The landing of the Qin army at Vladivostok was extremely successful and smooth.

The port, where only a thousand-strong team of Tatar cavalry was stationed, had already been overwhelmed by the Qin army like a raging tide before they could react. One by one, the assault boats were lowered from the transport ships, like huge schools of fish rising on the tide, and quickly rushed into the harbor; under the cover of the bows and arrows of the flying thunder guns, the marines of the naval division skillfully planned the landing dock in accordance with the pre-simulated landing operation plan. The Thousand Men were scattered around the harbor and were completely caught off guard. By the time they reacted, they had already become prisoners of the sailors and marines.

Taking the port, the marines set off three green flares.

The huge fleet began to slowly enter the harbor, and the battleships lined up along the harbor, and the warships were filled with catapults, ballistas, and gun carriages, ready to strike at the enemy forces that might arrive.

Transport ships and landing ships are guided by speedboats into the port docks.

The scale of the landing was unprecedented, with more than 300,000 horses and a large number of horses, as well as food, ordnance and other supplies.

The tribal coalition of the port and all the former Bohai people were immediately controlled by the soldiers of the Tiger Shark Regiment of the Marine Division, who were the first to go ashore, and they were driven out of the barracks, shops, houses, and prisoner camps, and then they were driven to a temporary camp by the sea, and they were all taken into custody.

Then, the Marines of the Tiger Shark Legion continued their non-stop advance, and by the evening of the same day, they had already captured the town of Archo, which was guarded by only one hundred-man team. It is a must-pass on the Amur Peninsula and the northern continent. It is a mountain pass of the peninsula and the northeast mountain. Status is very important. But because the Bohai people had already withdrawn to Tokyo. The main direction of attack of the tribal alliance is also in Zhongjing and Buyeofu, and there is only one partial division on the Tokyo side, and as for the Subin Mansion, which is already considered to be the rear in their opinion, there are not many troops arranged. On the southernmost peninsula of the province of Supin, they only put a thousand cavalry.

March in the Central Plains is already full of mountain flowers, peach and plum Fangfei, April. It is already colorful, and a hundred flowers are blooming all over. But here, the temperature is still below minus 20 degrees. Even further north, the colder it becomes, and in Shangjing and further northeast of the Bohai Sea, the temperature at this time reaches a low temperature of more than minus 40 degrees. In the northeastern part of the Bohai Sea, the end of February and the beginning of March is the heaviest snow season of the year.

The Central Plains has already entered spring in March, but in the northeast of the Bohai Sea, it is only in April that it begins to enter spring.

The port area of Vladivostok is close to the sea. Temperatures are slightly warmer, and it can be after March. It will also be minus 10 degrees Celsius, and even in April, the temperature will still hover at minus low. In such a season, the two front-line battlefields of Hyundeok and Buyeo have already entered a truce several months ago, and the war has not yet resumed. The rear here, naturally, is even more defenseless. They had no idea that the Qin army would suddenly come from the sea at this time, and instead of landing at Tokyo Dragon River Bay, they ran directly here.

When the Marines took control of the town of Archo, the entire Amur Peninsula and the archipelago in the rear were safe and secure.

A large number of troops began to land and swam into the peninsula, and the 100,000 men and more than 200,000 land and water troops who came with them began to work on the peninsula and the archipelago, and soon turned it into a huge construction site.

The first to be built were barracks, warehouses, and a rail road that ran north along the wharf.

Barracks were built, ondols were built, large chimneys and warehouses were built

A huge fleet of 3,000 ships was constantly pouring soldiers, horses, food, clothing, ordnance, and all sorts of other things into the harbor.

On the shore of the wharf, track roads have been paved, but a large number of materials have been ashore, so that the people have to continue to lay more tracks, so that the horse-drawn carriages can transport these materials from the shore as soon as possible.

For seven days, the landing of the Qin army had not yet been completed, but the port of Vladivostok had expanded more than ten times compared with the original, and it seemed to have become a huge armory. The ordnance of the mountains was piled up one after another in the warehouses on the peninsula, which stretched for more than ten miles, and were filled with bundles of brand-new bayonet guns, bow ridges, horizontal knives, feather arrows, bowstrings, crossbow arrows, gunpowder, and so on.

