It was found that the Ma'an Pass channel was blocked and there was Qing army defense on the shore, so the reconnaissance team retreated for a kilometer and prepared to find a place to reconnaise with a drone first. The location where they docked was located on the south bank of the Xiujiang River, next to it was a hill.

It is said that the Xiujiang River flows from south to north to the southern part of Teng County. Due to the obstruction of the mountain, it was forced to turn eastward and then turn north, thus forming a wide water surface. When we arrived at the highest point of the hill, we found that we could see the water grid of Masanguan without using a telescope.

The reconnaissance captain of the Hoi An camp is Chen Wenxiu, and his military rank is captain. This man's name is very delicate, but his appearance and personality are the opposite. There is a scar on his face when he fought with the Dutch, which looks very ferocious and fierce from the corner of his left eye to the lower jaw. This ancestral home is Zhejiang, and his ancestors escaped to Hoi'an in the late Ming Dynasty and became a family of the "ten elders and six surnames" of the Mingxiang Society.

"Release the 'Sky Eye'! I want to see who is so brave that he dares to block us."

As soon as Chen Wenxiu finished speaking, a gray drone that had been retracted was only the size of a palm rose rapidly from the hillside and flew towards Masanguan.

To this day, drones have become the standard configuration for the Northern Navy during combat. Except for the minion army, there are no reconnaissance teams, artillery companies, and special operations battalions at the level of the directly affiliated troops. In order not to attract the attention of those who are interested, Zhao Xin asked his cousin to set up a drone technology company a few years ago. He gained the authorization of the application platform of a drone manufacturer for a drone manufacturer. After the company was established, it claimed to provide industry application solutions. In fact, 90% of them were produced, sold and used by themselves, and the bag companies were just going to go back.

Specifically for the combat troops of the North Navy, both officers and soldiers like to call this thing "Sky Eye". The real name "drone" makes people feel difficult to understand. After all, there are no planes in this time and space.

Due to cost issues, the UAVs used by the North Navy are mainly divided into ordinary and advanced types. For example, the artillery troops use advanced goods with telemetry functions, while the regiment-level reconnaissance troops use ordinary goods with handheld remote controls; they are small and easy to carry, and the only thing that is that the detection distance is only two or three kilometers.

As Zhao Xin's "own son" in the Northern Navy's southern mission system, the equipment that the Hoi An Camp should have is very unscathed. For example, the drone equipped by the reconnaissance team marked the farthest flight of 6 kilometers in the instructions, but it only takes no blockage on the ground. It is obviously not suitable for such a mountainous environment in Guangxi, and it is usually released at most two kilometers.

The drone made a cheerful "buzzing" sound, passing through the green river water and the green forest, and then rose sharply. The outline of the city wall on the hill on the west side of Ma'anguan appeared in the back pass screen.

This village covers an area of ​​only five or six acres, which is half a football field. There are barracks to the north and west, and the gate is open to the south. On the east side of the village, there is a fortress facing Ma'anguan. There is a small cannon on the cannon stand. Judging from the thickness of the cannon body, it looks like a second general cannon. Several guys who look like gunners are sitting under the nearby straw shed, as if chatting.

The Northern Navy has seized such cannons many times in past battles. The cannon body is 1.5 meters long and weighs about 120 kilograms. Two people can move away easily. If they have strong strength, it is no problem to carry them alone. Each time they open fire and charge 8 taels to one kilogram, the effective range is one thousand meters, and the power is average, but it is definitely enough to hit a wooden boat and bamboo raft.

As the camera approached, Chen Wenxiu noticed a black triangular flag standing on the fort. The flagpole was probably two meters high, and the flag cap was decorated with a streamer of more than one meter long. However, because it was noon and there was no wind, the flag could only droop listlessly.

In later generations, people always said that the green camps in the Qing Dynasty were marked with green flags, but in fact they were not. In the green camps, only the green flags of the governor and the long flags of each battalion were used with green, and the camp flags were all variegated flags. The specific color of the flags used depends on what flags the enemy used, so the contrasting colors were used to quickly identify the enemy and us on the battlefield.

For example, the Shandong Green Camp used red flags before, but when they found that the Northern Navy landed in Jiaodong was also flying red flags, it was quickly changed to the white flags with black letters written on them. Let me put it in the ancient Chinese army, fighting the white flags did not mean surrender.

The camera went further away again, and there were not many Qing soldiers moving in the village. It was estimated that there were only about 200 people. On the contrary, the figures in the dense bamboo forest on the south side of the village were shaking. It was estimated that some Qing soldiers had entered the forest to avoid the sun.

