Horse on the World

Chapter 727 The Sound of the Blue Sea ([-])
Zhong Xiang turned his gaze to the two generals of the Marine Corps, "General Huo Qi, General Mu Chao, this cliff is really dangerous. The Navy cannot attack from this side, but the Marine Corps can!"

Huo Qi pondered and said: "If this cliff is really as steep as this model made by General Zhong, it will be extremely difficult. It is really difficult for soldiers to climb over it. The most worrying thing is that if the opponent puts some soldiers here , even if the number is extremely small, it will bring disaster to the sneak attacking team!"

Zhong Xiang said calmly: "I don't know if the opponent put soldiers here, but the steepness here is definitely not as steep as this model. Although the cliff is as steep as a knife, over the years, it is expected that some trees and vines have grown on this cliff. Soldiers will not have too much difficulty climbing up, as long as dozens of people go up and dozens of ropes hang down, we can at least send thousands of soldiers up."

Mu Chao shook his head, "Even if you can go up, you can't send thousands of people. You need more than a dozen boats to transport thousands of people. In this way, the ships are moving on the sea, and the opponent occupies the commanding heights. Even at night, there is a danger of being exposed. This is really a wake-up call to the opponent, I mean, if you can go, you can only select the best soldiers, and send two or three hundred people up!"

"What's the use of two or 300 people even if they go up?" Hu Bin said, "Isn't this a snack for the enemy?"

Mu Chao sneered, "The opponent's strength is far inferior to ours. What are we relying on? First, the fortress is strong; second, the weapons are sharp; third, there are sufficient reserves. It is indeed a snack for the opponent, but we can do something else!"

Zhong Xiang's heart moved, and he suddenly realized, "General Mu Chao wants to touch their reserves!"

"That's right!" Mu Chao said, "If the soldiers have no food, there will be chaos. If we can find a place where they store food and burn it up, I'd like to see how many people on Lianshan Island drink energy from the northwest wind." Can’t make it through? Starve him for more than ten days, maybe we don’t even need to beat them, because they are starving themselves.”

Zhong Xiang clapped his hands and laughed, "General Mu has a clever plan, a clever plan. In this way, we can win without fighting."

"You still have to fight, at least before the delivery personnel set fire to their reserves, you have to fight, and you have to fight hard. Only in this way can you attract the opponent's attention!" Mu Chao said.

"Okay, in this case, two generals, which one is willing to take on this important task?" Zhong Xiang looked at Huo Qi and Mu Chao.

Everyone couldn't help being silent. No matter what, this is a life of nine deaths and no life. Even if you successfully land on the island, you can successfully ignite the fire and burn down the opponent's reserves, but it is conceivable that when the fire breaks out, it is the moment when you are exposed , under the encirclement and suppression of so many troops on the island, there is almost no hope of survival.

Everyone wants to make meritorious deeds, but no one wants to make wedding clothes for others, let alone write his name first on the credit book, but he has become a dead body.

Looking around, Zhong Xiang couldn't help showing disappointment, no one was willing to come forward, "Everyone understands that this matter is basically a matter of life and death, but for the victory of the army, for King Ning Your Highness, we need such a person to stand up, and I don't want to force everyone, let's draw lots and decide, whoever catches this dead word will lead the team to go!"

"General Zhong, we are navy generals, so we can only command ships to fight?" Hu Bin retorted.

Zhong Xiang sneered, "Whoever is the general of the army, the Marine Corps also belongs to the navy. Everyone in the tent, including me, needs to draw lots."

His stern gaze swept over the crowd, and all the generals lowered their heads. Since Zhong Xiang himself was going to participate in the lottery, what else did the crowd have to say? It might not be his turn to be among the dozen or so generals in the tent.

In a short while, Zhong Xiang's lieutenant officer brought a tray with more than a dozen identical balls of paper in it. Zhong Xiang took a look at everyone, took the first to pick up a paper ball, and said sharply: "If I go, the whole army General Mu Chao will continue to fight!"

Unfolding the ball of paper, it slapped on the desk, but it was a new word. The Chinese military officer on one side couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and even Zhong Xiang felt a lot lighter.

Mu Chao opened the paper ball and put it in front of Zhong Xiang, "Health!"

One after another, paper balls were unfolded and placed in front of Zhong Xiang, all of which were new characters.There was only one left, which was tightly held by a person, his face was flushed, and his hands were trembling slightly.

"General Hu Bin?" Zhong Xiang looked over, and everyone looked over.

He stood up with heavy steps, walked in front of Zhong Xiang, unfolded the ball of paper, and placed it in front of Zhong Xiang. A black dead character stood out among a large pile of new characters.

"The Death Squad is selected by General Hu Bin from the whole army. Those officers and soldiers below the school lieutenant who are selected shall not be rejected for any reason, nor shall they not be handed over to General Hu for any reason!" Zhong Xiang sternly said.