In terms of war horses, horses, mules and horses, etc., the Qin army transported a full 500,000 horses, and there were 20 war horses alone. There are also flying thunder cannons, generals' cannons, ballistas, and catapults, all assembled and partial, piled up one warehouse after another.

For safety reasons, it is stored on Bear Island, across the sea from the port. Bear Island is about 40 miles long and 30 miles wide, and is a natural barrier to the harbor. For the Qin army, which had a strong naval force, it was enough to hold the Amur Peninsula, occupy the port of Vladivostok, and at the same time hoard heavy materials such as grain and gunpowder on Bear Island, which was about five miles wide, which was enough to make the tribal coalition army sigh.

On Bear Island, the three most important materials of the Crusade troops were stored, food, gunpowder, and cotton clothing.

The Eastern Expeditionary Force came directly across the sea, and their logistical supplies depended entirely on the grain they had brought with them until they were able to enter the Bohai Sea area occupied by the coalition forces and obtain supplies. Food and grass for hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of horses are becoming more and more important. For this battle, the Qin army prepared for several years, especially in these two years, the people in the domain tightened their belts, saved rations, the military continued to hoard food, and produced a large number of canned food.

In a place like Bohai, abandoning the fortress and taking the initiative to fight against the coalition army was also a great challenge for the Qin army, so firearms were very important to the Qin army. Especially for this large-scale war, it is becoming more and more important.

In addition to food and gunpowder, cotton clothing is more important.

Vladivostok, which is more than 20 degrees below zero, has never experienced such severe cold in many Qin soldiers in their lives. Not to mention, the weather will be even colder after the northward advance, according to the intelligence collected by the Military Intelligence Agency, last year, in this area, the deepest snow was six feet six deep, nearly seven feet, this snow depth, means that the snow is even deeper than many people. In such a bitter cold, there is no warm clothing. The original warriors in the large army. Even survival is not guaranteed. What about fighting.

Fortunately, the Qin army had already begun to grow cotton in eastern and western Liaodong many years ago, and over the years, cotton production has gradually increased, and there has been a lot of storage.

Cotton jackets, woolen jackets, over-the-knee cotton coats, leather gloves and cotton gloves, leather hats, wool head and neck covers. Cotton trousers, cotton socks, cotton shoes, leather boots, woolen blankets, quilts, leather tents, warm sleeping bags, liquor, alabaster cream, chilblain cream, mouth grease, fireproof matches, the defensive equipment of the soldiers of the Crusade was almost armed to the teeth.

In addition, the Qin army also brought a large amount of new equipment, sleds, ice sleds

While detachments of vanguard cavalry units were sent out in all directions for armed reconnaissance, the landing in Vladivostok was still in progress.

Hundreds of thousands of people poured into the port, almost overnight. The peninsula, which stretches inland from the port, suddenly sprang up like mushrooms after rain, and towns made up of ice-and-snow camp walls and tents sprung up. Crusade soldiers behind a wall of ice and snow. According to the instruction manual, use ice cubes and snow towers to build igloos that can accommodate about ten people, and then set up leather tents inside, they spread leather cushions and wool blankets on the ground, and then when sleeping, the whole person gets into the sleeping bag, and then covers the outside with cotton quilts, so that most of the soldiers from the Central Plains can finally sleep peacefully at night without shivering.

At the beginning, many soldiers from the Central Plains, especially some soldiers who were originally brought from Jianghuai, felt incredible and deeply afraid and worried when they saw that they were asked to build houses with ice and snow and sleep directly in the ice and snow. In broad daylight, they are all armed and still fighting with cold teeth, and living in an ice nest at night is not going to be cold to death?

No matter how the officers explained, they were all difficult to accept. Fortunately, it was very simple to build an igloo, and when a large igloo was built, Li Jing was the first to go in, and then called some representatives of the southern soldiers to go in. Not long after, the soldiers who had been standing outside shivering and shivering came out of it, but they were all red-faced, it was not shy, but it was very warm in the igloo, they were wearing too much, and when they went in just now, some even put blankets on their bodies, and as a result, they had a fever.

