Chapter 426: One Hundred Spies 5
Zhao Ximin is now as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, to say that he is so secretive, it is nothing more than to cover up the truth of his nest this time in front of the people of Maidenor, but he is stuck here. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info [latest chapter reading] There is no moonlight on a cloudy day today, and he asked the soldiers not to light torches, so that the soldiers can't walk at all. If it drags on until tomorrow morning, the people of Maidno will stop at the head of the city, and as soon as the clairvoyant mirror is put aside, they will see everything clearly.
"General!" Another young general came on horseback, and Zhao Ximin saw that this person was sent by himself to watch the situation in the city near the boundary town, and he came at this time, it must be something that happened in the boundary town. Zhao Ximin's heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened in Jiezhen?" ”
"Report to the General!" The young general also hurriedly dismounted and saluted, "There was a drum beat in the town, and there was an uproar in the city, and I could hear the people of Maideno shouting in their language, and I didn't know when it happened. ”
Zhao Ximin's heart was cold at this time, it was over, presumably his troops were grinding so slowly, and they were finally noticed by the Maidno people, if they rushed out to stop their troops at this time, wouldn't it be ...... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think that he would not stop doing it, it was night, and if there were really any Medenor people rushing out of the city, there would be no city walls to rely on. In addition, the visual distance at night has been greatly shortened, and the power of the Maidno musket will be greatly reduced, although he is not 100,000 people here, but if he really fights, he will not necessarily suffer a big loss. As soon as this murderous thought came out, there was nothing to be afraid of, from the time the people of Maidno came, the town was robbed, his gold and silver treasures were plundered, and the anger in his chest was always suppressed, and at this time it was almost to the point of a blowout. Zhao Ximin's mood at this time was extremely relaxed, anyway, at this time, this emperor is also an impostor, or made by the Maidno people, even if he rebels, if this Ruan Wei is willing to have one heart with himself, then do it together, not one heart, then just kill it tonight.
"Someone! Inform the whole army, prepare the torches, light the way, and march quickly! Zhao Ximin shouted viciously, "You two," he said, pointing to the two thousand households not far away, "The people who led you are ambushed near the city gate, if the people of Maidno come out, they will attack them in two directions and besiege them and kill them." ”
"General......" A thousand households couldn't help but want to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Zhao Ximin, "Go and prepare!" ”
"Command!" The two thousand households didn't dare to say much, although Zhao Ximin was like mud in front of the Maidno people, but in front of his own people, he was notoriously decisive in killing, and if he didn't obey the order, he would be cut off his head, so he hurriedly rode a horse to find his own troops.
With one order after another, many torches suddenly lit up in the mighty marching column, and under the light of the torches, the large group of men and horses marched along the official road to the north like a surging river, and the marching speed of the entire army suddenly increased a lot.
However, to Zhao Ximin's disappointment, until dawn, he did not see the Medeno people open the city gate and come out.
"Brother Zhou, what are we doing with them?" Dawn quietly approached Zhou Rui, who was riding a horse, and asked in a low voice while extinguishing the torch in his hand, "Our mission is over, why do you want to follow this group of Annan people to the east?" What are they going to do? ”
"I don't know," Zhou Rui jumped off his horse, although he had achieved fame before, but his family had done a lot of farm work before the barbarian disaster, so riding a horse or something was not a problem at all. "I think we need to find out," he explained, looking at Dawn's puzzled eyes, "from here to the east, you can reach the port of Champa for hundreds of miles, and next to the port of Champa is the port of the East. ”
Dawn had an epiphany and nodded hurriedly, "Are you afraid that they plan to attack Champa Port?" ”
"It's not that I'm afraid, I'm definitely going to attack Champa Port," Zhou Rui said, "We now have an army of about three hundred people, so we can easily blend into their ranks." ”
"What are we doing with their ranks? Why not follow them quietly? The more Dawn knew, the more incomprehensible she felt. Zhou Rui glanced at him, knowing that this guy couldn't understand so many things at once, and the main purpose of him coming with him was to protect his own safety. "We can get more information about them when we get in with them, such as the number of people and the amount of food and grass."
