After finally getting to the crux of the problem, Shi Chen Wen let out a long sigh of relief and replied respectfully: "Today, the enemy troops are really acting strangely. They won't come forward to challenge us, and they won't do anything suspicious either.
"Oh? Is that so? "Can you see what's so good about the banner on the main battleship?"
Shi Chen Wen tried his best to recall the scene above the other party's banner. Other than the pigeon with its black and gold beak, there seemed to be nothing special about it, but as for the pigeon, Shi Chen Wen felt that it was extremely strange. Not only was it special, its body was also twice the size of a normal pigeon.
"Honorable Master, there has always been a pigeon with a black and gold beak in the sky above the banner. This subordinate thinks that this pigeon is very strange, not only is it twice as strange as an ordinary pigeon, its appearance is also very strange. What's even weirder is that I seem to be the only one who can see it."
Wei Guogong heard and nodded her head, then continued: "It's not just you, senior brother and I, her own disciples can all see it, it's a secret technique from my sect, you can see it because I placed the rune earlier, if you don't believe me, look at your chest, and see if there is a palm sized V symbol paper."
Shi Chen Wen took the opportunity to touch his chest and as expected, took out a red-colored talisman paper with a yellow edge. Placing it in front of his eyes, he saw that it was drawing a mess of symbols with cinnabar.
After Wei Guogong received the paper, she carefully folded the paper and placed it back into her sleeves. She turned around and walked into the tent happily.
"General Shi, please come in." The old and powerful voice of the Wei Guogong came out from inside the tent. Right after she finished speaking, Shi Chen Wen walked in through the curtain.
Shi Chen Wen who had entered the pavilion was quietly standing in his original position, waiting for the Wei Guogong and the servant at the head of the table to finish their conversation. After they had finished, Shi Chen Wen watched as the servant left the pavilion, then respectfully saluted Wei Guogong who was seated at the head of the pavilion.
The Wei Guogong nodded her head lightly and gestured for the other party to sit down, "The pigeon with a black and gold beak that you saw today was actually not a pigeon, but a paper pigeon depicted in black paint.
"Signal?"
"This signal is the final chess piece of the game that we agreed to meet in half a month. Since you have already seen the signal, you must immediately go and forge a batch of iron chains as thick as a fist."
Shi Chen Wen was puzzled, "Duke, why do we need to smelt some iron chains? Could this have something to do with the last battle half a month later? "
Of course, this plan came from Senior Brother. He said that the Han people of Sky Dynasty do not like fighting in the water, and once they board the ship, sixty percent of them will vomit, and they will not be able to fight normally. It would be better to use iron chains to link all the ships together, and when we fight again, it would be like walking on flat ground, as if we were standing on mud.
Shi Chen Wen lowered his eyebrows, and thought about the possibility of successfully suppressing the enemy with this iron lock warship. However, this was the first time he had heard of this strategy on the water, so he didn't know where to start, and could only temporarily put it aside.
"General Shi, you have to finish forging this iron chain as soon as possible. You also need to give the soldiers a few days to get used to walking and running on the warship."
Wei Guogong had an extraordinary amount of confidence in her control over the whole situation. If she could get help from her talented senior brother, who was one of her generation, he would definitely win this battle.
Shi Chen Wen had no other choice but to go forward and receive his orders, "Yes," he turned around and left the tent.
Although he had a portion of water troops that could be said to be comparable to the elite troops of one sob tribe, there were still more than half of the army that were not good at swimming and fighting on the water. Although he had trained for an emergency with the army for a period of time when he was leaving, the effect of fighting on the water a few days ago didn't seem to be very obvious.
If the plan was to link all the warships with iron chains and the bodies of the warships would be numberless, all the warriors would be able to walk on flat ground. Would that solve the problem then?
Since he was confident about the fifth floor, Shi Chen Wen decided to give it a try.
Shi Chen Wen returned the daily training for soldiers to Xu Xi to complete. He brought a pair of Dreamy Cloud City soldiers to find a forging shop, and paid the price of five gold per day to spend the entire day in the shop. After burying his head in the fire, he spent the entire day walking around the forging furnace, and the soldiers all followed their generals without complaint as they did things that were incomprehensible to them.
On this day, he had just finished forging a hundred meter long metal chain. His entire body was drenched in sweat, and his upper body was leaning against a wooden pillar, drinking a mouthful of hot water that was placed beside the stove. However, his gaze was focused on the boiling Dreamy Cloud City Street.
It had to be said that the Dreamy Cloud City was truly a rich and prosperous place. Just from the clothes and accessories that came and went from the ordinary citizens, one could tell how luxurious this city was.
The Dreamy Cloud City was known as the most powerful in the capital, and Shi Chen Wen had seen this piece of Yunmeng Silk once before. It could even be said that when placed in his hands, it was as gentle as a white cloud floating in the sky, and when gently caressed, it would feel extremely smooth, just like a devastatingly beautiful lady with glossy black hair.
There was once a beauty who didn't believe it. She took a bath in the water while wearing the Cloud Dream Silk. When she stood up, besides her lower body being soaked in the water, the water from her upper body was dripping down her smooth clothes.
After that, Dreamy Cloud silk received another name, beautiful silk.
And this beauty silk was something that even thousands of gold could not buy in the capital. And the citizens of Dreamy Cloud City all wore clothes cut from the Dreamy Cloud silk, even the clothes on the half of the beggars' bodies were made from the patchwork of Dreamy Cloud silk.
Shi Chen Wen looked at the people on the street who were walking around. After resting for a moment, he once again focused on forging the iron chains.
After toiling for a few days like this, Shi Chen Wen finally managed to bring the soldiers back to the camp ten days later to report to the Wei Guogong. Then, he immediately rushed to the Yongan River and placed the iron chains on the bows and stern of each ship.
