The team headed west.
Although the post road in western Baekje has been fully repaired by the Starfall Army, it is inevitable that there are still some ditches and bumps.
In addition, there was a pregnant woman in the team, so the speed was not very fast.
Tap tap tap.
The sound of rapid horse hooves sounded.
A messenger rushed back like a soldier, interrupting Chen Xiuzhu's chatter.
"General, a logistics team has arrived thirty miles ahead. Xiao Qianchang sent the younger one back to ask the general what to do."
Xiao Qianchang?
Chen Xiuzhu couldn't help but frown.
It must be Xiao Gang.
Should you come back and ask Wei Junqian if you encounter trivial matters such as a friendly convoy?
What did he do for a living during the years he joined the army?
"Thirty miles ahead," Wei Jun next to him looked around a few times and muttered, "It's almost time to reach the Ruiyu River."
Ruiyu River runs east-west.
The East-West Post Road is built along the river. The other side is full of cliffs and the road is very narrow.
If the two teams met here, it would probably be difficult to pass.
"Here's the order. We'll drive another ten miles and rest on the side of the road. We'll wait until we pass the logistics convoy."
"Yes!" The messenger puffed up his chest, turned around and ran away.
Snap, snap, snap.
Chen Xiuzhu coughed and clapped loudly.
"Baekje doesn't say it's big or small. If I don't look at the map, I won't know whether it's mountains or water ahead."
"You can see the big from the small. No wonder the Xingluo Legion is invincible. It turns out that it is because there is a general like General Wei who has a big heart and loves his soldiers like his own son."
"Your Highness is joking." Wei Junqian shook his head, "Remember to stay on the road just because I will be looking at the map all day long."
"As for loving a soldier like a son." He laughed.
"It will snow heavily in Baekje soon. Once the snow closes the mountains, it will be difficult to transport various materials needed by the soldiers, such as anti-sea crossbows, military rations, fodder, clothing, medicine, rigging, etc."
"So if you encounter them on the road, try to let them pass first."
"I hope your highness has enough, and don't blame me for delaying your return to the country."
"Where is it?" Chen Xiuzhu waved his hand quickly, "As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass go first. I have also been on the march and fought in the war, so I naturally understand the importance of logistics."
"It's just a matter of waiting on the roadside for a while. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all."
Ten miles is not too far.
It didn't take long for Wei Junqian and his party to arrive.
Several people looked up and saw a long team coming towards them.
The leader was also flying the familiar Starfall flag.
"Who is leading this team?" Wei Junqian asked.
"Back to the general, it's Tao Fengming and Tao Qianchang from the Houxue Third Battalion."
laugh!
Chen Xiuzhu next to him was surprised.
"Xingluo Blood Camp? Then aren't they from Xingluo County?"
The distance was not close, spanning almost half of the Yunchui Empire.
"Yes." Wei Junqian looked at the bright military flag and nodded, "They are indeed from Xingluo County."
"The past two years have been good in the country, and crops have been harvested everywhere, so the treasury has a considerable surplus. However, Dingxi County has been fighting, and the four western counties where civil unrest has occurred have not yet recovered, and they need support from the court. Less food."
"Let's transfer some food and grass from Xingluo's hometown first, so that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs will not be unable to dispatch them."
Can't dispatch in time?
Chen Xiuzhu had been in the army for a long time, so he knew the situation well, and his face couldn't help but darken.
"General Wei," he quickly changed the subject, "I heard that Dingxi has defeated the Xiliang people and completely driven them back to the grassland?"
Um.
Wei Junqian nodded, "The Xiliang people have left, but they left us a shabby Dingxi County."
"It's a pity that there are so many soldiers who fought bravely and served the country loyally. Many of them should not have died."
Chen Xiuzhu's heart moved.
He gritted his teeth.
"Please rest assured, General Wei. I have also been on the battlefield and have shared life and death with countless brothers. I hate those who are greedy for life and afraid of death the most."
"After returning home, I made a remonstrance to my father, demanding that those generals who neglected their duties and failed to perform their duties should be severely punished. I would not hesitate to offend my father."
…
The two were chatting.
