Xia Yan was stunned for a moment after hearing this operation.
Good guy, he is indeed a general. Not only is he quick in thinking, but he is also able to draw inferences from one instance to another.
If all of my soldiers were like this, what would I have to worry about? They would have gone back long ago!
Yuan Liyang below saw that Xia Yan was a little dull and knew that this was going to be fatal. Xing Daorong had spent so much on himself and still indulged him, so he seemed to be blamed.
He quickly started pushing the blame: "Your Majesty, you said you would do your best to satisfy them, so I..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Xia Yan smiled and said: "It's okay, they have their own reasons. I still say the same thing, I believe them."
With such a strong general, it's too late to enjoy yourself, so how can you blame him?
Obviously, in the next time, I just need to wait slowly.
Logically speaking, the first ones to get the battle report are the Xi Kingdom's army and the Zhu Kingdom's army.
Because in terms of distance, the two countries are the closest to us, especially Xi State. You can go to Tai Lake in the west of the city and row a boat there. It's so close.
As for Zhuge Liang, the two countries Huo Qubing had to face were the Changxing Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom in the north. There was an uninhabited loess belt in the middle after leaving the city.
If you want to conquer two countries, you must be the first to set up camp and see the situation, so the feedback will definitely be slower.
The same is true for Di Renjie. The Xuanwu Dynasty needed to go south, and it would also take some time to set up camp and observe the enemy's situation.
In fact, this is indeed the case. At this moment, Xing Daorong is already making preparations at the school grounds on the shore of Tai Lake.
In the school yard, hundreds of brand-new warships are lined up, and everyone is ready to set off at any time.
Among the crowd, Xing Daorong was wearing silver armor, looking mighty and domineering.
Below him are 30,000 former soldiers of the Yu Kingdom, but now they have been officially incorporated into Daxia soldiers, named Baiguan Army.
At this moment, 30,000 people were still somewhat unfamiliar with this commander-in-chief who had not shown his face for several days.
Xing Daorong didn't feel anything strange about this, but instead shouted loudly at everyone.
As long as I can defeat Xiguo this time, I will definitely let His Majesty let everyone return to the city to reunite with their families.
If you want to stay in the Baiguan Army in the future, you are very welcome. If you don't want to stay, you can always go back to accompany your family.
I have to say that these words touched the hearts of many people.
If you can return home to be with your wife and children during your military life, who wouldn't want to do that?
After that, a group of people began to shout that they had defeated their opponents and returned to Guancheng, and their morale was unprecedentedly high.
Seeing this, Xing Daorong also laughed and then said to a young man below: "Lin Li, come here."
Lin Li is similar in age to Xia Yan and has just turned twenty, but he is extremely brave and has considerable prestige among the Baiguan Army.
In the past few days, Xing Daorong was away, and Lin Li was always in the school grounds issuing various instructions to guide the army in training.
"Commander, you are looking for me."
Xing Daorong hummed, and then began to tell Lin Li about today's plan.
"Lin Li, I now appoint you as the vanguard of this battle. I have a moderately important task to assign to you."
"Commander, please speak."
"There are about 30,000 defenders in Lake City (the capital of Xi Kingdom), and they are scattered among the various city gates. Therefore, it is generally easy to attack and difficult to defend. I order you to lead 29,000 soldiers to attack directly.
Lake City Palace, drive down their king!"
"Led by me?..."
Hearing this, Lin Li's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he quickly hid it.
Xing Daorong nodded, "Yes, if you do well, it will be a great achievement, and I will definitely recommend you to His Majesty!"
It is hard to imagine that he is a native of Yu State and a prisoner of war of Yu State, but at this moment, Xing Daorong said that he would recommend himself to His Majesty the Emperor.
Originally, Lin Li had already prepared for a dull life in the future. Now, after hearing Xing Daorong's words, he felt a little excited in his heart.
But he soon realized that something was wrong. The Baiguan Army only had 30,000 people in total, and he had to bring 29,000. What kind of operation was this?
Seeing Lin Li like this, Xing Daorong also laughed.
"This most important task depends on me. I decided to lead a thousand people to contain their 70,000 navy troops, so as to delay your attack on the Lake City Palace."
Lin Li didn't think about it carefully because there was no extra space in his mind.
My mind was filled with what Xing Daorong said about the feat of a thousand people holding back 70,000 people.
How powerful must one be to be able to say such a thing? Huo Qubing's 800 cavalrymen overturned the rear army formation of the Yu State, causing the Yu State to be defeated.
Now Xing Daorong has 1,000 captured soldiers, and the Xi Kingdom has 70,000 naval troops. How can such a country not be prosperous?
"General Xing is truly a god!"
What made Lin Li most regretful was that he could not witness such a grand scene with his own eyes. It seemed that he was only suitable for a small scene with 29,000 men attacking 30,000 men.
After everything was explained, the two armies were ready to set off.
Xing Daorong had ten people on each ship, and he painted one of them red to prove that it was the leading ship among the white ships.
Next, more than a thousand people pushed a hundred ships towards Tai Lake in a mighty manner, while the remaining 29,000 marched from the ground towards the lake city wall.
Before leaving, Xing Daorong suddenly looked at a large black thing on the school ground with a look of disgust.
"This crap is an eyesore here. Find a place to throw it away."
Looking at Tai Lake not far away and the pushing boats, a light flashed in Xing Daorong's eyes.
"By the way, just throw it into Lake Tai, so that your Majesty won't find it!"
As for the black stuff, it was gunpowder. Yuan Liyang disliked the gunpowder blocking the road, so he sent 800 kilograms each to Xing Daorong and Chen Heishan's school grounds.
Now is a good time for Xing Daorong to prepare to throw it away.
But after all, it was eight hundred kilograms of gunpowder, and it would not be good to put it on a small boat, so Xing Daorong simply asked the soldiers on each ship to carry a seven or eight kilogram gunpowder.
And told them to throw these things into the lake as soon as the war is over.
Before that, this thing could even be used as a weapon. Although it was a pile of powder, it could still cover the eyes of the enemy if used properly.
Imagine, when the enemy's heads are covered with such powder, then they will inevitably have no time to take care of their own nimble boats.
It looks perfect this way!
After that, everything was ready, and hundreds of small boats officially appeared on the shore of Lake Tai.
Each ship is equipped with a large number of bows and arrows as well as stones, gunpowder and other items.
In Xing Daorong's plan, these things can become weapons after a while.
Just by relying on these, he was able to hold back Xi Kingdom's 70,000 navy troops.
As hundreds of warships were launched, Xing Daorong ordered all the ships to raise the flag of Daxia and march toward the Xi Kingdom in a mighty manner. This chapter has been completed!
