Chapter 49: Strong Enemy Coming
I crossed over 170 kilograms again and tried 180 kilograms directly. It was a little difficult, but I still raised it.
Chen Xun finally stood directly in front of the heaviest 250-pound stone lock in the stone lock area, stole the horse, took a deep breath, grabbed the stone lock lever, and lifted it up hard, which was very difficult, but it still successfully lifted it up. After swaying his body, it felt that it was not yet reached its limit. Chen Xun first waved the stone lock to the bottom of the cross section, then lifted it up with force, successfully lifted it over the top of his head and supported it.
The stone lock is not a weightlifting rod in later generations. It can allow the arms to stretch out and force. The crossbar in the middle of the stone lock is very short. To raise the stone lock, you can only use the strength of one arm, and the other arm is auxiliary.
Therefore, only a 250-pound stone lock can become the largest stone lock in the schoolyard.
Carefully put down the stone lock, Chen Xun shook his slightly sore arm, feeling really surprised.
Being able to lift a stone lock of 250 kilograms means that you can play a stone lock of 200 kilograms, which is equivalent to 256 kilograms in later generations.
Imagine an ordinary strong man, holding a fat man's belt, swinging him around in the air, holding him over and over again, and then turning around his shoulders.
That situation was so shocking!
"Is horse's elegance a huge force?" Chen Xun secretly guessed in his heart.
But why call it "elegance?"
I was planning to conduct some more tests, such as movement speed, reflective speed, flexibility, etc., but I didn't expect that I would be interrupted before it even started.
An information about the interruption of Chen Xun came from Guangzhou.
"The officers and soldiers set out from Panyu. In addition to one hundred warships, they also hired more than two hundred other ships to transport infantry..."
The war is coming, and there is no time to test it carefully.
"Start prepare for war!" With Chen Xun's order, the war machine in Chenjiazhuang began to move.
Because the estuary of the Pearl River cannot be blocked, the large horses thrown into the river will soon be taken away by the turbulent water flow, so Chenjiazhuang cannot affect the waterway routes of the officers and soldiers, nor their landing locations, and can only wait for news.
On February 21st, the officers and soldiers in Guangzhou were boarding the ship for a whole day, including personnel, supplies, mules and horses, simple boarding facilities and inefficient command, which gave Chenjiazhuang one day preparation time.
On February 22, the officers and soldiers began to descend along the river, and the speed was very fast. They set off in the morning and arrived at the location of the Daning Salt Field in the afternoon, and then the fleet stopped.
"Will you log in here?" The pigeons flew back one by one, and the information was also transmitted, allowing Chen Xun to grasp the movements of the official army in a timely manner.
The Daning Salt Field has a high salt production and is located outside the estuary of the Pearl River, so the port is large in size and is indeed suitable for docking.
"If you land here, you will be forty miles away from our Chenjiazhuang." Everyone gathered around a large square table, and in the middle was a simple sand table made in a hurry.
No matter how simple the sand table is, it is more intuitive than the current map.
"Along the way, there is only one Maoshan who can hide some people, but this place will definitely become the focus of investigation for officers and soldiers." Sun Zheng said, pointing to a small protrusion on the sand table.
"I can't hide it anymore, just follow the established combat plan." Chen Xun decided to seize it.
"Okay, as long as we confirm that the officers and soldiers landed from the Daning Salt Field, we will start to take action." Lu Hui said.
"Kore, you can set off with your fleet." Chen Xun ordered: "Remember, your goal is to attract warships that attract officers and soldiers, not to fight them."
"I understand." Ke Lei nodded.
After Ke Lei went out, everyone continued to wait in the temporary combat command room.
"Are you prepared enough dry food?" Chen Xun asked Liu Yu with some concern.
"Don't worry, each person's rations have been handed to their own hands for three days." Liu Yu replied.
Chenjiazhuang did not have a logistics force when going out for battle, so the dry food could only be carried by the soldiers themselves. For this reason, Chen Xun asked someone to prepare a large amount of fried rice. The climate in the south is humid, and the shelf life of the food is very short. Chen Xun can only prepare dry fried rice, which contains diced dried vegetables and diced dried meat. The taste is poor. Before eating, soaked in hot water to form thick porridge, which will taste much better.
"Although we plan to fight quickly, the war is not under our control, and it is still very likely to become a war of attrition. Therefore, you should prepare your logistics work early and be ready to transport food and grass to the front line at any time."
"I understand." Liu Yu replied.
"You are not doing anything here for the time being, go and do it." Chen Xun waved his hand.
At the beginning of the battle, the busiest thing should be the logistics department, and the person in charge should not be consumed in the command room.
With one person missing again, the atmosphere in the command room became a little nervous.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"The latest information on the front line, the officers, soldiers and infantry began to disembark."
"Wait a little longer." Chen Xun said to everyone.
It is possible that officers and soldiers will act in separate routes, and they still have to wait until the officers and soldiers’ infantry have all arrived ashore before they can determine their main attack direction.
Another hour passed, two intelligences came from the front line, and it was finally confirmed that the officers, soldiers and infantry did indeed land from the Daning Salt Field.
"Let's go." Chen Xun ordered: "I wish you all a triumphant return!"
"The subordinates will definitely return with victory!" The few of them stood up together and bent down to Chen Xun and bowed.
*******
"After leaving the Daning Salt Field, follow the coast and heading southeast to the southeast, Chenjiazhuang is here." Dongguan County Magistrate Wang Xu, standing next to Su Zhi, the commander of Guangzhou's military commander, introduced: "There is a small hill called Maoshan, all of them are flat and there is no danger to guard."
Dongguan County is a big county, the county magistrate is a seventh-rank official, and the chief magistrate is an eighth-rank official. The county magistrate is actually the first-rank higher than the chief magistrate.
However, Dujian is a state official and the Xiangjun in Guangzhou is a real official position. In addition, Dujian Su Zhi is the highest commander of the officers and soldiers who encircled Chenjiazhuang this time, so the Dongguan County Magistrate did not dare to be arrogant. He just wanted to respect his duties and responsibilities to do a good job in this "guidance" and complete the trouble as soon as possible.
Originally, Le Zhi was the one who was the "guide". Cole Zhi was killed by thieves a few days ago. The county magistrate was too involved in this matter, so Wang Xu had to go on the battle himself.
"The little Chenjiazhuang is not afraid of it. Once the army arrives, it will be wiped out." There has been no large-scale war in Guangzhou for many years, and it has never happened since Su Zhi took office. It is usually a single-digit criminal gang. This time, he was very energetic when commanding such a large-scale war.
"A thief from a small village, Su Du led a large army over, and the horses were naturally successful." Everyone carried the flower sedan chair, and Wang Xu followed Su Zhi's words and said.
"I heard that the Chen thieves colluded with the pirates. The pirates were well-equipped, and they actually had bed crossbows and catapults. However, this time I borrowed ten large divine arm crossbows from the imperial guards and ten medium-sized divine arm crossbows. I guess they could catch them off guard." Su Zhi still had a certain ability to sit in the seat of the governor.
