Black Mountain Kite Chen Hu, poisonous starling Chen Leopard brothers since following Chao Gai. Then he was discovered to have the ability to tame birds, and he mainly struggled in this field. Chen Bao, in particular, recruited a wide range of disciples and taught skills.

After more than a year of accumulation and development, there are thousands of information personnel in the base camp and various places, and more and more of these people are bringing apprentices. Specializing in pigeon breeding, pigeon breeding, receiving communications, and improving the intelligence network.

Chaojiazhuang, the back mountain of the military stronghold, used to be the station of the Shenji Battalion. Since the thunderous thunder Lingzhen and the technicians moved to Liangshan with the equipment. was poisoned starling Chen Bao applied to become a base for breeding domesticated carrier pigeons.

According to incomplete statistics, there are thousands of carrier pigeons in the base. Every month, a group of tame pigeons will be sent to the various armies and restaurant systems. As long as you build a nest in the right place, you can pass information back and forth.

Chen Bao hummed too much in his mouth, and the little black beard beat happily, indicating that he was in a very good mood. Holding a bowl and holding chopsticks, whistling from time to time, he personally fed a group of carrier pigeons purchased from Fujian Road.

It was dozens of very fat pigeons, with plumage as clear as snow, and glittering paws, which were larger than the other carrier pigeons, and they were wild and aggressive, constantly pecking at the cage and squeaking.

"Hey, hey, baby, baby, be nice......"

Chen Bao loves this job very much and feels that his talent has been unleashed. Feeding the pigeons, whistling, laughing and making a strange cry from time to time. The obscene and fanatical appearance made the busy soldiers in the base tremble.

At this time, a loud roar came from high in the distance. The flock of pigeons that had been hovering above the base were chirping incessantly, swishing through the air, and returning home one after another. Even the dozens of pigeons, which were bought with a lot of money, were originally vigorous and wild, and immediately wilted when they heard the whistling, and some even shrank into a ball and shivered, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

Chen Bao's whistle stopped abruptly, his smile stiffened, and he looked up gloomily. Birds of prey hunting have not been encountered rarely, and they are generally driven away, and they will be shot if they don't leave. Over time, there were no more birds of prey in the area.

I didn't expect it to come again!

Without his orders, hundreds of soldiers armed with bows and crossbows rushed to the battle.

Someone rang a gong to try to drive it away.

Unfortunately, the sound of the eagle is getting closer and closer, and a bird of prey flies from afar. Hovering high in the air above the base, and there is a faint pattern.

Chen Bao recognized that this was a landing signal, and hurriedly ordered to stop beating the gong and not to release arrows. Sure enough, not long after the silence below, the bird of prey in the sky began to circle and land, it was a bird of prey with wings spread two meters.

Chen Bao recognized at a glance that this was a golden eagle domesticated by his brother. Fingers into the mouth, cheeks on both sides of the cheeks, let out a strange scream.

Birds of prey in mid-air flew above him and circled overhead.

Chen Bao saw that the raptor had something tied to its legs, so he asked people to take some fresh beef and throw it on the ground, and took off the small bamboo tube when the golden eagle landed to peck at it. After noticing the letter inside, he quickly left the base.

When the note fell into Wu Yong's hand and saw the contents on it, a smile appeared on his fair face, it was the news and date of the return of the expedition fleet. I set off two days ago, and I arrived at this time, which shows how fast it is. It also proves that the method of using the golden eagle to communicate is completely feasible!

The fleet of voyages was at sea, and Chao Gai knew nothing about it.

One hundred and eighty warships formed a conical battle formation, riding the wind and waves in the sea along the course.

In addition to accompanying a few ladies to walk on the deck and enjoy the sea view, Chao Gai discussed army reform with Han Shizhong, Li Jun, Ruan Xiaoqi and others.

If it's really boring, I'll accompany my wife to play with musical instruments or catch fish myself.

In short, the road home is not boring!

After several days of sailing, the fleet was unlucky and encountered a medium to large storm. It was a terrible sight, dark clouds rolling in the sky, lightning and thunder, torrential rain pouring down, winds howling like a typhoon passing through, the sea setting off waves like capsizing, and the ships of the fleet scattered in all directions.

Fortunately, the team had the experience to deal with it in time, and the return boat was also loaded with bananas and wild fruits and other island specialties. Except for a few ships, whose masts were broken by strong winds because of their age, there were no casualties, and everything was in danger.

After the rain, the sky is clear, and after the storm is the harvest.

Compared with the time I came, the harvest was even more amazing.

This time, the fleet caught too many fish, and many ships plummeted due to overload. All kinds of seafood are immeasurable, and there are many deep-sea hairtail fish. Everyone ate with their bellies open, and everyone ate the seastuffs with all their strength, and the waistband of their trousers was loose and loose, jumping and jumping, and they couldn't eat it all in time.

It can only be salted or dried into dried fish and returned to the market for sale. This income alone is enough for the fleet to maintain its ships.

In the middle of October, it has entered the first season. I didn't feel it at sea, and the closer I got to Da Song, the colder it became, and they changed into winter military uniforms.

This time, there was no delay, and after four days of sailing at full speed at sea, he had already reached the waters near the Song Dynasty. Chao Gai asked Li Jun, the mixed sea dragon, and Tong Meng, the mirage, to lead ninety percent of the two thousand or less sea ships to return to Liangshan first.

