This truth does not need to be explained by Yang Su, everyone understands it.
Only seven days to break through Huaibei
Even though most of the generals of the Imperial Guard are the best in the army, they still have to think carefully at this time.
Huaibei is not an easy pass.
Even if we were to take Tongguan and Hulao Pass in seven days, everyone would dare to pat their chests and guarantee it.
The Imperial Guards looked down upon this big man's powerful equipment and military quality, and those powerful gates were just like paper in front of them.
But Huaibei is different.
For three hundred years, this was a yoke stuck on the neck of the Southern Dynasty.
In other words, this is the psychological shadow of generations of people in the Southern Dynasties.
And based on the years of management and layout of the Northern Dynasty, there is actually no problem in saying that it is a shackles. Huaibei has a series of camps and numerous fortresses, not to mention the tall and daunting cities.
If you want to break through Huaibei, any general must think carefully.
"Why, can't it be done?" Li Xingchen's voice suddenly turned cold.
This battle of national destiny, in which the entire Han Dynasty is involved, logically does not require any encouragement, but Huaibei is a different place after all. For every general who was born in the south, and even for Li Xingchen himself,
It is said that this place is like a nightmare. Even Li Xingchen himself, when he dreamed back at midnight, could not forget the bloody battles and murders that had happened here. He could even clearly see the familiar and unfamiliar pictures.
face.
Eight years after leaving Huaibei, Li Xingchen finally made a comeback.
But facing Huaibei, he also needed courage, and he needed the courage brought to him by these powerful soldiers.
Not to mention that everyone present, almost all of their ancestors and fathers had died in the flesh and blood mill of Huaibei. For them, Huaibei was both a dreaming place and a fearful place.
But now that Li Xingchen has asked, he is asking about everyone's courage and determination. Since I followed His Majesty from Jiankang Mansion and walked all the way here, there is no doubt about anyone's courage and determination.
They were prepared to die, just to wash away the shame of their fathers and ancestors' failure in this war.
Even if this is a dead line, everyone is determined to overcome it!
"All I have to do is die!" Led by Li Ping, the generals of the Imperial Guard roared loudly.
Li Xingchen waved his hand: "I don't need you to die, as long as you work for me and break through the shackles that have been wrapped around our necks for three hundred years!"
"promise!"
The roar echoed throughout the cabin.
On the entire Five-Tooth Ship, all the soldiers who heard this uniform roar straightened their backs subconsciously.
The war is coming, and it is our responsibility to fight in a bloody battle.
The closer we get to the Huaibei front line, the more intense the atmosphere of war becomes.
Ships of various sizes on the canal come and go in a hurry, quickly bringing wealth from all over the world to this place. Even in the dark, you can see an endless stream of ships on the water not far away.
The war will not stop because of the night. On the contrary, if you seize the night, you will seize twice as much time as the enemy.
Only a hundred miles further ahead is Zhongli. The Han navy is gathering on the Huaihe River outside Zhongli City. According to Jiang Xian's plan, the navy will be divided into three groups, two of which will attack Yingkou and Qingjiangkou respectively.
The reason why these two points were chosen is because the former is located on the flank of Xuanhu City. After capturing Yingkou, the Han navy can not only help Lu Zicai solve his worries, but also follow the Ying River to directly attack Xuchang City to cope with Chen Zhishen's attack.
, and the latter is located between Wukou, Xuzhou and other fortresses, and is an intermediate node. Once the Han army lands at Qingjiangkou, they can directly attack Xuzhou eastward without having to tangle too much with the Northern Zhou army on the water outside Xuzhou City.
This was also the direction of attack chosen by Wu Mingche.
I have to admit that Jiang is still old and hot. Wu Mingche did have a strategic vision when he chose Qingjiangkou. It was a pity that Nan Chen's military strength could not compete with the Northern Zhou army that came with the power of a great victory.
Of course, there was no way to compete back then, but now, everything has been turned upside down.
As for the other divisions along the way, they went to contain the defenders at Wukou, so that the defenders at Wukou were overwhelmed and unable to attack the rear of the Han army that landed at Qingjiangkou.
Li Xingchen has no objections to this plan. What he needs to do now is to send these five-toothed ships and Huanglong ships to the Huaibei frontline as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if the Han Dynasty Navy has great ambitions, it will suffer from the lack of three heads and six arms.
.
However, although the navy is important, it is not as important as the food coming from the rear.
His Majesty the Emperor's fleet also had to pull aside first to make way for the grain ships coming from behind.
It stands to reason that the emperor is personally conducting the expedition. For the safety of His Majesty, the waters where the fleet is located should be completely closed and under martial law. But now it is obvious that this condition is not met. There is only one canal serving as the artery for north-south transportation. The artery is cut off.
There is no need to fight this battle.
Therefore, no one had any objections. It was just that the guards on the ship all stared nervously at the water and the banks on both sides with their eyes wide open. The lanterns illuminated the water extremely brightly, and the Yu Linqi who was in charge of guarding on the shore patrolled back and forth.
He looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, which caused many people to look at the grain and fodder ships passing by the fleet one after another.
However, in this crowded canal, everyone knows who can put on such a pomp, so on the water where the light and shadow are intertwined, you can clearly see the figures standing upright facing here, responsible for escorting the ship.
The officers and soldiers of the Han army stomped their feet neatly and folded their arms to chest level amidst the slogans of their own generals, and saluted the fleet. The boatmen who supported the boats also subconsciously looked over. Soldiers have military salutes, and they also have their attention salutes.
.
No matter what kind of etiquette it is, at this time, they all want to express the same meaning, respect for their Emperor.
The battle line is ahead, the war is raging, and His Majesty the Emperor is by their side.
This made every soldier and civilian feel extremely at ease.
Li Xingchen was telling them through actions.
I am with you.
Of course, what they didn't know was that Li Xingchen was standing on the ship's roof at this time, watching them quietly, looking at these people who rushed to the front line without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Let's get some rest early. The secretary just sent us news that because we have to avoid this fleet, we will arrive at Zhongli about two hours later than expected. It should be tomorrow morning." Behind him was a gentle voice.
The voice sounded, and Yuan Leshan didn't know when he had already walked to Li Xinchen.
Li Xingchen turned around. The night wind was quite cool. Even with the flickering light, he could see that Yuan Lexhang's little face was a little red, obviously from the cold. Li Xingchen couldn't help but hold her hand, which was cold and cold: "Stand here.
