With the arrival of the grain transport team and the material supply team commanded by Xiahou Ying to this new camp, there were also battle reports described by Qin Min and several middle and senior military Simas of the Lou Chuanshi troops. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Regarding the record of this battle report, Zhang Jiashi really didn't know what to say at this time.

After all, he understood things like naval battles more from the pitiful few relevant records in the Qingyu Spirit Book.

Zhang Jiashi knew that with this thing and a group of "landlubbers" alone, it was impossible to improve the building boat unit as much as possible at once, and it was not surprising that there would always be some mistakes or even mistakes.

But compared to this, Zhang Jiashi believes that what he needs to pay more attention to at the moment is not the result of the naval battle and the corresponding review and improvement. This kind of thing can completely end the land operation on Kyushu Island and return to Liaodong County to brainstorm again.

With the arrival of a large number of various military supplies, Zhang Jiashi thought that he could start the next move.

......

However, before formalizing the next plan of action, Zhang Jiashi thought that he needed to determine whether he would prioritize attacking the main Japanese military forces on Kyushu Island, or find Xu Fu and the "boy scouts" who crossed east to try his luck.

For the previous action plan, Zhang Jiashi prefers this method as a premise for the next action. After all, such a thing needs to be done no matter what, after all, he is not leading more than 20,000 people to Kyushu Island for sightseeing, but to fight for control of this island.

As for the main forces of the Japanese in this place, Zhang Jiashi needs to destroy the other party in order to be able to control Kyushu Island.

It's just that after discussion, Zhang Cang and Sun Po are more inclined to unite Xu Fu's men and horses, so that their own strength is more sufficient before they officially fight the enemy.

Zhang Jiashi heard the opinions of the two, and although he knew very well that the other party intended to solve the enemy with a steady combat method. At this point, Zhang Jiashi doesn't think that the other party is doing wrong.

It's just that in Zhang Jiashi's heart, he doesn't have much confidence in the bamboo slips carved out by his father-in-law Xi that are now in his hand. After all, he didn't think that the content recorded on this bamboo slip that he was not interested in opening and looking at could decide that Xu Fu, the first god stick of the Qin Dynasty, could be moved or scruples.

In the end, after much deliberation, Zhang Jiashi made his own decision, that is, he ordered everyone to set out the day after tomorrow, and this place was to leave another 500 men to defend and guard the captured Japanese.

Zhang Jiashi did not let the convoy carry out such a thing as transporting personnel again, after all, the materials they needed to carry had become quite large, and Zhang Jiashi could not order the soldiers under his command to bring their own share of military rations, and they also carried nearly 20 days of military rations in a row, which was also an additional heavy burden for the infantry, especially the heavy infantry.

It is impossible for Zhang Jiashi to let his subordinates engage in a sudden encounter with the enemy, because the physical strength of the officers and soldiers under his command is too excessive, resulting in a significant drop in combat effectiveness.

In terms of the arrangement of the troops, Zhang Jiashi ordered Wenle to lead 200 chariots and 1,000 assembled knights as the forward troops, while the 100 wagons were responsible for transporting materials and corresponding craftsmen, and carrying out work such as building bridges on some rivers.

And he, like Nguyen Weng Thieu, is responsible for overall command in the Chinese army.

The rearguard was composed of 1,500 infantry units.

This arrangement, in a certain way, further dispersed the strength of Zhang Jiashi's troops, in addition to the fact that there were more than 10,000 people in the Chinese army, and the number of forward and rear guard troops was about 4,000 people.

But Zhang Jiashi was confident that as long as his Chinese troops did not make a big mess, the Japanese wanted to completely swallow either of the other two armies in a short period of time...... Well, it's not that Zhang Jiashi underestimated the current combat effectiveness of the Japanese, but in this case, Zhang Jiashi can sit back and watch his forward defenders be destroyed, so he doesn't have to participate in the war in the Central Plains later.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

In terms of the choice of the marching route, because he determined his course of action, he gave priority to finding Xu Fu and the thousands of "boy scouts" under his command. According to the general geographical situation of the young man who did not have his own name, Zhang Jiashi had to lead the troops, and from this small camp, directly ordered the troops to advance in the southwest direction.

After about seven days of advance, Zhang Jiashi led his army to the central part of the Kumamoto Prefecture area.

Of course, there were no Shinkansen or cars at this time, and many places were even deserted.

After seeing the direction of the sun on this day, Zhang Jiashi ordered the troops to camp on the spot.

Although it depends on the sky, it is between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon. However, with the current performance of tools, even if a force of several thousand people wants to build a temporary camp of more than 10,000 people, it may not be possible in about an hour.

And Zhang Jiashi did not order all the people to build a camp together, mainly because he had to send personnel to guard and sentry out, after all, when building the camp, the defense capability of this area was also quite weak.

After comparing a map he had drawn with a map of Japan that had been handed to him by a herald sent by Wenle, Zhang Jiashi found that he was now in the vicinity of the central part of Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyushu.

