Guo Hao was standing at the gate of the camp at this time, he didn't know where he should go to stay, and he couldn't find a place after turning around twice, so he had to find the security team attendant. Fortunately, although there are many things on the beach, they are not complicated, basically a set of database systems are all arranged, and soon Tan Lian, who is on duty, found Guo Hao's accommodation from the database, "Tent No. 12 in Area B." ”

"Damn, what about the AB area? Where is Zone A? ”

"Area A is a prefabricated house, mainly for couples, and if they are not married, they will naturally live in tents in Area B." Tan Lian didn't raise his head, lowered his head and checked his tablet to see how well it was charged, he could count on this thing to pass the time tonight.

"And where do you live?" Guo Hao saw that her preoccupied appearance was very cute, so he said something casually, and ended up eating a slap in the door.

He was a little depressed and walked out of the security team duty tent with his backpack and walked towards the tent area.

Although the tents in the tent area are of different colors, they are quite neatly arranged, and the hundreds of tents of different colors are arranged in the camp surrounded by a wall. What kept his eyes peeled the most was the weapons warehouse in the center of the wall. He heard from the group that the military group had transferred nearly 200 spears of various kinds and 350 pistols to the weapons warehouse on the shore, and that in the event of an enemy siege, all the grassroots militiamen would return to the weapons depot to receive their spears, while the rest of the crossing would receive pistols and bullets. "As for it? Two machine guns were enough to kill a charge of 10,000 people. He muttered a few words, resisted the urge to go down and look at the gun, and found his tent.

This is a single tent, he couldn't help but look around, there is a relatively wide street in the past three rows behind, and there are many tents opposite, it seems that it should be a girls' tent area, and there are female guards outside who are in charge of guarding and patrolling.

"How did I get to such a place," he said depressedly, unzipping the tent, revealing a large backpack with his name written on it, and it seemed that before dark he had finally delivered all his belongings from the bottom floor to his tent by name. "Hehe, I don't know if Zhao Yong and Zhao Yong's bags were delivered by mistake?" He snickered.

In the prefabricated house in the distance, on the second floor, Zhao Yong was losing his temper with Catherine, "Who is so bored that you wrote me such a big 'new' word on my backpack with an oil-based pen?" Is there still the old Zhao Yong? ”

Catherine was surprised to pack up the things in the house according to her habits, and the backpack was not opened, and it was placed directly in a corner of the house, and there were two single beds in the couple's house, because the double beds of the marching bed were not of very good quality, and they were easy to break, which was proved by experiments in the Guangdong base, and it was not suitable for a large number of second-generation traversers in the early days of landing, so getting two double beds squeezed in this narrow board room can also effectively weaken the enthusiasm of the traversers to breed offspring, What's more, you can go up and down the stairs and chat across the floor.

Early the next morning, the members of the military team were released to spread out a cordon, while the members of the internal affairs team were cleaning up the mosquitoes on the mosquito control lamp. Although after a whole day of filling in the sewage pit and cleaning the shrubs yesterday, the mosquito killer lamp is still full of all kinds of mosquitoes, which are even larger than the size of ordinary people's thumbs, which makes the cleanup personnel feel quite scared.

A few of the people who were sent out today were out of the ordinary, wearing camouflage uniforms, carrying tents and wilderness survival equipment, surveying and mapping equipment, and several of them carrying shortwave radios. This is a long-distance exploration team that has been set up at the Guangdong base to explore the mineral deposits and vegetation conditions within a five-kilometer radius. This was the first official operation of the remote exploration team, and it was carried out without maps and surrounding geological data, so in order to prevent disorientation or attack by wild beasts, Xue Ziliang and Zeng Zhigang were also accompanied by them.

Since Zeng Zhigang found that he had inexplicably come to a new world, he felt a particularly exciting excitement, this is a new world, a world where he is a powerful person and a superior, and if he behaves well in this world, it is absolutely possible to enter the Standing Committee. This is a rabble group, and the political structure is a large democracy with a voting system, and it can mix in with it, and it is definitely capable of making a name for itself in it. Because the stall built on this beachhead was too open, the military team couldn't spare anyone to escort the long-range exploration team, and Xue Ziliang was an acquaintance, so he hurriedly pulled Xue Ziliang to sign up for the escort work of the long-range exploration team. Xue Ziliang is a person who has been in the U.S. Army for many years, a person who can be a soldier in the armed reconnaissance team, even if he is not the king of soldiers, he is also the king of most of the soldiers, and there will naturally be nothing disorienting with him, at least the first beach map of the crossing is still from him, and I heard that there is no mistake or omission so far. Zeng Zhigang couldn't help but be complacent at this time, and Xue Ziliang carried Bayi to open the way in front.

