Liu Pei looked around and looked at everyone's faces, of course he knew their thoughts. But Liu Pei knew more about the importance of rights being subject to supervision! So Liu Pei took over the conversation and said, "Since that's the case, the question before us is how to cross the Liaohe River?"

Wu Yizhou immediately shouted: "This is easy! Our Navy will just need to land on the beach again!"

The army officers on the road immediately started to clamor and expressed their opposition! They all said that the army is capable of crossing the Liao River and does not need the navy to intervene! Wu Yizhou brought a group of naval officers to argue with reason, and the two sides quarreled together!

After arguing for a while, everyone remembered that Liu Pei was sitting on it. He looked at Liu Pei's face that looked smiling, and slowly stopped the quarrel.

Liu Pei turned his head and said, "What is the opinion of the General Staff?"

A young staff officer stood up and said with a smile: "Of course, the Navy and the Army are fighting together!"

Liu Pei immediately burst into laughter after hearing this! The officers present, both the army and the navy, began to curse the officers and muds of the staff! The officers of the staff were not upset, but instead cheered and high-high to celebrate their successful escape from a dispute between sea and land!

Anyway, they are officers of the General Staff. Although the ranks are on the navy and the army, as long as they do not have any jurisdiction over them, the officers present have no right to govern them! So they are proud of themselves!

Liu Pei waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and then said, "Have our subsequent troops arrived? We divided our troops to guard the road, which made the main troops much thinner!"

The officer of the General Staff just now said: "Master, we have drawn 60,000 people from all over the place to form an army's troops. These people will be dispersed to guard the important places along the way! The garrisoned troops will gather together after the defense is replaced and they will gather with the main force! It is expected that after we cross the Liaohe River, they will catch up with us."

Liu Pei nodded and said, "It's very good! Then settle down! Tomorrow, we will go north, take down Xiping Fort, and then prepare to cross the river! As for the navy, we must enter the Liao River immediately and block the entire river channel,

Ensure the safety of the crossing forces!”

Everyone naturally nodded and agreed. Liu Pei told others a few words to put away your pride. Because after Guo He, from now on, please put away your pride. Never be careless, because from now on, we will face a group that will strive for survival. Such people are terrible. After all, for survival, human beings can do everything. So I hope you will take every step steadily. Or will you stand up and agree? We are agreeing. At the same time, the seriousness of each officer has also ignited a raging fire, which is the flame of desire. They know that it is unlikely to have a big war in the short term. This will be the best opportunity for them to seize the military industry.

There were not many Qing army defenders in Xiping Fort. There were only 4,000 people stationed. Among them, 3,000 were Han army flags and 1,000 were Eight Banner soldiers.

This time, Liu Pei did not play any trick of surrounding three and missing one, because he was sure that there were no Qing cavalry around him, so he simply surrounded Xiping Fort and attacked on all sides!

Xiping Fort is a pure military fort, covering a relatively small area. After defeating the artillery on the city, the artillery on all sides could enter and shoot, almost covering the entire Xiping Fort! So after a burst of bombing, the city was broken in the evening that day!

Taking Xiping Fort means that it is close to the Liaohe River. And it is indeed a good place to cross the river. Otherwise, Xiping Fort would not have been built here back then! The purpose is to block the northern army that came from crossing the river!

Soon, the army set up a camp by the river. Liu Pei stood on the shore and looked into the distance with a telescope. He could see teams of Qing cavalry patrolling the river bank.

However, Liu Pei was not worried about this, because he knew that the navy's naval guns could sweep everything that could move on the river bank and help his soldiers grab a landing site! Even if the floating bridge could not be built, the navy had the ability to transport a large number of people and supplies. The Qing army demolished the bridge on the Hun River, which at best caused him some trouble.

As Liu Pei guessed, the ships of the Navy and the Inland Fleet were quickly cleaned up.

After the river channel, all the ambush Qing garrisons and fire ships were destroyed, and the opportunity was to completely grasp the Liaohe River! Then, under the cover of the gunboat, the Marine Corps successfully seized the foothold and began to build a floating bridge.

The river crossing location chosen by Liu Pei is at the tip of the angle formed at the intersection of the Liaohe River and the Taizi River. The reason for choosing this road is to use the advantages of the navy to cover the two wings. In the narrow area at the intersection of the two rivers, just defend the front side!

In addition, waterways can be used to provide supplies to the army. After all, after continuous combat, various shells and gunpowder are consumed a lot. Then there will be a war, and sufficient supplies can be used to win this war.

After the army crossed the river, it began to advance towards Shenyang. Liu Pei had already predicted that this would be a arduous journey. But the actual situation was worse than he thought!

The Qing army, who had a try to survive, began to try every means to obstruct their actions! Ambush, raid, harassment almost day and night! The Qing army also learned to use small units to fight. If you have to, these small units will also combine large units to carry out raids!

Even after the Liaohe River and Taizi River were already controlled by the Shandong Navy, the Qing army's counterattack never stopped! Xiaoguzi's Qing army troops set fire platoons, scattered logs, or sending water ghosts to the pontoon bridge to try to burn the pontoon bridge, etc. have never stopped!

Navy soldiers were also exhausted by the Qing army! Fortunately, there were few soldiers who could carry out water activities. After the first two or three days of survival, the Qing army in Huishui was almost injured, and their offensive slowed down, and now it was more like a harassing attack.

At the same time, since the Shandong soldiers crossed the river and went to the journey close to Shenyang, it was a case of war and education! Various different tactics frequently appeared, showing the mobility of the Qing army to the fullest!
