On the tower of the west gate of Yinta City, Cheng Lei and Duke Duozan witnessed the whole battle, and the entire battle situation was encompassed in their eyes. Especially the high-powered telescope brought by Cheng Lei can see very far and clearly, and Duke Duozan couldn't put it down after using it, so he almost opened his mouth to ask Cheng Lei for it.

Cheng Lei knew his thoughts, so he said with a smile: "If Your Excellency the Duke is interested in it, I will send someone to send you one tomorrow, but don't forget what Your Excellency Duke promised me!" ”

What he said is actually about the construction of the base, and now there are only two small wells in the base, which were laid by the migrant workers before, and the water for the migrant workers and the team members come from here. There is no person who specializes in drilling wells in Yinta City, so Cheng Lei wants to ask Duke Duozan to help find someone who specializes in drilling wells from Vientiane City, and dig a few wells in the base, and also install a waterwheel, and it is still the kind of waterwheel powered by horses.

People with this kind of technology in Vientiane City are favored by the city lord, so only if Duke Dozan comes forward in person, the city lord of Vientiane City can buy this face. Duke Duozan agreed to Cheng Lei's request and promised to do his best to do this for him.

There are more than a dozen high-powered telescopes in the warehouse that Cheng Lei took, all of which Cheng Lei had accumulated before, and it was nothing to give one to Duke Duozan. As long as Duke Duozan can solve the matter of digging wells in the base for Cheng Lei, even if he sends half of the telescopes, Cheng Lei will not hesitate.

"Mr. Cheng, what do you think of Xilin's fight this time?" Duke Dozan asked.

Cheng Lei looked at the place where Xiling and the others were now, and said with a little meaning: "Your Excellency Duke, do you want to hear the truth or listen to the lie?" ”

Duke Duozan laughed and said, "Mr. Cheng is really interesting, of course I want to hear the truth!" ”

Cheng Lei said: "If you want to hear the truth, then it can be said that Xilin's victory this time is just a fluke and a numerical advantage!" ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Cheng Lei patiently explained to Duke Duozan: "Your Excellency, if I were the leader of those horse bandits, I would send those cavalry and follow a group of infantry. The cavalry charged with cold weapons in front, and the infantry cleaned up the mess with guns in the rear. At this time they came to the aid of the left flank, and I let the cavalry retreat, and then the infantry fired at them. ”

"Wait for another opportune moment, when the bullets are less dense, and the cavalry will charge out again. With such a tall thatch grass blocking the view, where can it compare to the power of the cavalry? The scattered recruits in Xilin will definitely be disrupted, and I will send the infantry behind to continue to clean up the mess. What do you think, Your Excellency the Duke? ”

Duke Dozan thought for a while and said, "But there is also the city guard of Xiling on the right, she can reinforce the left side." ”

"His Excellency the Duke thought too easily, the two heavy machine guns had already suppressed Xi Ling's right flank, coupled with the rifle salvo in the horse bandit position, and the sentry shot, Xi Ling had long been too busy to take care of herself. Taking a step back, even if Xiling did bring people to help the left side, do you think they would be able to cross the middle road to the left side under the fire of two heavy machine guns? I'm afraid I was already shot on the road. Cheng Lei patiently explained to Duke Duozan.

Duke Dozan frowned and said, "So, is this victory really a fluke?" ”

Cheng Lei nodded: "The biggest failure is that Xiling did not come out with heavy weapons, and there was no suppression of heavy weapons, and the enemy's firepower was doubled." If there were heavy weapons, those cavalry wouldn't be able to rush to the left at all and the game would be over, and the vanguard soldiers on Xiling's side wouldn't have to die! ”

He paused and asked Duke Dozan a little strangely: "Your Excellency, why don't you bring heavy weapons?" As far as I know, you don't have a shortage of heavy machine guns and sentries and the like, and there are quite a few medium guns. ”

Duke Dozan's face turned red and said, "Actually...... This is my idea, I mainly want to let those recruits experience the taste of the battlefield and experience it. If they had brought heavy weapons, they would not have even had a chance to fire. ”

Cheng Lei was a little big when he heard this, this is really a layman's command insider, Duke Duozan wanted to train recruits to enhance his strength in order to temporarily start, and almost buried the entire city guard and those recruits on the spot. Lesson, lesson!

Before Cheng Lei could say anything more, he heard Duke Dozan say: "Today is a lesson, I won't be so reckless, I have already remembered it this time, and it almost caused a big disaster." Mr. Cheng, you must always remind me of these things in the future, otherwise maybe one day if I miscommand, I am afraid that it will be too late to regret it. ”

Duke Duozan really regarded Cheng Lei as a friend who would say this, otherwise he would never say such a thing to others with his identity and arrogance as the city lord. Just because Cheng Lei is the only friend who can make friends with him on an equal footing, he can say these words.

