I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

There are a lot of materials on the merchant ship, but these materials have to be saved when they are halfway through the road. After all, the things loaded on it are not unlimited. Considering that it will take a long time, everyone is Save it.

And the real hole card is actually Zhang Nuo's warehouse.

There are not only fresh meat, vegetables and ammunition that require the highest preservation conditions, but also a large amount of medicine, which can be regarded as life-saving.

Zhang Nuo generally didn't use the things in the warehouse very much. After all, since it was the hole card, he couldn't take it out casually.

What he uses most now is the exchange function.

In fact, he has rarely used this function in recent years.

It's not that this function is bad, but that he himself is a little afraid of this function, it's the kind of fear seeping out of his bones, as if this is a big fear that can't be seen directly.

Logically speaking, since Zhang Nuo got so many benefits from this system, he should believe in the system.

But this system is so powerful that it is a bit too scary. Zhang Nuo always feels that this kind of method of creating things out of thin air appears in his life with the style of historical essays, and there is always something wrong with his style of painting.

I didn't think so before, but as Datang's technological level gradually improved, especially since Zhang Nuo's own living standard has been maintained pretty good, Zhang Nuo seldom exchanged things directly.

Some people may say that he is hypocritical. He used it well before, but now he starts to respond in his heart. It is obvious that there is nothing missing.

But people are not so hypocritical.

But no matter how hypocritical, it's just a trivial thought in his heart. When it's time to use it, for example, at this time, Zhang Nuo is using it a lot.

A large amount of cement and steel bars were exchanged for the construction of the wharf.

After all, the importance of this place is too high, and it cannot be overemphasized.Therefore, Zhang Nuo didn't think about saving money at the moment, and directly exchanged the most scarce things here from the system neatly, and started the construction of the port.

In fact, it is not impossible to use wood to build here. After all, when there was no cement, Datang's docks were all made of wood.

But looking at the actual situation, it is impossible. There is no such kind of mature century-old tree here, unless the ships in the fleet travel hundreds of thousands of sea miles to other places to cut and transport them.

But that would take too much time.

So Zhang Nuo thought about it, waved his hands and sent people out, but their main tasks became cutting down trees, gathering fruits and hunting.

In this way, the wood obtained here can wait for the shade to dry slowly, and then it can be used as building materials later.

After all, it is only a temporary construction of a pier for the time being, and it will definitely be expanded in the future.

And Zhang Nuo didn't want these people to be idle. It's best for everyone to create value, otherwise, no matter how much he stored in the system space, he wouldn't be able to hold so many mouths to eat and drink.

At the same time, the few remaining spaceships of the air force were also released for him, mainly to survey the surrounding geographical conditions and the water volume of several rivers.

For this port, other places are easy to talk about. The farmland can be gradually reclaimed, and the animal husbandry can be gradually resolved. Only the water source needs to be refreshed. Only when this aspect is resolved can other conditions be resolved.

After all, as a Chinese civilization, farming culture is engraved into the genes. As long as there is water and land, it is really not too difficult to develop a city.

Of course, these are things to consider in the future. Zhang Nuo asked the airship troops to investigate the water source, mainly because he was worried that the Persian Empire would pollute the water source with livestock and other filth after receiving the news.

After all, this kind of thing is actually a very common method in the wars of this era. It is low-cost and easy to operate, but the impact is not small at all. It can even be said that if it really pollutes the water source, it will actually be dealt with. Very troublesome.

And one more thing to note is that it would be even more depressing if the Persian Empire organized slaves to intercept or divert the river upstream.

So early warning in this regard is a must.

But half a month later, Zhang Nuo didn't wait for the news that they polluted the water source, but the airship unit reported that the Persians had organized a very mixed force and rushed over here.

After Zhang Nuo heard the news, he immediately became vigilant.

As long as it is a war, there is no fluke. Even if the opponent is crushed, if you are not careful, you will still cause casualties.

At the same time, many of the recruits who came here this time were new recruits who had never seen blood. It happened that there was an opportunity here, so let's see the blood.

For this reason, Zhang Nuo personally went to the airship to observe the wave closely.

Thanks to him, he came to see it once, and he really saw something wrong.

The troop that came this time seemed like a mob, with loose military discipline, disorganized military appearance, and even a bit of chaos in the composition of the entire troop.

But after Zhang Nuo took a closer look with a telescope in the sky, he discovered that there seemed to be a big problem here.

For example, the main force of this army must be the most distinctive camel cavalry from the Persian Empire, but besides the camel cavalry, Zhang Nuo also saw many carts following the army.

And from the perspective of defense, it is obvious that this army is very cautious about these large vehicles. Obviously, this is definitely not an empty vehicle, and there must be a lot of valuables in it. It is related that they are a unit that only comes to the Datang garrison to fight. If you look at it, nine out of ten it is their "secret weapon".

