Chapter 276: Windfall
"When Miss Mi's liquor shop buys wine from you, you have to remember to order my good and charge less for wine!"
Cao Hong laughed: "Of course! ”
Lu Ren also smiled, but immediately leaned into Cao Hong's ear, pretending to whisper mysteriously: "And there is actually one thing missing from the secret recipe I gave you, that is, those sealed and fermented oak barrels must not be thrown away at will!" Brewing new sake from old barrels will make the sake more mellow and fragrant. At that time, I didn't write it because I was afraid that people with ulterior motives would ...... In short, you and I know it! Now that you have these old barrels and others don't, even if others want to steal business with you, it will be in vain if they don't have this secret recipe. ”
Cao Hong nodded understandingly.
Lu Ren laughed a few times, and then continued to busy with the work in hand, and said secretly in his heart while busy: "Will I do this to make Europe's wine, which was originally ahead of the world, fall behind China in the future?" Forget it, leave him alone! Wine was originally very popular in the Tang Dynasty, and don't the poems say 'grape wine luminous glass'? And the failure of wine in China to flourish must also have a lot of environmental factors...... Alas, it's a pity that I won't stay too long in the late Han Dynasty, otherwise I would really want to brew a few barrels of Louis XIII or something to come out and have fun. Ha ha! ”
said that Cao Hong was staring at the work in Lu Ren's hand almost intently, for fear of missing something.
So what is Lu Ren doing? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a monocular three-segment telescope. However, it took a lot of trouble to mention this telescope, mainly in terms of lenses. Because it is not difficult to burn glass, but when Lu Ren learned that he would go out with the army, he could not find iron oxide chemicals and other materials that can make glass colorless and transparent when firing glass, and if the lenses do not meet a certain standard, they are just children's toys.
In desperation, Lu Ren had no choice but to replace it with something else. And before I asked Mi Zhen to engage in crystals, this is for this matter. But on the other hand, Lu Ren didn't want to spread the craftsmanship of the telescope too early, after all, this thing is military technology, and where can military technology be leaked out casually? Maybe it's an exaggeration, but no matter what, this thing is one of the props that Lu Ren uses to save his life, and it is necessary to keep it secret.
Because of this, Mi Zhen only helped Lu Ren get the crystal lenses, and the rest of the components were prepared by Lu Ren himself in Meng Village. It's just that in this way, the size of the crystal lens and the components prepared by Lu Ren will inevitably not match. Fortunately, Lu Ren had already prepared for this, like the mirror tube bamboo tube, Lu Ren prepared several, and some of the corresponding tools were also brought with him. And Lu Ren has been stuffy in the car for the past few days and can't come out, in fact, he is tinkering with those bamboo pipes, in order to cooperate well with the crystal lenses.
After tinkering with it again, the lens grooves in the bamboo tube were basically in place, so Lu Ren carefully placed the crystal lenses in the grooves, and then assembled the telescope into shape in a sparse process. Although it was still a little unsatisfactory, it was finally assembled, and Lu Ren nodded with satisfaction. Looking at the telescope in his hand again, Lu Ren drew the maximum number of knots and tried to look into the distance.
Seeing this, Cao Hong on the side asked curiously, "Mr. Lu, what kind of treasure is this?" ”
"Oh! You know that I don't actually know how to fight, so of course I don't know the bottom of my heart when I go on this expedition, and it should be An An's own heart to do this thing by my side...... Well? How is it poured? ”
Lu Ren was stunned and put down the telescope in his hand, and when he turned his head, he found that Cao Hong was curiously playing with a flat lens in his hand, but he didn't know when he took it from Lu Ren's cloth bag. In a daze, he asked Cao Hong for the lenses, disassembled the telescope and reassembled it again, so that there was no longer a situation where the image in the mirror was reversed.
"Well, fifteen times the effect is really good!" Lu Ren muttered to himself, and looked forward from a distance with great interest. But after playing for a while, Lu Ren accidentally discovered something: "Huh? What is that? ”
Cao Hong was about to ask a question as he became more and more curious, but Lu Ren had already handed the telescope to Cao Hong. Cao Hong was naturally surprised at first sight when he tried it, and almost threw this telescope away as a demonic thing, but finally Lu Renyan stopped it in a hurry and explained to Cao Hong, and Cao Hong calmed down. It's just that when Cao Hong tried to look at it again, and looked in the direction pointed by Lu Ren, Cao Hong's face changed......
――――――――――――――――――――
After the third watch in the night, there was silence between heaven and earth, only the torches around the camp of the grain transport team were crackling gently, and occasionally a few night patrol soldiers would shout and question each other.
At this time, the moon only has a curved moon bud, and the earth is naturally a little dark and gloomy because there is no bright moon, if it is not for a faint starlight in the sky, I am afraid that it will be really dark to the point where you can't see your fingers.
Under the cover of night, more than 300 people were taking advantage of the night to quickly approach the camp of the grain delivery team. These people are biting a small wooden stick in their mouths, which is the so-called "human title", and they try their best not to make any noise in the rush, and it is not difficult to see from the movements and demeanor of these people that this is a well-trained elite division that has fought vicious battles and tough battles.
