Four hundred and ninetieth chapters thousands of miles of training
Lu Yanfeng and other soldiers in Tongguan saw the shadow of a large sail that stretched for twenty or thirty miles.
Everyone was so shocked that their eyes fell off.
If it weren't for the Iron Front Army red flag on Chen Liang's flagship, a large number of black-sailed ships responsible for traction would be familiar with it.
The Tongguan Guard must urgently order preparations for the war.
The water village blockade was lifted.
More than 200 transport ships extend from the wharf along the north bank of the Wei River, with almost no end to see.
Countless tall horses were suffocated and Xilulu got off the boat.
Lu Yanfeng asked in disbelief with his mouth wide.
"God, these... so many war horses?"
“Where did it?”
Chen Liang was very proud.
"I'll grab it!"
"The war horses above 80,000 and there are 200 transport ships of all sizes."
"It's all from Liao, hahaha!"
"By the way, this is my governor."
Lu Yanfeng and a group of Tongguan guards hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
What are you kidding?
Chen Lin and his old man had a relationship with each other.
Still a super rich man.
"I've seen Governor Chen!"
Chen Lin smiled and bowed.
"Don't be polite, is your handsome man still in Chang'an?"
Lu Yanfeng said quickly.
"Report to the Governor, the Deputy Commander and the newly trained officers and soldiers went to Qinzhou camp to prepare for war."
"We have verified the news of the invasion of the Western Regions."
"The tribal coalition forces are no less than 400,000, and they are still gathering in Wudinghe and Donghetao, Huangjiang."
"Two attacks, coming in full force!"
There is no Western Xia in this world, and there are hundreds of tribes and small countries in the Western Regions.
The population of the Western Regions is not much larger than that of the Liao Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But it is stronger than Dali and Tubo,
These Western Regions, like the grassland tribes of the Liao Kingdom, were mostly nomadic.
Growing up on horseback since childhood, he became a soldier in adulthood.
It's really not difficult to draw 400,000 cavalrymen with a population of millions.
The Western Army is known as 200,000.
After fighting with the Liao people for a while, they lost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.
Among them, Yongxing Army suffered the greatest losses.
So I said that a lot of them were recruited later.
There were also 300,000 people gathered on the line of Hengshan.
But recruits account for half.
In the early stage, I am afraid that I will still have to defend the main focus and do not have the ability to attack the entire line.
Chen Lin pointed to the cavalry road that had already disembarked.
"It doesn't matter, I brought 50,000 iron armored cavalry."
"We'll go to Qinzhou for a day!"
From Tongguan to Qinzhou, the entire Wei River is open to navigation.
A thousand miles of road, day and night, will arrive in at most two days.
However, the front line has not started yet, and Chen Lin is not in a hurry.
Lu Yanfeng was immediately happy, this was a strong support!
"The last time we will be the deputy commander and the three million elders on Shaanxi Road will thank the governor for the great kindness."
There is no need to lose any mistakes in the important area of Tongguan.
Lu Yanfeng's more than 10,000 troops had no chance to go to the front line.
The Liao people and the imperial court had to be on guard.
The Western Army is really difficult.
The only friend is probably the only Tiefeng Army.
Chen Lin came to help thousands of miles away, which was a timely help.
After a day of trimming.
The fleet set off and headed west.
However, most of the veterans took a boat, while all the new recruits rode on horseback on land.
Forty thousand war horses were driven down.
The Marshalls do not stop.
There is only one purpose, practice!
Not just new recruits from the Iron Front Army.
It also includes almost a large number of Murong Juns.
Chen Lin said with a dark face.
"How can I not practice?"
"You can't even shoot a dozen arrows to death."
"No matter how rich my governor is, he can't afford to support him."
"I'll just rush to shoot with hundreds of thousands of Western Regions who are good at riding and shooting?"
"Don't have the ability to kill enemies in close combat, and want to win a battle, but dream?"
"If you don't want to die, just practice to death all the way!"
He planned to take ten days to walk through the journey of two days.
By then, the wounded soldiers on the ship will almost recover.
Every afternoon, the fleet will find a suitable place to dock early.
All cavalry gathered to practice melee and archery.
The rest of the time to travel is purely just training riding.
To save food.
When it comes to rest, the navy has to use its own trawl to fish.
The veterans still have to run to mow the grass.
People's food rations are reduced to half a pound per day, and the fish is full.
The war horse quota is three pounds of refined grain, one pound of fish meal, and full of forage pipes.
Calculate the more than 400,000 dan of food on the ship, and these people are currently here.
It's enough for the entire army to eat for five or six months.
The Western Army was too poor, and Chen Lin did not want to add burden to them.
"Chen Liang, when you arrive in Qinzhou, you will bring forty ships back."
In the command cabin, Chen Lin gestured at the map.
"Warships and half armed merchant ships."
"You walk along the northern line and try to hide your traces."
"Of course, if you encounter a Liao army's wardrobe along the way, you must silence your mouth."
"After going back, let your family continue to expand their military engineering and armor production capacity."
"Strive to achieve a monthly output of more than 20,000 units."
"So long time has passed, I should have stored a lot of goods at home."
"I sent it to this governor, remember that it is the standard armor of our Iron Front Army."
"The more phosphorus fire bombs, the better."
"Bring more paddle wheel modification equipment."
"Chen Yiping, Chen Dashan is responsible for continuing to renovate the cargo ship."
All the generals were shocked.
There are no shortage of armor for the 20,000 soldiers in our Western Expedition!
Chen Yun roughly guessed Chen Lin’s thoughts and pondered.
"Governor, are you planning to recruit soldiers in the northwest?"
Chen Lin said with a smile.
"That's right, since ancient times, Qinchuan has produced good soldiers,"
"How can I be empty-handed when I come?"
"Our governor recruits another 30,000 cavalry."
Chen Feng nodded repeatedly.
"The governor's words are reasonable!"
"I see that there are many big guys in Lu Yanfeng's army."
"The martial style of the northwest is passed down for a long time, and horse farming is also very popular."
"It's indeed good seedlings for light and heavy riding."
Chen Liang worried, "Governor, didn't you say you wanted to be false and real, and create panic for the Liao army on Hedong Road?"
"I passed by the western foot of Beimang Mountain, and the river was fighting!"
"It's going to be exposed no matter what!"
The main battlefield of the Liao army has been changed to Huangjiang and Henan Road.
The upper reaches of the Huanglong River are probably mainly confrontation.
The Liao navy went to war on both sides, probably I couldn't stand it.
Not to mention, more than 100 warships were sunk by the Iron Front Navy during this period.
More than 200 transport ships were robbed.
No matter how hard they can build, they will never be able to return to their heyday in a short time.
Chen Lin laughed.
"When you arrive in Qinzhou, how many days will you have to rest?"
"Don't worry when you go back, Liang Long's Thousand Land Warriors will go with you."
"If you meet a suitable person along the way, you can also go ashore and make a few votes!"
"Of course, it's best to target the horse farm on the north bank of the Huanglong River."
"I'm afraid it will be a month later when you are fully exposed."
"We have won so long for the Great Zhou official army and Yang Chengliang."
"Isn't it interesting?"
The Tiefeng Navy fought head-on with Yelu Daming's navy twice.
There were seventy-five warships that appeared.
Chen Liang only exposed forty ships, what about the other ships?
Is it hidden west of Tongguan or ambushed on the long waterway?
It seems that the Western Army gathered heavy troops and ambushed in Jiyuan once.
Can't you do it the second time or the third time elsewhere?
In fact, Chen Lin's move still had a great deterrent effect on the Liao army.
