Chapter 764 Reinforcements From the Southern Barbarians

In Dongnae County, thousands of ships assembled here. The naval governor Yu Yunwen boarded a 1,500-bt Dafu ship, and the naval generals Zheng Zhilong, Li Sunchen, and Xu Sheng also boarded the ship.

The length of this huge warship is between 40 and 50 meters. It was already a giant in the era of wooden sailboats, and it can accommodate more than 200 soldiers and sailors.

Large-scale building ships that can carry thousands of people on the Yangtze River are not suitable for complex seas. The wind and waves on the sea will easily destroy the bulky large-scale building ships, and the sea sailing mainly depends on wind power, while the water surface of the Yangtze River is equally important for water flow, boats and wind.

The 120,000 soldiers and sailors of the Fubo Army were ordered to assemble in Donglai County.

"Our Fubo Legion finally has a bigger warship."

Yu Yunwen attaches great importance to this kind of big blessing boat.

The Fubo Legion called the 1,500-material Fuchuan the Big Fuchuan (eighth-order naval battleship, 47 meters), while the 400-material Fuchuan was called the Xiaofuchuan (the sixth-order naval battleship, 30 meters).

In addition to the big and small blessing boats, the Fubo Legion also has a large number of more flexible boats.

"The main force of the Liaodong Army has left Liaodong, and the Xia Palace ordered us to attack Koryo and southern Liaoning."

Yu Yunwen joined the Chutian forces for several years, but he has never participated in the war, because Yu Yunwen is good at water warfare, but he has no chance to show Yu Yunwen.

However, Yu Yunwen has been training the sailors silently, and the level of the sailors of the Fubo Corps has not dropped, with an average level of 65.

"Scouts found out that the Liaodong Army also established a navy in southern Liaoning to engage in trade from southern Liaoning to Korea."

Zheng Zhilong has been managing the navy for a long time, and he already knows that Mingguan has a navy.

In the territory of Mingguan, the trade between southern Liaoning and Korea also requires fleets, and Mingguan also has naval generals.

An official in charge of logistics said: "The Fubo Legion is ready to go to sea at any time."

"Attack southern Liaoning, find King Ming's fleet, and destroy it."

After the formation of the Fubo Legion, Yu Yunwen ordered the Fubo Legion to go to sea.

Thousands of ships, transporting 120,000 soldiers, sailors and handymen, left the port of Donglai County.

A large number of ships are like a hundred-mile city wall, sailing to southern Liaoning.

One thousand and two hundred ships covered the sea, with thousands of sails!

Teams of soldiers holding long daggers stood on both sides of the deck, well armored.

The bed crossbows and large bowls and mouth guns set up on the warships faced the sea.

Zheng Zhilong stands on the bow of the ship with great ambitions.

The Fubo Legion is a real army that raises soldiers for a thousand days and uses them for a while.

The amount of silver that the Chutian forces have poured into the Fubo Legion over the years has reached 10 million taels.

...

In the Xia Palace, Chu Tian personally went to Mangshan to deal with the powerful enemy Lao Qin, and Xia Liang stayed in the palace.

The news from Youzhou was very bad.

Old Qin was good at defending, while Mingguan was good at attacking, and the troops were divided into three groups, sweeping Youzhou and Monan.

Once Youzhou is occupied by Mingguan, the Chutian forces can only retreat to Hebei and the Central Plains.

Not only that, the loss of Youzhou caused a chain reaction, and most of Jizhou was in danger.

"The Liaodong Legion may attack Shanggu County, but there are only Xu Rong and Xia Houyuan in Shanggu County, so it is difficult to defend, and it may not be easy for Wei Qing to go..."

Xia Liang is frowning.

The threat posed by Mingguan is too great.

The situation in Liaodong is complicated and there are many tribes. They can't wait to enter the pass and loot the rich pass.

A few years after Jizhou returned to calm, the granaries were abundant, and many tribes in Liaodong coveted the wealth in the customs. Under the slogan of entering the customs, they became extremely crazy, especially the leaders such as Murong Ba and Nurhachi. Fatal attraction.

"Li Mu and others in Monan have to deal with Nurhachi's peak Eight Banners and Wanyan Aguda, and his number of generals seems to be insufficient."

Although the bonuses of Li Mu and Zhao She can cover all the cavalry in Monan, but the Eight Banners attack several directions at the same time, Li Mu may find it difficult to divide the troops.

The biggest threat still comes from the Liaodong Army in Mingguan.

When Chu Tian left the Xia Palace, he took away some generals of the imperial guards, but still left a few generals as spares.

Li Xiuning, the leader of the Detachment of Women, Huo Qing, the deputy governor of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, Jie Shika, the famous general of the Kingdom of Bohemia, Artoria, King Arthur, Bedivere, Knight of the Round Table, and others...

Huo Qing has two characteristics, Thirteen Generals Return to Yumen (S-level characteristic, when defending the city, the defense power of the defenders in the city +12%, morale decline speed -13%, defenders' mutiny probability -25%), Huangsha Bai Battle-piercing gold armor (S-level feature, when marching in unfavorable terrain, the impact of unfavorable terrain -25%, morale drop speed -10%), one is used for defending the city, and the other is used for marching.

Under the premise that there is a shortage of generals on all fronts in Chutian, two generals with practical S-level characteristics can already come in handy.

The Xia Palace mobilized all the generals, so Huo Qing also planned to participate in the battle.

"Perhaps we can transfer the guards from Hefei and Xuchang to Youzhou. The Jiangdong army did not attack Hefei, so Zhang Liao and Ma Yuan can go to Youzhou, right?"

