"Big brother, the brothers are a little unbearable, don't you want to take a break?" Zhao Wenshan had just driven his horse up the hillside, and Fang Han also caught up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Both of them are from Zhaozhou, Zhao Wenshan is from Gaoyi, Zhaozhou, and Fang Han is from Baixiang, Zhaozhou.

This time Wang Miao came to recruit, Zhao Wenshan first agreed, and then explained Fang Han and another Wang Miao's former playmate Xie Ke, and the three of them joined Huaiyou.

It's just that Zhao Wenshan's cavalry is only more than 1,000 people, and Fang Han and Xie Ke's two infantry troops are only about 1,500 people, so they are nominally three armies, but they add up to only 4,000 people.

Fortunately, these three armies have been fighting with the Shatuo people for many years, and they are not weak in terms of combat effectiveness, but these soldiers are a little older, and they have not been able to replenish new recruits over the years, and they seem to be a little young.

"What about Xie Ke?" Zhao Wenshan didn't answer Fang Han's words and asked.

"Wen Ke is pressing the formation in the rear, the soldiers are marching continuously, and they are still a little unable to keep up, if in the past few years, our soldiers can eat as much as they did in Luyi a few days ago, how can they be dragged down like this by just a few hundred miles?"

Fang Han is not tall, but he is strong and sturdy, with a square head and a wide face, and his cheekbones are majestic, and he is very strong.

Zhao Wenshan was also a little angry.

Fang Han's words are reasonable, over the years, not only have these armies never replenished their horses, weapons and armor, but even the grain and forage are often deducted and delayed, but when the war comes, these armies are often the first to bear the brunt.

After several battles, from more than 7,000 people in that year to be slowly consumed now, only more than 4,000 people remain, if it were not for the suppression of bandits to fill some of the deficit, and the surrender of bandits to add in, I am afraid that even 3,000 people would be enough.

Even so, several armies were hungry and full, and many older soldiers were dragged down like this.

This long journey can be more reflected, and fortunately, Huaiyou added baggage along the way in advance, otherwise it would have been really difficult.

The news came from the Huaiyou side that the Huaiyou Navy was also heading north day and night, and it was expected to arrive in Ruyin soon.

I don't know how the speed of the Huaiyou Navy will be fast, a few days ago I heard that it has just arrived in Zhengyang, that is, the place where Yingshui enters Huai, and at this time it has already passed Yingshang and rushed to Ruyin.

Before Wang Miao left north, he also reminded Zhao Wenshan that he could slow down appropriately, firstly, to save physical strength, and secondly, to wait appropriately for Lu Longjun, who was rapidly moving south.

In addition, Wang Miao also secretly reminded Zhao Wenshan that Huaiyou and Huaibei are not allies, but temporary cooperation, and the target is also Caizhou, and the relationship between Huaibei and Huaiyou is uncertain in the future.

In view of the fact that the Caizhou army had entered Yingzhou and taken Shenqiu, Wang Miao had to go north to urge Lu Longjun to speed up the southward movement, and by the way, he also had to inspect the southward movement of the relatives and families of the armies along the way, so as to prevent being exploited and disturbed by the local officials of Daliang along the way.

In the end, Wang Miao also specially told Zhao Wenshan, although from the current situation, the main target of the Caizhou army is Ruyin City, but the Caizhou Yuan clan has always been cunning and vicious, and is good at sneak attacks, so the Chengde army still needs to be careful of the Caizhou army on the side of Shenqiu.

"Then take a break. Zhao Wenshan turned over and dismounted, and then said: "The scouts should be released as much as possible, all roads must be arranged, enter Yingzhou, everything can happen, although the Caizhou army is a big enemy, but the probation army can't be too trusted, the only thing we can rely on now is ourselves, at least until the Huaiyou Navy converges, we can put our minds at ease." ”

"Don't worry, big brother, the scouts are all released in turn, everyone has worked hard for so long, and they are about to come to the bitter end, how can they be lazy?" Fang Han said with a smile: "It's the same with Wen Ke's side, he just doesn't feel at ease, so he keeps insisting on pressing the formation." ”

"Well, in the next few days, the further we go south, the greater the danger will be, we only have this little strength, the scouts on the right side of Huai must be connected, but we can't rely on them, we also have to maintain our own vigilance, the scouts must let go of Yingshui, run up and down along Yingshui, work in pairs, and report immediately if there is any suspicion. ”

Zhao Wenshan is also a veteran general on the battlefield, he is very familiar with this set, the troops in his hands are insufficient, and he is a tired division after a long journey, once he encounters a surprise attack by the enemy, there is a possibility that the whole army will be annihilated.

"Big brother thinks there's a problem?" Fang Han is not a simple person, he has fought countless vicious battles with the Shatuo people for so many years, and he has long developed the vigilance to prevent problems before they happen.

