship!

The divine cavalry in the mouth of the Huns, the cuirass of the Han army, is currently the strongest and most terrifying invincible army in the world!

Since the day of its appearance, the cuirass has not tasted a single defeat.

Even losses on the battlefield can only be calculated in the tens of digits.

And most of these losses were not inflicted by the enemy.

There was even the proud propaganda of the cuirassier officers of the Han army: "There is no army or weapon in this world that can defeat and threaten a charging cuirass cluster!" ”

This sounds too arrogant, but it is precisely because of this that the cuirass unit of the Han army has become the biggest dream and the most desirable place for martial artists in the world.

Even not only martial artists, but even literati and also wrote poems to express their willingness to be the ideal of the cuirass.

However, if you want to become a cuirassier, the requirements are too harsh!

First of all, you must be at least eight feet tall!

Just this one, I don't know how many people with lofty ideals have been stuck!

Eight feet tall, even in the Han family, I dare not say that there is no one in a hundred, at least one out of fifty!

Then, there are also requirements for weight and riding,

You don't see, the whole army of the Protector Army is nearly 20,000 horses, but as a result, only 1,000 people were selected, and in this way, there were hundreds of people who were directly brushed off when they were trained in Chang'an.

Those who remain are not the backbone and elite.

However, at present, the good news for the Han family is that the height of the next generation will definitely be taller than this generation, and it is much taller!

Especially the children of military families and landlords and gentry.

Because they have a well-to-do family, they can eat fish and salt from the sea, cheese from livestock and even beef every day!

In Chang'an, there are now many fourteen or fifteen-year-old young nobles and gentry who stand out from the crowd, and the proportion of giants is very high, and almost half of them can have a height of more than eight feet when they become adults!

But now, height and weight are still the biggest obstacles restricting the cuirass of the Han army.

It took six years for the Han family to devote all their efforts to the world, and so far the size of the cuirass force is only between 7,000 and 9,000.

Among them, there are probably only five or six thousand people who have the ability to fight and can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

And here, there were almost 1,700 cuirassiers.

They are subordinates of the two cuirass captains of the Flying Fox Army.

Such a number is just enough to organize a large group of cuirass to attack and charge.

Zhao Meng licked his tongue and looked at these mighty knights with envy.

He never dreamed of being one of them, even if it was to clean up for these great cavalrymen, the personal guards of the Son of Heaven!

It's just a pity......

Zhao Meng knew that he had no hope.

He was too short, and he was too thin for the physicality of these god riders.

But......

"Although I can't do it, my son will definitely be able to!" Zhao Meng swore in his heart.

His wife has just asked someone to tell him that he is going to be a father again!

This made Zhao Meng full of confidence, this time he will definitely be able to give birth to a son, a dignified and upright one, born in China, the son of Zhuxia!

Then, he will definitely grow up healthy and happy, and finally take over his mantle and become a warrior who opens up territory for the Son of Heaven!

At this moment, suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance.

Countless people were running loudly to each other: "The main force of the Xiliu Battalion led by General Che Cai and General Dongcheng Houyi has arrived in the south of Shanggu!" ”

When Zhao Meng heard this, he immediately jumped up.

Righteous General!

The god of war, the symbol of victory!

He's actually here!

And it came so fast!

Zhao Meng's first feeling was that Shanggu County was safe, and the Huns were finished!

"It seems that this time the great Son of Heaven has appeared again!" Zhao Meng thought in his heart, he couldn't wait to follow General Yi to kill all those Huns and recapture his homeland!

He will never forget the moment when he set his home on fire with his own hands.

He also vowed to recapture it and then rebuild his warm, safe, warm, and happy home again.

After running outside for a day today, my head was dizzy~

The back pain is terrible when I do a general chair, and my neck is uncomfortable~

Let's wait patiently for a few days~~~ (To be continued.) )
