Dashi Post.

After hearing the two dusty people finished speaking, the Yicheng slapped the table angrily.

"Dog slave, you actually dare to rob our Daqin caravan and destroy the Silk Road. You're really looking for death. Zhao San!"

A young man with the word "Online" on his robe came in, "Online"!"

"Zhao San, hurry up and change the fort and tell the beacon there, and say that Turkic thieves plundered the caravan here, and asked them to send a signal of beacon smoke and urgently summon the patrol team to rescue."

"Yes." Zhao San handed his hands to take the order and quickly left, leading a fast horse out of the stable and leaving the post.

"It's been hard for us to come all the way. Let's drink some water first, take a break here, and wait for the news. Don't worry, each beacon castle has a special beacon smoke command. When things happen, you can quickly summon nearby patrol cavalry with beacon smoke message."

The official chief was very confident about the patrol cavalry of the Qin Dynasty. Not to mention the two or three hundred Turkic thieves, even more, they were not afraid. On this road, no group of thieves dared to provoke the patrol cavalry of the Qin army so boldly.

Swap the castle.

When the patrol cavalry was not resting in the fort, Feng led only one person, one deputy, and seven Fengzis in the fort.

They are all under the jurisdiction of Fang Office under the Ministry of War, and are also under the jurisdiction of the Commander-in-Chief of Anxi Road.

Burning smoke during the day is called a fire, raising fire at night is called a beacon, and beacon castle is also called a beacon castle.

There are regulations on one to five torches in beacon towers. At the same time, the imperial military weapon supervisors have improved the beacon torches. After adding a material, the burning smoke and fire will have colors. Therefore, different numbers of beacon torches and different colors can be combined into more than a dozen messages.

In this way, the military situation can be accurately conveyed, and the nearby castles of troops stationed in the army can accurately judge the military situation and make corresponding arrangements.

If nothing happens, the beacon will set a colorless beacon on the first night of the day to report peace, so it is called the fire of peace.

The Hanyi is as far away as a dot, and the beacons around each other can be said to be the best proof that the Qin Dynasty has truly entered the Western Regions and has begun to master this place. It has also become a spectacular scene on the Silk Road.

The swap beacon is roughly the same as many beacons on the Silk Road, with a square base and a prism-shaped body that shrinks upwards. They are all rammed earth buildings. There are red willow branches in the rammed earth and are mostly made of logs.

The beacon castle is also called the beacon pier. It looks like a mound from a distance, with a length of four meters and a height of more than three meters. The body of the pier is built up and down with four layers of wooden stakes with diameters as thick as a bowl.

Twenty miles a post station, fifty miles a beacon castle.

There are some important passes and important areas, even a beacon tower every five miles. In Yiwu County, there is an important area, but only fifty miles away, there are thirteen beacon towers connected to it.

The Changba Beacon Castle was not actually a newly built. It was a beacon castle on the beacon tower line established by the Western Regions Protectorate Army as early as the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han. Although the original fort was almost abandoned after hundreds of years, the Qin Dynasty's Changba Fort was indeed established on this basis, but it was just a taller one.

The main body of the beacon pier of Baba Fort is more than four meters wide and three meters high. The building and beacon tower are built above. There are a circle of two meters of earth walls below to enclose a place, including stables, wells, dormitories, warehouses, etc. There is a trench outside the earth wall and a suspension bridge on the earth wall.

Such a high-standard beacon is because it is usually the garrison of a team of patrol cavalry.

After Xu Feng led his letter of help from nearby postmen, he did not dare to neglect. Zhao San was the one they all knew, and there were frequent contacts at that post station.

When they stayed on this desolate Silk Road, sometimes they would walk around each other when they were not on duty, drink and talk about the Central Plains. He would regularly go to the inn to send letters and pick up newspapers.

"The caravan has just left today, and I didn't expect it to be attacked. I will send a message now."

