The scout captain on the side looked at the falconer with a sudden change of expression, looking puzzled, "What happened? Didn't you say you could communicate with the Xinying? So what did the Xinying tell you?"
"Xinying said: 'There is no place to fall.'" The falconer looked at the scout captain solemnly, and the scout captain stopped laughing immediately.
"Are you sure?" The scout captain also looked solemn, and then stared at the falconer and asked.
"I may not be able to guarantee anything else, but I really understand this sentence." The falconer said to the scout captain very solemnly.
"Follow me to report to General Chen, and you also come with me." The scout captain said immediately. This is not a trivial matter. Even if there may be a false alarm, Chen Chi must be notified for decision-making.
Xun Yingren and the scout captain came to the government office, but found that Chen Chi was not at the government office.
"Where is General Chen?" the scout captain asked the officer beside him anxiously.
"I went on an inspection tour outside the city. The rains during this year's rainy season have been severe, so General Chen organized manpower to reinforce the dam." The yamen officer explained casually.
Originally, if ordinary people asked, the government officials would not tell them even if they knew about it. But if the scout captain, who was in charge of the enemy's movements, asked, he couldn't pretend to be dead. Who knows if there was some military intelligence.
"The dam in the west or the north?" the scout captain asked with some urgency. Even though he had sent three groups of people to explore the mouth of the Ganges River, the news was so big that the scout captain thought he couldn't carry it. ah!
"Northern embankment." The government officer also suppressed his smile at this time, as if something had happened, so he pointed to one of his subordinates and said, "Gouzi, take Brother Miao to the embankment quickly."
"Okay." The young man called Gouzi came over with a long gun, greeted the scout captain twice, and then the three of them quickly ran towards the northern embankment.
The rainfall in the Ganges River rainy season this year was quite outrageous. In order to avoid disaster, Chen Chi led people to reinforce the horizontal embankment in the north.
Speaking of which, Samoyu Zha can be regarded as the rear base that the Han Dynasty has operated for many years. The construction in all aspects is also complete. It has always been at the rear of the Han army. After Zhou Yu annihilated Sailian, the Kushan soldiers captured by the Han army, In order to avoid turmoil, they are all sent here.
Compared with the possible accidents on the front line, Samajima Zha in the rear area has remained stable for so many years. With the efforts of Chen Chi, he successfully surrendered batches of Kushan prisoners. Some of these prisoners They joined the Han army as second-line personnel, and some gave up continuing to participate in the war and lived in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges as ordinary people, providing logistical support for the Han army.
However, due to their loyalty, most captives basically have an observation period calculated on a yearly basis. Under this observation, most captives are poor performers. And these poor performers, after so many years, The accumulation of money has already accumulated two to three hundred thousand in the area of Samadhi.
Of course, it doesn't mean that these poor-performing prisoners are not stable or anything. After all, facing Chen Chi's nearly 10,000 regular troops, there was basically no trouble without the management getting out of control.
It just means that these captives failed to pass the education of the Han Dynasty and became the spreaders of the glory of the Han Dynasty. For stability reasons, Chen Chi did not allow them to pass.
As for the overall combat effectiveness, it is true that these 200,000 to 300,000 Kushan captives cannot defeat Chen Chi’s nearly 10,000 regular troops. In fact, among the 200,000 to 300,000 Kushan captives, those with a double talent level may be more powerful than They are twice as fast as the total strength of 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 of Baloyaga not long ago, if it were not for the captives at the Guards level who had other arrangements, the Guards-level prisoners here would The prisoners might be able to form an organized army.
If there is really a turmoil, it won't be a problem for these people to join forces to capture Samajima, but the problem is that the snake can't do it without a head, and the organizational structure of these people was destroyed bit by bit by Chen Chi in the process of being captured. , the soldiers who instigated the prisoners to unrest were all annihilated by Chen Chi one by one during fishing trips. Now these prisoners at least seem to be docile.
Even if these people still did not pass Chen Chi's observation, these people indeed had no resistance when facing Chen Chi.
When the scout captain Miao Yan arrived, Chen Chi was organizing the reinforcement of the river embankment. The Samohe Zha area was built little by little. Chen Chi was a typical example of a person who was willing to be civil and military, and he was not bad at all, so he has been Sit in Samadhi.
