Volume 3 Chapter 26 Inspiration Strikes
The hurricane arrived as scheduled.
Taking advantage of the time given to it by nature, the gale once again greedily sucks everything in this world, packing up everything it can take away and rolling it into the endless abyss.
Everyone hid in a sheltered cave, quietly waiting for the unwelcome guest to leave. Baozi and Peng Yue sketched a simulated offensive line, although the two of them did not speak, but judging from the dense contour lines, arrows and offensive and defensive paths on the drawings, it must be a big battle. Kong Dechang smoked quietly, he couldn't help with such a professional thing as combat, and waited calmly for the wind to pass. Song Yu was busy folding things with salan papyrus, he was the youngest in the middle grade of the whole army, and after a few days of getting along, he got a lot of love from the soldiers, not only someone gave him snacks, but also got a lot of straw paper to write and draw.
"A strong attack will inevitably cause huge losses," Baozi muttered a truth that everyone understood, and wanted to emphasize that "the losses mainly come from entering the inner city, and our weapons can't knock out the bunker." ”
"Any team that is exposed to the ring fortifications will suffer," Peng Yue said lightly, "unless there is heavy artillery." It would be nice to be able to hit it from the inside out."
"Unless it descends from the sky," Bao Zi smiled and took Peng Yue's words and said, "Our mana has weakened in the Ghost Gate, and there is no helicopter, so don't think about the airdrop." "In the year of the Luding Mountain fire, Baozi rode a horse and galloped through the clouds, the third prince turned into a dragon into the water, the immortals admired, and the people worshipped, and such a happy rescue suddenly flashed in front of him.
The wind had subsided, and the sound of sand and gravel hitting the trench cover was much quieter. Song Yu hurriedly lifted out the folded thing of the salan straw, it was a poorly folded kite, he pushed open the stone slab at the entrance of the cave, and the wind suddenly poured into the entire cave, Song Yu squinted his eyes and poked out half of his head, stretched out an arm, and threw the kite out. Children have a knack for finding joy in any hardship.
"Song Yu, you're too skinny! Don't want to die? Kong Dechang dragged Song Yu and patted him on the ass half-blamedly. After speaking, he had to pull up the slate.
"Wait!" Baozi suddenly realized something and stopped Kong Dechang's move. He hurried to the entrance of the cave and leaned out. The kite has been swept high into the air by the wind, spiraling towards the direction of the Black Cliff, the kite flew over the battlefield, flew over the first city pass, flew past the mysterious core defense area, the skull tower's shelter pill shone brightly, and the huge air flow went around like a nemesis. The kite circled the tower in a spiral arc, and its long tail line suddenly became entangled with the spire of the skull tower, and it was firmly tied to the tower, and a huge force instantly tore the kite, and the kite shattered into pieces after a few struggles.
"There it is!" Baozi caught a glimpse of this scene and muttered to himself, "This gale is not all useless. ”
"This kid!" Kong Dechang said angrily, "Fortunately, it's a kite, if you send a message to the enemy, we can't tell!" ”
Peng Yue stared at Kong Dechang, looked at Song Yu again, and said, "Don't say it, he's still a child." ”
Kong Dechang smoked two cigarettes in one go, and the house smelled of salina smoke, and Baozi always felt that this smell was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he smelled it. It was Kong Dechang's nagging that pulled him back into his consciousness, "Alas, after our grandfather arrived here, although there was food and drink, he was not trusted after all, and there were people staring at him every day when he went out. ”
Baozi patted Lao Kong on the shoulder, "Don't complain, Peng Yue, follow me to the camp." ”
After saying goodbye to Kong Dechang and Song Yu, he hurried to the camp.
"Air strike"
"Air strikes?"
"Yes" Baozi was very excited, looking at the third prince with a confused face, "We only need to calculate the value of the wind speed, and we can use this wind to descend from the sky." ”
"Why didn't I think of it" The third prince scratched his head and had to admire the wisdom of the bun. If you don't have a bun, you seem to be able to make a career, but as soon as the bun appears, the third prince's sense of dependence arises spontaneously, and his IQ also declines.
