Chapter 4230: scouting again

The scout captain on the side looked at the falconer with a sudden change of expression, "What happened, didn't you say you could communicate with Xinying? What did Xinying tell you?"

"Xinying said: 'There is no place to fall'." The eagle trainer looked at the scout captain solemnly, and the scout captain stopped smiling immediately.

"Are you sure?" The scout captain also looked solemn, and then asked the falconer.

"Others may not be guaranteed, but I really understand this sentence." The eagle trainer said to the scout captain very solemnly.

"Follow me to report to General Chen, and you come with me." The scout captain said immediately, this is not a trivial matter, even if there may be a false report, Chen Chi must be notified for a decision.

The Xunying people and the scout captain came to the mansion, but found that Chen Chi was not there.

"Where's General Chen?" The scout captain asked eagerly to the servants beside him.

"I went to inspect the outside of the city. The rains in this year's rainy season are a bit severe. General Chen organized people to strengthen the dam." The yamen servant explained casually.

Originally, if ordinary people asked, the yamen servants would not tell even if they knew about it, but if the scout captain who was in charge of the enemy's movements asked, then he couldn't pretend to be dead, and who knew if there was any military intelligence.

"The embankment on the west, or the north?" The scout captain asked urgently. Even though he had sent three groups of people to investigate the Ganges estuary, the news was too big. The scout captain wondered if he couldn't remember it. ah!

"Northern embankment." The yamen servant also restrained his smile at this time, as if something had happened, so he pointed to a yamen servant under his command and said, "God, take Brother Miao to the embankment."

"Okay." The young man called Gouzi came over with a spear, greeted the scout captain twice, and then the three of them quickly ran to the northern embankment.

The rainfall in the rainy season of the Ganges River this year was outrageous, and Chen Chi took people to strengthen the northern horizontal embankment with the idea of ​​avoiding disasters.

Speaking of it, Sanmo and Zha can be regarded as the rear base that the Han Dynasty has operated for many years, and the construction in all aspects is also considered complete. It has always been in the rear of the Han army. In order to avoid turmoil, they are all sent here.

Compared with the possible accidents on the front line, Samo and Zha, who are in the rear, have remained stable for so many years. With Chen Chi's efforts, they have successfully recruited batch after batch of Guishuang prisoners. Joined the Han army as second-line personnel, and some gave up and continued to fight, living as ordinary people in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River, providing support for the Han army's logistics.

However, due to the limitation of loyalty, most captives basically have an observation period calculated on an annual basis. Under this kind of observation, most captives are under-performing, and these under-performing captives, after so many years Two to three hundred thousand have been hoarded near Samo and Zha.

Of course, it doesn't mean that these poorly behaved captives are not very stable. After all, facing Chen Chi's nearly ten thousand full-armed regular army, there were basically no troubles under the condition that the management was not out of control.

It's just that these captives failed to pass the education of the Han Dynasty and became the disseminators of the glory of the Han Dynasty. For the sake of stability, Chen Chi refused to pass it.

As for the overall combat effectiveness, it is really not the 200,000 to 300,000 Guishuang prisoners who can't beat Chen Chi's nearly 10,000 regular army. Both are twice as fast as the total force under Chen Chi's command.

After all, these soldiers have been captured little by little over the years, from the time of Rahul to the prisoners who passed through the Baru Yega not long ago. If the prisoners of the Imperial Guard level had other arrangements, the Imperial Guard level The captives may be able to make up a whole regiment.

If there is real chaos, it is not a problem for these people to join forces to capture Samo and Zha, but the problem is that the snake has no head, and the organizational structure of these people was destroyed by Chen Chi little by little during the process of being captives. The soldiers who fanned the captives into turmoil were all annihilated by Chen Chi one by one in the fishing again and again. Now these captives at least seem to be docile.

Even though these people still did not pass Chen Chi's observation, these people really did not have any resistance when facing Chen Chi.

When the scout captain Miao Ran came, Chen Chi was organizing to reinforce the embankment, and the Sanma and Zha side was built up little by little. Sitting in Sanmo and Zha.

"What happened?" Chen Chi frowned and looked at Miao Ran and said, as the sheriff of the border county, one of the few lower-level bureaucrats he must know is the scout captain, because whenever he suddenly appears, it represents An unfortunate message came.

