Chapter 431: Reconnaissance Flight 3

readx;?“ Checkmate! Checkmate! Russell and a few officers couldn't help but turn around, and a soldier was running quickly down the city wall from the west, "What's the matter?" Panicked! ”

"General, it seems that the barracks are empty!" The soldier hurriedly said, and Russell was startled, "What? Gone empty? Didn't keep anyone? ”

"I don't know, General, I just looked over the walls to one of their barracks, but there weren't many people left in that barracks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info [latest chapter reading] "The soldier still has a telescope in his hand, and he is sweating profusely.

"The barracks?" Russell hurriedly stepped forward, and the soldier hurriedly pointed to the back, "That's it!" As he spoke, he handed the telescope to Russell, "I just saw that the entire barracks was empty, and there were hardly any people outside. ”

"Let me see!" Russell raised his binoculars and looked at the military camp in the distance, the military camp in the distance looked blurry in this kind of telescope of rather poor quality, the light was scattered by the bad lenses so that his eyes were a little uncomfortable, and when he looked closely, sure enough, there were not many people in the camp, and there were still high piles of grain and grass in the distance, and there were obviously a lot of grain reserves in it. He smiled, "It's a reserve camp, it's normal that there are no people in it," he said and pointed smugly over there, and said to the officers beside him, "The grain and grass camp will not have many people, mainly soldiers guarding the grain and grass." As he spoke, he handed the telescope back to the soldier, "But you deserve to be commended, and it's good to report something unusual!" But next time, I will report to the officer on duty first, and the officer on duty will tell me after summing it up. ”

The soldier's mouth squirmed twice, but he didn't say anything, just saluted and left.

"Look at it, the departure from the beginning of the child is not finished yet," Russell pointed to the army that was still marching towards the east in the distance, "these people are like a pack of dogs, our staff has set a goal, throw a random decoy, and they will rush over, and in the end they will not eat anything, and they will be beaten miserably." The officers on the side all laughed, and someone echoed, "Yes, they brought such a large army to Champa Port, the Chinese will definitely not give up Champong Port, and the two sides will definitely fight to the death for Champong Port, even if the Chinese's muskets are powerful, this is tens of thousands of people, although they may not be able to fight, at least they can consume most of the squadron." ”

"Yes, that's what the staff wants," Russell nodded, "drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and then control the Annanites who have suffered heavy losses, so that they can take the initiative." Now that the dregs of the South Shore Army have been occupied by the Boundary Town that we have taken as the foundation, we must go all out to conquer the port of Zhancheng, otherwise there will be no place to live; As for the Chinese who can make exquisite items, they will inevitably not be able to hold the port of Champa if they are attacked by these southern shore troops, and even if they can hold the port of Champang, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. In this way, we need to worry about heavy casualties on both sides, and we are the only ones who will not suffer any losses, so after this battle, we have enough ability to threaten the Chinese, let them negotiate a tax exemption treaty with us, provide workshops, train us craftsmen, and even the steel giants that the staff has been thinking about must fall into our hands. At that time, we will be the people who can truly run rampant in the whole world! ”

"Good!" "Hooray!" The Medeno officers and soldiers next to him were all excited by Russell's words, and they waved their hands and cheered loudly.

"How many of us are gone now?" Ruan Wei reclined in the car, and two lieutenants on horseback waited respectfully in the window next to him. In the corner of the car sat a servant, wielding a fan desperately, Ruan Wei's eyes were slightly closed, feeling the not very cool wind. The straw mat under him was again covered with a thick layer of grease, and the whole carriage was filled with the unpleasant smell of sweat. His concubine was quietly looking out through the window screen at this time, quietly covering her nose under the pretense of catching mosquitoes, trying to fan away the smell next to her nose.

