Chapter 19: Pondering in the Dark
After more than ten days of hard work, the martial arts team members in the tea bowl village did not stop for a moment. The circular fortifications built by bandits at the entrance of Chawanzhai were demolished by several old martial arts team members, and even the two simple wooden houses were not spared. The dismantled coarse timber was firmly nailed into a row with iron nails found in the tea bowl village, and then two trenches more than one meter deep were dug in the hard earth, and the wooden rafts were half buried and half exposed, and then compacted and constructed, and immediately formed a sandwich wooden wall more than one person high.
Behind the wooden wall, I don't know if the monkeys found some dead vines and weeds from the Chawanzhai Village, boiled them into a viscous slurry, mixed with pebbles and fine sand fished out of the pool, and poured them into the sandwich wooden wall half-dry. But after three or five days' work, the pebble mortar that was filled into the sandwich wooden wall was already as hard as the blue rock in the mountains, and it was estimated that even a grenade could not be exploded!?
Behind the wooden wall, there are only 200 meters apart, and several old martial arts team members rely on the tortuous direction of the mountain cracks, clinging to the mountain wall, and build two half-buried bunkers with bluestone, and also use the pebble mortar made by monkeys to thickly paste the inner and outer layers. From the shooting hole on the bunker that was two palms high above the ground, you could see the crevice of the mountain that had been deliberately leveled over the ground, and with the help of two flower traps, it was enough to block the enemy who rushed into the crevice after breaking through the wooden wall.
A mile back, the natural stone caves on the cliffs on both sides of several mountain crevices are also called useful. Climbing a high staircase into a stone cave that is not too big, the people at the bottom of the mountain cannot see the situation in the stone cave, but the people and horses in ambush in the stone cave can aim at the target from the stone gap that half-seals the entrance of the stone cave, so that they can shoot and snipe in a good time!
On the cliffs on both sides of the mountain cracks, the two stone crevices that can climb up the cliff from the outside are carefully cleaned, and the old vines that can make people use their hands are all cut clean, and even the raised stones that can kick their feet are also called the monkeys who slowly fall from the cliff with a rope tied to their waists to smash them clean with a sledgehammer. Sheep's head stones and ox head stones collected from various places on the cliff are placed in piles along both sides of the mountain cracks. When someone rushes into the crack of the mountain, he only needs to cut the rattan net rope that blocks the stone, and the stone falling from the air is not as powerful as a meteor falling to the ground?
On the flat ground in front of the mountain crevice that had been cleared by the bandits, the shrubs that were already a little yellow were carefully swept again. Countless pits the size of a tea bowl and a foot deep have been dug, and no matter how many people and horses hit the wooden wall in the crack of the mountain, they only need to step on one, or break a leg! And the various traps that were densely packed in the woods became more effective after being improved and reinforced by the monkey and Zhong Youtian.
Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who has newly joined the martial arts team, is carrying out the most basic queue training and combat training under the leadership of several other old martial arts team members, compared with the two, Meng Mancang, who is responsible for teaching sword skills, seems quite relaxed, and has even begun to further teach several new team members who have strong martial arts skills and have a fast grasp of knife skills.
And Zhong Youtian, who was in charge of queue training, was a little crying and laughing - except for Mo Tian, who was able to respond correctly to the password of queue training in a very short time, the other new team members were almost all left and right. Zhong Youtian, who was really helpless, was in a hurry, so he simply asked all the new team members to take off the shoes they were wearing on their left foot, which barely let the new team members know the difference between left and right.
Except for the maintenance and use of firearms that can be quickly used in case of sound, the other new team members almost did not have much outstanding performance, and there were even many characters who fell asleep during target training. This is especially true of the political discipline study every night, even if the chestnut group speaks in simple terms, the new team members sitting below are all strong to deal with errands, Mo Tianliu doze off every time he studied political discipline, and a few times he slept soundly, and simply snored and pestled his head to the ground, but it made the other new team members laugh, and even made the chestnut group cry and laugh......
Don't look at Mo Tian's stay in the political study class, he has always been sleepy and has a nose and eyes, but whenever he chatted with the chestnut group about the situation of the villages in Tieping Mountain, the direction of the mountain, the devils, the strongholds of the puppet army and the bandits of all sizes, he immediately came to the spirit, and he always danced with his hands and eyebrows. It's only been ten days of hard work, and under the question and answer between the chestnut group and Mo Tianliu, and the god blows the sea chat, the map of Qingle County that the chestnut group is holding as a treasure has been changed beyond recognition.
Seeing that the fortifications in the tea bowl village have begun to take shape, and those new martial arts team Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village have also been trained to look a little bit, the chestnut group chose a crisp autumn day, leaving a few old martial arts team members to guard the tea bowl village, leading all the new members of the martial arts team in the Dawu village Ding Zhuang carried the captured grain out of the tea bowl village, and walked straight to the direction of Dawu Village.
