81. Perfect means of communication

With carrier pigeons, it can quickly transmit information between places, and it is not a problem to fly very long distances across states and counties, and it cannot be known by the enemy, of course, the disadvantages are also obvious, carrier pigeons can only identify fixed locations, and cannot rely on them to communicate with moving troops.

On the other hand, falcons are the opposite of carrier pigeons, flying short distances but much faster, and more importantly, they recognize people and can easily find troops scattered around in wartime.

With these three things, it is possible to form three kinds of communication networks in the far, middle and near distances, and the speed of transmitting information can be increased several times or even dozens of times, as long as it can succeed, Liu Qi is confident that he can defeat all the current armies on this basis alone.

However, these are not things that can be achieved in ten days and a half months, and they will not be able to start arranging until they have a firm foothold in Yuzhang.

Thinking about it, Liu Qi was very narcissistic and smirked, and suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and then there was a warmth on his face.

"Oops! Throwing knives, how many times have you been told, don't lick @ my mouth! ”

The status of the flying knife in the army is very high, and when the generals in the Chinese army are discussing the matter, it has to go in to join in the fun, look east and smell, and finally urinate in the corner and then leave gracefully, as if entering a no-man's land, thanks to the big mouth of Gao Tan and others, everyone knows the origin of the flying knife and Liu Qi's love for it, and the generals are not good at upsetting Liu Qi for a dog, so when the flying knife swaggered into Liu Qi's tent, the guards at the door did not even raise the corner of their eyes, causing Liu Qi to be suddenly attacked again.

Gently patting the buttocks of the flying knife a few times as punishment, Liu Qi took out the air-dried rabbit meat and teased the flying knife to pass the time, while continuing to think about the plan just now.

"Yes, you're a big part of it!"

Liu Qi suddenly figured out a key question, happily hugged the flying knife and touched its head affectionately.

How to maintain communication in these extreme situations, when the night is almost a forbidden area for warfare, when birds are inactive, when fireworks directly expose your troops, and when it comes to bad weather such as snowstorms and heavy rains, these two methods will be completely ineffective?

Dogs!

Dogs are not limited by the weather and night, and are reliable and hidden, and there is no problem with military dogs to transmit information within a range of more than ten kilometers, in addition, dogs can also give early warning of enemy attacks, track the enemy, counter-reconnaissance, etc., and will play an important role in the war without electronic technology.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles!

As long as he has perfect means of communication, Liu Qi can conduct long-range reconnaissance, grasp the enemy's situation in a timely manner, and then calmly deploy his subordinates to ambush, attack, outflank, and encircle......

The clever flying knife seemed to know that it was he who made the master feel good, and he grabbed Liu Qi's sleeve and pulled it back, Liu Qi knew that it was asking him for merit and reward!

Everything will not be carried out until Yuzhang settles down, and it will take a year at the earliest to achieve initial results, and then there will not be such an easy time as now.

"Alright, alright, I'll follow you, let's go hunting!"

The flying knife shouted excitedly and rushed out of the tent, and Liu Qi followed and ordered the guards to prepare the horses, bows and arrows.

Zhao Rong knew that he had some misunderstandings about Liu Qi before, and he felt a little sorry in his heart, so the thousand people left to Liu Qi were absolutely the best of the best, and the two hundred elite riders would naturally not be left behind.

One of the two hundred people is named Cai Yang, and the other is Du Jie, Liu Qi gets along with Du Jie a lot in Zhao Zhen's mansion, and he is an old acquaintance, so Cai Yang is also a cheerful man, and he has been very familiar with Liu Qi like Du Jie in the past few days.

Naturally, there is no need for such a large formation of two hundred people to hunt, and the two of them must leave one on duty in the camp, and after being depressed for several days, of course they are not willing to let go of such a good opportunity to relax, but they have to decide like an arrow, and Cai Yang, who won the victory, happily took his own headquarters and set off with Liu Qihao.

Liu Qi's original intention was just to go for a walk around the camp, but he didn't expect that the enthusiasm of the soldiers was far higher than his, Cai Yang didn't want to favor one over the other, so he had to bring a hundred people, what was originally a very casual thing suddenly became extremely formal, Cai Yang took care to divide the people into five teams, some were responsible for startling the prey, some were responsible for interception, and some were responsible for outflanking......

The five teams are very efficient in performing their own duties, but unfortunately all the hare that come out in winter are some hares, and there are no exciting large prey in Liu Qi's trophies.

Near the time of the unitary (five o'clock in the afternoon), when Liu Qi, who was about to return to the camp, his subordinates in front found a fox, although the color of the fox's fur was ordinary, it was far greater than the temptation of the rabbit, and Liu Qi immediately urged the horse to whip up.

The fox is the most difficult animal to hunt, and everyone is not familiar with the terrain, until the sun does not enter the distant mountains Liu Qi also failed to succeed, seeing that the sky is about to be completely dark, Liu Qi had to give up and order to return to the camp.

In order to chase the fox, it was already far away from the camp at this time, Cai Yang asked the ten horsemen to take the prey and rush back to the camp first, and the rest of the men and horses lit torches and slowly walked back.

Without the warm sunshine, the mountain breeze seemed to be extremely cheerful as if it had finally waited for the restraints to disappear, and there were strange noises blowing through the woods, Liu Qi felt even more cold, and couldn't help but tighten his neckline to urge Cai Yang to speed up.

Cai Yang, who had rough skin and thick flesh, didn't feel cold at all, and still laughed loudly with his subordinates in his sheepskin robe, and he didn't feel sorry for the fox just now.