At first, the other soldiers didn't believe it, but when they built an igloo by cutting ice and clearing snow, and then couldn't wait to enter it, they really felt much warmer inside.

Especially when they fenced off the igloo with their own leather tents, it was warmer in the igloo.

It's minus 20 or 30 degrees outside, but it's only minus 78 degrees inside the igloo, and if you enclose the igloo with skin, the room can even reach minus 12 degrees. Coupled with their leather cushions, blankets, sleeping bags, and quilts, many soldiers slept until midnight, and began to have to take off their thick sweaters and cotton robes.

The less you wear, the lighter you take off, and the warmer and more comfortable you sleep!

After entering the northern country, many soldiers also began to adapt to wiping their faces and bodies with snow.

Due to the large number of people, the military camps on the peninsula stretched for dozens of miles, and there were long queues for bathing, toileting, and eating every day.

Finally, on the ninth day of the landing, the vanguard cavalry of the Qin army had advanced into the interior for hundreds of miles, sweeping away all the tribal coalition forces in this area, and even the Bohai residents in this area were all brought back by the Qin army, and they, like those allied prisoners of war, became the construction laborers of the Qin army's forward base in Vladivostok.

The Qin army arrested them, not only because they needed their labor, but the most important thing was to keep them secret.

Hundreds of thousands of people landed in Vladivostok, which is a big move. But at this time, it has just passed the deepest snow month of the year, the temperature is still minus twenty or thirty degrees, and the coalition camp is very far away from this seaside place, and it is normal to sometimes go without news for a month or two in such weather. The key is that as long as the Qin army's scout cavalry controls this vicinity, it can be silent in a short period of time.

On March 30, the last day of March, Li Jing sat alone in his igloo.

The landing has basically been completed, and the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the landing force have also initially adapted to the weather in the north, and with the end of March, the temperature here is also rising, and the eastern part of the Bohai Sea has also begun to enter spring.

In this early spring in the northern country, the coalition army is still cowering in a hole like a poisonous snake, and has not yet begun to recover. After a while. They're going to go out again. Strike now. Just in time. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops landed. It is impossible to hide from the coalition army for too long, and more importantly, although the Qin army came with 3,000 ships, the food they could transport was limited after all, especially since they also brought 500,000 horses.

This time, Li Jing hollowed out the entire Qin Domain, and the bottom of the warehouse was swept clean by him.

The 200,000 elites of the Qin Domain, with several years of savings, this is a battle that must be won. Li Jing couldn't delay for long. He needed to attack immediately, taking advantage of the morale of the Qin army, and before the coalition forces had discovered their arrival and were unprepared, he would launch this resulting blow.

Li Jing had already studied the battle plan countless times, and after the successful landing, their march route was to go north along the Suibin River, that is, the Suifen River in later generations, and the wide and thick ice surface was the flattest avenue for marching. Follow this path. They went directly north and first took the city of Huazhou in the province of Subin on the banks of the Subin River. Then he seized Jianzhou to the west and approached directly to Longquan Mansion in Lushangjing. Then their goal was not to attack Shangjing directly, but to attack Bozhou behind Longquan Mansion in Shangjing first.

Bozhou is just north of Shangjing, which is the Mudanjiang River in later generations. This is also an important town on the Kuhan River, and occupying it is equivalent to cutting off the route of the coalition army in Shangjing.

Originally, the Qin army in the Bohai Sea was composed of two defense lines of Fuyu and Zhongjing, and these two defense lines were mainly established along the Shumo River in the west and the Kuhan River in the east. The defense of the Qin army in recent years has been such a V-shaped defensive network, with two lines and three points, firmly blocking the offensive of the coalition forces.

Now, Li Jing went around the upper right corner of this V-shaped from the sea, but immediately connected Shuzhou on the Shumo Water Defense Line in Fuyu and Zhongjing on the Khuhan River Defense Line with Bozhou behind their target Shangjing into a triangle, and surrounded the right route army of the allied forces in Shangjing in this triangle formation.