"What happened?" Chen Chi frowned and looked at Miao Yan and said. As the governor of a border county, one of the several lower-level bureaucrats he must know is the scout captain, because whenever he suddenly appears, it means An unfortunate news was delivered.
On the other hand, although this person is delivering unfortunate news, early preparation can really save a life. However, since Chen Chi took charge of Samadhi, he has never encountered an emergency.
"The trust eagle from Jiangdong came here for no reason. After the falcon tamer and the trust eagle communicated, it was determined that the trust eagle had lost its home and had no whereabouts, so it flew back." Miao Yan carefully explained the cause and effect without mentioning anything. Any own judgment.
Chen Chi was stunned for a moment, then turned gloomy and said, "How is this possible!"
Even if the ship where Xin Ying was squatting sank and there were other ships around, just change to another one. As long as there was still a falcon tamer, he would be able to call it down. But now the answer is that there is no whereabouts?
Chen Chi simply did not dare to think about the possibility of this. At present, the Han army at the mouth of the Ganges River and the Bay of Bengal has docked more than 70% of the country's main force, and the remaining 30% is stationed in the Malacca area. As a defensive fleet.
What's more important is that almost all the seventh-generation ships of the Han Dynasty are currently near the mouth of the Ganges River. There is no place to land? In other words, the ship has sunk, what a joke!
Chen Chi didn't dare to think about what this meant, or more directly, what he should do now if this really happened.
"General Zhong, you are here to watch. I will come back as soon as I go." Although Chen Chi was stunned by the news, he quickly adjusted himself and turned around and said to Wei Dan, who was assisting him.
Wei Dan was the friend of Zhong Yao mentioned before. He showed Zhong Yao the manuscript of Cai Bozhe. Zhong Yao always wanted it, but Wei Dan refused to give it to him. Before he died, Zhong Yao said that he was almost finished. Give it to me, Wei Dan said that I will take this to the grave.
Zhong Yao said that I had remembered it. When you were buried, I would dig the grave. Then when Wei Dan was buried, Zhong Yao really went to dig the grave, and then took the 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 early manuscript of Cai Yong's Xiping Stone Classic is still in Wei Dan's hands. Zhong Yao is actually looking for it, but he is still looking for it. I haven't found Wei Dan here yet.
Of course, for now, Zhong Yao and Wei Dan are not good friends. After Wei Dan shows the genuine book, Zhong Yao will quickly become Wei Dan's good friend.
However, in this life, Zhong Yao's search for Cai Yong's manuscripts was too loud and exposed too early. A person like Wei Dan, who can say "if I lend it to you, you won't come back" in official history, will of course be more cautious. for safekeeping of this manuscript.
"You go take care of things over there first, and leave it to me here." Wei Dan said calmly.
Chen Chi left quickly. Although this was just a guess based on Xinying's current situation, when he considered this possibility, Chen Chi felt a sudden rush in his heart because this possibility was too dangerous.
"Have you sent anyone to investigate?" Chen Chi asked Miao Yan as he walked away.
"I sent out all the seven scout teams reserved in the city, and mobilized several detachments with less heavy tasks here to rush to the mouth of the Ganges River." Miao Yan quickly replied, "This way We also tried to send a reconnaissance eagle, but this thing is not well tamed and cannot detect accurate information, and so far we have not received relevant information.”
The Han Dynasty's falconry technology came from the Xiongnu, but it was not truly passed down. The technology of trusting eagles was okay, but the ability of scout eagles to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy was somewhat lacking.
The Xiongnu reconnaissance eagles captured in the early years were okay, but Chen Chi didn't have those things here. How could Chen Chi prepare such high-end equipment for a large rear area.
"Do you think it's the Kushan navy that's coming, or something happened to Xinying?" Chen Chi suddenly looked at Miao Yan and asked, this question is intriguing.
Cold sweat broke out on Miao Yan's forehead, but after a while, Miao Yan still said, "Regardless of whether it is true or false, we must inform the front line. After all, Taiwei and Chen Hou are also on the front line now. If there is a problem in the rear, we must Consider the situation of Taiwei and Chenhou."
Chen Chi nodded, "Activate the wired telegraph and notify the Zhong Shangshu of Huashi City, and inform him of all the details. Although it is an uncertain situation, but..."
