3123 Imperial Tiger (11)

Two hundred Aden naval warships, three hundred and forty transport ships, and sixty-five thousand soldiers carrying the first attacking forces of the Aden Expeditionary Force, like a huge spindle cracking the blue sea, finally appeared outside the sea of ​​Liucheng Port. Aden Army Marshal Kautes walked onto the ship's deck and looked ahead. Two days after only seeing the color of the sea, the outline of the land appeared in front of him like a black line.

"Marson Marshal, there is Meizhou Port, one of the six city ports in front of me. Our navy suddenly arrived. The other party must be in panic. If you order a large army to pounce, you will definitely be able to seize Meizhou Port in one fell swoop." A naval admiral of the Aden army stood upright behind Kautes and said with an excited expression.

"Liucheng Port Meizhou?"

Katus murmured in a low voice, his eyes sharply raised his head and looked at the noon sun in the sky, and then looked at the army soldiers who were eager to try. He smiled and said to the generals behind him, "Since the Gods let us see this port first, then what we do is follow the guidance of the Gods. I believe that the Gods need the swords that we wait for to show Zhongbiya what the majesty of God is called. Everyone should be welcome. Since the Zhongbiyas launched a massacre on me, the Adens, it is enough to prove that they are born evil and are the enemies of the Gods. Only the dead Zhongbiyas are considered good Zhongbiyas. Do you understand what I mean?

Carterus paused, and a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "In three hours, I will board this port, and I hope that by then, I will not see a standing Central Asian man."

As a field marshal, one of the top high nobles in Aden, Katís knew that the most taboo thing about the expeditionary army was the lack of morale. This time, the most terrible enemy was not the resistance of Zhongbiya in this expedition to Zhongbiya, but the inevitable low morale problem that the army was far away from its homeland. The best way to cheer up morale was to plunder. He carefully examined the map of Zhongbiya and knew that behind the Liuchenggang, there was an extremely vast land and countless wealth waiting for him. In fact, even if Liuchenggang did not launch a suppression of the Aden people, Katís would order a brutal plunder of Liuchenggang.

The reason is very simple, that is, the Aden army that came from the expedition needed food and supplies, because they used all the transport ships of the Aden Navy, and in order to spare the space as much as possible, the more than 60,000 people of the entire vanguard army only brought food for ten days. In other words, if the grain supply cannot be obtained within ten days, the more than 60,000 vanguard army will fall into a state of collapse.

"Yes, Marshal!"

Hearing Katus's orders, the generals laughed loudly, showing a look of understanding.

"Accelerate"

"Hurry up, you can eat meat when you run fast, and you can run slowly, so you won't even have any soup."

The Aden Navy fleet was like a chicken blood, moving forward, and the waves rolled. In the sun, it was like a white line moving at high speed. The spears on the transport ships were like forests, flashing in the sun, and the killing aura was as if they could only be washed away with blood. Lord Carterus was just cheerful. He knew that everyone had been frustrated at the sea for so long, and finally arrived in Central Biya. He had to vent it well. As the order was issued, the entire Aden army was boiling. Kill them all, snatch them all, leaving no living mouth, looking at the gradually clear outline of the city in the distance, thinking of the treasures piled up and down the city, countless beauties were waiting for him to take them, the Aden army's breathing seemed heavy, and their eyes were even red, fearing people,

"I'm so envious, why can't our navy go up?" The Aden Navy sailors were jealous of the generous benefits of the army.

"This is a moment destined to be written into the history of Aden"

Katus licked his lips, which were chapped by the sea breeze, and looked at the Aden soldiers who had rushed to the shore of the city with a sharp look, like an ant colony, with a smile on his lips. The beginning of the expedition of the Aden Kingdom of China's expedition was as simple as tearing a piece of paper. The maritime defense line of the empire of China's empire was as simple as tearing apart. The great elder of Yagren said in the report, "For thousands of years, the Zhongbi's people did not know what a maritime defense line is, and they had never taken any measures. In terms of naval combat power, China's nearly equal to zero. Such a huge country with no defense has no sea defense at all, which is really incredible, but this does not affect the fact that it is a piece of fat in front of our Aden Kingdom."

