Chapter 41: Pig and Dog Repeater
The army meandered into the heart of the desert, and the Governor of the Metropolitan absorbed fresh blood while recovering the few villages with many plagues, replenishing the militia to join the ranks, and Tenglimu, Kechu, Tangi, and Vartu were in charge of the drills. Practice while walking, and take the test while practicing. Everywhere he went, he instructed people to give gaba, which he had, but he couldn't eat it, but he could give it to the army. Now he is afraid that he is richer than the richest man in Kuzsia, the Lord of Wind Catcher.
He asked Tuda and Jalang to regroup the people of the old man Bayi squad and the Zhou Papi squad to form a propaganda team. Everywhere he went, he set up a grass platform in the center of the village. The performances that seem to be performed by the Governor himself are nothing more than cross talk, sketches, dramas, soloists, choruses, etc.
Language programs are mainly narrative-based, with distinctive character characteristics, solid performances that are not exaggerated, humorous dialogues, and coherent rhythms, which are hundreds of times stronger than those who are paralyzed with tens of millions of salaries at every turn. These shows highlight the brutality of Tsuchinozuka, the cowardice of Stormcatcher, and the omnipotence of the chosen ones from the black hole. The Great War Daitaimeng, the Surprise Attack on Kaman City, the Breaking of Ambilight, the Forgiveness of the Original Sin Clan, etc., were compiled into a series by him, called "Thousands of Degrees to Find Him in the Crowd". A round of non-stop performances alone can take two days.
The solo singing is generally performed by the good voice of the army Ella Vera, most of the overseers taught her to sing "A Big River", "Little Poplar" and "Into the New Era", the two daughters with their bewitching appearance, high-pitched voice, charming intimidation and emotional performance quickly conquered these old, weak, sick and disabled, in the southwest of the Kuzsia continent quickly became popular, becoming the top brand of the major rural small theaters.
The chorus is composed of five small men, don't look at the brothers who are thin, but they have a good voice, good rhythm, and more importantly, good cooperation, which is probably related to their companionship since childhood. Those "March of the Volunteers", "The Internationale" and "Unity is Strength" were sung in a good way, and they even learned to use high and low voices, and most of them couldn't help but praise and applaud.
We must listen to the respectful teachings of the old man and learn from the successful experience of our predecessors. The Metropolitan Governor was convinced of this, and the "Quotations of the Chairman" were placed next to the pillows of Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme and Tyson, didn't it explain the problem? Therefore, if he wants to gain a foothold in Kuzsia and win a bargaining chip against Chicken Wings and Tuwangzuka, what he can rely on now is these things in history books and political books. I think that if you learn Marne-Les hair and diamonds well, you can also turn into spades.
"Grand Governor, the military post of this tribe has been set up. From here, in the tribes in both the direction of Kankun and Cheche, we built military posts for communication and cross-linking, and each post was guarded by ten sergeants. If there is an urgent military need to be announced, it will only take about eight days at the earliest. Jaylon reported.
What is the key to the countryside surrounding the city? The key is to point to point, connect into a line, connect into a piece, form a network, form a joint force, form a linkage, pull a hair and move the whole body, pull a piece of paper and the whole roll of toilet paper falls on the toilet floor. That's the only thing the Metropolitan understands about B2B and blockchain.
"Okay, how many new recruits have we added these days?"
"There are about two thousand, and the current army totals about seven thousand."
"Is there any news from the adults?"
"I haven't been able to get in touch with the Lord Lai, and the scouts sent out have been squatting outside the Storm Catcher for a few days. Now the wind catching city is full of rumors, grass and trees, it is estimated that he was frightened by the governor of the capital's sentence that is more terrifying than death is waiting for death, and the whole city is under all-weather martial law, even a mouse can't enter. Jayron shook his head and said.
"Okay, that's what it does!" The Governor struck with both palms.
"But isn't it necessary to take advantage of the unpreparedness of people to fight a war? In this way, Wind Catcher City is like a frightened bird and a shrunken turtle, we have to fight it, right? Jayron was puzzled.