Ruan Wei is not interested in paying attention to the concubine, since the last time Ito Hulala took all the people away, he still hasn't got any money, without money, there is no way to redeem Ruhua in Huayue Tower - Hue City is full of powerful people, and if you throw a stone, you may be able to hit an official, and the relationship between the powerful and the powerful is complicated, so he naturally has no money and has no courage to meet Ruhua at all. If the money is not enough to be driven out by the group of people who only recognize silver in the eyes of Huayuelou, it will be too faceless, but there are high-ranking officials of the imperial court behind them, and they can only coil when they cross the river and get there. Now the only thing Ruan Wei thinks about is to quickly defeat the Champa Port, and then become the king of the Champa City, at that time, there must be money, at least when the princess was in charge of the Champa Port before, the income was amazing. Ruhua must be out of play now, he must have asked which rich miscellaneous person to redeem himself and marry back as a little wife, he just fantasized about the scene of Ruhua pressing the begonia under the pear blossom under another old man, and he couldn't help but feel extremely aggrieved.

"General, our army's baggage convoy has already set off, and now it is the rear guard on its way, and in half an hour, the last troops of our army will be able to leave the barracks." The lieutenant general hurriedly arched his hand on the horse and said, this is not because he does not respect Ruan Wei, but that Ruan Wei's wheels are high, and if he dismounts, he will not be able to talk to Ruan Wei, so Ruan Wei allowed them, the lieutenants, to ride and talk to him by the window.

"It's noon now, and it's been six hours!" Ruan Wei couldn't help but throw the fan in his hand into the corner of the car with some annoyance, "That guy Zhao Ximin, he kept saying that he wanted to keep it secret, and he specially chose to set off at the right time, and the result was known to everyone. I'm afraid that such an empty city plan won't be able to deceive the north at all, no matter what, anyway, Lao Tzu doesn't plan to go back to this place! He turned his head to look at the servant who was fanning him behind him and shouted, "Fan! What is it to steal? ”

The servant's two-handed fan was already shaking, but at this time, Ruan Wei roared, and his hand shook in fright, and he almost threw the fan out. I forgot about the pain in my hand for a while, and hurriedly fanned it desperately with a fan.

"Herald!" Ruan Wei felt a cool breeze, couldn't help but squint his eyes comfortably, and said to the adjutant general next to him, "The whole army is marching in a hurry, and you must go out fifty miles before this afternoon, otherwise you will not be allowed to eat today!" ”

The two lieutenants hurriedly gave their orders, one drove his horse to the front of the marching procession, and the other turned his horse's head to the back and informed the rearguard.

"I'm starving! I haven't eaten breakfast yet! Ruan Wei touched his belly full of fat, and continued to say to himself, "I really don't want to get up, especially since I still have a fever, and I have to eat breakfast with illness at this time...... What a wickedness! ”

The servant hurriedly got up and went outside to explain to the person waiting on the wheel, and the other side looked surprised, and hurriedly got out of the car and rushed to the car that followed to cook. This Ruan Wei's car is much smaller than Zhao Ximin's, and there is no bedroom and reception room in the car, let alone a kitchen and toilet, so he can only prepare one more car, and install a kitchen in that car to prepare cooking for Ruan Wei at any time.

The smoke of the cooking soon rose down the chimney, and the smell of food mixed with the smoke and dust of the burning wood drifted away with the majesty, and the soldiers who smelled the fragrance along the way were hungry one by one - they did not have the treatment of Ruan Wei, they only had two meals a day, except for lunch and dinner, and they were not full, at this time everyone was skinny, if the soldiers were better, at least they had some muscles, and the auxiliaries were really thin to the point that only a trace of muscle remained. One by one, they sniffed and looked at the food truck, imagining what would be delicious inside, even though everyone knew that the food had nothing to do with them, but it was always okay to imagine.

The herald shouted orders to the soldiers along the marching column, "The general has an order, speed up your pace, you must go fifty miles before this afternoon, otherwise you will not be allowed to eat at night!" ”

"Damn, he eats comfortably, he's as fat as a pig, and he still sits in the car and doesn't need to walk by himself, and we have to hurry with hungry things one by one, and it's still fifty miles."

"Yes! It's immoral. "Yes, when you come out to fight, you have to take your concubine with you, so you really think you're here to play!"

"Don't even say it, who called someone a general?" "Yes, don't say it, if you let the general hear it, you will be punished."

