Chapter 681: The Battle of Resistance (I)
Hu Meiniang, who escaped the catastrophe, although she gathered a large number of soldiers, but the arrival of the baggage camp, bad news followed, the other party actually robbed their grain and grass, this news, like a shocking nightmare, immediately froze Hu Meiniang's heart below zero point.
On September 21 of the first year of Tianyuan, the tail of midsummer had just ended, and it was just in time for the high and dry autumn weather, the sky was still shining, and there was an irritating heat wave steaming on the ground.
Hu Meiniang looked at Hu Cheng, the old housekeeper, she didn't know what to say, if she wanted to punish this person, he was the most conscientious person in the family, but this was related to the loss of the life of the whole army, so that the grain and grass that had no problem became the biggest problem in the whole army, he was the biggest sinner, if he was not punished, the reward and punishment were unknown, how to lead the troops to fight.
"Hu Cheng, are you guilty?"
"Miss, the old man is guilty. ”
"......" can't bear to deal with this conscientious old butler after all, but military law is ruthless. "If you lose the food and grass of the legion, you should be beheaded according to the law, but the commander's decree was probed by the enemy, and what you did was targeted, and you were specially punished with demotion and punishment. But the death penalty is free, and the living crime is unforgivable, come on!" With a loud shout, the pro-soldiers outside the temporary camp tent broke in like wolves and tigers, "Escort down, a hundred military sticks!"
"Miss Xie's grace not to kill!"
At this time, the old housekeeper did not forget to thank his young lady.
Hu Meiniang's heart was dripping blood, and the screams from outside the tent were like hitting her, she was the old housekeeper who watched her grow up, and the old housekeeper was to her, just like the biological father was to his beloved daughter, although the two were not father and daughter, but they were better than father and daughter.
This expedition, in order to help her reduce the pressure on her body, he volunteered, and Mao Sui recommended himself to follow him.
Syllable!
Yes!
Syllable!
Yes!
Syllable!
Yes!
...
Less than sixty sticks, obviously listening to the old housekeeper's voice quieter, Hu Meiniang couldn't help but worry, and involuntarily took out the little "divine water" that was seized before.
The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first. Now that there is no food, only this trick has put the six million army into a situation from which she will never recover, and her mood, as if the old housekeeper was being tortured at this time, feels the same way, and the inner torment can be imagined.
Although the troops have been ordered to take food on the spot. All kinds of wild beasts, wild vegetables, and wild fruits were spared, and above the ground, where the army passed, like locusts passing through, became desolate. However, it still cannot fill the huge gap in the shortage of food and grass for the army.
The morale of the army has been panicked, but the long-term war of the soldiers has made these soldiers know the important role of unity, and many people have begun to consciously save food.
Hu Meiniang had to send out the masters of the army to hunt beasts everywhere.
The soldiers who have never had a food panic, at this time, do not know where to take the materials, and the food they get back is limited to the beasts, wild fruits, and wild vegetables in the forest.
Tilting her head to look at the pot of beast broth on the desk in the tent, a wry smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of her mouth. At this time, the significance of leading the troops is far less significant than the significance of finding food. Although the personnel above the martial saint level in the army can be limited to the valley, but in this way, the combat effectiveness will drop sharply. In order to control the troops, many armaments and materials were in the hands of the baggage regiment, which was also a means of control that the family private soldiers had to implement.
Listening to the outside of the tent, she finally beat enough 100 sticks, Hu Meiniang hurriedly ran out of this tent, and her lightning-like figure arrived in front of the old butler in the blink of an eye.
"It's okay, I didn't faint. Hu Meiniang finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but the old housekeeper was in a very bad state, at this time, the skin was open and the flesh was blooming, and the breath was sluggish.
The executioner, after all, was merciful, Hu Meiniang could see it at a glance, turned around and glared at the person holding the torture stick, "There will be a next time, and you will be severely punished!"
personally carried the old butler into his tent, fed the old butler with the divine water in his hand, took his own broth, and fed him one bite at a time, like a filial daughter.
The old housekeeper who had drunk the divine water, but he felt that on his buttocks, the original numb and hot taste, unconsciously turned into a crisp itch, he tried his best to scratch, but Hu Meiniang's pair of Rouyi had already stretched out and grabbed his old hands.
"Don't move, I fed you divine water. ”
"Ahh
"Miss, the old body is entrusted by you. ”
"Don't talk about this, the other party's people are elusive, premeditated, we were just fooled. Hu Meiniang was busy with a smile and relieved the old housekeeper.
"Miss," the old housekeeper looked at this preoccupied "girl" and couldn't help but call softly, and Hu Meiniang, who was sad in her heart, heard this affectionate call, and a warm current flowed through her heart, looking at the old housekeeper, like when she was a child, she gently snuggled over.
