Arriving at the intersection of several rivers, the boat turned into the northernmost river and drove directly along the river to the edge of the large grassland. "Bi"Ω "Qu" Pavilion
"This river just goes around the north side of the grassland. It is about 30 meters wide and can be passed by ships of medium size and below. If a bridge is built on the river, there will be a road connecting to Juyang City, which can establish a connection with the outside world." Ding
Kui once again set foot on the grassland.
"Who would build a bridge in such a poor place?" Ao Yu was still sitting in the water.
"No, I think a village can be built here. There are two roads, water and river, which are very convenient." Ding Kui flew up into the air to observe this large grassland again.
Ao Yu also jumped into the air and said: "There is abundant water and grass here and plenty of food. It will soon attract new low-level monsters to live here. Those lowly humans are not much different from food, so how can they build a village?"
"It is indeed a problem, but just because ordinary people can't live here doesn't mean that our team can't live here. My subordinates are no longer food for low-level monsters, right? If we arrange for a fifth-level warrior to guard them, we won't have to worry about another fifth-level fighter.
Earthworm."
"That's right, Tao Mu Shou from home is enough."
Ao Yu felt much more relaxed after the other three soldiers arrived. All the chores were handed over to the three newcomers. If Ding Kui hadn't asked him to come out, there would be almost no work for him to do now.
"Not bad, really good. Building a house here can protect you from wind and rain. Those shady trophies can be stored here. If you arrange some people to guard it, it can become a secret base for our brigade." Ding Kui became more and more satisfied as he looked at it.
"The military camp in the city is big enough. What are you doing here?" Ao Yu was very puzzled.
"You don't know, we will have a secret operation soon. The people in Juyang City are easy to leak secrets and are not suitable for public activities in the military camp in the city."
"It's so mysterious. No one knows about the activities here? Anyone can come here."
There are many people who know that there is a path in the swamp, and maybe someone will be able to find a big meadow at some point.
"It's okay, I have a way to solve it. Let's take a look at the surrounding situation separately and investigate whether there are any special terrains nearby."
It wasn't until dark that the two of them returned to the Juyangcheng military camp.
Liang Chong and Feng Liang came to understand the situation, and Ding Kui briefly talked about what happened today.
"It's surrounded by unfathomable quagmire? Just a large piece of solid hard land in the middle? This is the first time I've heard of such a strange terrain. There is no such place like this anywhere else in the Great Swamp." Liangchong wondered.
"Isn't that just right?" Feng Liang's eyes flashed.
"It's a pity that there is no stone mountain nearby, otherwise a strong fortress could be built there." Ding Kui said regretfully.
"We can dig mud and build a wall. There is not enough space around to deploy troops. Our manpower is enough to defend it." Liangchong suggested.
"No, medium-sized warships can sail into the river in the north. If the enemy is advancing from both sides of the river, it will be impossible to hold on with an earth wall alone. It is best to have a high wall made of stones, which will be impregnable." Ding Kui
Shake his head.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about it. As long as we don't rebel, there won't be a large number of enemies attacking us at this time. Our brigade's secret base doesn't even need fences, as long as there are people guarding it." Feng Liang was a bystander.
"Hahaha, yes, Ding Kui and I are both over the top, but Brother Feng still has a clear mind. As long as we find a way to prevent others from getting close, we can ensure the confidentiality of the secret base." Liang Chong laughed to himself.
Ding Kui threw out a map. What was drawn on the map was the large swamp south of Juyang City. There was a red dot on the grassland, and the mark at the bottom of the map read "Earth-turning Dragon".
"Hey, I have a good idea. The map of the Magic Guild indicates that there are intermediate-level monsters there. Who dares to go there? Even if President Huan shows up at our base, I can explain that the Earth-turning Dragon has been driven away by us. I believe Huan The president will not reveal our secrets."
"This way everything is foolproof. Let's start preparations without further ado. I'll go to the county and city first and apply for materials for establishing the base." Liang Chong did as he was told and left Juyang City that night.
Bai Qian followed Ding Kui's instructions and ran to contact Fang Qingguo and used the power of the Intelligence Department to collect fishing boats.
During the war, the Meng army robbed all the fishing boats in Juyang City. When they finally evacuated from Juyang City, the Meng army burned everything they could not take away, including the fishing boats. Even if Ding Kui had money, he could not buy a fishing boat in Juyang City.
Ding Kui and Ao Yu were not idle. They continued to explore the terrain and monsters in the swamp. At the same time, they brought new soldiers with them. The efficiency of the investigation would be much higher with a few more people. Despite Ding Fen's young age, he was exploring in the wild. As an archer, her role is no less than that of Ding Cai.
When he came to Juyang City again, Liangchong brought a batch of construction materials, which were specially used by the military and were enough to load more than a dozen large vehicles.
Bai Qian lived up to Ding Kui's trust and got six fishing boats from nowhere, which could just hold the supplies Liang Chong brought.
