Chapter 487 First Come 1.5 Million Shells to Scrub the Ground
Zhang Hao looked at the shout in front of him and smiled faintly. Turning his head to the stunned Gu Xingdong next to him, he said, "General, I will leave it to you."
Gu Xingdong stammered and asked, "This...how is this...how did you do it?"
Zhang Hao turned his head to look at the roaring soldiers, still smiling slightly: "I just told them the value of what they did! Some people may not be able to explain some truths, but everyone has a similar pursuit in their hearts.
That is: the pursuit of self-worth.
In fact, the biggest reason why the soldiers were angry was because they believed that the previous war arrangements did not reflect their value and were not worth their effort!
And I want to tell them that their expedition means a lot. "
Gu Xingdong was thoughtful, but after thinking for a while, he asked in a low voice, "What you said sounds reasonable. But isn't it a little... ahead of schedule?"
Zhang Hao rolled his eyes, you want to ask me if I'm fooling you! But Zhang Hao thought about it, and said: "As long as this war can be powerful, the general will be able to see the impact in a year at most. When the war is over, the general's feelings will be more obvious!"
Gu Xingdong nodded. Zhang Hao's affirmative demeanor convinced him a little.
Zhang Hao withdrew. Gu Xingdong immediately began to straighten out the army, and at the same time began to look for the rats who spread rumors. The rumors are so accurate, there must be a capable organization behind it.
Before the army was chaotic, Gu Xingdong had nothing to do; now that the army is stable, Gu Xingdong showed his coldness. In the evening, more than 300 people were found. Most of them were fooled by people. But more than 30 real mice were caught.
Then follow the vines, and by the end of the dinner, they caught a few core leaders.
For these things, Zhang Hao simply nodded after hearing this and didn't care anymore.
Early the next morning, the army began to get busy. A large amount of supplies were loaded onto the train, and some well-prepared legions also boarded the train and headed east.
Compared with yesterday, today's soldiers are less confused and complaining, and more generous and determined.
Zhang Hao still stood on a hill and observed. The train roared, and now there are more than 50,000 people waiting in line. Fifty thousand troops lined up, and tens of thousands of soldiers were helping to load goods and so on.
The train runs almost every half an hour, rumbling away, but the army doesn't seem to be decreasing. An army of 50,000, plus a large amount of military equipment, etc., requires nearly 30 train trips. A trip every half an hour is 15 hours, a whole day!
It is also fortunate that there are so many trains in Qixia Country, but even so, because a large number of trains have been dispatched here, the traffic in other places has been affected to a certain extent.
Now the speed of the train has increased to about 120 kilometers per hour. To go to the front line, we have to cross the country of Canglan, the southern end of the country of Shaoze, and the country of Beitang. Because of the twists and turns of the railway, the total journey is nearly 8,000 kilometers. It takes five and a half days to go back and forth.
Taking into account the loading and unloading of goods, personnel delays, and unstable road conditions, it will take six days.
But even so, the Qixia Kingdom's speed of troop deployment can be called a miracle. Regardless of the speed of the train at 120 kilometers per hour, it is not fast for a cultivator; but the mobilization of the army is usually not too fast.
Although it is a world of practice, apart from sneak attacks, the army's movements are relatively slow.
The speed of 120 kilometers per hour is already extremely fast for the mobilization of a large army.
After a while, Gu Xingdong came to Zhang Hao again. Looking at the scene at the station, he couldn't help feeling: "It really feels like a dream. It's only been two and a half years, and the changes are really too fast."
"This is just the beginning! Now Qixia Country's technology is developing faster and faster, and the changes will only be faster and faster in the future." Deep in his heart, Zhang Hao added: Wait a few more years, Dayang Group will come to you A Legion of Transformation Stage, just ask if you are afraid!
Gu Xingdong nodded, indeed: In the past two and a half years, the changes in Qixia Kingdom have been accelerating.
Watching another train leave, Gu Xingdong turned his head and asked Zhang Hao, "Zhang Hao, what do you think, we have just arrived at the front line, how should we fight the first battle?"
"What are our strengths?" Zhang Hao asked back.
"Strength..." Gu Xingdong thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Our strength is industrialization!"
Zhang Hao nodded: "Then fight an industrialized and mechanized war! Use machines to crush flesh and blood!"
"Understood!" Gu Xingdong's face was flushed with excitement, or excited.
