Chapter 487 First come 1.5 million shells to wash the ground
Zhang Hao looked at the chants in front of him and smiled lightly. He turned to the stunned Gu Xingdong next to him and said, "General, I'll leave the rest to you."
Gu Xingdong stuttered and asked: "This...how is this...how did you do it?"
Zhang Hao turned to look at the roaring soldiers, still smiling lightly: "I just told them the value of what they did! There are some reasons that you may not be able to explain, but everyone has a similar pursuit in their hearts.
That is: pursuing self-worth.
In fact, the biggest reason why the soldiers were upset was that they believed that the previous war arrangements could not reflect their value and were not worth their efforts!
And I want to tell them that their expedition is of great significance."
Gu Xingdong was thoughtful, but after thinking for a while, he asked in a low voice, "What you said sounds reasonable. But isn't it a bit... ahead of its time?"
Zhang Hao rolled his eyes, are you asking me if I am fooling you? But Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "As long as this war can be impressive, the general will be able to see the impact in a year at most. Wait for the war.
It’s over, and the general’s feelings will be even more obvious!”
Gu Xingdong nodded. Zhang Hao's affirmative expression made him somewhat convinced.
Zhang Hao retreated. Gu Xingdong immediately began to organize the army, and at the same time began to look for the rats who spread the rumors. The rumors were so accurate, there must be a capable organization behind them.
The army was in chaos before, and Gu Xingdong had no choice; now that the army was stable, Gu Xingdong showed his coldness. By the evening, more than 300 people had been caught. Most of them were deceived. But the real mice were also caught.
More than thirty.
Then he followed the clues and by the time the dinner was over, he had captured several core bosses.
Regarding these things, Zhang Hao simply nodded and no longer cared.
Early the next morning, the army began to get busy. A large amount of supplies were loaded onto the train, and some well-prepared legions also boarded the train and headed east.
Compared with yesterday, the faces of today's soldiers are less confused and complaining, and more generous and determined.
Zhang Hao was still standing on a hilltop observing. The train was roaring, and now there were more than 50,000 people waiting in line. 50,000 troops were lined up, and tens of thousands of soldiers were helping to load the goods.
The train runs almost every half an hour, rumbling away, but the army does not seem to decrease. With an army of 50,000, plus a large amount of military equipment, etc., nearly 30 trains are needed. One train every half an hour, that is, 15 hours, a whole day
time!
Fortunately, there are so many trains in the Kingdom of Qixia now, but even so, because a large number of trains are deployed here, the traffic in other places has been affected to a certain extent.
Now the train speed has increased to about 120 kilometers per hour. This front line has to cross the country of Canglan, the southern end of the country of Shaoze, and the country of Northern Tang. Because the railway has twists and turns, the total journey is nearly more than 8,000 kilometers. A round trip takes five days.
Half a day.
Taking into account the time spent loading and unloading goods, personnel delays, and unstable road conditions, it will take six days.
But even so, the speed at which the Qixia Kingdom mobilizes its troops is nothing short of miraculous. Regardless of the train speed of 120 kilometers per hour, it is not fast for a cultivator; but the mobilization of large armies is usually not too fast.
Although it is a world of cultivation, except for sneak attacks, the army moves relatively slowly.
The speed is 120 kilometers per hour, which is already extremely fast for large army mobilization.
After a while, Gu Xingdong came to Zhang Hao again. Looking at the scene at the station, he couldn't help but sigh: "It feels like a dream. It's only been two and a half years, and things have changed so fast."
"This is just the beginning! Nowadays, the technology of Qixia Country is developing faster and faster, and the changes in the future will only get faster and faster." Deep in his heart, Zhang Hao added: Wait a few more years, Dayang Group will come to you.
A legion at the stage of becoming a god, I’m asking you if you’re afraid!
Gu Xingdong nodded, it was true: in the past two and a half years, the changes in Qixia Country have been accelerating.
Watching another train leave, Gu Xingdong turned to Zhang Hao and asked, "Zhang Hao, what do you think we should do in the first battle when we arrive at the front line?"
"What are our strengths?" Zhang Hao asked.
"Strengths..." Gu Xingdong thought for a while and suddenly said: "Our strength is industrialization!"
Zhang Hao nodded: "Then let's fight an industrialized and mechanized war! Use machines to crush flesh and blood!"
"I understand!" Gu Xingdong's face flushed with excitement, or rather excited.
