The formulation of strategy is a technical task, and it will not be easily used on the battlefield without some deduction and repeated revisions.

Therefore, after repeated deductions, the Jixiang military withdrew from the mainland and retreated to the island.

The aim was to shorten the battle line and not give the enemy a chance to exert his superior forces.

Now it is the second day of the evacuation of the auspicious base camp, and Chai Rong looks at the empty gate, as if struck by lightning.

The day before yesterday, the mascot issued a ban, allowing him to enter but not to go out, and Chai Yi realized something.

Yesterday, the clansmen reported that there was no one at the head of the auspicious city, and there was no sound inside.

Chai Rong rushed over early this morning, but what he saw was the most desperate scene of the end of the world.

Combined with the news that the invaders went north yesterday, the mascot avoided its edge.

"What should we do?" Chai Rong asked Chai Yi.

He knew that after the invaders had dealt with the mascot, it would be their turn.

The land was sold to the auspicious people, otherwise the auspicious people would not have taken root here so quickly.

They are also the ones who are the most diligent in bartering, and they are the ones who benefit the most, armor and weapons are even more forbidden, and the purpose of buying them is self-evident, and the intruders are not so easy to fool.

What's more, once the mascot is finished, the other tribes who see the wind and rudder will do everything they can to get rid of the relationship with the peasant clan. It's good if you don't fall into the well, don't expect them to pull it.

If the intruder can't get rid of the mascot in a short period of time, then they are the best punching bag.

Faced with such a situation, how could Chai Rong not be anxious.

"It's all empty?"

Chai Yi didn't answer his words directly, and asked irrelevant questions.

"It's empty, it's all empty, even the new buildings have been demolished and moved away. ”

Chai Yi is not like Chai Rong, he can't control his emotions, everything is reflected on his face, and he still can't see any signs of anxiety at this time.

"Did you leave by boat, or did you move to the island?"

Chai Yi knew that there were only two ways for the mascot to retreat, one was to leave directly by boat and abandon this place, and the other was to retreat to the island, and with the excellent performance of the mascot warship, it might be able to fight the invaders.

"Looking at the traces, it should have been withdrawn to the big island to the north. ”

That's it, the mascot can't be so cowardly, otherwise he wouldn't have come all the way here.

"Don't worry, I know your worries, the mascot will not give in easily, at least he has to fight a battle, and he will not make a final decision after weighing the other party's catties, so we still have time. ”

This was Chai Yi's idea, but Chai Rong disagreed, "What if the invaders attack us first?"

"This ......"

Chai Yi frowned, it was not impossible.

From the analysis of the timeline of the current development of the situation, there are traitors among them, and someone betrays Jixiang, which is one of them.

With the greedy nature of the invaders, they must covet the wealth of the auspicious, which is also the ultimate purpose of their army, which is the second.

The auspicious man had evacuated two days ago, but the invader's army had not yet arrived, which shows that the auspicious intelligence was well done, and the enemy found it before and made the correct response, which is the third.

This also reflects the strength of the auspicious army from the side, and the invaders should not be imported.

It's just that they don't have cavalry, and the field battle will be very dangerous, which may be one of the reasons why they retreated to the big island.

To say that the invaders will attack their own tribe first, Chai Yi thinks that this is possible, but the probability should be unlikely.

"Even if other tribes betray auspiciousness, for the sake of the same clan and the same species, they will not bring us. Besides, I don't think the invaders can resist the desire to rob us of wealth and attack us instead of attacking the mascot. ”

Chai Rong also felt that this sentence made sense.

"Besides, even if we are friendly with the mascot, what does that prove, neither the mascot nor we have done anything to harm the intruders, at most we will transfer the auspicious goods we have traded to them. ”

When he said this, Chai Yi, who had been expressionless, finally showed a look of pain.

No one wants to be a grandchild.

"We have to have faith in the mascot. ”

This sentence is more like cheering himself up, and Chai Yi has no confidence at all.

A period of analysis and exchange was just his own speculation, and he couldn't do it accurately, so Chai Yi decided to probe the mascot before the invaders arrived, so that he could make some arrangements.

