Lutang Ji, inside the tattered appearance, there is actually a cave, where many people live and hide, but now they have all been collected and pressed out, and rushed outside to be centrally managed......

Walking through the simply cleared streets, I was led all the way to the back of the market, and saw a somewhat haphazard pile of buildings hidden under the trees between the small hills.

I covered my nose and looked at the filthy shack filled with the smell of sweat and other peculiar smells, which turned out to be a handmade gunpowder workshop.

A variety of simple wooden instruments, tools, and containers are more like some underground black coal kiln than a gunpowder workshop.

The people inside were also unkempt and dirty, and when they were carefully distinguished, there were old people, women and children.

It's a miracle that it has been able to produce and sustain until now, and it hasn't been blown up to the sky, maybe not, but I soon saw some of them, obviously belonging to the burned ruins.

In other words, these guys are taking their lives to fill this business, which is also a norm in this troubled world, compared to the death probability that is close at hand, there is always no shortage of people who can't survive, and they are constantly replenished.

As for the source of raw materials, in addition to the fact that sulfur is trafficked from other places, as for nitrate, well, it is obtained by the method of piling up nitrate using human and animal waste as raw materials.

This production process is a bit miserable, and because of the lack of attention to protective means, the people responsible for operation and handling, without exception, their hands and feet are corroded by amines, like chicken feet.

However, don't look at the tattered here like an underground black coal kiln, but it is actually a local supplier directly linked to the military war bureau under the Northern Dynasty Ordnance Supervision.

According to the confessions of those captives, as long as the firearm goes off and kills and injures a few leaders, it can scare other people into scattering, even if it is the local government, it is necessary to give three points, but when we encounter this kind of firearms confrontation, and more professional, we will inevitably fight the streets.

At least tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder are provided here every year, to Qingxu Town and Luodu, yes, it is tens of thousands of catties, which seems to be quite a lot, almost worth the one-month production capacity of the new workshop arranged by my family on Prison Gate Island.

And it's the kind of crude black powder that doesn't filter much impurities, that is, assault guns or hand-shot nest arrows, which are not very picky low-end firearms, and they are still usable.

As a result,

I am a little disappointed and a little glad, disappointed that this production process and efficiency, so that my plan to obtain a sufficient source of gunpowder on the spot, can be regarded as bankrupt, fortunately, the tactics and standards of the use of firearms in the Northern Dynasties are far from our generation.

In this way, even if the other party learns from the pain because of our outstanding performance and begins to pay attention to the firer, this crooked technology tree is not so easy to give back.

I was in the warehouse in Runzhou before, and I accidentally got a batch of firearms, the quantity was not large, they were all relatively rudimentary poisonous smoke balls, fire thistles, and rockets. It is not so much a firearm as an arson tool.

Seeing the numb and sluggish expressions of these people, slowly weeping bitterly and even crying with the order to demolish and burn, I suddenly became a little disinterested.

Back in Lutangji, in the ruins after the fire, you can occasionally see the charred black curls, which look like the remnants of the remains.

Suddenly, "Grizzly Panda V" snorted and stopped, and my bodyguards rushed forward to surround me as if they heard the noisy sound of something rolling down, and then someone jumped off the horse and drew their knives and guns, cautiously approaching the ruins of a mansion that had collapsed more than half.

Then he was stunned for a moment, and with a certain look of laughter, he turned to me

"Return to the general, it's just a false alarm......"

I suddenly waved his hand to stop him from talking, because I heard it this time.

"Hmmm."

There was no living mouth in the ruins, only a skinny and pitiful palm-sized cat, trying to **** the condensation on the tiles, screaming in a hoarse tone and screaming with all his might.

I don't know how it survived, on the skinny and bony dirty fur, it was black and gray from the smoke, and it looked like it had been forgotten here for a while.

Seeing us stumble into the corner in some horror. It's a miracle to find another troubled world, such a small creature, but it was not eaten by those residents,

Well, I suddenly remembered the story of all kinds of cats and people in the cities besieged by famine and enemies in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, and remembered that he would only go to the toilet and open the door by himself, but he was like a white old cat in a winter night, and a little residual love slowly sprouted in my heart.

I thought about it for a while or pushed it left and right, walked over carefully on the rubble, took out a pack of fish floss, opened it and put it on the wall, and after a while, the small hairy ball squirmed,

Tempted by the smell of roasting, he carefully sniffed with his pink nose, picked it up a few times with his paws, but he still couldn't resist the temptation, opened his mouth to ask for a trace, and retreated far away to hide in the corners of the tiles, pulled it with his paws, and ate it.

Then with his pointed teeth, he tried to bite the paper bag, and wanted to drag it to the corner covered by the tiles, but he couldn't drag it weakly, but he fell a few times, and then he had to look left and right cautiously, and he lowered his head and took a big bite, as if he was feasting, and made a certain cheerful sound.

