Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 448 Soldiers enter Guangling
The river was rippling, and dozens of large ships were sailing rapidly on the water, stirring up white waves. There were also many merchant ships from wealthy families on the Huaihe River.There are many guards on the merchant ship to guard against scattered water thieves on the river.

With the chaos of the world, every warrior is constantly sharpening and growing in the fighting, and in just a few years, he can grow into a master of strength training.Apart from joining the army, the only way out for these samurai is to seek refuge in various aristocratic families or wealthy families as guards, in order to obtain resources for cultivation.

When the world is stable, a single life is a major case that shakes the village. Many poor families or local tyrants with inheritance can only practice hard behind closed doors, and dare not act at will to avoid committing crimes.However, in the early stages of training, physical training warriors pay the most attention to stimulating blood, and fighting is the best way to stimulate blood.

Only hard work without shooting, and without the tempering of blood, a true master will never be born.But when the world is chaotic, human life is worse than a dog, and there are wars where you kill me and I kill you everywhere. For ordinary people, this environment is an endless hell where life is worse than death, but for fitness warriors, it is survival of the fittest. The best environment for rapid growth.

As the saying goes, heroes come out of troubled times.indeed so.

The body training warriors in Yangzhou are basically absorbed by the army and the county soldiers. The world is in chaos. It is the best place to call poor families with no background and local heroes.

However, more than half of the samurai who were born in Xuzhou were recruited by aristocratic families in various counties and counties, and less than one-fifth of them took refuge in Tao Qian.

The guards on these merchant ships and the descendants of the aristocratic families saw dozens of warships in front of them, and their expressions changed drastically.Most of them came from aristocratic families in Guangling and Xiapi, and a small part of them were merchant ships from Yangzhou.

"It's the Yangzhou navy! The Yangzhou army is going to attack Xuzhou!"

"The Yangzhou and Xuzhou armies have been confronting each other in Zhongli for so long, and finally they made a move. Fortunately, the Yangzhou army has strict discipline, so there is no need to worry about the goods being robbed!"

"General You is my hero in Xuzhou. If we can really capture Xuzhou, it would be great to drive Tao Qian away! Hehe, speaking of Tao Qian, he is from Danyang, Yangzhou, and became a Xuzhou herdsman. But my hero from Xuzhou went south to Yangzhou Became a Yangzhou shepherd... This is really unpredictable in the world!"

"Hey, the world is in chaos today, and all the heroes are rising together. If you are not strong, you can't protect the people under your rule. Mr. Tao is good at governing internal affairs, but it's a pity that the military is not his specialty. In the future, even if the right general does not come, other princes will come. Attack! It’s better to let the right general occupy Xuzhou, at least he is from our Xuzhou!”

The descendants of the aristocratic families on these merchant ships looked at the warship ahead and talked secretly.He even hoped that Gao Cheng would capture Xuzhou, so that he would no longer worry about the princes of Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Qingzhou attacking him.

Standing on the deck, Gao Cheng heard what these people said with his ear magic power, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face. "It seems that the aristocratic families in Xuzhou do not reject my army!"

His original plan was to capture Guangling County, then move troops into Yuzhou to defeat Yuan Shu, temporarily repel the enemies of Xu and Yu, and finally concentrate on dealing with Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

Now it seems that it is not bad to attack Xuzhou first.But then Gao Cheng changed his mind and gave up this tempting idea.

Starting from Yangzhou to fight for hegemony in the world, the first territory to seize is Huainan and Jingzhou.Now Huainan is in hand, leaving Jingzhou.Jingzhou is the key point of the world, connecting Wuhui in the east to Bashu in the west, and the Central Plains in the north.If Gao Cheng didn't take this place as soon as possible, the enemy would form a naval army from here in the future, and go down the river, directly threatening the vital points of Yangzhou.

The speed of the warship was extremely fast, and it left those merchant ships behind in less than a moment.Time is like water, passing quickly on the way of marching, and it is a day in a blink of an eye.

In the early morning of this day, a misty mist rose up, like a cloud, covering the entire water surface. Even a soul refining master who had entered the second level and the five senses were extremely sensitive, he could not see the scene in the distance.

As the sun gradually rose, the mist on the water gradually dissipated. Dozens of warships turned around a bay, and then suddenly opened up in front of them, the originally very spacious river channel.Like entering the sea.The water waves ahead are vast and endless, as if entering the sea.

"My lord, Hongze Lake is here!" Lu Su said.Xi Zhicai, Zhou Cang, and Dong Xi followed behind him, looking towards Hongze Lake.

Hongze Lake is the largest lake in Xuzhou, covering one-fifth of Guangling County.Xi Zhicai is from the Central Plains. He has never seen such a vast lake, so he couldn't help but look at the scenery on both sides.

"Such a big lake is a good place to build a water village to train the navy! Tao Qian didn't use it for military training?" Xi Zhicai sighed.

Lu Su sighed slightly: "Mr. Tao only has the ability to defend the land, but has no ambition to pacify the world. Therefore, there are many soldiers in Xuzhou, but there is no sign of forging ahead."

"As far as I know, Mr. Tao fought against the Qiang people in Liangzhou under the command of Sikong and Zhang Wen a few years ago. During the battle, he burned a part of his potential to increase the power of spells, which caused damage to his lifespan. Perhaps this is his The reason why ambition wears off."

Lu Su knew all kinds of things in Xuzhou very well, so he explained a few words, which made Gao Cheng and Xi Zhicai suddenly understand.

After another half a day, the water surface in front became narrow again.Hongze Lake has two exits to the east, and the south exit leads to Baima Lake, which is close to Huai'an.The north is the main trunk of the Huai River, which flows directly into the sea through Huaiyin.

"Yuan Dynasty! When we get to the city of Huaiyin, would you like to be the vanguard and take the city for me?" As the army gradually approached the destination, Gao Cheng set his sights on Dong Xi and began to lay out the next siege plan.

Now in his 20 army, only Zhou Cang and Dong Xi are the only generals at the Lian Gang level. Among them, Zhou Cang, as the commander of the Chinese army guard, cannot move lightly, and Dong Xi can only be the general who charges into the battle.

Dong Xi was fierce and courageous by nature, and he was a natural general to fall into battle.After hearing Gao Cheng's words, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly promised: "The subordinate is willing, don't worry, my lord, I will definitely capture the city! If not, come and see me!"

Gao Cheng laughed loudly and said, "Okay! Your courage is commendable. In this case, I will appoint you as the former general of the army. As soon as the army arrives, attack the city immediately!"

……

On the city wall of Huaiyin, more than ten thousand soldiers from the county that had just been recruited had fear on their faces, as if they were in imminent disaster. passed it on.Now the whole of Guangling knows the news that the Yangzhou army is suppressing the border.

These people on the city wall are the soldiers and horses drawn up by the Huaiyin county magistrate who urgently recruited strong men. There are more than 1 people, and only 2000 have combat experience.