"You don't understand that, Jayron. Fighting a war is not entirely based on combat effectiveness, but more importantly, it is a duel in techniques and tactics. What is the most important thing in modern warfare? There are three points: the first point is that information is king, who has more, more comprehensive and wider information, and whose information is sensitive, accurate, practical and fast-updated, who has the initiative, who can get twice the result with half the effort. The second point is psychological warfare, which implants the emotions of worry, anxiety, disappointment, confusion, and uncertainty into the hearts of opponents through some means, which will greatly reduce their combat effectiveness, make mistakes in cooperation, act in an untidy manner, and misjudge decision-making. Do you say it's awesome? ”
Jaylon lowered his head thoughtfully, obviously these theories were a little too pale for him, he missed too many lessons on the road of civilization.
"And what is the third point?"
"The third point is spy warfare, this, this is too difficult, let's talk about it in the next class, okay? Class! The Metropolitan Governor wiped the foam from the corners of his mouth and got up to listen to "Unity is Strength".
Hugh Jack had been the busiest man lately, and the Governor appointed him the leader of the Einsatzgruppen, with the command of the five hundred Karman sappers who had not previously been assigned to the camp. These people are all personally selected by Hugh Jack, all of them are the top craftsmen in the clan, who are proficient in measuring, building, building, excavating and raising, bricklayers, carpenters, turners, and grinders.
"Alas, old Jack? The last time I drew you that thing, how did you study? The Grand Governor asked, patting Hugh Jack on the back.
"Governor, do you mean that pig and dog crossbow? You've done a little bit, why don't you give it a try? Hugh Jack grinned.
"What pig dog repeater? What about the wooden donkey and the horse? Rogue! The Metropolitan Governor took a sip. It is called Zhuge Repeater, which is a brilliant treasure in the history of Chinese civilization and a wonderful flower blooming in Zhuge Kongming's mind. Do you understand the crystallization of wisdom? Do you understand the fruits of hard work? Forget it, tell him that he doesn't understand either, that his IQ is in arrears.
Old Jack shouted, and a soldier came up with a wooden bow in the shape of a semi-automatic rifle and handed it to the Grand Duke.
Most of the governors started to investigate, and the materials used by the good guys were really pure, and they used a dozen good woods, and they were very heavy. The bowstring, handles, tracks, crosshairs, and triggers are all available, polished exactly as he wanted, without the slightest burr or blemish.
"Yes, yes! Good craftsmanship! Zhou Yu laughed and raised his crossbow.
"Alas, alas, the Grand Duke, be careful of the injury!" Hugh Jack hurriedly pushed the crossbow pointed at him to the side.
"Cut, stingy!" Zhou Yu turned to aim at a dead tree, pulled the trigger, and with a whoosh, a steel needle the size of a palm shot out, hitting the trunk in front of him, but it didn't stop, and it came out through the body, which shows the strength of the bow and the accuracy of the adjustment.
One more buckle, gone.
buckle, no response.
"Huh? Old Jack, and then what? ”
"What? Grand Governor! ”
"Gone? Just one shot? ”
"yes, I'll have to reload if I shoot again! Here, here's the cartridge, I'll put it on you. As he spoke, Hugh Jack handed over a wooden box.
"My day, your mother? Jackman, add it to me, fill it up for me! What kind of thing are you doing? Zhou Yu's face was gloomy.
"Pig and dog crossbows? Didn't you let you do it? Old Jack didn't know what he was doing wrong, and he upset the Governor.
"Repeater, repeater, your uncle's. Is it connected? Where did even go? The Governor weighed his crossbow in front of Old Jack.
"Eh, the last general, the last general... Old Jack wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, he really didn't know how this repeater should be, when the governor explained to him, he slipped away, one ear entered, and the other ear was listening to "Into the New Era".
"Can you get some heart?"
"Uh, what's the snack? Governor, there are only dried meat and dumplings in this army, and there is really no snack for you, so you will be incompetent! Old Jack raised his face as he spoke, pretending to slap his uncompetitive right cheek.
Zhou Yu was so angry that he almost turned his back on it.
"Gotcha, yes, I've got you. Shall I throw in the towel? I'm mentally retarded, are you satisfied? Zhou Yu grabbed Old Jack's collar, and the two of them bent down and lowered their heads together.
