Chapter 154: The Chang'an Ship and the White Bull
,
Yang Xingmi stared at the fleet under his command, and his heart was full of pride, and there was a great sense of intent that no matter how many powerful and incomparable enemy troops and rough waves there were, he could not stop him from killing to the edge of the sky.
Two years ago, the only three cruisers in the Lingnan Navy Division were still the magic weapons of the Navy Division, and they were always hidden in the battle array, and they were easily reluctant to take it out.
And now, the cruisers in the bay are lined up, like giant beasts on the sea, and at a glance there is a sense of no end in sight. There is no need to count at all, Yang Xingmi knows that there are now eighteen cruisers in the Lingnan Naval Division!
Two years ago, this was an unimaginable number, but today, Yang Xingmi feels that it is no longer a matter of course.
In the past two years, he has watched cruisers launch from the docks of the Haihe Yamen, and at first his hands trembled with excitement every time they were launched. But later, groups of cruisers appeared in the naval division water village, and there were no waves in his heart.
All he could think about was how to make good use of them to arrange their troops and maximize their combat power.
In addition to the eighteen cruisers, there are countless small cruisers in the naval division, and the reason why this "small" word is added, in addition to the size reasons, is mainly that these warships are also half-magic weapon warships, but there are not as many spirit stones and spiritual trees as the cruisers.
But even a small cruiser can now withstand the wind and waves at sea, and there is no need to worry about being blown over by a hurricane. Of course, the premise is not to encounter the kind of hurricane that manpower cannot resist.
However, even if it is that kind of devilish hurricane, Lingnan Haishi is not afraid, and now Haishi has a comprehensive wind and wave warning system - that is, there are so many major monks that they can be used as scouts.
At present, the Lingnan Naval Division, the small cruiser is the lowest level of battleship. The warships that did not have the Spirit Stone and Spirit Wood Array had all withdrawn from the Lingnan Sea Division. Therefore, the scale of the Lingnan Naval Division's expeditionary fleet has not expanded, and it is still 100,000 troops.
"General, Haihe Yamen sent someone to say that 'Chang'an' can already be launched, if there is no problem, this time they can follow us to the west!"
"What?'Chang'an' can go into the water?!" Yang Xingmi's face changed, "Take Ben Jiang to see it!"
"General, the fleet is about to go to sea, and you will need to preside over the ceremony later......" Zhou Ben hurriedly persuaded, "This last general can't be replaced, you still ......"
Yang Xingmi groaned slightly, "Okay, the ceremony can't be abolished, this expedition to the west is very important." You go to the Haihe Yamen now and keep an eye on it, and if 'Chang'an' can really be used, then let them follow the fleet later!"
"The last general commands!"
After Zhou Ben left, Yang Xingmi stroked the side of the ship, trying his best to calm his mind, but he still couldn't stop his agitation, as if he had returned to the time when he first saw the cruiser.
The reason is naturally very simple, the "Chang'an" type battleship is the latest warship developed by the Haihe Yamen, all of which are constructed of spirit stone and spirit wood, and its strength is just like that of a cruiser to an ordinary warship, or even surpassing!
Since the establishment of the ocean route connecting the Americas, a huge amount of cultivation resources have been continuously transported back to Datang, and the Haihe Yamen has been developing pure magic weapon warships. But it's not just a matter of resources, it's also a matter of technical challenges.
Not long ago, when Yang Xingmi went to the Haihe Yamen, Liu Zhiyan also told him that there were many problems that had not been solved, but he did not expect that in just three or four months, the other party would let "Chang'an" be successfully launched.
Thinking about the power of "Chang'an", it is difficult for Yang Xingmi not to be enthusiastic.
Two hours later, the Western Expeditionary Fleet had been launched, and Yang Xingmi finally waited for Zhou Ben's return. The other party was trembling all over, with a ghostly look on his face, which showed that he was not only excited, but really frightened by the Chang'an ship, and he was not lightly frightened.

