1. The Weapons Crisis
"Senior Gongxi, when will you give the order to march? The big guy can't wait to go into battle and make meritorious contributions. "The third time the wind has entered the tent and asked for battle.
"We have encountered a problem," Gongxi Zimin frowned, "there is a lack of weapons, and it is difficult to move forward for a while. ”
"There is such a serious shortage of weapons?" Yu Feng didn't think about this question at all.
"Yes, we suffered heavy losses in the fight against Muling Pass, but fortunately, we have incorporated a lot of Jiang Qi's old clans to supplement the lack of troops. However, the remaining weapons and equipment, together with the captured ones, can only be used by less than half of the people, so if we don't wait for Linzi, I'm afraid we will have to fight with our bare hands. ”
"That'...... So what should I do? I can't just find someone to build it on the fly, right?"
"Of course, there is no such time, according to the law of general warfare, large countries like Qi, Chu, and Qin will reserve a considerable amount of weapons for backup, and at the same time return the broken weapons to the furnace for refining, while smaller countries will rely on weapons captured after the battle to replenish them. The number of weapons we have captured now is far less than the amount consumed. ”
"Doesn't it mean that Qi will have a lot of weapons reserves? There are so many Qi people who have surrendered to Chengcheng......
"But they are basically Jiang Qi's former ministers who are not trusted, so the Tian family only provided them with a weapon. ”
"The soldiers are still engaged in infighting, and the Tian family is really trying to kill himself. ”
"They also took into account the fact that these old ministers might defect, and they should also know that there was a lack of spare weapons in Fu Yang's army. ”
"How can they know so well? I'm sure many people, including me, don't know about the shortage of weapons. ”
"This is easy to explain, in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Fuyang Alliance, there are no large-scale copper and iron mines and mines, and naturally there will be no large number of weapons, which is obvious. ”
"Mine, mine?"
"Yes, you don't know yet, a mine can sometimes determine the strength of a country's national strength, and even affect its development, Chu State is an example, it was originally a small barbarian country in the south, and the Central Plains countries have not looked at it squarely, until fifty years ago, Chu State annexed its northeast Sui State, and the national strength has undergone earth-shaking changes. And the root cause of this change is the seizure of the Tonglu Mountain in Suiguo, which is the world's largest mine and the world's largest copper mining field, and this mine can mine nearly one million catties of copper every year! The land of Zitong, which Chu and Qin repeatedly contend, is also one of the best copper mines, and Chu also has iron mines such as Jingshan Mountain and Dongting Mountain, and the weapons forged every year are innumerable, so Chu gradually became a great power that can compete with the Central Plains, and neither Qin nor Jin and Qi have the strength to defeat it. On the side, Mr. Huangfu made a supplementary explanation.
"A mine can decide the fate of the country, the state of Chu prospered because of the mine, and the country died because of the mine......"
"Now is not the time to discuss the mine...... it was Beigong Yuheng's voice that came, and I saw her striding into the camp tent, "Major military situation, the Jimo soldiers, one of the five capital soldiers, are on the way to Linzi, and there are still one hundred and fifty miles away from us." ”
"This is a good opportunity, there are no guns, no artillery, the enemy has made us. "Yufeng remembered the song of the anti-Japanese guerrillas.
"What do you mean by the enemy making us?" Baili Yaoguang and Gongxi Zimin know what guerrilla songs they are.
"That is to say, go halfway to intercept the Jimo soldiers and seize their weapons. "
"With our current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to directly confront them, and that may even cause greater weapon consumption and soldier losses, have you thought about it?"
"I know, but this is definitely an opportunity, and we should think about how we can get the most out of the loss in exchange for the most capture, there will be a way. "
"Okay, you have one day to come up with a good idea. "
......
Far away, you can hear bursts of cheers and cheers from outside the tent, it turns out that the girls are trying something.
"The current results are: Xiaoxue won two, Menglin won one, Yumi won one, and Xinyan won one. "It looks like Kaori is acting as a referee.