"The old body has a countermeasure to solve this grain and grass crisis. ”
"Uh... Really?" Hu Meiniang got the help she wanted when she was a child, and immediately laughed happily, "I know that my father has a way." ”
"Shhh The old butler's expression was serious, in the hierarchical soldier clan, their identity and title, if outsiders knew about it, the old butler would definitely be sent down to the snake cave and suffer the punishment of ten thousand snakes.
"I know, I'm happy for a while, I'm not careful," Hu Meiniang's face finally showed a bright smile from her childhood, but at this time, she looked much better than when she was a child.
"At this time, the food shortage is easy to solve, I see, at present, the collection range of the grain search team you sent out is limited, so of course it can't solve the problem, please give me the map, cough cough." Hu Meiniang fed the broth a little anxiously, and the old housekeeper was a little out of breath, and after the beautiful lady hurriedly cleaned up, she finally paralyzed the map in front of the old housekeeper.
"Miss, we are currently here in the Forgotten Forest, and when we leave here, twenty kilometers away, there is our granary. When the old housekeeper pointed his finger at Mogan Lake, Hu Meiniang was a little messy, "This, this is a big lake, where is there food?"
"Miss, do you remember the fish soup I made for you when I was a child?"
"Father, you mean fish?"
"yes, ahem, why did you forget again?"
"Oh, I'll change, I'll change. ”
"By the way, I have one more thing to tell you, you kid. Although the old housekeeper couldn't get up, his tone was solemn, and Hu Meiniang came down, lying in front of the old man's head, waiting for the old man's command.
"The current food shortage can be solved, but our rationing system needs to be changed. ”
"How can this be changed?" Hu Meiniang's eyebrows couldn't help frowning. She knew that in order to effectively control the private soldiers, every time she went out on an expedition, she had to set up a baggage battalion in the legion, and this unit was a privileged unit in the barracks. Without this unit, private soldiers would be difficult to control.
"We have to change the distribution method of the family's private soldiers, everyone has a storage ring, we might as well distribute all the materials to individual soldiers when we go to war, so that we can reduce the pressure on logistics, not to mention, but also reduce some unnecessary losses, just like today's situation is not easy to happen, can reduce the risk of war, why not do it?"
"However, in this way, the troops are going to be in chaos. ”
"Silly girl, let me ask you, one person forces you to be loyal to him, and the other person replaces you with kindness and treats you as a relative, two people, who will you choose to be loyal to?"
"You mean, change the ...... of the family"
"Shhh, don't say these words, you think slowly, I think, as long as you have this idea, the next things will definitely be better, at this time, I can't help you in any way, these six million soldiers are heart-to-heart, the key is you. In the future, the family affairs should be focused on the overall situation, starting from the roots of our family, we are different from those old first-class families, emerging families, if we want to obtain the recognition of the old family, we must have the courage to reform the old and the new, otherwise, copy the old road, if you want to surpass in a short time, it is too difficult. ”
The two Rouyi involuntarily grasped the old butler's rough hand that had read all the vicissitudes of life, and the two hands were clenched tightly in this simple military camp. In the beautiful girl's sparkling and sparkling eyes, the previous tired look was clear, and a fiery longing came to her face......
Yesterday's night's rush made her a little tired. As a martial god powerhouse, his physical fitness is higher than that of ordinary people, but yesterday he experienced a nirvana situation, escaped by luck, and was brought such a shocking news by being defeated, and he has been in a state of high-speed movement, and he has to think about how to save it. The root cause of physical and mental exhaustion lies in not knowing where the road ahead is, which is caused by the blockage of the heart and pulses, not the cultivation of the body.
Now that he is full of energy, he immediately followed the advice of the old housekeeper to divide most of the people and horses from the grain search team and send them to Mogan Lake to catch big fish.
Because of the participation of the martial god and the strong man, the fishing of Mogan Lake, in this season, it is the season of fish fat and shrimp beauty, when the grain search team came here, the flying fish flew out of the water from time to time, so that they were ecstatic, the marshal said that there is grain here, let them come to take it, when it comes, because of the hurry, the tools they carry are limited, and when they really start fishing, the rich yield, even they are surprised.
This big lake has not been fished for many years, and the fish in the lake are simply overflowing, and it is much better to go down in a net than to chase those wild beasts in the forest.
The food of the soldier army is not daytime, and it is replaced by delicious fish and shrimp, but this situation makes the soldiers who are used to eating food a little uncomfortable, this meal or two is okay, but on the road march, because of the food, there are a lot of soldiers who are not accustomed to the water and soil.
Hu Meiniang automatically ignored this situation, which was easier than going hungry and traveling a long way.