General, it's done! The Chang'an ship is simply not like a thing in the world!" Zhou Ben said the answer that Yang Xingmi was looking forward to.
"This is very good, very good! With these two Chang'an ships, there is no reason why the Western Expeditionary Fleet will not fail to make meritorious contributions! I will go and see it!" Yang Xingmi immediately left the cruiser.
After really seeing the Chang'an ship with his own eyes, although Yang Xingmi was mentally prepared, he was still so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Because the Chang'an ship can not only sail on the sea!
.......
In Guanzhong, on the official road of Fengxiang Mansion, smoke and dust are billowing out, and a large army is marching in a hurry. Flags are waving, cars and horses are clustered, and the team is like a dragon, winding on the road, and there is no end in sight.
"Old Niu, this is the so-called land boat? It's really amazing!" Ergouzi, who was dressed in the uniform armor of the commander, rode on the majestic beast war horse of the divine horse, and pointed to the strange thing beside him and asked the cow egg.
It is said to be a strange object, but in fact it is also a baggage cart, but this kind of car as big as half a house does not need to be horse-pulled, and the wheels are not two but six, and two qi cultivators are on it, using spirit stones to urge the formation, "driving" it forward.
When moving, the whole body of the vehicle was bubbling with a faint aura, and the speed was not too fast, but it was comparable to the full strength of an ordinary strong man.
At the speed of a strong man running with all his might, how far does it have to be for a day?
"You don't understand this, this is not called 'boat', although it is bigger, but it is still called a car, I forgot the original name, but our Tiger Guards call it 'White Bull'. Niu Dan said that he is now the commander of the capital, and the second dog is his deputy general, that is, the deputy commander of the capital.
The commander of the Tiger Guard Army is Zhao Poyu, who was previously the protector of Anton, this time the Tang Dynasty went west, and the generals in the army all returned to their places and rushed to the Western Regions to fight with their elite troops.
The Tiger Guard Army is one of the other two elite and strong armies in the Chang'an Forbidden Army, in addition to the Wolf Tooth Army, which is composed of all monks who are at the realm of Qi cultivation cultivators and above.
When the two were in Anton, they were fortunate to get into the eyes of Zhao Poyu, and this time the army went west, Zhao Poyu transferred him to his command.
The Tiger Guard is not a pure cavalry, the soldiers will inevitably be slow to travel, and it is also very inconvenient to transport baggage, in order to solve this problem, the craftsman supervisor developed this kind of vehicle early, which was called "white bull" by the soldiers.
It was called this title because the soldiers felt that this kind of vehicle was as hard-working as an ox, and when the formation was activated, there was a faint white aura light emitting.
The white ox is not only used to transport grain, straw, ordnance and other baggage, but even the qi cultivators who are "ordinary soldiers" also sit on it and hurry, and they don't have to walk on the ground by themselves.
This kind of white bull of the Tiger Guard, with the fierce beast war horse marching on the official road, is naturally "a ride of the dust". A daily march of 300 miles is not a problem, which is six or seven times the speed of an ordinary army.
"Such a good thing is actually used as a mule cart, our Datang is really powerful now!" Er Gouzi let out a heartfelt admiration, "It's beyond imagination!"
Niu Dan said with a smile: "If this was placed ten years ago, I wouldn't dare to think that if anyone told me at that time that the army could march a hundred miles a day, I would break his head! But now, three hundred miles is not a problem, this is really a vicissitudes of life." ”
At this time, the two of them followed up and rode up, and the knight above smiled: "This is also our Tiger Guard, and the ordinary Chang'an Forbidden Army does not have such good conditions." A good horse with a good saddle usually means that when we go to the battlefield, we want to attack the city, fight the strong enemy, and play a key role. ”
Niu Dan and Er Gouzi turned around and saw that it was Zhang Zai, and the former smiled and said: "This is natural, it makes no sense that all the good things are given to us, but the evil battle is let others fight." ”
Talking, shooting

The second dog slapped his head, "This is a reminder to you, do you know? General Zhao said that since we appeared on the battlefield, it means that the face of war has completely changed, and the future army will be the world of blitzkrieg!
