Chapter 1463 Night Attack
East China Sea, the baggage camp.
This battle was not a hasty preparation, but had been prepared for a long time. The baggage camp was built about ten miles away from the East China Sea dock. If it was too close to the coast, the materials could not be preserved and were easily discovered. More than ten miles were the limit.
A few years ago, a spacious official road was specially built, first building roads and then warehouses to ensure confidentiality to the greatest extent. However, with the means of this era, it is basically impossible to strictly guard against it.
The tighter the blockade, the more it will attract the attention of the Sang Kingdom's secret agent. All intersections are closed, and there are still a large number of people patrolling each day and are not allowed to approach. However, even if they are not approached, they can probably guess what is being built.
In addition to the supplies transferred from the Ministry of Revenue, the supplies camp also included supplies supplied from Lianshan Road and Liaobei Road, a large amount of weapons, armor, grain, and siege equipment, all in the supplies camp.
In order to ensure the safety of the baggage battalion, Wang Gendong discussed with Xin Jigong and dispatched 2,400 soldiers from two battalions to guard it, and Xin Jigong was responsible for the arrangements.
The Donghai Navy Dock, more than ten miles away, has been completed, and a large number of warships are docked in the dock for daily maintenance and maintenance.
Wang Gendong was busy all day and took his people to count the grain and food supplies he had just sent from Yuelai County, Lianshan Road. Liaobei Road and Lianshan Road are both important grain-producing areas, and these two places are enough to supply the army's food and grass supplies.
"General."
Li Yunbao, the personal captain of the soldier, walked up to Wang Gendong and handed Wang Gendong a pot of water: "Let's have a rest, it's been a day, you haven't eaten lunch."
Wang Gendong smiled and said, "The General is coming back soon. You can't see that the baggage camp is still messy. I just looked at it. The problem of storing supplies is very big. The team that delivered supplies came to unload the truck quickly, but this way, there was no good distinction. I was busy with these things all day today."
After drinking a sip of water, he said, "After all the areas are divided, the people below are still not very particular about their work. The weapons and machinery are classified into a warehouse, but they are not refined. As a result, weapons and equipment are mixed together. When they need to be loaded, they have to be distinguished again. Weapons are weapons, and equipment are instruments, and weapons must also be divided. Knifes are swords, guns and guns. They are stored separately. Only when they are used will they be free of chaos and quick."
Li Yunbao smiled and said, "The people who work are all young people. Young people just pursue a fast life."
Wang Gendong smiled and said, "I suspect you are playing hooligans."
Li Yunbao smiled and said, "Go back and rest for a while. It's already dark. If you don't have supper, you'll never be able to withstand it."
Wang Gendong glanced at him: "Bah, where am I old?"
The two of them were talking while walking back. The personal soldiers cooked a pot of noodles and served with a few pickled vegetables for supper. Wang Gendong and Li Yunbao each held a large bowl and ate it, and swallowed the noodles into their stomachs in a few seconds.
"You go and have a rest first."
Wang Gendong got up and moved: "You go on duty in the second half of the night, and I go to the warehouse in the first half of the night."
"yes!"
Li Yunbao responded and turned around and ordered his personal soldiers: "Protect the general's safety."
Wang Gendong smiled and said, "I haven't gone to war yet. If you have anything to do in the camp, you don't have to follow me. Half of them go to rest and half of them follow me."
The personal soldiers were divided into two teams, one team followed Wang Gendong back to the baggage camp. He had not stopped to rest for a whole day. Wang Gendong's legs were sore and sore. This means that he had never stopped exercising, and the cold people had developed such a habit. Otherwise, he would have lost a lot of physical condition at his age.
Before he knew it, Wang Gendong was already in his fifties.
"Baody supply is the guarantee of the war."
Wang Gendong said as he walked: "I have arranged for someone to continue to explain. Tomorrow, I will double the secret sentry in the camp, and the supplies will increase. If the San people sneak in, a fire will waste our hard work and be frustrated before the battle."
He was the most cautious and cautious general under Chen Leng's men, and he has been like this for so many years.
"Also, I just looked at it."
Wang Gendong stopped: "The two battalions of war soldiers transferred by General Xin Jigong were all infantry and had no cavalry. There were no cavalry in the Donghai Naval Dock more than ten miles away. It is logical that it is not necessary, but if there is any situation, it cannot be supported in time. If there is more than ten miles, it will be able to arrive in about a moment. Without cavalry, it will be more than twice as slow."
The civil servant of the logistics battalion was transferred from the Ministry of Revenue, Zhuo Yongchun, a fifth-rank officer, followed Wang Gendong and said, "The general has far-reaching thoughts, but when General Xin came before, he said that our warships were patrolling the coastline, and there were more than 2,000 war soldiers on the dock, so no cavalry was arranged."
Wang Gendong said: "It is better to be careful. The general once said that for war, no matter how much you prepare, no matter how much you prepare, no matter how much you prepare, no matter how much you prepare, no matter how much you prepare, no matter how much you prepare."
Zhuo Yongchun repeated to himself: "For life and death, no matter how much you prepare, there is less."
