Sun Chu frowned slightly and said: "It is now the end of August, almost September. Under normal circumstances, it takes about two months to sail to the South China Sea by sea. In addition to the training on the ship, running in, and avoiding the storm These all take time, and the reserve of supplies also takes time. Is it too tight for me to arrive in Guangzhou in three months?"
Shen Tianzi also nodded and said: "Yes, most of the five thousand troops have never been on a ship or experienced wind and waves. Even if they are trained not to get seasick, it will take several months. Besides, it will take three or four months." , can we defeat the current demon thief?"
Liu Yu looked at Liu Jingxuan calmly: "Don't you have 8,000 troops ready to go, who came all the way from Qingzhou by boat? They don't get seasick now, right?"
Liu Jingxuan suddenly understood and laughed: "More than half of them still have some reaction and will still vomit when encountering wind and waves, but with three or four thousand people, there will be no problem at all. If you really give the order now, the three thousand five hundred If there are people around, you can start right away."
Liu Yu softly said "Oh": "They are also the newly recruited soldiers and horses you recruited in Qingzhou. How come there is such a difference? Is there any reason?"
Liu Jingxuan said seriously: "Many of those who don't get seasick are recruited from places close to the sea like Laizhou. They were fishermen and boatmen before joining the army, so they don't get seasick. However, there are no soldiers recruited from places like Licheng and Linqu in the interior. You will still get dizzy after crossing the sea. They are the ones who still have some reaction in more than half of what I said. However, if these people exercise for another month or two, there will be no problem. Now it is only in strong winds and waves that seasickness and vomiting occur, which is normal at ordinary times. Our sea voyage is no longer hindered."
Liu Yu nodded: "Our fleet dispatches a hundred ships, with an average of thirty sergeants per ship. It is enough. A large number of ships still need to carry ordnance and supplies. Not too many, the demon thieves are in Guangzhou Without heavy troops, three thousand men are enough to take it down."
Gao Yunyan frowned: "I have three hundred boats, why only use a hundred?"
Liu Yu laughed: "Aren't you going to dispatch a hundred warships to clear the way for escort this time? It's the same this time. You don't need to dispatch all 300 ships. Leave about a hundred ships walking in the river. I'm facing the front here. The attack is still useful."
Gao Yunyan nodded: "I see, then should I follow the Guangzhou surprise attack fleet heading to sea, or should I stay here and listen to your orders, Commander-in-Chief?"
Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Over in Guangzhou, just let General Sun Chu and General Shen Tianzi take charge. Ah Shou, is your lieutenant this time still Pilu Daoxiu?"
Liu Jingxuan shook his head: "I stayed with Pilu Daoxiu in Qingzhou. He is a local and can suppress the local powerful. I also want to give him a try, so I handed over the defense of Qingzhou to Yang Muzhi. And Pilu Daoxiu also assisted him as his deputy. As for the troops I returned here, the deputy is Wang Mengzi, and he is still in command of the fleet."
Liu Yu frowned: "Is his injury healed? The last attack on the city fell into the hands of Heipao. I heard that he suffered a lot."
Liu Jingxuan laughed and said: "The injury has been healed a long time ago, and he is as active as before. This time he heard that he was going to fight monsters and thieves, so he came and followed him no matter what. Mengzi also grew up by the river before. He was a fisherman and had a water-based nature. Not bad, so this time when we go south by boat, he will be in charge most of the time."
Xiang Mihaha smiled: "Brother Ashou must be unable to get on the boat and vomited so much that he can't take command. That's why Brother Mengzi was asked to take command on his behalf."
