Chapter 527 Arrival

In the direction of Yunzhou, Zhenningguan, and the tribal coalition forces now restraining a large amount of military force in the northeast of Northern Liao. The tribal coalition commanded by Tan Weiran and Chi Lei were originally advancing the war bit by bit according to the plan. If you want to change, you need a brand new combat strategy, which requires good communication and coordination between the troops in three directions. When the military camp followed the original plan, as the war progressed, as the army continued to move forward, Ye Tao, Dai Yun and Xue Yuan and Tan Weiming came here, they negotiated and formulated a new combat strategy. Then, several directions were adjusted according to this strategy, preparing to launch the final blow to Northern Liao.

What made everyone most anxious was the army of Tan Weiran and Chi Lei. The elite troops of Dongping they held were limited to conditions. There were no more than 10,000 people, that is, three reorganized battalions, plus their direct guards and scouts. One of the three battalions was the light cavalry they took over at that time, and the other was the heavy equipment camp that was transported directly from Yicheng. The other was the mixed battalion, which contained an airship squadron, a baggage squadron and a teaching squadron. The mixed battalion was responsible for extremely heavy logistics, reconnaissance, communication, and the work of training the barbaric soldiers of the tribe into soldiers with basic military qualities. Unless there was extremely important intelligence, the information from this army could only be transferred to Yicheng by sea, and then sent to Danyang through the telegram network, and then to Ye Tao's hands.

Although this transmission has been compressed to ten days with the continuous improvement of the lighthouses and relay communication stations built on a series of islands and reefs on the sea road, ten days are still too long on the ever-changing battlefield. In order to understand the actual situation and deploy the next stage of the new strategy, Ye Tao decided to run once in person. Ye Tao hopes that before the general attack in Yunzhou and Zhenningguan, the northeast direction will launch a considerable offensive, which will cause a certain scale to mobilize the current military power of the Northern Liao army to a certain scale. Naturally, such an offensive will have to bear considerable casualties, and the tribal coalition forces in the northeast direction are not directly affiliated with Dongping after all. Tan Weiran and Chi Lei have extremely high prestige there, but it is probably still difficult to make the tribal coalition forces sacrifice a lot to launch a frontal battlefield offensive.

A high-speed communication airship took two whole days to pass through the territory of Bei Liao and sent Ye Tao's upcoming news to Tan Weiran and Chi Lei. This scared the two of them. If they had not taken this level of adventure in the past, they had not taken this level of adventure. However, the air battle that happened not long ago showed that Bei Liao was already prepared in this regard, and the new airship in Dongping was not yet equipped, and the aircraft with great advantages over the airship would definitely not be able to fly for such a long distance. Once Ye Tao's flight team encountered interception, if something went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But Ye Tao had already set off a day after sending the pilot airship. Tan Weiran and Chi Lei discussed it for a while, and finally made up their minds to let the communication airship return on the same road. On the way, he notified Ye Tao's airship team to land in Jiamen Town. Outside Jiamen Town is a fertile field with a wide terrain and you can take off and land and supply operations without special construction of a mooring site. Then he stayed in Jiamen Town and then flew to the current headquarters of the tribal coalition army. Tianmeng City, a fortress-type city under construction. Ye Tao and his party naturally could not be as fast as the communication airship, and it would take about five days to arrive. But the problem now is that Jiamen Town is not in the hands of the tribal coalition army, and is still twenty-two miles away from their actual control line.

It is not because they were able to make such a promise. Of course, it is not because they did not capture Jiamen Town before, but because the control lines of both sides are more convenient for their own defense, and the pressure of troops is relatively small. Once they capture Jiamen, it means that the coalition forces enter the battle in the Great Plain, and they will have to adjust their combat methods and enter the plain, which means that more troops need to deploy and defend large areas, which means that the mobility of the combat is greatly reduced, and the possibility of large-scale battles is increased. In this regard, they are not fully prepared. However, they will temporarily capture Jiamen Town, and when Ye Tao comes, the entire army will evacuate. Anyway, when Ye Tao returns, it is really impossible to fight Jiamen Town again.