On the other hand, although this person was delivering the unfortunate news, early precautions could really save a life. However, since Chen Chi took charge of Samoyezha, he had never encountered an emergency.

"Xinying from the Jiangdong side flew here for no reason. After the falcon trainer communicated with Xinying, it was confirmed that Xinying had lost its place and had nowhere to go, so it flew back." Miao Ran carefully explained the cause and effect without mentioning anything. any own judgment.

Chen Chi was taken aback for a moment, then his expression darkened, "How is this possible!"

Even if the boat that Xinying was squatting on sank, and there were other boats, just change to another one. As long as there is still an eagle trainer, he can be called down naturally, but now the reply is that there is no whereabouts?

Chen Chi didn't dare to think about the possibility of this at all. At present, the Han army has docked more than 70% of the main force of the entire country in the Ganges estuary and the Bay of Bengal, and the remaining 30% are stationed in the Malacca area. As a defensive fleet.

More importantly, almost all the seventh-generation warships of the Han Dynasty are currently near the mouth of the Ganges River. In other words, the ship is sinking, what a joke!

Chen Chi didn't dare to think about what this meant, or more directly, what he should do now if this happened.

"You stay here, General Zhong, and I'll go back as soon as I go." Although Chen Chi was stunned by the news, he quickly adjusted and turned around and said to Wei Dan who was assisting him.

Wei Dan is the friend of Zhong Yao mentioned earlier, and he showed Zhong Yao the original manuscript of Cai Bojie. Zhong Yao wanted it all the time, but Wei Dan refused to give it to him. Give it to me, Wei Dan said that I would take this to the grave.

Zhong Yao said that I will remember, when you are buried, I will dig the grave, and when Wei Dan is buried, Zhong Yao will really dig the grave, and then take the original manuscript away.

By the way, Zhong Yao has collected more than 99% of Cai Yong's original manuscripts in the world, but Wei Dan's original manuscript of Cai Yong's engraving of the Xiping Stone Classic in his early years is still in Wei Dan's hands. Zhong Yao is actually looking for it, but at present We haven't found Wei Dan yet.

Of course, for now, Zhong Yao and Wei Dan are not good friends. After Wei Dan shows the authentic copy, Zhong Yao will quickly become Wei Dan's friend.

However, in this life, Zhong Yao's search for Cai Yong's manuscripts was too much, and it was exposed too early. People like Wei Dan who can say "I will not come back if I lend it to you" in official history, of course, will be more cautious. keep this manuscript.

"Go and deal with the matter over there first, and leave it to me." Wei Dan said calmly.

Chen Chi left quickly, although this was just a guess made based on Xinying's current situation, but when considering this possibility, Chen Chi's heart was agitated, because this possibility was too dangerous.

"Did you send someone to investigate?" Chen Chi asked Miao Ran as he walked.

"I sent out the seven scout teams reserved in the city, and mobilized a few detachments with less heavy tasks here to rush to the mouth of the Ganges River." Miao Ran quickly replied, "This side We also tried to send a scout eagle, but the domestication of this thing is not in place, and we cannot ascertain accurate information, and we have not received relevant news so far.”

The falcon training technology of the Han Dynasty came from the Xiongnu, but it has not been passed down. The falconry technology is not bad, but the ability of the reconnaissance falcon to distinguish between enemy and friend is somewhat lacking.

The Xiongnu scout eagles that were captured in the early years were okay, but Chen Chi didn’t have those things here. How could Chen Chi prepare such high-end things with a big rear.

"Do you think Guishuang's navy is here, or is Xinying in an accident?" Chen Chi suddenly looked at Miao Ran and asked, this question is intriguing.

Cold sweat came out on Miao Ran's forehead, but after a while, Miao Ran still said, "Regardless of whether it is true or not, the front line must be notified. After all, the Taiwei and Chen Hou are also on the front line now. If there is a real problem in the rear, we must notify the front line." Consider the situation of Taiwei and Chenhou."

Chen Chi nodded, "Activate the wired telegram, notify Zhong Shangshu of Fahrenheit City, and tell him all the details. Although it is an uncertain situation, but..."