"Hu Laosi, you idiot, if your team had blocked that sharp-mouthed beast here just now and burned it out with a fire, would it still be able to escape?"

At this time, the team has just passed a bend, there are no people in this vicinity and there is no road at all, they are walking on a river that has long dried up, extremely wide, here is a U-shaped big bend, in the bend is a gentle slope, the slope is extremely dense with trees, behind the slope is a large section of cliff several miles long, although only about seven or eight meters high, but enough to block the fox's retreat, if the party can block the fox in the forest, Liu Qi can have one more fox fur enclosure.

Glancing at the whining forest under the cold wind, Liu Qi's heart tightened for no reason, the flying knife sitting on the saddle suddenly pricked up his ears, and then stood up violently and barked at the forest, Liu Qi's heart shook and stopped, looking up at the dense forest, at this moment the light was extremely dim, and the black and oppressive forest was like a beast lying on the ground and waiting to open its eyes to lock on its prey.

It's him!

It's Zhang Jiao!

That cold and hideous gaze appeared many times in Liu Qi's nightmares, although they were far away, Liu Qi still clearly felt that the familiar pair of fierce lights were staring at him tightly!

"There is an ambush! Shoot the arrows! ”

Liu Qi didn't hesitate at all, grabbed the bow and arrow hanging next to the saddle, and used all his strength to shoot the feather arrow towards the deep darkness.

"Throw away the torches! Alternate cover! ”

Although Cai Yang and the others around him didn't know what was going on, they instinctively picked up their bows and arrows and shot them in the direction pointed by Liu Qi, Cai Yang's order and feather arrows flew out almost at the same time, and then pulled up Liu Qi's reins with the bow in one hand and the other hand, and pressed the horse's belly with both legs to urge the horse to turn around and retreat to the right rear.

Cai Yang's subordinates released an arrow followed by Cai Yang urging the horse to follow, surrounding Liu Qi in the center, and the people behind automatically stepped forward to release arrows to cover, and in the blink of an eye, the whole team had almost completed the turn, and finally the first scream was heard in the dense forest, followed by the sound of a large number of broken dead branches rushing to the edge of the forest.

There really was an ambush!

Cai Yang shouted and ordered his subordinates to evacuate as quickly as possible, where could people catch up with them, and when everyone evacuated safely, the people inside had not yet rushed out of the forest, and after running out of a distance to confirm safety, Liu Qi, who had palpitations, suddenly came back to his senses, and suddenly reined in his mount and shouted: "Cai Yang, divide two teams to detour back to the camp to report the news, and lead the army to come to help quickly!" You personally lead three teams to turn back and investigate, drag the enemy, and don't go deeper! Others stand in place! ”

"Whoa!"

Cai Yang held the flying knife and led his subordinates to gallop away, Liu Qi held Jinghong with one hand and the reins with the other, sat on a stone and stared at the direction where Cai Yang went, his heart beating violently.

Meow a mi, be careful and careless, if there was no flying knife warning just now, and you got into Zhang Jiao's pocket unsuspectingly, there is no master like Yu Ji who can only be caught in front of Zhang Jiao?

Come and don't be rude!

Damn Zhang Jiao, you don't open your eyes to see clearly, are you still at your disposal as a young master like when you first arrived? Since you're here, I'll be sure to entertain you!

This place is about more than 20 miles away from the camp, and the fast horse rushes back to lead the army to reach at most half an hour, as long as Zhang Jiao is dragged down, as soon as the army arrives and calls him to plug his wings and is difficult to fly, he can get back the Dunjia Book of Heaven by capturing Zhang Jiao, and the return plan will be more than half successful, just follow the map to find the seven volumes of Taiping Essentials to go home!

With the experience of fighting with the Yellow Turban Army in Jiangzhou City and Langxi Village, Liu Qi's fear of Zhang Jiao has faded a lot, and the desire to seize Dunjia Tianshu and the elite soldiers and strong generals under his command have added enough courage for Liu Qi to compete with Zhang Jiao head-on!

It's a pity that the cunning Zhang Jiao didn't give Liu Qi this chance, the work of the two pillars of incense (five minutes), Cai Yang sent someone to report, the enemy only chased less than half a mile back into the forest, Liu Qi stomped his feet angrily, he really wanted to get on the horse and catch up in person, but the sky was already dark, and it was impossible for him to get into the dense forest where he couldn't see his fingers to chase him, in that environment, his subordinates were not Zhang Jiao's opponents, don't send yourself into the wolf's mouth.

"Hey!"

Liu Qi smashed his fist on a big tree, looking at the gloomy darkness with hatred, a pair of gloomy eyes seemed to really flash in the depths of the darkness, Liu Qi felt that he could clearly hear Zhang Jiao sneer and say to him: "There will be a period later!" ”

"Maybe we'll see you again tomorrow, hmph, let's see which of us can have the last laugh!"

The anger and irritability just now disappeared all of a sudden, Liu Qi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, now he is in absolute strength, and this gap will get bigger and bigger in the future, why rush for a while, wait for tomorrow at dawn, two thousand troops will search the mountains together, and see Zhang Jiao still laughing?

"Call Cai Yang back! Take a detour back to camp! ”

"Whoa!"

There was no road between the wilderness, and the crowd bypassed the U-shaped bend and returned from the river, and on the way, they met Gao Hong and Du Jie, who had rushed to meet them at full speed.

"Ziyuan!"

"General!"

The two of them urged their mounts to rush to Liu Qi, pulled Liu Qi carefully, and after a long time to confirm that he was not injured, they breathed a sigh of relief.
