Chapter 49: A powerful enemy invades (it is recommended to add hundreds of new updates before updating)

I crossed 170 pounds again and tried 180 pounds directly. It was a little difficult, but I still lifted it.

In the end, Chen Xun stood directly in front of the 250-pound stone lock, the heaviest stone lock in the stone lock area, braced himself, took a deep breath, grabbed the stone lock rod, and lifted it up with force. It was very difficult, but he still succeeded in lifting it.After swaying his body, feeling that it was not at the limit, Chen Xun first swung the stone lock to the lower side of the span, then lifted it up with force, successfully raised it above his head, and supported it.

The stone lock is not a weightlifting bar in later generations. It allows the arms to be stretched out and exerted force. The crossbar in the middle of the stone lock is very short. To lift the stone lock, you can actually only use the strength of one arm, and the other arm is auxiliary.

Therefore, a 250-pound stone lock can become the largest stone lock in the school.

After carefully putting down the stone lock, Chen Xun shook his slightly sore arm, feeling really surprised.

Being able to lift a stone lock weighing 250 kilograms means that one can handle a stone lock weighing two hundred kilograms, which is equivalent to 256 kilograms in later generations.

Imagine that you are an ordinary strong man, grabbing a fat man's belt and swinging him back and forth in the air, sometimes raising it above your head, and sometimes spinning him in circles on your shoulders.

That formation was so shocking!
"Could it be that the horse's elegance equals its strength?" Chen Xun secretly guessed.

But why call it "elegant?"

I was planning to conduct some more tests, such as movement speed, reaction speed, flexibility, etc., but I didn't expect to be interrupted before I started.

What interrupted Chen Xun was a message from Guangzhou.

"The officers and soldiers set out from Panyu. In addition to a hundred warships, they also hired more than 200 other ships to transport infantry..."

The war is coming, and there is no time to test it carefully.

"Start preparing for war!" Following Chen Xun's order, Chenjiazhuang's war machine began to move.

Because the Pearl River Estuary cannot be blocked, large-scale rebel horses thrown into the river will soon be carried away by the turbulent currents. Therefore, Chenjiazhuang cannot affect the waterway route of the officers and soldiers at all, nor can they affect their landing location. They can only wait for news.

On February 21st, for a whole day, officers and soldiers from Guangzhou were boarding the ship, including personnel, supplies, mules and horses, etc. The simple boarding facilities and inefficient command gave Chenjiazhuang another day to prepare.

On February 22, the fleet of officers and soldiers began to sail down the river at a very fast speed. They set off in the morning and arrived at the Daning Salt Farm in the afternoon, and then the fleet stopped.

"Will they land here?" The carrier pigeons flew back one after another, and the information was also passed back, allowing Chen Xun to grasp the movements of the officers and soldiers in a timely manner.

The Daning Salt Farm has a high salt production and is located outside the Pearl River estuary, so the port is large and suitable for docking.

"If we land here, we are still forty miles away from Chenjiazhuang." Everyone gathered around a large square table, and in the middle of the square table was a simple sand table made in a hurry.

No matter how simple the sandbox is, it is more intuitive than the current map.

"On this way, there is only one Mao Mountain that can hide a few people, but this place will definitely become a key exploration site for officers and soldiers." Sun Zheng said, pointing to a small protrusion on the sand table.

"We can't hide anymore, just follow the established battle plan." Chen Xun decided.

"Okay, as long as it is confirmed that the officers and soldiers have landed from the Daning Salt Farm, we will start taking action." Lu Hui said.

"Ke Lei, you can set off with your fleet." Chen Xun ordered: "Remember, your goal is to attract the officers and soldiers' warships, not to fight them."

"Understood." Ke Lei nodded.

After Ke Lei went out, everyone continued to wait in the temporary combat command room.

"Have you prepared enough dry food?" Chen Xun asked Liu Yu worriedly. "Don't worry, Mr. Lang, three days of rations for each person has been distributed to each person." Liu Yu replied.

This time when he went out to fight, Chenjiazhuang did not have a logistics force, so the dry food could only be carried by the soldiers themselves. For this reason, Chen Xun had people prepare a large amount of fried rice.The climate in the south is humid, and food that is too moist has a very short shelf life. Chen Xun can only prepare dry fried rice, which contains diced dried vegetables and dried meat. It tastes worse when eaten dry. Soaking it in hot water before eating will form a thick porridge, which will taste bad. much better.

"Although we plan to win the battle quickly, the war is not under our control and it is still very likely to turn into a war of attrition. Therefore, you should make preparations for the logistics work in advance and be ready to transport food and grass to the front line at any time."

"Understood." Liu Yu responded.

"You don't have anything to do here for the time being, so go and do your work." 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 wasted in the command room.

With one person missing again, the atmosphere in the command room became a little tense.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"The latest information from the front line is that officers and soldiers have begun to disembark."

"Wait a moment." Chen Xun said to everyone.

It is possible that the officers and soldiers will move in separate directions, or that we have to wait until all the officers, soldiers and infantry are ashore before we can determine our main attack direction.

An hour later, two reports of intelligence came from the front line, and it was finally confirmed that the infantry troops had indeed landed from the Daning Salt Farm.

"Let's go." Chen Xun ordered: "I wish you all a triumphant return!"

"My subordinates will definitely return with victory!" Several people stood up together and bowed to Chen Xun.

******
"After leaving the Daning Salt Farm, follow the coast and travel [-] miles southeast to Chenjiazhuang." Dongguan County Magistrate Wang Xu stood next to Guangzhou Military and Horse Supervisor Su Zhi and introduced: "In addition to a mountain called Maoshan along the way, Except for the small hills, everything is flat and flat, and there is no danger to defend."

Dongguan County is a large county, the county magistrate is a seventh-rank official, and the governor is an eighth-rank official. The county magistrate is actually one rank higher than the governor.

However, the governor is a state official who is in charge of the Xiang army in Guangzhou. It is an official position with real power. In addition, the governor Su Zhi is the top commander of the officers and soldiers in the siege of Chenjiazhuang. Therefore, the Dongguan County magistrate did not dare to entrust the magistrate. He only wanted to Please do a good job of "guiding" this time with due diligence and resolve this trouble as soon as possible.

Le Zhi was supposed to be the "guide", but Le Zhi was killed by thieves a few days ago. The county magistrate's participation in this matter was too small, so Wang Xu could only go into battle personally.

"There is nothing to fear in the small Chenjiazhuang. Once the army arrives, it will be wiped out." There has not been a large-scale war in Guangzhou for many years, and it has never happened since Su Zhi took office. Usually there are single-digit criminal gangs, but this time all of a sudden Commanding such a large-scale war made him very high-spirited.

"There is a thief in Xiaozhuangzi. If Su Dujian leads the army there, he will be successful." Everyone carried the sedan chair, and Wang Xu followed Su Zhi's words and praised him.

"I heard that the Chen clan bandits colluded with the pirates. The pirates were quite well equipped, including bed crossbows and catapults. But this time I borrowed ten large god-arm crossbows and ten medium-sized god-arm crossbows from the imperial army. You can catch them off guard." Su Zhi still has certain abilities to be able to sit in the position of governor.

Just based on Wang's guess, he borrowed the Divine Arm Crossbow from the Forbidden Army, which was quite courageous.

　Thank you to the book friends who have insisted on voting for recommendations during this period of time. You have given me the motivation to persevere. I will not let you down. I will definitely write seriously and finish this book.
