Sweep the World

Chapter 292: : Always quiet before violent

   "Is it possible for the Jin army to land on the north shore?"

"The number of Jin troops on the other side should be around 18,000? Their navy had already assembled in large numbers, and it was checked that they had not loaded combat materials."

"What about the rest?"

"Our detectives conducted an in-depth investigation, and found no signs of the rear transportation of the Jin army."

There may be omissions in the investigation of the scout crossing the river, but the investigation of the logistics line is definitely the most careful, and indeed there is no increase in the transportation of the Jin army.

It does not rule out the possibility that the Jin army had prepared relevant materials long ago, but the scouts could not get close to the material hoarding point of the Jin army. They could only monitor the location and path of the material hoarding point of the Jin army as much as possible, and pay attention to the number and quantity of the heavy team. frequency.

In contrast to the night music on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the north bank of the Yangtze River is a sign of hard work. The fleet brought three thousand troops available for landing operations, and easily captured a place that could stand. In response to the plan, troops rushed from the Jianghuai area.

There were originally 10,000 troops from Jianghuai, but when it comes to the rapid march, it is bound to be unable to reach all of them. In fact, the large troops only arrived with 9,432 people, and the rest were left behind.

It’s just a rush march. If it is forced to march, there are definitely more soldiers who can’t keep up. It’s normal to rush down some people all the way. Usually they can only rely on them to catch up by themselves, and they will appear during the period. A large number of missing persons may be eaten by wild animals, or they may be lost or deserted.

The person who led the troops was Lu Tae. Among the original 10,000 troops, 3,000 people were from Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. Those who left behind were the troops of these three countries accounting for about 70%.

Ji Chang didn't have vocal music to entertain Lu Tai, only a serious face and some necessary details of the battle.

Lu Tai once again served as the leader of the road, with Sang Yu as the commander of the army. Their troops will only rest on Ji Chang's side for one night. After dawn, they will need to go to attack Jiangshui Temple and Jiangdu.

The Jiangshui Temple is one of the main river defense fortresses of Shijie Zhao State in the direction of Yangzhou. It was built along the river and also has city defenses on the other three sides. In a weak position, the outbreak of the war in Fanjiang Shui Temple is actually an offensive and defensive battle on land and water.

Jiangdu, like the Jiangshui Temple, is a fortress on the north bank of the Yangtze River as Shijie Zhao Kingdom. Perhaps Jiangdu’s strategic significance is more important than Jiangshui Temple? That's because Jiangdu is stationed in Shijie, one of the few navy ships of Zhao Kingdom, and the river is the only place where the Yangtze River enters Hangou.

What is Hangou? It is actually a canal connecting the Yangtze River and the Huai River. It was excavated by the State of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period. It was highly valued during the Eastern Han Dynasty and has been sorted and repaired many times. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the princes fought against each other, the canal was gradually abandoned, especially when Cao Wei was fighting with Sun Wu, the canal was actually not smooth, or it was re-governance in the Jin... Not big.

For the Han army, it is inevitable to attack Jiangdu first and then advance to Jiangshui Temple. This will also be the first time that the two land and water forces will be jointly engaged in joint operations.

Since it was the first time that land and water coordinated operations, Ji Chang was not absolutely sure that he could do it in one go. Lu Tai was also cautious about this. The two had to worry about whether the Jin army would cross the river for a battle. After all, If the Jin army ran in, the problem would not be a small problem.

Looking from the location of the Han army camp to the south bank of the Yangtze River, the nearby places are of course the Jin army who erected the camp. Looking deeper, there are occasional places where there will be scattered fire, but it is extremely bright at the foot of a mountain.

Of course there are some nobles and officials from the Eastern Jin Dynasty who are singing at the foot of the mountain, but Ji Chang and Lu Tai absolutely don't know, they just thought they were burning something, such as decaying human or animal corpses?

The commendable part of the Han Buddhism is not the sensuality, perhaps not the strength of the military, but the abundance and abundance of food.

After entering the camp, the soldiers of the Han sergeants who came from afar were first led to their camp to identify the location. Then they went to line up for necessary grooming, and then they lined up to receive hot food.

There are not few types of hot food, there are various types of plants, such as steamed buns, buns, buns made of wheat, millet, chestnuts, etc.; there is only one kind of vegetable due to conditions, which is the dried wild vegetables that have been developed; For meat, there are sheep, cattle, horses, and all kinds of fish; naturally, soup is indispensable.

The soldiers in the Han army headquarters are okay. They have long been accustomed to queuing to receive. They slowly take turns to receive the slots. The soldiers who are familiar with each other will talk in a low voice. There are almost everyone who talks about it. The success of the war seemed relatively easy.

The soldiers from the Korean Peninsula are very unaccustomed to queuing. They have always eaten fast and slow. Those who don’t get it can grab others. After they come to the Han Dynasty, they are considered to be restrained, but they are restricted to them. At the point of queuing up for food, whoever is robbed behind, as long as no one goes to complain, no one will see it.

