Chapter 123: The Sand Table is a Good Thing

After poor Xiao Ding followed Fang Xiaoru back, he was still called to give a lecture. Even Chen Jialan, who rushed after hearing the news, couldn't escape the old guy's accusation in the end, and stayed together to listen to Fang Xiaoru's preaching.

Xiao Xi's arrival made the master and servant breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they were also worried about Tang Ming's body, and they originally wanted to go with them to have a look, but after seeing Fang Xiaoru's gloomy face, Chen Jialan decisively dispelled this idea and took Xiao Ding to take the opportunity to slip away.

When Fang Xiaoru came to Tang Ming's residence, he found that this guy was pounding the fine sand on the wooden table, and he didn't know why, so he tightened his eyebrows and walked over. Tang Ming probably focused too much on the fine sand on the wooden table, and didn't notice Fang Xiaoru who was already standing beside him.

"Ahem...... Virtuous nephew, you should rest more if you are not in good health, why don't you pay attention to your own body, what are you still tinkering with? Fang Xiaoru saw that Tang Ming was too focused, and he actually regarded himself who had been standing beside him for a long time as air, so he had no choice but to speak first.

Tang Ming had just finished the fine sand and was about to work with his sleeves down, but he never thought that Fang Xiaoru would suddenly speak beside him, and looked at him in a daze. I saw that he had a dark face, a serious expression and slightly angry eyes, obviously disgusted that he was not lying on the bed and pretending to be a patient.

I didn't expect Fang Xiaoru to come so quickly, Tang Ming laughed embarrassedly and said: "Uncle, don't be angry, my own body is actually fine, and if I don't get up and move after lying on the bed for two days, my bones are about to rust." ”

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Fang Xiaoru's face was obviously written with two big words of disbelief at the moment, but listening to Tang Ming's angry appearance, he was somewhat relieved. Looking at the fine sand on the table again, Fang Xiaoru hesitated and asked, "What are you doing here, what are you going to do with the mud and sand?" ”

Hehe smiled, Tang Ming didn't answer, turned to stare at the fine sand on the table with just the right humidity, and began to pile up a small hill in the middle, and then picked up some small stones and placed them at the foot of the mountain.

With the hill as the center point, the terrain of Weihai Island is circled with a branch, and a simple and intuitive solid sand table is done.

Tang Ming only pointed to his masterpiece at this time, and proudly explained to Fang Xiaoru: "Uncle, please see, this is the general topography of our Weihai Island now. This is the mountain behind us, and this is where we are now camping. ”

Fang Xiaoru nodded, in fact, he had already understood that this kid was making a sand table when Tang Ming had made the mountain. But what is this kid doing here? Too bored to be idle? This is impossible, even if Tang Ming is idle, he will definitely not be so painful as to play with the fine sand.

After a moment of silence, Fang Xiaoru spoke: "What are you doing here?" Didn't the old man tell you earlier? We'll talk about it tomorrow, and you should focus on your body now. ”

Tang Ming was very moved by the concern from the elders, but he also had a hard time, and shook his head: "Uncle's kindness and little nephew have grasped it, the great enemy currently knows that there will be danger, where can the little nephew sleep at this time." As soon as I was lying on the bed just now, I closed my eyes and was full of things about how to defend myself. ”

"It's a pity that the little nephew doesn't have a good memory, so he came up with a sand table, so that we can intuitively arrange our defense, like ...... here."

Tang Ming pointed to the back of the hill with the branch in his hand, and continued: "There are stilt cliffs in the back mountain for nearly a mile, and the terrain in other places is also very complicated, so it is impossible to land at all!" We only need to place a dozen secret posts in such a place, and there is no need for defense at all. To be able to land from such a complex terrain, at most a few scattered people, it is enough for those dark sentinels to bring bows and arrows and fire. ”

"What about the rest of the world?" When Fang Xiaoru heard Tang Ming say this, he was also interested.

The sand table is really good, the terrain and landform can be intuitively presented, and for those who watch, it can make subtle judgments.

Tang Ming picked up a few small stones again, put them on the sea directly in front of the small dock, and said with a smile: "Directly in front of our camp, the terrain here is flat and the coastline is all gentle sandy beaches, which is the best place for pirates to land, and it is also the place where we need to invest a lot of money in defense. ”

Therefore, the little nephew is ready to let Brother Fei put two treasure ships here, plus four more warships. This is our first line of defense at sea, and as for the defense on the shore, there are very few pirates left who believe they can break through the first line of defense. Later, Brother Li and some soldiers will definitely be able to ensure that it is correct. ”

"Well, that's reasonable, but there are still two directions to defend, General Fei's remaining fleet should be defended in one direction, so we don't have another direction to defend, but our island has already been transferred to the personnel who can be used to fight, what are you going to do?"

Fang Xiaoru pointed out the drawbacks of the problem sharply, Tang Ming's armed forces are only these, and it is already the biggest limit to separate them to defend the two directions. Just like the natural barrier he just mentioned, the cliffs in the back mountain can be left undefended, just send someone to keep an eye on it. But it's not that there is one direction left without any defenses, and that's where the most important thing is.

Tang Ming stared at the sand table and fell into deep thought, the front is the focus of defense, and some more defensive forces can be arranged, while the rear is a cliff and the terrain is complicated, it is not suitable as a place for landing, only a dozen people need to watch here.

With the front and rear arranged, then there are only left and right, how should one treasure ship and eight warships be arranged. Tang Ming only has this last bit of strength left, and it is not good to take it apart, but when put together, it can only defend one side.

"It's really hard to decide!" Tang Ming sighed secretly.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought that Xiaobai's wolf's den was in the col on the right. It was definitely the territory of the wolves, and no one on the island could get close to it except him.

When they first came ashore, some people were curious to enter the mountain col and were all injured by wolves, but fortunately, Tang Ming arrived in time after hearing the news, otherwise it would be inevitable that a few people would die.

"Hey, hey!" The problem that had caused Tang Ming a headache for a long time finally had a solution, and he couldn't help but laugh twice for a while.

Fang Xiaoru looked at Tang Ming in front of him and suddenly smirked, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Boy, what are you smirking at all of a sudden?" ”

Tang Ming was in a comfortable mood at the moment, and he didn't care about Fang Xiaoru's puzzled expression, and asked the pioneer to notify Fei Xin and Li Ba to come to see him. Then he asked Fang Xiaoru to wait for a while, and then he would explain when everyone came.
