Chapter 971 Delivery

The Capital Camp.

It is composed of five sub-camps. Except for the original North and South Camps stationed in Yancheng by the First Army, the other four armies are distributed in the four corners of Yancheng.

At the same time when the Royal Palace’s personal army was renamed the Central Army.

These four camps began to be built. Now, the Second to Fifth Armies are all stationed here.

When Yang Feng left the Royal Palace, he delivered the order of the King of Yan to the Second to Fifth Armies.

"Make up the bedding immediately, check the musket ammunition, and go to the station to wait for departure!" In the Second Army Camp, Bai Shang summoned the generals and issued orders in a hurry.

After Qin Shan and Guan Tong went to the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army to serve as generals.

Lu Chang and he were in charge of the former First Army and the Second Army respectively.

Although there was no change in the position, the generals in the army knew that the First Army and the Second Army had a higher status in the Central Army than the other three armies.

To be able to lead these two armies, it is natural that the King of Yan has deep trust.

"Hehe, this kid Lu Chang is going to jump up and down. He has no part in this war." The generals under his command left one after another, and Bai Shang smiled triumphantly.

The most important duty of the First Army is to guard Yancheng.

The severity of this war is obviously not to the point where even the First Army has to be dispatched.

Usually, when Lu Chang sees him, he always shows off his identity as the commander of the First Army.

Now, he can only swallow his anger. This is called gain and loss.

Thinking of this, he left the general's mansion with his hands behind his back, inspected the camp, and urged the generals and soldiers to set off.

Under the war order, the entire Second Army camp was busy.

The soldiers rolled the bedding into tofu blocks and carried them on their backs, and took the Qin-style rifles.

The team leader went to get ammunition and dry food bags and distributed them.

The well-prepared soldiers marched to the station in flag units.

The artillery put horses on the mounted breech-loading field guns and pulled them to the station.

At this moment, the station was as busy as the military camp.

The stationmaster called back all the railway staff who were resting to help the army board the train.

They stopped the steam train that was about to depart and refunded the tickets for the passengers on the train.

Some staff connected the spare steam locomotive head and carriage.

When the Central Army soldiers arrived, they immediately guided the soldiers to board the train.

Soon, a steam locomotive was fully loaded with soldiers.

The whistle blew and the steam engine went towards Jinzhou.

In addition to the steam locomotives loaded with soldiers, the station also vacated the steam locomotives that pulled coal and hoisted the field guns one by one.

This time, the support personnel and equipment and baggage were set off at the same time.

Yang Feng led the military officials to help dispatch and command at the station.

Seeing the magnificent scene of thousands of troops rushing to the battlefield in front of him, he burst into tears.

Now, he is over sixty years old.

And in these sixty years of life, most of the time, Dasong was shrouded in fear from the north.

But since he came to Yancheng, he has never felt this fear again.

On the contrary, he firmly believed that the King of Yan would lead them to completely wipe out the Northern Di one day.

Now, the soldiers riding steam locomotives are rushing to the battlefield in high spirits.

The artillery carried by steam locomotives all confirm this.

They have not yet launched the final attack on the Northern Di, not because they do not have the ability, but because they are waiting for the right time.

It only takes two or three days for people and equipment to cross the army of 1,200 miles. How can the Northern Di resist?

"Hunk, hunk..." One steam locomotive after another slowly left the station.

Yang Feng raised his hand and saluted the soldiers in the carriage.

The soldiers saw it and saluted in return.

The soldiers in the carriage looked young, but they were all veterans.

The war was about to come, and they were not afraid at all, but their eyes were shining with excitement.

At the same time as the Central Army took action, a telegram also arrived in Jinzhou.

Yang Zhen received the order and immediately dispatched 50,000 Xuanwu troops to the station.

He was disappointed that the Northern Di did not launch an attack in the direction of Ningjindusi.

The Northern Di cavalry that came to harass them were just false bait.

But they had to defend themselves.

The Northern Di fell into a state of hysteria, and all the Northern Di people were now soldiers on the battlefield.

The elite of the Tongniu Wang tent on the opposite side went to Yinshan, but the old, weak, women and disabled who stayed behind could also kill people with weapons.

The two armies came to support.

In just one and a half days, the first car full of soldiers from the Central Army arrived in Yongcheng.

After another day, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army also arrived.

In the next few days, steam locomotives arrived one after another.

They first dropped the soldiers on the east bank of the Jin River, and the soldiers then arrived at the west bank of the Jin River by boat, and finally assembled near Yongcheng.

Chang Wei arrived one day earlier than the supporting army by steam locomotive.

He also learned about this support operation through Ma Han.

"If it continues to get cold, the narrow river channel will be able to run horses in six days at most." Chang Wei looked serious in the temporary command room in the Yongcheng government office.

Ma Han, Chen Hu, Bai Shang, Huo An and the generals of the Xuanwu Army all gathered around him.

After a pause, he continued, "This time, the Northern Di marched south in large numbers to cooperate with the Westerners to besiege Dasong. The Suzaku Army and the Qinglong Army of Yunzhou and Jiaozhou have already confronted the armies of Jiaozhi, Piaoman and other countries, so there must be no mistakes in the north, so as not to distract them and cause everything to go wrong."

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

Ma Han said, "The Northern Di came at the right time this time. We can settle all the old grudges and recover the northern grasslands by the way."

With a hint of envy in his eyes, he said: "The navy has already captured Luzon and Nanzhanzhou. Our army cannot make any achievements and just watch helplessly as the navy's people race around Nanzhanzhou and make a fool of themselves."

"That's right. In terms of merit, our army has fought more battles than the navy. Now they have taken advantage of everything. We must take advantage of this time to counterattack the enemy's siege. We must show our prestige and go out to expand our territory for His Highness. , This grassland is not inferior to Nanzhanzhou at all, it is still close." Bai Shang turned to the generals and said.

"What General Bai is saying is that the boys at the Naval Academy now dare to walk with their noses in the air in front of our students at the Army Academy."

"Let them see the power of the army this time. Won't they just capture Luzon and Nanzhanzhou? Not only do we have to capture the grasslands, but we also have to fight all the way to the north. To the south, we'll capture Jiaozhi, Piaoman, and all this shit. Clean it all up together." Huo An agreed.

When the other generals heard this, they all laughed and geared up.

Chang Wei suddenly snorted and said seriously, "Everyone of you, pay attention to unity. The navy is also Dasong's army and is our brother!"

Seeing Chang Wei's serious tone, Bai Shang and other generals immediately put away their smiles and returned to their normal faces one by one.

"But the navy guys are really getting their tails up. It's time for them to see how our army fights." Chang Wei suddenly changed the subject.

"Hahaha..." The generals laughed at the same time.
