I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 161 Landing Operation
"What uncle said is very true."

Gao Shilian was taken aback by Zhangsun Wuji's sudden enthusiasm, and then he sighed: "It's been so many years, I've heard this familiar title again."

Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji are relatives, and several of them are close.

However, there were differences in being officials in the same dynasty, and the two gradually became strangers. For many years, they were called by official titles, and they were never called by relatives.

At this moment, he heard Changsun Wuji's "uncle" again.

As a person in power, I used to be under one person, but now I am above ten thousand people, and I feel lonely and alone.

This uncle made him burst into tears
"Uncle?" Changsun Wuji felt deeply sad when he saw his uncle weeping, but it was not from the sincerity of his heart, but to facilitate the cooperation of this discussion to achieve the goal.

"Okay, these are all details. When the world is unified, my Gao family and your eldest grandson's family will rule the world together."

"Uncle's words"

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a while, he never expected to hear such words.

Gao Shilian waved his hand: "I believe you know what I mean very well. The world is in chaos for a long time, and we must set an example. Since the Sui Dynasty, this world should not belong to his Li family!"

"Uncle, even though that is the case, the situation is critical now. Lingzhou seems to be unable to stop our hundreds of thousands of troops, but in fact, the opponent's 20 troops are comparable to our [-] troops. How should we deal with such a disparity?"

"Hmph! No matter how good the equipment is, it still needs warriors to use it. What is needed on the battlefield is living people, not a group of useless people who have nothing to do but rely on weapons."

Changsun Wuji sighed secretly in his heart, this uncle really underestimated Qin Mu, he was still intoxicated in the glory and prosperity of that year in the previous battle.

"The opponent's artillery is unknown, but the iron-clad ship at sea has completely blocked the exit of Beisha City. According to rumors, Lingzhou has recently developed a [-]mm artillery, and a flying boat that is smaller than an airship but extremely fast. thing, we have absolutely no means of knocking it down.”

Hearing this, Gao Shilian sneered: "Even so, so what? Qin Mu, an idiot, sold us artillery and explosives, and even opened the recipe for low-grade gunpowder. Now we can produce them, and small-caliber artillery can also be produced. Production, such a stupid move, I never thought he could do it."

Speaking of this, his face became more and more ferocious: "If I can catch him with my own hands, I will smash him into thousands of pieces to vent the humiliation of defeat that day!"

"Don't worry uncle, this day will come soon."

The two were discussing when they suddenly heard a noise outside.

Ong buzz!
The chaotic voices were accompanied by the shouts of the servants of the mansion.

"What happened?"

"Quick, go and see!"

Changsun Wuji hurried out and asked his servants.

However, a group of people trembled as if they were in fear, pointing in the air, their lips trembling when they spoke.

"It's an airship"

"airship?"

Changsun Wuji raised his head, only to see four small black dots quickly across the sky.

"That's not an airship!"

Gao Shilian also walked over, and immediately judged at a glance that this thing must be the latest aircraft developed by Lingzhou.

"This is the thing called an airplane that Qin Mu created. It was tested a long time ago, but it was only exposed today."

"The production speed is so fast, this thing should be difficult to manufacture, right?"

"I don't know, but with Qin Mu's company, such a plane may be manufactured in just a few days!"

Since the appearance of airships in the last battle for the throne, everyone has discovered the importance and power of aircraft for warfare.

Entering the enemy's camp is like entering the land of no one.

Flying through the air, dropping bombs killed countless people, but there was no way to fight back.

The height of the airship is nothing, but the plane in front of him is obviously several times higher than the airship in terms of height and speed.

The strange thing is that the plane just passed by but didn't attack, and I don't know why it was flying towards the north?
Changsun Wuji suppressed everyone's panic, and returned to the room with Gao Shilian.

"Uncle, I'm afraid these four planes are there to deliver letters!"

"I think so too. It must be supporting the garrison troops in North Korea. It seems that Qin Mu is planning to blockade that side."

"No, he has already implemented a blockade, and now he is just intimidating us, but with only four planes, it is too arrogant!"

Having said that, you have to accept the reality.

They can't deal with this kind of thing at all, let alone fight, they can't even catch up.

If the bomb had been dropped in mid-air just now, the entire Changsun Mansion would have disappeared immediately.

"Uncle, there is no time to hesitate, we must speed up the progress, gather the army to Songzhou, and prepare to attack!"

"Okay, I will report to His Majesty immediately and open the passage!"

At the same time, Youzhou.

Qin Mu's subordinate regiment headquarters, the 350th Eighth Regiment, and the garrison troops received an emergency order to cooperate with the naval forces to take Cangzhou and directly take Laizhou and Dengzhou to establish a coastal blockade, and defend to the death!
Such an order is tantamount to taking the target and defending it to the death.

As the head of the 350 Eighth Regiment, Wood Yun frowned.

He didn't want the soldiers to die, because if he wanted to win Dengzhou, he had to attack from Cangzhou, and there was Haozhou in the middle.

And Haozhou was heavily guarded by the imperial court. Relying on the vast sea and land, a large number of fortresses were arranged to form a defensive line.

Moreover, there is only one road in Haozhou leading to the inland, and behind it are Cangzhou, Weizhou, Qizhou, Qinshan, Qingzhou, etc. Five or six continents can deploy troops to support at the same time, and there is no need for any backup defense, because the areas behind are all It is possible to use the direct waterway of the Grand Canal to transport a large number of people and materials.

But Youzhou can only choose Haozhou as the entry point with the Taiyuan army, and has no choice!

"The order of the troops has been passed down."

On the side, Wen Cheng's voice was low, and he knew very well that this would be a tough battle, and many people might die on his side.

"Has the navy notified you? How do you respond?"

"Notified, they said that emergency deployment has been carried out. In addition, the ships will directly sail to the outer waters of Tianjin Port, and then use small boat troops to land and directly attack Cangzhou. I hope that we can take Haozhou as soon as possible so that The army attacked Cangzhou from the front, forming a two-line attack posture."

"Landing operations?"

Wood Yun couldn't react suddenly, the troops were changing with each passing day, and new troops popped up from time to time, and he didn't have time to get to know them slowly.

Wen Cheng was very clear and immediately explained.

"Mr. Wu Qian, this landing force belongs to the Marine Corps, that is, the Marine Army, which is responsible for attacking the ground from the sea."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Wood Yun's eyes lit up: "Okay, very good, immediately respond to the friendly army and tell them that we will take Haozhou as soon as possible, but we hope that the naval forces will support artillery coverage from the sea."

"They also said this. Artillery support is fine, but clear instructions are needed to prevent accidental injury."

"Well, isn't there semaphore and flags? Let's use these two as the basis of communication."

"Yes!"