Huo Qing knew that the situation of the Xia army was tense, and there was a shortage of generals in the north, and the main force was used to attack Guanzhong, so he proposed to transfer the generals guarding the Jianghuai River to Youzhou and Monan.

"Don't take risks easily. Those people in Jiangdong are not idle people. Now they won't attack Hefei City because we have deployed heavy troops and a group of skilled generals in Hefei. If we transfer these people from Jianghuai to Youzhou, we will It is certain that the Jiangdong Army will arrive at the city of Hefei in less than a month. The existence of the teleportation array allows the Jiangdong Army to easily mobilize troops."

Xia Liang knew how dangerous it would be for the Jiangdong Army to intervene in the Northern War.

The Jiangdong army is strong, not only good at water warfare, but also good at land warfare.

"The north is on the defensive, the current generals should be able to defend..."

"His Royal Highness, Mu Ke, the lord of the Southern Barbarians, asks to see you."

"Muke? Ask her to come in."

Xia Liang heard that Mu Ke, who controlled the Nanman area, was coming, so she asked Li Xiuning to bring Mu Ke in.

"What kind of monster is this..."

The imperial guards of Prince Xia's Mansion saw a general who was over two meters tall come in, and almost all the imperial guards looked up to this general.

Mu Ke brought a female general and this general who was over two meters tall into Xia Palace.

"I've heard that the northern war broke out... After the national war in the southern barbarian region, the tribes did not move, so I can borrow 10,000 to 20,000 elites from you."

Mu Ke was straightforward and explained his intentions.

The southern barbarian lord wants to intervene in the northern war.

"Qin Liangyu, do you still have Wu Tugu?"

Xia Liang knew these two generals from Nanban.

During the expedition to the Western Regions, Qin Liangyu and Wu Tugu also participated in the battle. As for Qin Liangyu, he was very familiar to the generals of the Xia Palace.

The Southern Barbarians and the Western Regions are actually members of the King Xia Alliance, but the Protectorate of the Western Regions cannot mobilize troops, and most of Mu Ke's place is deep in the mountains and old forests. As long as the relationship with the barbarians is properly handled, then they can mobilize troops.

"Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers and the sharp rattan-armored soldiers can be lent to you, including two generals."

"What do you want in return?"

"I hope that Huo An's status can be guaranteed when it merges with the Protectorate of the Western Regions in the future."

"I understand what you mean."

Xia Liang has a crush on Mu Ke.

The purpose of their departure is somewhat similar. Xia Liang’s purpose is to preserve Chutian’s foundation and at the same time confirm the status of his son, while Mu Ke’s purpose is to ensure that after the Western Regions Protectorate is reincorporated into the territory of the Han Empire, Huo An will still be Can be crowned king.

This is an equivalent exchange.

Xia Liang acquiesced in this exchange.

She lacks generals, Qin Liangyu is a commander in chief, and Wu Tugu is a strong general, their special troops, white pole soldiers and rattan armor soldiers are also elite, borrowing these two soldiers and horses is just a timely help.

"Qin Liangyu and Wu Tugu can go to Youzhou to deal with the Liaodong Army. The pressure brought by the Liaodong Army is too great. Do you have any questions?"

Xia Liang looked up at Wu Tugu, she estimated that Wu Tugu was nearly 2.3 meters tall, such a figure is simply a giant.

"His height doesn't seem to have peaked yet..."

Mu Ke said.

"How high is his force?"

"Currently 96, the peak is 98..."

"98? It seems that Wu Tugu is a hidden hero during the Three Kingdoms period."

Xia Liang was a little surprised. Wu Tugu's peak force had reached the level of Dian Wei, and he was already considered the number one general in Nanban.

However, the body shape of Wutugu is indeed a monster level.

In Wu Tugu's peak state, his height might be 2.4 or 2.5 meters, nearly one meter taller than ordinary soldiers. One can imagine the fighting power of such a giant.

"Going to Youzhou with Wu Tugu, the chances of winning are one point higher."

"You have to be careful. Although the rattan armored soldiers are not weak in combat power, the disadvantage of the rattan armored soldiers is that they are afraid of fire. Maybe some NPCs don't know it, but Mingguan must know it, so the rattan armored soldiers are best used in melee. At that time, the two armies will fight in a melee, and the other side will not be able to use fire, so the rattan armored soldiers will be able to play their role."

Mu Ke explained to Xia Liang the pros and cons of the rattan armor soldiers.

She has used rattan soldiers for a long time, so she knows how to avoid the disadvantages of rattan soldiers.

The rattan armored soldiers are indeed afraid of fire, but it does not mean that the rattan armored soldiers will be restrained at any time. Fire attack needs to be prepared in advance. On the contrary, even his own people will be burned together.

"How's the situation in the Protectorate of the Western Regions?"

Xia Liang ordered Li Xiuning to bring a tea tray and asked Mu Ke about the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Mu Ke and Huo An are husband and wife, so from Mu Ke, they can know the movements of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

If the Protectorate of the Western Regions has excess troops, Xia Liang might as well borrow troops from the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Mu Ke replied: "The expeditionary force of the Protectorate of the Western Regions should have invaded the Pamirs at this time, and the target is the Dawan Kingdom. If Wo Kuotai is allowed to occupy the Dawan Kingdom, the Guishuang Empire, and the Mughal Empire of India, Then the whole of Central Asia and South Asia will fall into the hands of Wo Kuotai, and Wo Kuotai will re-establish the Mongol Empire, so Huo An does not allow a powerful empire to appear in Central Asia and South Asia in the future, and there will be big troubles in the future, Wo Kuotai Kuotai may intervene in the civil war of the Han Empire."

"Pamir Plateau..."
