Chapter 524: I originally went to Ping'an Capital, but I will definitely return home in peace and victorious (Second update)
Gao Zhang, Yao Pingzhong and others were galloping towards Yangcheng Lake.
The target is Yangcheng Lake, which is about ten miles northeast of Suzhou City.
Mingyue and the others were asked to test the kerosene bomb developed by Gao Xuanfu.
Although everyone thinks that there is no need to test this thing, it is not enough to be used on the battlefield.
Can you take advantage of the child prodigy champion, coupled with Gao Zhang's energetic expression, the power of this thing is stronger than the kerosene bombs currently used by the Song Dynasty.
It really aroused the curiosity of a group of people, but by the time everyone was halfway there, it started to rain.
Even if it rains in the east, it can't dampen Gao Zhang's enthusiasm to test new weapons for the appreciation of those great Song warriors.
In the continuous rain, the group finally arrived near a deserted river beach.
Gao Tao looked carefully and saw a wild forest near the river beach, and immediately raised his chin towards Fu'an.
Fu'an, who had already measured a small amount of kerosene bombs in the government office, galloped forward a dozen steps, and started to make a fire in the east of the umbrella.
He ignited the oil cloth tip protruding from the outside of the skin bag, and after seeing that the grease-soaked cloth tip on the head of the skin bag was completely on fire, he threw it towards the wild forest with all his strength.
Then he lit another one, and before throwing it out, he heard a muffled sound coming from the wild forest.
In the endless rain scene, everyone saw the wild forest to the east, and flames began to rise.
After the second ignited skin bag was also thrown over, it hit the tree trunk hard. Perhaps due to the sewing technology of the skin bag, it exploded directly on the tree trunk.
Then, everyone saw that a ball of fire seemed to have risen there, and the grease that splashed out stuck to the tree and did not flow directly away as expected.
Instead, it sticks directly to the trunk and continues to burn.
At that time, both Yang Zhen and Yao Pingzhong felt something good.
When the Western Army fights, they will naturally have the opportunity to use destructive weapons such as kerosene bombs.
However, the kerosene bombs of the Western Army were completely liquid and highly fluid, and the burning time was much faster than the kerosene bombs caressed by Gao Xuan.
Even though everyone was waiting there for the rain to disperse and the clouds to subside, the flames were still burning stubbornly, and at this moment, the wild forest was completely ignited.
Seeing that scene, Yao Pingzhong became more and more looking forward to this surprise attack on Ping'an Capital.

Fang La mobilized his navy, carrying almost two thousand men and horses, and a large amount of ordnance and equipment, and headed towards the Nagasaki Port.
After six days and seven nights, Fang La's navy and the cargo ships arrived at Nagasaki Port.
Over there, Fang Fei has been waiting here for a long time. In addition to Fang Barking Dog, there is also a guide sent by Fujiwara Kingdom Lord Fujiwara Tadayi.
After Fujiwara Tadayi learned from Fang Fei that the Song Dynasty was preparing to surprise Heianjing, he was overjoyed and sent several close retainers over as guides without hesitation.
Although the Fujiwara Kingdom won a complete victory in the first war, Fujiwara Tadai also knew very well that compared to the Japanese court, which had the power of the entire Japanese island, his own strength was too weak.
For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the Song Dynasty sent troops and horses to help, and if you don't know how to grasp it yourself, then you are really stupid.
Yang Zhen was responsible for commanding the troops and horses that had fled the ship and continued northward until they reached the Shimonoseki Strait area of Fujiwara Kingdom to meet up with Liu Qi.
As for Yao Pingzhong, he and more than 100 elite Western troops under his command to the east, including more than 300 war horses, followed the Japanese guides.
Following the guidance of the boat dispatched by Fang Fei, they quietly headed south along the coast, and then turned north.
Heading straight towards Namba Kyo (Osaka), the southern gateway of Heian Kyo located in the central and southern part of the main island of Japan.
The so-called Namba Kyo is because hundreds of years ago, Nitoku, the lord of Japan, built Namba Takatsu Palace in that trading port.
Later, Prince Shotoku built Shitennoji Temple here, which is considered to be one of the earliest Buddhist temples in Japan.
After the Daika reform, the then Japanese ruler built Namba-hara Toyosaki Palace (Namba Palace) in Osaka and named the place Namba-kyo, making Osaka the capital of Japan for a time.
Although the head of the Japanese kingdom actually lived in Namba Kyo for a short time, Namba Palace has been preserved.
Until the Han Dynasty's imperial capital was Ping'an Jing, Namba Jing also completely lost its status as the political center.
However, there are still a large number of religious buildings and ports such as Shitennoji Temple and Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine, and they are not as popular as the more important towns and ports in the Kinki area.
From there, after landing, it is a distance of eighty miles to Ping An Jing.
But no, under the guidance of the guide sent by Lord Fujiwara, they did not land directly in the most prosperous and lively Namba Kyoto Port area.
Instead, he chose to land at Owada Tomari (Kobe), a port area that was once very prosperous but is now completely abandoned.
During the Nara period, the imperial court built Owata Tomari Port there to conduct maritime trade.
Could it be that with the isolation of Japan, many ports of Japan lost their due value?
Because Japan's national finances were unable to repair, and it was dozens of miles away from the port of Namba.
Therefore, when Daluntian was moored in the harbor, the Japanese court simply left it abandoned and ignored it.
The original people and merchants in that area had already migrated away, and there was a dilapidated fishing village near the port.

It took hundreds of naval officers almost a day to repair one of the trestles.
Taking advantage of the darkness, they transported Yao Pingzhong and his subordinates to the shore, including their men and horses, as well as Gaozhang's special kerosene bombs.
After resting ashore for a month, Yao Pingzhong, who had regained his energy, began to make orders to reorganize his army.
Yao Pingzhong, together with the elite of the Eastern and Western armies under his command, including the guides, also had no one man and three cavalry.
Fang La stood aside silently, watching the more than a hundred cavalry until Yao Pingzhong announced that the entire army was on horseback.
Then he quickly stepped forward and saluted Yao Pingzhong respectfully.
"I hope the general will be victorious and return safely."
"Haha, don't worry, General Fang. I'm going to Ping'an Capital, but I'll definitely come back safe and victorious."
Yao Pingzhong's heroic words also caused the elite troops from the east and west to laugh wantonly.
Watching the team, led by the guides, gradually drifting away in the east of the afterglow of dusk.
Fang Qifu, who was beside Fang La, looked at the heroic elites of the Western Army and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"They are indeed the most powerful soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, and the elite of the Western Army live up to their reputation as elites."
"Isn't that natural? Okay, Seven Buddhas, take the scout horse on the east side of my leg, and don't let a single living thing go in a radius of twenty miles, okay?"
Go to sleep first, wake up and continue, don’t worry, it’s still five o’clock
