"Qin Jue proclaimed himself the governor of Jiangnan, who gave him the courage!"
At the capital headquarters, people from Zhao Lao's faction rushed over one after another. Everyone looked angry and excited. They wanted to rush to Jiangcheng and pout Qin Jue on the spot.
"Mr. Zhao, this is Qin Jue openly working against you!"
"I can't bear it! How can I bear this?"
"Even General Wang Bailie was openly detained by Qin Jue. He wants to go against the entire country!"
"Send troops!"
Thousands of words will eventually converge into one sentence.
"Send troops, Mr. Zhao!"
Everyone looked eagerly at the old man in plain clothes.
The old man in plain clothes was silent for a long time and nodded slowly: "Order the First Infantry Brigade, the Third Infantry Brigade, the anti-aircraft missile regiment, and the tank regiment, a total of ten thousand people, to rush to Tiannan Province to suppress the unrest and capture Qin Jue alive!"
Everyone looked overjoyed.
As long as Qin Jue is eliminated, Da Xia will completely become the plaything of Mr. Zhao, and they will all be regarded as ministers of the dragon.
On that day, large-scale legions were dispatched from all provinces in the Central Plains, and the marching direction of all legions was clearly Jiangcheng.
Four regiments and an army of 10,000 people attracted the attention of countless people wherever they passed.
When leaving the Central Plains and arriving in the Yangtze River Basin, each legion encountered a difficult matter.
For some reason, the width of the Yangtze River suddenly increased by hundreds of meters, making it impossible to see the other side of the river at a glance.
The Yangtze River rolls eastward, and the desolate water wind sweeps away the dead grass on the shore.
The chiefs of various legions gathered together and had a heated argument over the issue of not being able to cross the Yangtze River.
One side believes that if they want to reach the south of the Yangtze River quickly, they must cross the Yangtze River.
The other side believes that the current signal loss is due to the slow speed of the old-fashioned steel-armored ship and its weak defense capabilities. If something strange happens during the journey, the soldiers on the ship will be unable to retreat.
"Are our soldiers afraid of strange things?"
"We have not found any weird people taking the initiative to provoke us along the way. This proves that the strong yang energy in the crowd is enough to resist the weird ones at this stage!"
With the order from the top officer, the dispute ended. Everyone returned to their respective units and began to let the soldiers board the boats to cross the river.
The old-fashioned steel-armored ships did not have the various radio equipment and high-tech weapons now, only simple propellers and fuel tanks, and a thick layer of steel armor.
Steel armor can withstand bullets.
But it can't stop the weird pervasiveness.
Finally, when each legion reached the middle position on the surface of the Yangtze River, the screams of soldiers suddenly came from a steel-framed ship.
"Snake! There's a snake!"
A soldier was so scared that he was trembling all over. He hugged the flagpole and did not dare to open his eyes. He pointed at the sea outside the deck with one hand.
"What's wrong!?" An officer came over with a gloomy face: "How could a snake scare you like this? If you want to embarrass yourself later, don't embarrass me here!"
"No, squad leader, there is really a snake, a big snake, right in the river, very big!"
The soldier opened his arms in fear, but felt that it was not big enough, so he simply spread his arms completely. The distance from his left hand to his right hand was at least 1.8 meters.
"It's so thick, no, no, it's thicker than this!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the surrounding soldiers also changed.
How can such a thick snake be called a snake?
Generally speaking, the length of a snake is upwards of thirty times its width. The longest and largest known snake in the world is the anaconda. The largest anaconda can be twelve or thirteen meters long, and there are also legendary anacondas that are seventeen or eighteen meters tall. .
But the width of the anaconda is only forty centimeters at most, which is considered to be the level of a giant. People are like dolls in front of this kind of anaconda.
"Are you sure you saw it? You weren't blinded?"
The officer's scalp instantly went numb and he asked cautiously.
The soldier trembled and nodded. He was not afraid of gods, ghosts, or monsters, but he was only afraid of things like snakes.
"A snake with a width of 1.8 meters must be at least 30 to 40 meters long..." the officer murmured to himself: "Can there be such a big snake in the world?"
Suddenly, another soldier raised his hand cautiously: "Squad leader, my family is from the Yangtze River. There is a legend in our area..."
If things like legends were placed in the past, everyone would just listen to them as anecdotes. But in this era, weird things have emerged, and no matter how bizarre the legend is, we cannot tolerate it.
The officer's eyes were serious: "Say it!"
"Even in our local area, I don't know about other places in the Yangtze River Basin. My family is just a fishing village on the Yangtze River for generations..."
"Pick the key points!"
"Okay!" The soldier in the fishing village trembled and said hurriedly: "We have a local feudal superstition. Every March 3rd, when the Yangtze River thaws and the fishermen go out to the river for the first time in the new year, a similar ceremony will be held in the fishing village. In sacrificial activities, pigs, cattle and mutton are sacrificed to the water master of the long river, so that the fishermen can go out of the river smoothly and return richly."
"Master Shui?" The officer frowned.
"Yes! Every time when there is a sacrifice, the old people in the village will cover Master Shui with a piece of red cloth. It is a stone sculpture. They say it is too lifelike to scare the children. Then the children will be frightened and cry, which will make Master Shui unhappy... ..”
"Can you pick out the key points?"
"Okay! Once I was out of curiosity and secretly opened the red cloth and saw clearly what Mr. Shui looked like. It was a snake. The snakes coiled together were very long and thick. They could be as thick as an adult's thigh. When coiled up, they could be three meters high. If It’s estimated to be more than thirty meters long when unfolded.”
The soldiers in the fishing village told them all at once.
But these words made all the officers and soldiers silent now.
The Master Shui worshiped along the Yangtze River is also a snake?
A snake as thick as an adult's thigh is coiled three meters high and spreads out to a length of thirty meters... What about a snake that is one and eight meters wide?
"Calm down!" Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, the officer quickly shouted: "Don't panic! Even if there is a big snake, can it still withstand the bullet? Return the sniper! Replace with heavy armor penetrating bullets and tranquilizer bullets! If the river There is really a big snake inside, no matter if it attacks or not, just shoot!"
"receive!"
The snipers quickly climbed up the watchtower and replaced them with heavy armor-penetrating bullets as thick as a baby's wrist. Each bullet reflected a strong orange color, which was the god of death for killing giants.
Even a heavily armored tank would have to retreat when encountering such a sniper, let alone a relatively large snake?
"Is everything you said true?" the officer asked in a low voice, "Have you seen that Mr. Shui?"
The soldier from the fishing village also whispered sensibly: "I haven't seen it since I was this old, but the old people in the village believe that Master Shui is the river god of the Yangtze River and can easily sink dozens of fishing boats. "
The officer's eyes became more solemn.
Did he really meet the legendary Master Shui?
The atmosphere was dull, and the soldiers looked nervously at the river.
Suddenly, a loud sound came from the bottom of the heavy cabin.
It was a crashing sound, very dull and loud, like the cabin of a ship hitting an iceberg.
"What's going on!?" the officer growled.
But panic shouts came from the cabin.
"Oops! The cabin is flooded! The cabin is flooded!"
What!
The officer's pupils shrank suddenly.
This ship is a steel-armored ship.
As the name suggests, the entire ship's outer body is made of steel armor. Unless it is bombed by a torpedo, it will not break at all!
"Squad leader, the cabin has been knocked open by Master Shui. It's going to flood us..."
The soldier from the fishing village chanted in a trembling voice.
"It's over, it's over, there really is Master Shui."
"We are all going to be finished."