"Look, I'll say it again. Don't, don't watch, still watch? Zhou Yu pressed his head. Old Jack's erratic eyes are probably looking for Ellavera on the grass platform.
"You see how this can be made, there are two ways: one is a shotshot, three or five crossbow arrows are separated from the angle and arranged in parallel. With a single shot, several arrows in a volley, you can attack multiple targets at the same time. Got it? Zhou Yu drew on the sand with a branch.
"Understood, understood!"
"The other is a rechargeable crossbow, where one arrow bounces out and the other automatically replenishes. You've got to have a * here, here! That's what I told you for the first time, what about you*? Got it in your hands? Your mother's, how do you connect it in your hand? Isn't it still an ordinary bow and arrow? ”
"Well, the little one understands this time, understands. Governor, give me another day, and I will instruct the Einsatzgruppen to change it immediately, immediately, immediately, and until you are satisfied! After Hugh Jack finished speaking, he carried Zhuge a single crossbow and ran away as if he were running faster than a rabbit.
After recovering more than two dozen tribes along the way, a sunny noonday army finally saw the desert capital, Windcatcher. On the hillside, although the black-pressed but well-organized Zhou Jiajun was sleepy and lacking, no one was noisy and quiet, and even a needle could be heard. Are these soldiers about to face a bloody battle? Whether it was victory, or death, or celebration of victory with death, they did not know. But everyone knows in their hearts that since embarking on the road of no return to revolution, battle has been their eternal theme and symbol of life, and if they lose it, they will lose the meaning of existence.
The Wind-Catching City is towering like a cloud and stands majestically. In the endless yellow sand, like the last pure land in the last days, like the full moon in the lonely sky and the lotus canopy in the calm lake, standing right in front. It is a quadrangular building, made of brick and stone, presumably by the hands of the Kamans. At the four corners of the city are four tall arrow towers, which are important defensive buildings, and in the middle of the city wall is a huge gate that is more than ten zhang high. At this time, the gates were closed, like Hannibal with a chew. The outside of the city walls was mottled with a few shades of red, and it was supposed that the defenders of the city covered the phrase left by Yeka: "What is more terrible than death is to wait for death". As for Nachazon's head, did it bring them fear or hatred?
"Hugh Jack, is this Windcatcher the work of a Kaman craftsman?"
"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, exactly. Designed by the previous chief craftsman of Kaman, Zaka, it took 10 years to complete and has been in use for more than 100 years. Hugh Jack helped his blindfold and replied to Zhou Yu.
"Oh, Bai Qi, Zhang Xianzhong, retreat ten miles and set up camp!" Zhou Yu quickly calculated in his heart, in front of such a fortified city, how to play a good hand of cards is a technical job.
"Come, Governor, add a bowl of broth." Toyotomi Hideyoshi took a wooden spoon and scooped up a spoonful of chicken broth from the bubbling soup pot and handed it over.
"Da Kuan, have you five eaten?" The Metropolitan Governor bit the dumpling, and asked Lu Bu with a smile about the ramen Wuxiao behind him.
"Eat, eat, Governor, you eat too!" Da Kuan was ecstatic along the way, and having food was like life in heaven for them. Displaced people, what an easy need to meet the need for survival.
"Lao Zhang, how many days can our military rations last?"
"Well, about ten days, no more."
Well, ten, ten days. If there is no chance of victory within ten days, the army must be withdrawn. Otherwise, if this hungry soldier wants to overcome this impregnable city, wouldn't it be a fool's dream and a fantasy? Such a soldier came to the city, but it was a dead end.
"The Metropolitan Governor, the art of war is cloudy: those who make good use of soldiers, no longer serve in the army, the grain is not three years, and it is used for the country, because the food is in the enemy, so the military food can be sufficient." Bai Qi put down the soup bowl, stroked his white beard and said.
"I know, even if you rob it, you have to grab it, right? You also saw the tribes that passed by along the way, Lao Bai. It is a problem for them to feed themselves, how can they supply our army of 5,000? Zhou Yu said angrily.
"Grand Governor, can you use the tactics of capturing Carman City?" Ellavera wore a translucent veil and asked.
