Chapter 190 Who is the pioneer(1/2)
The next morning, Huo Bao, who was still on standby in Jiangpu, received a message from his father about the battle of Chaohu Navy and asked him to reorganize his army and prepare to take a boat to Jinling.
Huo Bao couldn't sit still and stood up, very excited.
Jinling, go to Jinling!
He immediately sent orders to the army and the troops were on standby.
A moment later, Huo Bao and Qiu Wei came in a hurry and brought the latest news from the scout.
The Chaohu Navy Tower ship set off from the other shore and headed towards Jinling along the river.
"Uncle Bao, why did the navy move?" Huo Bao was a little worried.
Huo Bao smiled and said, "I'm going to fight Jinling Water Pass... When the news comes, we will be on the water road!"
Huo Bao's eyes lit up: "Shuilu? Then we may be the first to arrive in Jinling. Are they a pioneer?"
Huo Bao nodded and said, "If the Chaohu Navy fights smoothly, that's what it should be!"
Qiu Wei also showed excitement on his face.
The Scouts were formed for half a year, and the real war only passed through the Battle of Dingyuan.
There was no problem with them in the da Hezhou. When he attacked Shen County, he relied on Huo Bao and Shui Jin to show his power.
It's not the turn to fight Taiping Mansion.
I originally thought that the child soldiers would be the side army to cooperate with the main force of the Chuzhou Army to win the pass, but I didn't expect that the fight would not start at all.
The scouts were ready to fight, waiting for a battle.
"Great Sage, Li Yuan and the other two can't catch up..."
Huo Bao's expression was very regretful, but the provoked corners of his mouth could not hide his joy.
After Hou Xiaoming and Li Yuan completed the mission of Dasheng Pass, Huo Bao did not ask them to come back and asked them to investigate at Moling Pass.
Hou Xiaoming and Li Yuan’s two partners first made contributions to establishing military equipment for the Chuzhou Army, but now they cannot escape the investigation.
Hou Xiaoming is also warlike. If he were there, he would be invincible to fight.
Now that Hou Xiaoming is not here, Huo Bao and Qiu Wei can be ahead of the two films.
Huo Bao saw it and was secretly funny, but he didn't say anything.
There is no Hou Xiaoming on the left wing of the warriors, and Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan is a real student of the general. No matter whether he is in his own combat power or in the formation, he will not be worse than Huo Bao and Qiu Wei.
The left wing of the warrior was originally Huo Bao as the main force.
Manpower was arranged on the pier, and a lot of Chaohu Navy's ships were dispatched.
There are now 13,000 child soldiers, and 3,000 new soldiers are left directly in Hezhou for training, and there are 10,000 people in Jiangpu.
By noon, a building ship and a hundred warships had gathered in Jiangpu Wharf.
The scouts were also on standby at the dock.
The Jiangpu County Magistrate is here personally.
Huo Bao looked at the sky and felt a little anxious.
Dasheng Pass is seventy miles away from Jinling City. My father and the others went to Jinling by land this morning.
In order to prevent fatigue, the army would not go directly to Jinling City, but would rather be stationed ten miles or twenty miles away.
In this way, at noon tomorrow, my father will be able to reach the city of Jinling by Chuzhou.
If the Chaohu Navy could not defeat the Jinling Water Pass today, then their troops would not even be able to catch up with the Jinling, let alone be the pioneers.
Chaohu Navy was very strong and did not let Huo Bao wait.
By Shen Chu, the Clippers came back to report the news.
The Chaohu Navy has taken down the Jinling Water Pass.
Huo Bao breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to the Binjiang County Captain, and took everyone to the boat.
The soldiers and soldiers also boarded the warships one after another.
...
Jinling Water Pass is outside Jinling City, and is 50 miles away from Jiangpu.
After passing through Jiangpu, I was sailing along the river and it was just an hour.
At the Jinling Water Pass, Yu Dutong, Yu Dahai, An Yong and others were all there.
When the shadow of the tower appeared on the river, it was already early You.
"Master Huo Wu has courage, but it's too dangerous!"