Chen Chi didn't say anything later, but Miao Ran was very clear about it. Liu Bei and Chen Xi were not there, so they could procrastinate and investigate carefully to make sure, but now that Liu Bei and Chen Xi were in front, Chen Chi couldn't afford to gamble.

Miao Ran left quickly, and ordered his subordinates to notify Fahrenheit City, and let Zhong Yao make a judgment.

However, before Miao Ran and Chen Chi could go back, scouts brought information from Fahrenheit City to Chen Chi. Lead the main cavalry up the river and go straight to Qunu City. After the remaining infantry capture the prisoners, they rest on the spot and prepare for the collective attack on Guishuang.

"Hahaha, a big victory across the board, Wei Sudeep I's death is coming!" Chen Chi shouted with great excitement, Altay is dead, Guan Yu is going to chase Wei Sudepo I, victory is at hand, after waiting for so many years , finally waited.

"Are you still posting?" Miao Ran asked after Chen Chi finished yelling, looking at Chen Chi.

Chen Chi was silent for a while, then looked at the information again, squeezed it for a long time, and even left a deep mark on the paper, and finally let go, "Wait a little longer, wait until it is confirmed, maybe it was just sent by mistake, and then I will send it again." verify."

From Chen Chi's point of view, this is the decisive moment for the Han army to win. The intelligence on his side has not been fully confirmed. What if it is a false report? Doesn't this affect the situation at the front? Wait a little longer to make sure, it won't be too late when it is really confirmed.

Based on this idea, Chen Chi decided to wait a little longer, and wait until his own scouts confirmed the information on the Ganges estuary before notifying him. After all, for such a big matter, a wrong report would cause big problems.

At the same time, Meng Kangbu rode his flagship to use cloud gas to solidify the road, consuming a huge amount of cloud gas in the flagship reserve to forcibly lift the flagship into the Ganges waterway. This method consumes a huge amount of cloud gas, even if the cloud gas reserve of the entire fleet is top Can't live for too long.

But for Meng Kangbu, he doesn't need to stand for too long. After passing the deep water area, it will be less than 100 kilometers. Plans can only be realized one by one.

And there is only one way to take down Sanmo and Zha, which has been operated by the Han Dynasty for several years, and that is to use naval guns, conventional army siege warfare. It is also impossible to win Fortified City in a short time.

Therefore, Meng Kangbu chose the same method as Zhou Yu, and directly drove the seventh-generation ship into the inland river, and then bombarded the cities close to the river. No matter how well the construction of Samo and Zha was, it was impossible to withstand it.

By the way, such a plan can be implemented, thanks to the fact that Sanma and Zha are very close to the mouth of the Ganges River. If it is farther away, Meng Kangbu really has no good way, even if Meng Kangbu knows that Zhou Yu is directly driving a seventh-generation ship with him. A whole fleet rushed into the Ganges, and even rushed to the middle and upper reaches of the Ganges, but even Mongkham could not imitate this behavior.

Even if Meng Kangbu knew that Zhou Yu might have used the same secret technique, theoretically, this kind of secret technique can only be used for more than a hundred kilometers for an entire fleet to support a seventh-generation flagship.

What's more, the higher the Ganges goes, the shallower the water, the greater the possibility of bottoming out, and the more cloud gas will be consumed to continue moving forward. Meng Kangbu can't imagine how much cloud gas Zhou Yu needs to store in order to reach Qunu City. It doesn't make sense at all.

To be honest, Meng Kangbu would never have believed in such an outrageous plan if it hadn’t been confirmed that Zhou Yu was the leader. Zhou Yu went to fight.

Altay? Forget it, one shot, even with camps and special etching secrets, is enough to destroy it. The main battleship that can enter the river is too outrageous.

Meng Kangbu can't understand it at all, and it's really impossible to do it, but he can't imitate all of them. He can still imitate some of them. I will drive the seventh-generation ship to the vicinity of Sanma and Zha, as long as the main gun can hit it. Yes, it only takes one shot to blow up the city wall, and the rest will be solved naturally.

With this in mind, Meng Kangbu consumed the cloud gas reserve crazily. You must know that the cloud gas reserve is the foundation of the fleet's protection. It is obvious that Meng Kangbu is risking his life!