This time, Chai Feng asked to go together, but Chai Yi naturally disagreed, and when talking about big things, there was an opposition in the team and something happened.

"It was the people of the You tribe who told the informant, and when I found out, I reminded the mascot that this was the reason for their evacuation. ”

When he said this, Chai Feng's expression was very serious, not like he was making things up.

This subverts Chai Yi's inherent impression of him, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be the other way around, right?

However, if the mascot was evacuated after receiving the warning signal, then the evaluation level of his combat power just now would have dropped a lot.

This incident made Chai Yi's head a little dizzy.

However, no matter whether what Chai Feng said is true or false, as long as he confronts the mascot face to face, he will argue the truth or falsehood.

Time was very tight, and they didn't care about entanglement, so the three of them took a team of clan soldiers and rode away to the north.

Shenlong Island.

The atmosphere before the war was very strong, which was both a challenge and an opportunity for the soldiers.

After all, soldiers have to test their quality through war.

When Zifeng came back last time, he brought another thousand army troops, all of whom were veterans.

The local plus the new recruits, it is only in the early 2000s, which is also one of the reasons why everyone strongly wants to get Wang Xuan back, with him in auspicious control, without full certainty, the people of Daxia will not dare to take risks again.

For the first time, the Red Flame people were allowed to come, and as a result, the territory of the Red Flame became an auspicious territory.

The second time, he let the combined fleet come to Hu, and as a result, he brought people and ships, and almost all of them were fed to the eight kings in Xingyao Lake.

The third time the lords launched a persecution against the auspicious people, and as a result, the river fleet drove directly into the territory of Great Xia, shelled the sunset leader, and captured the lord Qin Yuan alive.

Again and again in front of auspiciousness, if the people of Daxia do not have a long memory, then the world has to suspect that Zhao Shengrui has a tendency to be abused.

Wang Zhi was busy counting supplies, and now he was implementing a rationing system, which he used once in the war with the Combined Fleet, and the effect was good.

The internal and external environment they face today is very similar to that of that time, so they rely on the gourd to draw a scoop, and no one knows when the support will arrive.

"Commissioner, the food is good, there is still a lot of food, according to the news of the viper, the enemy should not launch an attack in three or two days, we can also find the peasants to exchange some, but there are also these islands around, there are a lot of birds and beasts, there should be no starvation to death, it is ......"

"What's it?"

"It's just that there is some nervousness in terms of ordnance. "The man who came told the truth.

"Ordnance, which category is specific?" Wang Zhi asked, this is very important.

"It's grenades and flowering bullets. ”

Seeing that Wang Zhi was puzzled, the person who came explained again.

When this continent was first discovered, the main purpose was trade, through trade to stimulate the yearning of the Xingyao people for this continent, and to dilute the proportion of indigenous people through immigration.

Once this effect is formed, Jixiang will initiate the next step of the cannibalization plan and eventually swallow the continent.

Of course, this is just a plan, as for how long it will take to swallow this continent, no one knows, maybe ten years, maybe a hundred years.

Therefore, every time the ship is sailed, it is loaded with people and goods, and there is not much ammunition to replenish, especially the heavy and low-yield flowering shells.

There is a lot of gunpowder, which is a sharp weapon to defend the city, but there is no shortage of it.

After some explanation, Wang Zhi understood.

"This is a matter for the military, what does Commander Liu say?"

"The Grand Commander said he could use whatever he wanted, and he wanted grenades and flowering bullets, but no one gave them to him. ”

It stands to reason that Liu Liu, as the military commander here, should be called the commander more appropriately, if it is calculated according to the number of people under his hands, it should also be called Commander Liu, but everyone is used to being called 'commander and commander', and it doesn't matter if they are called in private, anyway, they are not soldiers, so they don't have to abide by those strict rules.

"That's right, but our tools and technicians are still there, some factories can build the frame first, there are so many islands around, and there are a lot of resources found, and those who can start work can move as much as possible, we can't just wait stupidly, we have to be self-reliant." ”

These words reached Liu Liu's ears, and he listened very well.

Although the task of building fortifications was tight and the time was urgent, he still allocated a company of troops to support the construction of the government, which moved Wang Zhi greatly.