"What general? It's nothing more than a general, after so many years, he only got mixed with a general, and when the emperor was killed, he didn't know how to serve loyally, so he directly voted for the rebels. The person who spoke was red-faced, and the people next to him all looked like they were deeply appreciative, but they didn't dare to follow along. A person next to him, who was obviously a friend of him, quietly pushed him, "Don't say it, these are all people, if anyone secretly reports it, it will be troublesome." The man looked left and right, and then stopped talking, but followed his companions to the smell of cooking, and his stomach began to rumble one after another.

"Ready to stop cooking!" As the heralds came all the way to announce the general's instructions, the soldiers stopped one by one as if relieved, and scattered to collect firewood in the woodfields on both sides of the road. One by one, the auxiliaries began to dig up the stoves with wooden hoes on the roadside, set up large iron pots, stuffed firewood under the stoves, and began to light the fires with fire sickles.

"What's that up front?" Yuan Zhenli's shoulder was patted again, and when he turned his head, it turned out that Lin Jinlai's eyes were sharp, and he directly found dozens of smoke columns coming out of the woodland at the far end of the river, which looked as if many fires had been ignited.

Yuan Zhenli sat upright and looked at it with a telescope, "It seems to be cooking smoke, and there seems to be a flag." He raised his arm and looked at the quartz watch, "It's been nearly two hours since we set off, close to three hundred kilometers, and this should be Jiezhen." ”

Lin Jinlai observed the terrain and pointed to the Jiehe River and shouted, "Chief, there are no bridges and ferries on both sides of the riverbank here, only that side," he pointed to the front, Yuan Zhenli looked at it with a telescope and nodded in agreement, "That's right, only that piece is gentle, it should be Jiezhen there." ”

"There is farmland!" Lin Jinlai immediately shouted. Yuan Zhenli's eyes couldn't compare to Lin Jinlai, so he could only pick up the telescope and start to observe, and sure enough, a large area of farmland began to appear near the river bank on the left, most of these farmlands were abandoned at this time, and a large number of crops were dumped in the fields, and it seemed that they had been destroyed.

"This must be the farmland of the Ito Army, which seems to be thousands of acres of land, and it is really a big deal to abandon it in one go." Yuan Zhenli said to himself while watching, now a large number of ruins began to appear at the far end of the farmland, the ruins are composed of criss-crossing houses and walled walls, most of the ruins are charcoal black that has been burned by the fire, many buildings have been dumped because of the burning, and even the walled wall has been burned in many places.

At this time, at the end of the southernmost field of vision, there was finally a target to be sought-the official road to the east of Jiezhen, and a large number of soldiers were swarming on the official road at this time, walking towards the east, bustling like a market, and the flags were rolled up on the poles and poked diagonally into the air. Both on horseback and on horseback, the walkers looked listless, slowly moving eastward like a herd of walking corpses.

Yuan Zhenli didn't say a word, he raised a single against the marching column is a burst of shooting, his current position is six or seven kilometers away from the marching team, this digital camera uses a high-end camera that claims to be able to be poor in the old time and space, at this time can easily shoot the situation in the distance, but the plane itself is a little shaky, making the framing a little troublesome when shooting.

The plane continued to fly west, and soon came across the legendary Jie Town, whose walls were about six miles long and five miles wide, built against a hill that was not too high. Judging from the plane, the city wall of the entire Jiezhen is close to an oval, and the city wall of Jiezhen has only three gates, namely the southeast and west gates, and the north gate was not built at all during the construction because it was afraid of being forcibly seized by Bei Annan. Yuan Zhenli could clearly see that there was a gun emplacement on the east city gate, and there were many people standing near the gun emplacement, holding some long brass tubes in their hands and watching the marching procession.

There are flags fluttering on the head of the city, and Yuan Zhenli can't quite understand these colorful flags, but one of them is a double-headed eagle flag of Meideno at a glance, and it seems that the Meideno people mentioned in the intelligence have taken control of the boundary town. Suddenly, someone below pointed to the plane, and then all the people below looked this way, obviously the person's voice was very loud, and the people nearby all raised their heads and raised their long pipes to look at the plane. "Let you see!" Yuan Zhenli muttered, and shouted loudly at the back, "I'll do it, you are ready to drop the bomb!" As he spoke, he switched the control switch to his cockpit, and Lin Jinlai, who was behind him, hurriedly began to rummage around the cockpit and pick up the fireworks wrapped in prefabricated fragments and bounced.