Carrying a load full of wheat, his body was already thin and small, and he almost forgot his backbone by the heavy burden in case of a ring, but when he thought that the chestnut group had said that these grains were brought home to the old mother at home, in case of a ring, he immediately had the spirit, and walked vigorously on the steep mountain road, and after a while, he walked to the front of the team, almost walking side by side with Zhong Youtian, who was walking in front of the team empty-handed.
Also carrying a load of food, Mo Tianliu procrassipatory near the end of the team, a little listlessly following the team and moving forward, and from time to time he whispered to Sha Bangcui, who was walking not far in front of him: "Bang mallet, you go slower...... Help me get some more food......"
After asking Mo Tianliu to shout a few times, Sha Bangcui, who was carrying a load full of grain, simply stopped, stretched out his hand to tear off a few vines from the trees on the side of the road, and tied the grain burden that Mo Tianliu was carrying and the grain burden he was carrying into a stretch of the gable, and one person carried all the grain, and then whispered to Mo Tianliu, who was empty-handed: "Tianliu, what the hell are you doing?" Captain Congli said that he wanted to send food back to Dawu Village, and I looked at you like I was very unhappy? Tell me - what are you thinking about? ”
Seeing that there was no one around, Mo Tianliu shook his head weakly: "What else can you think about...... I said mallet, you and I...... There are also these Ding Zhuang people who came out of Dawu Village to water the ground, I'm afraid they will have to hang! ”
With round eyes, Sha Bangcui suddenly stopped: "What? Say good things about gongs and drums in front of you, can Mrs. Jiang still mess with us? ”
Waving his hand towards Sha Bangcui, Mo Tianliu still looked weak: "This is none of the business of the old lady Jiang!" Think about it, since we learned about people when we were children until now, you don't say that you have seen it - have you ever heard of a family that delivers food to the village? ”
After being stunned for a moment, Sha Bangcui slowly shook his head: "That's right...... I've never heard of it! The people who entered the dreadlocks wanted to save some body and send them home, so they had to sneak around, for fear that someone in the sidelines would see it, and then bring the disaster to their own homes......"
Stretching out his hand to pat on the shoulder frame carried by Sha Bangcui, Mo Tianliu nodded towards the group of chestnuts walking in the middle of the team: "The big boss has released all the people in the original tea bowl village locks, and after ten days of hard work, it is estimated that the big and small locks in Tieping Mountain can all know that the tea bowl village has changed masters!" Today, if you send food to Dawu Village with such fanfare, it will be even more solid, Chawanzhai and Dawu Village are wearing a pair of pants, aren't they? ”
"So what?"
“....... You're only going to be a mallet in your life! After the news spread, Dawu Village and Chawanzhai were tied to a bench! There is a tea bowl village in one day, and the handmaidens next to it dare not easily provoke Dawu Village! But as long as it is Chawanzhai and does not protect Dawu Village...... What do you think could happen?! ”
"Then aren't we all staying in the tea bowl village? Where can you ignore Dawu Village? ”
"And what about our water?!"
Blinking his eyes, Sha Bangcui frowned and muttered and calculated: "If you stay in Chawanzhai, you won't have water to water the ground...... When I went back to the village to farm, there was no tea bowl village to protect the village....... You can't take care of your head if you don't care about it...... Rats drill bellows - gas ...... at both ends"
Sighing softly, Mo Tianliu stepped up and walked side by side with Sha Bangcui: "I've figured it out...... If Li Da can always follow the rules and roads he said every night, I'm afraid it will be really difficult for us to get the water in Dawu Village in our hands! As for those rules and roads, which ones are all going to the justice of people's hearts, and which ones are also the doorways of putting others before themselves! Listening to the meaning of Li Da's voice, he is just a petty official in the Eighth Route Army who obeys the rules, and there are many older officials who are also acting according to these rules! It's not good...... Can this Eighth Route Army achieve great things!? ”
Looking at Mo Tianliu walking beside him suspiciously, Sha Bangcui couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Every night Captain Li teaches the rules, don't you rely on me to doze off?" Several times you've slept on the floor......"
"You're stupid and I'm stupid?! You look at me with my eyes closed every night, but my ears are ridged, and I can hear every word that Master Li says clearly! As far as he said the night before, when the devils are defeated and the world is peaceful in the future, the big guys will be able to get a piece of land to plant...... This is to beat away the devil, but it really can't be done in three years! Even if what he said is true, we will water the ground...... It's going to be years before it gets to you......"
"What then?"
"What can I do? Let's honestly follow the big boss and do it! I'm afraid that the idea of the big boss who fought before to scatter the gang and dump the seedlings really won't work......"
