(Powerful, the third watch, to see if the brothers give strength, can today's red votes break 6,000?) ）

The thousand-stone three-masted ship is 12 zhang long, 2 zhang and 4 feet wide, with 13 watertight compartments, and the lower and stern cabins carry horses and people on the deck. After nightfall, the north wind prevailed, and with the help of sailing, they bypassed the delta of the Yellow River estuary overnight, transported the second battalion of 600 soldiers and 300 horses from Cangnan to 200 miles away, and stopped at the Xiaoqing estuary in Bohai County in the morning to land ashore.

Although there are many generals and horses who are not accustomed to the wind and waves at sea, seasickness is severe, forming a certain proportion of non-combat attrition.

After rectification, except for the seasick and some of the soldiers who stayed behind to escort the ship with the shipwrights and sailors, Cao Ziang led more than 460 generals and more than 240 horses to the official road from Bincheng to Bohai County on the inner line, looking for the outpost of the captive cavalry.

Sun Shangwang and Sun Wenbing led the villagers of Cangnan and the first section of the Gongyi Battalion to Jimo in the southern part of the Shandong Peninsula, and it was an established route to take Bohai County, bypass Laizhou Bay, and cross the Shandong Peninsula along the Jiaolai River.

Cao Ziang calculated the time and speed of the outpost from Cangnan, and estimated that his outpost search force of about 100 to 150 men should cross Bincheng County in the morning, and the main force of the counterattack Cangnan cavalry was stationed in Xiaobotou Village.

Cao Ziang did not send scouts, and led his troops to go north directly along the official road, and outside the south gate of Bohai County, he met the search force of the captive cavalry outpost that was provoking the defenders in the city.

Cao Ziang directly played the banner of the second battalion of the Jiangdong Left Army, with the light armored infantry of the Sidu team as the core, and the cavalry of the Liangdu team to protect the two wings, and the cavalry of the Liangdu team outflanked and launched an attack on the outpost of more than 100 captives.

The cavalry outpost hastily engaged in battle, but the strength could not be defeated, and they fled around the city.

The cavalry of the second battalion has been strengthened, with a total of more than 200 people in the Sidu team, although the individual combat effectiveness is not with the outpost of the cavalry, but relying on the advantage of defeating the cavalry enemy and outflanking in a roundabout way, there are both armor behind him, and he is fighting according to the city, and the number is twice as many as the enemy cavalry, so he can naturally pursue fearlessly and on horseback, until the afternoon he returned to the south gate of Bincheng according to the agreement, and did not enter the city to rest, and returned straight to the landing place with more than 30 heads to board the ship offshore.

First take advantage of the northwest wind to sail to the island outside the mouth of the Yellow River to anchor and stop the ship, wait for the southeast wind to rise, and then go north to join the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army.

**********

The defeated outpost in Bohai County fled north without horsepower, and rushed back to Xiaobotou Village in Cangnan at dusk to join the main force of Nahexiong Qi who was stationed in Xiaobotou Village.

Timur, the deputy commander of the capital, raised his eyebrows and brought the escaped outpost to Nakh Xiongqi and looked at him with squinted eyes.

Na Hexiong Qi frowned, he wanted to cut wood and build canoes to go to sea to reconnoitre, but the villagers of Cangnan fled, and there were no shipbuilders in his army, so he couldn't build a qualified canoe that could go to sea in one day.

Na He Xiongqi thought that it was impossible for the Jiangdong Left Army to retreat south in a hurry, and even if there were very obvious signs, he also believed that it was still likely that the Jiangdong Left Army was playing a suspicious plan to divide the troops, but the interception battle that took place in Bohai County early this morning overturned his speculation.

Although the Jiangdong Left Army, which appeared in Bohai County early this morning, only had about one battalion of soldiers and horses, unless the scouts of the Jiangdong Left Army had the ability to transmit the news that their main force was stationed in Xiaobotou Village back to Bohai County, two hundred miles away, without discovering it overnight, it was unlikely that the Jiangdong Left Army would intercept their outpost troops so fiercely with only one battalion of soldiers and horses in Bohai County.

