Chapter 196: Exhausted
Lu Shi is like this, during the day on the school field to guide everyone to train, at night leisure to give lectures, although the lectures are not as good as the later generations to memorize the lesson plan to correct the homework, the lectures are mostly imaginative, but that also requires a lot of energy, after the lecture has to rush to the shed to guide the steelmaking of guns (guns), by those red-eyed craftsmen squeezed not much physical knowledge. The cavalry supervisor sergeant archery team, as well as the old battalion, also have to pay attention at all times, and the endless busyness made Lu Shi gradually unable to bear it, his body was obviously emaciated, and his walking was no longer as fierce as before, but became vain.
Since he went to Woniu Mountain to ask for help, until now, nearly a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Shidu has spent his days and nights in a busy life, and it is the last time he fainted in Mizhi County, and he can be regarded as sleeping peacefully, and then sleeping well has become a luxury.
But you can't stop, the counteroffensive of the official army in your own judgment is not far away, and the time for yourself is limited.
The current signs are a bit like a cold in the future, knowing that there is no flu yet, it should be called wind cold, which is caused by extreme weakness of the body and extreme disharmony of yin and yang.
At this time, there was no special medicine, it was said that Banlangen's thing worked, so Lu Shi asked San'er to go to the third uncle to ask for it, but it didn't get better after drinking it for a few days.
In fact, Lu Shi knew that as long as he covered his head and slept for a day or two, he could completely recover, and his own body, under the tempering of Sudan red, melamine, gutter oil and poisonous rice in his previous life, with the current Daming, a pure natural weak virus and bacteria, he couldn't help himself at all, as long as he had a good night's sleep, so all the brothers who were interested in crossing should not bring cumbersome drugs in a limited space, of course, if they want to make a fortune with drugs, it is an exception.
But, again, sleep has become a luxury for yourself.
Lu Shi listened to the report of the craftsman captain Zhao Blacksmith in the craftsman camp, and kept rubbing his cheeks with his hands, hoping to make his facial blood active and make him look more energetic.
"Strategist, you better take a rest, the difficulties we encounter, I will gather my brothers to study them carefully, and it is estimated that they can be solved."
Lu Shi moved his body with difficulty, making himself sit down and look a little energetic: "You say, I'll listen." Then he smiled and said: "In fact, everyone's wisdom is infinite, not something that I can solve comprehensively, especially my words are not good, not only will I develop a sense of dependence on everyone, and I will not be enterprising, but also will be led astray by my ideas." Lu Shi said with difficulty.
"The military teacher taught right, the talent of the military division is really in the world Zhuge , no, much better than Zhuge , you are to the point at every point, can make us open our mouth, can let us see what manpower can't, just what you just said about the fixed pulley and the moving pulley, that is, we never thought about it, I only knew that this little pulley in the use of my ancestors for generations, there is such a magical effect, so three or four thousand catties of steel furnace, originally needed dozens of people to handle, according to the fixed pulley combination pointed out by Mr., It is easy to do it by three people, and there is no danger, this technology is coupled with the lever principle handed over to your students by the military advisor, then repairing the city in the future and building the embankment will be twice the result with half the effort. ”
Seeing that Lu Shi's face was not good, Blacksmith Zhao hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry sir, it's not that we steal the art, it's really when you are lecturing students, that, that-"
Lu Shi smiled with difficulty, shook his hand and said: "It's the best for everyone to listen to it, and it also saves me time to tell you about it, especially the craftsman brothers can draw inferences from each other, which really makes me happy." You go on, don't pick up nice words, talk about what you don't understand, and I'll do my best to answer them. ”
Seeing that Lu Shi was only tired but not annoyed by stealing art, Blacksmith Zhao continued.
Lu Shi listened, his head was no longer enough, his spirit could no longer concentrate, and his thoughts continued to run far away for a while.
According to his judgment and that of Zhao Dahai and Chen Ce, it will take a month for the official army to force back the Mongolian Tatars, and then a month of rest, two months before and after, and now more than 20 days have passed, and there is still a month and a half of time buffer on that side, however, we can't wait for the official army to attack and then start to go south, we must act before the official army reacts, and the official army is caught off guard, in that way, the strength of the guards and landlord fortresses along the way of the Ming Dynasty can't react at all, Then you can break through the layers of obstacles and kill Weinan with a lot of cottages, so this time is one and a half months, forty-five days.
Why do you have to race against time all the time, why do you always have time to get over yourself?
Forty-five days, how urgent is it for yourself? Although the brothers are under their own encouragement, with the support of their fathers and fellow villagers, they are training with their lives, but there are still many things that are not swept away, such as this gun, the quota is 5,000, and now it is hard to create 3,000, and the saber is only 400, and now it is beginning to fall into the stage of stopping work and waiting for materials, but the rattan armor is progressing rapidly, which is the preparation of the cottage almost mobilized nearly a thousand old people day and night, that is, a weak woman like the sister-in-law, after cutting rattan on the mountain, They all began to wear out their fingers under the guidance of the old man, and they were the result of working day and night.
"Strategist, Strategist?" Blacksmith Zhao obviously saw that Lu Shi was already absent-minded, and when he saw that Lu Shi's face was already pale and frightened, he hurriedly called out to Lu Shi carefully.
