Chapter 606: The Navy is here

Along the entrance of the Tuojiang River, it is the gateway of Tuojiang River and the Tuojiang Water Village. The site selection of the water village is very clever. There is almost a 90-degree right angle turn here. The water village is built on this right angle, across the river. The water village buildings made of giant trees stand tall, and on the shore, there are important camp-style military camps. Now, the water village and the fortresses are no longer the Zeng family flag, but the Ning Wang Nanjun flag.

Zheng Zhiyuan stood on a thousand-stuff warship, stroking the Dingzhou Navy flag with his hand, and was unable to calm down. When Zeng rebelled, more than a dozen thousand-stuff warships and thousands of navy troops under his command could no longer sail out of this water camp, and they were all buried on the Tuojiang River. The water gate that stared at the water camp slowly rose, Zheng Zhiyuan showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth. It won’t take long to make you ignite a raging fire.

According to the agreement between Li Qing and King Ning, Li Qing would withdraw the Dingzhou army that was still operating in the Liaoshen area. This time, Zheng Zhiyuan led more than a dozen thousand-capacity warships to go to Baima Ferry to pick up Chen Zeyue, Tang Hu and his group who were still there.

Standing on the boat, you could vaguely see the cold light flashing on the water village, and the crossbows, and the soldiers who opened their eyes wide and looked vigilantly at their group of soldiers. Zheng Zhiyuan raised a middle finger at them contemptuously, then brushed his sleeves and turned around and walked into the cabin.

Although the Tuojiang River Village hung up the banner of King Ning, the Pang army's navy had not yet entered a large scale. It only symbolically sent some naval officers to enter here and began to implement management. If the navy wanted to come over, it still had to coordinate with the Dingzhou navy. Until now, Deng Peng's huge navy still surrounded the coast of Liaozhou. The war situation against Liaozhou was not lifted.

The result of the negotiation between Pang Jun and Deng Peng was brought back by Deng Peng on the grounds that he had not received the order from Li Dashui. On the far sea, the navy sent by Pang Jun was blocked by the Dingzhou Navy and could not pass.

"Commander Deng, I have fully demonstrated our sincerity. It's time for you to give me a happy word!" Pang Jun, with white hair, was standing on the Qiyuan No. 1, which was stationed on the far sea. On one side, Deng Peng, the commander of the Dingzhou Navy, stood on his side.

Although the Dingzhou Army still implemented a ban on Liaozhou, Pang Army still ordered the Tuojiang River Village to open the door to the Dingzhou Navy and let the other party go upstream to pick up the Dingzhou army from Baimadu in exchange for the Dingzhou Navy to release the water passage and lift the ban on Liaozhou.

"Now our two families are friendly but not enemies. No matter how many grudges the Zeng family had with Dingzhou in the past, now that they have surrendered to King Ning, they are subordinates of King Ning!" Pang Jun held the side of the ship and said to Deng Peng.

"Our troops have received the order from Dingzhou. After taking back the Baimadu army, the Dingzhou navy will all evacuate!" Deng Peng smiled without a smile on his face and stared at Pang Jun and said, "General Pang, Zeng's army has killed tens of thousands of troops in Dingzhou. Even if it is my Dingzhou navy, thousands of people are buried here without any precautions. I, Deng Peng, will definitely revenge this. We and him will eventually settle the debt. I will not give up the heads of the Zeng father and son!"

Pang Jun smiled, "Commander Deng, let's talk about the matter next day. Since Zeng surrendered to King Ning, it will be my Pang Jun friendly army. If Commander Deng wants to settle the score with them in the future, he may have to pass my level first."

"It is my honor to be able to fight General Pang!" Deng Peng said with a smile: "I am afraid that both of us will not be on the same order of magnitude by then. The old general should not say that I bully you!"

Pang Jun laughed, "Let's wait and see!" Although his face was relaxed, Pang Jun's heart was not at all. Deng Peng's threat was not vernacular. Although the Dingzhou Navy agreed to withdraw from Liaozhou, it still maintained a chain-like *** to the entire coast on the outer sea. It took Lianshan Island and other large islands on the outer sea as the base, so that the Dingzhou Navy had an innate advantage before the two sides had even fought. Moreover, according to intelligence, Dingzhou's second large ship with 10,000 materials had been launched and tried, and was about to be incorporated into the navy soon.

Looking at the giant under his feet, Pang Jun frowned slightly. The Dingzhou Navy had a large ship worth nearly a year. I believe that with Deng Peng's ability, he had already figured out some tactics. Although the Southern Army had obtained a full set of construction drawings from Li Qing, it had only just completed the construction of the entire ship's keel in the Southern Shipyard. It would take at least half a year to launch the water, and it would take almost a year to form combat power.

Unexpectedly, Li Qing, a commander from an army general, attached so much importance to the construction of the navy. The development of the Dingzhou Navy had long left the Southern Army Navy, which had previously dominated the sea, far behind. I am afraid that for a long time, the Southern Army General could only focus on near-shore defense and could not go to the outside seas to compete with the opponent.

