Chapter 414: One Hundred Spies 1
In addition to plate armor, the Yaning horse rifle equipped by their dragoons is also an extremely sharp weapon, this double-barreled rifle carefully made by Yaning craftsmen can shoot twice during the rapid advance of the cavalry, although the range is only about 50 meters, but in the case of fast horses, it can provide a range of about 60 meters, which is a very effective weapon to break the formation in the process of attacking the enemy ranks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 In addition to the horse rifles they are issued, the dragoons can also purchase their favorite weapons at their own expense, so most dragoons are equipped with two rifles, and even more will carry three rifles to fight.
These dragoons are not in a wartime state now, so everyone is just riding a horse, and their muskets are also packed and placed on the back of a second horse led by the side, and there is no need to rush this kind of march, so except for the reconnaissance team that went out, the other dragoons are slowly advancing on horseback, the purple banner of the dragoons is slowly fluttering in the wind, and the lion banner of Medeno is also held in the hands of the dragoons on the side.
In addition to the two squadrons that followed the rear were axe and gun squadrons, the others were musket teams, and the marching army column was followed by a mighty transport convoy, these transport vehicles were basically requisitioned from the wealthy families in Hue, or they were snatched from the common people along the way, and the valuable materials on the cart were never returned, and they were all directly moved away in a complete set, with grain and grass for grain and grass, and goods for goods. When it came time to set up camp, there were often naked women tied up in the barracks for these Maidno people to eat.
If it is said that this kind of ** behavior is absolutely not allowed in the Meideno military camp in peacetime, but at the moment, because they need to go to Jiezhen to help the Annan people guard the border, then this can help the army maintain morale, so the officers often turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. In their words, it is also appropriate to help Annan guard the border and capture some Annan women to come and serve the Medeno warriors. The only result of this kind of thing is that more than a dozen dead women are always brought out every morning when the camp is pulled, and the vacated places of these women can only be caught along the way.
Good things don't go out, evil deeds go thousands of miles, and the news that a group of thousands of Meideno thieves is heading north to Jiezhen spread, and the people on the hundreds of miles of roads along the way have already fled with their families. If you can't escape, you try to hide all the rations at home, and if you are a woman, you will send them to hide, and you have to apply ashes to the bottom of the pot on your face before hiding them.
In addition to the Medeno soldiers, he was accompanied by thousands of Annamam troops. Although these soldiers did not have any patriotic enthusiasm, it was not a happy trip to see others raping their compatriots, so every time they pulled out the camp along the way, dozens of Annan soldiers fled, unwilling to be accomplices of such a shameless army. These Annan soldiers can be regarded as working more than cattle and eating worse than pigs, no one has ever cared where they sleep, and the camps they have set up are not allowed to enter, and now more and more Annan soldiers are secretly connecting in tandem, waiting for the escape at night.
At this time, two Annan soldiers caught up from behind, trotting all the way to chase the material convoy behind, Russell couldn't help but twitch his face, and secretly said This is strange, there are still people who can catch up if they fall behind. The two Annan soldiers trotted all the way into the marching queue, and immediately saw what was going on, one with a cart and the other with a companion who couldn't carry things. Russell had no interest in these Annan soldiers at all, but after a glance, he continued to look at his army.
"Brother Li, how is it? Can you carry it? "Nonsense, don't ask nonsense, just push your car." The person being asked just scolded in a low voice and continued to walk forward with his head down.
These two people are none other than the new intelligence officers of the Army Intelligence Bureau, Li Ming and Zhou Rui. Speaking of dawn, this Annan peasant who was once called Li Dan can be regarded as a miraculous life journey, he and Zhou Rui were both captured by the barbarians near Wenshan Port, and were sent to the front to die almost at the same time, and then miraculously encountered the collapse of the barbarian army and were rescued. Li Dan was renamed by Liu Xiu and became an ordinary Annan native in Beiqiaotou Town, and then joined the New Army when the New Army expanded, and then reorganized into the Foreign Legion, and was accidentally discovered by Liu Xu in the later battle, and Liu Xu selected him to become an agent of the Army Intelligence Bureau.