"Well, it's not easy to say, I always feel that the news on Huaiyou's side is not very accurate, since this Caizhou army wants to take Ruyin, how can it stay in Shenqiu all the time? Is it really so afraid of angering Huaiyou? If it were me, I would rather believe it than believe it, and I would never allow any army that might be reinforcements to enter Yingzhou. Although Zhao Wenshan was not sure, he still raised his worries and doubts.

"The southern part of Caizhou borders Gwangju, and Caizhou's troops are mainly concentrated in the east. Fang Han thought for a moment.

"So what? Caizhou's ten counties, the strategic depth is not small, even if you lose one or two counties? It has nothing to do with the overall situation, now Caizhou is clearly going to swallow Yingzhou, as long as this strategic goal is achieved, even if it is worth losing a few counties in Caizhou, when the situation is stabilized, it will be taken back, Huaiyou does not have the strength to occupy the southern part of Caizhou, Yuan's rule in Caizhou is quite stable, this Jiulang and I talked about this, the biggest gap between Huaiyou and Caizhou is on this. ”

Zhao Wenshan's words made Fang Han's heart sink in his heart, "If this is the case, you need to be careful, don't go to the door and plant somersaults." ”

Mei Guo caught up with the fleet on the Ying.

Dozens of ships of various sizes traveled along the Yingshui River, all the way calm.

However, Mei Guo only relieved himself after boarding the ship by himself.

Jiang Feng took a concubine, and it stands to reason that he could not go, but it was only a day or two to think that he would come and go, and the fleet was still traveling on the Huai River, so he still went.

The task given to him by Jiang Feng is very simple, the first is to ensure that the Heshuo army can go south safely, and the second is to cooperate with the Heshuo army to assist the probation army against the Caizhou army, but this second article is a little difficult to handle.

Jiang Feng clearly told Mei Guo that while ensuring the first article, the second article could let Mei Guo make judgments and decisions according to the situation, and Jiang Feng himself would not interfere.

This seems to be the importance of Mei Qian, and Mei Guo also knows that this is actually a test, a test of his ability to strategize on the battlefield.

The situation in the battle of Yingzhou is quite complicated, and the Caizhou army came with the momentum of ambition.

Now the reinforcements of the probation army are rushing from Bozhou and Xuzhou to Ruyin in the starry night, and the posture of the Heshuo army going south is actually to deter the Caizhou army, so that the Caizhou army will not dare to act rashly, and win time for the reinforcements of the reforming army.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Mei Guo was carefully examining the sails.

This is probably the first time that the spinnaker appeared in Middle-earth, and the use of the spinnaker can make better use of the headwind, although it is more complicated in operation, but it can better adjust the direction of the boat and increase the speed of the boat.

Mei Guo has always been a little puzzled, how this kind of knowledge that can obviously only be understood by professionals on the water, and even technicians who have been building ships for many years may not be able to figure out the knowledge of changing the sail type and adjusting the mast and sail shape was actually put forward by Jiang Feng, and all the suggestions he put forward sounded a little absurd at first, but the shipbuilding technicians in Shouzhou were immediately amazed after the trial production and transformation, and admired the five-body throw.

These things are not a combination of magic, some of the truths are even very simple, but no one has ever thought of them, and Jiang Feng can wear them like a few treasures, so that Mei Jing has to wonder if maybe this lord is really destiny.

Due to the change of sail type, many things have been added that have not been seen before, and the crew of the ship has increased significantly, but the benefits are also obvious, the speed of the ship has been greatly accelerated, the change of direction has been adjusted more quickly, and at the same time, with the magic equipment that the Daozang Institute began to develop for the fleet, the combat effectiveness of the Shouzhou Navy is also expanding rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In particular, the fire dragon cannon provided by Daozang is extremely powerful, and under Jiang Feng's point, a ball roulette specially used for rotation is installed, which can make the fire dragon cannon rotate left and right at will, which is extremely convenient, and also makes the combat effectiveness of this fire dragon cannon more prominent.

In addition to this fire dragon cannon, the ship is also equipped with a magic crossbow, which is also the proper meaning, the most mature magic equipment in the Huzhou Daozang itself is the magic crossbow, but in view of the fact that the ship is more convenient to install than the city wall, so the heavy magic crossbow is also quite densely installed on both sides of the ship, and its combat effectiveness has also been rapidly improved.

Mei Guo has been thinking about it, and it turns out that the battle mode of the Shouzhou Navy has been drastically adjusted with the revolutionary changes in the weapons equipped with the naval fleet.

Gang jumping battles and rocket battles were originally the most important combat methods, and in the face of the attack range of the dragon cannon and the heavy spell crossbow, it is very likely that they will be swept away before they can play a role.

Even relying on the thickness of the fleet, the flotilla could strike at enemy troops on the shore, as well as houses and fortresses, which was previously unimaginable, but now all this is possible.

Sometimes Mei Kuangdu even wonders if the navy still needs a martial arts master like herself, maybe the only role of a martial arts powerhouse like herself is to prevent the enemy's martial arts master from jumping under the wall to destroy these strategic weapons of his own side.