Jiamen Town is like a ripe fruit for them, ready to eat. They waited for a day and sent the heavy equipment camp to start the action. After an hour of bombardment, the Jiamen Town defenders surrendered. This was the most rigorous and formal, but also the most violent siege battle launched by the tribal coalition forces in history. Although they had seized many towns before, most of them were sneak attacks and strategic sieges with internal and external cooperation, or they had simply done the work of the defending generals before... Once the coalition forces opened their teeth and claws and showed a completely different side, they already felt that some of the Bei Liao generals who had touched the coalition forces were not mentally prepared at all. A heavy equipment camp... What a luxury existence, now, all the people in the world

Everyone knows that it is a unit with about 3,000 people, and the cost of a heavy equipment battalion. According to the standards set by Ye Tao, it is twelve times that of the light infantry battalion, four times that of the light cavalry battalion, and three times that of the heavy infantry battalion. The usual training and maintenance expenses are roughly the same. Moreover, there are only ten heavy equipment battalions in Dongping in the country, plus the Blood Qi Army and four heavy equipment battalions. The literacy rate of these more than 40,000 people is 100%. Basically, everyone can master the basic four mixed calculations. Half of people can use calculation rulers and quick search manuals, and one-six people can perform more complex calculations... Such troops are absolutely peak in this era of cold weapons, and are the digital artillery units of this era...

When the heavy equipment battalion and the tribal coalition launched a full-scale offensive of 16,000 people, the guards of Jiamen Town were almost crying. This was too bullying. In the past, the tribal coalition war usually had half the elite troops, half were still trained, or simply barbarians with only one stubborn mind... But this time, the light cavalry of the Frost Wolf Army's Silver Wing Army appeared; the tribal model army, which had completely met the discipline and combat capability standards of the light cavalry troops in Dongping, even the personal guards that the leaders of each tribe used to stay by their side to show off, were not just as simple as improving their combat effectiveness to a higher level after being equipped with different styles of armor and weapons produced by several armour workshops in Dongping... Anyway, there are no troops that are not of high-end quality at all.

The Jiamen Town garrison thought about it and didn't know when Jiamen Town became so important, but even if it was important, as for Jiamen Town, which had four or five thousand defenders, it wouldn't be able to use such a lineup to fight. He even thought that if the other party showed up and sent someone to discuss it, most of them would surrender directly...

Of course he didn't know that when he learned that Ye Tao was about to come, Tan Weiran, Chi Lei, and the tribal leaders were filled with fear of dealing with the inspection and acceptance of superiors. He also had a strong sense of confidence in declaring his achievements.

After conquering Jiamen Town, the Northern Liao side was also a little scared. In a daze, the Northern Liao side began to shrink its front-line troops and gathered in important towns, instead of deploying them in a scattered manner as before, guarding against harassment by the tribal coalition forces.

Outside Jiamen Town, a considerable mooring site was established within one day, and the airship team was also transferred to conduct daily air service surveillance and reconnaissance, as if they were facing a great enemy.

After Jiamen Town changed hands for four and a half days, the Northern Liao side finally confirmed that the tribal coalition was so frightened because Ye Tao was about to arrive. After Ye Tao and his party set off, the Northern Liao side received news. The Northern Liao side conducted two considerable interceptions, but Ye Tao's personal guard airship team was not a little stronger than other airship teams. Although there were no new airships, all airships made some minor changes to the characteristics that the flight altitude of the Northern Liao airship may be a little higher than that of its own, which is more convenient to fight against the enemy than its own target. Compared with the Northern Liao airship team's monotonous and boring weapons, the power and accuracy are insufficient, this team of airships is equipped with new rockets with considerable speed and accuracy. This specialized rocket to air is not

The pursuit of power is to pursue light weight and small size, and can launch clusters, and the launch speed and flight speed must be fast enough. A rocket launcher is equipped with six small rockets, directly covering an airspace, so that the Beiliao airship has no place to hide. For those more elite airships in Dongping, they do not even use expensive things like rockets. The divine arm bow and newly equipped special arrows are enough. The new type of arrow was developed specifically for the purpose of shooting airships. This kind of arrow is more rigorous in the selection of arrow shafts, requiring absolute stability of the center of gravity, and the triangular tail feather can maintain the stability and accuracy of the arrow flying very well. The special arrow cluster hits the airship airbag and tear a big hole, which is absolutely true...