You must know that the volley launched by the Jiangdong Left Army in Bohai County leaves almost no way to retreat, as long as there are one or two hundred cavalry behind the outpost, it can completely turn defeat into victory. Moreover, judging from the performance of the Jiangdong Left Army in the volley battle, the generals of this battalion did not pretend to be miscellaneous soldiers, but were really the main combat strength of the Jiangdong Left Army.

In terms of time, the Jiangdong Left Army should retreat to Bohai County, even if the Jiangdong Left Army wants to use the strategy of dividing the troops into doubts, it seems unlikely that it can be so accurate in terms of timing and place.

Na He Xiongqi never thought that the Jiangdong Left Army could use sea ships to send a battalion of armor soldiers to a distance of 300 miles overnight.

Although there are also sea ships in Liaodong, most of the sea ships captured by Donghu in Liaodong are medium-sized sea ships with single or double masbreasts, and they can be called "very sick in their travels" if they can travel 100 miles at night, so how can Nahe Xiongqi imagine that there are still fast ships that can travel 300 miles by sea at night?

The north makes the car and the south makes the boat, which also forms the respective advantages of the north in the car-making technology and the south in the shipbuilding technology.

Most of the northern sea vessels are single-type fan-shaped sails, and the efficiency of the use of wind power is far less than that of the complex operation of the compound longitudinal sails, coupled with the huge difference in the design concept of the ship shape and the difference in the degree of resistance to typhoon storms, the northern ships are far behind the southern ships in terms of speed and structural strength.

Although Lin Jian did not know much about shipbuilding technology, he had two ideas, the sea ship should be easy and fast to maneuver, and the other was to have a strong structure and good wave resistance. The Longjiang Shipyard under the Ministry of Industry of Jiangning gathered the best shipbuilders in the world, and Lin Jian spared no money on silver, and several ships under the Jiyun Society could be said to be the most advanced sailing ships in the world.

Ge Siyu figured out the experience of the boatman in actually manipulating the sailboat, and created the boat management and sail control technology of "adjusting the wind to fight the wind", and even made the double sail can slowly borrow the wind power to move forward slowly when the wind is headwind.

These are things beyond the imagination of the Donghu generals, and He Xiongqi can't think about it and can't blame him.

Na He Xiongqi still felt that there was no reason for the Jiangdong Left Army to retreat southward in great depth, but he could not overturn the facts in front of him, nor could he forcibly suppress the strong will of the generals under his command to pursue the Jiangdong Left Army south.

"The Jiangdong Left Army has already withdrawn to the territory of the Bohai Sea, and if we hesitate to let the Jiangdong Left Army withdraw to Linzinan, it will be too deep for us to enter......" Although Xinjue Timur said that he was rude, he was not a reckless man who did not understand military affairs, and with the speed of the Jiangdong Left Army coercing the villagers of Cangnan, it would take at least three days for their cavalry to catch up, and it would take two days for them to forcibly march. Even if they pursue non-stop now, they will chase the Jiangdong Left Army to the southern line of Guangrao. At that time, even if the Jiangdong Left Army found a small city to hide, they could still besiege it and find an opportunity to break the city and annihilate it. If this side delayed for a long time, let the Jiangdong Left Army flee into Linzi City, or flee further south, they led 5,000 cavalry to besiege Linzi City, and the strength was insufficient; Further south to pursue, in the case of Jinan not down, it is too inward.

Nahe Xiongqi also knew that it was not too late, and before he summoned all the senators to discuss the matter, he sent two teams of outposts of 300 horsemen each to search along both sides of the official road.

The defeat of Cangnan was regarded by all the staff and leaders as a humiliating defeat that could not be tolerated in this southward journey, not to mention the abandonment of the corpses and the cutting of the heads of the men killed in the Donghu war, which aroused the anger in their hearts. If it weren't for Na Hexiong Qi's strong suppression, they would even have to lead their troops to pursue without authorization. Na Hexiong Qi summoned all the senators to discuss the matter, and naturally they all said in unison that they would take advantage of the night to pull out the camp and pursue it.

In addition to the Dengzhou Naval Division, Shandong's main combat-effective soldiers and horses are concentrated in Jinan Prefecture, and the local defenders of Zhufu County east of Jinan Mansion have not yet been put in the eyes of the Dongyu generals.

