Chapter 80: The Camp of Xiyue Harbor

Cheng Yun finally agreed to the matter of saltpeter and sulfur, on the condition that the Cheng family would share a share after making gunpowder.

Even if the gunpowder matter is decided, when the raw materials are shipped, the trial production can be carried out, but that is already after the beginning of spring next year, and now it is almost the end of November, and in more than half a month, the river will begin to freeze.

The next day, Pan Xiaogu boarded the fleet to Xianyue Township, accompanied by the last group of more than 300 soldiers and his personal guards, and several people from Zhichong Mansion would also go with him.

During Pan Xiaogu's expedition, the internal affairs of the territory were presided over by Mo Lao, and the security of the territory was also taken care of by Pan Xiaogu's cheap cousin Pan Xiaohe.

With a large number of soldiers supported by Cheng Yang's family, Xize Township can pull up a militia of more than 10,000 people at any time.

In addition, the girls of the Mulan camp were also stayed, even if a group of girls led by Nanyun tried their best to beg all day long, they almost rolled on the ground, but Pan Xiaogu just didn't let go, the army is the army, and the order must be forbidden, and the girls of the Mulan camp could only helplessly obey the order in the end, staying in the territory and continuing to fight and catch wolves.

Speaking of the wild wolves in the territory, it is really suitable to be the pet of the beast master. Both physical fitness and sensory intelligence are far superior to ordinary wolves, and after the contract, the original wildness disappeared and became very obedient.

Now there are six beast warriors who have contracted wild wolves, there is no way, these wild wolves are too difficult to catch alive, and under the premise of prioritizing the safety of personnel, they have only succeeded in catching so many in more than three months.

Taking advantage of the wolf's superior sense of smell and hearing, these six beast warriors were specially responsible for keeping vigil and tracking in the army, and when the number increased, they would be sent to the battlefield.

In addition to these six beast masters who contracted with wild wolves, there were also four people who contracted birds of prey such as eagles and falcons, which was inspired by Pan Xiaogu when he saw Cheng Yun and others using harrier eagles to send letters.

The Beast Warriors can share the vision of the contract pets, and after contracting the Falcon pets, these four Beast Masters directly transform into human drones and become the main force of battlefield reconnaissance!

Of course, these Cheng Yun and the others didn't know, and they thought that these four people were Pan Xiaogu's messengers who secretly contacted Persia.

As the hidden strength of Wuhe Town was revealed little by little, Cheng Yun was surprised, and he became more and more confirmed by Pan Xiaogu's fabricated identity as an Persian 'overseas Chinese'.

Cheng Yun and others thought that the purpose of these Persian overseas Chinese was to take advantage of the chaos in Persia and take the opportunity to divide one side, but because their own strength was not enough, they sent the Pan Xiaogu family back to Anxi, in order to establish a relationship with the Tang Dynasty and strive for assistance.

Sure enough, the brain supplement is invincible.

It took only one day for the fleet to arrive at the port of Xiyue.

The reason for this is that the boat is large, and it can take the route with a faster current in the middle of the river, which is naturally faster than when I took the fishing boat before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Xiyue Harbor." Pan Xiaogu stood at the bow of the boat and introduced to the few people in the Zhichong Mansion behind him

These days, they are transporting materials and people, and Cheng Yun and others are not blind and deaf, so they can't guess that there are other strongholds in Wuhe Town.

So after seeing the prosperous Xiyue Port, which is not under the railway, I didn't seem surprised at all.

Only Song Jiang, who had been to the neighborhood before, was a little puzzled, he didn't remember that there was a big island here, but because of the system's distorted cognition, Song Jiang didn't think much about it, he just thought that he remembered it wrong.

"Lord Thorn Shi has worked hard all the way."

As soon as they landed, Pan Xiaofeng, Zhao Wu and others stepped forward, and behind the two of them was Ma Decai, the village chief of Xiyuegang, and several people saluted Pan Xiaogu together.

"Lord Thorn Shi, as well as all the military masters, the younger ones are preparing wine and food at home..."

"Don't be in a hurry to eat first, report the situation first, talk while walking, go to the barracks first."

Before Ma Decai finished speaking, Pan Xiaogu directly interrupted him, this Ma Decai is very capable, but he likes to drill camps too much, Pan Xiaogu doesn't want this kind of atmosphere to affect the army.

Ma Decai has had a lot of contact with people in the army in the past few days, and he has already figured out the temperament of these soldiers, but he didn't expect that when Pan Xiaogu was in the army, he was also this kind of vigorous and resolute style, and he just touched the nail, but he knew that this was the atmosphere in the army, so he was not angry, but made a look of sudden enlightenment

"It's the villain who is confused, and the adults still have military planes to talk about. The villain went back and asked his family to send the food to the adults to the barracks, and the adults would eat it after discussing the military plane. ”

After saying that, Ma Decai was about to leave, Pan Xiaogu appreciated Ma Decai's knowledge, and shouted with a smile at his back.

"Village Chief Ma has a heart, remember not to send wine."

Ma Decai looked back and said with a smile on his face

"Villain's saved."

After Ma Decai left, Pan Xiaogu put away his smiling face and motioned to the other two to let them report to work.

"The camp of the army is on the west side of the town, and it is well placed for the army. The warm clothes that the adults specially ordered to prepare are almost stocked, and they will be ready in five days. ”

The first to report was Pan Xiaofeng, who was appointed by Pan Xiaogu as the chief of staff of the expeditionary force, and Pan Xiaogu was not in charge of commanding the army, responsible for establishing a large camp in Xiyuegang and preparing all kinds of materials needed for the expedition.

"No, it's still a little slow, it may snow at any time after December, we must leave before the snow falls, I will give you three more days to prepare my warm clothes!" There is no rain in summer and autumn in the Wuhe area, and there is a lot of rain and snow in winter and spring, and once it begins to fall on a large scale, it is likely to affect Pan Xiaogu's advance plan.

Pan Xiaofeng wanted to fight for another day of grace, but before he could speak, he heard his cousin leave the next sentence

"It's an order!"

Then he couldn't come up with any excuses, so he racked his brains and thought about how he could squeeze out two days.

"Zhao Wu, how is the preparation of the advance camp, can you ensure the advance of the army?" Pan Xiaogu no longer paid attention to his cousin and turned his head to look at Zhao Wu.

In addition to Zhao Wu's responsibility for gathering Persian domestic intelligence, Pan Xiaogu also asked him to establish an advance base in the valley that could supply the army.

These bases also served as logistics supply depots and retreats for large armies.

"The advance camp is basically ready, we have built a base every fifty miles in the big valley, and they are all set up not far from the river according to the requirements of the adults, each base can accommodate a hundred soldiers to garrison, and now the subordinates are supervising the transfer of grain and grass, and before the snow falls, we can ensure that enough food and grass are stored in each base for three days."

"Well done. The preparation of grain and grass must be completed as soon as possible..."Pan Xiaogu praised, at this time, several people had already come to the military camp outside Xiyue Port, a few people took a turn in the camp, and saw that the entire camp was in good order, and the last wave of soldiers who had just disembarked were lining up to receive personal equipment, the scene was orderly and very efficient.

"Xiaofeng is doing a good job." Pan Xiaogu turned his head and praised his cousin again

Several people came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and as soon as they entered the big tent, Pan Xiaogu asked about the situation in Persia

"What is the situation in Persia?"