Chen Chi didn't say anything else, but Miao Yan knew very well that since Liu Bei and Chen Xi were not here, they could still delay 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 Bear quickly left and ordered his men to notify Hua's City and let Zhong Yao make a judgment.
However, before Miao Yan and Chen Chi could go back, a scout had already informed Chen Chi with information from Huashi City - a great victory on the front line, Guan Yu killed Altay, defeated the Kushan front, and crossed the floodplain area in a small boat. , led the main cavalry up the river and headed towards Qunv City. After the remaining infantry captured the prisoners, they rested on the spot and prepared to collectively attack Kushan.
"Hahaha, great victory on all fronts, the death of Vesuthiva I has come!" Chen Chi shouted with great excitement, Altay is dead, Guan Yu has gone to pursue Vesuthiva I, victory is in front of him, after waiting for so many years , the wait is finally here.
"Are you still sending it?" Miao Yan looked at Chen Chi and asked after waiting for Chen Chi to finish yelling.
Chen Chi was silent for a while, then looked at the information again, pinched 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 a mistake. verify."
In Chen Chi's view, this is the moment of decisive victory for the Han army. The intelligence on his side has not yet been completely determined. What if it is a false alarm? Doesn't this affect the situation on the front line? Just wait a little longer and make sure. It won't be too late when it's really confirmed.
With this idea in mind, Chen Chi decided to wait a little longer and wait until his own scouts confirmed the information about the mouth of the Ganges before notifying him. After all, misreporting such a big matter would cause big problems.
At the same time, Mengcombu used cloud gas to solidify the road on his flagship, consuming a huge amount of cloud gas stored in the flagship to forcefully lift the flagship into the Ganges waterway. This method consumes a huge amount of cloud gas, even if the cloud gas reserves of the entire fleet are exceeded. Don't stay too long.
But for Mengkangbu, he doesn’t need to hold on for too long. After passing the deep water area, it’s less than 100 kilometers away. He wants to capture the Samadhi. Only by defeating the Samadhi, what he did before The plan can be realized one by one.
There is only one way to defeat the Samadhija, which has been run by the Han Dynasty for several years, and that is to use naval guns and conventional army siege warfare. Even if Mengkangbu can serve as the army commander, facing the Samadhija It is impossible to capture a fortified city in a short time.
Therefore, Mengkangbu chose the same method as Zhou Yu, directly sailing the seventh-generation ship into the inland river, and then bombarded the cities close to the river. No matter how well-built Sama and Zha were, they could not withstand it.
By the way, such a plan can be carried out, thanks to the fact that Samadhi is very close to the mouth of the Ganges River. If it were further away, Mengkangbu really had no other solution, even if Mengkangbu knew that Zhou Yu was directly taking him with him in a seventh-generation ship. An entire fleet rushed into the Ganges, and even rushed to the middle and upper reaches of the Ganges, but even Moncomb could not imitate this behavior.
Even if Meng Kangbu knew that Zhou Yu might have used the same secret technique, in theory, this secret technique could only travel more than a hundred kilometers if an entire fleet supported a seventh-generation flagship.
What's more, the higher the Ganges River goes up, the shallower the water, the greater the possibility of hitting the bottom, and the more cloud gas is consumed to continue moving forward. Mengkangbu can't imagine how much cloud gas Zhou Yu needs to reserve to reach Qunu City. It's simply unreasonable.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Zhou Yu was the leader, Meng Kangbu would never have believed in such an outrageous plan. But since Zhou Yu was personally leading the team, to be honest, apart from Qu Nu City, Meng Kangbu couldn't think of anything else worth it. Zhou Yu went to fight.
Altay? Forget it, one shot, even with a camp and special etching secrets, is enough to destroy it. A main warship that can enter the river is really outrageous.
Meng Combo can't understand it at all, and it's really impossible to do it, but you can't imitate everything. Men Combo can still imitate part of it. I will drive the seventh-generation ship near Samo Xizha, as long as the main gun can hit it, it will be fine. All it takes is one shot to blow up the city wall, and the rest will be taken care of naturally.
With this idea in mind, Mengcombe frantically consumed the cloud gas reserves. You must know that the cloud gas reserves are the basis for fleet protection. It is obvious that Mengcombe is risking his life!
Run away, run away, it’s the end of the month, those who have votes will vote.