Bei Liao intercepted twice, almost all the airships that had been built were sold out. But what they took out in the air battle was a tragic result of 63 to zero. Ye Tao taught Bei Liao a lesson this time: high-tech troops, number and single attributes leading, and there was no meaning at all... What's more, Bei Liao's airship commander didn't know how to make full use of the ceiling advantage...

"General, there is news... Marshal Ye's airship team has already connected with our airship. About... an hour later, to Jiamen Town." Another day later, Chi Lei, who had just finished his morning training subject, returned to the command post, the messenger brought the news.

"Immediately send an order for the entire army to be warned and ready for combat. The airship team took the air to alert everyone. Notify everyone that we will go outside the city to welcome Marshal Ye." Chi Lei laughed, stood up, threw down a string of orders and rushed to find Tan Weiran.

There were more than 2,000 people who went to the mooring ground to welcome Ye Tao, especially the leaders of various tribes. The scene of all dressings was even rare. These tribe leaders respected Tan Weiran and Chi Lei, but they were no longer just grateful, respect and curiosity to Ye Tao, who had always been famous, and they had a religious belief. They now admired Dongping's military strength and culture, and they seemed to be out of reach for such a life. Tan Weiran and Chi Lei, who already had some understanding of tribe habits, saw that some tribe leaders even wore clothes that were usually only qualified to worship the heaven and earth ceremony that was only qualified for the entire tribe conference. Although they couldn't help but feel a little rolling, the tribe leaders' hearts were undoubtedly experienced.

Just completed another search around the mooring field, and the defensive forces were arranged. As soon as the team we welcomed, Ye Tao's airship team appeared in the distant sky. The beauty of Yunzhou-1 airship moved those who have been used to seeing the airship. Now it is still an era of rapid renewal of the generation, and Yunzhou-1 will always be the most advanced and safest airship of this era. The new Yunzhou-1 is still a snow-white look that is not stained with any variegated colors.

There is only a blue-green tree-shaped mark on the front of the airship airbag. It is Ye Tao's handsome flag and the family emblem of the Ye family. There are always various hooks outside other airships, with different protrusions. The hull of Yunzhou No. 1 is simple and refined, and the smooth surface allows the perfect curves of the airship to be fully displayed. Even the huge ground-to-ground viewing glass on both sides of the airship cockpit perfectly fits this arc... The forming technology of curved glass alone is a big flyby.

And when such an airship is getting closer and closer and clearer into everyone's eyes, everyone can't take their eyes off. The only thing they feel is a little embarrassed and confused may be the ground crew waiting for the airship to throw down the ropes and perform mooring operations...

When Yunzhou No. 1 was steadily parked at about twenty feet above the mooring, a plate under the airship cockpit retracted about two inches into the boat, and then moved away to the side. An airship crewman poked his head out of the opening, squeezed his eyes at the ground crew whose confused expression had not yet disappeared, and then threw a roll of rope down.

The airship fell smoothly, and everyone surrounded him. Everyone could see that Ye Tao was standing behind the ground-to-ground viewing window, smiling and indicating to everyone. Everyone suddenly realized... not only the curve problem, but the entire huge glass window with curved lines that perfectly matched the hull had no frame in the middle. It can be seen that although this entire huge viewing window was spliced ​​from left to right, the connection between the glasses was completely relied on glue, giving people a huge visual impact... Just these incredible giant glasses made everyone present anxious. What kind of people use what kind of things, and what will Ye Tao, who can ride such a miraculous airship, bring to everyone?