As early as a year ago, during the war of Qixia Kingdom to unify the West, Qixia Kingdom's legions had already begun to transform into mechanization. Since this year, Qixia Kingdom has not stopped changing its uniforms.
Different from other countries, the Country of Qixia, and even the entire six western countries of the Fertile Continent (now completely unified by the Country of Qixia), have always survived and grown in war. Here, for war, for weapons
, the pursuit of military power has penetrated deeply into the soul and been carved into the bone marrow!
Not to mention that Qixia Country also has a super driving force - Dayang Group!
Although the Kingdom of Shaoze, the Kingdom of Canglan, etc. have been undergoing mechanized changes recently, there is still a huge gap between the legions of the Kingdom of Qixia.
Gu Xingdong took the train that day and set off, leaving the deputy general to handle matters here.
Zhang Hao stayed here until dawn the next day and then returned to the imperial capital. He handed over a perfect solution to the queen and the country - not only solved the soldiers' emotions, but also guided their morale. It also set the stage for the future of Qixia.
China's participation in the war in the East laid a theoretical foundation.
In this regard, both Liu Xinyu, the prime minister and others, and even the newly established inspectorate, all gave Zhang Hao a thumbs up.
In just three days, the first batch of elites from the Kingdom of Qixia arrived at the front line - the dividing line between the Kingdom of the Northern Tang Dynasty and the Kingdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Because the Xuanzhen Sect's Weihai Fleet was destroyed, the Southern Tang Kingdom, with the assistance of the Xiaoyao Sect's Hailong battleship, regained the original border between the Southern Tang Kingdom and the Langya Kingdom. Naturally, the coastline obtained by the Northern Tang Kingdom also
Lost.
Under the attack of the warships of the Xiaoyao faction, Nangong Zhi became a little anxious seeing that the coastline occupied by the Kingdom of Shaoze was about to be lost.
At this moment, the first batch of reinforcements from Qixia Kingdom finally arrived.
On the sea, the Pearl Fleet of Qixia Kingdom and the Atlantic Fleet of Ocean Group also arrived one after another, and the two fleets looked after each other.
The Pearl Fleet currently has three Zhenyuan-class battleships and six Iron Duke-class battleships;
The Atlantic Fleet has 14 Zhenyuan-class and 14 Iron Duke-class battleships;
The Xiaoyao Sect's current Sea Dragon Fleet is only 12 'Black Iron Battleships', all of which are 10,000-ton class. Facing the fleet coming from the Qixia Kingdom, they had to temporarily avoid the edge and start to retreat.
In this way, Nangong Zhi met the savior here in Qiongshan Port: Gu Xingdong, commander of the Eastern Army of the Kingdom of Qixia, Shu Bennan, commander of the Pearl Fleet of the Qixia Kingdom, and Zhao Yuhang, commander of the Atlantic Fleet of the Ocean Group.
But when the three of them saw Nangong Zhi, they were shocked. Nangong Zhi... was actually injured!
"I was attacked by a killer from the Xiaoyao Sect. I almost lost sight of you all." Nangong Zhi still had some fear on his face. This hero who fought hard on the battlefield was frightened by this assassination.
Gu Xingdong didn't say any nonsense and asked directly: "General Sima, do you know the opponent's military layout? We can go to war if we ask!"
"Now?" Nangong Zhi looked at Gu Xingdong and others in surprise, "Don't you guys take a break?"
Gu Xingdong smiled: "Our soldiers slept all the way to the terminal. These guys are in good condition now. Soldiers are very fast. We must launch the most powerful offensive before the opponent can respond.
When we set off, His Majesty said that we cannot embarrass the country of Qixia. We are here to win the war!"
Nangong Zhi's eyes suddenly brightened: he was most afraid of the troops from the Kingdom of Qixia coming to make trouble. Nangong Zhi and his think tanks had also analyzed the possible situation of the troops from the Kingdom of Qixia before. The reason why Nangong Zhi asked the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Qixia to rest for a day was because he wanted to
You have to look at the opponent's performance.
Unexpectedly, the reinforcements from Qixia Kingdom were so eager to fight that they would go to war without even taking a sip of water.
Of course, from a military perspective, this is indeed the best choice.
After confirming again and again that Gu Xingdong was not joking, Nangong Zhi called his subordinates to share the enemy intelligence.
After Gu Xingdong read the information, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Young men, set up the artillery. Let me blast 1.5 million shells first!"