"Not advisable. Punch Man, it's an information asymmetry. The enemy does not know what day, how many people, and what methods we will use. And this Wind Catcher City is heavily guarded, and it is obvious that it has entered the battle mode early. Moreover, the scouts in front reported that dozens of people were carrying large barrels on the city wall every day to pour boiling lard from top to bottom, and the entire city wall was so slippery that birds could not stand, let alone people. I'm afraid that the palm suction cups that the fly people rely on will not be used. I guess your must have sent his men to inform his master of Windcatcher City early, and we are Kaman who used the climbing technique to break it. ”
"Report to the Governor, and ask for a meeting for the establishment of the country." Tuda squeezed in to report.
"Quick! Bring him here! "Hearing the name of the founding of the country, the Metropolitan Governor was like seeing a lighthouse in the endless sea.
"How's it going? What about adults? ”
"It's good to come here, the three of us spent some Gaba and mixed in a tribe to enter the Wind Catcher City. After entering the city, the adults booked a room in the inn, and we had been observing it for some time. In the past two days, the Lord has estimated that the day of the army's march is almost up, so he instructed the two of us to go east and west, to find out where the army is camped, and report to you! "The founding of the country has been dusty all the way, and his face is full of dust.
"What about the defense of Storm Catcher?" The Metropolitan Governor couldn't wait to ask him, and the eyes of the other battalion commanders, deputy commanders, and vanguard officers were also focused on him. At the moment, the three of them are the only eyes and ears of the army, if they want not to be blinded by their eyes, oh no, they can only rely on them.
Grunt, Jianguo raised the water scoop handed over by Bang Shuai and drank it all.
"Well, Wind Catcher City is worthy of being a pearl on the continent of Kuzsia...
"I'm going to hammer you to death a night pearl!" The Metropolitan Governor punched him in the chest, when is it, this grandson still has time to prose here.
"Getting to the point!"
"Oh, oh! The city is about ten times the size of Kankun City, and has a rough estimate of 100,000 inhabitants. The standing army had 20,000 men, and we had already mixed in a few days earlier. In the past few days, a notice has been posted in the city, saying that the lord of the city has an order to fight the rogue thieves who come to fight with all his might, and the whole city is only allowed to leave and not enter. So Lucy and I are out and can't go back. ”
"Did I get you done?" The Metropolitan asked eagerly.
"It's done, it's done. As soon as we entered the city with the adults, we found a bar and paid a few bards to sing the hymn every day. It was also changed later, which probably means that a new era is coming, and the time has come to overthrow the evil old society. At night, according to your instructions, the three of us picked a few poorly guarded places and posted you, that... "Jianguo seems to have forgotten the name of that thing in a hurry.
"Big-character poster, go on."
"Yes, yes, put up that big-character poster. As you might expect, Storm Catcher City is really prosperous and unusually developed, and even the rare paper in Kankun and Carman City on weekdays is sold in large quantities, and we have covered all the papers. Written during the day and posted at night, although many of them were discovered by officers and soldiers, they were immediately banned. But come on, my lord, let's take a shot and change places. Fortunately, it is not dishonored, and the post is now known all over the city. Oh, I still have a scroll in my arms. As he spoke, Jianguo took out a roll of big-character posters, which read "Heaven Dies", "Overthrow the Tyrant", "The Chosen One", and "Equality and Freedom".
"What a word!" The Metropolitan Governor applauded, this Junchen really got his true biography. As soon as the expert makes a move, he will know if there is one!
"Therefore, in the past few days, Wind Catcher City has also been disturbed. The adults said that they were afraid of startling the grass and revealing their identities. We just closed our doors and waited for the situation to spread. also waited for the arrival of the army and joined the governor of the capital. After Jianguo finished speaking, he glanced around, as if he was showing off the exploits of the squad.
"Governor, then, what now?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi asked with a fist, he was a fanatical warmonger. Although we know that the enemy is strong and we are weak, that the enemy is defending and that it is difficult for us to attack, and that it is difficult for the enemy to be easy, it is still difficult to hide the desire for war in my heart.
"Wait!"
"Wait?"
"Hmm!" The Metropolitan Governor rubbed his chin and said firmly.
