(Thanks to the sword of the sky and njstar for their support, thank you!)

The Qin army's landing in Vladivostok was extremely successful and smooth.

The port where only one thousand-person team of Marine cavalry was stationed, before they could react, was flooded by the Qin army like a rising tide. Strike boats were lowered from the transport ship, like huge fish rising from the tide, and quickly rushed into the port. Under the cover of the bows and arrows of flying thunder cannons, the navy marines skillfully landed on the dock according to the pre-simulated landing combat plan. The Marines, the Marines were stationed scattered near the port and were completely caught off guard. By the time they reacted, they had become prisoners of the navy marines.

After taking down the port, the Navy Marines set off three green signal flares.

The huge fleet began to enter the port slowly, and warships lined up along the port, and warships were filled with catapults, crossbows and artillery vehicles, ready to attack the enemy troops that might arrive at any time.

The transport ship and landing ship sailed into the port dock under the guidance of speedboats.

The landing scale is unprecedented, not only more than 300,000 people, but also a large number of horses, as well as food and weapons and other supplies.

The tribal coalition at the port and all the former Bohai people were immediately controlled by the soldiers of the Tiger Shark Legion, the Navy Marine Corps, who came ashore first. They were driven out of barracks, shops, houses, prisoners, etc., and then rushed to a temporary camp by the sea and were all taken into custody.

Then, the marines of the Tiger Shark Legion continued to advance without stopping. In the evening of that day, they had occupied the town of Archo, which was guarded by only one hundred men. This was the must-pass place on the Amur Peninsula and the northern continent. It was a pass between the Peninsula and the Tohoku Mausoleum. The status was very important. However, because the Bohai people had retreated to Tokyo long ago. The main attack direction of the tribal coalition was also in Zhongjing and Fuyu Prefecture, and there was only a partial division in Tokyo. As for the Rubin Mansion in their opinion, they had not arranged much troops. On the peninsula that was the southernmost peninsula of the Rubin Mansion, they only deployed a thousand cavalry team.

March in the Central Plains is already full of mountains and flowers, peaches and plums are fragrant, and April is already colorful and flowers are blooming. But here, the temperature is still below minus 20 degrees Celsius. The northeastern part of the Bohai Sea, the colder the temperature is at a low temperature of more than minus 40 degrees Celsius. In the northeastern part of the Bohai Sea, at the end of February and early March, it is the season with the thickest snow in the year.

Spring is already in March in the Central Plains, but in the northeast of the Bohai Sea, it is only in April that it is considered to be spring.

The Vladivostok port area is close to the ocean. The temperature is slightly higher, but after March, it will still be minus ten degrees Celsius. Even in April, the temperature will still be quarantined at minus low temperature. In such a season, even the front-line battlefields of Xiande Prefecture and Fuyu Prefecture entered the quarantine period a few months ago, and the war has not started again. Naturally, the rear of this side is even less prepared. They could not have thought that the Qin army would suddenly come from the sea at this time, and did not land in Longhewan, Tokyo, but ran here directly.

After the Marines controlled the town of Archo, it means that the entire Amur Peninsula and the archipelago behind were safe and stable.

A large number of troops began to land and entered the peninsula. The 100,000 civilians and more than 200,000 water and land forces, which came with the ship, began to start construction on the peninsula and the archipelago, and soon turned it into a huge construction site.

The first ones to be established were barracks, warehouses, and track roads extending north along the dock.

Build barracks, build kangs, build large chimneys, warehouses...

A huge fleet of three thousand ships is constantly pouring out all kinds of things into the port, including soldiers, war horses, food, clothing, arms, etc.

On the shore of the pier, tracks and roads have been laid, and a large amount of materials have been put on the shore, forcing the villagers to continue to lay more tracks so that the carriages can transport these materials from the shore as soon as possible.

