Chapter 244: On the Eve of War

"Hey! It's really a god, at such a long distance, one shot can kill a sparrow, which is much more accurate than our bows and arrows! ”

"Go and pick up the sparrow, and see if it's dead!"

The Miao people watching the play were all amazed, and a soldier ran over excitedly with a sparrow in his hand and shouted:

"Look, half of the sparrow's body is shattered!"

"If this hits a person, no matter how thick the rattan armor is, it probably won't work, right?" Someone asked.

Yan Yunting said with a smile: "I just found a stone everywhere, if you replace it with steel balls, let alone the copper armor you are wearing, even the bronze armor can be directly pierced!" ”

Ba Jia wiped the tears choking from the corners of his eyes, handed the fire gun back to Yan Yunting, and complained: "Yan Shaoxia, this fire gun is very powerful, but the smoke coming out is too choking, right?" I almost didn't get out of my breath. ”

Yan Yunting smiled and patted Ba Jia's shoulder, "After all, the materials and time are limited, and the gun is a little rougher, but the effect is still there, just pay attention when you fight;

Well, you go and call the blacksmith and get fifty more identical barrels, each with fifty bullets, remember, the caliber of the bullets should be the same as the barrel...... Go ahead. ”

"Okay!"

The soldiers continued to boil dung for nitrate, stockpiling explosives for making explosives.

Yan Yunting put his hands behind his back, going back and forth in front of several cauldrons to command, looking like a swaggering master.

"Don't be lazy, keep stirring, if the impurities are not boiled dry, how can you get pure saltpeter? If you can't get pure saltpeter, how can you make powerful gunpowder, without powerful gunpowder, how can you win Tahezhai, how can you unify Miaojiang if you can't win Tahezhaiβ€”β€”"

"If we can't unify Miao Jiang, you don't want to get the Golden Toad." Chachai walked over with his nose covered.

"General Chachai, you came just in time, did you hear the explosion just now?" Yan Yunting smiled and invited Chachai to go to the shantyhouse.

Chachai looked indifferent on the surface, but there was satisfaction in his eyes, but he said: "I admit that you Han people's explosives are indeed very powerful, but the terrain of Miaojiang is steep, and if there is no tactical cooperation, it is not so easy to win the battle." ”

"Wasn't I waiting for you to come and discuss tactics with me?" Yan Yunting spread out the map of Miaojiang and said: "You see, I have circled all the dangerous passes near Jiuli Village, especially the three places of 'Qingxi Bay', 'Black Bear Gully', and 'Wild Boar Forest', Qingxi Bay is surrounded by mountains on the left and right, which is very suitable for ambushes, just like you caught me the day before yesterday, with the advantage of the condescending mountain, it is easy to annihilate the enemy;

The Black Bear Gully is a stone forest, and the Wild Boar Forest is a forest, both of which are easy places to hide, and it is perfect to use my fire gun to ambush them. ”

After listening to this analysis, Chachai's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, but he said: "There is no point in just talking about the army on paper, these three places are indeed dangerous between Jiuli Village and Tahe Village, but the actual terrain is complex, and the enemy's movements are unknown, and it is not easy to really use troops." ”

Yan Yunting smiled: "If the war is really that simple, then why do you need generals?" I'm only responsible for building an army for you, and as for how to use it and where to use it, I have to see and guess you. ”

Chachai picked up the pen on the table and erased all the black bear ditch and wild boar forest on the map, "These two places are halfway up the mountain, and if Tahe Village wants to attack Jiuli Village, it must turn over the mountainside, not only does it cost foot strength, but it is also easy to be exposed, so they will never go here; ”

Then he pointed at Qingxi Bay with a pen and said: "Recently, Tahe Village has been expanding to Qingxi Bay, as long as you cross Qingxi Bay, it is a flat avenue, and you can reach Jiuli Village after traveling only twenty miles, if they want to attack, they must be from here." ”

"Judging from the fact that you arrested me the day before yesterday, you should have stationed troops here, right?" Yan Yunting asked.

Chachai shook his head and said: "There are only three hundred crossbowmen, the fog in Miaojiang is very heavy every day, and the soldiers cannot be stationed for a long time, and besides, the rattan armor soldiers of Jiuli Village are suitable for land warfare, and Tahe Village has perennial fishing and hunting, and has very rich experience in water warfare. ”

Yan Yunting pursed his lips, "It's a problem that the mountain fog is too heavy, and the gunpowder is easy to get wet...... Therefore, we need accurate intelligence to predict the military movements of Tahezhai in advance, and ambush in Qingxi Bay a day in advance. ”

Chachai still shook his head: "All the Miao people in the area of Qingxi Bay have been killed, and once our scouts go out, they will be discovered by the people of Huita River Village." ”

"Then wait a minute."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Of course I'm waiting for information," Yan Yunting walked out of the shantytown, looked in the direction of Tahe Village, and muttered, "It stands to reason that he should be back soon......"

"The monk?" Chachai asked.

"What? He's already back? Yan Yunting asked.

"Isn't that him?" Chachai raised his finger ahead - on the bluestone road up the mountain, a monk in a gray robe strolled over, and saw that he was still at the foot of the mountain, and then that he was already on the mountainside.

Cha guessed that he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Wujie had already walked up to him, and he couldn't help but be shocked: "What a powerful body, I didn't feel the breath of this master at all." ”

Yan Yunting said with a smile: "With such a body, why worry about not being able to detect intelligence?" ”

Wujie has not seen anyone in the past two days, and he was arranged to explore the movement of Tahe Village.

"Tahezhai is gathering heavy troops, about forty or fifty thousand people, and it will be no more than two days at most to march towards Jiuli Village." Wujie said lightly.

"Forty or fifty thousand!" Chachai was shocked: "But you saw it with your own eyes? ”

Wujie said: "The monks don't speak. ”

Chachai questioned: "Impossible, even if all the middle-aged people in Tahe Village come, it will not be enough for forty or fifty thousand!" Could it be that the other stockades are also coming? ”

Wujie said: "It depends on the situation, yes, the Miao people come from all over the world and meet in front of Tahe Village. ”

"Why!" Chachai shouted angrily: "How can the people of other villages be in the same stream as Tahe Village!" And it's still going to attack Jiuli Village! ”

Wujie said: "Because a Han man killed the three masters of Tahe Village, and it happened that Jiuli Village took in this Han person." ”

Obviously, this Han man is Yan Yunting.

"I knew you were going to bring great disaster to our stockade!" Chachai pointed to Yan Yunting's nose and said.

Yan Yunting looked fearless and shrugged his shoulders: "Even if you hand me over now, they won't give up attacking Jiuli Village." Fornicating with the Han people is just an excuse for them to attack Jiuli Village, you don't understand, right? ”

"But the total strength of large and small villages, not to mention 100,000, there are 80,000, and my Jiuli Village only has 20,000 troops! How can you fight them! Chachai gritted his teeth:

"What's more, now that the saint is not in good health, the people in Jiuli Village are panicking, how can this battle be won!?"
