Chapter 37: Be Prepared
After returning to the Li camp, Fang Hao found Lin Tian, "Lin Tian, as the current leader of our coalition army, you shouldn't have such kindness, you are not only responsible for the Li people, but also responsible for the life and death of all of us, do you know that those people will come to attack us again when they take up arms after they go back?" ”
Fang Hao still gave Lin Tian a lot of face, at least he didn't preach Lin Tian like this in front of people. Lin Tian smiled bitterly, "Fang Hao, don't be so angry, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”
"Then you say, why did you let our enemies go back?"
"Do you mean to let the tiger go back to the mountain?"
"What are you going to let the tiger go back to the mountain, I'm talking about those ghost soldiers, where did the tiger come from?"
Lin Tian was embarrassed, "I'm a metaphor, the enemy is a tiger in our eyes, it is fierce, if we can kill it, we will naturally not let it go easily." But what if there is another tiger in this mountain? So what will happen if we let this tiger go back, do you think? ”
Lin Tiantou gave Fang Hao a meaningful smile and let the other party think for himself.
"Tigers are not social animals, and if there is one tiger in the mountains, then the two tigers will fight to the death. But there is only one tiger on the ghost side, and it is still a white-eyed wolf. ”
"It's because it's a white-eyed wolf, and I've heard that Bai Yan is more and more fond of cultivating new people to replace the heroes of the older generation who put him on the throne. If Doru's attack is not effective at this time and he doesn't capture us, do you think Bai Yi will find an opportunity to replace Doru? So in order to protect himself, will Doru take refuge in us? ”
"Yes, this is an opportunity, wooing Dolu will definitely give Bai Yan a fatal blow. How did you come up with the idea? ”
Looking at Fang Hao, who was smiling and couldn't close his mouth, Lin Tian opened his mouth and said: "But how we can resist Dolu's subsequent attack is indeed a big problem at present, now is not the time to be happy, only by surviving this level is the time for us to laugh and cry." ”
"That's true, but I still believe in you, now we lack a resounding name, and then the name that will resound throughout this land, you can think of one."
"Yes, who rushed in and yelled at me just now, name this job, you can't come."
"No, no, no, you are our leader, and you have to take the name to make sense."
Lin Tian thought for a few moments, and then said, "Let's call it the Wolf Slayer Army." ”
"The meaning of killing the wolf army, killing the wolf, killing the white man, well, the name of the army is not bad, but what about the name of our alliance?"
"It's not time for the alliance to be named, let's talk about it when we get a foothold in this land!"
"Since you say so, let's do it first, I'll go out and tell everyone the good news, it will definitely boost morale."
At this time, no one knew how big Lin Tian's dream was, it was not so much ambition. Yes, since the formation of this army, Lin Tian has more and more thoughts in his heart. Maybe Lin Tian already had a name in his heart, this name for the future, a name that resounded all over the earth, but what Lin Tian wanted was to make this name resound in this world.
On the second day, Lin Tian officially announced the name of the Wolf Slayer Army, and the first battle last night completely boosted everyone's morale. There may have been people who were dying before, and it was impossible for them to defeat the regular troops of the ghost side with their rabble, but last night's battle completely changed their perception.
Lin Tian told everyone about the future, and more and more people began to look forward to it. In the future, there will be no oppression, no slavery, and no slaves, and everyone will live and work in peace and contentment. The laborers who were solved began to believe more and more in Lin Tian, the food and clothing parents, only they understood the suffering of being enslaved, and no one yearned for the life of a free man more than them. This improvised rebellion alliance became more and more united, and began to think in one place and work in one place.
The council is now serving as the headquarters of the wolfkiller army, and it has begun to assemble again. The expansion of the army was put on the agenda, and since more than 500 weapons were collected last night, this batch of weapons can arm more than 500 people. The shortage of weapons is still a big problem for the Wolf Slayer Army at present, so Lin Tian plans to go to Wuheng again to find a way to solve the problem of weapons and food seeds.
Everyone was very worried about the safety of Lin Tian's travel, but Lin Tian said that at present, he only needs to temporarily solve Dolu, and he should be able to have a respite, and at that time it is also an opportunity for Lin Tian to go to Wuheng. After the ghost side is recruited again, it can be said that the ghost side is already empty and can't be in the void.