"Hmm." Dawn nodded, "Let's understand and send back more information, which is a great contribution to the Senate, right?" ”
"That's right," Zhou Rui said, handing the reins to Yun Qian, who was walking beside him. Yun Qian was still wearing that military uniform at this time, although she was not tall, she was not short in the Annan soldiers. Ever since she saw the looting of the Medeno people in the city, she had completely lost confidence in defecting to her relatives in Jiezhen, and made up her mind to follow Zhou Rui together. You must know that her whole family was sentenced to exile, and if she escaped like this, once she was caught, she would be sent to be an official prostitute. Instead of living in fear, it is better to go with this "righteous gentleman", at least people have not done anything to themselves until now, and it seems that it is worth entrusting. With the help of Zhou Rui, she put on makeup, and got a more fitting military uniform to change into. Fortunately, she was born in a wealthy family, she has not wrapped her feet, and she is not afraid of long-distance marches, if she is too tired from long-distance marching, Zhou Rui will let her hide in the grain and grass cart to rest.
"We are auxiliaries." Zhou Rui whispered to Liming, "The main thing we need to deal with is basically military supplies, and we can figure out how many enemies there are through the amount of military supplies." ”
Dawn suddenly realized, "I see, no wonder you said last night that you couldn't count how many enemies there were, so you brought people into the army to find out the news." ”
"That's right." Zhou Rui said and nodded, "Now that we are mixed into the army, we will be able to find out the news faster and in more detail." ”
"But if I am among the enemy, how can I be found by them?" Liming was a little nervous, "I'm going to go back and marry Yan'er." ”
"Hehe," Zhou Rui was speechless, and could only offer the almighty cold phrase he had learned from the elders. He knew that Liming was willing to go to Annan to carry out this long-distance reconnaissance mission this time, and the main reason was that Ren Xuefeng promised him a bonus.
Since Liming's new army captured Shabak, he happened to meet Li Shiyan, who was a childhood sweetheart, and learned that in order to "save herself", she did not hesitate to work as a prostitute for the group of livestock of the forbidden army, and was deeply moved and wanted to marry her as a wife. But he was a soldier at the time and couldn't get married, so he asked Li Shiyan to go to Beiqiaotou Town to live first, and then marry her after he was discharged from the army. Later, Liming joined the Army Intelligence Bureau in order to marry her as soon as possible, but he still had to face a big problem when he became an army intelligence officer, and he had no money.
To live in Beiqiaotou Town, there are several prerequisites, first of all, you must have a house to live in, and you must have money to live. But Liming has no money to buy a house and build a house, and even his living expenses are to provide Li Shiyan with his own salary every month. Originally, his salary was more than three yuan a month, and if he lived for half a year before, there would be no problem, but Beiqiaotou Town is not Dongfang Port, and the inflation rate in Beiqiaotou Town is much higher than that of Dongfang Port, so these three yuan can only save one and a half yuan a month. As a result, the purchase of a house is far away.
When he was at a loss, Ren Xuefeng took over the position of director of the Army Intelligence Bureau, and in order to stimulate the passion of field agents to go deep behind enemy lines to gather intelligence, he introduced a special reward for completing the first field mission to become a naturalized citizen and receive a bonus of 200 yuan. Dawn was attracted by this reward and volunteered to participate in the operation.
Money is a good thing, but if you have money to earn, you have to spend it, during this time, he followed Zhou Rui around the enemy every day, and even became one of the enemy's hundred households, leading hundreds of Annan soldiers to mix into this army of tens of thousands of people. This army is at least more than 20,000 people, this is what Zhou Rui said, he is professionally trained and knows how to infer how many people there are based on the formation and marching speed. If the enemy finds out that he is a spy, he is afraid that he will be beheaded, and even worse, he will be cut by a thousand knives...... He shuddered just thinking about it.