"How's Tsukishima going?"

Liu Liu asked the confidential secretary.

"Commander, Chief Hu wrote that Tsukishima is enough to dock warships, but due to the supply of materials, it is not possible to do shore defense for the time being. ”

Although he was in the army, Liu Liu still knew the role of coastal defense.

The two crab-like pincers that stretched out on the land in Xingyao Bay were covered with dense large-caliber artillery, that is, the shore defense artillery.

If you want to do shore defense, you have to lay a good foundation and build a good fort, and the demand for cement, steel bars, and explosives is not small, and it is really impossible to do it in the current environment, and it is more important for valuable materials to be used to strengthen Shenlong Island.

"If you don't do it, you won't do it, if the fleet is defeated, it doesn't matter if you have shore defense or not. ”

The secretary nodded, saluted, and stepped back.

The commander is studying tactics, and if he can, try not to disturb it, this is not more auspicious, and there is no place to make up for the dead.

In front of Liu Liu was a military map.

The map is large and detailed, including the width of the trail that connects Shenlong Island with the mainland, the depth of the water on both sides, the distribution of the surrounding islands, and so on.

Now his eyes were on the end of the trail, where there was the fuse that detonated the entire base camp.

After thinking for a long time, he called the communication soldier, "Call Liu Zhi, the leader of the X squad of the Great White Shark." ”

The communication soldier turned to leave, and after a while, Liu Zhi came.

Liu Liu told Liu Zhi his thoughts, "How long will it take to finish?"

"Commander, this road is several kilometers long, and if you want to connect the lead to the central position, you need to increase the length by at least two kilometers, is there enough material?"

"The lead is enough, this thing is light, and it brought a lot at the beginning. ”

After a pause, he continued: "But the ceramic pipe is not clear, you wait, I will ask someone to ask the government logistics." ”

After another stick of incense, Liu Liu got the exact information that the ceramic tube was insufficient.

Come to think of it, the trade profits are so gratifying, the space on the ship can be used, and even the bathrooms are crowded, and the ceramic pipes with low demand are naturally not competitive.

The rest of these are still the ones that were originally brought to build a tap water supply system.

Who knew that half of the base camp was built, and the people of Semu came, so the cement pipe naturally could not be used, and there was only so much for the rest.

"It's based on the length of the pipe. Liu Liu insisted on this, "But the disguise must be done well, and the other party must not be found out." ”

Liu Zhi left with the task, and this matter can't wait.

The intruder could come at any time, and the information of the viper was also speculated, so how could people come according to their ideas.

After getting the utensils and equipment at the logistics, he rushed to the north shore with people, and it was not safe to finish it early.

Along the way, Liu Zhi was analyzing the commander's intention to do so.

He understood that the invaders were powerful, and that the site of the old auspicious base camp was likely to be their station.

There is a basis for such a judgment.

There are ready-made walls, and ready-made walls, although they are damaged, are better repaired than a tent like a burial bag.

The most important thing is the distance, here is about five thousand meters away from Shenlong Island, not far or close, artillery is out of reach, as the most suitable headquarters.

Even if the enemy is too cautious and does not use existing ones, new garrisons will be nearby.

This is determined by the terrain of both sides, as long as the other party is not a two-hundred-five, they will choose so.

In this way, the lead on the shore is right under the nose of the enemy.

The possibility of the mascot detonating the explosives will be slim, and it is not a question of how many people die, but how many people will not succeed.

If it is extended to the north, it will be out of the enemy's controlled area and convenient for ignition, second, it will be safe within the range of its own effective artillery bombardment, and third, it will be more hidden, so that the enemy will not detect the abnormality and evacuate the explosion point in advance.

However, the ceramic tube is insufficient, only a kilometer.

Although it is barely out of the danger zone, it is still within the range of enemy shelling, and it is still unsafe.

Once you take someone to fill it, isn't it just three hundred taels of geomagnetic silver?

Liu Zhi had fought head-on with the intruder, and he didn't think that the other party was a fool and let the mascot do it.

What he is now thinking about is how to let others ignite the wires without exposing them.

This is probably the real reason why Commander Liu gave him this task.
