Cheng Dayou gently sniffed the slightly fishy water vapor of the river, the mouth of the Fan River in late autumn is wider and deeper than ever, and the mighty eastward river seems to have nothing to block its way, and the turbid waves are surging, rushing into the sea with a momentum of thousands of miles, as if telling people not to easily want to cross their bodies.

Monocular clairvoyant, everything on the other side of the river is in sight, everything seems very calm, Cheng Dayou licked his somewhat chapped lips with satisfaction, Fan River moat, this season to cross the Fan River is a big risk, especially in the late autumn season, the river water rises sharply, compared with the original dry period when the river surface is almost one-third, and many crops on the bank of the river have been swept into the water, it has become a reed belt. In this proximity to the mouth of the sea, no one notices that it will become a glorious point in history, forever written in the history of the Tang River.

Since accepting the Northern Expedition mission, Cheng Dayou has been planning how to fight a beautiful Northern Expedition War, the East China Sea as the empire's top three rich counties and provinces its importance is not asked, Cheng Dayou of course knows His Royal Highness King Qin's current thoughts, and the intact inclusion of the East China Sea is the most in line with His Royal Highness King Qin's intentions, of course, this may not be realized, but Cheng Dayou is still ready to plan to see how to take the East China Sea with minimal losses.

The heart of the East China Sea is naturally Jinling, but the Fan River has become a moat guarding most of the East China Sea County, if you want to attack the East China Sea from the 6th Road, Luyang and Pengcheng are both alternative attack directions, but Situ Tai also took this into account, and the newly established 15th Army Corps in the area of Pengcheng in Luyang gathered four divisions. Most of these four divisions evolved from the newly established independent divisions in Yanyun and Donghai in the later period, although Cheng Dayou did not take it to heart, but once the battle started in the area of Luyang and Pengcheng, the war would inevitably bring losses to this area. Especially if the enemy sticks to the two prefectures and the Northern Expedition turns into a tough battle, the losses will be greater, so Cheng Dayou has always hoped to solve this battle in a more effective and thorough way. And crossing the river by surprise should be the best choice. However, this choice has many fatal flaws to overcome.

Situ Tai was already aware of the danger of Jiangnan losing the East China Sea when he abandoned Jiangnan, so when he withdrew from Jiangnan, he had already collected all the ships along the Fan River. All of them were escorted to Jiangbei, and there were almost no decent boats to cross the river up and down the entire Fan River, and Situ Tai also realized that he could not prevent a small group of troops from crossing the river on the western side of the river with such a long river, so a beacon tower was built almost every five miles along the river, and once there was a change, he could receive an alarm in the shortest possible time, and he also specially dispatched almost all the seven cavalry wings of the Northern Army to be scattered and stationed along the river for hundreds of miles, so that he could feel the warning in the shortest possible time to maintain the advantage of mobility. In one fell swoop, he killed a small group of Western Xinjiang troops who crossed the river. It should be said that Situ Tai took great pains to defend this Fanjiang line, but he forgot that the entire river defense alone was not enough to stop the footsteps of the Western Xinjiang Army from moving north, and the east of the entire Donghai County was an endless sea, and the coastline of thousands of miles could also defend the residence?

Cheng Dayou proposed the plan of using the ships of the navy and navy to go north in Yuhangji, and let a main division of the Eighth Army board the ship and go straight to the north from the hinterland of the East China Sea to enter the East China Sea, while the other four divisions led a feint attack in Luyang and Pengcheng to attract the attention of the enemy's 15 th Army Corps, and this plan immediately won Liang Chongxin's great praise, and immediately contacted the civilian ships in Yuhang and Songjiang, which had already entered the working state, of course, this operation still maintained a certain degree of secrecy. It wasn't until the scheduled assembly time that it was really settled.

More than 100 civilian ships collected from the coast of Yuhang and Songjiang began to dock on 6 routes, which was originally a high embankment, which was temporarily reinforced as a boarding place for the fleet after docking, and a neat array of soldiers began to board the ship, and within three hours the soldiers must all board the ship, and then the fleet will enter the sea first along the river. Turn north at the turnaround.

Although the whole boarding formation was a little chaotic, it should be said that the whole process was quite smooth, except for a few soldiers who accidentally fell into the water while boarding, there was no other trouble. In order to strengthen the attack power of the assault force after landing in the hinterland of the East China Sea, Cheng Dayou decided to try to keep two brigades of cavalry, which also meant that more than 2,000 war horses had to be loaded with nearly sixty ships, which also greatly increased the difficulty of transportation. Only then did the entire transportation plan barely complete.