Yu Dutong and his son and son-in-law muttered: "The first person to send people to Jiangpu. If it weren't for the surrender of the Dasheng Pass, then the troops would be the vanguard... Now in Jinling, the main force is on land, and to pacify the counties outside Jinling City, but he arranged for the child soldiers to go over here!"
Yu Dahai said carelessly: "This is not what it should be. This is just a son, not just practicing well!"
An Yong pondered and said, "It's not for the sake of competing for merit, so I can't say that there is another arrangement in Jinling!"
The Chuzhou Army was a man of a noble character, and Mr. Huo Wu also knew people well and was not greedy for merit.
Huo Bao received news from Huo Wu that he knew that there were Jia Yuan brothers and Shi Jin who were insiders in Jinling, and that the Scouts were the top leaders of them in the past, and there would be someone there to take over.
But Yu Dutong and others didn't know about it.
Although Huo Wu assigned the task to them only to transport people, who dares to ignore it with Huo Bao, the young master of Chuzhou Army?
Yu Dutong and others were waiting here, so of course they were not just waiting to see the little marshal Huo Bao, but were worried that the child soldiers would go to Jinling alone, intending to arrange for Yu Dahai to lead 3,000 troops to escort the child soldiers to land.
The water gate is open.
Huo Bao stood on the deck and saw the navy generals present, and bowed his hand to the courtesy.
Yu Dutong and others bowed their favor.
The ship entered the pass and Huo Bao took the deck.
He was also very curious.
Jinling Water Pass is not one, but two east and west.
Now the navy has won the Xishui Pass and the Dongshui Pass.
After taking down the Xishui Pass in Jinling, shouldn’t the Chaohu Navy continue to advance eastward and take down the Dongshui Pass?
Only by capturing the Dongshui Pass of Jinling can we guard the waterways and prevent the nearby Huainan Road defenders or Yangzhou Navy from dispatching.
Although that possibility is very small, Jinling is not an ordinary prefecture, so it is better to prepare carefully.
"Master Xiao Bao, my eldest son didn't work hard during the battle of Caishiji. He was itchy forehand. He knew that you were going to enter the city, so he couldn't sit still!" Yu Dutong said with a smile.
It’s not easy for the old man to do it. He was afraid that Huo Bao would be young and energetic. He obviously went to guard him, but he said he was asking for a fight.
Huo Bao listened with a smile, but he was confused.
The Chaohu Navy only came out of Dasheng Pass early in the morning. If you want to ask for a fight, don’t you tell your father?
Then he saw Yu Dahai with a slightly surprised look and reacted.
These are all excuses, so I should be worried.
He went to Jinling to help Jia Zhi and others, and the number of people was the better.
Yu Dutong was kind, and Huo Bao also appreciated it. He refused to pretend to be confused and said with a little sincerity: "The two armies will arrive outside Jinling City at noon at the earliest... Now only one of us, one of us can go there first. If we have command and escort, we are very grateful!"
Yu Dutong smiled and said, "Since it's Mr. Xiaobao's permission, let him bring three thousand men to accompany him and be a pioneer for Mr. Xiaobao!"
Huo Bao looked at Yu Dahai, and his expression was indeed normal, with a strong sense of fighting.
Huo Bao said vaguely: "It's not too late, why don't we set out first?"
As for those who are not pioneers, let them go first.
Everyone is waiting for war to be jealous, how can they give up on others?
The three thousand Chaohu soldiers were all on standby.
There are one thousand ships on the building, and there are more than thirty warships.
Jinling City is located between two water passes in Jinling. It is not adjacent to the Yangtze River, but on the banks of the Qinhuai River, a tributary of the Yangtze River.
The Qinhuai River does not flow from west to east, but from east to west.
However, the water flow is smooth, and even if it goes up against the current, it is not difficult.
It takes about ten miles of water to reach half an hour.
By the time I saw the Jinling City Gate, it was already dusk.
This Xicheng Gate with a sluice is under Shi Jin's rule.
He had received news before that he knew that the Chuzhou army would divide troops to help, but when he saw two tall tower ships on the river and the dense warships behind him, he also felt his scalp numb.
How many people have come here?