Wang Gendong smiled and said, "The general is different from others. When others prepare for war, the first thing they think is how to win, and the first thing they think is how to reduce casualties. In fact, there is no big difference between the two, but it will be far behind when they prepare."
He patted his chest: "For example, this heart protection mirror, and the general prepared for two years to build chain armor for the navy warrior brothers, all to reduce casualties."
Zhuo Yongchun asked: "General, do you also have a chain armor?"
"I have."
Wang Gendong smiled and said, "The general has prepared it, but I have given it to others. Young people are the main force of this war. A lieutenant will definitely kill more enemies than me. I am not young anymore. It is not that I dare not charge, but that I must not run faster than them, so it is more useful to give Chain Armor to young people."
Zhuo Yongchun was stunned. Wang Gendong was a third-rank general and actually gave up his chain armor to the young man.
They were chatting and patrolling the camp. The warehouse was brightly lit and there were many soldiers on duty in each warehouse. In addition, there were patrols patrolling every moment or so.
About one mile away from the camp, General Sang Guo Teng Huitai wiped the dagger in his hand on the corpse beside him. There were five war soldiers garrisoning here, which were observation posts outside the baggage camp.
It was because of the slackness that they did not expect the Sanren to come. Three of the five were resting and two were on duty, and they did not notice that they had been touched by the enemy.
Teng Huitai is a famous general in Sang Kingdom and one of the most brave and war-friendly generals under Takaihara. If he had not had enough trust in this person, Takaihara would not have handed him over the attack on the Donghai Naval Dock.
This is the most important battle, and it is about success or failure.
Teng Huitai learned martial arts since he was a child. He first became a disciple and learned swordsmanship under the samurai. Later, a wandering swordsman challenged his master. His master was killed. Not only did he avenge his master, he knelt down and begged the wandering swordsman to accept him as his disciple.
In this way, he studied with the Wandering Swordsman for seven years. His family was well off and he provided accommodation for the Wandering Swordsman and responded to his requests. Seven years later, his martial arts had surpassed the Wandering Swordsman, so he killed the other party without any hesitation.
At the age of 27 or 28, he was recruited by Takaihara and has always been entrusted with important tasks.
Tenghui raised his eyes and looked at the baggage camp, and could see teams of soldiers patrolling by.
"A moment or so, there will be time."
Teng Huitai ordered: "After the patrol team has passed, do you rush in immediately. Do you see there? The largest warehouse must be the grain warehouse, which is best to ignite there. No matter what happens or how dangerous it is, you must burn the grain and grass camp."
All of his subordinates nodded.
Tenghui said: "Don't worry about other places, just burn their food and grass."
He turned to look at his younger brother Teng Huizhi: "Your martial arts are not inferior to me, but your nature is too impatient. Before you come, you beg me to bring you. Do you still remember what I ask of you?"
Teng Huizhi is only twenty-three or four years old. He is ten years younger than Teng Hui. His martial arts are taught by Teng Hui too personally.
"Remember, don't pursue killing, but focus on tasks. No matter how many people you kill, it's meaningless if the task fails."
"Um."
Tenghui said: "You will lead the team in later, and I will provide you with support."
"yes!"
Teng Huizhi nodded, his eyes full of excitement.
"Brother, will the Dasang Empire definitely win, right?"
"Yes, the Dasang Empire will definitely win."
After saying this, he waved his hand, and the team wearing black night clothes lowered their bodies and moved forward quickly. The encirclement of the camp was surrounded by wooden stakes. As he gave a soft order, his subordinates with iron shovels quickly began to dig holes, paved out the wooden stakes, cut the hemp rope connecting the wooden stakes with a dagger, and removed seven or eight wooden stakes.
"Get in!"
Teng Huitai stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
Teng Huizhi was the first to rush in, followed by a crowd of dark people.
At this time, the patrol soldiers in the camp had just passed, and it was the space of the patrol team. But at this time, Wang Gendong came over with his personal soldiers and saw some dark shadows entering the camp from a distance.
"Who!"
Wang Gendong immediately shouted.
Teng Huizhi looked at Wang Gendong with only a few dozen people. He waved his hand: "Just come with me dozens of people, everyone else will set fires, move quickly!"
This is a sneak attack that no one in the Ning army expected. The Sang Kingdom's mission was still servile in Chang'an City. If the Sang people attacked at this time, wouldn't they be afraid that all their missions would be killed?
Tenghuita has been there for many days and has observed it for many days. He knew that at night, the warships patrolling offshore would be reduced by half. During the day, a fleet would pass by about half an hour, but at night, several ships would pass by in about an hour.
So he decided to take the risk and park the big ship very far away. Everyone came over with wooden boards, with the smallest goal, life and death. These people were all pirates and had strong water properties. But even so, at least one or two hundred people drowned in the sea. In order not to be discovered, the place where they got off the ship was too far from the shore.
"Sang Bing!"
Wang Gendong's eyes suddenly opened wide: "Let someone blow the horn to warn you!"
After saying this, he pulled his sword and rushed towards the Sang Bing. Zhuo Yongchun, who was beside him, was so scared that his face turned pale. He was a literati and had never fought with anyone. He first subconsciously took a few steps back, but after hesitating for a moment, he rushed forward with the sword he pulled out of his body.
The sword was just an ornament for him.