This is not the first time Cheng Dayou has taken a boat. However, it was the first time to go to sea by boat, and in the past it was only a boat ride on an inland river. But this time, he had to enter the vast sea, and when the river gradually turned blue with some lightness, Cheng Dayou knew that he was already traveling on the Great Eastern Ocean at this time. The coastline gradually disappeared in people's eyes, although the wind and waves were not big, but there were still quite a few soldiers who showed their inadaptability, seasickness seemed to be contagious, wave after wave pulled down a large number of people, it was Cheng Dayou worried, but the comfort of the boat boss made Cheng Dayou a little reassured, as long as these soldiers went ashore, it would not be long before they could return to the appearance of a dragon and a tiger.

According to the plan, the fleet will sail north for two days and two nights, due to the influence of the current and wind direction, there may be some errors in the whole time of the 6 boarding, but the location is unchanged, it is determined to be near the town of Rizhao on the border of Jinling and Dengzhou.

The dizzy Cheng Dayou didn't know how long he had been asleep, since the wind and waves on the sea, he couldn't hold on anymore, the taste of shaking was something Cheng Dayou had never experienced, although he tried his best to show that he was different in front of the officers and soldiers, but this seasickness taste could not be overcome by will alone, the chest was suffocated and uncomfortable soon manifested through vomiting, and at this time Cheng Dayou realized that he was no different from other soldiers. Looking at the boatmen who talk and laugh freely and walk like flying, Cheng Dayou has to admit that this sentence is the best interpretation at this time, he doesn't know what kind of way the navy's operations will be carried out, but in this case, the requirements for soldiers are a little higher.

"When? How long have I been asleep?" Holding back the feeling of boredom in his heart, Cheng Dayou propped up his body and looked out of the cabin, due to the lack of ships, the entire fleet had to force more soldiers into each ship, and even Cheng Dayou, as the commander of the entire Northern Expedition assault group, could only be assigned a small cabin, while others, from the division commander to the ordinary soldiers, could only crowd together to make do with these two days.

"Back to General, you've slept for eight hours, and it's dawn now. The soldier standing aside replied.

"Oh, isn't that about to get close to the shoreline?" Feeling refreshed, Cheng Dayou suddenly felt that his depressed mood had subsided a little, and his eyes looked to the west.

"Well, it seems that the fleet is already moving westward, but now the wind direction seems to be a little unsuitable, the degree of westward movement is very slow, the fleet seems to be turning around, listening to the boatmen, I'm afraid the time will be delayed a little. The soldiers hurriedly helped up the commander who was still a little uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter, we've come this far, it's too late for the Northern Army to know, as long as we land on the shore, it's a tiger into the mountains. Taking a deep breath, he shook off the hand of his own soldier, Cheng Dayou shook off his clothes and wiped his face, "Go and ask the boatman, how long will it take to get ashore, the time can be delayed, but this landing place can't be wrong, otherwise who will we go to go ashore this time?"

Soon the boatman replied, and it was estimated that the coastline should be visible in three hours, which means that the fleet would be able to dock six times after four hours.

Huang Yuanchang looked at the sea a little anxiously, it had been two hours out of the scheduled time, but there was still no trace of the fleet on the sea, although this place was very deserted, but Huang Yuanchang knew that once the fleet arrived, it would immediately become the focus of attention in front of everyone's eyes, and the fleet could not be done without three or five hours from the landing to the landing of the entire army. Huang Yuanchang is not worried about others, the strength of the Northern Army in this area has been weakened to the extreme, whether it is Jinling in the south or Dengzhou in the north, there is almost no decent army, Jinling City still has a division of the 15th Army Corps, but Dengzhou has only one incomplete garrison in the name of the garrison division, and the actual establishment is less than two wings, in this case, no one can stop the boarding of the army on the fleet.

Huang Yuanchang was afraid of the impact of the change in the climate at sea on the fleet, although the fleet hired experienced old shipwrights, but the changes on the sea were too drastic, and the wind and waves overnight caused the entire fleet to be wiped out in the storm.

"Lord Huang, look!" An excited and surprised shout woke Huang Yuanchang from his trance, "It seems that there is a fleet, can you see if it will be our fleet?"

Casually taking the monocular clairvoyant handed over by his subordinates, Huang Yuanchang immediately fixed his gaze on the sky, and a dense black dot appeared in the lens of the clairie tube.
