Horse on the World

Chapter 726 The Sound of the Blue Sea ([-])
On Lianshan Island, Deng Peng left all the marines, and Zheng Zhiyuan took half of them away. Now the remaining [-] people are the main force to guard Lianshan Island.After discovering the opponent's traces, Black Eagle and Zheng Zhiqiang jointly made a decision to abandon all small islands except Lianshan Island, move all the supplies on the island back to Lianshan Island, and distribute the troops on these small islands. After returning, the number of combatable troops on the island increased to more than [-], and after King Zhou left, the tens of thousands of survivors of the original Zhou Dynasty who were stranded on Lianshan Island were also organized into a logistics team for the two.

In Zheng Zhiqiang's words, Lianshan Island can't have a single idler at this time, and everyone must fight for their own lives.

The next day, when the two learned that the general of the Southern Army who attacked this time was their old opponent Zhong Xiang, they both laughed. The first glory of the Dingzhou Navy was built on Zhong Xiang. The troops wiped out the Bozhou Navy, and the entire Bozhou Navy except Zhong Xiang was wiped out. Even Zhong Xiang's son Zhong Li was killed in this battle.

It can be said that Zhong Xiang has a deep hatred with the Dingzhou Navy, and he has witnessed the rise of the Dingzhou Navy with his half-life name. Coupled with the revenge of killing his son, this time he has a more superior force and comes aggressively. You can also imagine with your toes how cruel the next battle will be.

"This old boy hasn't suffered enough yet!" Zheng Zhiqiang laughed, "Hei Ying, the time has come for us to become famous all over the world!"

"Teach the old boy another lesson, it's best, don't let him escape this time!" Hei Ying said with a smile, stroking the eagle on his arm. "General Zheng, I'm about to say goodbye!"

Zheng Zhiqiang cupped his hands, "Heiying, once you get into the water, I will be beyond my reach, and even if I have any thoughts, I can't fly to you. Take care! You will always exist, so we can reduce some of the pressure on us. Don't show your loyalty for a while. What a fool!"

Hei Ying was a little moved, and nodded, "Don't worry, you know I'm timid, and if I see something bad, I must run away! You have to stand up here, my new concubine and her belly I will hand over all the dolls to you, if you are gone, I really have nowhere to go, so I can only travel across the ocean and go to Taiwan Island to play the autumn wind!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, the black eagle raised its arms, the eagle on its shoulders spread its wings, circled in the air, and then landed on a warship on the pier, the black eagle clasped its fists and said, "General Zheng, we will meet again after victory." See!"

"See you after victory!"

"Take care of yourself!"

"Take care of yourself!"

On the pier, more than a dozen three-thousand-material warships pulled their anchors and sailed away slowly, while in front of and behind them, the clan surrounded dozens of thousand-material warships, left Lianshan Island in a mighty manner, and sailed away. to the distance.

It wasn't until the last shadow of the sail disappeared on the horizon that Zheng Zhiqiang turned back.

"Call all officers above Zhenwu Colonel Lieutenant and above, as well as officials in charge of logistics, to discuss matters in the council hall!"

The fortifications of Lianshan Island have already been completed, and now they only need to defend step by step, but without the cooperation of the navy, they can only defend passively, and cannot take the initiative to attack. The opponent will attack if he wants to attack, and retreat if he does not want to attack. There is no way.The only things that can be relied on are the sharp long-range weapons on the island and the powerful combat capabilities of the Marine Corps.But the islands in the distance, being isolated and helpless will affect the morale of the soldiers to a certain extent. Especially today, the last navy is also sailing away. I am afraid that many soldiers are already muttering in their hearts. Discipline, if you change to another army, the morale of the army will immediately lose.

Zheng Zhiqiang needs to unify his thinking and let all the officers know that they have only one way to go, and that is to fight to the end until the final victory comes.

On the vast sea, a huge fleet appeared on the surface of the sea. The flying flag of the Southern Army Navy and the big flag with the word bell showed their affiliation. Zhong Xiang was familiar with this seaway, and now he set foot on the seaway again. This waterway, the fiasco and the fire a few years ago still seem to be vividly remembered.

"Li'er, I will avenge you!" Zhong Xiang said in his heart.The disastrous defeat a few years ago, the sadness of the white-haired man giving away the black-haired man, is that Zhong Xiang is aging very quickly. He is less than 50 years old, but he looks like he is over [-], and his hair is all white.In that battle back then, although the opponent was as cunning as a fox, to a large extent, it also had a lot to do with his own underestimation of the opponent. This time, Zhong Xiang is confident that he will never make such a mistake again. The opponent has risen to a higher level.

"Return to General Zhong!" A school lieutenant walked into the main cabin of the [-]-year-old Bozhou and reported loudly to Zhong Xiang, who was bending over to look at the map, "The sentry ship sent a signal, and this place is still a hundred miles away from Lianshan Island. , have not found the other ship!"

Zhong Xiang nodded, and pressed his hand heavily on the map, "Send a signal to the fleet, the first battalion and the second battalion of the Navy will turn left [-] degrees, and go to attack Lantau Island and Xiaoyu Island first! The rest of the ships will follow me to attack the volcanic rock island. "

"Yes!" The captain replied loudly, turned around and left.