"In the face of such a hurricane, the landing point of the immortal soldiers who are too different in weight will be very different, so the weight of the selected commandos must be basically the same. Now the troops need to be weighed and divided into different weight classes. Peng Yue said calmly.
"Okay, I'll do it right away"
"It's a secret," Baozi advised, "I'm not sure if the other party knows our plan, and whether there are any spies among us." ”
"I'm here to measure the wind speed, and I need to test it when the wind comes." Peng Yue said, "Three days, we need three days".
"Time is tight," the third prince scratched his head and said, "Hou Ji has given the order to supervise the war," and said as he threw a military newspaper on the table, "He has been attacking the Black Cliff for a long time, and the military rations, weapons, and sick people are all in a hurry, so he ordered us to hurry up and join him." The third prince sighed, "Hou Ji killed three more generals who were afraid of war in one breath, and my gang of foxes Huang Sun was almost wiped out by him." ”
Peng Yue quickly set up simple wind detection equipment including wind speed and vane, wind vane bags, louver boxes and wind vanes, and sent people to make more than 100 kites, weigh stones of different weights, and tie them under the kites. When a strong wind comes, release different kites in batches at different times and calculate the landing point and force of the kite fall.
To make a kite, you need to collect a large number of salan grass with good flexibility in the next year, make paper with fiber grinding, and make keel with long stems. Kong Dechang volunteered to take Song Yu and the soldiers of the logistics department to look for him outside the camp. For a while, several teams scattered on the Gobi, looking for the rare salina grass of the next year. The third prince and Baozi stood at the top of the cliff, looking at the vaguely strange barracks in the distance, thinking about their next move.
Seeing the small figures of Kong Dechang and Song Yu in the distance, the third prince smiled, "You old Kong Gan revolution is really positive." ”
Baozi looked at the eyes of the third prince, Lao Kong's rickety back was very pitiful, and he said, "Don't forget, there is still the possibility of spies." ”
The third prince laughed, "When they first entered the camp, they were all spies. Now under my grace, the spy may not want to be a spy. I'm afraid that he will have a ball, and he won't be able to pass on information if he has it. ”
"My eyelids are jumping, there may be an old man coming," Baozi put down the question of the spies and didn't talk about it, "Roland doesn't know what's going on." ”
"Hey! What's that? People digging grass in the distance shouted, as if Kong Dechang had discovered something. Dozens of small black dots gathered in the direction of Kong Dechang and surrounded them.
After a while, a soldier came to report, "That little boy Song Yu found a dark river." ”
"Dark River?" The third prince asked rhetorically, "Lao Tzu has been here for so long, and he hasn't found that there is a river in this ghost place?" ”
"Good news, good news" the soldier was very excited, "no need to drink salan straw syrup." More soldiers ran in the direction of the Dark River, and the Third Prince and Baozi mixed in the midst of the cheering soldiers, and walked quickly to the side of the Dark River. It was a narrow tunnel pressed by a large rock, and the sound of water under the tunnel was indeed a large river.
"Old Kong, you are the number one hero" The third prince punched Kong Dechang on the shoulder.
"It's not me, it's everyone who found out, Song Yu's ears are thieves, and I heard the sound of water all of a sudden, that's it...."
"Okay, everybody's taking credit. Fortunately, the drinking water problem has been solved. "The third prince is very happy" sent someone to immediately expand the entrance of the cave and arrange for someone to watch it. ”
Twenty-five kilometers upstream from the entrance of the cave, it was dark. The river here has no chance of coming into contact with the surface world. When the river rushes here, it suddenly turns, and the flow slows down, forming a small sandbar.
Roland woke up, and she slowly opened her eyes, and there were no fishy salamanders in front of her, nor could she hear the sound of rushing water, only a canopy made of thick leaves and palm-like weaving. She sat up and found herself lying in a simple room. The walls of the house are also woven of leaves and vines. An old lady was mending Roland's worn-out clothes in the dim light, which consisted of a school of glowing fish in a bottle. There is no electricity here, and there is no kerosene.
The old lady's face flickered in the flickering light, and she couldn't see her face clearly, except that her snow-white hair was pulled into a bun, and a black veil covered her face.