The second dog glanced at Niu Dan aggrievedly, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, Zhang Zai was used to seeing this kind of scene, and he didn't think it was strange.
He looked in the direction of the Western Regions, was silent for a while, and muttered with a distant look in his eyes: "Datang has such a strong army, is there still a border in the world?"
......
Zhang Changan doesn't know if there is a boundary in the world, he knows very well that life has a boundary, and this boundary is death. He looked at the Crescent Moon Sect Inspectorate monk in front of him, and his mind was thinking about how long the other party would live.
When he "escaped" from Ba'er Sihan City to Broken Leaf City, Zhang Chang'an, Sai Dianchi and others went straight to the largest Crescent Moon Temple Group in the city, and the stronghold of the Supervision Yuan was here.
As Sai Dianchi, he naturally quickly met the priest in charge here, and he anxiously explained the assassination situation he encountered, and angrily begged the chief priest to gather people and let him kill him back to the city of Barsi Khan and seek revenge from the Tang monks.
"The monks of the Tang Dynasty are so arrogant that they dare to come to the territory of the true god and assassinate me in the streets, the descendants of the great prophet! This is a provocation to the true god and the caliph! We must fight back, we must immediately give a powerful counterattack, and drive the Tang monks out of the city of Barth Khan!"
When Saidianchi said this, both in tone and expression, he behaved impeccably, fully expressing his annoyed and angry state of a nobleman - his performance was of course perfect, and on the way here, Zhang Changan had trained him many times.
Without any surprise, the presiding priest of the Overseer of Barasagon did not accede to Saidianchi's request. He is not stupid, he naturally knows that the monks of the Tang Dynasty will not stop in the city of Barsihan, and the Tang Dynasty is not here to attack the city.
This chief priest named Kusu Nading could also think that the Tang Dynasty's action of dispatching dozens of great monks and hundreds of qi cultivators must not be as simple as seeking revenge on Saidianchi.
He patiently persuaded Sai Dianchi to calm down and think carefully about the intentions of the Tang Dynasty with him.
The next day, the great monk sent by Kusu Nadine to the city of Barsi Khan replied with the details of the actions of the Tang monks that day. When he learned that many monks, including several great monks, had been captured by the Tang Dynasty monks, Kusu Nadine's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"The shamans who are great monks know a lot of things, and if the Tang people arrest them back, they will definitely be interrogated strictly, and I don't know how many secrets will be exposed!
"It is conceivable that some of our forces in the Black Khanate will inevitably be informed by the Tang Army, and judging from the current situation of our Supervision Yuan, the battle with the Tang Army, and the performance of the Tang people in Baer Khan City, they are likely to take greater action!"
Susu Nadine summoned the main staff of the Inspectorate of Broken Leaf City, and when he came to the temple to discuss the matter, he threw out this rhetoric.
He is the consul general of the Black Khanate's Supervisory Yuan, and if the strength of the Black Khanate's Supervisory Yuan is destroyed too much by the Tang Army, or if the situation deteriorates in the struggle against the Tang Army, it is conceivable that his situation is in such a situation.
It was at this time that Zhang Chang'an, who was following Saidian's naked side and attending the meeting as Sulasa, met the main figures of the Supervision Yuan.
Although the Inspectorate is in the Crescent Sect temple, they do not appear in front of people on weekdays, and the monks of the Western Regions Trading House can enter the temple pretending to be believers, but there are only a limited number of places to move around.
The specific class rooms and residences of the Supervision Yuan are not known to the people of the Western Regions Commercial Firm, and it is even more impossible to know which people are the monks of the Supervision Yuan.
