Chapter 1583: Pushing Forward

At dusk, Yun Zheng, who was still at sea, received a message from Zhao Liuliang.

They have already defeated the enemy forces that were blocking them, the front troops have completed the landing, and are covering the rear troops to complete the landing.

The enemy's blocking troops withdrew, but Zhao Liuliang did not lead his troops in pursuit.

Their task now is to provide good defense and allow the rest of the troops to land smoothly.

As for the results of the battle, Zhao Liuliang did not say.

I guess we haven't had time to count them yet.

Of course, it is also possible that Zhao Liuliang felt that there was no need for statistics at all.

Judging from the current situation, they will have to stay at sea for another day and will not be able to land until tomorrow.

"Order all units to prepare for defense and prevent the enemy from attacking at night!"

Yun Zheng quickly issued an order: "At the same time, send more patrol boats to guard around the army."

"All patrol boats must keep lanterns lit all night. If the lanterns go out, it means there is an enemy attack."

"If you don't see the enemy coming, extinguish the lanterns and kill everyone on the boat!"

The messenger did not dare to delay and immediately passed on Yun Zheng's order.

After the messenger left, Jia Yao smiled and said to Yun Zheng: "You are a bit too harsh! The wind is so strong on the sea, who knows when the lantern will be blown out."

"Then they'll have to find a way to prevent the lanterns from being blown out!"

Yun Zheng shook his head gently: "It's already this time, we must be vigilant! We suffered unnecessary casualties due to the fog, we must not allow unnecessary casualties to occur again due to our own negligence!"

It's strict if it's strict!

It is better to be strict at this time than to lose troops in vain.

"That's true."

Jia Yao smiled, "Okay, then you go ahead and get busy! I'll go see Luntai and the others and tell them the good news!"

The biggest wish of Luntai and his friends now should be to keep their feet on the ground.

The attack has already reached Yu Country, and they haven't recovered yet.

She couldn't help in the naval battle anyway, so there wasn't much point in her staying here.

In fact, doesn't she want to be down-to-earth?

Drifting on the sea all day, she couldn't help much and felt bored and useless.

But as long as they were on the ground, even if Yun Zheng didn't let her lead the army, she could at least discuss the battle situation with Yun Zheng.

As night fell, Yun Zheng ordered his men to keep an eye on the fire on the lookout boat.

Their main gunboats were also scattered around. As long as the enemy dared to launch a night attack, they would be buried in the sea!

After giving instructions on all matters, Yun Zheng returned to the cabin.

Just as I passed by Qin Qihu's cabin, I saw Qin Qihu wiping his mace.

"no……"

Yun Zheng looked at Qin Qihu with a helpless look, "This is a mace! What's so good about it?"

You said you can understand sharpening your knife and sword.

What's so good about wiping this mace?

If he had Qin Qihu's brute strength, not only would he not wipe the mace, he would also soak it in a pit of manure.

Even a small scratch can be fatal.

"We're about to go into battle, we have to clean our weapons!"

Qin Qihu grinned, "We are holding dirty weapons, the enemy will think we are beggars!"

"I think you're just too bored."

Yun Zheng smiled and glared at Qin Qihu, "Don't worry, you will have your own battle to fight after landing in Yu Country!"

In a naval battle, not to mention Qin Qihu and his gang, even he would have to stand aside.

There is no way, they have basically no chance to perform.

Well, just wait until we land in Yu Country.

As long as they complete the landing, it's their turn to perform.

They have been on the expedition for some time!

I don't know what the old man's physical condition is like.

The Yu Kingdom must be destroyed as soon as possible!

If you can’t kill all of them, then kill them slowly!

Let’s destroy their country first, then we can talk about other things!

After a brief chat with Qin Qihu, Yun Zheng returned to his cabin.

Space was limited on the ship, and even his cabin was relatively cramped.

But this is considered an excellent treatment for him.

The vast majority of people are crowded together.

In the cabin, Jia Yao was looking at a map under a lantern.

The light from the lantern was dim, forcing her to get closer to see.

Seeing Yun Zheng coming in, Jia Yao moved slightly to the side to make room for Yun Zheng and continued to look at the map.

Yun Zheng took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, putting his legs on Jia Yao's legs, but his eyes were on the swaying lantern.

I don't know what went wrong with the glass.

No matter how it is fired, it will have some color.

If we could make truly transparent glass, we could make oil lamps with glass covers.

In that case, not only will the light be much better, but it will also be less likely to go out.

He remembered that there was a kind of gas lamp in old movies, which seemed to be particularly bright.

However, he didn't know how it was made. He only knew that the thing seemed to be able to burn kerosene, and it seemed to need to be pumped up manually when used.

If there is such a thing, it should be of great use for navigation.

"Snapped!"

Just when Yun Zheng was daydreaming, Jia Yao gently patted Yun Zheng's foot, "I'm looking at a map! Where are you moving your stinky feet?"

"what?"

Yun Zheng came to his senses and found that his feet had moved to Jia Yao's chest without him knowing.

Damn muscle memory!

Yun Zheng cursed himself in his heart, quickly retracted his foot, and at the same time put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and asked Jia Yao: "Are you specifying the battle plan after landing?"

"Do I need to think about this?"

Jia Yao glanced at Bai Yunzheng and said, "Haven't you thought about it hundreds of times? I memorized the map so that I don't have to look at it anytime and anywhere."

There is no doubt that Yun Zheng must have memorized the map of Yu Country.

They were about to land, so she definitely had to remember the map.

"Do you want to get one yourself?"

Yun Zheng asked Jia Yao with a smile.

"The idea is indeed there."

Jia Yao put down the map and smiled, "However, with so many people leading the army, it doesn't matter if I don't lead the army. I can just watch the fun beside you."

In previous naval battles, many people did not have the opportunity to perform.

People like Gao He must have led the army after landing.

Including people like Luntai and Qinpu, they are all the same.

Yun Zheng brought these people with him to fight the war on the ground.

"You should stop leading the army."

Yun Zheng smiled to himself, "I don't even lead an army! It's such a small place, give those generals some opportunities to show their abilities!"

The State of Yu is at most as big as the two states of Daqian.

Moreover, they are the states within the Great Wall.

Compared with Shuobei, it is not even half as big as Shuobei.

They just need to control the general direction.

Let’s leave the leading of the army to the generals below!

People like Gao He followed us eagerly, didn't they just want to prove themselves on the battlefield?

We have to give them a chance, right?

"Ah."

Jia Yao nodded slightly and asked again: "How do you plan to attack?"

How to attack?

Yun Zheng raised his lips and replied, "Push forward all the way!"

"what?"

Jia Yao was stunned.

"Ah for what!"

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "The territory of Yu Country is long and narrow, and there is not much room for detours. How can we fight if we don't push forward all the way?"

Jia Yao looked down at the map, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and then asked: "What about the sea? The enemy's navy is still capable of fighting. We must leave people on the sea to defend against the enemy, right?"

"Ah."

Yun Zheng nodded gently, "That's for sure! We must completely annihilate the enemy's navy if we have the chance!"

He has been thinking about this problem these two days.

Should we let Sanada Takeshi recruit soldiers to fight for them, or should we let Sanada Takeshi and Zhao Liuliang lead a part of the troops to find the enemy's navy and start a decisive battle...