At the same time, Zhang Nuo also found out, even if this army is in a mess.But in fact, those who are not cavalry should not be underestimated!

Chapter 1008 War Preparation

For Zhang Nuo, he is not afraid of fighting, after all, he came here to fight.

However, he instinctively dislikes battles where there are too many uncertainties and variables, not because of anything else, but mainly because he is indeed not a qualified commander in his bones.

Even though he has already experienced many wars and fought many beautiful battles, in fact, it can be concluded that what he fought was either a siege battle or a city defense battle.

If it is a siege, the target is there. With the firepower in his hands beyond an era and some combat methods he knows piecemeal, it is a breeze to take it down, as long as he is prepared for the enemy's sneak attack.

As for defending the city, it is even simpler, anyway, let you jump around, I will not move.

To put it bluntly, it is actually not difficult to defend the city, as long as there are plenty of supplies and troops, as long as it is not too wasteful and reasonable arrangements are made.

But field battles are different.

God knows what weird tricks the other party will come up with?

Therefore, after Zhang Nuo discovered that even non-cavalry soldiers in the opponent's team had a tough face and a very strong body, he decisively ordered to return.

He already understood that this was not a mob at all, it was clearly an elite unit, even a battle-hardened veteran unit.

After Zhang Nuo came back, he immediately adjusted the defensive strategy of the entire camp.

That's right, Zhang Nuo is planning to fight a defensive battle!

With Dingyuan at sea for long-range fire support, the basic situation of the entire war can be guaranteed, and no matter how bad the situation is, it will not be so bad.

After all, in terms of the firepower of the Dingyuan, the war against such cold weapons is still a land war, which is a bit too much.

Zhang Nuo had seen the experiment of naval guns attacking land, and the effect made him, who has watched various online videos and seen missiles wash the ground, feel shocked.

That is really a one-shot shot, no matter what kind of armor you wear within a radius of tens of meters, you will die, and it is the kind of death that is particularly miserable.

Then with naval guns, it is impossible to lose this battle, but just not losing is not what Zhang Nuo wants.

Although there are tents all over the port at present, due to the lack of wood, a qualified camp could not be built according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty in the past, but that was because the wood and other things were put aside by Zhang Nuo and planned to be used for construction in the future. For the town's sake.

Now that the war is about to start, Zhang Nuo is not the kind of person who can't afford anything. He decisively asks all the troops to start building fortifications and camps immediately.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Nuo admitted that he couldn't play any subtle tactics on this great plain where the horizon could be seen at a glance.

Therefore, he simply used the most rigid defense tactics that he was most familiar with.

Anyway, you are here to beat me, so I am standing here waiting for you to come and die.

It was because of this strategic thinking that the entire camp instantly became a large construction site.

For these soldiers, they complained a little bit when they built the port before, but when they built camps and fortifications and waited for the war, they didn't have any complaints at all, and they were even full of enthusiasm.

After all, everyone knows that as long as there is a war, everyone will have military merits.

Even the navy has started equipment maintenance and tactical drills in full swing. This is a rare sea-land joint operation. Although the top commander is Zhang Nuo, who can be more brilliant when starting a battle? Have more military exploits.

Su Dingfang and a group of young generals also started to get into shape.

The first thing they have to do is to work with the navy to measure the distance and demarcate the front of the entire camp, which is the pre-planned engagement site.

This is a necessary preparation in modern warfare, especially for heavy fire attacks.

As long as the range measurement and demarcation of the battle zone are carried out in advance, once the battle begins, the Navy does not need to conduct test firings to adjust.

At that time, the naval firepower officer on the front line of the battle will directly contact the navy side according to the progress of the battle and Zhang Nuo's order, and carry out coverage shooting on the corresponding area.

On the other hand, the Navy, after completing the ranging and zone division in advance, will be able to find the area that needs to be fired at the first time after receiving the information, and then adjust the muzzle according to the preset data to complete the shooting preparation and shooting in the shortest time. Artillery coverage.

The navy was busy, and the army was not idle either. Zhang Nuo had only one strategic idea for this battle, and that was to eliminate the opponent's vital forces as much as possible.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of this battle is to kill people. Anyway, we are here to teach you a lesson, so you guys are here, so don't leave.

The camp must be built, but you can't just build a camp and wait for people to fight. Datang's side is not a small team of thousands of people.

So Zhang Nuo simply started digging trenches around the camp, especially in front.

This was Zhang Nuo's first time constructing a new type of fortification. There was nothing like this in the past, but for this battle on the plains, his side had all been equipped with new types of weapons, so it was natural to follow the new type of warfare.

This is actually a kind of exploration by Zhang Nuo.

Zhang Nuo didn't play games behind closed doors, and pulled Su Dingfang and the entire staff group to start a heated discussion about making suggestions.