The first general is about thirty years old, his face is cold and majestic, and he vaguely brings out a bit of arrogance. Like his soldiers, he also had a small wooden stick in his mouth, and the war horse he led behind him not only had a bell, but also wrapped a layer of soundproof cloth on the horse's hooves. Seeing that there were about 200 steps away from the camp of the grain transport team, the general suddenly beckoned, and the more than 300 people immediately stopped. Looking at this again, while pranayama for a while, he is carefully observing the camp of the grain transport team. After looking at it for a while, the general was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately turned over on his horse, and the long knife in his hand swung down to the camp of the grain transportation team!
"Kill it!"
The back of the knife slapped the horse's buttocks violently, and the general rushed towards the simple gate of the grain transport team, followed by more than 20 horsemen, and the rest of the foot soldiers shouted from their mouths and launched a night attack on the camp of the grain transport team.
As soon as the shouts of more than 300 people were heard, the soldiers who were patrolling the night in the grain transport team immediately exclaimed: "Loot the village! Thieves rob the village! ”
Two hundred steps is just a distance for a galloping war horse to start a sprint, and in the blink of an eye, the general has already rushed into the village. It's just that he had just raised the knife in his hand, ready to catch up with the few fleeing night patrol soldiers to kill, when he suddenly stepped off the war horse and the horse's hooves were empty, and before others could react, they even hung in the air with the people and horses.
"Trapped!?"
Finally, the general reacted very quickly, and hurriedly pressed his left arm on the horse's back, borrowing some force to make his body jump slightly. With this little leap to the height, his feet stomped heavily on the horse's back, and his whole body was completely leaping to his feet, as if he wanted to jump out of the pit he had fallen into.
It's a pity that it backfired, or it could be said that he was really unlucky. When he launched a surprise attack, he was followed by more than 20 horses, two of which were too close, and the general had just jumped up, and the soldiers who fell into the pit of horses behind him could not regain their momentum, and one of them actually hit him with men and horses......
There was a series of bangs and muffled sounds, and six of the more than 20 horsemen who rushed to the front had fallen to the bottom of the pit, and this unlucky general was the worst, he was first hit by the soldiers behind him on the edge of the pit, and the angle between the pit wall and the ground came to a "friendly contact" and then fell to the bottom of the pit. Maybe he had a chance to climb out when he hit the edge of the pit, but the moment he hit the edge of the pit was too heavy, and the person didn't react to seize this moment of opportunity under the severe pain. It's also fortunate that there are no sharp things at the bottom of the pit, otherwise he wouldn't be dead or crippled at this time.
At the same time that the general fell to the bottom of the pit, the battalion of the entire grain transport team suddenly shouted and killed, and in the camp tent, in the haystack, under the grain cart, and in the ditch, the soldiers and soldiers of Cao, who had been in ambush all night, came out one after another, and on the contrary, they took the more than 300 people who launched a surprise attack by surprise.
Although these more than 300 people were well-trained elite soldiers who had fought vicious and tough battles, one lost the command of the generals, the second was counterattacked by the opponent, and the third was ...... These people didn't seem to have enough to eat, and they didn't seem to have much strength. In short, it didn't take long for most of these 300 people to be wiped out by Cao Bing, and only 20 or 30 people who fell behind at the back of the group because they were running relatively slowly saw that the situation in front of them was not good, so they immediately turned around and fled without a trace.
Only a few scattered battles continued in the camp. But I have to admit that the combat effectiveness of these more than 300 people is really amazing, and in the remaining few battle circles, Cao Bing, who surrounded the opponent, could not subdue a few people in the circle in a short time. However, there is a squad of about 30 people in the camp to clean up these remaining battle circles, and every time they rush to a battle circle, they will shoot and shoot the opponents in the battle circle and clap their hands and leave.
When the team of thirty people finished solving the scattered battle circle and came to the trap at the Zhaimen, the trap was already surrounded by a circle of Cao soldiers, spears, or bows and crossbows, and the sharp edges were aimed at the enemy trapped in the pit. Under the light of the torches, Lu Ren and Cao Hong were examining the prey in the pits.
"Head of the house!"
Lu Ren turned around and glanced at the Lu family's disciples who had returned to him, and asked, "It's all settled?" ”
"All of them have been destroyed!"
Lu Ren nodded, while Cao Hong glanced at the crossbow in the hands of the Lu family's disciples, and said with a little envy: "Mr. Lu, the crossbows in the hands of your Lu disciples are really delicate and powerful, when will you sell some to me?" ”
Lu Renxin said that you even want to make up your mind about the crossbow I sent to the Lu family's disciples?
(The day before yesterday, my eyes hurt for a long time, but then I couldn't help but go to the clinic to see it, and it turned out to be a slight ophthalmitis...... After a day's eyes closed, a day's sleep is better. Yesterday's two watches are made up today, that is, 273-276 four watches. Excuse me! In the end, it is still shameless to ask for votes, collections, and recommendations! )