On the Baima Dun, the Dingzhou army had shrunk from tens of thousands at most to less than 5,000. The more than 2,000 Dingzhou army led by Chen Zeyue and Tang Hu to the mountain were excluded from the injured and disabled but could not fight again, with only more than 800 people. The 1,000 Dingzhou veterans under Jin Chao who were originally stationed in Baima Dun were only more than 500 left, and Liu Yuan's troops had less than 2,000 people to participate in the battle. The losses were heavy.

After the Baima Dun siege was lifted, the Nev and the Lu army retreated, but Zeng Yifan still left about 10,000 troops stationed at Baima Dun and implemented a *** squad against the Dingzhou army. This made the situation of the army on the mountain even more difficult. Fortunately, Liu Yuan had a relatively generous reserve before, so that the combat soldiers could have a dry meal every day, while other non-combatants could only eat a porridge every day to save their lives. Fortunately, there was nothing on Baima Mount, but there was no shortage of firewood. Otherwise, it would be hard to say how many wounded people could survive in the snow and ice last year.

What makes the persistent people on the White Horse Ferry stronger is that intelligence personnel lurk at the foot of the mountain from time to time to convey the latest battle situation to them. The news of the Dingzhou army's rapid advancement and a complete victory all the way made their fighting spirit even higher. Everyone firmly believed that as long as they persist, there will always be a day to clear the clouds and mist and see the blue sky.

The army at the foot of the mountain was decreasing day by day. By February, there were only about 3,000 people left, which was less than the force on the mountain. However, the soldiers on the mountain did not have the strength to go down the mountain to fight a battle at this time. The surroundings of the White Horse Ferry were sparsely populated and could not raise the food and grass needed by the army. Chen Zeyue would not risk going down the mountain. Victory was right in front of him. If he went down the mountain at this time and was swallowed by his opponent in one bite, it would be hard to say. The combat effectiveness of the army on the mountain is almost zero. All the soldiers were hungry and were not full for a long time and lacked nutrition. It was already very good for soldiers to hold weapons. What made Chen Zeyue even more worried was that almost all the soldiers had the night blind formation, and at night, they were equivalent to blind men. If the Zeng army came to attack at this time, Chen Zeyue really couldn't guarantee that he could defend the position.

Fortunately, the general's victory scared his opponent. Since February, Baimadu has never been attacked again. One of them was at the foot of the mountain and the other was on the mountain, and they lived next to each other, and they were still peaceful.

In the blink of an eye, it was already March. Spring was blooming, and the snow covering Baima Mountain had already melted, and the forest slowly recovered its vitality. This gave the soldiers a new task every day to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. The edible wild vegetables that had just been drawn were almost picked. If they could occasionally catch a prey, it would be a surprise.

Chen Zeyue sat on a stretcher and was carried to the top of the Baima Duke Fort. Since yesterday, the army at the foot of the mountain suddenly began a large-scale retreat. Today, the original camp has disappeared, leaving only a mess all over the ground. Chen Zeyue stroked his broken legs and watched the surging Tuojiang River rolling down, his joy couldn't help but be reflected on his face.

"I'm finally going to be free!"

"General, why are you so happy today?" asked several of his personal soldiers carrying him.

"We are going home!" Chen Zeyue said, "Did you see it? All the enemies are gone. It must be that our navy is coming, we are going home!"

"Go home?" The veterans choked up their voices, "Are we really going home?"

"Old Chen, why did you come here?" Tang Hu's unique loud voice rang behind Chen Zeyue, "Hahaha, Old Chen, I was so lucky today that I actually found a blind bear in the mountains. Mom's, but she was also skinny and thin. I and a few personal soldiers took a lot of effort to deal with him. Mom's, if it were before, I would have fucked him alone!" Tang Hu walked over happily, "We have a good time today. I left four bear paws, and the rest asked the soldiers to drag them to make soup, and each of them was also a bit of meat."

Tang Hu, who was with a tiger back and a bear waist, was also so thin that he had lost his shape. His face was deep, and his one-eyed eye became increasingly visible. While rubbing his hands excitedly, he ran towards Chen Zeyue.

"You guys, carry Lao Chen, let's go back and eat it. Mom's, it's okay to smell the fragrance first!" Tang Hu laughed hoarsely. Chen Zeyue couldn't help but. Tang Hu, no matter what kind of desperate situation, could always maintain an optimistic attitude. Several soldiers raised the stretcher and prepared to go back.

After walking a few steps, a personal soldier looked back inadvertently, but suddenly he was stunned. On the Tuojiang River, white sails appeared.

"Boat!" he murmured, and when he loosened his hands, the stretcher suddenly became crooked. Chen Zeyue, who was defenseless, whipped, fell down and fell to the ground.

"Ship!" The personal soldier suddenly screamed at the top of his lungs.

Tang Hu turned around and even Chen Zeyue, who was falling to the ground, turned his head and looked at the Tuojiang River at the foot of the mountain. He was closer and closer, and could already see the flags flying on the ship. Dingzhou Navy, that was Dingzhou Navy.

Tang Hu didn't know where the strength came from. He bent down and pulled Chen Zeyue up. With a wave of his hand, he actually put Chen Zeyue on his shoulder. "Old Chen, the boat is here, the navy is here, we are overwhelmed, hahaha!"

On the Tuojiang River, Zheng Zhiyuan stood at the bow of the first ship, staring at Baima Mountain with bright eyes, the flying high but somewhat broken Dingzhou military flag.