It seemed that I had been hungry for too long, and the food had escaped the input, and I grabbed this little thing in my hand, and only then did I open my teeth and claws to wake up, and struggled to leave a few scratches on my hand.

Then, it appeared in a small bamboo basket carried by the grizzly panda, used an old sheepskin sleeve as a mattress, curled up in a ball and fell asleep, even if it was the shaking and jolting of the horse's back, it was also snoring.

Well, I don't know why, I just got up to pick up such a pet temporarily, is the shade the way to survive?

At least in this difficult and chaotic world, both humans and animals are trying to find ways to survive, and that's enough.

"You call Schrödinger ......"

I looked at the little hairball that was suddenly bumped on the horse's back and rolled over to a sleeping position, and muttered to myself.

I would like to commemorate the cats who have made great contributions to a certain physical proposition, and it is also a beautiful wish and expectation for this fragile and tenacious little life.

Cats have nine lives, but in a Gothic work called the Knights of the King, a cat-eared boy named Schrödinger, but standing between the boundaries of life and death, even known as immortality, hiding in the house of Van Helsing's descendants, as a pet King Dracula, can also pull out the magical creatures that come from the latitude.

On the north bank of Huaishui, Gucheng Town in Xuzhou has just been pulled out and changed hands. Fluttering cyan "Xiongwu" flag. Liu Yanqing, the fourth general of the Model New Army and the commander of the Rear Striker Xiongwu Department, also ushered in his second victory after the initial battle.

Although his daily temperament gives people a sense of detachment and frivolity, it is another thing when it comes to the battle array, after all, it is the edification of the family origins, and he also has the qualifications to go out with the army.

What's more, there are those old soldiers from his father's generation to help him up and down, not to mention, even in front of the army, there is no shortage of people who are willing to sell to a cardinal deputy to save face to buy a good face, so after he goes out of the battle, whether it is military money and food or training and general affairs, there are almost few things that can make people annoyed.

Moreover, with these old subordinates, it is very difficult for him to make big mistakes, but there are advantages and disadvantages, which also causes him to be unable to play according to local conditions like the old acquaintance of another new army in the army, and he can do as much as he wants.

As a traditional general's origin, and as a privy deputy envoy, his father has access to slightly more sources of information than others.

Now

It is known that the model new army that was put on the frontal battlefield was only the left wing of the weapon to which the seventh general belonged, the right wing of the cavalry of the Southern Dynasty under the command of the sixth general, and the rear forward where Liu Yanqing was located, with only three teams of men.

In a certain way, they are just representative tests and precursors.

As for the other four new armies, which are better equipped and organized, they are pinched in the hands of the base camp in the rear, except for the short exit of the Jiangnan Raiders, it seems to be a reserve sequence that is invested at a critical moment and finalized.

From this, we can also see the differences in status and attitudes between each other. You must know that the first person to be thrown into the battlefield was the seventh general.

The so-called rigidity is easy to destroy, and the troops that are thrown into the battlefield too early can easily be destroyed by setbacks or too much damage, and in the later stages of the battle, because of the chaos of the elements, the slackness of the people's hearts, and the fatigue of morale, they become more and more unable to fight, and even become oblivious to the public, almost everywhere.

And there are some rumors in the army, saying that although the main battle faction is in power, it also has its own internal demands, such as the Southeast Road Recruitment Division, which has been the head of the Five-Way Recruitment Governor for many years, and the five-way system under his command, eleven commanders,

There are also dozens of other military positions such as defense envoys, soldiers and horses, and regimental training, and they have tens of thousands of armor all year round, so while they rely on it in the early stage, they also have to consume some of their strength, and then use the rotation of soldiers and personnel to achieve a certain balance.

And the seventh general's centaur was obviously taken into account because of his little origin in the Southeast Road Division, so the arrangement was a little bumpy and repetitive.

And this time, if it weren't for Liu Yanqing's many times taking the initiative to ask for battle, and moving out of the rear of his father to be a backer, it is estimated that his team is still in the sequence prepared by the later generation, staring at the standby.

This is not a good thing, the other generation practiced day and night, isn't it just for the day of use,

It's just that, compared to the feeling that he felt a little like staying behind the safety to pick up a bargain, and gave birth to a certain sense of shame and grievance, this time his father Liu Shaoneng rarely supported his decision, and beat the side drum as a privy deputy envoy.

However, the reason is: no matter how elite the army is, it must be tempered by the experience of the battlefield before it can be regarded as taking shape.

I don't know what is going on with that friend who can still see the right eye, and his unique messenger army.

Because of some kind of collateral influence, he also put extra effort into getting the latest version of the firecracker, and made up a firecracker team under his command, which is now led by the family general with exchange experience and his cronies Zhi Keshi.

Liu Yanqing quickly pressed this superfluous thought, after all, he was now the leader of the army alone and decided their life and death.

As one of the three fronts that broke into Xuzhou, he needed to consider the progress of the friendly army in order to achieve the effect of mutual support.