Xue Ziliang had mixed feelings in his heart at this time, this routine cooperative case handling suddenly became a farewell journey in the old time and space, the stone wall in the bureau should be engraved with his name now, and his family should also be about to receive an American flag, right? Although this new regime also claims to be the United States, with a few exceptions, the hundreds of people in it, whether they are executive committee members above or ordinary laborers below, are all Chinese. This United States did not give him any sense of identity at all, on the contrary, he carried the Bayi rifle in his hand, the copycat Marine backpack on his back, the 87 camouflage training uniform on his body, the Ray-Ban toad sunglasses he brought on the bridge of his nose, and the Penny hat on his head, as if he was an armed drug dealer in South America. When he was in the service, he also had the experience of fighting in the jungles of South America, an island country, and even had the experience of fighting with South American drug dealers, but he didn't expect that one day, he would have to appear in the jungles of Asia in such a dress. He is not as strong as Zeng Zhigang's power, on the contrary, he thinks that being a special soldier is the most suitable home for him to play, so he did not refuse Zeng Zhigang's invitation.

The composition of this long-range exploration team was mainly led by Zhou Lihang of the geological group, Qian Longzhou of the surveying and mapping group, and Sun Wenqing, who studied botany and self-taught traditional Chinese medicine.

Traveling in the jungle is an absolutely troublesome thing, the not tall Qian Longzhou tripped over vines n times along the way, and every few hundred meters he traveled, Xue Ziliang had to stop to identify the direction.

"That's not right! The compass here is always swinging, and there must be a source of interference nearby. Xue Ziliang made a conclusion about the compass that has been on strike all the way.

Hearing this, Zhou Lihang took out his compass without saying a word, and asked excitedly, "Brother Xue, where did you start discovering this situation?" ”

"Please call me Pooh." Xue Ziliang said coolly with a compass. "From the first two kilometres, the direction of the compass began to shift to the west. It's not clear what the situation is. ”

"This is ancient times, there are not so many kinds of interference sources, if it is really interfered with, there should be a big iron mine nearby." Zhou Lihang searched around while following the trembling pointing of the compass. He is a high-achieving student who graduated from a geological university, after graduation, his family found a variety of relationships before he tried his best to get him into a geological exploration team, and the result was that he was exploring outside every day, although the income was still good, but three hundred and sixty-five days a year was only able to come back for a while, after experiencing all kinds of hard exploration work, his brother Zhou Liming stumbled upon this wormhole post, and he resolutely resigned when he learned of this situation, and chose this opportunity to become Li Siguang in the new world.

When Li Siguang in the new world was happily searching for traces of iron ore, Sun Wenqing also discovered his new world, he actually found many kinds of herbs, and more interestingly, he actually found wild kapok in this jungle. At this time, Xue Ziliang and Zeng Zhi just knew that this was really not a good errand, and the two of them had to follow these exploration team members who would make new discoveries from time to time like kindergarten teachers in the kindergarten. Fortunately, the other explorers have not yet been found to poke down the G-spot, otherwise the two guards may not be enough.

When the two of them circled around the exploration team with bitter faces, Zhou Jinfeng in An Yun City also had a shocked face at this time. Three of the ten people he sent out to the beach this morning to inquire about the news returned, and the rest were caught by the pirates as soon as they arrived, and are now being checked by the pirates on the beach with their bare butts. The three people who came back were so frightened that they couldn't speak at first, but after a long time of relief, they reported the same situation as Wu Wenshan, who ran back yesterday, a huge steel ship, a ship that could move freely without sails and oars in the sea, a huge monster like cutting trees and vegetables, and a vehicle that could run freely without being pulled by oxen and horses on the ground...... What the hell is going on? As the saying goes, three people become tigers, but these three people definitely didn't have any opportunity to communicate with each other and then report, because the three of them went in completely different directions and reconnaissance places, but the situation they reported was the same, which showed that what they saw was true. If there really is such a group of pirates with witchcraft to commit it, his own An Yun City will not fall immediately?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to invite the gentry from the city and several nearby villages to the mansion to discuss countermeasures. It was already dark when the gentry of more than ten villages outside Anyun City and the people in the city basically arrived, and this week Jin Feng did not say hello, and directly informed all the gentry present about the attack of this group of giants. When the gentry heard this, they jumped to their feet. Although most of them have a village warrior group training, the general pirates do not have to worry about attacking, there are food weapons in the village, among which Liu Mingyuan, the owner of Liujiazhai, is particularly elite in the group training, a few years ago at the request of An Yuncheng to defeat the Zhan mob, in the past with the official army to exterminate the bandits also played an important role. At this time, all the gentry present naturally elected Liu Mingyuan as the leader of the gentry.

