As soon as the sky was bright, there was a piercing sound of sharpening knives in the old camp in the woods. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The frequency of metal and stone scraping just hit Sun Yi's point.

Sun has always felt itchy in his ears and eyes, itching in the roots of his teeth, and he can't scratch them.

Carrying knives and thatch, veterans wearing various Ming army uniforms walked out of the courtyard one after another.

The people of Shulinzi Township are mostly military households. When Sun Yi promised to divide the land, no one in the military households could stop him, and nine out of ten were demobilized.

Now these veterans don't need to be greeted, one by one they go to the big catalpa tree to put a stick of incense, turn around and enter the barracks, and even take ordinary people to start sharpening their knives and enlist in the army.

The barracks, which had just been silent for a few hours, was full of people.

Many of the veterans who re-enlisted came from Yansui Town, and Yang Liulang was busy greeting acquaintances:

"Third brother and second son, are you all here?"

"Uncle, you're so old, why are you here?"

An elderly veteran was stunned and shook his long mao, "The love of the new country on the donkey day doesn't let me live a good life, I'm going to fight with them!" ”

Jiang Laojun raised a white flag high with a long wooden stick, and a big gourd was painted on the flag, and Jiang Laojun knocked the flagpole with a wooden stick:

"Health team, health team, gather here."

Sun Yi didn't understand the word war machine before, but now he understood that the machine of the Ironwood Battalion had rumbled into action.

Wang Erniu stood beside Sun Yi, "Master, this can't be done." I'm afraid this battle will have to be fought for a long time, and the old men in their fifties and sixties are all in battle, what if there is no one to farm in the rear? ”

Sun nodded, "Those under the age of eighteen and those over the age of thirty should be persuaded to go back." ”

He didn't know how many days this battle would last, he only knew that if it was a quick battle, the Ironwood Battalion would die without even a slag.

Within an hour, one hundred and fifty young men from the three townships of Shulinzi, Qingshanzui, and Wuyuan gathered in the Tiemu Battalion barracks, and sixty percent of them were veterans from all over the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Liulang organized every five people into a team, three into a small flag, and three small flags into a general flag of 50 people.

According to the qualifications of the veterans, Yang Liulang appointed the captain, the small flag officer and the chief flag officer, and appointed himself as the captain, and began training without saying a word.

Looking at Yang Liulang's solemn face, Sun Yi's heart tightened.

There are five townships in the Tiemu Battalion, and the total number of men, women, and children alone exceeds 1,000.

I dare not hope to win this battle.

Hard top, can it withstand it?

The only two advantages of the Ironwood Battalion in terms of combat effectiveness are the composite armor suitable for summer wear, and the electric three-eyed gun suitable for close combat.

When asked about the production of composite armor, Erniu confidently said that the current production can definitely keep up with the demand.

But the amount of gunpowder consumed by the three-eyed gun in a big battle, Sun had a headache when he thought about it.

The day before yesterday, Sun Yi went to the pharmaceutical factory. Nominally, the pharmaceutical factory is a large workshop responsible for the production of gunpowder, medicine, and "medicinal fertilizer" for crops, but in fact it is a large iron pot.

The high-quality old nitrate soil in the old camp of Shulinzi has been used up, and at present, we can only hope that the nitrate artificially planted in the thatched pit of the public toilet can be harvested once in ten days and a half, and the daily nitrate boiling has been stopped.

Liusu can produce a lot at one time, and the current reserves of the Tiemu Camp are sufficient, and the daily boiling of Liusu has also stopped.

The only daily work carried out by the pharmaceutical factory is to boil potassium salt to make fertilizer, and two pots for three orphans are enough.

Sodium chloride salt, a by-product of boiling potassium salt, was piled up like a mountain on the edge of the pharmaceutical factory, for fear that the rain would melt and destroy the land, and the "mountain" was still covered with thick thatch.

Nowadays, the people of Tiemuying do not lack salt the most, and in order to deal with these by-products that occupy the place, Ha Laocai begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to send it to the outside, but no one wanted it.

Sun Yi carefully inquired about the yield of artificially planted nitrate, and objectively speaking, the current ambient temperature is suitable, and the efficiency of nitrate planting is not bad. It's just that the total number of people in the Ironwood Battalion is limited, so the manure used as a raw material is limited, so the total output of nitrate cannot go up.

And listening to Ha Laocai, who is in charge of the pharmaceutical factory, there is not much sulfur in the camp.

Sun Yi sighed secretly, turned around and instructed the stuffy man, "Go and invite all the bosses to me, and say that we will have breakfast together." ”

If last night's decision in the General Staff was an emergency, this morning it is necessary to take a good long-term view.

