Lord of the House - v12 Chapter 68

(Add more red ticket while sick)

The naval combat capabilities of the newly formed task force were fully demonstrated in the battle of Kazu.

The Jinghai Division has two brigade-level task forces and two traditional naval forces of the town division, with a total strength of nearly 40,000 people. With this force, it is more than enough to suppress the Dengzhou Navy Division and tear the sea defense line.

However, relying only on the Jinghai Division, the ability to project troops at sea long-range is limited, and there is no way to cast the elite of the 80,000-foot brigade gathered in Haizhou to Jinhai at one time after tearing the sea defense line.

The cycle of mobilizing merchant ships is long, and Yan Hu will be alerted in advance. Therefore, the main force of the Southeast Navy is secretly dispatched to the north. In fact, the more important thing is to enhance the long-distance delivery of soldiers, so that the time to mobilize merchant ships can be delayed.

Yue Zhi followed Zhao Qingshan into the heavily guarded inner courtyard, and saw Lin Fu dressed in casual clothes, standing there waiting for them to come in, busy salute to Zhao Qingshan.

When Yue Zhi was appointed as the deputy commander of the Southeast Navy, he was trained in the Jiangning Naval Command School for a short time, and met with Cao Zi’ang, Song Fu, Gao Zongting, etc., but there was also a middle-level general in the hall. It is known that Luo Wenhu, a Suizhou general who surrendered in the battle of Jingxiang, secretly felt that Huaidong had been tolerant and inclusive and recruited many talents over the years, which laid the foundation for the creation of a new dynasty today.

Wu Qi, Ge Cunxin, and Zhou Pu quickly rushed over, as well as Liu Miaozhen, the wife of Qiao Guo, who served as the commander of Fengli’s army.

Zhou Pu was about to come in, and when he saw Zhao Qingshan, he grinned and said: “You guys are coming here, I want the crow to arrange the first jockey in the first order of troops, and he excuses me because of the lack of navy ships; Come over here and see what else he has to say!”

Yue Zhi wanted to attack the force arrangement, Wu Qi could not be the master, probably because Zhou Pu did not dare to mess with Lin Fu and Gao Zongting.

Sure enough, Lin Fu interrupted Zhou Pu’s words and said, “After tearing open the sea defense line, the first battle to attack Jinhai will not use horsemen. What are you doing first?” Let Miaozhen sit next to her.

Zhao Qingshan and Yue Zhi had just arrived in Haizhou with their troops, and they were not clear about the recent development of the situation. They had a chat with Cao Zi’ang, Song Fu, Gao Zongting, Zhou Pu, Ge Cunxin, Wu Qi and others. After sitting down, they went straight to the topic and asked. Said: “How did the Hejin war go…”

“Dashan,” Lin Fu was also very excited when he knew the results of the Hejin naval battle. Sometimes it was one thing to be able to predict a one-sided victory in advance. It was still hard to be excited if the results actually met expectations, or even better than expected. Luo Wenhu said, “Luo Wenhu just came from Shaocheng, and asked him to tell you about the details of the battle…”

Zhao Qingshan is a navy general, so he is naturally concerned about the role of new warships in naval battles. Luo Wenhu detailed the Hejin naval battle and the artillery battles of Hejin Island and Bailing Mountain. He and Yue Zhi asked many details in detail before releasing. Guo Luo Wenhu – the result of the Hejin Sea Battle, also called Zhao Qingshan’s excitement; Yue Zhi was excited, but also had a bit of luck in his heart: the war in Dengzhou will kick off in the next two days, and when the results of the war in Dengzhou come out, The fire crossbow and the new warship will surely shake the world, but I wonder how the people of Xuchang will feel at that time?

Hearing Luo Wenhu’s detailed account of the Hejin War, Zhao Qingshan said with emotion: “The Southeast Navy should also hurry up to equip new warships. The extension of the Nanyang Sea Road to the Johor Strait is relatively smooth, but further west, it has already caused the Jiduo Dynasty to be vigilant. In the western waters of Johor, the pirate forces have suddenly expanded, or it may be related to the behind-the-scenes support of the Jiduo Dynasty, and sooner or later a battle will be fought. However, the traditional navy’s single-ship combat capability is limited, and after the Pudan navy base is built, it is impossible to assign too many With many troops stationed in the past, I can only look forward to new warships…”

“Speaking of this, I have an idea,” Gao Zongting said. “The main battleships are directly controlled by the navy and dispatched to various places overseas, but the **** fleet will be funded and established by the overseas governors’ offices…”

Most of the frigates are 200-ton warships, and their ability to resist wind and waves in the open sea is not strong. Repeated cruising in the open sea will greatly increase the frequency of maritime accidents. Another problem is the suitability of overseas water conditions. Main battleships are not suitable for rushing into unfamiliar waters for close-to-shore melee combat. This requires each overseas governor’s office to master a **** fleet that is proficient in local water conditions.

There is also the issue of apportionment of military expenditures: an upper limit will be set for each overseas governor’s office, but instead of setting up a **** fleet according to the upper limit, it will be decided according to the governor’s own financial resources, rather than completely paying for it by the central government. You can make a lot of money from ordnance purchases in the overseas governor’s office.

Continued external ordnance purchases will also ensure that the development of the new empire’s ordnance technology will continue.

“This immediate matter has not been resolved yet, so don’t think about the next thing,” Lin Fu interrupted Zhao Qingshan and Gao Zongting, pulled the topic back, and said, “Twenty warships above the Jinhai level of the Southeast Navy arrived in Haizhou; I think the time to hit Dengzhou will be the day after tomorrow…”

“Did Yanlu notice it in Dengzhou?” Zhao Qingshan asked.

