Chapter 1018: 1018: Hannibal in the Northern Desert (Part 1) [Please vote for me]

People of this era have a soul-felt fear of natural disasters, among which the earth dragon is the most popular. It is as if the ancestors have experienced similar disasters and this fear has been deeply rooted in the genes and passed down from generation to generation. It’s just that as time goes by, people become numb.

Whose Earth Dragon can toss and turn all day long?

Xian Yujian was nervous at first.

Every muscle is ready to lead the senior brother to escape.

As a result, the dust from the rafters rustled from day to night.

Yun Ce was so shaken that he couldn't even close his eyes.

Xian Yujian couldn't sit still and got up to inquire.

They didn't have much hope, but the soldiers guarding them seemed to have been specially warned, so they didn't embarrass Xian Yujian. He laughed and said: "It is said that the gang from Kang State are digging traps."

Xian Yujian is not sure whether the news is true or false.

When he came back and told Yun Ce, Yun Ce looked tired: "Dig a trap? Has anyone said how big the trap is and how long it will take to dig it?"

Xian Yujian: "It is said that Shexing Pass will be surrounded."

Because it is too whimsical, the news is actually true - this weird brain circuit is indeed something that someone in my family can do.

Yun Ce thought for a moment: "Surround? Cut off food and grass?"

Xian Yujian sighed: "This food and grass is not easy to cut off."

Digging a circle of traps can indeed completely isolate Shexing Pass - you don't need to dig a whole circle, it is enough to have 7 or 8 traps - but the problem is that the Northern Desert is not a wooden stake, and it is impossible to watch the Kangguo soldiers dig up Shexing Pass. Become an island, but not blind.

Northern Desert will also send out elite interception and killing construction teams.

In terms of force alone, the latter may not be able to resist the former.

In addition, the construction time is also a stumbling block that hinders the plan. It is too difficult to completely trap the elites of the Northern Desert in Shexing Pass.

Yun Ce closed his eyes and calmed down for a while. Just when Xian Yujian thought he was asleep, he said, "It's not like there's no chance."

Where the opportunity lies, he did not say.

Their brothers and sisters have all become prisoners.

There are many people staring at them openly, but there are still many people watching them secretly, and some sensitive topics can only be touched upon.

Even Xian Yujian didn't know about the opportunity Yun Ce mentioned.

Because Zi Gu had no contact with the general as a prisoner.

Yun Ce is different. He is an acquaintance with Beijiu, the chief craftsman who will serve as the supervisor.

At the beginning, Beijiu needed help in testing the toughness and strength of the equipment. Yun Ce also looked at Beijiu's face in the past - the early establishment of Kang State, and could not find a few literary scholars/valiant warriors to help her. He was bumped into by other Mohists who also came to borrow someone from Beijiu.

【Young man, be diligent. 】

The smiling Mohist stroked Yun Ce's back.

Yun Ce almost exploded.

Resistance is written all over my hair.

Bei Jiu comforted her afterwards and said: "Uncle Shi is so old, no matter how hungry he is, he can't choose your head. She just wants to know the length of your spine. Recently, he is making a wooden man who can sweep the floor by himself." 】

Yun Ce said: [The wooden man who sweeps the floor by himself? 】

The chicken leg was turned twice in Beijiu's mouth, and the clean chicken bones were spat out: [It is troublesome to take care of the sawdust that is dug out every day. 】

Yunce’s social circle is not large at all.

Hugh Mu can't find many friends even during the holidays.

As soon as he had time, he was picked up by Bei Jiu to help him. When he finished his work, other Mohists would come over by chance. Seeing that he was there, they would pull him away with a smile. Every time Xiu Mu was arranged clearly.

After two visits, Yun Ce became a general supervisor and a non-staff member.

A public assistant.

Other Mohists always like to praise him for his philanthropy, willingness to help others, and his willingness to help others when they are in need. He is simply one of the five best young men in the Kang Dynasty, a role model for young unmarried officials, and the best son-in-law in the heart of his mother-in-law. The young master who will be the supervisor, Beijiu's uncle, is extremely satisfied with him.

As the son-in-law who is recognized as a prisoner, Yun Ce is naturally exposed to many more things than outsiders. They are as small as various "wooden cows and horses" that can walk on their own. Although they cannot be seen from their appearance as cows and horses - the poet who made them bluntly said that she is a cow and horse - cows and horses are born from the same root, so there is no need to rush into each other; they are as big as three in power. Weird firearms that are waiting for hairpins, or even fourth-class ones.

The former can walk tirelessly as long as they are infused with the pure energy of heaven and earth - if they are used to replace grain transporters, the loss of baggage during transportation can be minimized.

Taking an 800-person supply camp as an example, the number of guards is as few as 1,000. Adding in the reconnaissance and scouts, the number is close to 2,000. The baggage camp only escorts eighty to one hundred vehicles of grain and grass. If the terrain is special and can only be transported by manpower, the amount of baggage transported will be cut in half, but the manpower required will be doubled.

