Chapter 63: Questions to ponder
Unwilling to be defeated because of their face and actual situation, the indigenous coalition finally regained their momentum and launched an attack on Xin'an Town again after a day of gathering - most of the routs returned spontaneously.
And this is exactly what Ping Zhenqi wants, but what makes Zhang Gui and others strange is that Ping Zhenqi, who advocates pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, did not stop the use of the bed crossbow, but insisted on using the bed crossbow as the first round of strikes when the steady Li Zhuang felt that the bed crossbow was not necessary.
"Tun Chief... This?" Zhang Gui held back for a long time, couldn't hold it back, and asked puzzledly.
"You want to say that since the natives are so scummy and the bed crossbow is so good, continuing to use the bed crossbow will scare the natives away?" said Ping Zhenqi calmly.
"Uh... Yes!" Zhang Gui didn't understand it anymore, since he knew it, why did he still ...
"Do you really think that the combat effectiveness of the indigenous coalition is as weak as that? They just haven't seen the bed crossbow before, and they are just scared by the bed crossbow, this is a special case, but it can't be repeated!" Speaking of this, Ping Zhenqi felt a faint pain in his heart, and he was still regretting that he had missed the opportunity.
Sure enough, this time the natives were obedient, and the formation was much more dispersed, and after the bed crossbow was issued, they only shouted a few times in fear, and the pace of progress only stopped slightly, and did not stop because of this, and the warriors still screamed—to cheer for themselves—and rushed forward waving the swords, spears, and clubs in their hands, and this time the bed crossbow was far less successful than the first time.
When the natives came into range of the solo crossbows, a second round of blows from the town of Xin'an arrived, and all the shooters were ordered to aim and shoot.
At this time, the natives are finally no longer just passively beaten, although their bows and arrows are not as advanced as the Huaxia army, but the strength of the people, those ancient Chinese bows are just the starting standards of people, the tiger bow is the standard, the strength of individual Hercules is even with the waist crossbow, a fight, and people have been playing this thing since childhood, there is no need for training at all, almost everyone is a shooter, so the accuracy is not bad.
But having said that, the backward productivity still seriously dragged down the performance of this group of 'hunters', and the effective range of the Huaxia Army could only be regarded as within the range for them, and the accuracy could only depend on luck.
In addition, the personal qualities of the Huaxia Army are not the same as those of their counterparts on the earth, and the condescending Huaxia Army has a clear advantage in the process of firing at each other.
Despite this, there were still unlucky unlucky people on the side of the Huaxia Army who bumped into an arrow flying from nowhere, and gloriously became the first victim of the Huaxia Army, but by no means the last.
With the passage of time, the numerical advantage of the indigenous coalition army will become more and more obvious, the accuracy of the arrow is significantly improved because of the number of compensation, and the casualties on the side of the corresponding Huaxia army will also increase, and so on the two sides of the end of the shooting, the Huaxia army has a total of three killed and ten wounded, if it were not for the limited reserves of the indigenous coalition army, and the poor arrows, only this time, the Huaxia army would not be able to bear it.
......
A few days later, Li Kang finally noticed the change in the numbers on the control panel, and the number of people in the territory had dropped, which was very unusual, meaning that many people died at the same time, so it could not have been a natural death.
After thinking about it in his brain for a while, Li Kang thought of the following possibilities:
1. Caused by sudden illness and is likely to be contagious.
2. These people go out in groups and are attacked by wild beasts or wild men, or poisoned at the same time.
3. Caused by war.
Well, the second one could also be ruled out directly, because just now, the number of lords on the control panel changed again, and two more died.
Li Kang smashed his fist on the mountain wall irritably, his face was cloudy, and the remaining two possibilities were not small, and he didn't know how to judge.
If it's a war, then it's not said, go directly to Xin'an Town to recruit soldiers, but if it's a disease, then it will add fuel to the fire to the people in Xin'an Town.
"My lord... Did something happen?" Li Kang suddenly became nervous, and really frightened the people around him, although Zhou Bi didn't want to touch Li Kang's brows, but there was no way, this was his biggest official, and he still had to ask.
Li Kang couldn't think of a clue for a while anyway, and he could just listen to the opinions of the audience, so he told all his discoveries and speculations in 1510, and finally asked: "If you have any ideas, you might as well talk about them!"
Silent!
The people present are all martial artists, and you can count on them to have any good ideas. Even if he listened to a class by Li Kang's side for a few months, it was impossible to immediately change his attributes and turn his force value into brain power.
Who is the most depressed? It must be Zhou Bi. If it's a disease, it's fine, but if it's really a war in Xin'an Town, hehe... That's really hard to say.
At the beginning, in order to brush up on his presence in front of Li Kang, Zhou Bi took the initiative to invite Ying to come with him, thinking that he might miss an opportunity to brush up on military exploits, but somehow, he always had a faint sadness lingering in his heart.
Just when Li Kang was disappointed, snowflakes drifted in the sky again, and the cold snowflakes fell on the warm skin, making people unconsciously shrink their pores and calm their minds.
Looking at the white snowflakes, Li Kang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and then he turned firm, and no longer hesitated to give the order to summon the army, summoning location: Xin'an Town.
Yes, he ended up leaning towards the possibility of war, for no other reason, because it was winter, and winter was not a season for conquest, but it was not a season for the spread of germs, and that was enough.
Now that he has made a decision, Li Kang will not regret it.
Bidding farewell to this annoyance for the time being, Li Kang's gaze turned back to the Fuxi camp.
A total of 211 feet of walls at the north and south ends (158 feet in the south and 53 feet in the north, including one gate tower in the north and south) have been completed, so that the entire Fuxi camp is surrounded by two sections of the north and south walls in a narrow area about four kilometers long and only one mile wide at its widest point.
In addition, Li Kang's proposed "fortress defense circle" system, the construction of a period of time, the earliest mountain arrow tower has been completed, now mainly building a fortress on the other side of the river, every one mile, plus the head and tail, a total of nine, and after they are completed, finally it will be the turn of the fortress outside the north and south ends.
And the gap between these forts is the farmland that Li Kang has demarcated for the people of Fuxi, and it is now being arranged to be reclaimed. Li Kang did not transfer people from the Agricultural Department over, but this time he finally summoned Zhao Guo and appointed him as the director of the Fuxi camp.
Of course, future expansion and replanning are all for the future. At present, the Fuxi camp is still dominated by gold panning, and the Fuxi camp has a population of 378 for the time being, and there are less than 50 people participating in the gold panning, mainly because Li Kang's own recycling efficiency cannot keep up, and it doesn't matter if he adds people or not.
However, Li Kang no longer planned to participate in the gold panning work himself, and decided to use the traditional screening method, which seemed to be a waste of time than Li Kang's direct recycling, but the scale of gold mining must be expanded, and Li Kang had to do so. When the number of gold diggers increases, the daily income of gold will inevitably increase, and Li Kang only needs to recycle the gold they have finally mined - the smelted gold nuggets - the whole thing, saving time and effort, well, for Li Kang himself, and besides, this is also an increase in jobs, isn't it?
However, there is one thing that Li Kang has to consider, that is, when the surface of the Jinhe River in this section of the Fuxi camp has been almost mined, should he move to other sections of the river, such as the upstream area discovered by the Coordination and Coordination Department at the beginning, or should he continue to stay here, remove the silt from the bottom of the river, and directly mine the gold ore on the riverbed? Or should he directly find the source of Jinsha, the gold mountain that must exist?
This is a question worth pondering.