============================= divider =============================
"How many pigeons do you have?" Zhou Rui asked, the liaison officer was still carrying the pigeon cage, but this pigeon cage was obviously larger than the one he was carrying the night before. The liaison officer said a little depressed, "There are five more, and the one who delivered the pigeons last night found me by following the mark I left behind, and sent me a larger pigeon cage, you see, which can hold six." But he only sent five! ”
"Well, it's a lot bigger." Zhou Rui said notoriously, and then asked, "What about the situation in the back?" What's the situation? ”
"There's nothing special about it, but there's news from headquarters that we need to find out where this South Bank Army is going, and how many people there are."
Zhou Rui nodded and handed him the strip of cloth with the words written on it, "This is the information we got from our reconnaissance last night, you send it back first." "Oh, okay." The liaison officer took it and said as if he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, the headquarters asked you to mix in the middle of the enemy's ranks, especially be careful of the planes, if the air force planes fly over, I'm afraid it will be difficult to distinguish the difference between you and the enemy, in order to prevent accidental injury, you had better prepare for evacuation when you see the planes coming." ”
"Airplanes?" Zhou Rui couldn't help but be stunned, "Didn't you say that the plane couldn't fly here?" But he quickly shook his head, "It's okay, we'll do it." I have to go. ”
"Wait!" The liaison officer stopped him again, "The pigeon messenger said that there should be at least a group of intelligence officers nearby, you should be careful when you are in it to find out the news, don't be killed as someone from the South Shore Army." ”
"Well, okay, I'll take care of it." Saying that, Zhou Rui got up and led the horse away. The liaison officer carefully took a pigeon out of the pigeon cage, tied a strip of cloth to the pigeon's leg and released it.
"It's really evil," Ren Xuefeng walked into the conference room, holding the intelligence document he had just decoded and placed it on the table and said to the participants.
Qian Longzhou next to him also felt very strange and came over. "What's wrong?"
"It's really the same as what the old Japanese man said, the South Coast Army really poured out, and only a few people were left in several military camps, if it's correct, then Jiezhen is really an empty city." Ren Xuefeng said while watching, "This old Japanese man really has a hand!" ”
"Of course, people have been a military advisor for so many years, although they are not as predictable as Zhuge Liang, but they can guess something according to the situation." Xiao Mingwei on the side said, but Li Jieqi threw out a series of questions, "How is it?" What is the situation today? What is the speed at which an army is marching? How much grain is there? ”
"It's not clear," Ren Xuefeng said, "What we sent today is yesterday's information, if you want to know this, you have to collect it tomorrow, and the main method of transmitting intelligence by the front intelligence officers is carrier pigeons, although this method is much faster than relying on the heralds, but the channel for transmitting intelligence is one-way, and if we want to send them a message, it will take several days for them to receive it." ”
"It's really too backward...... He Rolling Long couldn't help but say depressedly, "By the way, Yuan Zhenli has tested the generator plan you said, and it is feasible." But you can't do too intense maneuvers, and the generator is in the middle of the aircraft, and the generator will cause fatigue of the aircraft fuselage components if it vibrates for a long time. ”
"So......" asked Li Jieqi, "what about your biplane?" You should be able to go out scouting, right? ”
"The reconnaissance is fine, and it has been checked, and now the machinery is working properly, and it can take off in the afternoon if needed." He Rolling Long said, "It's just that I wonder if I can install a set of transmitters on the plane?" You can send a report on the spot instead of having to report it later. ”
"What a stark on the transmitter!" Xiao Mingwei couldn't help laughing, "We have a camera, just fly out and shoot around and come back, but the only thing to worry about is the safety of the aircraft, and I still don't feel at ease with this kind of wooden biplane." ”
"It's okay," He Rolling Long said with a smile, "This is not a problem, you must know that those biplanes and triplanes in World War I are even more unreliable than ours, and people still have to drive the sky to fight each other, but ours is carefully made, and in addition, it is World War II technology, so it will naturally not be so fragile." ”
"What about the fuel tank? Didn't you say that you wanted to modify the fuel tank to be refueled on all sides? Is it finished? Bu Zhongfu asked, He Rolling Long shook his head, "It's too late, it's only been two days, and there is not enough time to train pilots." There was originally a take-off and landing training this afternoon, so I plan to take advantage of this take-off and landing training to directly conduct a long-range reconnaissance to have a look. ”
