Chapter 73 Departure

As Wu Jieheng said before, whenever the cold front passes through the border, it always makes strong winds and rains. At this time, the sea becomes particularly violent. The huge waves several feet high with the sharp whistling of the north wind, swallowing everything on the sea. Even if people stand on the shore, they will tremble and tremble the huge waves hit the coast with the terrifying power of rocks and rocks.

On the Jiachen day of February, it was raining heavily in Langya. The rain seemed to pour down from the sky and splashed on the roof of the ancestral temple. Xiong Jing was worshiping the ancestors under the curtain, asking them to bless this cross-sea expedition. The noisy sound of rain made people unable to hear his chanting. Fortunately, the sacrifices were all customized, and the skilled witches cooperated with the sacrifices, without any mistakes.

On the sea, the Zhuque, the eyes of several pairs of eyes, should pay attention to the barometer erected in the stern building every once in a while. When the cold front passes, the air pressure will first drop and then rise, and the air pressure will return to normal after the transit is completely. They hope that the air pressure can return to normal as soon as possible. Once it returns to normal, the Ying Division can set off and head to Bailing Island 1,200 miles away.

"It seems to have risen..." It rained heavily and the stern was dark. It was necessary to see the mercury in the glass tube clearly. At this time, the mercury was no longer at the position of 71 mm, but rose to 73 mm, which means that the cyclone was gone and the weather gradually returned to normal.

"It has indeed been raised." The second phase of interns were constantly checking the pressure gauge. Wu Jieheng who received the report had to read it personally before he could rest assured. Captain Hong Mou also followed him, and Wu Jieheng said: "Leng Feng has passed, you can return to Langya."

"Has the cold front passed?" Hong Mou also glanced at the pressure gauge, but his tone was not sure.

"Origin." As the Wu Jie spoke, the waves hit the port side of the Zhuque again, and the waves splashed onto the deck. "You can return to Langya."

The waters where the Zhuque is located are not far from Langya Port, but under the strong wind and waves, it was still the next morning when the wind was sailing into the bay. At this time, the heavy rain had already stopped, and people in the port were repairing the roof. No one knew when the bad weather would end. Since the rain stopped, we must hurry up and repair the roof.

As soon as the Suzaku entered Hong Kong, Xiong Jing knew about it. As soon as he saw Wu Jieheng who was visiting him, he said, "Has Leng Feng passed?"

"Report to the king, Leng Feng has passed." Wu Jie bowed. He knew that time was already very tight and the army was waiting for Leng Feng to pass through.

"Is it possible to have another cold front?" Without a satellite cloud map weather forecast, Xiong Jing was worried that his soldiers would be swept away by the huge waves.

"Report to the king, I don't know." Wu Jieheng was not surprised by Xiong Jing's problem. There are many cold fronts in winter. According to the textbook, cold fronts are generated on the north west coast of the blue ocean and the north east coast of the green ocean, with the most winters. "I think February is approaching spring, and cold fronts should not occur frequently."

"So what if you set it off? The warship is not freeboard, nor is it as strong as the sea boat." Xiong Jing was a little hesitant. Although this was not an Incheon landing, crossing the Yellow Sea in the cold February weather was really an adventure.

"If this is true, the Grand Master's Life will protect you." Wu Jieheng's piety towards the gods was better than Xiong Jing, who had distracting thoughts. When he heard that he said "Da Master's Life will protect you" in a very peaceful manner, Xiong Jing was stunned. He once again remembered that the route across the Yellow Sea was opened in the Tang and Song dynasties. It was natural that the ancients could use this as a route. In addition, the army's combat was not foolproof, and the manpower could not match the sky. If he really wanted to meet Leng Feng again, he could only "Da Master's Life will protect you".

"I've dug it last night, it's auspicious." The army Sima Zhuang knew Xiong Jing's hesitation without knowing him, so he expressed his opinion.

"King, there is not much time left, so you can't delay any more." Deng Sui also said, he has been calculating the time.

"King..." Several division commanders and cavalry general Gui Jing also looked at Xiong Jing.

"Tele the whole army," Xiong Jing took a breath and said, "Start when the tide is rising."

It seemed that he had been waiting for this moment for too long. King Xiong Jing ordered him to say loudly, "I respectfully accept the order!" After saying that, the generals retreated. At this time, it was only more than four hours before the rise of the tide. If it was too late, he could only set out at night, which was very inconvenient.