Lin Tian told everyone, "If Doru is strong, we need to hold on for the time being, so we can't use the grain we collected last night at present, and we must arrange more people to fish, marinate the fish to dry, hoard food, and dig a canal to bring the water from Jinghu Lake to the camp, and this canal must be hidden underground." We may be in for a tough battle to hold on, and if we get through it, we will be victorious. ”
None of the people questioned Lin Tian's arrangement, including Fang Hao, who had always prided himself on being smart, and did not say a word, listening to Lin Tian's analysis and arrangement throughout the whole process. After that, more than 500 young and strong men were selected from the labor team to join the wolf killing army, and the wolf killing army now has a scale of 1,000 people. Although the strength of the army is still far from that of the three major tribes, among the general large tribes, this military strength is already very high.
However, although the quantity has been improved to a certain extent, the quality is very insufficient, due to the tight time, Lin Tian had to order the wolf killer army to devote half of the time to practice every day. When Dolu came, Lin Tian didn't know, Lin Tian had to race against time. In addition to resting and eating, he works all the time. Lin Tian also personally joined the labor army, instructed fishing, and personally participated in digging ditches to divert water.
It was already the second day before the battle had passed, and Doru had not yet come, so Lin Tian sent people to investigate thirty miles away, and once he found the whereabouts of Doru's troops, he would come back and report it as soon as possible. Thanks to the fact that a lot of horses were captured after the last battle, it seems that these horses are still cavalry sent by Lin Tian and the others, otherwise Lin Tian and they will not have to find a bargain, it is not easy to raise horses in Yidi, after all, it is already very difficult to feed people. These spies were all on horseback and were very fast, so Lin Tian had enough time to react.
The canal was about to enter the water today, Lin Tian came to the camp and opened the gate himself. At first, it was still a stream of water, but then it was muddy, which makes people quote. Lin Tian took people to the source of the canal to check the situation, the water at the source was still very clear, and the pipeline to divert water was connected by a hollow tree.
Lin Tian saw that the silt around the water intake was sucked in by the pipe, which caused the water to be turbid. Lin Tian grabbed a handful of silt, which was still very sticky. Lin Tian told everyone to build another tree trunk, go to the depths of the lake, and hang it in the air with a support, so that there would be no silt.
Lin Tian helped carry a section of trees to roast on the fire, and took the surface of the charred wood to smoke, I don't know what kind of plant it is, the smoke produced is very thick, this is a means of antiseptic of the earth, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.
Seeing the wood for the barbecue, Lin Tian suddenly thought, what if Doru used fire attack, the camp was all wood, and it burned instantly. Immediately afterwards, Lin Tian's first reaction was to splash dung, which was a common method of fire prevention in the ancient period of Lin Tian's world.
But it's too disgusting, I can't even think about it, and I get along with feces every day. So Lin Tian thought of the silt in the lake just now, the silt was very sticky, and the silt could be smeared on the wall or tent, so that the purpose of fire prevention could also be achieved.
Just do it when you think of it, Lin Tian led people to salvage the silt in the lake, at first people thought what was the use of this silt, it was not for the water source, but the lake was too big. Because of Lin Tian's prestige, these people still carried it out to the letter. Until Lin Tian tested it, in order to be realistic, he used fire to dry the smeared mud, and sure enough, the fire prevention effect was very good. A few people next to him looked at Lin Tian as if they were looking at a god, they were really gods, they could think of any way.
After erecting the canal and smearing the silt, Lin Tian led people to use bamboo to connect the pipes to introduce the spring water in the mountains to the Li people. In fact, Jinghu Lake is a brackish water lake, and it is not impossible to drink after the water is boiled, but it still has some salty taste, Lin Tianhe and the people are not used to drinking it, and they still feel that the spring water in the mountains is sweet and delicious.
It is much faster to use bamboo to erect pipes, and the bamboo pipes are not buried deeply, and it takes a little effort to erect 2 water diversion pipes. As for why water is introduced from Jinghu Lake, it is natural that the Li people do not want to spare any time to make salt, because the salt industry has now become the pillar industry of the Li people, and the future development of the Li people and the allies cannot do without it.
