The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 426 Royal Missile, Great Han Warrior

It was early winter, and the transport boats on the big river stretched across the city, like a dragon coming out of the water.The soldiers were busy carrying supplies from the ships, and every large ship was loaded with weapons and ammunition.The grain and grass had been transferred half a month ago, and the battle in Suiyang was imminent.

"Speed ​​up, store weapons and ammunition in the ammunition depot. The ship must be unloaded before evening!" Guo Huai urged.

He was appointed by Liu Hao as the chief transshipment envoy to supervise all the logistics work for the Xuzhou war.There will be big ships coming at night, although there are only three ships, Liu Hao will personally direct the unloading of the ships.

It can be seen how important the supplies on board are. Today, no less than a hundred rebel spies have been beheaded by the defenders in the city.A rare curfew was even imposed in the city. This abnormal behavior indicated that tonight would definitely not be peaceful.

The burden on his shoulders is heavy, and if there is a sneak attack by the rebels tonight, the consequences will be disastrous.Only then did he urge his soldiers to unload the ship as soon as possible to buy more time to arrange the defense work.

"My lord, His Royal Highness sent me to ask, how long will it take to unload the ship?" A soldier of the Huben Army ran over and asked.

"In another hour, the ship can be unloaded." Guo Huai speculated looking at the busy soldiers.

The soldier cupped his hands and said, "Then I will report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the humble position."

"Okay, please tell His Highness the Crown Prince that the general will complete the task on time." Guo Huai said in return.

It took less than an hour for Guo Huai's men to unload the boat, and the big boat moved along the river. They would turn around in the wide river ahead, and then go up the river to return to Luoyang.

In recent years, under the design of Zhuge Liang, the channel of the Yellow River has been cleaned of silt and strengthened.Now the river from Luoyang to Yancheng can pass large ships, greatly enhancing the transportation capacity.As a result, commodities in Guanzhong can be transported to the coast in large quantities, and grain can also be transported to Luoyang through the Yellow River waterway.

"General, His Royal Highness has arrived." Deng Tu, Guo Huai's political commissar, said to Guo Huai who was in a trance.

Guo Huai came back to his senses and walked towards Liu Hao's position.

"General Guo, is everything ready?"

"His Royal Highness, everything is ready. The soldiers have finished their meals and are waiting to unload the ship."

Liu Hao nodded, looked at the river and said, "There are only three large ships tonight, and all of them are loaded with new weapons made by the 'Chang'an Machinery Manufacturing Bureau'. You must handle them with care during the transportation. It doesn't matter if you are slow, you must ensure Safety."

"Yes, I'll give this order." Guo Huai said, cupping his hands.

Liu Hao took Guo Huai and the others and waited for a cup of tea until a big boat finally appeared in the river.The soldiers on the shore led the big ship to the shore, and the soldiers on the ship opened the side of the ship on the left side, so that the side of the ship opened as a whole.

General Pi, who escorted the supplies, handed over to Guo Huai with official documents, and the soldiers loaded the wooden boxes on the ship into the carriages parked on the shore.At ten steps and one post along the way, the soldiers have been loaded with bullets, and anyone who dares to block the transport team will be shot and killed.

"Be careful, these things are very delicate." Pilot Li Ju said loudly.

Watching the soldiers unload the boxes one by one, Liu Hao said, "Be careful, nothing will happen."

"The final arrangement has been made. The convoy will go directly to the ammunition depot in the city, and there will be no stops on the way." Guo Huai said in a low voice.

Liu Hao said with a smile: "General Guo, these are sharp weapons for attacking the city after the year. When the war starts, let the rebels taste the power of our 'Royal Missiles'!"

"'Royal Missile'? What is this?" Guo Huai heard this name for the first time.

"Liu Jie made it, a firearm that can fly a long distance. Except for the poor accuracy, its power and range are amazing." Liu Hao almost laughed when he thought of the distress letter Liu Jie wrote to him before.

Liu Jie returned to the palace, thinking that he had made a great contribution and his confinement would naturally be lifted.He and Liu Dun were wandering around the palace all day long, but one day he was caught by Liu Bian, who punished him and sent him to Huangzhuang Technical School to study.

I want Liu Hao to see that he is credited with providing new weapons for the troops, and let Liu Hao plead with Liu Bian. Liu Hao really wrote to Liu Bian to plead.

But no more letters came from Liu Hao, it seemed that Liu Bian did not intend to let Liu Jie go.

"His Royal Highness, all the boxes have been transported." A schoolboy knelt on the ground and said.

"Okay! The Feixiong Army is going to guard the arsenal. There is no order from the solitary. Anyone who dares to approach the arsenal will be killed!" Liu Hao said to the commander of the Feixiong Army, You Gao.

"Yes! The last general will lead the troops to reinforce!"

Originally, Yougao had already left 500 soldiers in the arsenal, and he thought that he would lead these 1000 people to complete the escort mission, so that he could take turns with the soldiers who stayed behind in the arsenal.Unexpectedly, Liu Hao paid so much attention to these things, all [-] members of Feixiong Army had to go to guard the arsenal.

As the Huben army who also followed Liu Hao, they had already fought against the rebels, annihilating the rebel's sneak attack troops at the junction of Suiyang and Sucheng.

The Flying Bear Army has become a guard force and has taken over the defense of Suiyang City.The Cheetah Army was sent out by Liu Hao to hunt around Suiyang, and from time to time they could fight against the rebel scouts, only their Flying Bear Army was ridiculed all day long.

Suiyang Prefect's Mansion has been requisitioned by Liu Hao and has become the headquarters of the Xuzhou battlefield.Zhang Chenghua was mature and prudent, and was arranged by Liu Hao to go to Jingzhou to be responsible for shrinking the space for the rebels to move.

Li Cunxiao garrisoned troops in Pingqu, with a total of 15 troops under his command.The army of Heishui Dufu landed in Funing, and the navy of Yizhou blocked the coastline in the south of Yangzhou, and could land on the coast of Xuzhou from the sea at any time.

"Your Highness, the rebel Tan Hong sent someone to send a letter of war." Fujun Wei Maoshi handed a letter to Liu Hao.

Liu Hao opened the letter, it was Tan Hong's personal letter, and he was going to fight Liu Hao in Qiaocheng in three days.

"Let's go to Qiaocheng to fight Tan Hong, and the rebels in Pengcheng will take Suiyang in a blink of an eye. If we don't fight, it will damage morale. Is there any good way to solve it?" Liu Hao asked.

General Yamen Wang Yuan suggested: "Your Highness, the political commissars of each army have calmed down the soldiers in advance. We will not lower morale because of avoiding the war, and now our troops are stationed in various places. If we really transfer all of them to Qiaocheng, If we are ambushed along the way, we will lose a lot of soldiers."

"General Wang is right. Our soldiers are trustworthy. If the rebels gather a large force to attack one place, we will mobilize another large force to sweep across the counties in Xuzhou. Then the troops from Jingzhou and Yangzhou will attack at the same time. It can annihilate the rebels in Xuzhou in one fell swoop." Wei Maoshi cupped his hands and said.

Liu Hao nodded and said, "Okay, let's act according to this plan. Let the soldiers continue training, and at the same time, we must clearly detect the movements of the rebels."

"Yes, the commander-in-chief is in command!"

"The last will obey!"