Is a county big?

This question depends on when and in what country.

If we say that after the abolition of feudal prefectures in Japan in later generations, one prefecture of the Japanese is really very large. In a sense, the Japanese prefecture became the largest administrative unit in Japan, second only to the abolished province at that time.

In Japan, a prefecture can contain several cities, so Kumamoto Prefecture is actually not too small.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi is thinking about more than this now. He was thinking about where Xu Fu and the thousands of people were.

The thousands of people who settled in one place were much larger than his temporary camp, after all, according to the young man, Xu Fu and his people, except for some materials that needed to be exchanged with the Japanese, were basically self-sufficient.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi was very curious about one thing, that is, what could these Japanese people be able to look at, and what things they had that were worth trading with these Japanese.

After getting the corresponding answer, Zhang Jiashi found that he still overestimated the social productivity of the current Japanese.

That is, the Japanese nowadays do not seem to have mastered the way to boil salt, which is a waste of resources.

This is because the coarse salt made from the seawater in the area where they settled is very popular among the Japanese.

But this is not a big deal for Zhang Jiashi. After all, he still remembered very well that when the young man saw a carriage specially used to transport salt, and more than a dozen bags of fine salt were placed on it, there was such a trace of pride in his heart.

......

From the communication with this teenager, Zhang Jiashi seems to have no way to understand what he thinks is the most crucial. The area where they settled has not yet been determined. At that time, Zhang Jiashi had such a hunch, that is, he seemed to be getting closer and closer to the area where the other party was located.

Two days later, Zhang Jiashi again led his army to continue from this temporary camp, and Wenle in front sent a team of knights to him.

"General Zuo! Captain Wen sent his subordinates to report to General Zuo that there was a large area ahead with a rudimentary fence, and that it was being besieged by thousands of men. Captain Wen asked General Zuo what he should do?

Looking at this Qin army commander who was holding his fist on his mount and signaling to him, Zhang Jiashi pondered for a moment and asked this Qin army knight chief, "How far is this place from us?"

"About fifty miles!" the answer of the chief of the Qin army was very succinct.

Hearing this distance, Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After all, this distance is not long to say, and short is not short.

If he insisted on a hurried march, Zhang Jiashi would still be able to lead the Chinese army troops to arrive at this place around noon, but he could not expect that the main force of the Chinese army under his command would still be able to fight.

After all, everyone is tired and lying down, and it is time to burn incense if they don't let the other party rush over with a counter-charge.

However, Zhang Jiashi couldn't ignore such a situation, after all, this camp was likely to be Xu Fu's settlement.

Zhang Jiashi pondered for a while and made a decision:

"You convey the order to Captain Wen, let him judge the situation of the two warring sides for himself, if the enemy can't rush into that place, let him move, if the enemy has the possibility of breaking through the defense, let him lead the army to directly attack the enemy's flank and back!"

"Whoa!"

The herald's commander, after holding his fist in agreement, quickly turned his horse's head and returned straight back the way he came.

And after this group ordered the knights to stay away, Ruan Weng Shao, who was beside Zhang Jiashi, hugged his fists and asked, "My lord, have we let the officers and soldiers march in a hurry?"

Zhang Jiashi shook his head and said helplessly: "This distance is not long, nor is it short, but there is one point, if we lead the troops to march in a hurry, and we rush to that place, do the officers and soldiers under our command still have sufficient physical strength?"

Ruan Weng Shao, who heard this, nodded lightly, after all, he was also a person who had experienced the Battle of Yongdu, in the Battle of Yongdu, after just a short rest outside the city, he entered the first batch of Afang Duwei battalions in the melee between Yongdu and Baimaqiang, almost all the troops were wiped out, and there were less than a thousand people who could survive.

If it weren't for those mysterious people, I'm afraid that even him and Zhang Jiashi would have died in Yongdu.

Therefore, those who survived this battle recognized the importance of a unit to maintain as much physical strength as possible before fighting.

Zhang Jiashi's conversation with the head of the Qin army, he naturally heard it quite clearly. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Jiashi's arrangement, after all, Wenle's troops were already quite close to that place, otherwise, they would not have sent someone to rush back at this time to give the order and report the news.

Therefore, the Wenle Department, which is relatively much shorter, is not too difficult to do the order given to him by Zhang Jiashi.

At this time, after Sun Po, who did not speak, whispered a few words to a guard beside him, the guard quickly rode his horse towards the convoy in the middle of the team.

After a while, the young man appeared beside Zhang Jiashi.

Zhang Jiashi knew that Sun Po was not meaningless in doing this, he wanted to use this young man to determine whether that place was their destination or not.

Zhang Jiashi questioned the boy through some details obtained from the herald's chief, and found that this camp was most likely the outskirts of the settlement where Xu Fu and his "boy scouts" were located.