“It’s impossible to say that you didn’t notice it at all,” Lin Fu said, “Yang Shi led the first task force to sea on March 28, and didn’t hide anything deliberately. The enemy of Dengzhou should know about it four days later. News. The task force rushed to Dengzhou without being the first. After two or three days of hesitation, Yanlu should send a ship to Shaocheng to try to contact Ye Jibaishi. Starting from the 8th, in the waters south of Shandong, We have found traces of enemy sentinel ships many times. Whether they are aware of it or not depends on the blockade of the Hanjiang Bay, but no one can guarantee that no ship will leak out…”

“But even if the enemies of Dengzhou are aware of it after eight days, they will not have time to adjust their deployment.” Gao Zongting said, “First, let Cunxin lead the second task force and the second town division to attack Miaoshan Island. After that, Yang Shi led the first task force to set off directly from Shaocheng to strengthen the attack on the sea defense line, and the third town division of Jinghai and the Southeast Navy acted as reserve teams…”

Zhao Qingshan and Yue Zhi said with a smile: “Let me tell you, we won’t be able to catch a fight if we rush early, we’d better be a transport brigade honestly…”

****************

Dengzhou on the 15th was also shrouded in the cloud of war.

Although the war has not yet spread to Dengzhou, although there is still talk in the army that the focus of the Huaidong Army’s Northern Expedition will be dispatching troops from Xuzhou, there are more and more obvious signs that the sea defense line is the focus of the Huaidong Expedition will attack.

Fan Wenlan arrived in Dengzhou on March 27th and used the power of the West Temple Supervisor to secretly check whether the Dengzhou general was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, but he was not allowed to take it easy. The news that a large number of warships went to sea on March 28.

The monsoons in March and April are mixed, sometimes the north wind, suddenly the southeast wind, and the current is not conducive to the Jinghai Division directly attacking Dengzhou from Haizhou, but if the Jinghai Division’s goal is Dengzhou, it should not be later than April 5th. In Dengzhou, the ship shadow of the Jinghai Marine could not be seen.

That means that the large fleet of warships of the Jinghai Division going to sea is likely to join the Haidong camp and attack the west coast of the Goryeo Peninsula.

From April 6th, Na Hexiongqi instructed the Dengzhou Navy to dispatch a number of sentry ships to search in the western waters of the Korean Peninsula, and on April 10th, when the sentinel ships returned to Dengzhou, Na Hexiongqi and others only found out when they were in Dengzhou. The outer waters of the Hanjiang Bay have been blocked by the warships of the Haidong Camp Army…

At this time, the Northern Yan generals Na Hexiongqi, Fan Wenlan, Su Tingzhan, Tong Huacheng and other talents gathered in the city of Dengzhou really realized the seriousness of the problem.

The major warships of the Jinghai Division set out to sea on March 28, and will appear in the Hejin waters at the earliest on April 2 or even earlier. The Koryo navy cannot be considered weak. Even if it cannot confront the main fleet of Huaidong in the outer seas, it should send warships as fast as possible to break through the blockade of the Huaidong warships and report to Dengzhou…

As of the tenth day, Dengzhou had not received any news from Shaocheng and Hanyang, and even the regular contact once every two weeks was interrupted. The extent to which ships are dispatched to break out of the encirclement and report.

That He Xiongqi, Fan Wenlan, Su Tingzhan, Tong Huacheng and others are still clear and confident about the defense conditions of Shaocheng Hejin Strait. In the past few years, Cui Quanchen took advantage of the complex island and reef conditions on the west coast of Korea to inflict heavy damage on the Huaidong Navy, which was almost invincible across the East China Sea, proving that the Korea Navy under the leadership of Cui Quanchen was a team of A military force with combat effectiveness and combat skills should not have hit the Huaidong Navy to such an extent in a single naval battle.

A sudden change made Na Hexiongqi, Fan Wenlan, Su Tingzhan, Tong Huacheng and others like headless flies. They lost their judgment and opinions. They could only send ships from Liaodong Jian to land from Haicheng in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula~www .mtlnovel.com~ Go to Hanyang by land to get in touch to confirm what happened to Hanyang and Shaocheng!

Standing on the head of Dengzhou City, Fan Wenlan looked at the vast night sky to the east, and the sea was quietly hidden under the night sky. Although Dengzhou City is still more than ten miles away from the sea, the wind blowing is full of the smell of the sea. Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Fan Wenlan looked back and saw that He Xiongqi and Tong Huacheng were walking to Dengcheng. Come over and ask, “Can General He and Master Tong fall asleep either?”

“Can’t sleep,” Na Hexiongqi shook his head, walked over, stood in front of the crenelated wall, looked at the silent and murderous night outside the city, and said, “It’s already the early summer season, and in another month, the East China Sea will be The storms will become more frequent; does Mr. Fan think Dengzhou can spend this month peacefully?”

So far, there is no news of Hanyang and Shaocheng. Fan Wenlan has a hard time answering Hexiongqi’s question.

Tong Huacheng said: “The Huaidong Navy unexpectedly fought Gaoyang first. Even if the battle goes well, it should not be possible to adjust and fight again within a month. The key is to find out what happened in Hanjiang Bay. misfortune……”

According to common sense, Tong Huacheng’s judgment is not wrong, but the situation in Hanjiang Bay is too strange, and everything becomes difficult to say; in Fan Wenlan’s opinion: if only one large-scale attack can be organized before the storm, the Huaidong Army It is also more appropriate to attack the sea defense line rather than attack the west coast of Goryeo.

At this time, I saw several horses rushing towards the city, and the riders on horseback did not slow down when they approached, but just shouted loudly: “Hanyang is in a hurry, and report to General Dengzhou…”

That He Xiongqi, Fan Wenlan, and Tong Huacheng were all excited, and news finally came from Hanyang: No matter whether the news is good or bad, news is better than no news. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
