Xiao Tianjian led the crowd to climb the Zhuang wall early in the morning to observe the situation of the official army camp outside Zhuang, Xiao Tianjian took out a copper cylinder from a leather cylinder on his waist, and came to the front of him to look at the official army camp outside the village.

The generals all looked at Xiao Tianjian curiously, not knowing what this thing in his hand was, why didn't he use his eyes to see it, but he wanted to go to such a copper pipe to see it?

After Xiao Tianjian held the copper pipe and looked at it for a while, he put down his hand and said to the generals: "It seems that the officers and soldiers will not come out of the camp to attack us today!" They are hiding in the camp right now, and they are busy building the camp! I guess this group of officers and soldiers is ready to spend time with us here! This seems a bit of a hassle! ”

Luo Li also looked in the direction of the official army camp, but the result was hazy and only a rough look, but he couldn't see what the people in the official army camp were doing, so he asked Xiao Tianjian: "General, why can't I see clearly?" What did you just use? Is it possible to see further? ”

Li Xuanzhu, Shi Ran and the others also looked at the copper skin in Xiao Tianjian's hand curiously, waiting for Xiao Tianjian to answer this question for them.

Xiao Tianjian looked down at the copper pipe in his hand, and smiled at the generals: "I'll tell you the truth!" This thing can indeed see a little farther! You'll find out if you take it first! ”

After saying that, he handed the copper pipe to Luo Li, who immediately picked it up and brought it to his eyes, looked at the official and military camp in the distance, and then immediately exclaimed: "My God, what is this?" I actually saw a lot farther, haha! You can see clearly, those turtle grandsons are indeed building a camp! Tsk, this thing is really good! I couldn't see it, but now I see it! Ha ha! Awesome!

Hey? Fuck, they're going to fight us here! Is it just to hide? Let's see if Lao Tzu doesn't take out your turtle grandchildren and kill them! ”

Li Xuanzhu was so anxious that he snatched the copper pipe in Luo Li's hand, and hurried to look at it in front of him, but immediately shouted: "What the hell!" Luo Li, aren't you? Why can't I see it? Why does it look farther away? ”

Luo Li immediately shouted, "Where can I coax you? It's really far-sighted! People who couldn't see clearly used this to see even their noses and eyes saw it! How can I lie to you? ”

Xiao Tianjian turned his head to look at it, and couldn't help but smile a little dumbly, reached out and took the copper pipe from Li Xuanzhu's hand, turned around and handed it to him again: "You took it upside down, take a look from this end!" ”

At this time, Li Xuanzhu shouted: "My mother! Now you can see it clearly! Good boy! I really saw a lot farther! Good stuff! It seems that the general is right, this gang of Wang Balamb really intends to shrink their heads into their shells and come out! Grandma's, is it just shrunk up? Brother Luo is right, let's go and take them out and crush them to death one by one! ”

Shi Ran, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't hold it back, so he went up and snatched the copper pass from Li Xuanzhu's hand, squeezed an eye in front of him and looked at it, and said in surprise: "What the hell is this?" How can you see so far? I really even saw the nose and eyes! Ha ha! If only we had this thing, we would be able to see the enemy from a distance, and we wouldn't have to risk it! As soon as Shi Ran said that it was his old business, he immediately realized the effect of this kind of thing on their scouts, and his saliva almost flowed out.

Xiao Tianjian also did not hesitate to let this copper pipe pass in the hands of his generals, and everyone shouted after watching it, calling this thing a good thing.

In the end, Xiao Tianjian wanted to return the copper pipe and said to the generals: "This thing can be called clairvoyance for the time being, but this is only the first test item, it is not too far to see, and it will be much better than this in the future, you can see far away, at present, the craftsmen over there in Lotus Village are rushing to make this kind of thing, and there will be more in the future, and you will be issued with one, and the scouts can take care of it here, and equip it a little more!" ”

The generals were overjoyed when they heard this, and they wished that everyone would be given one of these clairvoyances as soon as possible, and if they fought with others in the future, they would take advantage of the advantage, especially Shi Ran, who heard Xiao Tianjian say that he would equip the scouts with more, and he was even more happy to thank Xiao Tianjian again and again, and envied the others again.

The telescope in Xiao Tianjian's hand is the first finished product finally made by the craftsmen of Lotus Village after months of hard work, after scrapping countless lenses, and it is also an unadjustable monocular, the multiple is not high, it can only have a multiple of four or five times, if it is placed in the future generations, this thing can only be regarded as a toy, but in this era, even if it is placed in the world, this thing is also a high-tech product, and it is definitely a good thing that cannot be obtained.

