Horse on the World

Chapter 215 Fubo sets sail
Winter is coming and spring is coming, the harsh cold wind is gradually going away, and the sun is not as pale as in winter. On the yellow grass, a little bit of bright green is quietly sticking out. It is not clear from a close look, but it is far away , you can see that the undulating land is mottled, with patches of green sandwiched between withered and yellow, as if putting a floral dress on the earth.

The spring breeze is blowing and the sun is shining brightly. This is a good day for spring, but in Dingzhou, people obviously don't have such thoughts. Dingzhou has explored far into the grassland and controlled the attack on the grassland throat. It intensifies with the arrival of spring.

Lu Dalin didn't care at all that the barbarians would attack Shanglinli. For the barbarians, Shanglinli was basically invincible. The fortification here was the strongest and most insidious city defense structure that Lu Dalin had ever seen since joining the army. .What's more, there are enough soldiers in Shanglin, who can advance to attack and retreat to defend.

"Everyone, so let's go to the forest. In the upcoming battle with the barbarians, we will definitely not become the main battlefield. According to the judgment of the Marshal's Mansion, Bayar's greatest possibility is to send a team to contain us, so that We can't rush into the depths of the grassland. And their main attack direction must be in Dingyuan, Weiyuan." Lu Dalin glanced at the generals under him, and said with a smile: "So, everyone, what can you do to resolve this situation, um, What I mean is that we can be more proactive, support Dingwei's frontline forcefully, and reduce the pressure on Dingwei's defense line, let's talk about it, there are more people and more power, maybe we can come up with some good solutions."

"General Lu, we have tens of thousands of horses in the upper forest, and the majority of cavalry is extremely mobile. As long as the opponent is not Lang Ben and Long Xiao, we can take the initiative to attack, defeat the opponent, go further into the grassland, and threaten Baya I don't believe that Bayar can calmly attack the Dingwei line." Deng Ketao, a member of the Shenwu Battalion of the Lu Division Cavalry, said loudly.

Lu Dalin clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You are right, but the commander predicts that most of the people who will restrain us will be Hu He's wolf-running army. The wolf-running army has about [-] people, and they have the upper hand in terms of strength. Besides, the commander-in-chief meant that he didn't want to cause too many casualties, even if we could defeat Hu He's wolf-running army, the commander-in-chief would never agree."

Deng Ketao said in embarrassment: "General Lu, this is very difficult. It is almost impossible to defeat such a powerful enemy without major casualties."

"Let's wait and see! Generals, in the early stage of the war, Dingzhou's strategy is to hold the front line firmly. With each strong city as the center, establish defense centers one by one to wear down the opponent's strength and patience. People who exceed the defense center must Withdrew back to Dingzhou City, within a hundred miles from the front line in Dingzhou, the walls were solid and clear, so that the barbarians could not find a grain of food or any supplies that could be used." Lu Dalin smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief said, we first Trade space for time, and wait for the best opportunity.”

"The best time?" Many generals don't quite understand when is the best time, "General Lu, if the Wolfrunning Army cuts off the connection between us and Fuyuan, then our logistics supply will be in trouble .”

"It's impossible to completely cut it off." Lu Dalin said: "He can only harass, small-scale harassment won't do much, big troops attack, hehe, Hu He is so stupid, he really dares most of his troops to cut into me Between Linli and Fuyuan, I don't mind having a fight with Fuyuan's Yang Yidao."

Lu Dalin looked at the surrounding houses extending along Shanglinli City, but he thought of Fuzhou Hailing, who was about to set off from Fuzhou Hailing, the mountain-moving master who passed the mountain wind. The big knife stabbed in the back will make the barbarian unable to look at each other from head to tail.In Dingzhou, the Xidu plan is only known to high-level people and those involved in the operation of the plan. Even these generals at all levels, from the top to the general, do not know that there is such a huge plan in progress. This is why Li Qing The reason why Dingzhou is strongly required to be on the defensive in the early stages of the war.

Fuzhou, Hailing.

Compared with last year, Hailing's appearance has changed a lot. The entire Hailing Wharf has been requisitioned by the military, civilian merchant ships have to find another place, and the navy camp has expanded several times compared to before. It still looks crowded, because Jiang Heiniu's Jianrui Battalion has 5000 people crowded here. They will be the first army of the Yishan Division who has passed the mountain wind, the forward.

Standing proudly on top of the brand-new [-]-material flagship Fubo, Deng Peng looked down at the five [-]-material ships in the port. The ones parked at the original civilian pier were star chasing and electric chasing, and there were more than a dozen large ships with three thousand materials, and the remaining ships of various types densely filled the entire port. very crowded.

The things the commander promised him are becoming reality one by one, which makes Deng Peng very grateful, and even has the idea of ​​dying for his confidant, owning a powerful fleet has always been his dream. The thing I asked for, now my dream has come true, at most one year later, there will be five large ships of [-] materials launched. At that time, the strength of the navy was unimaginable even to Deng Peng.