"What's going on?"
"It's not fun, we're doing a difficult psychic power control training. ”
"So much fun training?"
"Of course, this is called playing, you boys always use brute force, you don't know how to control the power carefully, gather strength, for example...... Can you use a spell to pierce the plank in front of you?" Kaori gestured to the wooden target in front of her.
"What's so hard about that? Look at me. ”
"Wait, I haven't finished the rules yet, but I can't do any other damage, and the hole should be as small as possible. ”
It's really not easy to do, and the wind is secretly lucky, and gathers the divine power on the little finger. Go! The wind suddenly exerted force, and nothing happened...... Go, go! After several times, he did not have the energy he imagined, and finally he went straight to the target with all his strength, but the direction was slightly off, and after cutting off half of the target, he shattered a large stone behind him.
"Oh......" The girls collectively coaxed.
"Do you really think you know how to wield the Six-Vein Divine Sword? That's a super advanced technique. Kaori laughed.
"I'll do it again, I didn't get the hang of it just now, but this time I'm sure I'll succeed. ”
Yu Feng tried four times, and the best result was that the target was left with a hole the size of a bowl, and the hole was full of cracks, and I was afraid that it would fall apart if I touched it.
"It didn't break this time. ”
"That's luck, you take a look at these four targets and look for the gap. Kaori brought out the props she had used in the competition.
There are very small holes in all three targets, but there is no trace of penetration on the other target.
"There's nothing on this target. ”
"That's where Xiaoxue is so powerful, she used her supernatural hair to penetrate the target, and we only proved the hole through the water permeability test. ”
It turned out that Xiaoxue did it, and she was able to do it with her hair, "Okay, okay, I admit defeat." ”
"Oh......" There was another round of heckling.
"Then let's move on to the game, this is the last event, if Xiaoxue wins again, she will be the champion, so the other three have to catch up, and if anyone can catch up with 2-2, they can enter the play-off. The title of this game is ......" Kaori deliberately dragged a long note, "cut off the petiole on the top of the ant's head!"
"Huh?"
"What does that mean?" the girls were puzzled.
"I also just thought about this competition, and it's guaranteed to be both difficult and interesting, so look here. Kaori pointed to a poplar forest not far away, where several large poplar leaves had fallen, and a few teams of ants were slowly moving the leaves, which seemed to be moving slowly on their own. "Poplar leaves have thick petioles, and we compare them to cutting off the petioles without frightening the ants, so that the ants can go home with only the leaves!"
"This ...... It's too hard, isn't it?"
"Leaves move. ”
"That's nothing, what kind of psychic technique can be used to suddenly cut off the petioles, and how can it not affect the ants in front?"
The girls began to talk about it.
"This time I'll come first. Xinyan was the first to jump out, she transmitted the spiritual power of Xunfeng's attribute to a piece of paper, and with a "hi" sound, the piece of paper quickly cut off the petioles, but the entire leaf also opened up, and the ants scattered in all directions.
"Oops, failed......"
Meng Lin watched Xinyan's movements carefully on the side, thoughtfully, "I'll come, I'll come, I know what to do." ”
She transformed her crossbow into a small bow, or a miniature bow, the size of a child's toy, and she aimed it high in the sky instead of a leaf, and the arrow was not an ordinary feathered arrow, but a piece of iron. In a few moments, the iron sheet turned red from the force of the fire, and in a few seconds it would probably soften.
With a "whoosh" arrow, the iron piece flew out of a high arc off the string, and then smashed almost straight up and down to the end of the leaf, cutting off the petiole in an instant, and the leaf was not brought up, but the high temperature of the iron sheet made the ants feel a huge threat, and they abandoned the leaf and fled.
"Oh, just a little bit. Monlin scratched her head.
Next, Xiaoxue's method did not work, and her method was the opposite of Meng Lin's, trying to use extremely thin ice chips to suddenly cut off the petiole from the bottom up, but it was still noticed by the sensitive ants.
In the end, only Yumi is left, what will she do?