The route of the tribal alliance to attack the Bohai Sea is actually very clear, they went south from the Heilongjiang River in the later generations to the Songhua River, and then the troops divided into two routes, all the way to the south of Shumoshui, attacking the northwest of the Bohai Sea, and one part entered the Kuhan River to the south and attacked the northeast of the Bohai Sea. In modern times, it is also known as the second Songhua River, which flows west of the Songhua River, which is the southern source of the Songhua River and the main source. And the Kuhan River is the Mudanjiang River. The coalition forces invaded the Bohai Sea along these major rivers, the Heilongjiang, Nenjiang, Songjiang, and the Songhua River and Mudanjiang River.

The Khitan and Murwei entered the Songhua River from the Nenjiang River, and the Yan Yan entered the Songhua River from the Wulong River.

Then, after occupying the northern part of the Bohai Sea, the tribes and the allied forces of various tribes divided into two armies, the left and the left route, the Songhua River into the west Songhua River basin, and the southward attack on the Buyeo defense line. On the right side, the Songhua River entered the Mudanjiang River basin and went south, attacking the defense line of Zhongjing Xiandefu.

If Li Jing can successfully occupy Bozhou on the bank of the Mudanjiang River, it will already be the back road of the allied army's troops and horses on the right, and if he can recapture Shangjing, it will be good news for the Allied forces on the Bohai Battlefield, which has lasted for several years.

However, there is a distance of 800 miles from Vladivostok to Bozhou in a straight line, and the actual distance is at least 1,000 miles. This distance is very far, and along the way, the coalition forces are still occupying the control area, and they have to pass through the state and county, all the way through.

Li Jing was alone and meditating, smoking non-stop, and the room was filled with smoke.

Distance is the best defense, and this sentence makes a lot of sense. After crossing a thousand miles of enemy territory, Li Jing was very worried that before they arrived in Bozhou, the coalition army had already prepared. In that case, if you want to seize Bozhou, it will be difficult to surround the right army of the coalition army.

Maybe he should wait a few more days, according to the records of previous years and the predictions of the Celestial Viewer and the Onmyoji, the next few days will be continuous fine weather, and the temperature in this area will continue to rise, and in another half a month, the temperature may be much warmer than now, which is conducive to marching and fighting.

At sunset, Li Jing finally walked out of the igloo where no one was allowed to come near and disturb him. The senior generals of the army had already stood in two rows and waited for a long time, and they were all waiting for his decision.

Li Jing didn't have any expression, and walked directly into the largest igloo, and the generals rushed in.

There are no opening statements, and everyone understands that this is the time to decide.

Li Jing and the generals repeatedly discussed many details for a long time, and after the finality, Li Jing officially made a decision, and immediately started at dawn the next day. The 30,000 Changsheng army led by the corps commander Zhang Zimian Sheng was the front army, and half of the Iron Cavalry Corps led by the corps commander Guo Chongtao was the left army, including eight armies with a total of 40,000 horses. The other half of the Iron Cavalry Corps led by Lin Wei, the Duke of Weiguo, was the right army, which was also 40,000 horses in eight armies.

Li Jing personally led the Sixth Guards Army as the central army, with the Duke of Baoguo as the deputy commander, and commanded 15,000 Jinjia Shengjie Army, 15,000 Silver Spear Jie Army, 15,000 Guards Army, and 5,000 Qin Xunyi, 5,000 Special Service Army, and 5,000 Inner Service Army, a total of 60,000 people.

The Black Flag Legion was led by the corps commander Li Cunxiao as the rear army, including six armies with 30,000 horses.

Five routes of soldiers and horses, with a total strength of 200,000.

The officers and men of the naval division and the marines, a total of 30,000 men, stayed on the peninsula, 100,000 people, and the first batch of 30,000 people set out with the army to transport grain, grass and equipment, and the rest followed later.

After making this arrangement, Li Jing sat down, took out a cigar and lit it, and took a deep breath. The smoke with the scent of tea leaves and medicine swirls in the mouth and is then spit out and dispersed into the air. Li Jing took out his pocket watch and opened the cover, under the crystal mirror, the hands were pointing to seven o'clock in the evening! (To be continued......)