Chen Wenxiu wiped the sweat from her face with her hands and said to the soldier in charge of the operation: "Go to the east and take a look."

The drone flew across the river and came to the sky above the city wall on the east side. The two villages in Ma'anguan are basically the same, with east-west symmetrical. There is also a fort on the west side of the village wall, with a two-general cannon. However, there are more Qing troops in the city wall here, looking like three hundred people.

Chen Wenxiu showed a little disdain on her face, thinking that it was just like this, and she didn't need the large army behind her to take the more than 30 people she led could take a charge, and the Qing army was sure to escape.

At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the northwest direction. The drone was blown and the picture of the return was shaken up and down. When the soldiers who were operating stabilized it, they soon noticed that the black pennant on the fort was also blown open, and red handwriting could be seen on it. He hurriedly said, "Captain, look!"

Chen Wenxiu approached her and almost always had her eyes on the screen as big as a palm. However, because the drone flew very high from the ground, although the lens focal length was adjusted to the maximum, she still couldn't see the words on the flag clearly. Seeing that she had the opportunity to confirm the head of the Qing army, Chen Wenxiu urged the operating soldiers to lower the height of the drone.

"Ping...le...song... approach, closer, closer! left... left... left camp... guard... hey! What's going on!"

Just as Chen Wenxiu was about to read all the words on the pennant, suddenly, a black shadow appeared from the lower left position of the screen and quickly approached bigger and bigger. But before he could recognize what it was, the picture on the screen suddenly rolled and twisted uncontrollably, accompanied by violent shaking. After a few seconds, the picture finally stopped. The screen was full of green branches and leaves, and a corner of the sky exposed from the gaps of the branches and leaves.

The drone of the reconnaissance team is bombing!

The soldier responsible for operating was already panicked at this moment, and his hands were pressing quickly on the control board, but the screen did not respond at all. Chen Wenxiu, who was on the side, was also stunned and said hurriedly: "Let it fly quickly! Fly!"

"Captain, it seems that something hit me just now and took off the sky eye."

As soon as his subordinates reminded him, Chen Wenxiu also felt something was wrong. He was frowning and thinking, suddenly, the soldier in charge of operation shouted again: "Captain, look!"

I went, and a big hand suddenly appeared on the picture sent back by the drone. Then the camera trembled and rose rapidly. As the picture turned, the entire screen was instantly filled with a black and dirty face, but only half of the face was exposed, and the thick pores and the beard were clearly visible. Soon, the picture began to flip again, and this time the screen appeared on the screen was a gray-blue Qing Junzi coat.

Not to mention, the fallen drone was picked up by the Qing army. Chen Wenxiu was very annoyed by this because it meant that he had to retrieve it, otherwise he would not be able to hand in the job.

The drone is a high-level control product in the North Navy, and the General Staff has long had strict regulations on this. Whether it is due to operation, internal failure or falling due to external reasons, the wreckage must be found and brought back and handed over. After that, a copy of the cause of the accident and handed over to the supervisor for review and signature, otherwise no new one will be obtained. Of course, if it falls into the sea, it will be another matter, but someone else must prove it.

The reason for this regulation is not that the Qing Dynasty picked up the imitation. After all, even if the skilled craftsmen from the manufacturing office come, there is no chance. The key is to ensure that the various departments of the North Navy have strict management systems for military supplies, otherwise one day someone will resell a complete drone. If there is another defector, it will be fun.

In the past decade, Beihai Town has to have at least 200 bombers, especially during the training process. Most of the reasons for the bombers are attacked by a bird with excessive curiosity during flight, or because the signal is lost, there are few cases of being shot down by people.

Chen Wenxiu already had a premonition in his heart. He probably because he was eager to let the operator lower the height, which caused the "Sky Eye" to fall down. But what exactly was the black shadow flying in just now?

He didn't have time to think too much, so he immediately took his people down the mountain and returned to the shore and explained the situation to his subordinates. Then he asked his deputy and ten soldiers to stay guarding the assault boat, and he took the other twenty people and all his equipment along the river bank to the Qing army camp on the east side of Ma'anguan.

At the same time, in the Qing army camp on the east side of Ma'anguan, the drone with a broken rotor was carefully placed on the table. The guerrillas in charge of the camp and several generals came up to look carefully. The guerrillas in the leader even plucked up the courage to poke them with their fingers a few times.

