Zhou Taisi nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "You're right! Maybe I'm overthinking! ”

Zhou Tai and Gan Ning came out of the big tent and headed straight for Alex's camp near the desert under the escort of more than 100 personal soldiers. The previous introduction of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is a bit fallacious, the land camps here of the Wei army should be three, in addition to the camps near the water village and the rocky beach, there is also this camp near the desert, but almost all of the camps in this camp are Alex's army.

When Zhou Tai and Gan Ning arrived outside Alex's camp, they heard shouts from the camp that shook the sky.

Gan Ning laughed and said, "Listening to this shout, it seems to be very good!" Let's go, go inside! ”

The group rode through the gate without being stopped by the guards.

When I came to the big battle field in the barracks, I saw tens of thousands of sergeants practicing battle formations under the guidance of Wei army instructors, and everyone looked highly motivated, which was an obvious benefit of the alliance with the Wei army.

Alex stood on the podium in military uniform, with a heroic posture, and behind her stood Xu Zheng, the deputy general of the Imperial Forest Army, who was now the commander of the Wei Army's instructors.

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai left their soldiers outside the school field and boarded the general platform.

Alex clenched her fists at the two, which was the etiquette of the Han people.

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai returned the salute and came to Alex's side.

Alex said with emotion: "After more than two months of training, they have been reborn!" ”

Zhou Tai smiled slightly. Gan Ning picked the corners of his mouth and shook his head.

Alex hurriedly asked, "General Ganning seems to think that my army is inappropriate?" ”

Gan Ning said: "It's not a secret! The army under the command of Lord Earl is not as good as the local garrison of our army! ”

Alex said unconvinced: "I know that the elite of the Wei army is the best in the world, but the garrison is just a local army, how can my people not even be as good as the garrison!" ”

Gan Ning pointed to the thousands of troops on the left who were changing formations under the guidance of the instructor and said: "The conversion between the circle formation and the phalanx is the most basic tactic, and the most critical thing is time, if the change of formation is too long, it will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of!" Alex nodded thoughtfully.

Gan Ning said: "Look at it, these troops under your command took nearly half an hour to change formations!" If you are against our Wei army, you don't need elite cavalry, just the light cavalry of the local garrison army to break your line in one go! You must know that when the formation is changed, the defense is the weakest! ”

Alex clasped her fists at Gan Ning and said, "Thank you for the general's advice!" ”

Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Aren't you angry?" ”

Alex was stunned for a moment, and said sincerely: "The general instructed Alex, how could Alex be angry?" ”

Gan Ning couldn't help but look at Alex with admiration, glanced at the army on the school ground, thought for a moment, and said, "I think you still have a question!" ”

Alex looked humbly seeking advice.

Gan Ning said: "You are disciplined! Gan Ning shook his head.

Alex glanced at his troops and nodded thoughtfully, "What the general said is extremely true! Thank you, General! ”

"One more point! The Romans are good at positional warfare, and it's almost impossible for you to compete with them on this! So I think the focus of your training should be on the sports side of war! ”

Alex thought of the previous battle with the Roman army, and couldn't help but nod her head, and thanked her sincerely: "Thank you for the reminder, General!" ”

Gan Ning grinned, "Okay! I'm done talking nonsense! Leave! After the words fell, he walked off the stage by himself, and Zhou Tai hugged his fist at Alex, "Farewell!" "Followed.

Alex clenched her fist at the two of them.

Looking back, looking at his own army on the school ground, he couldn't help frowning.

A few days later, a convoy of 15 cargo ships and five ballistae sailed from the Wei naval base in the Persian Gulf to the Red Seas. The crew's faces all had a look of exhaustion.

"Commander, there's only one day's sailing away from your destination!" An officer came to the Navy commander in charge of the escort and reported to him. The commander breathed a sigh of relief and commanded, "Tell the brothers, cheer me up!" Stick to it for a day and get a good rest! ”

"Yes!"

At this moment, the sentry in charge of the lookout on the mainmast suddenly shouted: "A fleet has been spotted ahead!" ”

The commander looked in the direction the lookout was pointing, but saw nothing, and muttered, "It should be our fleet!" ”

Despite this, the commander ordered the fleet to slow down, and ordered the ballista ships in charge of escorting them to prepare for battle.

However, the ships that received the order did not feel the slightest nervousness, and they all thought that the fleet that appeared was their own!

After a quarter of an hour, the Commander was able to see the flags of the opposing fleet.

The Commander was stunned for a moment, "That's not right! We don't seem to have such a ship! ”

His heart moved, and his face changed, "Not good! This is not our fleet, it's the Romans! Immediately alert General Gan Ning! ”

A moment later, the roar of ballistas broke the silence on the sea, and the light of the fire reflected the setting sun on the horizon.

Soon after, Gan Ning received a warning summons from them.