Liu Mingyuan didn't shirk either, stood up and made a gesture to Zhou Jinfeng, "Lord Zhou, since this attack of the pirates is so dangerous, we must dispatch as soon as possible, you might as well write a letter to ask the Thousand Households in the west of the city to send a large army to directly exterminate these pirates, and at the same time, you should also write a letter to Lord Liu Chuanzhi, the general of coastal defense, and ask Lord Liu to send a naval army to force over at sea, so as to drive away this group of pirates." ”

"The letter was written, but the thousand households in the west of the city said that there was a shortage of food and salaries, and the troops could not move at this time. The letter to Lord Liu is still on the way, and it will take about a few days before it will be delivered to Lord Liu, and the main concern of the lower officials at this time is that since the landing, these pirates have not disturbed the people or plundered, and they have actually concentrated on cutting trees and building a city by the beach, and if they let them build this city, I am afraid that it will not be so easy for our imperial army to drive them away. ”

"The problem of money and food is not big, I still have some surplus in the village, which can be handed over to the thousands of households to use for the silver, if we do not carry out the expulsion and attack at this time, once these pirates build the city, only these thousands of hundreds of military households, I am afraid that they will not be able to drive them out again, if the above is to blame, not only the thousands of households, but also the adults will not be able to afford it."

Zhou Jinfeng also nodded silently at this time, "Based on what you gentlemen see, what should we do?" ”

"As far as Liu has seen, once the pirates finish building the city, it will definitely be a disaster for the village. This group of pirates, and there are witchcraft driving carts, and I heard that there are sharp firearms, if it is really a disaster in the township, I am afraid that no one inside and outside the city of Anyun will be spared, and everything will be turned into powder. Only by taking advantage of the fact that these pirates were not on a firm foothold and sending multiple groups of men and horses to find the right time to kill the lone pirates, slow down their construction speed, and undermine their determination to gain a foothold, they could buy time for General Liu's army. ”

Liu Mingyuan paused as he spoke. "In order to show that my Liu Jiazhai is loyal to the imperial court and for the sake of the villagers inside and outside Anyun City, Liu Jiazhai hereby presents twenty taels of silver and fifteen stones of grain, please smile."

Among these gentry, Liu Mingyuan had already expressed his position, and hurriedly joined in offering money and food to show his determination to stand against the pirates.

…………………………

"The remote exploration team sent back an exploration report today, and they explored most of the area within five kilometres south of the camp today and found an iron ore, a tungsten mine, and a large number of wild kapok." Du Yande sat in the command tent and held the report sent back through the radio today.

"What about the reserves of iron ore and tungsten ore?" Zhang Yuan tapped lightly on the table and asked. "If we don't know the reserves, it's hard to plan the next step, and now we don't have a coal mine or a source of coal, so if we use charcoal, we can't reach the temperature of steelmaking and ironmaking."

"It's not important, we can get it through trading." As soon as Sun Wenbin finished speaking, he was refuted by Xiao Jing.

"No, coal has not been found to be used in this era, some people have discovered that coal can be used for heating, but it is often rejected because of its large smoke, and most people are completely uninterested in this black and useless thing. If you buy it, people may not bother to mine it. ”

"And according to you, we still have to occupy a coal mine?" Yang Minghuan has no concept of this at all.

"Originally, there was a Hongji coal mine in Vietnam, and the reserves were very considerable, but now that the terrain has changed so much, I don't know if this Hongji coal mine is still in its original location." Zhang Yuan continued. "Coal mines are a very important thing for us, whether it is steelmaking and ironmaking, or later steam chemical industry production, we must have sufficient coal sources. I think we need to send exploration teams to find farther afield, to find a definite source of coal anyway. ”

Du Yande looked at the information and didn't raise his head. "I think our biggest problem right now is not the iron mines, but the population, we only have more than 500 people, and it's the second day of landfall, and a lot of people have already reported being bitten by mosquitoes. I don't know how many cases will come after the incubation period of malaria. According to the backwardness of the means of communication of the ancients, the time when they sent a large army to attack us should have been the time of a great outbreak of malaria. We should now find a way to enlist the support of the local government and avoid confrontation with the local government. ”

Li Jieqi interrupted Du Yande's words. "Our location should be in the north of Vietnam, and the political center of Vietnam should still be in Hanoi, which is now Thang Long. Thang Long is at least 200 kilometers away from here in a straight line, and with our current military strength, they need to dispatch at least 5,000 men to make a relatively effective threat to us, and with the power of our weapons, even if half of our men are sick and half of us are separated from the sick and a quarter of them are taking care of the sick, we will be able to hold this camp in danger. ”

"Li Jieqi, you can't brag, what if the enemy comes and we can't resist?"

