After the southern assault group reached the north of Shangjing, they quickly dug trenches, intercepted all land passages in and out of Shangjing, and completed the initial siege of Shangjing.

Zhong Fulin stood in front of the artillery mirror, looked at the Shangjing City opposite, and while watching, he exclaimed, "I heard that most of the defense facilities in the Shangjing City have been built by An Buyang in the past few years?" ”

"Yes, Commander, according to intelligence, when Amin was alive, An Bulu served as the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and presided over the construction of dozens of large and small projects in the country, and this Shangjing City is the project with the largest cost and the most casualties in his hands."

"Woohoo ······" Zhong Fulin smacked his lips.

Lakshin on the side also walked down from the ammunition box where the artillery mirror was placed, and sighed, "It is said that Na An is not a bad character, loves hypocrisy, and is good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, but from the perspective of this engineering level, this person should not be underestimated." ”

"It's useless to underestimate it, An Buyang has been killed in Tower Hill, and at this time, I'm afraid even the tombstone has been carved."

"It's a pity, this is a talent."

"Okay, don't sigh, have the defensive positions of the battalions been divided?"

"Don't worry, it's already been done, and I sent my adjutant down to check it out."

"You're going to make a call, and you're actually pushing your duties to the adjutant."

"Old Zhong, what you said is not right, what is the purpose of the king sending adjutant to us senior officers? It's not that I want to be able to exercise those young people and broaden their horizons, I'm also strictly implementing your orders. ”

Zhong Fulin was helpless about Lakshen's lazy appearance, Lakshen, who was born in the Mongolian steppe, was never lazy except for the fact that he was never lazy when he was fighting with real knives and guns, and in other things, he could drag it out, which made people speechless.

Suddenly, Zhong Fulin seemed to remember something, looked left and right and asked, "How is your dog meat?" Why didn't you bring it out this time? ”

"My dog meat, I got along with a medium-sized military dog, and I just became a father last month, so I didn't bring it out from this battle."

"Oh? Actually got along with a medium-sized military dog? Has your dog meat grown up? ”

"Alas," said Rakshin with a sigh, "it's still a little one, and it's not big at all." ”

Zhong Fulin asked curiously, "What kind of breed is your dog, it's been six years, right?" Why haven't you grown yet? Isn't it sick? ”

"I also asked Junshang, and Junshang said that he just got it as a guard dog at the beginning, and he didn't know what kind of dog meat it was."

"It's strange enough, they're all over six years old, and they're still a little bit the size of a palm, it's really unique enough."

"Forget it, don't talk about dog meat, anyway, no matter if that little guy can grow up or not, in this life, I have raised it, since I took over the little guy from Jun Shang by the Yalu River, I know that it belongs to me."

"Okay, then change the subject, I'm going to send a battalion up to try the foundation of the Houjin Army, what do you think?"

"A battalion? What can this person do? On the other side is a huge fortified city, with hundreds of thousands of people in it. ”

"I didn't expect a battalion to achieve any results, just to say hello to the Houjin army, this time, it's not us who take the lead."

Lakshen understood the meaning of Zhong Fulin's words, although he had completed the blockade of Shangjing.

However, the army is an army after all, and although there are infantry guns, small-caliber direct-fire artillery is powerless in the face of ships that are rapidly flowing down the Han River.

After all, the artillery mount of infantry artillery was not originally developed to shoot fast-moving targets, and the most important thing about this new type of artillery is the stability of operation.

Fortunately, under Chen Xin's intervention, the United Kingdom of China attaches great importance to the construction of the Blue Sea Navy and the Green Water Coast Guard, and its maritime strength is very strong.

If it is said that the strength of the army of the United Kingdom of China, except for the huge flaw of scarcity, is already the best in the world, then the strength of the kingdom's navy can be said to be the third form of Dugu seeking defeat.

With the all-steel test ship as the pioneer, new technologies and inventions have been continuously applied to the navy.

It can be said that every month, the strength of the Navy is growing rapidly.

With such a 3,000-ton all-steel test ship alone, it can already sweep all the maritime forces in the Asian waters.

Not to mention, according to the shortcomings of the all-steel test ship, the second all-steel battleship has been put into construction.

When he accumulates a few more steel warships, Chen Xin is confident that he will join the game of the Netherlands, Spain, England and other countries competing for world sea power, and act as a master player.

Therefore, with the current maritime strength of the Huaxia Kingdom, the Han River, which is based on the barrier of Shangjing, is not a natural danger at all, but can allow the United Kingdom of China to launch an attack on the Shangjing area from the water surface of the Han River and exert stronger combat effectiveness.

Just as the Southern Assault Group was blocking the land passage, one of the Navy's Sea Shark-class warships, as well as 12 Coast Guard fast crab warships, also formed a temporary Han River squadron.

After completing the assembly at Ganghwa Island, the Han River detachment quickly bypassed the Han River estuary and entered the wide lower reaches of the Han River.

The Sea Shark-class battleship that participated in the attack and defense of Shangjing this time was the second of the three Sea Shark-class ships that had fought fierce battles with the Dutch at sea.

The second ship was awarded the honorary title of "Kokang" for its performance in that naval battle.

According to the regulations of the Navy, the honorary title of such a meritorious battleship, even if it is sunk or decommissioned, cannot be canceled, and a new generation of ships must inherit this name.

Now, of course, this Kokang is not inherited, she is the product of the restoration and improvement of the second ship.

In order to ensure combat effectiveness, the 12 Sou Kuai-Crab-class warships that the Coast Guard participated in this battle also used the latest fast crab - the 12-type warship, that is, the 12th improved model of the fast crab.

A 400-ton Sea Shark-class Kokang warship, plus 12 200-ton fast crab warships, can already go sideways in the entire North Korean waters, not to mention such a small "canal" as the Han River.

The captain of the Kokang stood on the bridge and looked out at the birds in the sky in the distance.

A non-commissioned officer came over and saluted, "Commander, our army has entered the Han River valley, please instruct us on what to do next." ”

"Report to the General Headquarters that our army has entered the Han River basin and send a war briefing to the Southern Assault Group, and ask it to provide maps and intelligence in Shangjing, and then act in accordance with the original plan No. 1 and launch an interception operation."

"Yes." The non-commissioned officer saluted and left, and in less than a minute, several falcons soared into the sky and flew into the distance.

In the watchtower of the battleship, the herald waved the flag and issued orders to the surrounding ships.

The 13 ships of the Han River Temporary Detachment quickly formed a formation, sailed mightily on the river, and began to intercept all ships along the way according to the orders received, and asked the Marines to detain the crew members of those ships.

If there is anyone who dares to resist, sink it on the spot and show no mercy.

This was not a robbery, but a necessary means during the war, to prevent the Later Jin army from receiving supplies from river boats.

After all, there are nearly 200,000 people in Shangjing, so many people, the daily consumption is astronomical, and intercepting the supply line in Shangjing is a necessary means in war.

Although Chen Xin is very confident that his side can quickly capture Shangjing, in terms of military affairs, it has always been necessary to make various plans, and in order to intercept the ships in Houjin is a necessary means just in case.

Once the attack does not go well and fails to take Shangjing quickly, then the siege is the next effective means.

If that happens, it will help reduce the siege time if you can cut off the supplies in the capital in advance.

After all, if there are no supplies, then what moths can be made in a lonely city?
