The Chinese army has set up defensive positions on the coastline of Xizhou. Whenever it sees ironclad ships from various countries in Xizhou, it will launch a counterattack.
Zhang Zhidong and Ding Ruchang commanded the South Indian Ocean Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet to combine more than 300 Chinese frigates and two large ironclad ships, and equipped 100 "Jiaolong" ships on the battlefield on the eastern front.
The two fleets approached the Mediterranean Sea in a mighty manner, and then sailed around the coastline to the east side of the Great American Strait.
The remaining hundreds of "Jiaolong" ships were responsible for secretly transporting troops across the Great Strait of the United States on the west side.
In the headquarters of the Mizi Kingdom, seeing the posture of the Chinese fleet, it seemed that it was about to attack, and the kings of all the countries in the Western Continent were panic-stricken.
"China's two fleets will soon arrive at the Grand Strait of the United States. They are going to fight us. Their displacement is only 200,000 tons. How can they compare with our displacement of millions of tons."
The king of Mizi Country was so angry that he almost picked up the drinking cup and threw it to the ground.
"We are not afraid even if they have submarines. If there is a real fight, their submarines will not be able to escape if the artillery fire net is so dense. We are still very safe here."
The king of Gaul was still so confident that he seemed to have forgotten how he was thinking of surrendering at that time.
"China never follows routines when sending troops. We must be very cautious, but I found that we can seize one thing, that is, keep an eye on Zuo Zongtang. Wherever he is, that must be the direction of the main attack. These days, I have sent people Keep an eye on him secretly, we will definitely be able to find out what China is doing this time."
Ali, the commander-in-chief of various countries in the Western Continent, analyzed.
"General Ali still has an idea. Don't worry, we are safe here."
The king of Mizi Country said.
However, the time has come. On the surface, everyone present is smiling and nodding, but in fact, they are all planning to pack up and run away.
Inside the Chinese Zuo Zongtang military camp.
Zuo Zongtang also recently discovered that someone seems to be observing him secretly. He always feels that every time he goes out, there is a pair of eyes staring at him.
"Lieutenant General, I will give you a mission to find a soldier who looks like me in body shape and appearance."
The deputy general did not delay and immediately found a soldier who looked most like Zuo Zongtang from among the millions of troops.
Zuo Zongtang began to ask the soldier not to leave the headquarters and learn every one of his habits at the headquarters every day, including walking postures, mantras, diet, etc.
The deputy general also couldn't understand why Zuo Zongtang did this.
Half a month later, the two fleets have been assembled, and the "Jiaolong" on the western front is also ready.
Okay, I will try my best to help you write the novel in more detail. Here are some extensions to some of the scenarios you provided:
In the Chinese military camp, Zuo Zongtang sat in a tent and carefully studied the topographic map of the Great Strait of the United States. The deputy general stood aside, waiting for Zuo Zongtang's order.
"Lieutenant General, how is the soldier you found doing?"
Zuo Zongtang raised his head and asked.
"Back to General, that soldier has completely mastered your habits. Whether it's your walking posture, mantra or diet, he can imitate it perfectly."
The lieutenant replied.
"Very good, we will start crossing the sea in three days. During this period, you must ensure that the soldier does not leave the headquarters and at the same time protect his safety. Once the sea crossing operation begins, let him replace me on the Eastern Front. Confuse the enemy."
Zuo Zongtang said seriously.
At the same time, in the headquarters of various countries in Xizhou, observers reported the location of Zuo Zongtang to Ali. Ali nodded after hearing this, but he also had some doubts in his heart. He always felt that things were not that simple, but there were currently no other clues. If China attacked so hard, the probability of winning was actually low.
In the Chinese military camp, Zuo Zongtang's "stand-in" began to appear frequently in everyone's sight, while the real Zuo Zongtang changed his name to "Old Li" and quietly went to the Western Front. There, he personally directed the Chinese army to make final preparations for transporting troops.
In the headquarters of various countries in Xizhou, Ali began to deploy naval fleets to prepare for the attack of the Chinese fleet. He knows that the Chinese army has a strong combat capability, so he must ensure that every link is foolproof.
As time passed, the atmosphere between the two armies became increasingly tense. In the military camps of various countries in Xizhou, many soldiers began to panic, but Ali always remained calm. He believed in his own judgment and at the same time believed that "Zuo Zongtang" of the Chinese Army was still commanding on the Eastern Front.
Blue Star In January 1872, on the vast Strait of America, China's South Indian Ocean Fleet and Atlantic Fleet combined more than 300 frigates and two large ironclads to sail, and their goal was to cross the Strait of America.
Each ironclad ship of the Chinese fleet is equipped with the most advanced Chinese field guns, which will provide powerful fire support to the fleet.
At the same time, the fleets of various countries in the Western Continent have also been deployed in the Great Strait of the United States. Although their warships were numerous in number, their technical level was relatively backward and they mainly relied on traditional Armstrong guns for attack.
As the distance between the two sides gradually shortened, the artillery fire network became more and more dense. China's missiles accurately hit many warships in the fleets of various countries in the Western Continent, causing violent explosions. Although the fleets of various countries in Western Continent tried to fight back.
The battle between the generals became more and more fierce, which also convinced Ali that the eastern front was China's main attack direction, and China wanted to transport troops here.
Until the evening, the two armies could not tell the winner. Although China's weapons are advanced, the resistance of the countries in Western Continent is also very tenacious. They used limited artillery and tactics to fight back, causing a lot of trouble to the Chinese army. The Chinese army also faced the intensive artillery fire and numerical superiority of the fleets of various countries in the Western Continent, and could not easily break through the opponent's defense line.
The Chinese Army has an advantage in weapons and equipment, but the armies of various countries in Xizhou have caused a lot of trouble to the Chinese Army by relying on their numerical superiority in fleets.
Because the battle was too fierce and heavy, both sides fell into a state of exhaustion. Both sides decided to temporarily cease the war and redeploy their strategies and tactics.
Taking advantage of the night, Zuo Zongtang led three legions to land in the forest in the southwest of Mizi Country. Fortunately, the climate here is not that cold. If it were in the territory of Mao Xiong Country, this strategy would definitely be ineffective.
The fleets of both sides mainly faced off on the eastern front, and small-scale frictions continued to occur. A week later, soldiers from three legions led by Zuo Zongtang quietly completed the landing.
Ali was still staring at "Zuo Zongtang" on the eastern front and completely ignored the situation on the western front.