Outside the door, the soldiers who were looking around were crowded with soldiers looking at each other, and they were also very curious about the things on the table. As a fellow living in the Guidong Mountains for many years, they had never seen any birds, but this kind of gray and hard bird is so strange. It is necessary to have no heads and no feathers. But if you say it is not a bird, everyone present saw it flying in the sky just now.

If it weren't for the buzzing sound of this thing that attracted the attention of Mr. Qian Meng Denggao, who had just returned from outside, shot him with an arrow and killed them, they wouldn't believe that there was such a thing in the world.

As the official of the camp, the guerrilla officer looked at it for a while and couldn't figure it out. He turned around and smiled at a young general who was six feet tall and handsome, saying: "Mr. Meng Qian is really worthy of being a martial scholar, and his stringing technique is superb! I have never seen such a monster before."

When the soldiers around the door heard the guerrillas say it was a "monster", they were so scared that they took a few steps back. The guy who had just picked up the things excitedly immediately turned pale, hurried to the sun, kowtowed to the north, and muttered something.

Meng Denggao, the Qianzong of the Left Camp of Pingle Association, ignored the commotion outside the door, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your praise! The last general is just a few tricks, and it's nothing. Speaking of which, the archery skills of my archery are great, and everyone in Pingle Association knows it."

"Why be humble?" Guerrilla, who is nearly fifty years old, waved his hand and said, "In my opinion, let alone Pingyuefu, you may be the only one who can use ten-power bows in Guangxi. Even in his prime, I am far inferior to that of Mr. Meng Qian, if he participates in the provincial examination, he will definitely be able to pass the martial arts examination in high school. Then he will be able to get the top martial arts scholar in Beijing. Originally, the new emperor ascended the throne and would definitely be a tribute next year, but now the enemy is invading him. Oh, it's a pity!"

Meng Denggao said calmly: "I don't think so. The ancients said that fame and fortune are only taken immediately..."

"Report~~~!"

Before Meng Denggao finished speaking, a soldier ran into the door, knelt on one knee, and gasped, saying, "Big, big, a group of people came from the south, with more than twenty people, and they looked like North American pirates."

"What?!" The guerrilla face of the battalion changed and he asked, "Is there only more than twenty people?"

"How dare villains deceive adults? I am willing to use my life to guarantee them."

The guerrillas in the camp said that twenty people dared to provoke him. Who do you look down on? I have a thousand war soldiers under my command, and there are still one thousand war soldiers and two thousand auxiliary soldiers in Teng County.

Thinking of this, he slapped the table and said angrily: "What a pirate from Beihai, who dares to bully me, Pingle Association, is so arrogant! Mr. Meng Qian, I ordered you to bring one hundred, no, two hundred wolf soldiers, and give you another thirty bird gunners, and be sure to wipe out all the bandits."

230 fights 20. Although it sounds like a bit like killing a chicken and using a slaughter knife to drive his feet, he still doesn't dare to be careless in the guerrillas in the camp. It is really because the Northern Navy is too famous. He was named by Zhu Gui and sent him here, and he also took enough rewards that made other camp leaders jealous. He could not be defeated in the first fight.

On the other hand, Chen Wenxiu walked while thinking about the words on the black flag he had just seen.

Pingle Xie Zuoying should be the Qing army from Pinglefu. He carefully read the green camp information from various parts of Guidong in the regiment headquarters. Among them, the Qing army in Pinglefu had three camps, including Pingle Xie Zuoying, Fuheying, and Mailing. The total number of troops on the list was about 1,400, among which Pingle Xie Zuoying should be only 400.

It’s a joke that just a few soldiers want to stop me from setting up camp! I’ll see how I deal with you later.

Poor Chen Wenxiu didn't know at this time that the four hundred soldiers in the left camp of Pingle Association were just ordinary soldiers in non-war times. After Zhu Gui, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, issued a military order to rush to Wuzhou, the wolf soldiers and local soldiers in Guidong were quickly recruited, so the number of soldiers in Pingle Association soared to 4,000.

The "sex" of the green camp is actually called "sex camp". It is generally composed of two to five battalions. The number of people is not fixed. The large ones are thousands and the small ones are only dozens of people. The troops are allocated entirely according to the local environment. If there is no war, hundreds of people are enough. Once the garrison is transferred out to fight across borders, the scale of the battalion will expand.

The number of soldiers in the military can not be increased or decreased at will, but no one has ever taken care of the number of soldiers who are auxiliary soldiers. They love how much they want. Anyway, the court does not give food and pay, and they are able to lead the generals, so they have always been the same. However, this time Zhu Gui said that although the auxiliary soldiers do not have to pay, they can manage food and have rewards when they go to war.
