Chapter 320 Xiao Zheng asks for help
Ren Ning stayed until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. After learning that Xiao Gang's mother and child were safe, he quietly left Xingji City alone.

Braving the wind and snow, all the way to the east.He didn't arrive in Jiuyuan County until Yuanxiao Festival.

"My boy, you're finally back." The striker general Chu Jinding heaved a sigh of relief.

Ren Ning was surprised: "General Chu, what happened to the legion?"

According to the plan, the Qianfeng Battalion will not continue north until Wei Junqian leads the other soldiers to Jiuyuan County.So as not to be out of touch with the supply of food and grass.

Calculating the distance, they will take at least two days to arrive.

"It's none of General Wei's business."

Chu Jinding walked to the map, raised his hand and tapped the map of the peninsula heavily.

"Just received the latest news. The east coast of Baekje was lost, and the entire defenders were wiped out. At least [-] Japanese pirates have landed in Baekje. Moreover, there are ships from the depths of the sea that are constantly sending soldiers here."

Ren Ning raised his eyebrows, "The Japanese pirates are ruining their boats. They will die and survive."

"That's right." Chu Jin nodded.

His hand continued to swipe across the map.

"The Japanese pirates who landed are now divided into two groups. One goes straight to the capital of Baekje, and the other goes to the south bank where Zhongyong Bo Xiaozheng is. It seems that they want to attack both land and sea and trap them to death on Jinlongtan."

While talking, Chu Jinding frowned deeply.

Apart from Xiao Zheng and Thirty Thousand who supported the Baekje Pingwa Army in Jinlongtan, Qi Wang Chen Xiuzhu was also there.

If the majestic Prince Yunchui was caught or even killed by the little oriental barbarians, it would be a shame to throw him home.

Fortunately, the heavens are beautiful.

Baekje is freezing cold now, and the snow is much heavier than Yunchui's side.

Everyone couldn't move an inch.

Chu Jinding pondered, "With the speed of the Japanese pirates, it is estimated that they will not be able to reach the Golden Dragon Beach where Xiao Gang is stationed within half a month."

Ren Ning carefully looked at the location of Jinlong Beach, and suddenly said: "This place must not be lost."

Chu Jinding agreed, "You can't lose it."

Although Jinlong Beach is called a beach, it is actually a complete port terminal.And its location is extremely close to the capital city of Baekje.As long as you go ashore from here, you are almost at the foot of the capital of Baekje.

If Jinlong Beach falls, Yun Chui's support will either go around a large circle and go north by land, or fight the Japanese pirates at sea first.

Once the Japanese pirates occupy this place, they can continuously send soldiers and logistics materials to the capital of Baekje through the sea, and then attack and occupy the entire Baekje from all directions.

"What about our Yunchui's response?" Ren Ning asked.

"Response?" Chu Jinding's eyes fell on Beiguan, and he smiled, not knowing whether it was mockery or sentimentality.

"Last August, when the Yanhui Corps received a defense order, Tian Hongyan immediately ran away with his troops. He didn't even look at the mess of Baekje."

"The guard of Beihai Customs is even more impenetrable. Huang Shitao just said a word. Unless there is an order from the Ministry of War or His Majesty's imperial decree, his subordinates will never leave Beihai Customs."

As for the part of the Central Army Corps that went north with Xiao Zheng to support Beiguan, two years ago, seeing that Beixiong had no intention of going south at all, they withdrew to the camp in the south of Xingji City.

Ren Ning wiped his sweat, "So now no one is going to rescue Uncle Zhongyong's Pingwa army?"

"That's true." Chu Jinding slid his hand down along the coastline of Yunchui, and landed on Pinghai County in the middle, "The Pingwa Army led by Uncle Xiao is actually a part of the East China Sea garrison."

"My hometown in Pinghai County received his distress message and is preparing to leave."

Ren Ning was not surprised either.

The duty of the East China Sea garrison or navy is to defend against bandits and Japanese pirates at sea.

Especially after Lieutenant Pinghai led his troops to pacify Laigu County the year before last, the eastern coast was plundered by Japanese pirates again.

The commander-in-chief of the navy at that time was almost scolded by Emperor Changxing by pointing at his nose.

Therefore, Xiao Zheng's rescue letter was received, and he immediately led the troops on board and went out to sea.

just,

Ren Ning looked at the distance between Pinghai County and Baekje, "This...the distance cannot quench the thirst."

Chu Jin nodded, "It's really too far away. That's why I'm anxiously waiting for you to come back."

"General Wei has sent a message, let us rush to Beihaiguan as soon as possible, and then find a way to rescue Xiao Zheng's Pingwa army."

Or Qi Wang Chen Xiuzhu.

Ren Ning's eyes fell on the ocean to the east, he moved his mouth and didn't make a sound.

If you have a boat, the fastest way is to go directly east to the sea, and then cross the North Sea to Baekje.

It's just that even if there are boats in the east of Jiuyuan County, they are only fishing boats. The quantity is not large and the quality is not necessarily good.

Now there are strong winds and heavy snow everywhere, if the fishing boat is blown apart at sea, there is nowhere to escape.

"General, are there warships in Beiguan?" Ren Ning asked.

Chu Jin must understand what he meant, "Yes. But the performance is far inferior to that of the Navy of Pinghai County."

"This is natural." Ren Ning was not surprised.

The navy is a professional warship with all kinds of powerful naval warfare weapons built on it.

The warships in Beihai Customs are not so much warships as they are large cargo ships.It is mainly used to deliver logistics grain and grass to the North Customs.Although there are also giant crossbows on board, there are not many of them.

Ren Ning nodded, "As long as you have it, that's fine."

On the Hushou River in the south, each battalion of the Starfall Corps took turns to learn water warfare systematically from the defenders of Zhennan Pass.Although they can't be said to be good at sea battles now, at least they are not afraid of sea battles.

The next day, the heavy snow remained.

Chu Jin made an order.Under the leadership of Ren Ning, the Vanguard Battalion headed north through the thick snow.

Not long after leaving the Jiuyuan Racecourse, we entered the hills, and the road became more difficult as we went north.

The winding post road has long been covered by heavy snow, and the person who opened the way at the front has no idea what he will step on next.

Potentially a pit, a ditch, or a slope.

If you are not careful, you may turn your back on your back.

Someone persuaded Ren Ning, "General, you stay behind for now. Let's open the way ahead first. You and your brothers will keep up."

Ren Ning shook his head, "No, this is too slow. We can't afford it."

The other four people were recruited, and the five horses were moving forward with him as the center.The footprint left is exactly a post road.

In the beginning, people on both sides were a little shocked.

They were not afraid of falling themselves, but the generals around them.

Later, I found out that I just need to follow the wind.When the black horse turns to the left, the other four people turn to the left collectively, and when the chasing wind turns to the right, they turn to the right again collectively. It seems that they have not encountered too many ups and downs.

Sometimes Ren Ning even reminded the two soldiers next to him to lean in a little, otherwise he would go out of the post road.

Some people were skeptical, but when Ren Ning reminded him again, he jumped off his horse and scraped through the snow to check.

Sure enough, there was a ditch made by running water in front of it.

Now everyone was in admiration, and they couldn't see anything unusual from their eyes, so they hurriedly asked Ren Ning how to identify the surface.

Ren Ning was not stingy, he taught as he walked, and the speed of the whole team was not slow.