He himself went to the Laizhou Naval Base!

In the few months since he left in May, Judao has completely changed. The southern harbor and dockyard are large, and the harbor is large enough. There are clusters of buildings along the coast, stretching to the shore with no end in sight.

Under the guidance of the master sent by Chaojiazhuang, the planning is neat, like a city. In addition to the aborigines, it is the recruited sailors and their families. The Judao pasture has also been established, and herds of cattle and sheep gallop across the grassland.

The most surprising thing for Chao Gai was the Red Whisker Dragon Fei Bao, the curly-haired tiger Ni Yun and others did not disappoint him, and there were more than ten Yantian Islands that were gradually developed. Due to the shortage of salt workers, large areas of salt pans could not be developed.

Even so, there are currently hundreds of thousands of stone sea salt every month. It is much stronger than the small workshops in the coastal cities of the Song Dynasty, and the quality is better.

Chao Gai arrived at the naval base and did not stay long, but only made some rounds. He ordered as many people as possible to become salt workers, and paid them monthly. In addition, the navy has strengthened training and patrols to ensure the safety of the salt pans.

Subsequently, the living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi led the existing headquarters to return to Liangshan to replace Zhang Shun. Since the big ship was almost taken away, five or six thousand materials were followed by more than a dozen swordfish boats, although the number was large, but it looked shabby.

"Brother, we don't have enough boats!!"

The only 2,000-material sea ship is also the flagship, and as soon as Chao Gai and a few ladies appeared on the deck, Ruan Xiaoqi burst out of the command room and shouted.

"Patience over time, and it will gradually get better." Chao Gai looked at this man, the other party was married, he was about to become a father, and he was so frizzy.

"You are a general of the first army, you must be calm, and you can't rely on your temperament to do things."

"Hey, hey, got it!" Ruan Xiaoqi touched his head.

At this time, a shout came from several ships: "Look, everyone, there is a ship ahead." ”

"Woo, woo, woo......"

The low sound of a horn sounded from the flagship lookout.

"All on alert, there is a situation!" Ruan Xiaoqi's face changed and he ran back to the command room.

Chao Gai looked over, and a layer of black spots appeared on the sea level in the distance. Quickly approaching this side, it was a series of warships, scattered in the middle of the voyage, showing a situation of encirclement. Then it suddenly accelerated, and the momentum rushed in.

Ruan Xiaoqi's department also has more than 20 ships, but the difference in magnitude is more than one and a half stars. The flags of the Jeju government and the Chao family army are very conspicuous.

With the command room's order, more than two dozen ships quickly contracted in formation. The standard-bearer waved the order flag and played the flag to indicate the identity of the official and military to the other party.

However, to no avail, the speed of this fleet remained unabated.

When the two sides close the distance, they can clearly see that it is a sea ship of 2,000 materials. Especially for the first few ships, at least 3,600 large ships. On the mast hung the flag of the government, most of them were coastal sailors. While patrolling, he noticed movement on the surface of the sea and pounced like a shark.

"Brother, it's Dengzhou Ping Navy!" Han Shizhong has seen a lot and immediately reminded.

"Dengzhou Marine?" Chao Gai muttered to himself, and suddenly a bad premonition welled up. Then a palpitation welled up, and there was a loud bang in the distance. He didn't think about it, so he hugged Li Qingzhao by his side and rolled to the ground.

The other party is pregnant, Chao Gai can only be put on the deck as a meat pad, and at the same time hug the woman, trying not to let her exercise vigorously.

And just when the two of them fell!

The sound of "whirring" violently broke through the air from far and near, and with a whoosh, a crossbow arrow about three feet long and the thickness of a child's arm passed through the place where the two had stood before. With a click, the bolt castrated, nailed to the hatch behind him, and its tail buzzed and trembled.

Damn, this is a bed crossbow!

Chao Gai's pupils shrank, and then the murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and the Ping Navy fleet in front knew that it was a fleet but turned a blind eye, so arrogant? Sure enough, as Zou uncle and nephew said, he likes extortion.

Because this change was too sudden, Li Qingzhao in his arms was still in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the trembling crossbow arrows with a white face. Looking at the man who was pressed under him and hugged him tightly, his eyes were moist.

As the saying goes, adversity sees true love!

In this dangerous situation, the other party thinks about himself. At the moment of falling, he deliberately changed his position and smashed himself on the deck to protect himself from injury. Life is short, but you can marry this kind of husband, and you have no regrets in this life!

"Sister, are you okay?" Li Qingwan, who was on the other side, rushed over. Jerodari and Huazi pounced, and everyone was a little happy in their hearts. Another big-bellied woman, Li Shishi and Hu Sanniang, were not present because of something. If everyone gets together, the consequences are unimaginable.

The bolt is still buzzing and trembling!

"Ahh Brother, are you alright? Straight, kill them for me. Han Shizhong, Chen Hu reacted and rushed over with a loud roar.

The three hundred guards on the ship sensed that something was wrong, and some of them pulled out their swords and waited for them. Someone took his bow and aimed his arrows at the onrushing fleet. Others rushed into the cabin and took out a series of powerful divine arm bows.

Ruan Xiaoqi in the command room also saw this thrilling scene and was furious. The angry roar gave the order, and the feeling of contraction quickly dissipated, and the sailors on the ship bent their bows and arrows, and some people scolded.

"Straight thief, thief bird, are you dogs blind?"
