However, the strength of the outnumbered people was great, and the work of cutting down trees and digging trenches, transporting heavy ammunition, and collecting stones was immediately divided into parts. Meng Jiucheng took his own soldiers and unceremoniously forcibly collected most of the grain stored by several wealthy families in Wenjia Shanqian Village and Youlian Guanzhuang Village, leaving only a few white slips, which can be regarded as solving the problem of eating soldiers and migrant workers within a few days.

I work hard during the day, and I am not idle at night. The sharpened sticks were blackened and hardened on the fire, and planted into small holes in the ground in front of the village. The ruler-long tip is densely packed, squeezing the road into the village to only allow three people or one car to pass through.

Test firing, distance measurement, and then several fences were dismantled in the village, several courtyards were opened, and six stone throwers brought from Pingdingshan were laid in the village.

And Meng Jiucheng still has a secret weapon, so he is so confident.

Artillery! That's right, it was mentioned when he was talking to Mu Yi, and it should be called a pine cannon to be exact.

A sturdy trunk is slightly pruned, then cut in half, each half is taken out as the inner chamber, and then tightened with an iron ring, it is a front-loading cannon.

It is time-saving and labor-saving, easy and fast to use, and although it has limited power (the effective killing distance is only more than 30 meters), it is the first large-caliber body-controlled weapon in history.

All six pine cannons on the flat-topped hill were transported and fixed on flatbed trucks, turning out to be fast-moving artillery.

Meng Jiucheng felt that in addition to the firing range, the pine cannon was very promising in other aspects. The next step was to create a shielded artillery carriage that would be ready to be pushed closer to bombard the enemy. This must be the first of its kind, and the cost is too low, just wood and a few hoops of iron hoops, and they are scrapped and thrown away. And due to the characteristics of wood, cracks will appear before the explosion, and the early warning effect is obvious, which can effectively prevent accidental injury.

Hundreds of gravel and iron sand were sprayed over, and the killing range of fan-shaped fire was several times greater than that of shotguns. The Red Army used it to beat white dogs, fought little devils in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the devils who were also injured were terrified and called "pockmarked guns".

In order to ensure that he could win this crucial battle, Meng Jiucheng also let it go. Regardless of whether others pay attention to it or not, if you can't even protect yourself, you can be satisfied with the so-called secret into the coffin?

In the absence of the strength to crush it, a little carelessness can lead to complete failure. In many cases, the success or failure of a matter depends on the details that go unnoticed. Moreover, the start-up of the base area is still very weak and cannot withstand failure.

Whether the decision is right or wrong depends on the situation and situation at the time, and more importantly, the final result. If the result is not good, then it is wrong; The result is good, no matter how mentally retarded the decision is, it is also correct and wise.

If Meng Jiucheng's plan is successfully implemented, there will naturally be nothing to say. But he can't take the unexpected for granted.

Although Meng Jiucheng still believes in his luck so far, he is not sure that he is brighter than Zhuge Liang.

Who will be the hunter and who will be the prey? A comprehensive test of wisdom, courage, perseverance, and skills, the losing side will bleed and will die.

The pursuit of success, the hope of making meritorious contributions, the passion for killing, and the desire to fight are the driving forces that support Meng Jiucheng.

This battle is extraordinary, many things are done by Meng Jiucheng himself, and he can rest assured when he is properly arranged. Even if the work is completed, Meng Jiucheng has to supervise and inspect it to ensure that it meets the requirements.

As soon as it was dawn, Meng Jiucheng took a few people out of the village. What he saw was a busy working people, and he looked at it aimlessly, but his eyes couldn't help but focus on a man.

In the sun, the man's face was dark and sweaty. The weather was still cold, but he was only wearing a jacket, showing a strong figure. What's even more special is that he has an axe pinned to his waist, and the reason for this is not complicated, half of his blackened and withered ears are worn by rope and tied to the axe.

Finding that someone was staring at him, the man raised his head and looked at Meng Jiucheng.

With broad shoulders, calm eyes, and firm lips, this guy is a soldier in his bones. Meng Jiucheng smiled and nodded, noting this man in his heart.

…………

Gray clouds, moving slowly from south to north, the sun dimmed, small patches of cold clear sky that seemed to be in contemplation, peeking down from time to time through the cracks in the clouds. The earth is immersed in the mud and humid air of the initial snow and ice, giving people a sense of desolation and desolation.

Riding on a horse and marching with a large team, Du Qi's back was straight. Shouldn't a general be like this, so that he can be majestic!

Since entering the county seat with Zhang Cheng, Du Qi has worked hard to get rid of his previous style, and he is also quite dissatisfied with his former brothers. In his mind, the reckless rivers and lakes are certainly his roots, but if he doesn't get rid of these, how can he soar and dominate the world?

Well, let's put the matter of enthronement on hold for a moment. Find a foothold first, then expand your team and take the first step to dominate the side.

In fact, Du Qi can also be regarded as a robber with pursuits and ideals, much stronger than those bandits who live for a day and are happy for a day.

But will struggle lead to success, and will dreams always come true?

There are countless examples that have proven that God only gave everyone the luck of being alive, and did not give everyone the promise of a big fish. You don't even know the right and wrong orbit of the moment, how can you be so sure that it will be the sky you can fly?

Just like Du Qi, he has plans for the future, and he is full of ambition, but he would never have thought that there would be a tiger in front of him, let alone that his ideal would end here soon.

"Boss, no, General." A small leader hurried from the front of the team to report, "The village in front has been taken, but everyone has run away, and only a few old and sick guys remain." ”

"it!" Du Qixu whipped the horsewhip, which seemed to affect the wound, the flesh on his face twitched a few times, and he said fiercely: "It's all cut." These people will not be honest and obedient in the future if they don't give them some power. ”

"No, no." A literati-looking guy with two mustaches urged the donkey to come over, and this season he had to shake the folding fan in his hand, "The general is ambitious, why suffocate with a few old immortals?" Leaving them a cheap life can demonstrate the benevolence and righteousness of the general and dissolve the misunderstanding and hostility of the people towards the general. Sun Ziyun: A soldier who surrenders without a fight, and a good person who is good. Therefore, the upper army is attacking, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege ......"

"Okay, okay, just do what Mr. says." Du Qi's brain hurt when he heard these words, and he hurriedly waved his hand and ordered.