Ding Qiang didn't know how the soldiers spent this difficult time after he cut off Hu Meiniang's rations, but he quickly slashed all the way and killed directly to the three military forts in the north like lightning.
As soon as he appeared, the Supreme Commander knew of his arrival and immediately went out to greet him.
Ding Qiang returned to the northern defense line, and they were very happy, because the results from the south made them tremble, thinking that the empire was going to abandon them, and everyone was in danger. Just when the people were panicking, Ding Qiang, the supreme commander, came again. The first performance of salvation won the respect of everyone, and at this time, the appearance of Ding Qiang is hope to be born again.
This is far better than the thousands of words that the regiment commander said to motivate morale.
From the generals of the highest rank of the legion to ordinary soldiers, everyone's original look of death and ashes finally came back to life at this moment. As a veteran of a hundred battles, although he has the consciousness of dying on the battlefield, when he knows that he is waiting for death, that kind of torment is not something that a normal person can bear psychologically. It is not easy to hold on to this point.
Ding Qiang, who had just arrived at the barracks, felt that he came by himself today, and the enthusiasm of these people was a little too much, and after a closer look, he suddenly realized, yes, he came at their most desperate time, no wonder these people behaved like this.
Since he had such a good beginning, he believed that in the next battle, he would definitely have a good performance, and a group of hopeful soldiers would be better than a group of lambs to the slaughter.
Comforting himself in this way, he led his head into the military fort.
"Pass the order, go out on guard, I'm going to strengthen the defense here. "The first thing Ding Qiang did when he took over the jurisdiction here was to strengthen the defense here.
Because, he knew that Hu Meiniang had a big killer weapon in his hand, and since he gave up the plan to behead this person and used the cultivation plan instead, he had to be fully prepared for the next war. Otherwise, Hu Meiniang is not a muddy doll, she still has six million soldiers in her hands.
In this blocking battle, he has been fully mentally prepared.
The original Great Zhou Tian Composite Array was changed to the power of the rules to rebuild, in this process, the "Tian Yuan Catalogue" once again gave him great help, although I don't know why this catalogue suddenly changed in the previous mortal game, but this amazing effect, he is still happy to see it.
In the process of reconstructing the Great Array for the second time, the passage was far larger than that of the Forgotten Forest, and the more problems were faced, although there were some problems in the process of achieving the Great Zhou Tian Composite Array, but after hard work, the problem of insufficient defense and poor stability was satisfactorily solved, and the reconstruction of the Great Array was successfully completed.
In the Forgotten Forest, he set up the small Zhou Tian compound array, compared to this big Zhou Tian compound array, it is much simpler, and it takes less effort, but in the process of reconstructing the big Zhou Tian compound array, the workload can be doubled by the previous geometric multiples, so that the requirements for the stability and accuracy of the formation are higher"Tian Yuan Catalogue", if it weren't for this treasure of the Ten Thousand Worlds, it would be difficult for him to reconstruct such a large array, because he had to accumulate that massive amount of rule power, and he would have to accumulate it for ten or eight years, otherwise, if he was sucked dry, he would not be able to make up the power of the rules necessary to form the big array.
By the time Ding Qiang completed the three military fort arrays, the time had already passed on the evening of September 22 of the first year of Tianyuan, and it actually took him a day and a night to complete such a large array.
At the moment when the great array was successful, the vision of heaven and earth actually appeared in the sky with a colorful light, which was the scene of the space-time tunnel wall in the space barrier.
The appearance of this scene frightened Ding Qiang.
Because, such an effect shows that the three military forts have completely jumped out of the time-space rules of this world at this moment, but because when they were built, they were constructed in this origin world, and his space-time laws are still the same as this world, and there will be no alternative phenomenon of one day of military forts and one year of the world.
It was a complete bonus.
When he built the big array, in addition to letting the legion go out to guard, he also made it clear that all the important checkpoints and maps of the northern defense line should be accurately placed for him, and the previous ambiguities should be corrected in place. Because, next, he has to rely on this to have a good fight with Hu Meiniang of the soldier clan.
Yang Jian was very happy when he arrived, and when the argument of death that had been circulating among the legions had died out automatically, he received the greatest support in the dispatch of troops. Everyone is fighting for the first place and competing for the task.
As soon as the situation changed, everyone's previous negative state of mind spread like a plague in the legion, and the lethality brought was amazing, and now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in person, and this good situation opened up, so that the terrible emotions of the plague spread were suddenly melted away like a severe cold meeting a scorching heat.
This even made Ding Qiang miss the link of pre-war mobilization, and everyone's morale is now bursting, especially when they heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back to the northern defense line and is ready to beat the water dogs, their morale is even higher.
