Chapter 1134

Huge meteorites need a special way to transport to eastern Xinjiang. Therefore, Fangjie dispatched a cavalry team of 10000 people to escort them. It is still unknown what role this thing will play in the eastern battlefield, but there is no doubt that as long as it is successfully transported, Fang Xie will not waste its power.

Yan Kuang was ordered to escort the meteorite with a team, while Fang Xie took others to catch up with the team. San Jin Hou Wu and the main force of the black flag army had set out a few months ago and calculated the distance. The vanguard army had almost joined Nalan dingdong.

This time, not only yezhuhan and Shiwan, who came out of 100000 mountains, followed Fang Xie eastward. There was also a large number of Jianghu guests called by Xiang qingniu, of which nearly 40% were from authentic sects, and the rest were Jianghu sects who attended the Wulin conference in Chang'an city.

Most of them are because of the blood in their bones. The black flag army wants to fight in the east to destroy the invaders. These people are still proud of Jianghu people. They are willing to contribute to the battlefield and kill more enemy enemies who harm the Han people. Of course, some of them naturally want to take this opportunity to show themselves in front of Fang Xie and gain a good future.

But no matter what the starting point is, they are heroes.

There were about 6000 or 7000 Jianghu guests around Fang Xie, who took the ship left by the navy to meet Fang Xie. In order to show the military strength of the black flag army, King Wu's majesty, the transformed dragon boat began its first trip to eastern Xinjiang. This dragon boat was not built by Emperor Taizong during his southern expedition to the state of Chen, but was built during the reign of Zhenzong. Compared with Taizong's dragon boat, this one is much larger.

It took Zhuque Shanshui stronghold shipyard three years to transform the dragon boat into the fierce water beast. It's not just big now. It's stronger and more aggressive than when it was first built. As the largest warship in the navy of the black flag army, the dragon boat can be installed with enough guns after transformation. These guns are recast and upgraded according to the guns of the opru empire.

It has to be said that although Andrew is a person with limited knowledge, he is really a flexible and easy-to-use person. He studied the artillery of the opru Empire captured by Fang Xie, and then found out the shortcomings and improved them. It can be said that now this ship is the most powerful war machine that Andrew has transformed.

Artillery has unparalleled advantages in long-range attack. In order to ensure that it can attack the enemy within 100 meters, many improved crossbows are also installed on warships. These crossbows can shoot heavy crossbows bound with tough ropes. The special heavy crossbows have barbs. Once they are hung on the enemy's warship, it is difficult to take them off.

When the two ships approach, the dragon boat can completely rely on this to invade the enemy ship. Trained sailors can climb the shot rope and attack the enemy's warship. Even if we can't break in, relying on the absolute advantage of the dragon boat in the word "big", we can make the enemy ship completely lose combat effectiveness after hanging the rope.

In order to ensure that the dragon boat can adapt to naval warfare, the four story ship building on the dragon boat was demolished. In this way, the stability of the hull is higher and can better adapt to the wind and waves on the sea.

In order to build such a huge ship, Fang Xie did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and pasted an iron plate on the outside of the hull. While ensuring the firmness of the hull, the problem of increasing the weight of the hull has been studied for a long time.

At least two thousand craftsmen and shipbuilders took three years to expose the monster.

In front of the dragon boat, there are 12 Huanglong express ships that can carry 200 or 300 people. Each Huanglong express ship can carry two centipede express ships. Followed by the dragon boats are 18 five tooth ships, and then hundreds of yellow dragons. This scale, when marching eastward on the Yangtze River waterway, has shocked many people's hearts.

At the beginning, Fang Xie ordered that the two naval divisions in the northwest work together to transport more than 100000 people and horses from Chen Dingnan and Chen Dongshan to eastern Xinjiang. After the assignment, the Navy General Duan Zheng returned to the Zhuque mountain camp and transferred the brand-new navy fleet from the water stronghold. These warships were built by Zhuque Shanshui stronghold in recent years and have not experienced war.

At that time, the army in the northwest included more than 100000 troops under Chen Dingnan and Chen Dongshan. There are also about 100000 troops from Gao Kaitai's headquarters led by Lu Fenghou, and about 100000 infantry led by Cui Zhongzhen. Cui Zhongzhen's team, Fang Xie, has been transferred back to Chang'an city.

During the eastern expedition, the Fang solution ordered Marquis Lu Feng to join the troops of Du Dingbei, Jin Shixiong and Xu Xiaogong at the front line of lingmen pass in Qinhe, and join the elite black flag army brought out from Chang'an City by Marquis Wu of San Jin, forming a huge army with a scale of more than 500000 people. This does not include more than 100000 people in Chen Dingnan and Chen Dongshan.

In addition to the follow-up team liberated from the top, the total strength of the black flag army this time exceeds 700000. If you add the people and horses of Nalan dingdong headquarters who first went to eastern Xinjiang, more than 800000 people of the black flag army have invested in the eastern battlefield, accounting for most of the total strength of the black flag army.