Nahe Xiongqi had to agree to pursue lightly overnight, but to prevent the Jiangdong Left Army from hiding on the island, he also made a staff leader and three assistants lead 900 cavalry to stay in Xiaobotou Village. In addition to the thousands of headless corpses that died in the First Battle of Cangnan, they also had some baggage, supplies, and horses to leave in Xiaobotou Village.

Before, because he didn't know the direction of movement of the Jiangdong Left Army, and because the entire Hejian Mansion had been looted for them, there were only those particularly difficult dock villages left, and Na He Xiongqi didn't plan to gnaw them, so he set out from Dezhou and brought enough grain, grass and supplies.

Traveling southward to pursue lightly, interspersed with the unlost prefectures and counties in central Shandong, you can get grain on the spot, and the grain, grass and other baggage brought by you will naturally stay in Xiaobotou Village for the time being.

*************

The bright moon bent like a hook hangs in the night sky, sprinkling brilliance, making the snow-covered Cangnan Plain shine, the island is only more than two miles away from the sea pond embankment, the moonlight is good, although only a vague black shadow can be seen, but the situation of the small Botou village riding off can be recognized. The specific situation will not be known until Wu Qi sends someone to sneak ashore to observe it up close and come back to report.

In the middle of the night, the secret sentry found out the troops left behind in Xiaobotou Village and came back in a small boat to report.

Lin Tie didn't go back to the boat, and pulled Zhou Pu, Ao Canghai, Ning Zechen, Ge Cunxin, Zhao Qingshan and others to sit in the snow on the island in the bright moonlight to make tactical arrangements: "The main force of the captive cavalry forcibly marched to the south to pursue, and at dawn it should cross the middle of Yangxin, and we must release enough cavalry to the north of the Xiaomi River or Longkou River, which is not only to warn the main force of the captive cavalry to return to the north suddenly, but also to cut off the channel between Xiaobotou Village and the main force of the captive cavalry......"

"Want to storm Xiaobotou Village?" Ning Zechen asked with some excitement.

"There are only 900 cavalry left behind, not much, you might as well attack him once," Lin Jian said, "There is a tactical principle you have to remember, a strong army cannot be called strong until it is deployed. Therefore, we must do everything possible to play to our strengths, and do everything possible to restrict the enemy from playing to their strengths. The strength of the captives lies in the field battle, borrowing horses to maneuver, interspersed with actions, thundering, its veterans are good at riding and archery, people on horseback, it seems to be integrated with the war horse, and the tactical use is also extremely flexible. But besieging them in the village and attacking them is in fact forcing them to give up their maneuvers and dismount to fight the defensive battles that they are not good at. Its shield armor is not as tough as mine, its sword is not as sharp as mine, its spear is not as long as mine, its bow and arrow are not as strong as mine, and the danger of Xiaobotou Village is enough to defend ......"

Almost all of the captive cavalry generals use curved ridge long knives, no shield, light armor, and bows are riding bows that cannot shoot at close range, and there are almost no long weapons.

A few days of circumvention in the north of Yangxin and the great victory in Cangnan all showed that the captive cavalry did not take much advantage of the infantry array with a tight array and a firm will to fight, and the suppression of the captive cavalry who dismounted and fought was even more obvious.

Although there are mostly veterans with rich combat experience in the captive cavalry, the Jiangdong Left Army is much stronger than the captive cavalry who dismounted and fought in terms of armor and equipment. Besides, the morale of the Jiangdong Left Sergeants was very high, and their combat experience was also accumulated to a certain extent in the Cangnan victory.

Speaking of famous generals through the ages, the core elements of new and old soldiers are always the spiritual elements of morale, martial arts and combat will.

Ning Zechen hurriedly asked for battle and said: "This time, it's the turn of our fifth battalion to fight for the first time......

"Okay, then Zhao Qingshan led the fourth battalion to land, responsible for guarding along the Xiaomi River and blocking the channel, Ao Canghai led the first battalion to stay by my side as a reserve, Ning Zechen and Zhou Pu led the third battalion and the fifth battalion to block the north and south gates of Xiaobotou Village to attack it, and the fifth battalion will attack the main battalion, and the Gonglu battalion will mainly cooperate with the fifth battalion to attack the village," Lin Jian said, "You go to mobilize and discuss specific tactics now, and start after dawn......
