Chapter Forty-Nine: Intelligence Begins to Show Its Might

"Hey, Scarface, where did you get so many powerful crossbows?" Xu Mao looked at the thousands of strong crossbows hidden on a small barren beach in Chushui and asked with a smile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Scarface replied with a smile: "Strategist, don't say it, these three thousand strong crossbows are all prepared by our family, and as soon as the Xishan Autumn Alliance is over, we will recruit troops and horses, and now it will be my greeting gift." ”

Xu Mao smiled and looked at the weapon in front of him, and sighed a little, it is still good to have money, plus these 3,000 strong crossbows, there are more than 4,000 strong crossbows in the entire water bandits, this can be operated well, and compared with the water army, it is not certain who will kill the deer.

Scarface's strong crossbow gave Xu Mao hope again.

In Du Bantian's exclamation, Xu Mao and Scarface walked over quickly, only to see Du Bantian stroking this 'cannon', no, it shouldn't be a cannon, it should be a ballista.

Such a ballista is no different from a cannon design, but looking at the launchers on both sides, it should take several people to understand, but once it is launched, it will definitely shoot directly through the hull, Du Bantian firmly believes.

Xu Mao also smiled with feeling, thanks to not killing Scarface last night, otherwise so many good things would not be in vain.

In fact, this kind of crossbow is called a cannon crossbow, and it is also a new thing in the Qin State, this kind of thing needs ten people to shoot at the same time, but the power is absolutely huge, of course, such a cannon crossbow is not used to shoot people, shoot the city wall, but is specially used to open other people's city gates.

Treat the city gates that others are guarding, such a cannon crossbow. It only takes two or three cannons to open it, and the people of the Qin State did not realize that it could be used in the water army, in fact, the Qin State itself did not have a water army.

When he bought these 3,000 strong crossbows, it was Yu Yunzhi who specially asked the Qin people for three of these cannon crossbows.

However, Du Bantian felt at a glance that this thing was definitely suitable for water combat, and it was definitely a huge threat to the enemy's warships.

Hurriedly ordered people to load things onto the ship, and Xu Mao distributed all the strong crossbows, which strengthened the combat ability of the water bandits.

"Big boss, with these things, I think we can catch the water army by surprise, they must be looking for us now, and they would never think that we would dare to fight back against them." Xu Mao said after careful consideration.

"What are your plans?" Regarding Xu Mao's words, Du Bantian naturally wouldn't refute them, but he wanted to ask clearly.

In fact, as soon as Xu Mao said this, he wanted to agree, but as the leader, he still had to listen to it specifically.

Xu Mao glanced at Scarface. Scarface knew what Xu Mao meant, and was about to leave. was left behind by Du for a long time.

"It's okay, military advisor, just say it, Scarface is your own person." After speaking, he glanced at Scarface. By the way, he smiled at Xu.

This is Xu Mao's means to help him win people's hearts, if Du Bantian can't understand it, then he will be the big boss in vain.

Hearing this, although Scarface can't say that he is grateful, there is always a little touch and reassurance.

"First of all, we can send spies to attract the navy, of course, we can't act too explicitly, we have to make the navy feel that we have something to do, so that they feel that they can wipe us out, and then we can rely on the advantage of numbers to block a navy, so that they don't die and lose their skin, of course, after this blocking, the navy needs time to recover, and we can also take the opportunity to act." Xu Mao told his plan.

"Lure the enemy deep and wait for an opportunity to ambush. Okay, good strategy, the military advisor is really good. Du Bantian smiled and appreciated.

Scarface on the side was not so happy, what he was thinking about now was that he and Yu Yunzhi had planned well before, but unfortunately, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and if the plan was good, if it was not implemented well, it would still suffer.

Of course, he can only keep this in his heart, and he will naturally not be stupid enough to say it and make both of them unhappy.

Xu Mao and Du carefully calculated for a long time, and Scarface listened to it on the side.

After the two men finished their plans, they began to command their men, dispatch troops, arrange the men and horses, and choose a place where they could be ambushed.

Ships of all sizes sail slowly and quickly.

....。

"Are you saying that Scarface and Du Bantian have been mixed together, and Scarface has also funded Du Bantian's batch of weapons?" Chen Zichen asked rhetorically.

