This place can serve as a logistics base for entering the Jinhu waterway eastward, and can also block Du's army from entering Hongze Lake.
To prevent the Huai army from fighting hard on the front line, only to have their retreat route cut off by others.
It has to be said that after Guan Yu was stabbed in the back in the Origin World, most of the princes and forces learned their lesson. Even allies who formed an alliance would not expose their weaknesses easily.
Bu Zhao, as a minister of Soochow in the history of the original world, was naturally more concerned about this point and specifically chose Laozi Mountain as his camp.
"The final general will definitely bring back King Huai's words!"
Wang Xiongdan's expression changed slightly and he said quickly.
As a general of the Du Army, he naturally knew the danger and key of Laozi Mountain. However, Du Jun's previous expansion direction was mainly south and west, and did not develop this important area deep into Hongze Lake.
Du Fuwei did not have the background of the Huai Army, so he could not expand in other directions while also building large-scale construction in Laozi Mountain.
Another half day passed.
The endless lake began to shrink, and a "peninsula" appeared in the distance extending to the lake. A rolling mountain peak sat on the peninsula.
"With this place in hand, even if Du Fuwei gets out of his mind and wants to become a monster, he can't stab him in the back!"
Wang Jing came to the deck and looked towards the mountain peaks and the lakeshore in front of him.
He glanced around and began to focus on the mountain.
The mountains in the distance are steep and steep, with clear springs flowing, and trees all over the mountains, adding a lot of mist-shrouded fairy air to the faint water vapor.
This boundary is called Laozi Mountain in the source world.
In the Chinese continent, although this place is no longer a Taoist tourist attraction, it is still full of aura and quite impressive.
When approaching Laozi Mountain.
Wang Jing could feel the subtle vitality in the void of heaven and earth, which seemed to have improved somewhat.
Maybe this place, like Fengshan, has spirit stone veins.
But whether there are any spiritual stone veins can be discussed later.
The most important thing now is to set up camp near Laozi Mountain, recruit craftsmen and civilians according to the plan, and build a city directly on the shore.
On the mainland of China, which has expanded ten times.
Hongze Lake has changed from an inland lake to become comparable to the sea, and the importance of Laozi Mountain's geographical location has also skyrocketed. Even if the Huai Army captured Fugongyou and turned the entire Hongze Lake into an inland lake.
This will also become a node for business and travel ships to meet.
Building a city now will have great benefits in the future.
The water ripples.
Wang Jing's boat docked on the shore, and then a large number of craftsmen and civilians began to disembark, first building the army's camps and water forts, and then looking for a place to build a city nearby.
While the fleet docked.
There were nearly a hundred warships that did not stop. After taking a turn, they headed towards the spacious river on the east side of Laozi Mountain.
Wang Jing led 50,000 soldiers and horses, 20,000 of whom served as personal guards.
Another 30,000 troops, led by Zhang Lin, rushed directly to Jinhu.
With the elite level of the Huai army, the strength of 30,000 soldiers was enough to crush the entire army of Fu Gongyou.
The river breeze is strong and the wind is roaring.
Zhang Lin stood on the deck, looking at Laozi Mountain gradually disappearing, and couldn't help laughing.
"Zhang Guiba, just stay with the king. I have made a great contribution by attacking Fu Gongyou in the vanguard. If I give you another ten years, you will not be able to catch up with me in terms of meritorious service in the army!"
"General Huben is right. A man is a great man. His achievements and wealth can only be obtained on horseback. How can he hide his strength from the eyes of the king..."
Mu Chun, who was standing not far away, followed his wishes and said.
Zhang Lin glanced at Mu Chun and smiled. He knew what Mu Chun meant.
This is because he wants to be closer to himself in the military.
Speaking of which, the two brothers Mu Hong and Mu Chun had high qualifications in the army, but as the Huai army grew, the original Liangshan line was gradually overtaken by other civil and military forces.
Gu Qiang, who was originally regarded as the leader of the Liangshan clan, Zhu Wu, basically switched from martial arts to civil service. His troop formations and military strategies were all surpassed by Bu Stallion, and his status in the army naturally dropped significantly.
Mu Hong, who served as a cavalry general, had no great ambitions and was content with becoming a general. As for Wu Yong, he took refuge with Qiao Xuan, who belonged to the princess's line.
Mu Chun and Chen Da, the generals who wanted to advance, were not as strong as others, and their military skills were not good enough. If they wanted to advance, they could not rely solely on their qualifications.
Before, they had even led troops to suppress bandits in Shuyang, Siyang and other places, almost retreating to the second line.
Mu Chun was unwilling to be surpassed by other generals.
After seeing that Zhang Lin had made great achievements many times and was now named General Huben and became the top general in the Huai Army, he deliberately wanted to get closer to Zhang Lin.
In the military, cliques are normal.
Because of the cruelty of the battlefield, you save me and I save you. It is easy to form a life-and-death friendship. After the friendship is established, it will naturally become a small group.
The same is true for the generals in the army. There are many mountains, big and small.
In this regard, Wang Jing would turn a blind eye as long as it did not affect the Huai army's combat effectiveness.
Even if he becomes the supreme emperor, he cannot prevent this situation.
"Mu Youyi's words are very much what I like. After listening to your words, do you want to make a contribution? Okay! I will give you this opportunity!"
Zhang Lin laughed.
"There is news from the Military Intelligence Department that Fu Gongyou has set up a military town at the entrance of Jinhu Waterway. Our army wants to conquer Jinhu and wipe out the two military cities in Huyang and Hengyang. I will give you 10,000 troops. Can you? Take these two military cities first for the army?"
The Huyang and Hengyang he mentioned were not the places corresponding to these two names in the source world.
Yin is north and yang is south.
The so-called Huyang and Hengyang are just the names for the places south of Hongze Lake.
Mu Chun was immediately overjoyed and quickly turned over and bowed down, saying: "General, I would like to issue a military order, and I will conquer Huyang and Hengyang for the army!"
All generals and commanders above the guerrilla generals have read the information about Fu Gongyou's army.
Fugongyou did not have any famous generals under his command.
Zuo Youxian, the only one who is somewhat famous, is not known for his martial arts.
Unless... Zuo Youxian's template becomes a magic master in some martial arts world, so that he can be compared with people like Mu Chun.
In Mu Chun's eyes.
Attacking these two military towns is simply a bargain. There is no difficulty.
A battle like this, where you gain merit, has always been a benefit that only the commander's trusted advisors can get.
Mu Chun did not expect that just after expressing his stance in front of Zhang Lin, he would get a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Looking at Mu Chun's expression of excitement and gratitude.
Zhang Lin was also very satisfied.
Mu Chun wanted to get closer to him, and he also wanted to win over Mu Chun, a veteran in the military.
Both sides get what they need.
immediately.
Mu Chun led a group of warships to speed up and rush towards the Huyang Military Town by the river.
Huyang Military Town is located on the south bank of Jinhu Waterway.
It is the key point for Hongze Lake to enter Jinhu waterway.
According to the news, there are approximately 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed here.
boom!
After the warship approached the military town, ignoring the exclamations and sharp sirens coming from the military town, the catapults on the warship began to show off their power.
There was a roar.
The stone bullets wrapped in kerosene were like meteors, crashing into the military town, causing the soldiers on the gate and wall of the village to cry for their fathers and mothers, black smoke billowing, and screams rising into the sky.