The Yellow Sea is a half-day tide. The half-day tide means two tides rise twice a day, each time is about twelve hours apart. Due to the influence of the terrain and the earth's deflection force, the tide difference in this season is still two meters. The Ying Division has four divisions, plus only 30,000 cavalrymen, plus the number of children and transportation capacity workers is nearly 40,000. There are more than 200 boats for 40,000 people, and most of these boats dock in Langya Bay and Ligen Bay. Departing at high tides can prevent boats from hitting the reefs.

After a month of targeted training, the divisions were still a little panicked after the orders issued. The sergeant commander, honorary soldiers, even soldiers had to repeatedly remind the soldiers to avoid too many mistakes. However, what was really panicked was the cavalry. More than 4,000 war horses had to be loaded on the warship, which was a arduous task. The cold front had gone, the waves were still surging, and some warship horses were allowed to be beaten by the children, and they would never get on the warship.

There was no choice but to carry the horses on the boat, and even use a crane to lift the horses on the boat. Fortunately, not all horses are like this. After some stubborn horses were lifted up, more horses climbed the boats one after another, crowded into the temporary stables in the middle of the big wing warship. It was busy until the tide in the afternoon that more than 4,000 war horses finally boarded the boats.

"Please ask the King to take a boat in Shanghai." Xiong Jing did not wear fox fur. Like ordinary soldiers, he wore a frog jacket and only wore a blood-red Wei Ban suit outside. The sword was no longer delicate, but a standard king's sword, more than five feet long. When he walked out of his slept, a group of ministers invited him to the Vermilion Bird instead of the Shi-wing warship.

"Is it a woman who is not honest?" Xiong Jing looked at the minister who was calling him and smiled without anger.

"The king is the king of a country, how can he be in danger?" The right Shishi was helpless, and he knew that Xiong Jing wanted to share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers.

"It's not once to be in a dangerous place." Xiong Jing still smiled. "Youshi has also been in a dangerous place, why are you afraid of?"

"But this is the sea..." Xiong Jing had already passed through the gap between his ministers and walked down the stairs. Youshi and others could only catch up.

"So what about the sea?" The main hall was more than 100 feet high, and you could see the sea in the distance when standing on the steps. "I have strange skills. But..." Xiong Jing remembered that these ministers seemed to know how to swim, "You can wait for the Shanghai boat."

"How can I do this?" The kings all went to the warships of the Jail Wings, so the ministers had to follow them.

"Report to the king, my master has boarded the boat." Several commanders on the pier were waiting for a long time, and when they saw Xiong Jing, they bowed.

"Report to the king, my master has also boarded the boat." Several people from the prison followed him. Xiong Jing nodded and finally looked at Gui Jing.

"Report to the king, all the knights and horses have boarded the boat." Gui Jing bowed and told.

Xiong Jing nodded to Guijing, then looked at the neatly arranged warships in the bay. The soldiers of Ying army on the warships stood upright, looking at him, waiting for the order to set off.

"Taiyi blesses, Grand Sima blesses." Xiong Jing couldn't help but pray. After praying, he waved his hand and said, "Go!"

‘Dong...dong...dong...dong...dong...dong...dong...', the military flag was flying, and the drums on the pier were ringing slowly and heavily. The witch danced Nuo dance to drive away ghosts and pray for the army. The sharp sword light flashed, and blood splattered around the neck of the cattle to worship Yu, the god of the East China Sea?

"There are political powers and kings in all directions. The orders are in heaven. The world is in power and the world is full of light. Our flag is strong and the drums are strong. The white energy passes through the sky and promotes the magical martial arts..." As the ancient chanting of the witch, Xiong Jing boarded the Jail Wing Warship surrounded by his ministers. At this time, the orders set out had spread throughout the army. One warship after another took advantage of the tide and sailed out of the bay and headed towards the sea in accordance with the established order.

The waves are still surging, and the undulating tides are very uncomfortable. The warships are only two meters freeboard. Whenever the waves hit, the waves will splash onto the deck and into the boat cabins under the deck. For this reason, the soldiers are wearing a straw raincoat that blocks the waves. Even if they are directly splashed by the waves, half of their bodies will be wet. People are like this, and the war horses on the deck of the warships are uneasy. They are not used to the shaking of the warships and begin to neigh and riot, so the children have to enter the stable to comfort them.
