Murong Yanran smiled: "Childe, these characters in the rivers and lakes are different from those people in Datong City, they are not a group of people. ”

"And where did they come from?" Besides, I was surprised.

"These people are people who mixed up in the mainland in the early years, and later they couldn't stay in the mainland anymore, so they went to the outside of Cyprus to make a living, and many of them may be from the White Lotus Sect, and they are very mixed, so we must be cautious." Murong Yanran said that in the end, her face was a little gloomy, and she was also stunned by the giant of the White Lotus Sect.

"People from the White Lotus Sect? It seems that Sect Master Zhao wants to give us a big gift, and the opening scene of this scene is not small. Besides, he mocked.

"This may not be Zhao Quan's idea, these people are likely to have something to do with a swarm of people, I heard that the rogues fell into our hands, so they want to rob people." Murong Yanran said.

"Robbing people? Then let them try it, I don't have anything else here, the lead pill* is enough. Besides, he said arrogantly.

He came out of Datong, but almost all the * and lead pills in the warehouse of the border army in Datong City were emptied, which he was afraid of not enough, so he urgently wrote to the emperor and Zhang Juzheng, asking them to transport more * lead pellets to Datong, and then transport them to Saiwai through the secret channels of the Salt Gang.

"Childe doesn't have to be annoyed, they know that I'm here, so they may not dare to go down, and in the end, it is estimated that they will still have to take the road of auction." Murong Yanran said.

"They know each other best. Who is that Peng Tao? Besides, he asked.

"Peng Tao is the previous generation disciple of the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife in the mainland, and suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago, I thought he was assassinated, but I didn't expect him to hide outside." Murong Yanran sighed.

"Did the senior know him well?" Besides, he asked.

"I'm not very familiar, but I've met him a few times in the rivers and lakes, and he has always been respectful to me, so I didn't embarrass him this time, let him go first, and see what he wants to do." Murong Yanran said.

"Five Tiger Broken Door Knife? This name is very familiar. Besides, he frowned and thought about it.

"This sect is still a little famous in the rivers and lakes, but there have not been many activities in recent years." Murong Yanran explained.

"By the way, isn't there a White Lotus Sect Holy Envoy who wants to assassinate me the person who is the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife?" He remembered.

Murong Yanran said with a smile: "Gongzi has a really good memory, that holy envoy is indeed a master disciple of the Five Tigers Broken Door Sword, and this Peng Tao is still a senior brother, but this Peng Tao doesn't seem to have anything to do with the White Lotus Sect, of course, I don't know much about the situation outside the Saiwai, and it's hard to say whether Peng Tao has joined the White Lotus Sect." ”

Besides, he said: "This time the seniors let him go, it will be regarded as the love of the old man, if he dares to come nonsense next time, the seniors must not be soft-hearted." ”

Besides, he was very angry, this Peng Tao actually wanted to kidnap Zuo Ling as a hostage, no matter who he was, he was already a dead man in his heart. Zuo Ling, but his forbidden belly, whoever wants to touch Zuo Ling, will offend his reverse scales.

"Childe, don't worry, I don't think he dares to come nonsense, I have given him a stern warning." Murong Yanran said.

Besides, he nodded and said nothing more.

He knows very little about the things in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't want to inquire, so he doesn't understand all kinds of rules and feelings, Murong Yanran wants to deal with it like this, so naturally she has a reason.

However, he knew that Murong Yanran was by no means a soft-hearted character, and he knew this by looking at Jiu Niang, the master and the apprentice were actually the same face, but they were expressed in different ways.

Then I went with Zuo Ling to check the herbs bought from Peng Tao, and sure enough, they were all high-grade medicines, and I don't know how many pharmacies this guy robbed to grab so many medicinal materials, but in the end he had to sell them to Zuo Ling at a low price, which can be described as a big loss, but these medicinal materials were all robbed by him, no matter how much they were sold, they were considered to be net.

"Don't go out of the camp these days, people from all walks of life will gather here, and there will be more and more rights and wrongs, so it's better to put safety first." Besides, to the left antelope.

Zuo Ling smiled: "I know, but this time I really didn't go in vain, I received so many medicinal materials, if there are a few more orders of such business, this trip outside the Sai will be considered a complete merit." ”

Moreover, the Tao; "The medicinal materials are mainly purchased in Bansheng City, where it may be more expensive, but the variety is complete, and the quantity is also large, and it is not much of a small fight along the way, and the most important thing is safety."

"Okay, I know, you don't have to be mother-in-law." Zuo Ling said with a smile.

After inspecting the medicinal herbs, he went to see the guards digging the trench, and then asked these people to widen the trench by another twenty zhang and deepen it by three zhang.

Originally, he was just guarding against the onslaught of cavalry, but now he was guarding against those who could fly off the wall.

"My lord, what if you just dig a trench and have no water?"

Sun Hu sat on a chair to supervise the work of his subordinates, and when he saw that he was coming, he hurriedly stood up, and then followed behind him like a puppy.

"Water, it's a little difficult, what should I put in here?" Besides, it's also a matter of worry.

There is a small river that meanders nearby, but the current is so small that even if the water is brought here, it will be difficult to fill the trench, and the effect of the trench without water will naturally be reduced by more than half.