Although the battle was very thrilling, the Duke of Dozan still gave high recognition and rewards to the personnel who participated in the battle. Especially the recruits who participated in the battle for the first time, it can be said that they saved the Left City Guard in this battle and turned the tide of the battle, and the Duke of Dozan especially praised them, not only cashed out all the rewards before the battle, but also rewarded each of them with some money, and these recruits were all smiling.

A total of about 400 recruits and captured prisoners formed a new team, which was placed under the management of Xiling. Coupled with the remaining 200 or so people in the city guard, the number of soldiers in Xi Ling's hands has reached more than 600 people, which is definitely a powerful armed force.

Duke Duozan's meaning is to let Xiling integrate all these 600 people in two months, and then directly establish the Yinta Army, and there will be no more guards in the future. Xilin was in charge of the garrison and the gendarmerie, and he was entrusted with all the security and security work of Silver Tower City. After the division of labor is clear, there will be no stumbling blocks, and things can be done better and more perfectly.

As soon as Cheng Lei returned to the camp and drank the tea that Qinglan poured for him, a dusty guy walked in and reported: "Report to the captain, Night Lion 5 was ordered to come back and report to you." ”

The guy looked like he had just been pulled out of the dirt, the dust on his face had formed a scab, and his clothes were covered with a thick layer of dust. Cheng Lei asked in disbelief: "Why did you get like this, I almost didn't recognize you, come and sit down." ”

He personally poured a glass of water for the team member, and Night Lion 5 took a sip of water and sucked it all into his mouth and drank it: "Captain, since last night, the wind in the place where we built the factory has been a little strong, and the wind was even stronger last night, and people were blown outside so that they couldn't open their eyes at all. The wind carries large grains of sand that can scratch people's skin. ”

"I came back this morning when the wind was a little lighter, and two of the vehicles we drove there broke down due to the sandstorm, and now that the wind is lighter, they may be repairing. I finally rushed back on foot, just to tell you the good news, now the plant and equipment have basically been completed. ”

Cheng Lei was excited when he heard the news: "Really? This is great, but has the equipment been debugged after installation, can it be used, can it be produced? ”

Night Lion 5 said: "Yesterday, Qi Mi and the two captains took the migrant workers to debug for a day, and there may be some flaws, but I think it will be almost completely debugged within two days, and then you will wait for the first batch of cement to be shipped back!" But ......"

"But what? That's it, don't spit it out! ”

"However, if there is such a strong wind in the past few days, it will not be possible to debug and experiment with production at all, and I am afraid that the date of production will be postponed. And we're threatened by those dogmons, and if it weren't for the chariots there that threaten them, they'd have been attacking us a long time ago. Night Lion 5 said with a frown.

"Oh?" Cheng Lei was a little unexpected, those lion dogs and beasts supposedly lived in the Gobi Desert, and the address of the factory was outside the Gobi Desert, could it be said that these lion dogs and beasts remembered their revenge and wanted to take revenge?

Then he calmed down, combed his brain, and said, "In this way, you go take a shower and change your clothes first, sleep here tonight, and set off tomorrow morning." ”

"But......" Night Lion 5 said with some hesitation, "our captain told me to rush back tonight......"

Cheng Lei patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and deliberately said in a mocking tone: "What, what I said is good or what Shao Qian's kid said?" If he dares to embarrass you if you go back tomorrow, you will say what I said and punish him for standing in the wind and sand for a night! Go, and I'll get the order to you tomorrow morning. ”

After Night Lion 5 left, Cheng Lei fell into deep thought, and the reappearance of the lion dog beast cast a shadow on his heart. There are only a thousand days to be a thief and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, everyone understands this truth, but in the face of these lion dogs and beasts, Cheng Lei is really a little helpless.

These big guys live in the Gobi Desert, and even if they concentrate all their current strength, they can only scare them away and cannot completely exterminate them. Can they be allowed to threaten the safety of the cement plant all day long?

Cheng Lei lit a flue-cured cigarette and muttered in his heart, these lions and dogs are all mammals, what are mammals most afraid of? Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw the cigarette butt in his hand, yes, fire, those lion dogs must be afraid of fire! From fire to hunter's trap, then to explosives, mines......

He pulled out a blank sheet of paper from a drawer and drew a rough picture of the cement factory and limestone mine that had long been imprinted in his mind. Then I started to mark things on it, and after I finished marking, I wrote a lot of words in the blank space next to it.