"I'll go and have a rest. Within three hours, don't wake me up if there is nothing important." Carterus said to his adjutant, turned around and entered his single cabin, and felt secretly proud. In the sea battle fifty years ago, the man as the commander-in-chief of the Aden fleet, after examining the countless wreckages of Nanxi warships burning with fire, he fell exhausted on the deck of the warship. This incident was proudly called "Okaru's Sleep" by the navy of the Kingdom of Aden. At this moment, Carterus believed that his sleep would definitely leave a brilliant mark in the history of Aden.

But unfortunately, Carterus had just closed his eyes and was immediately woken up by the sound of rapid footsteps outside.

"Sir!" The adjutant's anxious voice rang outside the door

"What's going on? Didn't I say, don't wake me up if there is nothing important?" Carterus groaned unhappy. He was such an ignorant adjutant. He should have listened to his colleagues' persuasion and replaced this rigid guy with a long time ago.

"No, it's a problem with the port!" The adjutant's voice was mixed with embarrassment. Unfortunately, Carterus didn't hear it. He stood up with dissatisfaction. He opened the door of the cabin and said sternly to the adjutant at the door, "I hope you can tell me important things, not the port, who fought with whom because of the plunder. If this is true, then let them fight. Isn't this kind of thing already common? As long as fifty die, the Shangguan of those guys will take the initiative to negotiate, because according to my Aden military law, only the Shangguan of the army needs to deal with the casualties of less than fifty people, and the casualties of more than fifty people need to be handled by themselves. The casualties of more than fifty people need to be reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs."

"Sir, what I want to say is not about internal robbery, but just news came from the port, there was an empty city in front of us!" The adjutant coughed awkwardly with a dry face.

Carterus was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, then called him a clever one, his face changed, and he quickly asked again, "What? What did you say just now?"

"I mean," the adjutant took a deep breath and said loudly with all his strength. "The port in front of him is an empty city, with nothing inside. Not to mention the Chinese people, they can't even find a dog!"

"Empty City!" Carterus' body trembled slightly, his eyes bulging, and he didn't even have time to wear his uniform, so he hurried to the front of the warship. Sure enough, he saw the flag uttered from the landing troops, shaking towards the fleet. The Aden soldiers who were supposed to be looting in the city were now sitting on the city streets. It was obvious that not only was there no one in the port, but there was not even something worth robbing. This was for the past

The Aden army, who was still passionate, was like a basin of ice water pouring down, and the soldiers were dejected, like frost hitting eggplant. The empty streets in front of them were invisible to see a dog, let alone the Zhongbiya people. The things in the house were either not worthy of dilapidated furniture, or they turned into pieces of broken items. What about the treasures in the city, and what about the beauty in the city?

"Our whereabouts may have been exposed." After the army generals returned, they came to Carteus one by one. How could the people in the entire port disappear? If they said they had not evacuated in advance, who would believe it? They had not landed here yet, and Liucheng Port had been evacuated so completely. In addition to indicating that the entire combat plan had been leaked, they could not find any other possibilities.

I'm afraid it's a big deal this time!

The army general who could be transferred to the first attack echelon, who was not a war-torn person, thought of a question that made them tremble when they discovered that the port city was an empty city. If other port cities were also empty cities like before them, then tens of thousands of landing troops would be exhausted, it would be a fatal problem. All transport ships participated in this transportation. In other words, during the round trip of the transport fleet, the landing troops were in an embarrassing situation of food shortage. Originally, this problem was solved by plundering the six cities ports according to the original plan. Now the most important part of the entire plan is missing.