After all, the fortifications of later generations that Zhang Nuo knew were actually trench fortifications during battles with hot weapons, and the defenses were also hot weapons such as guns.

Then he really doesn't know how effective these fortifications are against cold weapons, especially the offensive and defensive effects of cavalry and mixed infantry.

After all, even if it was trench fortification, in fact, he only knew a little bit of superficial knowledge, and the knowledge in this thing was really too big.

There are too many things to consider in terms of firepower configuration, waterproofing, transportation, convenience, etc.

Fortunately, there are many people here. Although these young officers are exposed to these things for the first time, they are already familiar with hot weapons, and most of them have certain military experience.

At the same time, because they are young, they have a lot of new ideas in their minds.

Especially the temptation to build a new method of warfare from scratch is simply too attractive for them.

Fortunately, the land here is mostly sand and soil, so it is very easy to dig. Otherwise, based on the final discussion of Zhang Nuo and his group, the amount of work would be larger than the construction of the city.

They actually built a front and back two-story field fortification directly on the camp side, and they were still connected to each other.

Chapter 1009 Translation delivered to your door

Sometimes Zhang Nuo felt that if he just looked at the scene in front of him and ignored the buns on the heads of the soldiers and the military uniforms on their bodies, it was actually no different from the "Bright Sword" he watched in the early years.

They were all digging crazily in the trenches with shovels, and trenches began to appear on the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, things such as repelling horses and barbed wire to prevent the enemy from charging were also put in place one by one.

This battle is not only a blow to the enemy's vital forces, but also a verification of the army's new tactics on the plain.

And when the entire expeditionary force was preparing for the battle in full swing, Zhang Nuo suddenly received news that a caravan came with camels.

In fact, Zhang Nuo was not surprised that there was a caravan coming over. After all, businessmen are profit-seeking. There are so many people from the Tang Dynasty here, so it is clear that it is a new big market. Not to mention betting here, but to test One click is absolutely possible.

But it's so hard to die, there are always airships patrolling high above Zhang Nuo's head, especially for the troops that are about to arrive, they are always under the observation range of the airship troops, and every move will be recorded.

Then, the most interesting thing happened here, that is, the airship unit in charge of surveillance told Zhang Nuo clearly that the caravan that was about to come to the door was the one who watched the caravan assembled and adjusted from the garrison of the local troops. They rushed over from Datang's station.

In other words, this is clearly a spy.

Zhang Nuo was overjoyed when he heard the news.

Hey, good guy, the commander on the other side is a talent. He is worried about how to find some translators who can speak Tang dialect and communicate with the locals. The other party kindly sent him here.

That's right, although Zhang Nuo hasn't met the other party yet, Zhang Nuo is sure that there must be someone in the other party's caravan who can speak Tang dialect.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless for them to come here, and some information would be useless just by looking at it with the eyes.

So, sometimes it's such a coincidence.

After knowing this situation, the rest is easy. You must know that for Datang, although the military has entered the era of hot weapons, the military has never relaxed its training in fists and cold weapons.

Even some soldiers who were born in the general family have been practicing martial arts every day under the guidance of their elders with sticks. Their skills are not superb, but it is absolutely no problem to capture a few people.

The most terrible thing is that, just to be on the safe side, Zhang Nuo let in the human caravan and went to a group of people in the name of inspection!

Well, he himself is not weak in the military, but two or three deal with one, it's strange that he can't win in an instant.

The subsequent interrogation was even simpler. First, they beat each other separately, and then interrogated after the interrogation. After the interrogation, the confessions were verified by each other, and then the interrogation was repeated several times, and then they were compared with the confessions to find loopholes.

Zhang Nuo didn't care about specific matters, he just waited for the final interrogation results.

Two hours later, Su Dingfang came in with a smile. Zhang Nuo knew from Su Dingfang's expression that the surprise this time might be really big.

After receiving the interrogation report and looking at it, good guy, this is a big fish caught in the net.

There are a total of 74 people in the caravan that came this time, but among them there are three who can communicate in Tang dialect fluently, and the remaining nine can barely speak Mandarin.

This is a surprise.

Zhang Nuo was worried before that if there was only one person who could speak Tang official dialect, it would be a bit troublesome. After all, it would be a pity to kill him, but if he didn't act ruthlessly, he didn't know if the information he got would be accurate.

But now it's all right, anyway, there are many people who know about it, and if they confirm each other, they are naturally not afraid that the information is false.

Besides, as far as Datang is concerned, there are so many people who understand Datang's official dialect, so it is not afraid that he will not find a leading party who will work for Datang.

To put it bluntly, this era is not so serious about family and country feelings, and patriotic education is not as professional as later generations, especially these Persians are more united by race, family, belief and interests.