"The final general obeys orders!" All the generals in the tent responded loudly, in the spirit of a dead friend who never dies a poor man, now that there is a top-up, who will he choose?Anyway, it is impossible to choose on your own head.

"Middle officer! Provide the best armor, the best weapons, and the best life for the team selected by General Hu. Whatever you ask for, understand?"

"understand!"

"During General Hu Bin's expedition, the command of the third battalion is temporarily handed over to Tong Zhipeng, the former deputy of General Hu Bin!"

"The last general obeys!" Tong Zhipeng stood up excitedly. Everyone knew that this was a job with no return. That is to say, from now on, he was the commander of the third battalion.

That night, all the generals under Zhong Xiang, except for Hu Bin, slept soundly.

After resting on the volcanic island for a day, Zhong Xiang's army immediately approached Lianshan Island. The volcanic rock island is only about a hundred miles away from Lianshan Island.

Deng Peng led the main fleet to leave, but Lianshan Island should still have some naval ships, but this fleet that should have existed has not been found yet, which made Zhong Xiang a little uneasy. This fleet was not found near Lianshan Island. So where are they staring at them, ready to pounce on them and bite them?

The so-called being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of well ropes for ten years, Zhong Xiang is indeed very careful with every step he takes. No one knows that the strength of this navy must be quite weak. In that defeat, didn't he have an absolute advantage in military strength?

Zhong Xiang carefully divided the division into three echelons. In the first wave, the second and third battalions acted as the forwards. He led the central army and the first two battalions in the middle. Each wave formed a strict battle formation during the march and entered within a hundred miles of Lianshan Island. Strictly speaking, every piece of sea here could become a battlefield at any time.

Although this reduces the speed, it is safer. Now for Zhong Xiang, time is not a problem.

Zhong Xiang's worries were not unreasonable. At noon, [-] nautical miles away from Lianshan Island, he finally found the opponent's fleet he was guessing.

A navy fleet consisting of more than ten warships of three thousand materials and twenty or thirty warships of thousand materials appeared on the left side of the fleet more than ten nautical miles away.

Seeing that the opponent finally appeared, Zhong Xiang couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that you would not show up. As long as you appeared, I would bite you. With your current strength, you are still not a fish on my felt board. It seems that you were huge at the beginning. The general guessed it right. In order to ensure that King Zhou could be sent to Dingzhou smoothly, Deng Peng went all out, so that an important base like Lianshan Island only left such a dilapidated navy to stay behind.

"Send a signal to Dai Zhicheng, the Fifth Battalion of the Tail Army. The Fifth Battalion will attack. After defeating this navy, it will join the main force and attack Lianshan Island together!" Zhong Xiang ordered loudly.The Fifth Battalion has two warships of [-] materials, more than ten warships of [-] materials, and various other ships, which are more than enough to deal with opponents.

A moment later, the Fifth Battalion, which was ordered to turn around, headed for the Dingzhou Navy Fleet, which was more than ten miles away.

It seemed that they saw that their opponents were much stronger than themselves. When the Dingzhou ships in the distance saw the Southern Army's fleet coming towards them, they immediately turned around and ran towards the way they came.

At this time, the wind was blowing in their direction, the strong wind blew up the sails, and the ships rode the wind and waves, moving extremely fast, and soon, both fleets disappeared from Zhong Xiang's sight.

Zhong Xiang was very relieved of Dai Zhicheng, one was that Dai Zhicheng was a veteran navy general, and the other was that the only famous naval generals in Dingzhou were Deng Peng and Zheng Zhiyuan. Meeting Deng and Zheng, Dai Zhicheng is absolutely sure to win.

In the Dingzhou Navy Fleet, the black eagle is sitting on the stern deck of a tall building, with a pair of long legs resting on the side of the ship, shaking constantly, one hand is stroking the big eagle beside it, and the other hand is Stroking his well-groomed beard, "Come on, son of a turtle, grandpa will send you to be the son-in-law of the Sea Dragon King and eat fresh seafood, hahaha!"

A soldier beside him was holding a string of small fish, throwing one to the big eagle beside Black Eagle from time to time, and jokingly said: "General, look at those turtles chasing so fast, I'm afraid they are too late If you can't grab it, you can become the son-in-law of the Sea Dragon King!"

Hei Ying laughed loudly, "These bastards came to bully me when I saw that I had few people. What did I do before, pirates! If I hadn't been caught off guard and escaped, General Zheng wouldn't have been able to catch me. Suffer me a loss. But, falling into his hands, it has become my good luck, otherwise, how can I be the current me?"

"That's right, our general is blessed and fateful, and we're about to make meritorious service and be promoted!" The soldiers laughed with him.

Hei Ying smiled wickedly, "Speaking of the hydrology and geography of the hundreds of miles around Lianshan Island, who do I know? Are these bastards bullying people with their boats? Wait a day or two, and I'll make you look good." !"

The Blackhawks set a big trap for their opponent in one place.