As early as a year ago, during the Qixia Kingdom's war to unify the West, the Qixia Kingdom's legions had already begun to transform into mechanization. Over the past year, Qixia Country has not stopped changing clothes.
Different from other countries, the Qixia Country, and even the entire Fertile Land Continent of the six western countries (now completely unified by the Qixia Country), have always survived and grown in war. The pursuit of war, weapons, and military power here has been deeply rooted in the soul and carved into the bone marrow!
Not to mention that Qixia Country also has a super driving force - Dayang Group!
Although the Kingdom of Shaoze and the Kingdom of Canglan are also undergoing mechanized changes recently, there is still a huge gap between the legions of the Kingdom of Qixia.
Gu Xingdong took the train of the day and set off, leaving the deputy general to handle the affairs here.
Zhang Hao stayed here until the dawn of the next day before returning to the imperial capital, and delivered a perfect solution to the queen and the country-not only solved the emotions of the soldiers, but also guided the morale of the soldiers. Moreover, it also laid a theoretical foundation for the country of Qixia to participate in the war in the East in the future.
Regarding this, whether it was Liu Xinyu, the prime minister, or the others, or even the fledgling Inspectorate, they all gave Zhang Hao a thumbs up.
In three days, the first batch of elites from the Qixia Kingdom arrived at the front line - the dividing line between the Northern Tang Kingdom and the Southern Tang Kingdom.
Because the Xuanzhen Sect's Weihai Fleet was destroyed, the Southern Tang Kingdom, with the assistance of the Xiaoyao faction's Hailong warships, regained the original national boundaries, the original borders between the Southern Tang Kingdom and the Langya Kingdom. Naturally, the coastline obtained by the Northern Tang Kingdom was also lost.
Under the attack of the warships of the Xiaoyao faction, seeing that the coastline occupied by the country of Shaoze was about to be lost, Nangong Zhi was also a little anxious.
At this moment, the first batch of reinforcements from Qixia Kingdom finally arrived.
On the sea, the Pearl Fleet of the Qixia Kingdom and the Atlantic Fleet of the Dayang Group also arrived one after the other, and the two fleets took care of each other.
Now the Pearl Fleet has three Zhenyuan-class warships and six Iron Duke-class warships;
The Atlantic Fleet has 14 Zhenyuan-class and 14 Iron Duke-class warships;
The Xiaoyao faction's current Sea Dragon fleet is only 12 'black iron warships', all of which are 10,000-ton class. Facing the fleet coming from Qixia Kingdom, they had no choice but to temporarily avoid the edge and start to retreat.
In this way, Nan Gongzhi met the savior here in Qiongshan Port: Gu Xingdong, the commander of the Qixia Kingdom's Eastern Army, Shu Bennan, the commander of the Qixia Kingdom's Pearl Fleet, and Zhao Yuhang, the commander of the Ocean Group's Atlantic Fleet.
However, when the three of them saw Nangong Zhi, they were shocked. Nangong Zhi...was injured!
"I was attacked once by the killers of the Xiaoyao faction, and I almost didn't see you all." Nangong Zhi still had some fear on his face. This hero who fought on the battlefield was frightened by this assassination.
Gu Xingdong didn't say any nonsense, and asked directly: "General Nangong, do you know the opponent's military layout? We can go to war if we ask for it!"
"Now?" Nangong Zhi looked at Gu Xingdong and the others in surprise, "Aren't you going to take a break?"
Gu Xingdong smiled: "Our soldiers slept all the way to the terminal. These guys are in good condition now. Soldiers are extremely fast, and we must launch the strongest offensive before the other party responds.
When we set off, His Majesty said that we cannot embarrass the country of Qixia. We're here to win! "
Nangong Zhi's eyes suddenly brightened: he was most afraid of the army from Qixia Kingdom coming to fight soy sauce. Previously, Nangong Zhi and the think tanks also analyzed the possible situation of Qixia Kingdom's army. And the reason why Nangong Zhi asked Qixia Kingdom's reinforcements to rest for a day was because he wanted to see the other party's performance.
Unexpectedly, the reinforcements from Qixia Kingdom are so eager to fight, they will go to battle without even taking a sip of water.
Of course, from a military point of view, this is indeed the best choice.
After confirming again and again that Gu Xingdong was not joking, Nangong Zhi called his subordinates and shared the enemy's intelligence.
After reading the information, Gu Xingdong immediately shouted excitedly: "Little ones, set up the artillery. Give me 1.5 million shells first!"