"At most five days later, the army will be in a state of no food! Please make a decision immediately." The generals of the army surrounded Katus, with unconcealed panic on their faces. In order to confirm the situation, they even searched for villages near the city. The situation was exactly the same. There was no one left, and the whole area was empty.

"Give me peace of mind"

In full view of everyone, Katteus angrily knocked a cup of pearls to the ground. Countless pearls fell off, and streaming lights were drawn on the wooden boards on the deck. This was Katteus' favorite wine glass. It was an ivory base. From the surface of the cup to the base, there were at least 360 colorful pearls inlaid. This was the reward made by the current King Aden when Katteus was promoted to the Marshal of the Army. It was like a pearl that fell from the cup. The generals closed their mouths with ugly faces. Katteus angrily ordered the fleet to send warships to several other port cities to confirm the situation.

"Open the river port, empty"

“Baiyan Mei Harbour, empty”

"Kusu Port, empty"

The news confirmed by the ports made the Aden army fall from the craziness of happiness to almost collapse. The generals' faces became increasingly ugly. Carterus' lips were tightly pursed together. The generals were talking about it below. Who would have thought that the Liucheng Port would be empty? In Yagren's report, Liucheng Port is the most prosperous area in southern Central and B.A. With hundreds of thousands of people, a wide range of shops, and the ports with congested sea and trade ships from all over the country were in a mess. Occupying Liucheng Port was equivalent to snatching the economic lifeline of the Zhongbiya court. In the end, it was just a fight for money. Zhongbiya court lost the Liucheng Port, the biggest source of wealth, and it was probably difficult to organize resistance!

So what I see now? This is completely incompatible with the Six Cities Port mentioned in the report of the Great Elder Agren

"If we can't find food within five days, we will be in trouble. If we withdraw now, it should be enough, right?"

"What did you say? We came from all the way and ran back without getting anything? Then we are not just laughing at the stock, His Majesty the King will chop our heads."

"Conquering Central Biya is the national policy of the entire kingdom. Now I have encountered some accidents, so I don't believe it. The entire Six Cities Port has become blank!" Carterus's eyes swept across the generals' faces and pressed heavily on the table. Since the port cannot be found, the search scope will be expanded to fifty miles. There are so many villages and so many Central Biya people, I don't believe that they all run away!

At this moment, a guard hurriedly ran in and gasped and said, "Sir, I just received a report that our Navy Exploration Team was blocked in Longchang. Our Navy Exploration Team suffered more than a hundred casualties and had retreated to the sea to standby.

"Longchang!" Everyone stood up in the cabin that was temporarily used as a conference room. Even Carterus grabbed the guard with excitement and asked in a voice, "You just said that the exploration team was resisted in Longchang? It also caused more than a hundred casualties. How many people are there on the other side?" The number of people on the other side was about three or four thousand, and it seemed that they were the city guards."

The guard who reportedly said quickly, "And the exploration team said that Longchang Port seemed to be transporting supplies urgently, and the convoy had hundreds of vehicles heading towards the north road. Judging from the traces of the lost road along the way, it seemed to be a large amount of food. The exploration team was attacked on the side of the north road, which was very close to the coastline!"

"It's very close to the coastline, on the side of the north road, food!" These three elements, like refreshing wine, made Katteus' eyes lit up suddenly, just like a drowning man grabbing the life-saving straw. He immediately called someone to bring the map of Zhongbya and found the location of Liucheng Port on the map. Because it is the largest gathering area for Aden merchants, the description on the map is quite careful. Soon, Katteus found the road close to the north of the coastline on the map.

“It’s indeed very close to the coastline!”

"A such a large number of transport convoys are full of food, and the speed is impossible to be very fast. The road from Longchang north is more than 200 miles long. Apart from a large area of ​​forest, there is almost no place to hide." The generals also looked at the road on the map and looked at Katus. Now it was the wind of the northward current. In other words, if the fleet headed north, it would be able to catch up with this convoy transporting grain in terms of speed.