Xu Feng led the beacon tower in charge of this fort, and he had nine men under his command. Therefore, his beacon was actually a fire leader and had not yet entered the stream. However, because of the hard work of stationing in the border areas, he could enjoy the treatment of an officer from the ninth rank.

Lao Xu was impatient. He climbed up to the tower and immediately ordered the beacon on duty.

"Rare the smoke immediately and summon Team Xiao to lead the team back!"

Two Fengzi on duty asked, "What happened? Team Xiao was just out on patrol early in the morning. This time he went out, it would take three days to come back."

"The caravan that spent the night in our fort last night was attacked thirty miles southwest. The Turkic horse team urgently needed them to rescue."

"Cao, where did the Turkic boy come from such a bold one? He is so arrogant and dare to make trouble on the Silk Road?"

"I don't know if it's the Turks in Kucha or the Turks who have come from other places. In short, things are urgent, so I'll issue an order quickly."

When the time was on duty, the beacon immediately began to light the beacon smoke according to the agreed signal, and the beacon smoke with specific materials was added, with blue.

Two torches and blue smoke mean that the beacon castle urgently summons patrol cavalry, and the nearby beacon castle does not require the fortress to be passed.

Next is waiting.

Within dozens of miles, the patrol team will surely see these two torches of blue beacon.

After going down the building, Xu Feng led another Fengzi to rest.

"Hundreds of Turkic cubs came from where they robbed caravans more than 30 miles southwest. Everyone entered the first-level combat readiness state, be careful to prevent Turkic cubs from attacking!"

"Those wolf cubs dare to attack the caravan, but they would not dare to attack our beacon with a hundred courages?"

"That is, although the castle was in the border of Kucha, the Emperor of Qin had an agreement with the countries that the post stations and beacons on the Silk Road were all the same as the embassies stationed in various countries. They were all Qin territories. Those who dared to attack embassies, post stations and beacons were regarded as declaring war on the Qin dynasties!"

Which country in the Western Regions declared war on the Qin Dynasty?

Xu Feng snorted, "You little bastards, don't underestimate the enemy. Mr. Guan Er lost Jingzhou by then. Naturally, the countries in the Western Regions did not dare to declare war on me, Qin, but what if they were horse thieves? What if they were people pretending to be horse thieves? They cheered me up, went to the Armass Warehouse to collect equipment, and fully armed me. I hoped that two more were sent up to the building and watched me carefully, but if there was any disturbance, I would report it immediately."

"Don't you need to notify other beacons?"

"Just two or three hundred horse thieves, what a big deal. We can solve such a little thing by calling a patrol team. Report a little bit of matter. Do you think the top is busy?"

The beacons cursed and scolded the Turkic cubs to disrupt everyone's rest time.

"Everyone is cheered up. Tonight, let's eat mutton and give it a good reward."

"This is good. I'll cook the mutton oil and eat the mutton cakes every day, and it's so fucked."

"Okay, I'll eat a basin of lamb and a large bowl of pineapple tonight. Now I'll go to work."

In the northeast of the Bachang Fort, on the side of the Wild Silk Road in the Wasteland, Team Xiao was leading a group of subordinates to gnaw on Hu cakes.

"Captain Xiao, look, the two blue smokes of torches were sent out by the castle." One person shouted.

Team Xiao was turning his head and looking at it. Sure enough, you could see the two torches of blue smoke coming straight into the sky from afar.

The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun sets in the long river is round.

The distance between twenty or thirty miles actually seems to be not far away at first glance, but if you really want to run, you can still run to the mountain and die.

Team Xiao stuffed the last small piece of Hu cake in his hand into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it into his stomach.

He patted his butt and stood up, "Turn the fort, two blue smoke, brothers, when they come to live, they all cheer up, get on the horse, and change the fort!"

"Damn it, I haven't opened it for more than half a month. It's really going to open it." Mr. Zhang laughed and picked up his helmet and put it on his head.

The fifty Qin cavalry quickly packed up, and everyone was very excited to see the two torches and blue smoke summoning each other.