After seven consecutive days, the Qin army's landing had not been completed, but Vladivostok Port had expanded more than ten times larger than before. It seemed to have become a huge armory. Arms as high as mountains were piled up in warehouses one by one on the peninsula. The warehouses that stretched for more than ten miles were filled with bundles of brand new spears, ridges, horizontal knives, feather arrows, bowstrings, crossbow arrows, gunpowder, etc.

The Qin army transported a total of 500,000 horses alone, and there were twenty war horses alone. There were also those thunder cannons, general cannons, crossbows, catapults, complete sets, and scattered pieces, and warehouses were piled up one after another.

For safety reasons, it is stored on the Bear Island opposite the sea from the port. The Bear Island is about forty miles long and about thirty miles wide, and is a natural barrier for the harbor. For the Qin army with strong naval power, it guarded the Amur Peninsula, occupied the port of Vladivostok, and at the same time stockpiled heavy materials such as food, gunpowder and other heavy materials on the Bear Island. The sea surface about five miles wide was enough to make the tribal coalition army sigh.

On Bear Island, there are three most important materials for the Eastern Expedition troops, including food, gunpowder, and cotton coats.

The Eastern Expedition troops came directly across the sea, and their logistics supply had to rely entirely on the batch of grain they carried, until they could invade the Bohai area occupied by the coalition forces and obtain supplies. The food and grass of hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of horses became more and more important. For this battle, the Qin army prepared for several years, especially in the past two years, the people in the vassal tightened their belts to save food. The military continued to hoard grains and produced a large amount of canned food.

In places like Bohai, abandoning the fortress and city and actively fighting with the coalition forces is also a great challenge for the Qin army. Therefore, firearms are very important to the Qin army. Especially for this huge war, it is becoming more and more important.

In addition to food and gunpowder, cotton coats appear more important.

In Vladivostok, which is more than 20 degrees below zero, many Qin soldiers have never experienced such a severe cold in their lives. Not to mention, the weather will be even colder after advancing north. According to information collected by the Military Intelligence Bureau, last year, in this area, the deepest snow was six feet and six deep, nearly seven feet. The depth of snow means that the snow is even deeper than many people. In such a severe cold, there is no clothing to keep warm. The original soldiers in the large army cannot even guarantee survival. How can they talk about fighting?

Fortunately, the Qin army had already started planting cotton in Liaodong and western regions many years ago. Over the years, the cotton yield has gradually increased and there have been a lot of storage.

Cotton jackets, wool sweaters, over-the-knee cotton coats, leather gloves and cotton gloves, leather hats, wool toe neck covers. Cotton pants, cotton socks, cotton shoes, leather boots, wool blankets, cotton quilts, leather tents, warm sleeping bags, white wine, snow cream, frostbite cream, mouth fat, fireproof matches... The defensive equipment of the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition was almost armed to their teeth.

In addition, the Qin army also brought a large amount of new equipment, sleds, and ice sleds...

When teams of vanguard cavalry were sent to all directions for armed reconnaissance, Vladivostok's landing power was still in progress.

Hundreds of thousands of people flocked into the port, almost overnight. The peninsula that extends from the port to the inland suddenly appeared like mushrooms after rain, and towns made of ice and snow walls and tents were built. The soldiers of the Eastern Expedition were behind the ice and snow walls. According to the instructions, they used ice cubes and snow towers to build iglooes that could accommodate about ten people, and then set up leather tents inside. They laid leather mats and wool blankets on the ground. When they were sleeping, they crawled into the sleeping bag and covered the quilts outside. In this way, most soldiers from the Central Plains could finally sleep peacefully at night without trembling.

At the beginning, many soldiers from Central China, especially some who were originally brought from Jianghuai, felt incredible and deeply afraid and worried when they saw them building houses with ice and snow on the ground. In broad daylight, they were fully armed and had cold teeth fighting. Isn’t this going to make people feel cold when they lived in an ice nest at night?

It was hard for them to accept how the officers Ren explained. Fortunately, it was very simple to build an igloo. After a large igloo was set up, Li Jing was the first to go in and then called some southern soldiers to go in. Not long after, the soldiers who were originally standing outside were trembling and trembling all came out of the inside, but they all blushed. It was not that they were shy, but that the igloo was very warm. They were wearing too much. When they went in just now, some even put blankets on their bodies, and as a result, they became hot.