Gan Ning was shocked and hurriedly ordered the fleet to go to the rescue, but was stopped by Zhou Tai.

"Xingba, it's too late to rescue at this time! It is very likely that the other party has set up an ambush against us, and if we rush to attack, it is very likely that we will be ambushed by them! ”

Gan Ning said angrily: "What should I do then? Just watching? ”

Zhou Taisi pondered: "At present, the enemy situation is unknown, and the first task is to find out the deployment of the other party!" ”

Gan Ning calmed down and nodded: "Notify the Intelligence Agency of this matter, and at the same time increase the patrol force!" ”

Zhou Tai nodded, "I also want to inform Zilong of this situation and ask him to stop supplying us here for the time being!" But then our supply here is interrupted! ”

Gan Ning said: "It doesn't matter if it's in a short time! If it's a long time, it's troublesome! ”

Zhou Taidao: "You must prepare for the worst!" If we can't push the Romans back, then we'll have to find other ways to solve the logistical problems! ”

Gan Ning nodded, "Youping, what can you do?" ”

Zhou Taisi thought: "The 50,000 acres of paddy fields we reclaimed before are about to be harvested!" That's enough for us for half a year! With our previous reserves, we can support it for seven months! ”

Gan Ning laughed and said, "I thought the problem was so serious!" It didn't turn out to be a problem! ”

Zhou Tai nodded and said, "If we can repel the attack of the Roman navy within seven months, then there will be no problem!" But it seems easy, but it's not easy! We have to be proactive, but as things stand, it's risky! ”

The surprise attack of the Romans temporarily cut off the Wei outpost from the rear, but the situation did not seem to be very serious. But then a storm from the sea changed the situation.

The storm enveloped the entire area, the strong wind weighed down the trees, the tents in the Wei camp whirred in the wind, and many soldiers desperately stabilized the tents.

A corner of a tent was suddenly lifted, and a soldier next to him was overturned to the ground, and then a strong wind rushed into the tent, and the whole tent was violently lifted into the sky.

"General, the paddy field embankment has been washed away!" A soldier rushed to Gan Ning and reported urgently.

"What?!" Gan Ning was taken aback.

Turning his head to a personal soldier beside him, he said, "Go and tell General Zhou Tai that this place is handed over to him, and I will go to the paddy field to have a look!" ”

"Yes!"

Gan Ning and a few of his own soldiers rushed to the edge of the paddy field not far from the camp, only to see that the rice field, which had been yellowed, had turned into a vast sea, and it was still setting off a lot of waves in the strong wind, and the turbulent water was pouring into the rice field from the gap in the opposite embankment.

Gan Ning couldn't help but feel helpless.

"Quick! Go back to the camp and transfer all the troops that can be transferred to me! Gan Ning ordered urgently.

The soldiers answered the promise and immediately ran towards the camp.

A day later, the raging storm finally stopped, but the sky was still overcast.

After a busy day, the soldiers were extremely tired, and many fell asleep leaning on the muddy mud floor.

The barracks were in shambles, most of the tents were no longer what they were, some were missing, and some soldiers were cleaning up the mess in the barracks.

Gan Ning returned to the barracks with several of his own soldiers.

When Zhou Tai saw it, he hurriedly greeted him and asked urgently, "How is the situation in the paddy field?" ”

Gan Ning shook his head, "Most of the rice fields have been washed away!" Damn it! This thief, my God! ”

Zhou Tai frowned, "How many are left?" ”

"Not much!"

Zhou Tai was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Xingba, our situation is very serious!" ”

Gan Ning nodded, "I know!" It seems that we have to take the initiative! By the way, how are our ships? ”

Zhou Taidao: "The ships are nothing, only a few small boats are damaged!" ”

Gan Ning had an idea, "Youping, I have an idea!" ”

Zhou Tai looked at Gan Ning curiously.

Gan Ning said: "The other party's fleet will definitely not dare to stay in the open sea for a long time in such weather, and it will definitely return to the base first!" We can."

Gan Ning said his thoughts.

Zhou Tai said in disbelief: "Xingba, I can't think of you"

"Didn't expect that? Could it be that I, Gan Ning, am a reckless man in your eyes? Actually, my wisdom is very deep! Yuluo laughed.

Zhou Tai smiled. "That's a good idea!" Just a little risky! ”

Gan Ning waved his hand, "If you want to win, how can you not take risks!" ”

Zhou Tai nodded.

Moments later, the docks, which had just weathered the storm, were busy again, and the sailors were carrying supplies such as fire oil and crossbow arrows onto the ship.

Coast.

A fleet sailed out of a reef circle in the middle of the sea, the whole fleet clearly showing signs of being ravaged by the storm, many of the ships had broken masts, some of them were tilted, and sailors were scooping water outboard. The scale of this fleet is not small, there are more than 100 large and small ships, and the ship type is very different from that of the Wei army, but there is no national flag on the mast.
