Chapter 256: Jingzhou Water Army
Yuzhang County, to which Xiaobai Village belongs, belongs to the county under the rule of Yangzhou, is located in the east of the Han Empire, from the southwestern part of the Han Empire, separated by Jingzhou and Yizhou, two large states, with countless counties and counties in between, thousands of miles away, something will happen in the middle, it is really too normal, if you are not careful, the task is very likely to fail, so Lin Ran is not at ease to hand over this task to others to complete, and decided to personally lead the troops to carry out this task. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I heard that Lin Ran was going to Nanban to complete the task, Ah Fei and Xue Min all wanted to go with them, they were hanging around in Yuzhang County all day long, they were really a little bored, and they wanted to go out with Lin Ran for a "tour".
It's just that as soon as Lin Ran leaves Xiaobai Village, the affairs of the village and the Xiaobai Alliance must be managed by enough manpower, Zhao Ying definitely can't follow this time, and neither can Ah Fei and Chu Tiankuo, the Xiaobai Alliance Army has recently joined the Nanchang Alliance Army of more than 100,000 people, and they need these two veteran-level people to rectify and train.
"This time, I'll go with Xue Min, you all stay in Yuzhang County, and I'll be back soon." Lin Ran finally said.
"I want to go too. I heard that the scenery in Yunnan is very good. Ah Fei pitifully pulled Lin Ran's arm and begged.
Lin Ran was speechless and said, "Do you really think that I am traveling to Nanban this time?" This is in the game, not the real world, there will be countless obstacles and dangers on the way, too many people will not be able to take care of it, and the village is now short of manpower. This time, it's enough for Xue Min and I to go. ”
Before leaving, Lin Ran also made a special trip to Liyang City, found Zhu Zhi, and told him that he was going to Nanban to complete a mission.
After hearing this, Zhu Zhi was a little worried: "This southern barbarian is a foreign land, and those barbarians are all brave and ruthless, and they are very cruel, which is too dangerous." ”
Lin Ran nodded and said, "Yes, I'm also worried about this, you said that it was so dangerous along the way, if you don't have a suitable bodyguard, it's really difficult to do." ”
Lin Ran said while looking at He Man behind Zhu Zhi with his eyes, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, He Man, who Zhu Zhi temporarily lent to Lin Ran, left Lin Ran's command and became Zhu Zhi's subordinate again, serving under Zhu Zhi's camp.
Zhu Zhi followed Lin Ran's gaze, understood, and said with a smile: "That's right, so let's do it, I'll seconded a subordinate warrior to you, so that if there is danger, you can take care of it." With that, Zhu Zhi called He Man over.
Lin Ran grinned, it was really a happy thing to meet such an understanding NPC history-level general.
Soon, Lin Ran led a large number of cavalry troops under his command to set off and rushed to the Nanban region at a speed of a hundred miles a day.
Lin Ran estimated that the Nanban region is almost more than a thousand miles away from Yuzhang County in Yangzhou, and if it is by land, it will take nearly a month to walk back and forth without delay.
However, if you go upriver along the Yangtze River, through the waters of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, directly enter Yizhou, and then pass through Yizhou to enter the Nanban area, the time on the way will be saved a lot, and there will not be so many difficulties and obstacles on the land route, about half a month, you can go back and forth.
Lin Ran and his troops naturally led a small white alliance naval army to take the waterway.
The road was very smooth, when Lin Ran passed through the boundary of Jingzhou, he did not encounter water thieves, this is largely because Jingzhou at this time under the management of Liu Biao, also maintained a large scale of water army, and there is a generation of famous water army Huang Zu commanded, the water thieves in Jingzhou waters are frightened, and they have fled to other states and counties.
When Lin Ran's fleet passed outside Jiangxia City, a fleet with a huge yellow flag on the mast of the fleet came out of the anchored port and intercepted Lin Ran and the others.
These battlefields slowly walked to Lin Ran and the others, the huge beds, and the towering sails shining in the sun, bringing a huge black shadow to the water below, blocking the small white alliance sailors below.
"What kind of ship is this!" Xue Min looked at the majestic warship and couldn't help asking.
Lin Ran observed that as a senior professional player, he also studied various ships in history.
"This is a fighting ship, also known as a "battleship". The ship is surrounded by three-foot-high women's walls, with holes under the half-body walls, and the oars are exposed, which is full of protection, and the hull is huge, and it is equipped with a large number of bow and crossbow weapons, which are far beyond the walking boats in terms of attack and defensive performance. ”
Lin Ran pointed to the huge sturdy bows of the two fighting ships in front of him with bronze pouring at their heads, and said, "Not to mention other weapons, this fighting ship only needs to use its head to lightly hit the other ships to make the other party fall apart." ”
Xue Min said: "This should be the Jingzhou Navy under Liu Biao, it is really strong." These two fighting ships are probably not the most powerful ships in their hands. ”
The two fighting ships slowly led Lin Ran and the others to the temporary ferry outside Jiangxia City, and a large pair of officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Imperial Court boarded the boat, and the leading general shouted loudly on the deck of the ship: "Who is inside?" Hurry up and get checked! ”
"Check, what to check? I'll go out and have a look. Xue Min walked from the room to the deck, and asked the leading general among these officers and soldiers, "What do you want to check?" I am the deputy commander of this fleet. ”
These Jingzhou imperial court soldiers saw Xue Min in military uniform, they were a little strange, in their heads, it was hard to believe that there were women who could serve in the army, and this seemed to be a high-status existence in this fleet.
"Who are you?" The leading general stepped forward and interrogated Xue Min.
"We are the imperial army of Yangzhou, and we are going to Yizhou for this mission, so we want to borrow your waterway."
The general pulled out the sword in his hand, looked it up and down, and said in a very bad tone: "This is a little strange, as far as I know, this Yangzhou army has not yet had so many sailors, are you deceiving us?" Let's be honest yet! ”
"Who lied to you?" Lin Ran walked out of the room at this time, followed by a group of elite Tiger Cavalry soldiers and He Man, with a long sword of a middle-level general of the imperial court and a tiger talisman of the general of the fold Chong tied around his waist.
"General!" This partial general recognized the official position of the representative of the tiger talisman and saber on Lin Ran's body, and was a little panicked, isn't this a saber and talisman that can only be worn by a fifth-rank military general? Such a high-ranking general, even one order higher than Lord Huang Zu, the commander-in-chief of their fleet, how could he be in such a small fleet? (To be continued.) )
