Chapter 45: Tusi Cave (6)
"Give it to me, let's start preparing for the defense, old toast, can you give me all the people to use. I want to get to work now. ”
"Little brother, what you said is that I immediately instructed them to transport all the materials and materials out, and then organize everyone and start the project immediately." After the old Tusi gave the order, the people in the entire Tusi Cave, as long as they can still make a little effort, whether men, women, or children go into battle together, it seems that everyone's motivation is very high. My uncle began to draw a sketch and told us to prepare the stakes, tar, and check the guns and ammunition. Looks like it's going to be a big fight.
At this time, Qin Wu also went to the craftsman to change the scabbard a little more appropriately, but I didn't have anything to do, and at this time, my uncle was eyeing me again.
"Xiaoyu, is there nothing wrong, come on, come on, come here, according to this map, mark these coordinates on the outside for me. Hurry up, I'll buy you candy when I'm done. "I look outside, it's the second half of the night, and the sun hasn't come out, which makes me mark the coordinates like this.
"Uncle, it's dark outside, I have night blindness, and I can't see anything. You'd better go yourself. ”
"Well, no problem." As he spoke, my uncle burst out of his hand with a fireball and exploded in the sky, and there was a light in the sky, and everything could be seen. But the strange thing is that this light has not been extinguished for a long time, like a bright lamp hanging in the sky.
"Hurry up, I'll get you another one later, don't worry about running out of light." Go ahead, it's your chance to perform. "Now that the conditions are there, it seems that this time we have to go out. My uncle gave me a bucket of white ash, a tape measure and a drawing. At this time, Xiaoxue wants to go out of the city with me, but I can't ask for it, after all, it's not easy for me to mark these coordinates by myself.
We arrived outside the city walls, where there were a lot of weeds, and although it usually prevented others from discovering the caves, it was now a hidden treasure for mandrills. I read the drawings of my uncle's mark, and the weeds ten meters away from the outside had to be removed. A defensive ditch should be dug near the city wall, and sharpened wooden stakes should be laid out inside and out, and it seems that my uncle's preparation is still very sufficient. Xiaoxue and I relied on the light in the sky, measured the distance with a tape measure, marked it with white ash, and it was completed in about an hour, but the light of the fireball became smaller and smaller. We retreated into the city and found that we had almost prepared the stakes and tar.
"Uncle, Xiaoxue and I have already measured, we can move on to the next step."
"Well, very well, I'll make you a little more light later, and then you will dig the ditch, and then pour tar into it, and put up a stake on it, and burn all the grass outside, and then you will leave nothing else. The search team came over with Qin Wu and me. "My uncle left with them with tools and old toast, leaving us to work here.
There was no way, we fought hard to survive, and for about two hours, hundreds of us went into battle together, men, women and children were sweating. But the trench was finally dug and the things were arranged. Now I can finally go in and take a break. At this time, Xiaoxue and Auntie had already prepared breakfast for us, and when I looked up, it turned out that the sky was beginning to brighten. Before you know it, the night has passed. We finished eating, but we didn't see my uncle and them come back. Is something wrong? It was almost noon, and my uncle and Qin Wu came back with the search team in disgrace. Why, are they stealing mines, they are like gophers.
"Xiaoyu, you're done, get me some water, I'm dying of thirst. Hurry up. "We hurriedly brought water and food over, and they seemed to be exhausted, as if they hadn't eaten for more than ten days.
"Uncle, anyway, there is still one day before the full moon, so you don't have to be in such a hurry to finish it overnight." My uncle dropped the steamed bun in his hand and knocked me on the head.
"You know, these mandrills used to choose the night of the full moon because they didn't have enough strength at that time, and they had to rely on the full moon to increase their strength. Now, after so many years of evolution, their strength has fully matured, and they may attack at any time. Come, I'll see how your project is ready. My uncle climbed up the wall, looked outside, and nodded with satisfaction.
"That's right, Xiaoyu, let's have a good rest now, take shifts in three shifts, and be ready for enemy sneak attacks at any time. We're going to have to go to sleep for a while, and let's all get some rest. "It seems that my uncle is also exhausted. We set up three groups of people and started to rest in shifts. Before I knew it, it was getting dark. I can't do it, Xiao Jian took people to the city wall to guard, and I also went down to rest. I don't know how long it took to come, but I was woken up by a sudden rush outside.
"Everyone hurry to the city wall to stand on guard, the women immediately go to the shelter, and the men hurry up." It was the voice of the uncle, and at this time I saw that he was already on the city wall and began to command. Three fireballs flew into the sky with a whirring hand in his hand, illuminating the sky as bright as day. I woke up Xiaoxue and told her to hurry to the shelter.
"Brother, you must not have anything, I have no relatives in the world, you must be well." Looking at Xiaoxue, I suddenly wanted to leave with her, but as a man, I had to go.
"Xiaoxue, you take Qiuqiu and hide, I'll be fine." Xiaoxue originally wanted to leave Qiuqiu to me, but seeing my resolute appearance, she still left with Qiuqiu. At this time, there were gunshots around the city wall, and I had to hurry to see what was going on. When I got to the city wall, I saw one monster after another appear in front of me, and I don't know how many there were, but after we cleared the weeds, these mandrills were completely exposed to our guns.
We have rifles, but there are not many of them, most of us can only shoot with bows and arrows, rifles can kill some mandrills, bows and arrows can only slow them down. These mandrills are very strange, and no howl comes out anyway, and I really don't know who found out about these mandrills in this dark night, when they don't make a sound. (Later, I learned that it was Xiao Jian who had been holding his sword and staring outside without blinking, so he found out about the mandrill attack at the first time, otherwise we might have been eaten by the mandrill in our sleep.) Everybody get closer and concentrate on shooting, and the group in the back, get Molotov cocktails ready, and when they get to the trench, they'll light them all for me. According to my uncle's orders, everyone stopped shooting and let the mandrills continue to approach us. When the mandrills reached the stake, my uncle let the bow and arrow shoot at the same time as the rifle, and the effect was so good that dozens of mandrills turned into sieves at once. But the remaining dozens of them continued to approach, and when they reached the inside of the trench, they were suddenly stuck by the viscous tar, and while they were doing so, a group behind them began to throw Molotov cocktails, and the Molotov cocktails fell into the tar, and the fire suddenly rose, four or five meters high. Dozens of mandrills were buried in the sea of fire in the blink of an eye. When the mandrills behind saw this sea of fire, they did not dare to move on.
At this time, my uncle suddenly took out a flare gun, and a red flare flew into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a burst of gunfire began to be heard outside. Here's what's going on. We are all familiar with the people outside, it is the search team led by Chen Chen, and Qin Wu, I said that why didn't I see them in such a tense situation just now, it turned out that I had been hiding outside to ambush the mandrills. The mandrill was killed a lot by this burst of random guns, and Qin Wu rushed into the formation again to show his might, and after a while, there were mountains of corpses piled up around him. The mandrill was completely blinded by us at this time. At this time, my uncle also led us out of the only place where there was no flame at the door. The mandrill was flanked by two of us, and there were countless casualties. This time, we finally crushed the mandrill.
Our group returned to the city in triumph, leaving behind the corpses of countless mandrills, but we also lost a lot of ourselves. However, I don't think my uncle's face is very good.
"Uncle, how is it. The mandrill has been beaten away. ”
"Although they have run away today, tomorrow is the night of the full moon, and they will definitely make a comeback. It would have been nice if everyone had been there. Alas. "Just as my uncle sighed, a long howl suddenly came from the cave where the blood ray was being held.