These people also consume food and grass on their way back and forth.

After deducting the consumption of these people on the road, military pay, and storage losses, the rest is what the frontline soldiers can receive. The soldiers received 10,000 shi of food and grass, and later they needed to set off with hundreds of thousands shi.

In order to save losses, we naturally have to rack our brains to find ways, and one of them is to shorten the distance between the granary and the front line as much as possible. Then there is the improvement of transportation equipment.

The "Wooden Ox and Flowed Horse" is undoubtedly a breakthrough, but the first version of "Wooden Oxen and Flowed Horse" still has many flaws. It still lacks the firepower to be used for large-scale transportation of grain. I don't know how many generations it has been replaced now.

And the latter?

Weird firearms are not very powerful, but the advantage is that there is no upper limit on their quantity.

As long as there is enough time, the Mohist can rub a lot of things that are comparable to third-class hairpins or fourth-class hairpins, and it is still a one-time use.

Even if it was him before...

Even if you are caught off guard, you will be blown to pieces.

It has little effect on the frontal battlefield, but is it used for blasting and digging traps?

That’s so useful!

This thought made Yun Ce feel better by three points.

Xian Yujian gave him medicine, and the senior brother fell asleep under the continuous tremors under his feet. Xian Yujian didn't sleep deeply and always maintained a alert posture. The next day, the sky just turned white, an urgent alarm sounded inside the pass, and the footsteps outside were chaotic.

Yunce was also woken up.

Have a good night's sleep and look better than yesterday.

“Why is it so noisy outside?”

Xian Yujian looked strange: "The trap is over halfway."

Yun Ce was stunned: "Over, over half?"

At this moment, the Northern Desert Army only had curse words in their hearts.

Who knows? When I woke up, the enemy who was still digging traps yesterday saw the project entering the final stage.

They all suspected that they had not slept all night.

This is more than ten days of sleep, right?

Liu Guan, who was preparing to send troops to clear out the Kangguo construction team today, even suspected that she was hearing hallucinations. She grabbed the messenger and confirmed it three times but still got the same reply. In the end, I simply pushed him away and went to the city to find out what was going on. An extremely obvious "deep trench" is revealed at the end of the line of sight. One end is inward from the left and the other is inward from the right. The two are running in both directions.

"How can this be?"

Liu Guan almost left his fingerprints on the wall.

Everyone in the Northern Desert also felt the same shock.

How can this be! !

Haha, this is really possible.

In addition to the ink supervisor and the skilled martial artist under Shen Tang's tent, she also has the only remaining members of the Gongxi clan. Jimo Qiu and Gong Xiqiu were worth half of the engineering team.

To be precise, it is Gong Xiqiu who has this weight.

As the high priest, Jimo Qiu can continuously borrow strength from the earth and continue to cheer for his younger brother. Gong Xiqiu is only responsible for summoning the martial arts totem, and he rolls in the mud with one person and one python. The other soldiers are only responsible for transporting all the mud away.

Why is it a wallow?

Jimo Qiu can use divine power to soften the earth and turn solid land into soft mire. Gong Xiqiu only had to control the Martial Arts Totem to dive in headlong, swinging his tail left and right - there was no way in this world, and the python would naturally find it if it climbed too much.

Shen Tang stood on top of the giant excavator, aiming with one eye.

“The angle is thousands of miles different...” If this was a bridge construction project, the car would have to turn the steering wheel hard and drift when driving here. The payment cannot be accepted at all.

Complaints are complaints, Shen Tang is in a good mood that can be seen with the naked eye.

She could already picture the scene in Beimo's mind where the group of people got up early but were frightened by this scene, and their faces looked like they were eating shit. The more I thought about it, the happier I became, and I burst out laughing uncontrollably: "It's wonderful!"

Shen Tang was looking down from a high position, with his hands on his hips.

“It’s not a waste that I’ve been here eating ashes for so long.”

Just when he was feeling triumphant, Bai Su came over in a flash.

Clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is something going on at Shooting Star Pass."

The door is closed and the beast is released.

Shen Tang suppressed his smile and put his hands on his brows. Sure enough, he saw smoke and dust rising vaguely in the direction of Shexing Pass, approaching here. She chuckled and raised her hand to greet everyone in the construction team: "Feng Jianzhahu, clean up everyone's business and change places!"

After she digs it out, she can fight these idiots.

As soon as these words came out, all the Mohists packed their things.

One after another, the giant excavators turned into the "Jian Ai" who was immersed in light. He threw "Jian Ai" on his back, and the other brave warriors formed a formation to use speed-boosting words. It took more than ten breaths from start to finish, and the construction team's feet were slippery.

“Where are the people?”

Looking at the cliff at his feet, Liu Guan looked gloomy.

Where are the shadows of Kang’s soldiers and horses?

