Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The 3778th chapter Jingkou battle (1)

On the other side of Jingkou, on the bank of Caoqu in the north of the Yangtze River, this is where the main force of the Zhou army's naval division mobilized from Tokyo is stationed. The commander Han Tong. ⊙ Vertex Fiction,

Han Tong stared at a pair of big eyes, with an unapproachable face, and said expressionlessly: "The Caishi navy plans to go out on the 9th day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifth year of Xiande, and launch an attack on the water surface of Jingkou on the tenth day of the lunar month. In the morning of the tenth day, Han Tong in Yangzhou will attack the enemy's east side together. They should try their best to break through the blockade of the Cao Canal and enter the river; , written by Guo Shao."

After Han Tong finished reading, he slapped the general order on the table and raised his head.

Looking back to the left and right, the two rows of generals turned their heads to look at him, except for him who was sitting alone, all of them were standing.

Han Tong asked, "What do you guys think?"

A general turned his head and said, "Fight!"

Han Tong nodded: "Don't make trouble again this time. If you want to beat me, be careful. Whoever will embarrass me again will let that surnamed Shi have something to say; if you do that again, I won't be so easy to talk to! Everyone, get ready right away, and leave early on the eleventh day of the Lunar New Year."

Another person asked: "What if the weather over there is bad or the wind direction is wrong?"

Han Tong said coldly: "Even if the world is under attack, the warship must be rowed to the river!"

...

In the camp of the Zhou army in the south of Jiangning City, there were only a few people in the tent of the Chinese army. Guo Shao looked at the few people sitting on the chairs. Li Chuyun was no longer there. He left in the morning to quarry and mobilize the navy. Guo Shao himself was also planning to go to the Caishi Water Village in the afternoon. This battle was very important, and he wanted to boost the morale of the soldiers on the navy ship.

"In case Wankou and Chizhou are breached by the Southern Tang army, the pontoon bridge at the quarry ferry can also be abandoned." Guo Shaodao, "As long as the Southern Tang army navy at Jingkou is eliminated, the Han Tong Department can join us, and we can also get reinforcements from the rear of our country from the Cao Canal, and then recapture the quarry; the ferry connecting the north and the south of the river will also have more Jingkou."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Wang Pu: "After I leave the camp, Wang Shijun will use the decision-making power of the Jiangnan Qianying Army Mansion to unify the land and road departments. Shi Yanchao, Dong Zunhui and other generals should follow Wang Shijun's wishes."

After hearing this, the generals cupped their fists and said, "Here." Wang Pu also nodded in response.

But Zuo You persuaded: "Since my lord has handed over the military power of the navy to General Li (Li Chuyun), there is no need to board the ship in person."

Guo Shaodao: "The officers and men know that I am in the naval army, and the battle may be more vigorous. This battle is of great importance, and will establish the victory of the battle to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty. Mr. Zuo doesn't need to persuade you anymore."

After a discussion among the people, Guo Shao got up and left his seat to leave the account.

Not long after, Lu Chengyong came out from the large tent of the Chinese army with a big sack twisted. He caught up and handed the sack to the old general Tan Shitou next to him: "This is something that the Lord has always used. Now General Tan has put it away."

Guo Shao turned his head and said softly: "You look after the woman named 'Wang Yao', don't let her be in any danger." He couldn't help emphasizing: "Wherever I usually go, I want you to follow, but this time I will keep you alone."

Lu Chengyong said: "The general will remember the Lord's instructions."

Guo Shao and a group of soldiers walked out of the camp of the Chinese army, and looked at the entrance of the camp from a distance. There was a group of soldiers gathered there, some of them didn't even have weapons. Zuo You followed Guo Shao's gaze and said, "These people are miscellaneous soldiers from the big camp. They will follow us to quarry and board the boat. In the morning, I heard Wang Shijun and General Li talking about this in the tent of the Chinese army. General Li took precautions against the bad wind on the ninth day and needed someone to row the oars. He was afraid that he would not have enough manpower, so he asked Wang Shijun to transfer people from the land camp. Wang Shijun found some strong civilians and other miscellaneous soldiers who could still fight. I guess it's not a big deal, so I didn't tell the lord."

"I see." Guo Shao nodded.

... The group of people gathered at the gate of the camp was just the miscellaneous soldiers summoned from the various departments in front of the hall.

In the banned soldiers of the Zhou army, the status of ordinary soldiers is not based on seniority, let alone age. On the contrary, those brave young and strong are the main soldiers, who rush to the front in the battle and have a higher status; there are also some soldiers who have been in the army for too long and have not been promoted.

Old man Li is one of them. He is actually only in his forties, but he has been living and sleeping for a long time, his face is full of wrinkles and wrinkles, and his temples are gray, so he looks older. He is called "Old Li". Old man Li is a miscellaneous soldier of the second command of the Third Army of the Huben Army. He has been in the army for nearly thirty years.

Soldier Yao Erniu is also the second commander, and he is helping Old Man Li with his things and sending him off.

"Go back, go back." Old man Li waved his hand.

Yao Erniu said: "You have to be careful." Although he didn't say anything, he seemed quite reluctant.

They were all warriors with little literacy, and their parting was not as elaborate as the officials, and their words were very simple. Old man Li said: "I'm a rower, and I'm hiding from arrows."

Yao Erniu was also a dull person. He touched his forehead, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around and said, "I haven't thanked Old Man Li for that."

"Hey." Old man Li smiled, "It's not easy for you to say that kind of thing yourself. It's different if it is passed from other people's mouths to Commander Zhang's ears. It's okay, go back, go back."

They were talking about Yao Erniu trying to hide behind on the Dangtu battlefield. Later, Yao Erniu was often ridiculed by the soldiers, reporting that he had captured enemy soldiers on the battlefield, but no one believed him...The old man Li told Yao Erniu's family affairs in front of everyone.

It turned out that the house that Old Man Li rented in Tokyo was not far from Yao Erniu's house, so he probably knew something about his house. It's just that Yao Erniu has not been in the imperial army for a long time, and he is also dull. He doesn't have much acquaintance with the soldiers in command, and he is not familiar with the old man Li... The soldiers felt a little sympathetic when they learned that Yao Erniu's family was only a young and strong man.

Commander Zhang Jiankui also changed his attitude towards Yao Erniu after hearing about it.

So Yao Erniu is very grateful to old man Li. In addition, he usually eats a lot, and Old Man Li often gives him an extra piece of cake as a fireman, so the two of them have a big age gap, but they have a good relationship.

Seeing that Yao Erniu had left, old man Li put his own bag on his back and lined up with the surrounding miscellaneous soldiers. At this time, a general came to lead the troops, and all the people followed the general to leave the barracks and go to the main road.

The light snow in the sky was intermittent, and the surrounding area was white, only the muddy road in the middle was dark brown, extending into the distance. The new journey is in the distance where this road extends.