"Pull out your wings first, and then attack your core!" Zhong Xiang looked at the map and pointed out the landmarks of the offshore islands occupied by the Dingzhou Navy, "Everywhere you go, you will be oppressed by thunderbolts. Make you helpless."

Now Zhong Xiang does have such confidence. There are more than [-] marine troops in the fleet. This was established by the Southern Army following the example of the Dingzhou Navy. Like Dingzhou, it was also formed by mobilizing the most elite soldiers from the entire army. , The fighting power is amazing, plus his own sailors, the number is more than [-], and on Lianshan Island, after Deng Peng has taken all the main force, it is a question of how many soldiers can fight.

The huge fleet was divided into two, one headed for the large and small islands, while the other headed for the volcanic rock island.

Depart in the morning and arrive at the sea area of ​​the volcanic island in the evening. At this time, the sun is setting in the west, and the volcanic island dyed with a layer of golden light is like a golden monster, lying quietly on the sea without any movement.It seems that they did not see this huge fleet approaching.

Zhong Xiang stood on the third deck of the Bozhou, leaning on the side of the ship with both hands, watching his vanguard sentry ship start to land on the beach after tentatively launching a long-range attack. One kind, at a strange speed), the oars flipped, bringing a white wave on the sea surface, rushing towards the beach.

There was still no movement on the shore until the soldiers fighting for the stalls boarded the beach and rushed across the dam. Zhong Xiang immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when the vanguard fleet approached the shore, and a large number of marines rushed to the volcanic rock island and kept advancing, Zhong Xiang knew that there was no one here, and the opponent voluntarily abandoned these islands. The geographical location is not as good as the volcanic rock island, and there is definitely no one there.

The opponent is indeed very smart, broke his arm to survive, and concentrated all the army supplies to Lianshan Island, but what is the use of this?Zhong Xiang sneered and said, he just let himself spend some more time.

"When we land on the island, we will use the volcanic rock island as our base camp. From this base, we will attack Lianshan Island!" Zhong Xiang turned and entered the cabin.

On the volcanic rock island, some of the original fortresses were intact, and the long dams circled the island, protecting the entire island extremely tightly. Except for not seeing a single person, there was no trace of destruction on the volcanic rock island. It seems that the opponent did it intentionally.

"General Zhong, what does the opponent mean?" Hu Bin, the commander of the third naval division, looked at everything in front of him very strangely, "If the opponent retreats on his own initiative, all these facilities should be destroyed!"

Zhong Xiang's face was ugly, Hu Bin didn't understand, but he understood the opponent's meaning. The opponent didn't take them seriously at all. These fortresses are placed here, and they are not afraid of your use. In other words, In this battle, the opponents are confident that they will win. They firmly believe that they will not stay here for long, so they are reluctant to destroy these facilities that can be seen at a high price.

"I'll make you regret it!" Zhong Xiang breathed out.

As Zhong Xiang expected, the next day, the sailors of the first battalion and the second battalion returned. On the islands of Daxiaoyu and Daxiaoyu, they also rushed to nothing, and there was not even a ghost there.

Summoning the commanders of the four naval battalions and the two marine battalions to the volcanic rock island, Zhong Xiang began to arrange the next combat mission. The opponent has already selected the battlefield, so it is up to him to choose when to fight .

"I won't talk about the importance of the geographical location of Lianshan Island. This is why General Pang sent us here when he needed the navy so much. He is like a shackle, firmly Hold it on our throats, if we don't take him down, His Royal Highness King Ning won't be able to eat or sleep."

"However, generals, the people of Dingzhou have been operating Lianshan Island for a long time, and the defense of Lianshan Island is extraordinary. Although we have a great advantage in strength and maneuverability, it will definitely be a bloody battle if we want to take down Lianshan Island. !"

Clapping hands, a group of soldiers brought up a large sand table, and many generals couldn't help but exclaimed. This is a model of Lianshan Island and its surroundings, but it is only several times larger than the normal model.

Putting the sand table in the center, Zhong Xiang said in a deep voice: "Everyone, a few years ago, I was defeated by Zheng Zhiyuan, a bandit general in Dingzhou, on Lianshan Island. Die in battle." At this point, his voice choked up, but he raised his head immediately, "After this battle, I couldn't sleep at night, and what I thought about day and night was how to attack Lianshan Island again. Over the years, based on the information I collected , made this sand table, everyone please come and have a look!"

"Lianshan Island has excellent geographical conditions, surrounded by the sea on three sides and cliffs on one side. On the three sides surrounding the sea, the opponent has built a breakwater embankment, and the fortresses are as dense as a honeycomb. If we attack from the front, we will pay great casualties. I I think everyone is well aware that long-range weapons such as trebuchets and eight-ox crossbows made in Dingzhou have a much longer range and greater power than those made by our army."

"Besides, the stone cannons and arrows on our ship are weaker. Therefore, if we want to win, we have to think of other ways besides paying great sacrifices!"

Hu Bin pondered: "General Zhong, do you want to make a decision on this side?" His finger pointed to the only cliff.

(I have a cold, runny nose, very uncomfortable, annoyed~!)