If this kind of thing is nothing in the interior, but in the grassland, such a waste of water will cause public anger.

If you stay here for a long time, even if you offend some people, it will be worth it, but besides, you will only stay here for a few days, so the expense is a bit more than worth the loss.

"Put all the thistles we brought here, and if anyone falls into it, even if they climb up, they will become hedgehogs. In addition, we have a lot of tung oil, right? ”

"Tung oil hasn't been used much, so there should be a lot of it." Sun Hu said.

He also didn't know the consumption of munitions, and he had to ask the person in charge of it. He sent a man to find a general banner in charge of munitions consumption and stockpiles.

"The trick of putting thistle terrestris is really amazing, I'm afraid that our iron thistle terrestris is not enough."

At that time, the thistle terrestris was a round ball covered with sharp iron thorns on all sides, and if anyone stepped on it or pressed under it when they fell, there would be several holes in their body.

Tribulus terrestris can not only defend against war horses, but also against infantry, and the latter has a better effect, after all, this thing is still the most lethal to the human body, and it is relatively less threatening for war horses with horseshoe paws, but if the war horse is knocked down, and then falls on the ground full of thistle, the situation can be made up.

In the era when there was no *, if this thing was spread in one area, it was basically equivalent to a minefield.

Moreover, in the plan, it is to use tripping horses, rejecting horses, and thistles to lay down three lines of defense, specifically to prevent the enemy from sneaking attacks or cavalry charges, and there is only one safe way for their own men and horses, and the rest of the places are all forbidden areas.

After a while, the general banner in charge of the quartermaster came running over, and asked him how much thistle terrestris and tung oil he had.

The general flag replied one by one, not daring to say one more word or one less, looking at it and always a little trembling.

Besides, I frowned and thought about it for a while, there is a lot of tung oil, and I don't want to sell so much tung oil, but to use it for lighting, after all, oil lamps and torches need tung oil, and there are many places that need tung oil.

There is not much thistle, but it is enough to cover a layer of trenches, this thing is not a consumable, and you can continue to use it when you go.

However, if the tung oil is poured into the trench, it will be difficult to put it away, and even if it is put away, it will lose a lot.

"In this way, sprinkle a layer of thistle terrestris in the trench, and do not pour tung oil into the trench, but put it on the edge of the ditch, and let a special person take care of it, and if the enemy falls into it, pour it on him with tung oil, and then set him on fire with torches." Besides.

"My lord, you want to roast a suckling pig. Do you use it? No matter who falls into it, they will almost fall half to death, at least their legs are broken, and they can't climb out at all. Sun Hu was puzzled.

Besides, he shook his head and said: "This is not to protect against the Tatars, but to protect against those people in the rivers and lakes." They're all masters, and the trenches may not make them break their legs and lame, so they have to beat the water dogs, understand?! ”

"Then prepare some archers, and shoot arrows when they fall, no matter what skills they have, make sure that they all become hedgehogs." Sun Hu said happily.

"Archers, of course, too, and tung oil torches must be prepared. A two-pronged approach. And he commanded.

"Yes, sir!"

Besides, since it was decided, Sun Hu also handled it according to the rules, although he still felt that there was some fuss, including digging such a deep and wide trench, is it a bit too much?

Besides, he couldn't forget the fact that he was surrounded by more than 60 masters of the rivers and lakes in Datong City, it was a pain in his heart, it was too embarrassing to think about, there were 3,000 elite soldiers to protect him, and in the end he was surrounded by more than 60 people.

Of course, he also knows that the masters of the rivers and lakes are completely different concepts from ordinary elite soldiers, masters like Murong Yanran and Jiu Niang, one person can defeat hundreds of elite soldiers, and more than 100 people flying on the grass completely lost the power to fight back under the attack of Jiu Niang alone, and finally could only sit obediently and surrender, or play hard to save their lives.

"Behind the thistle terrestris, lay three hundred bird guns, one hundred hand guns, and behind them are five hundred strong bows and crossbows. In the future, whenever there is to camp for a long time, it will be arranged in this way. If it's just camping for a day or two, you don't need it. And he continued.

"Okay. Order! Sun Hu happily agreed.

Besides, when I think of thistle, I suddenly think of *.

It should also be possible to use **, although it can't be as powerful as the * of later generations, but the effect is definitely countless times stronger than thistle.

He thought of the rainstorm pear flower needle again, if the rainstorm pear flower needle is transformed, the needle will be turned into a prefabricated fragment, that is, an iron piece with spikes, and then use the machine bracket to bounce open, * the amount does not need to be very large, just bounce the machine bracket open.

He thought about it, and although there were still some problems that needed to be solved, it seemed theoretically feasible.

In addition, this method can also be *, the principle of the rainstorm pear flower needle is actually similar to *, but it is to shoot a silver needle with a machine, if it is *, you need to use * to fire, and then explode in the air.

Maybe it really can, his mind kept spinning, thinking of all kinds of design schemes, and for a while he actually entered the realm of fugue forgetfulness.

"What are you thinking, sir?" Sun Hu was startled when he saw that he was stunned and didn't speak, thinking that he was demonic.

"I'm thinking of a new kind of device, the kind that is so lethal." Besides, he laughed.