If you calculate the price, it is worth the old nose money, in order to make this telescope, Xiao Tianjian tried his best to get some crystal stones, and found a few jade craftsmen, responsible for polishing the lenses according to his requirements, these few months, I don't know how many lenses have been scrapped, this is the successful grinding of a set of usable lenses, and let the jeweler build a copper tube for him to install the lenses, which made this rudimentary and simple telescope, and the silver spent before and after is probably not less than a thousand taels, It's hard to say, it's enough to hear how many families have eaten for many years.

However, after the first finished product, it is easy to say in the future, as long as the qualified crystal is enough, these jade craftsmen can continue to grind out the lenses and assemble new telescopes, so that the cost will be pulled down a lot, at least it is not too much of a problem to distribute to the military outpost general, if you want to manufacture in large quantities, in terms of the current cost, the cost is really a bit too high, even they can't bear it, I'm afraid that they will have to find a way to go back on the glass, but this is all for later.

After everyone was excited for a while, they turned their attention back to this official army, Xiao Tianjian carefully observed the situation of the official army camp, and was even more sure that this group of officers and soldiers had made up their minds not to attack Xihe Village.

"It seems that the commander of the official army on this road is not a stupid person, and he knows that they may not be our opponents, so he wants to give us a closed door! Drag us here, and wait for the other two officers and soldiers to do it, and then do it with us! That's a vicious plan! In this way, we are held back here, and we cannot advance or retreat! No matter which of the other two roads breaks through to the realm of Yangcheng, we will lose this battle! Xiao Tianjian put away the binoculars again and said to the generals.

"What the general said is extremely true, this officer and army are indeed very cunning! I'm afraid we can't afford it! Since they don't dare to come again, let's just go out and bring down their big camp!" Provincial they blocked the door to disgust us! Luo Li then proposed to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian nodded: "This time Luo Li is to the point!" We really can't afford to delay, because today Feng Gouzi has already sent me a letter, saying that the officers and troops in the direction of Zezhou have also moved, and they have begun to set off for us, and those in Jiangxian have also begun to set off into the mountains! This time, the official army wants the three armies to advance at the same time, forcing us to return from Yuanqu to aid Yangcheng, and also forcing us to be unable to take care of each other, driving us out of Yangcheng, at least forcing us into the mountains, and going to be rogues!

However, they miscalculated the passing year, I didn't expect that I would rush back so quickly, and this group of officers and soldiers in Qinshui County was also a bird, originally even if they didn't come to attack Hexi Village this time, I would also lead my troops to attack Qinshui County, but they were anxious to eat hot tofu, so it would be more to my liking!

Now without further ado, we must first knock out this road of officers and troops and then talk about the road to meet the Zezhou side, if we are dragged here, then we are likely to fall into the situation of being attacked on the back of the enemy, and the generals will obey the order! ”

Hearing that Xiao Tianjian was about to give an order, the generals immediately stepped forward and shouted together: "The last general, please give the general's orders!" ”

"Open the gate of the village, and the troops will immediately line up outside the village, and we will go and take these officers and soldiers out of their nests!" Xiao Tianjian commanded the crowd with arrogance.

"The last general obeys!" The generals immediately shouted in unison, and then they all turned around and ran down the village wall, and began to mobilize their subordinates.

Inside and outside the Zhuangzi in Hexi Village, there was a loud roar of officers and a sharp assembly whistle, and the soldiers and generals of the various departments, who were originally in a state of rest, jumped up one after another after hearing the sound, and after quickly putting on their clothes, they grabbed their weapons and began to rush out of the Zhuangzi with their officers.

And Xiao Tianjian also got off the village wall, turned over and jumped on a war horse at the village gate, and rushed out of Hexi Village with a group of personal guards.

Xiao Tianjian gathered two sentinels this time, and some scouts and artillery troops, so that the number of soldiers reached about 1,000, and at the same time transferred 600 recruits under Liu Bao's command who had not yet completed their training and more than 700 township soldiers recruited from various villages and townships, making the total strength of more than 2,300 people.

When the official army came, although there were more than 3,000 people, but after two days of consumption in Hexi Village, the current strength was only more than 2,800 people, and the old and weak soldiers in the army were eliminated, and their real strength was not necessarily more than that of the Xingtian Army. Then it is not comparable to these cobbled together officers and soldiers.

In terms of morale, it is needless to say, the Xingtian Army is defending its homeland, from top to bottom, it can be said that it is full of strength, and it is necessary to give the officers and soldiers a good look, but the officers and soldiers are all officers and soldiers who were forced to come here, coupled with the failure of several attacks on Xihe Village in the past two days, the morale has already been very low, so this battle can be said that the Xingtian Army has enough advantages in all aspects, Xiao Tianjian has no doubt at all that he can defeat this official army, All he was thinking about now was how to end this battle as quickly as possible and kill as many officers and troops as possible here!