Duan Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, I have been following Scarface, he directly found Du Bantian last night, and he should have joined them, early this morning, Scarface took Du Bantian to a small barren beach and took the weapons above." ”

"Oh? In this way, the bandits have a batch of weapons that may be detrimental to us, and, moreover, they may be desperate. Chen Zichen's brain was spinning rapidly, analyzing the current situation.

"By the way, my lord, today I watched Du for a long time the water bandits frequently go out of the boat, and it seems that there is action, so I hurried back." Duan Jiu added.

Chen Zichen nodded, it seems that he has analyzed it well, and the water bandits should have some small movements.

Looking at Duan Jiu, who was in the dust, Chen Zichen asked, "How is it, how is the intelligence department I asked you to establish?" ”

"My lord, it's almost over, I have recruited some people privately, and I have already sent many people to blend into the Chu State, and some have already been sent to the Qin State." Duan Jiu said truthfully.

Since the last time he surrendered to Chen Zichen, he has been doing this for Chen Zichen.

Since the last time Chen Zichen heard Wu Zichang tell him in Qin State that the Wang family's prince's mausoleum provoked Linshui City, he secretly lamented the lack of intelligence, and it happened that Duan Jiu was here, and by the way, an intelligence department was established.

Chen Zichen nodded, affirmed Duan Jiu's efforts, and asked, "Have you found the ghost pen?" ”

"Lord Hui, I've found some after hard work." After speaking, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Chen Zichen.

Chen Zichen opened it, asked again, nodded and said: "Although I haven't seen the ghost pen, but there is nothing wrong with the shape, smell and record in the book, I will help you try to brew it." ”

Duan Jiu thanked Chen Zichen himself, and just now Chen Zichen took the initiative to ask him about the ghost pen, and he felt that Chen Zichen really cared about him.

"By the way, my lord, please give the intelligence department a name." Duan Jiu said.

Chen Zichen was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Okay, in this way, you will also have a name for doing things in the future, we know each other in assassination, and we intersect in poison, so it is better to call you stingers." ”

Duan Jiu seemed to have muttered a few times in his mouth, and said, "Okay, my lord, we must be like stingers in the hearts of the enemy. ”

Chen Zichen nodded with satisfaction, and Duan Jiu disappeared quietly again.

Chen Zichen held the ghost pen given to him by Duan Jiu in his hand, thinking about the matter of this water bandit.

....

"I got the news that Yu Yunzhi's entourage Scarface and Du Bantian were mixed together, and funded Du Bantian's batch of weapons, Du Bantian's gang of water bandits, there will be small moves, what do you think about us?" Chen Zichen looked at Han Li, Lu Huan, and Yao Sanjiang who was standing behind and said.

"General, I think the bandits may test us now, and they know that we are looking for them, they may have a small move, but they will not automatically send them to the door." Han Li analyzed.

Lu Huan felt that what Han Li said made sense, but he felt that there was something inadequate, and he had some questions, so he asked directly.

Chen Zichen nodded at the views of the two people, he thought that Han Li's analysis was reasonable, and he only smiled at Lu Huan's feelings, but sometimes, it was quite accurate.

glanced at Yao Sanjiang again. Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Zichen took the initiative to ask, "What, Sanjiang?" If you have any ideas, say them and discuss them with everyone. ”

Yao Sanjiang saw that Chen Zichen took the initiative to ask him, and there was no need to hide it, so he said directly: "My lord, don't forget the water bandit military master Xu Mao." ”

This sentence said that Chen Zichen was in his heart, indeed, the idea of this military advisor may be the criterion for the entire water bandits' actions.

Now that everyone is fighting in their hearts, Chen Zichen stood up, put his hands behind his back in the big tent, and kept pacing.

Before Chen Zichen could say a reason, he heard a spy outside the big tent come to report, and when he understood the situation, it turned out that the soldiers who were patrolling vaguely found that there were water bandits watching, and the situation was the same as when Yao Sanjiang was moving under his nose.

After Chen Zichen listened to the report from the spy, he was not so sure, but now he can be completely sure, and he patted the book case and said....