"Our camp is only 500 meters from the beach, and the sea is guarded by a detachment of seas, so if we can't resist it, our fishing boats can come close to the shore to provide support. Now they have several trebuchets installed on the ship, which can fire explosive fireworks at the shore for fire cover. ”

"Fireworks?" Hearing this, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but be a little stunned. "What's the use of fireworks?"

"Fireworks are small, they can be thrown at a distance of 300 meters to 500 meters, the power of the explosion is not small, and the detonation time is controllable. We prepared some prefabricated fragmented fireworks shells before coming out, which can explode like a bomb after being installed on top of the fireworks bombs, and we tested it when we were at the Guangdong base, and the effect is not bad, the killing distance can reach a radius of three meters, and at the same time, it can also burn violently to burn the target. It is quite lethal against swarm targets or wooden ships at sea. ”

"Since Vietnam still belongs to the Vu Dynasty at this time, we must fight a fierce battle with the Vu Dynasty before we can find a chance for peaceful development, and we can only hope that this battle will not break out in the middle of the malaria outbreak." Du Yande had to sigh.

As the mobile phone rang, Li Jieqi looked at his PHS in amazement. "Damn, who called me?"

"Li Tou, I am Gu Fulin from the radar station, and I found that there are ships moving thirty-five nautical miles away."

"What? Got a boat activity? In what direction? What is the speed? ”

"The ships were on our north side, heading due south, at a speed of about three knots, and there were four ships."

"Oh, I see, you inform the navy, they are still familiar with things on the sea."

"Okay." Gu Fulin immediately hung up the phone, and then dialed Tang Xunliang's phone.

"Brother Tang, there are ships approaching from the north, the distance is about thirty-five nautical miles."

"Okay, I see, the anti-smuggling boat will go and see it now."

"Do you want 8154 to come over and have a look? 8154 has a bazooka on it. ”

"Okay, I'll go inform them!" Tang Xunliang quickly hung up the phone and grabbed the radio directly.

"Who's free in the fishing fleet right now?"

"This is the No. 1 8154 cruiser where Bu Zhongfu is, please speak." Almost immediately, Bu Zhongfu's voice came over the radio. He was particularly excited after hearing about the radar echo of an unknown ship in the north in his previous radio contact, and he immediately replied when he heard Tang Xunliang's call.

Cruiser? Tang Xunliang couldn't help but pause, "Then the No. 1 boat will go to the north with me, there seems to be a ship echo thirty-five nautical miles away." ”

"Okay! Ready to go! Bu Zhongfu immediately stopped the call and shouted at the floating dock, "The crew of the No. 1 ship quickly boarded the boat and set off immediately!" ”

The last crew member had just jumped onto the fishing boat and just sat down on the deck, and 8154 had already driven a few meters away, closely following the anti-smuggling boat that was leaving the port in front.

The rear of the deck of 8154 is equipped with a rather large wooden trebuchet, and the front deck is equipped with a scorpion crossbow like in "Roman Total War", these two huge launchers are provided by the wood group, a large amount of wood and rattan ropes, and there is a Lin Shenhe, who claims to have smashed all weapons except the atomic bomb, is guiding, and the technical team temporarily made a trebuchet and a scorpion crossbow yesterday, which were directly installed on the No. 1 8154 ship. Because the Crossing Crowd now has no artillery at hand, and the battle at sea cannot rely entirely on small arms fire, so this ancient weapon can only be used as a naval gun, the scorpion crossbow requires two people to rotate the handle to wind up, and the giant arrow fired from it can penetrate the two-inch thick plank two hundred meters away, and the modified trebuchet can fire prefabricated fragmented fireworks, which is a means of striking at sea that can definitely endanger wooden ships. In addition, when they bought weapons at that time, they also bought dozens of RPGs and several sets of launchers. Now there is at least one set of RPGs on every boat, and this thing is definitely beyond the scope of cognition in this ancient world.

In this way, two ships, one large and one small, quickly headed for the "unknown enemy ship" at a speed of 14 knots.