At first, the other soldiers didn't believe it, but when they followed them to cut ice and sweep the snow to build an igloo, and then they couldn't wait to enter it, they felt that it was much warmer inside.

Especially when they surrounded the igloo with their respective leather tents, the igloo became warmer.

Outside, there are only minus 20 degrees Celsius, but only minus 70 degrees Celsius in the igloo. If the igloo is surrounded with leather, the house can even reach a high temperature of minus 10 degrees Celsius. In addition, their leather mats, blankets, sleeping bags, quilts, etc., many soldiers have to take off their thick sweaters and cotton robes until midnight. Some strong soldiers who grew up in Liaodong even slept until midnight and fell asleep in their sleeping bags.

The less you wear, the more you take off, the warmer and more comfortable you sleep!

After entering this northern country, many soldiers also began to use snow to wipe their faces and body.

Due to the large number of people, the military camps on the peninsula are dozens of miles long, and there are long queues for bathing, going to the toilet and eating every day.

Finally, on the ninth day of landing, the vanguard cavalry of the Qin army had already entered the inland for a hundred miles and wiped out all the tribal coalition forces in this area. Even the residents of the Bohai Sea within this range were brought back by the Qin army. Like those coalition prisoners of war, they became the construction workers of the Qin army's advance base, Vladivostok.

The Qin army needed their labor to capture them, but the most important thing was to keep them secret.

Hundreds of thousands of people landed in Vladivostok, which was a big deal. But here has just passed the month when the snow was the deepest every year, and the temperature was still minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. The coalition camp was very far away from this seaside. In such weather, it is normal that there is no news for a month or two. The key is that as long as the Qin army's reconnaissance cavalry controlled the surrounding area, they could be silent in a short period of time.

On March 30th, the last day of March, Li Jing sat alone in his igloo.

The landing has basically been completed, and the 200,000 troops of the landing troops have initially adapted to the weather in the north. Moreover, with the end of March, the temperature here is also rising, and the eastern part of the Bohai Sea has also begun to enter spring.

In this warm and cold northern country, the coalition forces were still huddled in the cave like poisonous snakes, and before they could recover. After a while, they were about to strike again. Now it was time. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops landed. It was impossible to hide it from the coalition forces for too long. More importantly, although the Qin army had 3,000 ships, the food they could transport was limited after all, especially they brought 500,000 horses.

This time, Li Jing emptyed the entire Qin Fan family's property, and he cleaned the bottom of the warehouse.

Qin Fan's 200,000 elite troops, and several years of savings, this is a battle that must be won. Li Jing could not delay too long. He needed to launch an attack immediately, while the Qin army was in a strong spirit and when the coalition forces had not yet discovered their arrival and were unprepared, they launched this attack.

Li Jing had studied this combat plan countless times. After the landing was successful, their march was to go north along the Suifenhe River, which was later Suifenhe. The wide and thick ice surface was the flattest march road. Following this road, they went directly north and first took down the Huazhou City of Shubin Mansion on the banks of Shubin River. Then they captured Jianzhou westward and approached Shangjing Longquan Mansion directly. Then their goal was not to directly attack Shangjing, but to attack Bozhou behind Shangjing Longquan Mansion.

Bozhou is located north of Shangjing, which is the Mudanjiang River in later generations. This is also an important town on the Huhan River. Occupying this place is equivalent to cutting off the road from the Shangjing coalition.

It turned out that the Qin army was composed of two defense lines in the Bohai Sea, Fuyu and Zhongjing. These two defense lines were mainly built along the Weimoshui in the west and the Huhan River in the east. The two rivers formed an inverted eight characters and finally extended to the south. They gathered in the original Yalu Mansion in Xijing, and the Qin army's current Qin army's defense in the past few years has been such a V-shaped defense network, with two lines and three points firmly blocking the attack of the coalition forces.

