"There is salt, there is money, and there is the sea!"
"As long as Dongzhou is taken down, it is equivalent to containing several northern states. And don't you think that by relying on the sea, we can open a sea route, which will also be very convenient to the southern states?"
Zhang Bao said to Fan Hanzhong with a smile.
"Sea route?"
Fan Hanzhong was very surprised. He had never been exposed to anything related to this and didn't understand it very well.
"Uh... let's do it like this. If you reveal the news, say that we are preparing to preemptively attack Taizhou, and have some troops gather at the junction of Taizhou and pretend to be preparing for a feint attack, so as to attract the attention of the Taizhou troops."
"I believe that once our order is issued, not only Taizhou, but also the other states will be watching, but as long as we don't move, none of them will act rashly. Taking advantage of this time, I will lead people to Dongzhou
Take it down!"
Zhang Bao said to Fan Hanzhong.
"Sir, this..."
"This is inappropriate."
Fan Hanzhong felt dizzy when he heard this.
It's okay for them to lead troops to feign an attack, but if you, a state shepherd, really go to attack Dongzhou, isn't this a joke?
I originally thought that Zhang Bao was just joking, but I never thought that he was really going.
Besides, even if it's just a feint and stretching to delay, a month would be the limit.
Even if we don't move by then, the Taizhou people will definitely attack.
Once Taizhou moves, the other states will also move, and Dongzhou will not be completely unprepared.
Take Dongzhou in one month?
War is a very serious matter and should not be joked about.
"Sir, why don't you lead a feint attack, and I will lead two thousand men to attack Dongzhou."
Fan Hanzhong quickly said to Zhang Bao.
"you go?"
"Come on, come on, tell me, how did you take Dongzhou with two thousand people?"
Zhang Bao asked with a smile.
"I……"
"Fight to the death!"
Fan Hanzhong rolled his eyes, how could he know what to do? It was not his idea to use two thousand men to conquer Dongzhou.
"It's settled, I will send troops to Dongzhou in three days!"
"You also tell the news simultaneously."
"Just do it!"
Zhang Baoyi grinned.
Recently, the gunpowder has been almost prepared.
Under Zhang Bao's instructions, the men of the Tielin Army went to Hejian Village to take gunpowder and go to the mountains to blow up tigers and wolves when they had nothing to do.
The whole mountain is already full of potholes.
The people from the Tielin Army were bombing in front, and the people from the Mojin Brigade behind them immediately followed.
Unexpectedly, there are still many good things in this mountain.
For the people in the gold mining team, they really didn't expect that there were so many treasures in this mountain col. They really didn't pay attention to it before.
According to Zhang Bao's estimation, it is very likely that there was some glory near Hejian Village many years ago, but due to changes in the landform, the original place has become the current mountain range.
For the people of the Tielin Army, they must adapt to the use of explosives and the explosion scenarios. Otherwise, if this thing is not operated properly, it is likely to cause zero damage to the enemy and damage the entire army.
When I was in the army.
Throwing grenades is a must.
The whole army needs to be trained.
Not only to learn how to use grenades, but more importantly to practice courage.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to accept the situation on the battlefield where artillery fire is flying without adapting in advance.
Although the cost for Zhang Bao and the others to make explosives is still relatively high, Zhang Bao must let everyone try it out in advance.
When he was in the recruit company, Zhang Bao was envious of the marksmanship of those in the special brigade.
But the old squad leader once told him that these soldiers are completely trained with bullets. New guns will be useless in less than a year. The investment cost for each person in the special brigade can support several ordinary squads of them.
.
Zhang Bao had previously talked to those members of the special forces who secretly came to the cooking class in the middle of the night to grab food. They all relied on feeling when shooting, and the same was true for throwing grenades. There was no other way to survive with bullets.
.
Therefore, Zhang Bao also understands that this is not the time to save money, and there are still costs that should be incurred.
After Zhang Bao's training of the Tielin Army, the people of the Tielin Army are all familiar with explosives. Before, they would be stunned for a long time when they heard the explosion. Now some brave people dare to hold explosives and watch.
The fuse is almost burned before throwing it away.
Of course, when these people returned, without exception, they were all hung up by Zhang Bao and exposed in the military camp for three days.
Fighting requires a spirit that is not afraid of death.
But not being afraid of death and taking the initiative to die are two different things.
After Zhang Bao's severe punishment, everyone became honest.
For people in the army, all of them are very energetic. If they hadn't vented through a lot of training, they would be like thorns, looking for trouble everywhere.
After hearing the news that Zhang Bao was taking them to Dongzhou to cause trouble.
The Tielin Army has been on fire for the past three days.
There was the sound of sharpening knives everywhere.
Zhang Bao divided the two thousand Tielin troops into one hundred squads, with Bao Wei's thirty-six riders and some bright-minded people specially selected by Zhang Bao as captains. Each squad had its own leader.
Pack of explosives, quietly heading towards Dongzhou.
The men and horses of the Tielin Army are themselves veterans tempered by battles.
In addition, the men of the Thirty-sixth Cavalry of Baowei had nothing to do and stayed with the Tielin Army all day long. The Tielin Army now also has the awareness of special operations.
According to Zhang Bao's instructions, they cannot enter Dongzhou openly, but they can disguise themselves as various caravans and people fleeing to sneak into Dongzhou.
Waiting for Zhang Bao's instructions.
Zhang Bao himself, along with Lao He and the women's kitchen knife brigade, pulled several carriages and headed towards Dongzhou.
Actually originally.
Zhang Bao wanted Lao He to continue to dominate the Hezhou side.
If something happens, all he needs to do is call out.
"Fathers and fellow villagers! Someone is coming to attack us. Pick up the weapons in your hands and fight them!"
It is estimated that everyone in Hezhou is really a soldier.
But Lao He was unwilling to do anything, and during this period of time, Lao He was almost getting sick.
According to the complaints of the women's kitchen knife brigade, today's dad is just like an old monkey. Anyone who can climb walls and houses will never stay underground.
Even when eating, I ate squatting on a chair. One night when it was time to have dinner, no one could find Lao He.
After yelling for a long time, I discovered that Lao He was watching the stars on the roof.
People asked why.
Lao He said to everyone that the vastness of the sky is beyond human comprehension...
This time Lao He can come out. In addition to Lao He's death threats, the people in the women's kitchen knife brigade also begged for mercy. There is no other way. If Lao He continues to stay like this, he is probably not far from Alzheimer's disease...
no way.
Zhang Bao could only take Lao He with him, but the winery still needed people to stay, so Zhang Bao only selected about twenty people from the women's brigade to follow him.
He also bought a lot of wine, pretended to be a wine businessman, and strolled towards Dongzhou.
