The treasures were quickly counted out. The goods were worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Counting the treasures on the first island, the profits of this navy operation would exceed half a million. The navy immediately transferred these treasures to their own
On the battleship, even the treasures on the captured Persian battleship were removed for safety.
Seeing the cargo slowly being loaded into the ship, Zeng Yi and others all smiled. Then the navy's four warships were deployed around the island. The four small pirate warships had basically been blocked, and the Persians were basically eliminated.
Pirates' escape route.
"Have you found a source of fresh water?"
If we follow what Zeng Yi and others want, the Persian pirates don't need to worry about them at all. The treasure has been obtained, so what big waves can those pirates make? However, the navy doesn't think so. The reason why they insist on wiping out all pirates is
They are also afraid that if these pirates return to Persia, the new weapons of the Central Plains will be exposed, and the navy is still waiting to use these new weapons to surprise the Persian navy.
"I found a place and found an abandoned village in the southeast. There is a stream behind the village, but I don't know if there is fresh water elsewhere!"
Hearing this, Zeng Yi said: "The island is only so big, how can there be so much fresh water? Find the source of the stream directly!"
Zeng Yi and others and the navy army, which totaled a thousand people, began to go up the creek. After walking for less than half an hour, they found the source of the creek. They looked at the creek that meandered into the sea.
, Zeng Yi and others frowned.
"It's a bit troublesome. I didn't expect that a small stream with such a small amount of water would wind up for such a long time. Persian pirates can get water from anywhere at any time along the way. We only have a thousand people and we can't control the entire stream!
"
After a moment of silence, Laosan suddenly said: "Why don't we poison the source?" Zeng Yi and the others had done something like this before, and they learned this trick from the grassland people. In order to prevent the invasion of the Central Plains Dynasty, the grassland had to retreat before retreating.
Sometimes, a large number of corpses will be thrown into the water source to pollute the fresh water and limit the attack of the Central Plains.
After listening to the words of the third child, the fourth child shook his head: "Of course it is possible to poison, but such a long stream requires a large amount of poison, and this is living water. If you want to ensure the effect, you need to keep poisoning the water source.
, On the one hand, the consumption is too great, on the other hand, we can’t find so much poison.”
"Then what should we do?" Everyone in the navy also looked at Zeng Yi and the others. Zeng Yi thought for a moment and gritted his teeth and said: "Since the creek is too long, just block the water source. Go get some gunpowder.
, let’s blow up this water source directly.”
When several navy captains heard this, they immediately waved their hands. A dozen navy soldiers immediately turned around and returned to the battleship. In less than an hour, a dozen soldiers came back carrying several gunpowder barrels, fearing the gunpowder.
Water is the natural weakness of gunpowder. With current technology, it is basically impossible to overcome this problem in gunpowder itself. There is no other way but to find a solution externally. The easiest way is of course to make a comparison.
Sealed and waterproof wooden barrels are used to hold the gunpowder.
After bringing the gunpowder, Zeng Yi and others immediately directed everyone to arrange the gunpowder around the water source, and then everyone evacuated. With a loud bang, the water source was bombed beyond recognition, and it was a mess, and the spring water,
A big crater was blasted around it, and Zeng Yi and the others artificially created a barrier lake.
Barrier lakes are lateral obstructions of natural dykes formed by rapid collapse, landslides, debris flows, accumulations produced by glaciers and snowmelt activities, or volcanic eruptions under certain geological and geomorphological conditions due to rapid collapse, landslides, debris flows, etc. of river valley banks under the action of dynamic geology.
A lake, a valley, a river valley or a river bed, is a lake formed by congested water in the upstream section. Zeng Yi and others artificially created a barrier lake. Although it is not large in scale, the spring water at the source of the small stream is enough to swallow a barrier lake.
It’s been ten days and a month.
Persia hurriedly retreated from the warship to the island. It can be said that they did not bring any supplies at all. The food was not bad, and they were all good hands. They picked some wild fruits and hunted some animals, so they would not starve to death, but there was no
Fresh water is a fatal problem. There are hundreds of people, and without fresh water, it will collapse in a few days.
Looking at the barrier lake formed, Zeng Yi smiled and said, "We have enough manpower to monitor this place now!"
More than a thousand Central Plains water troops were divided into several groups and took turns to ambush around. There were no accidents that day. Some animals came here looking for water. The barrier lake blocked the stream, and the animals in the rain forest began to
Come find new water sources.
Seeing those animals, the fourth child whispered in the ears of Zeng Yi and the others: "If we were to destroy the ecological environment in reality, the four of us could go to jail!"
Zeng Yi smiled: "If this were put in reality, those pirates would have surrendered long ago!"
On the second day, the Persian pirates couldn't bear it any longer and discovered that the small stream was out of water. Several pirates followed the original stream bed and found the barrier lake. Only a few pirates appeared. Zeng Yi
In order not to alert the enemy, the others and the navy soldiers stood still.
After the pirates discovered the barrier lake, they immediately ran over and looked at the water that had become clear again in the barrier lake. They hesitated for a moment, but one of them boldly took a few sips and found that there was nothing else.
Unexpectedly, several people immediately packed some fresh water and left happily.
At this time, the navy actually wanted to keep these people, but they were intercepted by Zeng Yi. "Everyone, please be patient. There are only a few Persian pirates, and they must be here to explore the road. Just fight with these few people to lead them."
The fresh water left is not enough for one pirate, so they will definitely send a large number of people to get water, and it won't be too late to wait a little before taking action."
As expected by Zeng Yi, a few hours after the Persians left, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance. A moment later, Zeng Yi and others saw hundreds of people appearing by the barrier lake in the distance.
Persian pirates, these are the Persians who abandoned the ship and ran away.
"Let the brothers form an encirclement. After all the Persian pirates enter, complete the encirclement immediately. In principle, no Persian pirate will be let go!"
The Persians were very cautious. When they arrived, they did not ask for water immediately. Instead, they sent people to check around. The creek suddenly turned into a barrier lake, which must be unusual. Coupled with the loud noise, the Persians must have
You will suspect that it was the Central Plains Navy that did it, and you will be forced to come here to collect water. Of course, you will be more careful!
