In the 3867th year

of the lunar calendar, spring, "These five families are really good writers."

Lin Jiang held a stack of articles in his hand, all of which denounced the King of Thailand, with the focus on discussing the illegality of the King of Thailand's self-proclaimed emperor. From the founding emperor of the Chen Kingdom to the previous emperor, the relationship was sorted out, and he knew more about the genealogy of his family than the Chen royal family did.

As for other things saying that the King of Thailand was stupid, cruel, incompetent, etc., it was just icing on the cake. Anyway, it proved from many aspects that the King of Thailand's self-proclaimed emperor was illegal and his rule needed to be overthrown.

"Sir, the Five Surnames of Chen State are the top families in Chen State. Every generation is full of outstanding people..."

"Military advisor, I know what you want to say. I didn't expect that you, a rebel leader, would respect them so much."

"It's different, sir, it's different..."

"Okay, I know what you mean. They won't suffer."

Lin Jiang waved his hand. Xie Yunfeng and the other five came to him two months ago. Lin Jiang also met them in person. After a chat, these five people did show the ability of aristocratic families. They are not on the same level as Lin Jiang's current grass-roots team. They are much higher.

After all, they have hundreds of years of foundation, which is really not comparable to these refugees.

And behind them are almost all the interests of the northern and even most of the southern nobles. Just look at the way the military advisor respects them. You must know that the military advisor was the first to instigate the refugees to rebel. Their personal charm is beyond doubt.

But Lin Jiang did not use him at the beginning. The aura of this century-old family was useless to Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang was afraid that he would be sidelined by them because the power behind them was too strong.

But now it seems that they are too capable. In two months, even if they were arranged by Lin Jiang to the lowest level, they were still very capable. It would be unreasonable if they were not promoted.

"Military Advisor, send all these articles out, and try to send them to every state to know that next month, on February 2, we will send troops to Taizhou."

"Yes, sir, but with such a big move, Taizhou may have to take precautions."

"It doesn't matter, just make them take precautions. If we can succeed in one battle, that would be the best."

Lin Jiang didn't care. He hoped that the King of Thailand would gather all the troops so that he could defeat them at once, so as to avoid attacking one city after another.

·········

On February 2, 3867 of the lunar calendar, Lin Jiang offered sacrifices to heaven and earth outside Fengzhou City and held a military ceremony. Then, under the pretext of the King of Dai, he announced an expedition against the King of Thailand.

After the ceremony, he immediately dispatched troops. Lin Jiang mustered 80,000 troops, plus 120,000 auxiliary troops, totaling 200,000 troops. He claimed to have 500,000 troops and marched eastward, heading straight for Taizhou City.

In this war, Lin Jiang did not think of a surprise attack, and had warmed up in advance. When the King of Thailand learned that Lin Jiang was coming to fight them, he also made many preparations. On the surface, he exaggerated that Lin Jiang was a rebellious act, but secretly he stepped up preparations and sent envoys to lobby Lin Jiang, hoping to negotiate with Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang naturally ignored them. The King of Thailand had no choice but to resist stubbornly. He stationed a large number of troops in Hecheng, west of Taizhou City. Hecheng was the gateway to Taizhou City, and there was a tributary of Yunjiang River as a natural barrier, hoping to stop Lin Jiang.

When Lin Jiang led his army to the west of Hecheng, the Taizhou troops had already collected all the boats on the river. Lin Jiang ordered the army to stop, collect boats, cast rafts, and prepare to cross the river.

"General, this is Pinghe River, which originates from Yunjiang River and is 3,600 miles long. The widest part of the river is 18 miles, and the narrowest part is 3 miles. The river here is about 6 miles. In the north, King Tai has a navy of more than 8,000 people and more than 100 large and small warships. If you want to take Taizhou, you must first take Hecheng. If you want to take Hecheng, you must first destroy its navy."

Xie Yunfeng stood in front of Lin Jiang and analyzed the information for Lin Jiang. This river is the first difficulty that Fengzhou troops must overcome. If they can't cross the river, there is nothing to say.

"Write it down, send a message back to Fengzhou, and let Tian Xiong send people to expand the shipyard. Give him three years. I want a strong navy."

"Uh, sir, this..."

Xie Yunfeng was a little dumbfounded. There was a war, and it was too late to start building a shipyard now.