However, with Liu Xu's sacrifice under the city of Zhancheng Port, the entire Army Intelligence Bureau was suddenly leaderless. Ren Xuefeng, who had been following the example in the counterintelligence department, was dug up by the Senate at this time, and was ordered to take charge of the mess of the Army Intelligence Bureau.
Although Ren Xuefeng said that he had a certain foundation, after all, there were still some gaps in the intelligence interpretation work, and for now he could only continue to lie on the original foundation and slowly restore the original structure of the intelligence bureau. Zhou Rui soon came with his master and also became an intelligence officer of the Army Intelligence Bureau. The work of the Intelligence Bureau is to collect and analyze all the intelligence, and Liu Xu only focused on analyzing the intelligence before, and did not pay attention to the things collected, and often only inquired about the news from the Annan people who came to Dongfang Port to purchase goods. But how can those people tell the truth? Often, they will say whatever you like to hear, and if there is a problem with the source of intelligence, the results of the analysis will naturally be wrong, and in the end, it will also lead to Liu Xu's own sacrifice.
As soon as Ren Xuefeng took over, he naturally couldn't repeat Liu Xu's mistakes, Liu Xu always complained that the special investigation team had not been able to train agents for them, so he was always reluctant to send intelligence personnel to reconnoiter behind enemy lines. Ren Xuefeng's approach was the opposite, and he even sent six groups of agents to infiltrate Annan to collect intelligence at the beginning. These agents are often in groups of three, one person is responsible for liaison, two are responsible for gathering intelligence, and the agents in charge of liaison carry carrier pigeons, and if they need to pass on information, they will directly send the information through carrier pigeons back to a Chuang Zi located outside Hue City, which has been purchased by the Army Intelligence Bureau. The intelligence officers in Zhuangzi then transmitted it by radio back to the headquarters of the Intelligence Bureau - yes, it was a radio ...... Shui Wangtai, the patriarch of the so-called senate money bag, also has a special ability, that is, he is familiar with the tube, ore radio plus logic circuits, and even as long as there are materials, there is no special difficulty in making early non-intelligent electrical appliances. Therefore, with the support of the special R&D department of the Senate, the Intelligence Bureau approached Shui Wangtai to develop a radio station together. After all, there are too many disadvantages of transmitting carrier pigeons, and it is troublesome to transport carrier pigeons back and forth, and carrier pigeons often have various accidents on the way, such as being preyed on by people or animals, disorientation, etc., which will affect the dissemination of information. There is no such possibility with radio, there will be no wireless signal detection vehicles in this time and space, and no one will have the ability to interfere with radio signals, so the transmission channel of the intelligence bureau is simply unimpeded and unavoided. Intelligence transmission is not a problem, but intelligence collection is still a problem, there are too many things to pay attention to in training agents, fortunately, no one will have the means to buy agents than the Senate, so I don't worry about the secret service being bribed and defecting, and because there is no force in this time and space that has the ability to counter-espionage, no matter which force is like a big intelligence sieve, there is no concept of secrecy, but it also lowers the standard of training agents, Therefore, Liming, an agent who basically didn't understand, followed Zhou Rui, who carried the "Quick Reader for Intelligence Officer Training" compiled by the Senate in his arms, and went deep behind enemy lines.
There were three of them, and one agent was walking through the woods with a cage of four pigeons on his back. When they have to rest, the liaison will leave a secret message outside to agree on a meeting place, and Zhou Rui and Liming will go in together to collect information. The three of them were originally deployed in the field at the Hue intelligence station, and not long ago they suddenly discovered that a group of thousands of Maidno Marine Corps had begun to advance westward from their station. After discussion, the intelligence station decided that it was best to follow along and collect some relevant information, after all, it was best to understand the situation of such a large-scale transfer, and it was best to follow up and blend in - at least that's what Zhou Rui's textbook wrote.
They followed them for several days at the beginning, and they couldn't find a chance, and finally yesterday afternoon they met two Annan deserters, and after asking them to no avail, they directly changed their uniforms with them for a tael of silver, and simply mixed in, and then escaped after understanding the situation.