The soldiers of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla are not from the same country, and their blood feuds are still a bit big. Before, because they left their homes, they could still hug each other due to the nature of the region, but later found that they did not suffer serious discrimination. Maybe And the deliberate actions of the Han Dynasty, the hatred in the hearts of the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms seems to be awakened again? This has led to constant friction between Baekje, Goguryeo, and Silla, which are relatively powerful on the Korean Peninsula.

With enough bonfires, there was no problem with the light, and there were soldiers with armbands on their arms walking back and forth between the lines in the line. Those people's armbands had the words "Picket" written on them, and they were actually the military police, but it's not that name now, it should be called Checkpoint.

Check, doesn’t the meaning of it mean restraint and prudence? Even though Puyi sounds a bit clouded with that name, it's really in place.

If it is in the rear, the Han Dynasty will allow Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla from the Korean peninsula to mess around, but it will not do if it comes to the war zone.

The soldiers of the Han Dynasty still distribute food according to the rank of the twentieth rank and position, and if there are badges with representative skills, they can also get extra preferential treatment.

The soldiers from the Three Kingdoms from the Korean Peninsula did not have any titles or badges, and the food they received was the most common rank of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

Since the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms from the Korean Peninsula are guests from afar, why not give special treatment? In other words, they are just mercenaries, whether they are sent voluntarily or forcedly, they belong to the non-Han tribe. They are employed by the Han tribe, and 10% of the seizures on the battlefield can be left. The Han tribe has paid the courts of the three countries in advance, so the contract that should be fulfilled by both parties has been completed. If there is a distinction, why should there be discriminatory treatment for people who are not one's own?

"Gongsun Hong has always complained." The person Lu Tai said was the heir of Gongsun Leopard and the highest officer of the Baekje mercenary. He sneered and said: "After being rejected by us, he said that we don't have the tolerance of being a Chinese."

Don't get me wrong, when Gongsun Hong said that there is one country in China and one person, he refers to the country of the central government, but not anything else.

From the perspective of the countries on the Korean Peninsula, the vast Shijie Zhao Kingdom could not touch them. Murong Yanguo retreated after a single fight, but the reputation of Zhengshuo in the Eastern Jin Dynasty tended to be weak. They may know that the Han tribe only occupied Qingzhou, but the Han tribe has been fighting endlessly since it landed on the 1st peninsula. It can be used to beat Goguryeo under the pit, or it can teach Baekje, who has been promoted to the leader of the 1st peninsula, for a long time. It's a fact that I was beaten down by the friction.

What does the army rely on to maintain order? There is no humane military laws and military laws. That is no matter whether the headquarters of the Han army or the mercenaries from the Korean Peninsula, there is no iron and blood to talk about. People who dared to disobey the military order were arrested and killed several times, and no one would try the law again.

"Let the mercenaries take the lead tomorrow." Ji Chang said it for granted: "They are for this."

Lu Tai responded without hesitation: "Just so."

On the next day, fog appeared around the Yangtze River, resulting in poorer vision as the two sides of the strait were closer to the waterway.

Under the thick fog, if there are ships crossing the Yangtze River at this time, you can probably only judge from the sound of the water how many and from which direction.

It hasn’t been long since the Han army came to the edge of Long Sword, but it was not ignorant that there would be thick fog in the morning~www.wuxiamtl.com~ You know, the Han Department now has everyone. Since the army is coming over, how could it be without prior notice? What about gathering intelligence?

Both armies are doing the same actions. They have arranged enough guards on the banks of the Yangtze River. As long as there is a slight movement on the river surface, they will ask questions. If they don't answer, they will definitely call in crossbowmen to cover it.

The morning sun in the east had not yet risen, and under the sky white as a fish belly, bursts of drums first sounded inside the Han army camp, and soon afterwards, the drums of the Jin army camp also sounded.

This way, there is nothing wrong. The rules of when the army of Huaxia Civilization should greet the soldiers to wake up from their sleep are almost the same.

As the sky became brighter and brighter, the fog became thinner and thinner under the sun, and it didn't take long for the fog to dissipate. The two-sided guards on both sides of the strait can look at each other from a distance across the river. Most of them are curious. Looking at each other, no one was silly and yelled hello.

Perhaps due to the serious influence of water vapor, the smoke from the pots for cooking and cooking will be much more than usual. The amount of cooking smoke rising to the sky in the camps on both sides of the strait is very large. While it is densely packed, the water mist has just dispersed. But there was a layer of cooking smoke.

At that moment, Ji Chang and Yu Bing were both standing on the shore, and they did not notice each other's existence.

Ji Chang was watching the early morning scenery of the Yangtze River and felt that the country was picturesque.

On the other hand, Yu Bing looked at the Han army's camp with complicated eyes, and from time to time he looked at the ships that were anchored. (To be continued.)