Lin Jiang didn't explain much. It wasn't needed right now. Just build the navy first. It would be needed later.

Five days later, the National Defense Army collected more than a hundred large and small ships and thousands of rafts. Lin Jiang immediately selected 500 elite soldiers, brought enough kerosene and other supplies, and went upstream to burn the ships.

"There is only one chance. Watch out. I will go first and open the gap. You can break through the gap and enter the port. There is no need to entangle with the enemy. Just burn it for me."

After dark, Lin Jiang brought people to the river and said to the five hundred people. After that, he jumped onto a small boat alone. The boat was full of dry firewood and straw soaked with kerosene.

Lin Jiang picked up the oars and started rowing. He immediately showed everyone what a human engine is. Lin Jiang threw his arms and the whole boat flew out like an arrow. This is why there is no dragon boat race, otherwise he would have won the championship.

"There are people on the river"

"It's an enemy attack"

"Shoot the arrows quickly"

When there were still a few hundred meters away from the navy port on the opposite bank, Lin Jiang was discovered. The people stationed on the warships began to shout. When they fired the first round of arrows, Lin Jiang had already rushed in front of them. He took out

a fire starter and lit it. The whole boat immediately caught fire. Lin Jiang picked up two burning firewood and threw them directly, hitting the sail.

"Kill!"

A master of the navy came to kill, but was killed by Lin Jiang with one sword.

"It's Wolong"

"Martial Saint Wolong"

approached, and finally someone saw Lin Jiang's iconic mask, and immediately screamed in fear.

In the back, five hundred people had already taken action, either in small boats or rafts, and were also approaching quickly. They were also warriors with martial arts skills, and their main strength was great.

Lin Jiang was still fighting, and everyone had arrived. It was not just a few ships that were on fire, the entire port was on fire, and I don't know how many ships were on fire.

This port was not only the warships of the Taizhou navy, but also the ordinary fishing boats they collected, all of which were on fire, emitting a huge fire that soared into the sky.

The fire alarmed the defenders of Hecheng, and the defenders dared not not come to rescue. Once the navy was gone, it would be difficult for them to stop the Zhenguo Army from crossing the river. A large number of troops appeared from Hecheng and came to rescue.

"General, General"

"The plan is complete, this fire cannot be put out"

"I know, pick up the equipment, hold back the enemy army, our troops start crossing the river"

Lin Jiang said, the enemy navy's fire is a signal, once the signal is given, Qin Yong will arrange to cross the river, and Lin Jiang and his 500 men are to hold back the enemy as much as possible. The

500 men only brought short blades at the beginning, and now they began to pick up the enemy's equipment, and then lined up, waiting for the enemy's charge.

The enemy arrived soon, and saw the 500 waiting people in the firelight, and quickly surrounded them, and then strangled them.

The war was very cruel, and the troops that were several times larger than the Zhenguo Army repeatedly charged and killed, and people on the Zhenguo Army side also kept dying. Lin Jiang rushed into the enemy formation like crazy, breaking the enemy formation again and again.

"Our general is fighting the enemy, can we just watch? Come on, all officers board the boats, officers take the lead."

On the Zhenguo Army camp, Qin Yong took the lead and jumped into a boat. Under his command, a large number of officers boarded the boats first and charged as the vanguard of death.

The first wave of troops began to cross the river. They were also quickly discovered by the defenders on the other side. The defenders had a large number of archers and began to shoot arrows. Many people were shot and fell into the turbulent river and disappeared.

Seeing that they could not stop it, the defenders ordered people to go to Hecheng for help, but Hecheng did not dare to send anyone out now because the mobile forces had been sent to the navy.

"Kill"

Qin Yong finally landed and led the troops to charge and kill repeatedly on the river bank, while the small boats and rafts returned to the other side to carry more people back.

Xie Yunfeng organized troops to cross the river in the camp. He had been watching the movements on the opposite side. When he saw that no more reinforcements appeared on the opposite side, he knew that this battle was stable.

"The power of the Martial Saint is so terrifying."

Xie Yunfeng took a deep breath. According to his military common sense, this should be a fierce and hard battle, but because of a Martial Saint, this battle has become a very simple matter. There is

no wisdom, no strategy, just recklessness. The commander took 500 people to rush the navy, and the rest of the army rushed across the river. When they reached the other side, the King of Thailand had no chance.