At the moment, the two of them naturally blended into this army of lewd thieves, and the Maidno people were completely unsuspecting of the two of them, except for telling them to push harder and hurry, they didn't even interrogate them.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" A Medeno officer rode over and waved his hand in the air with a leather whip, "Which of you is the officer?" ”
"What about the hundred households?" "That's it, what about Lord Baihu?" An Nanbing suddenly pushed Liming's shoulder, "Lord Baihu, why are you here?" ”
Dawn was stunned for a moment, "Me? I couldn't help but stutter. Zhou Rui knew that it was very dangerous at this time, Liming was a simple guy, and if he couldn't say a word, it would be easy to show his stuff. Hurriedly leaned over and looked at it a little, it turned out that there was really a hundred households waist card hanging on the belt of his military uniform, and I don't know if it was stolen by the deserter or if he was really a hundred households. Zhou Rui hurriedly shouted, "You fool, what are you doing?" I asked you to help me pick up the waist card, why didn't you give it to me when you picked it up? As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Dawn, who hurriedly untied the waist card and handed it over.
At this time, Zhou Rui unhurriedly hung the waist card on his waist, turned to the Medeno officer and arched his hand, "I don't know what's going on?" This Medeno officer was stunned for a moment, he had been dealing with the group of Annan soldiers behind him for the past few days, and the Annan soldiers, whether they were officers or soldiers, were silent when they saw him, and they only knew only about his orders. But today I feel completely different, this hundred households actually look calm, as if they are talking to each other. But it was none of his business, he said quickly, "General Russell has an order, spend the night here tonight, and you must prepare to camp here at once!" ”
"Understood," Zhou Rui nodded at him, then turned around and ordered, "Dawn, you go and see with them, where to camp, I will take someone to wait here, and we will start camping and preparing after you come back." ”
Zhou Rui is actually taking a big risk now, you must know that he and Liming only joined this team a few minutes ago, but they inexplicably became one of the hundred households. Judging from the number of these soldiers, it stands to reason that there should be a thousand households here, and it is easy for him to show his stuffing as a hundred-household Yue Jie Dai, but he has to do this, otherwise he will show his stuffing earlier.
Liming hurriedly saluted and followed the Medeno officer to see the terrain, leaving Zhou Rui standing in place. Zhou Rui still looked calm, and a few soldiers next to him quietly looked at him for a while, and finally someone couldn't help but come over, "My lord, you are not our hundred households, right?" ”
"How not?" Zhou Rui gave him a farewell, as if he had always been a hundred households, "You hundred households sold you to me, and I spent a hundred taels of silver." This was said in a high-sounding manner, which made this group of soldiers stunned, a hundred taels of silver! Three taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to have no worries about food and clothing for more than half a year, and one hundred taels will be taken out, and if they are a hundred households, they will be sold.
"You all listen to me," Zhou Rui beckoned to Annan Bing who was still stunned in the distance, "Lao Tzu is Zhou Rui from Wenshan Port, his family has some assets, I heard that there is going to be a war now, so I specially came here to buy a hundred household identity, if I go to the front line to fight, everyone must fight with their hearts, if they die, I will pay for the bereavement pension myself, ten taels for the dead, twelve taels for the injured, and fifty taels for meritorious service!" As he spoke, he waved his hand again, "Let's play the majesty of the Annan people!" ”
"My lord, where is this going to war?" An old sergeant who looked to be in his fifties coughed twice and said, "This is to change the guard in Jiezhen, and you can't fight at all, you spent this money in the wrong place." ”
"What?" Zhou Rui looked surprised, "That guy told me that he was going to fight, and he didn't want to sell you to me because he was afraid of death." ”
"You've been deceived," the old sergeant could only cough twice more and then said, "We're not here to change guards, we're just following the handymen who came to do chores and help these Maidno people move things, and those Maidno people are going to change guards, I heard that they are going to replace the South Shore Army and go to Zhancheng Port to fight the old emperor." ”