When Sun Yi was not in the old camp in the woods, his residence had been remodeled, and now it is also the "mansion gate" in the ironwood camp.

In Sun Yi's "courtyard" stood three large shacks and two small shacks.

The big shack is the bedroom of the first grandson, the eldest grandmother and the second grandmother, and the small shack is the thatched toilet and the bathroom respectively.

In the courtyard is an open-air stove, and under the shade of the tree is a table of eight immortals.

The table of the Eight Immortals is three feet square, with four stools, painted with bright red paint, and a light black inkstone is placed in the center of the table.

This is the dining room and study of the Supreme Leader of the Ironwood Battalion, Lord Lidel.

The table and inkstone were made by Yang Carpenter, the adoptive father of the milk baby, and it was said that it was the dowry of the milk baby.

The dowry was also sent with a bellows made by Yang carpenter for cooking, and a double bed placed in Sun Yi's "bedroom".

Among the four dowries, Sun Yi was most interested in the crackling bellows, which, in Sun Yi's words, was called a piston reciprocating two-stroke air compressor. After cooking a few times, Sun Yi rushed to pull the bellows, so anxious that the baby was in tears, and muttered "Men can't get off the stove".

Now Sun Yi and several bosses are sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, drinking tea while tasting four dishes and one soup prepared by the milk baby: cold salad artemisia seeds, cold salad large green leaves, cold salad reed root, boiled wild duck eggs, and a bowl of chili vinegar sauce.

Sun Yi recalled that when he had dinner with these bosses for the first time, everyone was squatting on the ground around a plate of chili peppers, and the bowl in his hand was still open. Now it's all four dishes and one soup in the morning, and the table is full of pottery fired by Tiemuying itself, and I'm happy when I look at it.

Yang Ritian knew that Sun Yi didn't pay attention to the humility of the upper and lower levels, so he peeled a duck egg first, dipped it in the chili vinegar sauce, and took a small bite, "This vinegar is so good!" ”

Sun Yi was also busy all night, and his stomach was hungry early, and when he saw Yang Ritian's way of eating, he also peeled a wild duck egg, and said:

"Please come here to discuss how to fight this battle."

After that, dip the duck egg in chili vinegar and stuff it whole into your mouth.

Wang Erniu stopped his chopsticks, "I still say the same thing, we have the blessing of Shennong, and we will definitely win in the end, but the time may drag on longer." ”

Ha Laocai shook his head a little worriedly, "We have few people and few soldiers, how can I calculate, the chances of winning are not big." ”

Yang Ritian took a sip of tea, "How many soldiers we have, Director Ha is clear, but Aixin Jinguo is not clear." ”

Yang Ritian stretched out a slap, "To tell you the truth, we have five townships, and each township has 10,000 people, so there are 50,000 horses in total." ”

Sun Yi almost choked.

"Woo, uh-huh, fifty thousand?"

Yang Ritian adjusted his palm and nodded, "That's right!" Fifty thousand! And in this battle, we don't want to annihilate all the soldiers and horses of the Xinjin Kingdom, just stop them east of the Yellow River, Ha Laocai, if you think about it again, isn't the chance of winning greater? ”

Ha Laocai smiled bitterly and nodded, "It's a little bit bigger." ”

Yang Ritian said again: "The Yellow River is dangerous, it is impossible for the new Jin Kingdom to come with a boat on its back, we can guard the river." They have come from afar, and the grain and grass may not be able to be satiated, and we can't afford to spend it. If you do the math, are the odds of winning greater? ”

Tie Lao Han said with a smile: "Aixin Jin Country still has to guard against Chahar, and it also has to guard against the Liaodong Ming Army, so it won't focus on Wolf Mountain and River wholeheartedly." ”

Sun Yiqiang swallowed the duck egg and took a big sip of tea, "That is to say, we try not to fight a decisive battle in this battle, and only play Laipi with Aixinguo, it is possible to drag Aixinjinguo down?" ”

Yang Ritian nodded, his face serious, "This is actually our only chance to win." ”

Sun Yi tapped his right index finger on the table, "Defend by the river...... Bravado...... Playing Tricks...... Drag...... There are also rumors to make Aixin Jinguo think that the rear is unstable! ”

Both the logic of the programmers and the decision of the pilots clearly told Sun Yi that the Ironwood Battalion must go all out to fight for this line of survival.

Sun made up his mind, "In this battle, the military accounts for 30%, and the plan accounts for 70%, please Jia Daoshi, he is responsible for studying psychological warfare and pretending to be a ghost, let's carefully sum it up and come up with a few strategies." ”