Since the navy started anew and regained its strength, the pirates on some islands off the coast of Fuzhou either surrendered or fled to the depths of the ocean. Anyway, they wanted to avoid the sharp edge of the navy. , the two unruly pirates, who thought they still had a few brushes in the naval battle, were wiped out under Deng Peng's powerful blows. What made Deng Peng even more happy was that during these In the novel, he reshaped the navy's military prestige, improved the morale of the soldiers, and let a large number of recruits see blood and fire, thus quickly completing the transition from rookie to veteran.

The soldiers of Jiang Heiniu's Jianrui Battalion are marching to the large ships in an orderly manner. These 5000 people will be the first batch of personnel to go to the west. After them, Deng Peng will transport the entire mountain-moving division of Guoshanfeng In the area controlled by the Shiwei people, the personnel are okay, but the huge amount of equipment and war horses is a problem that makes people scratch their heads.They will be on the sea for at least a month, and it is really hard to say how many of these many war horses will survive to the ground.

Lieutenant Yin Hua rushed to the top of the Fubo and saluted Deng Pengmo: "Commander, the commander will arrive at the Navy Wharf soon."

Deng Peng hummed, "Go, cheer up the boys and prepare to meet the commander!" Looking at the back of Yin Hua leaving in a hurry, Deng Peng felt a little emotional in his heart. Finally, there was a layer of knot in his heart, and he could never return to the close relationship between the two of them in the past, and Yin Hua also obviously felt this, and he became more and more respectful to himself, but there was a gap between the respect. It shows the alienation of the relationship between the two.In the past, Yin Hua often went to his own house to grab a meal, but now, it seems that there is no such thing as a courtesy visit.The two of them no longer talked about everything as before, but talked more about business matters.

Deng Peng sighed silently, that's fine!After returning to Dingzhou for so long, Deng Peng also has some understanding of some things inside the Dingzhou Army. Yin Hua's alienation from himself may be in the hands of the core of the Dingzhou Army.However, Yin Hua got too close to Director Qingfeng of the Statistics and Investigation Department. Although Deng Peng was upright, he was also an old man with a long history of ups and downs. It is not a good thing for an army general to be too close to the leader of the dark world in Dingzhou. Maybe it will bring disaster to him at some point, do you want to remind Yin Hua?Thinking about this question, Deng Peng walked along the gangway to the deck. At this moment, there were bursts of horseshoes and evasive shouts from the pier. Looking at the Li character flag that was approaching rapidly, Deng Peng quickened his pace and temporarily put this question behind him.

"See you, Commander!" On the pier, the army was headed by Guo Shanfeng, the navy was headed by Deng Peng, a large number of generals clasped their fists and bowed, and the busy soldiers on the navy pier also stopped their work and turned around. Facing the direction where Li Qing was, he saluted him respectfully.

Amidst the loud laughter, Li Qing got off his horse, stretched out his arms to hold the two generals, patted Shanfeng on the shoulder, nodded, without saying anything, but turned to face Deng Peng, pointed at the warship in the port, and said with a smile: "How is it? My Commander Deng, are you satisfied?"

Deng Peng excitedly said to Li Qing: "Commander, Deng Peng never thought that in his lifetime, he could command such a powerful fleet across the sea and cut through the waves. , Let the Dingzhou military flag fly above the ocean forever."

"Good!" Li Qing nodded appreciatively.

"Is everything ready?"

"Back to Commander-in-Chief, the logistics supplies were loaded yesterday, and they are ready to go. After half an hour, Jiang Shen will all board the ship, and we will set sail." Deng Peng said.

"Jiang Hei Niu!" Li Qing shouted.

Standing behind Guo Shanfeng, Jiang Heiniu stepped forward in a big stride, bowed and said, "Commander, Hei Niu is here!"

"Have you cleared up the mission of this trip?"

"Understood!"

"You are the vanguard, and we are also showing our military power to the Shiwei people and promoting our great Chu national power. Therefore, your trip is first to help Mingyan complete the quelling of Shiwei's internal strife, and secondly, to let the Shiwei people deal with it." We are afraid, in order to achieve these two goals, I have equipped you with the best armor and the sharpest weapons, will you let me down?"

“黑牛愿拿脑袋担保！”

Li Qing laughed, "What do I want your head for? You must complete these two tasks before most of General Guo arrives. I hope that the day General Guo arrives will be the time for us and Shi Wei's coalition forces to attack Congling Pass. "

"Don't worry, Marshal! The final general will definitely be able to complete it!"

"Go!" Li Qing waved his hand.

Deng Peng led a group of navy generals and Jiang Heiniu saluted Li Qing, turned around and boarded the ship.

The sound of the horn sounded, and above the tall mast of the Fubo, the signal soldiers desperately waved the signal flag, issuing a series of orders to the ships in the port.

Standing on the pier, Li Qing watched rows of heavily armed soldiers standing on the third-floor side of the Fubo ship. As the Fubo slowly left the pier, the ships in the port followed one another. He left Hailing and headed for the far west.