Now, Li Jing went around from the sea to the upper right corner of the V character, but immediately connected the Weizhou on the Fuyu Jingmo Water Defense Line and Zhongjing on the Huhan River Defense Line to form a triangle with their target Bozhou behind Shangjing, and surrounded the right-hand side of Shangjing in this triangle formation.

The route of the tribal coalition attacking the Bohai Sea was actually very clear. They went south from the Heilongjiang River in later generations, and then divided into two groups, entering the south of the Weimo River and attacking the northwest of the Bohai Sea. One part entered the Huhan River south and attacked the northeast of the Bohai Sea. The Weimo River is also known as the Second Songhua River in modern times, flowing in the Songhua River in the west. It is the southern source of the Songhua River and the main source. The Huhan River is Mudanjiang. The coalition forces invade the Bohai Sea, Heilongjiang, Nenjiang, Songjiang River, and Mudanjiang along these major rivers.

The Khitan and Shiwei entered the Songhua River from the Nenjiang River, while the Mariner entered the Songhua River from the Wulong River.

Then, after occupying the northern part of the Bohai Sea, the tribe and the coalition forces were divided into two left and right armies. The left side went from Songhua River to enter the Xiliu Songhua River Basin and headed south to attack the Fuyu defense line. The right side went from Songhua River to enter the Mudanjiang River Basin and attacked the defense line of Zhongjing Xiandefu.

If Li Jing can successfully occupy Bozhou on the banks of Mudan River, it will be a way to capture the rear of the coalition forces' right-hand troops. Moreover, if he can recapture Shangjing, this will be good news for the Allied forces on the Bohai battlefield that lasted for several years.

However, it is 800 miles from Vladivostok to Bozhou, and the actual distance is at least 1,000 miles. This distance is very long, and along the way, the coalition forces occupied the controlled areas, and they had to pass through the prefectures and counties and fight all the way.

Li Jing was meditating alone, smoking constantly, and the house was filled with smoke.

Distance is the best defense, and this sentence makes sense. Li Jing was worried that the coalition forces would have been prepared before they arrived in Bozhou. In that case, it would be difficult to capture Bozhou and surround the coalition right-wing army.

Perhaps he should wait a few more days. According to previous records and predictions of Guantian and Onmyoji, the days ahead will be continuous sunny and good weather, and the temperature in this area will continue to rise. In another half a month, the temperature may be much warmer than it is now, which is conducive to marching and fighting.

At sunset, Li Jing finally walked out of the igloo where no one was allowed to get close to disturb. The senior generals of the army had already stood in two rows and waited for his decision for a long time.

Li Jing had no expression and walked directly into the largest igloo, and the generals entered one after another.

There is no opening remark, and everyone understands that it is time to make a decision.

Li Jing and the generals repeatedly discussed many details for a long time. Finally, Li Jing made a formal decision and immediately set out at dawn the next day. The commander of the army, Zhang Zimiansheng, led 30,000 permanently victorious troops as the front army, and the commander of the army, Guo Chongtao, led half of the Iron Cavalry Army as the left army, including eight armies, a total of 40,000 horses. The Duke of Wei, led the other half of the Iron Cavalry Army as the Right Army, and the same eight armies as the forty thousand horses.

Li Jing personally led the Six Guards as the Central Army, with Duke Wang Chong of Baoguo as the deputy commander, and commanded the commander of the 15,000 Golden Armor Victory Army, the 15,000 Silver Spear Evil Army, the 15,000 Guards Personal Army, as well as the 5,000 Personal Xuyi, the 5,000 Special Service Army, and the 5,000 Eunuch Army, a total of 60,000 people.

The Black Flag Army was led by the commander of the army, including six armies and thirty thousand horses.

Five troops and horses, with a total force of 200,000.

The navy warship officers and soldiers and marines, totaling 30,000, were left behind on the peninsula, with 100,000 civilians, and the first batch of 30,000 people set out with the army to transport food, grass and equipment, while the rest followed later.
Chapter completed!