A tall, middle-aged Qian Chang rode a horse and ran in front of Wei Junqian.
"Tao Fengming, the 3,000-year-old commander of Hou Xue Camp, has met the general and His Highness the King of Qi."
Ha ha.
Wei Junqian smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, "Thank you Tao Qianchang and all the brothers for your hard work. Long time no see. Did you go well on the road?"
"Thank you, General, for your concern. Most of the items transported this time are grain and winter clothing, and they are not heavy. Apart from a few broken cars along the way, everything else went smoothly."
Wei Junqian frowned, "You didn't bring the anti-sea-breaking crossbow?"
Now that Chen Xiuzhu has been found, the East China Sea Barrier will return to Yunchui from the sea after attacking the remaining food island of the Japanese pirates.
At that time, the task of defending Jinlongtan will return to the shoulders of Xiao Zheng and the Xingluo Legion.
The anti-sea-breaking crossbow is so powerful that even warrior-level warriors have to stay away from it.
Therefore, it is necessary to reserve as many weapons as possible.
It's just that such a powerful crossbow requires a lot of iron, which Baekje can't make at all. It can only be built in Yunchui and then shipped over.
"Go back to the general," Tao Fengming lowered his head in shame.
"The north-south post road in Misty County has just been built, and some of the iron ore from Qingshi County has just been shipped out. There is not enough to distribute it to various places. General Pipeline Pingguan has worked hard to grab it, but not many have been snatched."
He murmured: "Only ten sea-proof crossbow arrows were shipped this time."
"So few!" Chen Xiuzhu couldn't help but take a breath.
The anti-sea-breaking crossbows were extremely powerful, but at least five of them would have to hit the keel to be able to sink a Warrior-class vessel.
If you include those that missed the shot or missed the keel, the number required will be even greater.
Based on this calculation, the ten arrows shipped this time can only be used to deal with a warrior-class ship.
Think again about the number of Japanese pirate generals...
Chen Xiuzhu couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
"General Wei, should we immediately send an order back to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to make as many crossbow bolts as possible and transport them to Baekje as soon as possible?"
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.
All three Japanese food islands were destroyed, and Kudo Naoto would most likely go crazy.
If he sends large-scale warships to besiege Jinlongtan like last time. If the defenders on the shore do not have enough sea-defense crossbows, they can only rely on human lives to block it.
I don’t know how many people will die by then.
These are all veterans of Yun Chui, top-notch elite soldiers and generals.
"No rush!" Wei Junqian smiled, raised his head and glanced at the sky.
"It will be snowing heavily in Baekje soon, and the intensity of the Japanese pirates' attack will also weaken. With Xingluo and General Xiao's troops, it will definitely not be a problem to defend Jinlongtan."
"The problem now is that the eastern coast probably needs these sea-defense crossbows more than we do. They should be given priority to Mo Canghai and the others."
Speaking of this, Wei Junqian turned his head.
"Tao Qianchang, when you come from China, have you ever heard that His Majesty has decided which troops to deploy to defend the east?"
"This..." Tao Fengming had a strange look on his face, "Back to the general, the general went all the way north and found no signs of mobilization of the legions from various places."
"Father Emperor Lake..." Chen Xiuzhu almost cursed.
After he turned around, he quickly stopped talking.
"General Wei, since the Xingluo Army was established, its mission has been to protect our country. Now a large number of Japanese pirates have appeared on the richest coast in Yunchui. The situation is urgent. Why don't you order the Japanese pirates immediately before it snows? Xingluo should retreat to the mainland to help defend the coast."
As for Baekje, what does Yun Chui have to do with whether he can hold it or not?
Wei Junqian was noncommittal.
"Your Highness is right. It's just that I, Wei Junqian, do not have the final say in the Legion. All actions of the Starfall Legion have a prerequisite, and that is to comply with His Majesty's will."
"His Majesty sent an imperial edict this spring, strictly ordering us and all the soldiers of Xingluo to station in Baekje, and we must spare no effort to drive away Japanese pirates for Baekje."
"I will not dare to disobey you."
"Speaking of which, I am only preparing to send His Highness back to the country this time. I am only preparing to send it to Beihai Customs."