This morning, the First Brigade boarded the warship and six fishing boats, and once again went out for a so-called sailing exercise. However, this time they did not bring with them the recruited boatmen and oarsmen. All the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade controlled the boats.
The fleet led by Ding Kui has been sailing to the lower reaches of the Tongyuan River. They have been frequently dispatched recently. Although the scale of this operation was slightly larger, it did not attract special attention from others.
The fleet followed the route of the last boat and entered the Great Swamp for more than 20 miles before turning into a tributary of the Tongyuan River and completely disappearing from people's sight.
Lao Wangjue knelt on one knee on the grass, grabbed a handful of soil with both hands, and brought it to his nose to smell. "Wow, such a large piece of land, if all crops are planted, it will be no problem to support the 2o1 Division." He said. Said in surprise.
Ma Duping patted Lao Wangjue on the back of the head and said, "Don't you be ashamed? The first thing you thought of when you came here was planting crops. There are many ready-made fields around Juyang City, but now they are all deserted and no one is planting them. Do you need to come here if you want to farm?"
"It's different. This is where our brigade belongs. No matter how much food I grow, it's all our own. From a military point of view, we can be self-sufficient and the enemy can't trap us here." Lao Wangjue retorted.
Jiang Jiao smiled and said: "Hahaha, you have been with Captain Ding for a long time and you still know some military strategy. Are you coveting the position of squadron leader of 'Ding Kui Squadron'?"
"No, no, Captain Jiang can't laugh at me. I won't be able to take the position of squadron leader in eight lifetimes. I think you have a great chance." Lao Wangjue said with a blushing face.
"Oh, you will try to trick me. I won't jump into this trap. The squadron leader of 'Ding Kui Squadron' will be selected from your 'Ding Kui Squadron'. It has nothing to do with my eighth squadron." Jiang Jiao is very sneaky.
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work!" Ding Kui shouted, "Unload the things on the fishing boat first. The fishing boat is also used for training and cannot be left here forever."
The warships did not arrive at the grassland, but six fishing boats came in first.
Everyone in the first brigade was very excited and found a sense of home here in the big grassland.
Since its establishment outside the city of Pingzhong County, the First Brigade has been running around, either stationed in military camps or camping in the field. Everywhere they went was a temporary stop. It can be said that no place belonged to them. After arriving at the grassland , and listening to the explanations of the officers, everyone felt that "this place belongs to us".
Ding Kui planned to build a warehouse first, and there was no need to rush to build barracks that could accommodate people. They were all soldiers and could live if they had a place to keep out the rain and wind.
A thousand elite officers and soldiers were naturally very efficient in building houses. They built two small warehouses covering an area of about 500 square meters in one day.
"Ten warehouses should be enough for us, right?" Liang Chong asked Ding Kui.
Ding Kui stood up straight, looked at his subordinates surrounding the new warehouse, and said, "It depends on their performance. If they are strong enough, ten may not be enough."
For five consecutive days, the First Brigade was engaged in construction work on the grassland. During this period, they only sent a few fishing boats back to Juyang City to purchase supplies. They ate and lived on the grassland.
Xue Sheng hammered the last nail into the wooden pile, then ran to Ding Kui and said happily: "Team D, give our new home a name."
"Team D, give our new home a name." All the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade shouted together.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work!" Ding Kui saluted all his subordinates, "Home, yes, this is your home! Since our first brigade joined the Nanzhao Prefecture Theater, it has been invincible and invincible. No enemy army can withstand our attack, so let’s call our new home ‘Yongsheng’.”
"Forever victory! Forever victory! Forever victory!" The passionate slogan resounded over the grassland.
Ding Kui, Liang Chong and nine squadron leaders gathered together for another meeting.
"How is everyone's training going?" Ding Kui asked.
"Compared with the real navy, we still have a big gap, but compared with ordinary people, we have a certain combat effectiveness." Liang Chong gave an objective evaluation.
"Well, the best training is actual combat. I don't think we need to wait any longer and start taking action tomorrow." Ding Kui said after looking around at the confident faces.
"If we take action tomorrow, we must send a fishing boat back to Juyang City to pick up those magicians. They have an absolute advantage in conducting reconnaissance on the river." Liang Chong also agreed to take action tomorrow.
"Jiangjiao." Ding Kui shouted seriously.
"My subordinates are here!" Jiang Jiao stepped out and clasped his fists.
"I'll give you a fishing boat. Lead your troops out before dawn tomorrow and return to Juyang City to pick up the magician. Just wait five miles away from the pier of Juyang City. I will send the messenger eagle back to the city tonight and notify the magician to fly out to find you." Ding Kui ordered.
"Subordinates take orders!"
"Feng Liang."
"My subordinate is here!"
"You lead your headquarters and the 9th and 10th Squadrons to disguise themselves as fishermen and set sail with five other fishing boats to clear the way for the flagship."
"Yes!" Feng Liang cupped his fists and accepted the order.