After letting the boy go back to his carriage to rest, Zhang Jiashi looked at the place where the herald had arrived, and fell into deep thought.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

!!Behind the fence of this camp, many men who were a little older, commanding many even childish teenagers, used not too sophisticated weapons in their hands to engage in desperate melee with these Japanese.

There were some middle-aged people wearing old armor that had been around for some years, and the weapons in their hands had quite a few gaps.

The equipment of these people says a lot about who they are. Many of them were the escorts of the Qin army who arrived with the fleet back then.

But after coming to this place, because Xu Fu sent henchmen, the ships in the fleet were scuttled, so that they could only stay in this place.

Some have died over the years, while many more have been married to the virgins of the party and have officially multiplied in this place.

Among them, along with most of them, they missed their hometown on the other side of the sea, but with no means of returning, they could only wait for the day of death to come.

They don't know how many times they've been through a battle like this. After all, many of these people who originally settled on this big island are hostile to them and even have all kinds of ill intentions.

Along with some of the boys who had grown up over the years, many of the men of those years had either died at the hands of these people, or they had gone out to make a living and had disappeared.

They, along with the liar Xu Fu who deceived everyone, knew very well that it was even more practical to go missing in this place than to die directly at the hands of the enemy.

Many of them were carrying weapons that they had brought with them. That's why the weapons in their hands are so notched and even rusty.

Even if some of them are blacksmiths, it is quite difficult to repair these weapons, let alone create new equipment, without enough raw materials.

And some of the stronger men had more weapons in their hands, and more of the armor on their bodies were stripped from their dead robes.

Many of them are angry, but they are more likely to turn a blind eye to the situation.

Because they know very well that the more people who can go to war, the longer they will be able to live, including their wives and children or children.

Yes, many of them have already put down roots in this place......

......

Gongyang Wu, it is said that his ancestor was the historian who wrote the "Legend of the Ram" (the full name is "The Legend of the Ram in the Spring and Autumn Period", but the saying of the Spring and Autumn Period is not available in this era). And he, who became one of the oldest boys of the year, came to this strange place.

Two years ago, he also married a virgin and had a daughter, but over the years, he was used to seeing this scene, killed many enemies, and experienced too many people's life and death partings, the only thing he didn't want was what would happen to his wife and daughter.

Fighting with your companions is the best way to protect them.

The Changge in his hand was the weapon in the hands of a hundred generals of the original Qin army, but after an uncle assigned this weapon to him in the battle a few years ago, he knew it...... He had to fight, because if he wanted to live, he had to do it.

Because Changge's handle was forged from pig iron, the worse weapons in the hands of these enemies were often only able to leave a mark on the iron pole and not cut off the opponent.

However, the blade and the blade were not as sharp as they were at the beginning, which made him very distressed.

He could only polish it again and again, and then use the stone to smash the crooked position straight, and when it would be directly destroyed, he didn't know, but he hoped that he wouldn't be killed by such a situation.

......

Ram Wu and several people took a short break behind the fence. Some of them were numb, while others picked up the bamboo kettle they tied to their waists and drank the water that they didn't know whether it was salty or sweet.

From the periphery of the bamboo tube, there was a blood stain that had not yet coagulated, indicating that the water inside had mixed with the smell of blood.

Other people who saw this situation didn't say anything, after all, such a thing is just a trivial matter.

In the last time, that is, before the winter of last year, in a defense battle that broke out again, some of them even had to bite each other directly with their teeth because their weapons were broken......

Many people have seen some people with the blood of the enemy still in their mouths, looking like a hungry wolf that has just devoured the enemy......

However, many more people will never be able to stand up.

So, they don't think that these somewhat "weird" water can't be drunk......

At this time, many people heard again the crossbowmen who were in charge of guarding the wall, and again shouted loudly: "The enemy is here again! Prepare for battle!!

Many people, silently standing up, holding the various weapons in their hands, climbed the rudimentary ladder again to the platform behind the fence.

And many people, looking around, saw hundreds of corpses or some seriously wounded and undead enemies, lying on the field outside......

And farther away, thousands of enemies who had been repulsed and had come back howled and rushed to where they were......

......

"Well, the captain knows, you go down and rest first. ”

Wen Le, who was wearing the equipment of a lieutenant of Liaodong County, knew what he should do after listening to the knight chief under his command convey Zhang Jiashi's order.

Although neither side seemed to notice them on the northeast side of the battlefield, he knew that it might not be long before he would have to lead his troops in a surprise attack.

For Zhang Jiashi, Wenle didn't have much feeling. But in his bones, he was convinced of the strong, and he knew very well that the person who could make his father feared was actually the military attache under the command of this person who was a little younger than him, and he couldn't resist or have other thoughts.

"Perhaps, as my father said, under the command of this young General Zuo, it is a good result. ”

Looking at the battlefield that was about to fight again, Wen Xu said such words in a whispered tone that only he could hear.