Not to mention those people, even the giant artifacts that the scouts said were as tall as a dozen people were nowhere to be seen, leaving only countless weird ruts on the ground. Judging from the width and depth of these tracks, the information relayed by the scouts was correct. But how long has passed since then?

How could these things disappear?

Unless, these are all creations of Yanling?

Liu Guan's brain was spinning rapidly.

The fist hanging by his side was so hard that it began to tremble.

“Chase, send someone to find out their whereabouts!”

The general who led his troops out of the customs walked to the edge of the "cliff" on horseback, looked at the ground nearly three feet below, and was silent for a while.

“How should these holes be filled?”

Although the military formation's word spirit can also "cover it with water and earth", most of the soil is already present under the feet. You can use it to block the enemy by using the word spirit, and a small number of it can be transformed by the word spirit. The latter will overflow into the energy of heaven and earth as the spirit of speech expires.

In other words—

If you want to fill holes in the Northern Desert, you can only use real mud.

rob Peter to pay Paul.

He can figure out why the Kangguo people also took away the mud and demolished the east wall and the west wall without leaving any bricks for them.

"You can't send people to dig holes and fill them in..."

They can’t fill holes as fast as others can dig them.

Liu Guan took a deep breath.

"They have a good plan, and we also have a wall ladder. In the worst case, they will be tricked. Who said that if they dig a trap, food and grass will not be sent in? You can use the spirit of words to create a trestle!"

After hearing this, the general took a look at the width of the trap.

The narrowest point is three feet and four feet, and the widest point is nearly four feet.

Making trestles with words and spirits may seem like a solution to an urgent need, but upon closer inspection, it is just poison to quench thirst, because the consumption of trestles’ words and spirits is related to the length, width, duration and load limit of the trestle. How much does a baggage truck weigh? At the same time, not only the baggage trains but also the grain transporters from the baggage camp had to pass. How many baggage cars and people could be allowed to cross the trestle at one time?

If the baggage trains are queuing up to cross the bridge...

I can’t imagine how chaotic that scene would be.

At that time, even if Kang's soldiers and horses do not come to harass, the efficiency of food transportation will be greatly reduced, not to mention that Kang's soldiers and horses cannot miss such a good opportunity for a sneak attack. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Unexpectedly, what would cause them even more headaches was yet to come.

The scouts searched for Kang's soldiers and horses to no avail, and Liu Guan returned without success. As soon as he returned to Shexing Pass, the earth dragon that had stopped began to turn over again. The familiar wave of smoke appears in another location.

Liu Guan: “…”

Taking a deep breath: "What are you doing standing still? Send troops to clear it out!"

The same drama continued throughout the day.

The soldiers and horses from Shexingguan ran out, and Shen Tang fled immediately. They took them back, and Shen Tang and others ran to other places to continue digging holes. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, stick, giant excavator, working non-stop, so fast that it can emit smoke.

It won’t work if you don’t seize the time.

Bei Mo is pressing forward step by step.

I went back and forth a dozen times.

In a hurry, Shen Tang didn't care about the construction standards. He could dig the pit as deep as he wanted and widen it as wide as he could, leaving all other directions to chance. As long as the shooting star can be closed and circled, it will be fine.

The construction standards of Shen Tang are that there are no standards.

“Huh—I’m so exhausted—it’s like I’m hiding from the city management.”

After dealing with sand and dust for two days in a row, she didn't bother to wash up. Her whole body was dirty and the color was comparable to that of a Minion. Shen Tang sat on top of the giant excavator and ate steamed buns. Just after taking two bites, a scout reported back that the supply camp in the Northern Desert was discovered by the forward inspection.

Shen Tang counted with his fingers.

“Ji Shou is not here, you can do it, just do it to them!”

When Shexingguan sent troops to respond, they only saw a scorched earth.

The baggage vehicles were burned to the ground, and the food and grass disappeared.

There is still a small Jingguan built on the spot made of one hundred and eighty heads.

There is a flag on it.

The flag is torn, obviously someone’s clothes were temporarily requisitioned.

The letter is written with two big characters: dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

【Xina! 】

The soldiers and horses took the flag back.

There was silence in the hall, and you could hear a pin drop.

Until a scoff broke the silence.

The only one who still had the guts to laugh at this moment was Werder. He dismissed everyone and said, "A few little tricks have frightened you all? It's true that each generation is worse than the last."

Brother Tude suppressed the anxiety in his heart.

The scale of transporting grain and grass this time is not large, it is just an outpost, and if it is burned, it will be burned, but it also reflects how much trouble the Kangguo soldiers and horses have brought to them this time! If the enemy succeeds once, he will succeed a second time. Even if he cannot succeed again and again, there are tens of thousands of people in the northern desert at Shexing Pass, and the daily consumption of food and grass is a huge amount. If this continues, sooner or later, they will run out of food.

Yunda said: "If you want to make it die -"

Looking across the crowd.

“Make it crazy first.”

“Let them burn the grain and grass as many times as they want.”

“We can make mistakes eight times out of ten, but—”

“They only do it once.”
