"Governor, why don't you let the last general pretend to be a caravan, look around, and make a conclusion after the investigation." Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Renliang spoke first.

"Governor, the lower officials think that they must first understand the purpose of this expedition, and then carry it out in order." Pei Xingjian also followed this time and was appointed as a secretary by Feng Daiwen.

"The last general thinks that since the soldiers on the island are so unbearable, why not attack directly, anyway, no matter what the purpose, they have to fight." Xi Junmai said.

"What do you think of General Lost Thinking?" Feng Daiwen asked again.

"The governor commanded that the last general would be a rough man, and he would do everything according to orders." Stubbornly clasped his fists and said.

Feng Daiwen didn't say whether they were right or wrong, let them understand for themselves, and after interrogating for a while, he said: "Our purpose is two, the first is to capture the prisoners, and the second is to explore the Silver Mountain.

Therefore, starting tomorrow, Xi Junmai, Feng Daihuo, and Liu Renliang will be divided into four teams, each with 3,000 people, do not play flags, scatter and probe along the camp, and find that all the villages are arrested, and no one is allowed to be missed, and the city should not be alarmed first; Others stayed behind to continue building camps. ”

"The last general obeys!" Several people were ordered to go down to select people.

"Brother Feng, the enemy is so weak, why don't you go down in one go, but advance slowly, we are not familiar with it, is this too much of a delay." Waiting for everyone to disperse, Yu Chi Baolin asked.

"Because I don't want to startle the snakes, if they know that it is the Tang Dynasty attack, they will inevitably unite, which will increase unnecessary casualties, and catch some people first, not only can we understand the enemy's situation, but also increase a lot of labor to build a camp." Feng Daiwen patiently explained.

"Oh, I see, Brother Feng is amazing!" Yu Chi Baolin said admiringly.

"Haha, there, there are so many brothers who have come out with them, and they have made great achievements, I always have to think more about them and try my best to bring them back completely." I have to say that it is a very cool thing to have a girl to admire, Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

……

The next day, the heavily armed soldiers had eaten, brought dry rations and set off, until they had telescopes, they could save a lot of work, and the spies in front only needed to find a top of the mountain, and there was no high mountain in a radius of ten miles, it was clear at a glance.

The people of Datang know some carpentry work to some extent, after all, if there is something that needs to be repaired at home, there is no need to hire someone, and it always costs money to hire someone.

The rattan soldiers are all Lingnan soldiers, very accustomed to the tropical jungle, and are arranged to go out to clear the surrounding mountains and forests, whether it is poisonous snakes or beasts, they are all killed, and the people behind them can cut down trees with confidence.

To build a settlement, it is not possible to have fewer trees, and now there are not so many craftsmen to burn bricks and tiles, and the construction of the dock is the most important thing.

Huge trees were dragged into the sea, built into pontoons, connected to the boats, and began to unload the supplies on board.

The nearest hill to the sea began to be quarried, and the quarryed boulders were placed on logs, transported to the sea, and slowly built up, and all the stones were used to pave a road to the bottom of the mountain.

Trees are easy to cut, the special thick-backed machete, it doesn't take much effort to put down one, thousands of people, cut down trees, cut trees for half a day, and pile up, leaving hundreds of people to continue cutting, and everyone else goes to help with the most difficult quarrying.

Quarrying needs to use large and small steel fibers, insert stones, beat them with hammers, and slowly get to a boulder, fortunately, Feng Daiwen has already considered it, after all, Liaoning West has experience in building wharves, and steel fibers have been built a lot, enough for tens of thousands of people.

For several days, the camp was already decent, although there were only a few dozen wooden houses, the pier had extended dozens of meters to the sea, and the small boats had been able to dock directly, and the largest ship had to extend at least 100 meters before it could dock directly.

Every day, the captives were returned to the expedition, and after interrogation, they were thrown directly into the quarries to do hard labor.

On the seventh day, all four teams returned to the camp, only a few unlucky ones were slightly injured, and all of them fell, as for the beasts, in front of the large group of people, they had long been reduced to food, and in October, the weather was neither hot nor cold, and many poisonous insects and poisonous snakes had begun to hibernate, so it could be said that it was the best time to march in the jungle.

This time, the army was dispatched for seven days, not only did it capture 3,000 prisoners, but it can be said that there were no chickens and dogs left within a radius of dozens of miles, just like a ghost domain.

"Governor, Shimane Castle has been clarified, it covers an area of only a few miles, and the city walls are only a few feet high. If you want to attack, it can be said that it is not a matter of effort. Liu Renliang hadn't caught a battle for a long time, and when he went out for a few days, he came back and said excitedly, eager to take people to attack immediately.

"Hehe, it's hard work, but I'm afraid you have to go back to Datang, first, to transport food and materials, as well as craftsmen, and second, to bring the news back." Feng Daiwen poured a cup of tea for Liu Renliang and said.

"Hehe, thank you, the last general still likes the sea, and he will leave for him tomorrow." Liu Renliang took the tea gratefully and said with thanks.

After all, Feng Daiwen has been reused for him from the beginning, although this is also because Li Shimin has not realized that the navy in Feng Daiwen's hands is already so powerful, and now there are more than 20,000 people under Zhang Liang, the head of the navy, who have been stationed in Quanzhou, and he has to support himself in Tuntian.

Although the Lingnan ship is larger than Zhang Liang's hand, it has always been transporting goods to Li Shimin, fishing in Liaoxi, and it is normal for cargo ships to be larger, and because the ships are large, they are generally only equipped with eight-ox crossbows, and they are not as many weapons as Zhang Liang's warships, so Li Shimin really did not pay attention to them.

……

Liu Renliang returned to the Tang Dynasty without mentioning it, and found out Shimagen City, Feng Daiwen did not hesitate, the soldiers rested for a day, and then ordered Feng Daihuo and Xi Junmai to set off first, and began to rush over to monitor them.

Feng Daiwen left 500 soldiers to guard the prisoners and work, and he took all the rest of the people and followed him to Shimane Castle.

In the second year of Zhenguan, Feng Daiwen led more than 20,000 soldiers to surround Shimane Castle, and craftsmen began to take the people to make siege ladders.

At this time, Shimane Castle, the lord of the castle was shocked by Ma Yazi and convened his staff to discuss countermeasures.

"Have you found out how many people are out there? Is it really the Tang Army? He asked with a pale face.

"Yes, it's the Tang Dynasty, according to, it is said that there are twenty or thirty thousand people, saying that if they don't surrender, they will all be killed." A Wenchen said with chatter teeth.

"The city lord can rest assured, they only have a maximum of 30,000 people, we still have more than 30,000 soldiers, we are organizing the people, there will definitely be no problem in defense, Datang has come from afar, there must be no extra food, as long as they hold on for a while, they will naturally retreat." A man in armor who looked like a general carefully analyzed Tsushima's teeth.

The words are good, the analysis is also in place, and it is very correct, and he immediately felt much more relaxed to Ma Yazi, and said to the general: "Everything is entrusted to General Mayu Watanabe." ”