Lu Shi raised his eyes, shook his head hard, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Captain Zhao, I'm really sleepy." Then the old man blushed and said, "Is there any herbal tea?" Get a bowl of pick-me-ups. ”
In fact, Lu Shi had already drunk a full two teapots of tea in this short period of time, and Captain Zhao had already begun to worry about Lu Shi's body, but seeing that Lu Shi was still urging himself to continue, he had to ask someone to take a pot of herbal tea again, and Lu Shi didn't pour it into the water bowl, so he poured it mouth-to-mouth, and then shook his head to make himself more sober, put down the empty teapot, and said apologetically to Captain Zhao: "You continue." ”
At this time, Captain Zhao had already seen that Lu Shi was wrong, so he didn't dare to say that he had encountered problems and didn't understand in the implementation of Lu Shijiao's various methods, so he began to talk about his achievements, hoping that the military advisor would listen happily, and kept looking outside while talking.
At the beginning, I saw that the military advisor was exhausted, but no matter what, he didn't say that he wouldn't go to the military advisor to rest, so he quietly asked Wang Jian, who was bitter-faced, to go to the cottage to find the third uncle, why can't he come now?
"Regarding the problem of arrows, the cottage is not busy now, Deputy Commander Zhao Dahai and Li Li's Black Tiger Guard use ordinary bows and arrows, and the arrows needed are also ordinary feather arrows, this time we have captured a lot in Mizhi, about 200,000, which can be used by cavalry after several major battles for the time being."
Lu Shi nodded, and then asked, "What about the longbow and arrows?" That can be different from ordinary arrows, and besides, in the future, when we kill Weinan, the longbow will be our reliance on attacking the city, and this is not sloppy.
Blacksmith Zhao tried his best to hide his anxiety and distress in an excited tone, "The longbow invented by the military advisor is really powerful, and we have begun to improve it according to your new method, but this is not difficult, so the carpentry battalion is very fast, and there are ten days and a half months to replace the five hundred old bows." At the same time, arrows are not a problem, according to the proposal of the military advisor, we use gypsum to cast the model, with molten iron, we can produce 1,000 at a time, 10,000 a day, these many days, we have cast close to 100,000, but the iron material is limited, so it is temporarily discontinued. ”
Seeing that the brush remembered by the military advisor had already drawn a long path several times, and his hand was already trembling and he had to use his other hand to support it, Zhao Blacksmith's eyes were red, and his voice was a little choked. The apprentice who followed behind Blacksmith Zhao whimpered even more.
Lu Shi looked up and saw it, and said with a difficult smile: "It's a little sleepy, but I must understand the output, progress, and difficulties of the craftsman battalion now, as well as our ordnance reserves and time." When Lu Shi said this, he couldn't help but touch his hand to the teapot again, but he shook it, it was empty, and he couldn't help but smile apologetically at Blacksmith Zhao, "Time waits for no one, the border army will not give us time, we must move the whole village south before the official army is launched, there are too many things to do during this period, I really don't dare to delay a little, Captain Zhao, please forgive me for being anxious." ”
The tea was granted to these craftsmen by Lu, and it can be regarded as a welfare, in the high temperature and scorching heat, light salt water and tea, this is the greatest benefit that Lu Shi can give to these craftsmen, but this small act was moved by the craftsmen who had lived at the bottom for thousands of years to cry bitterly, and they all held their spirits to build the weapons of the cottage and worked hard, Lu Shi drank up the four pots of tea in this meeting, how not to make Lu Shi feel guilty?
"It's rare that Chunlan is no longer around, or you can't do anything, so you better hurry up." Lu Shi lowered his head and continued to record the ordnance inventory and problems on the thick stack of papers.
"According to the arrangement of the military advisor, we made the arrows, and handed over the rest to the women and children of the old camp to polish the arrow shafts and paste the feathers, and the progress is still very fast." Blacksmith Zhao was already in a trembling voice when he said this, but seeing that Lu Shi was still waiting for his report, he could only continue: "Actually, I think 100,000 long arrows and arrows should be basically enough. ”
Lu Shi looked up at Blacksmith Zhao with red eyes, waiting for him to explain, he really didn't have the strength to ask again.
"Our longbow arrows are larger than the standard arrows of the official army, and our arrows are shot at the head of the city, but the officers and soldiers cannot use them, so our arrows are not made of easily damaged cast iron, they are all made of steel that you have trained, and after a battle, as long as we defeat the enemy, we can recover the arrow clusters, repair the damage and reuse it."
This is true, in ancient times, in order to prevent their own arrows from being picked up and reflected by the enemy, most of the warring sides used easily broken cast iron to make arrow clusters, made arrow shafts from very brittle wood, and tried to make the arrow clusters as disposable consumer goods as possible, and captured 100,000 arrows on the battlefield after each battle, but only half of them could really be used again during the period.
And your longbow avoids this, so it can be built strong and can be used back and forth, but only if we can destroy the other party. to retract the cluster of arrows you shot.
"Very good, Captain Zhao, please continue."
Blacksmith Zhao was just about to speak, but he saw a group of people coming outside the door, at that time, Blacksmith Zhao's face was happy, and then his whole body was paralyzed to the ground as if he had no bones.
(Pathetic?) If you feel pitiful, help recommend it, please, hehehe)