The black flag army now has more than one million troops. However, in Yunnan Province, which has just been laid down for a few years, enough troops should be left to defend the Southwest Foundation. In the south of the Yangtze River, we should leave enough troops to deter. In the northwest roads, there were also people and horses who regretted themselves in the Song Dynasty at war with the routed troops of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.

There is no doubt that Fang Xie put all his eggs in one basket for the war in eastern Xinjiang.

……

……

Xiang qingniu stood on the bow with his waist pinched and his head held high. He was so afraid of water that he could stand there in such a heroic posture. Obviously, the stability of the dragon boat is good enough. The huge of the warship doomed the limitations of the dragon boat. In order to get the boat out of the Zhuque mountain stockade, it is a big project to broaden and deepen the river connecting Xuanwu Lake and Luoshui.

Fortunately, the location of Zhuque Shanshui stronghold is good enough.

Xuanwu Lake is a large lake artificially opened by fangxie. It borrows the river water of huangniu River in the north, and then widens the river channel to connect with Luoshui. From Xuanwu Lake to the East, you can enter Luoshui along the river, and then pass Xinyang City from Luoshui to the north, followed by the famous Sanjiangkou.

From Sanjiangkou to the Yangtze River, all the way is unimpeded.

"Fang Xie, have you thought about going to Dongjiang this time? In case you lose... What do you do?"

Xiang qingniu suddenly asked a very serious question.

Fang Xie sat and looked at the sky in a daze. When he heard Xiang qingniu's question, he smiled: "if you lose, just fight again if you don't die. No one in the Central Plains should stand up more than me. If I lose, no one will stand up."

"Sometimes we always ignore a lot of things. If I just think that if I come and lose, I will lose a lot of things, so if I don't come, others may not come. Everyone thinks that it's none of their own business, and it's too late to resist when it's about themselves. At the beginning, I also thought that once I lead my troops to leave the foundation , will someone take advantage of it and lose what I already have? "

He looked at Xiang qingniu and said, "there must be some people who think so, but they don't necessarily do that. What I said just now is that I think I have something that others don't have... To put it grandly is national emotion. To put it more popularly, it means that outsiders are not allowed to call."

"It is undeniable that there is no shortage of Yang Shunhui's scum who is willing to be a dog for the enemy. What's more... Men who are willing to stand up and die to protect their villagers and elders!"

He pointed to the soldiers: "they, they, and so many Jianghu people who came with the army, do they... Have anything to do with the people in eastern Xinjiang?"

Fang Xie breathed a long sigh of relief: "if there is no, there is no, because if there is no such war, they may never go to Dongjiang. If there is, there is. Because we are all Han people and masters of this land."

Xiang qingniu understood.

He didn't think so much before. He just felt that whoever fucking hit my house would just call back. As for national feelings, he never considered them. Perhaps most of the hundreds of thousands of good men who went to war in eastern Xinjiang are as simple as him.

No one can bully his own people.

"I may lose everything."

Fang Xie said, "but I shouldn't regret it."

Xiang qingniu's words by Fang Xie were so bloody that he couldn't help yelling at the sky.

"Speaking of it, I hate those people in eastern Xinjiang. For example, the people of Penglai sect don't look like Jianghu people. For the people of Mu house, it seems that only their own family's honor and disgrace are important... But when they need to fight to the death, they don't shrink back. I never thought that I would work hard for the people I hate..."

Xiang qingniu suddenly laughed: "Lord Tao never lost his righteousness!"

He was like a man who suddenly lost his mind, shouting and laughing loudly. No one knew. He remembered the mountain gate called Penglai sect he had broken through. There, he once unscrupulously beat the people he hated.

It was also in that place that the remaining disciples of Penglai sect, whom he hated, fought bloody battles with enemies far stronger than them for a month together with 5000 Mufu soldiers, and finally all died.

No one would have thought how strong the fire in Xiang qingniu's heart was now. It was the anger of revenge. In the place where he had been, the people he hated fought with foreigners and were killed by foreigners. Now, he's going to avenge those people he hates... Contradiction?

no

No contradiction!

Such a story has happened more than once on this land. For example, in Dongjiang, two neighbors were at odds. When the male owner of one family died on the battlefield, the male owner of the other family resolutely picked up his hoe and joined the team against foreigners.

At this time, he wanted to avenge the neighbor he hated. Maybe it won't be long before the graves of two people who will be jealous when they see each other will also become close neighbors.

Perhaps no one cares about the people behind the battlefield. The women in the brothel took out their savings to buy Leather and sent it to the military camp, just for the protection of the soldiers. Those old people and women sat in their homes day and night holding the soles of their shoes so that the soles of their feet would not grind blood bubbles when the soldiers marched.

Eastern Xinjiang

It has become a place in everyone's heart.

Sitting further away, Shiwan, who was suffering from seasickness, looked puzzled at Xiang qingniu, who roared, and asked ye zhuhan, who was also depressed sitting beside him, "senior brother, what is that fat man roaring?"

Ye zhuhan was silent for a while. He was weak but replied in a very heavy tone: "roaring unyielding."
