If the yellow sand is affectionate, how can the green grass not find the warmth of the soil under its feet; If the wind is lovely, how can it produce an intoxicating mirage?

In the barracks across the desert, soldiers everywhere are collecting water from the sand pits.

The collected water is put into empty drinking bladders, and some puddles are let down for horses to drink.

Luoyang shovel has made a great achievement, whether there is water under the sand, Luoyang shovel plugged in.

Especially in shady places, the shady side of the sand ridge from east to west usually has the most water.

In addition, some literate small flags and other grass-roots officers, they will hold a booklet with pictures to read.

The booklet has pictures of plants, insects, and animals.

Whenever you encounter a certain plant, poisonous snakes, scorpions, and sandworms may appear around.

That means there is a source of water, otherwise those creatures would not survive.

is just such a booklet with pictures, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are all regarded as treasures, it is too powerful, and it has been verified all the way along the way, and it is all right.

"It's not consumed at all, it's replenished all the way along the way, and the water is always so abundant, who would dare to believe that this is in the desert."

The tent was set up, and a general came to tell him about the situation, and the water had been saturated from the time the team set out until now.

Sometimes it is known that there is an oasis, the guide said, everyone replenishes the water source, sometimes there is no oasis, the Luoyang shovel plays a role, and everyone finds the location of the water to dig.

The speed of the march of the key teams was not affected, and they were all operated during rest, and many sergeants washed their hand towels and put them on the sand to dry.

When you feel the next oasis, it's time for everyone to take a shower.

You can hear some soldiers humming songs and digging sand pits to collect water, and when there is more water, the singing becomes more and more cheerful.

This is on the march, the soldiers are so happy, does the morale need to be said?

"It's a mirage ahead, there's a big lake, God knows which lake it's refracted by, Xiaqiu Village said in the booklet."

The general came and said that there was a large lake. But it can't be, there is no lake in that location.

"How?" Xu Da was a little anxious when he heard this.

"I told them to go tomorrow, but tomorrow I promise that it will be gone, this is the method given by Xiaqiu Village, what is going on in their village?"

This general's level is obviously not enough, unlike Lan Yu, who is able to access more secrets.

But he always knew about some weapons and other aspects, and again and again they were all about the problems that might arise in the booklet written by Xiaqiu Village, and how to deal with them.

Any normal person, especially a general, will always be curious, and everyone will be afraid.

This is simply in the midst of strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, too crazy, and too speechless.

Along the march, I feel that Xiaqiu Village is everywhere, including the pickles I eat, which are produced by Jubiqi...... It's fragrant!

Every general wants to grasp the overall situation, but now he finds that not only can he not grasp it, but he doesn't even understand the situation of the other party, and the feeling of depression is too uncomfortable.

The other generals also looked at Xu Da, you know you just talk about it, you feel like you have become a pawn.

Xu Da pondered for a moment and nodded: "There is a very powerful master in Xiaqiu Village, and I estimate that the technology provided to the palace this year can be worth seventy or eighty percent of the Ming Dynasty's financial revenue."

This is the case that the mine is counted as the financial income of the Ming Dynasty, and the mine is also given by Xiaqiu Village, but it is not counted in the palace.

Before you come out, you should also know some information, how much business Xiaqiu Village has done, including what technology has been sent to the palace.

Those are all small things, the real power is the Daming Water Master, and the department store after we came out.

The suspension of the construction of the capital is the meaning of the masters, and the two droughts are what the masters say.

Ningguo Mansion and Taiping Mansion are moved according to the appearance of the Gao people in Xiaqiu Village, so I don't need to talk about ordnance, right?

This is Xiaqiu Village, his master does not show up, he does the same thing, jumps out of the Three Realms, and is not in the Five Elements! ”

Xu Da deliberately told some things in Xiaqiu Village, he had a good relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang and knew a lot about the inside story.

Now is the time to boost morale, and in two days we will be crossing the desert to Lingbei.

The generals don't have a score in their hearts, how can the war be fought? Anyway, he didn't know who the master was, so he said! Even blowing is no problem.

So in the evening, the generals gathered to hear the specific situation.

How do you sing that song? Oh! Got it!

The stars twinkled in the intoxicating night, and the desert resounded with bursts of military songs......

Not only the ten generals except Lan Yu, but also many of the officers below were also called over by Xu Da.

Four people eat a can, eat slowly, and pass it to whoever eats it.

He talked about Xiaqiu Village, starting from the rise of Xiaqiu Village, and told everyone how Xiaqiu Village got up.

It's not because people have technology, but because they're willing to bury themselves and contribute to the Ming Dynasty.

What did Xiaqiu Village do? How much technology do they have, but they don't use it themselves.

This proves the strength of Xiaqiu Village, they have provided us with a lot of things, and we will definitely win.

I don't believe it, look at the revolver-type flintlock pistol that was sent before, so our Majesty has too much money in the palace, and now he is trying to spend it.

If the loss is small this time, whoever is responsible for the side wins, and the next time you fight again, you will have such a weapon, and the meritorious service is only at the moment, and the feudal marquis is in front of you.

Come on! Come on, everyone! The premise is that it is not allowed to rush in, who dares to highlight the team to find fighters, take it directly, and do not have to wait to go back and clean it up.

Anyway, Xu Da made all kinds of fools and sold some secrets, just to win this one.

He actually knew that even if he lost, he could retreat, and there was no problem.

But how could he be willing to lose? How much has been given out of the rear? What kind of face do you have to face Your Majesty if you lose?

What he was more afraid of was Xiaqiu Village's inquiry, although until now, Xiaqiu Village had never interfered in the personnel issues of the court.

It seems that the village doesn't care who is in which position in the court, they fight and play by themselves.

But he is afraid that the more silent the person, once he speaks out, then things will not be simple.

How many things does Xiaqiu Village provide? Technology is given, resources are given, and even pickles are given, and you lose......

The generals, large and small, listened and once again understood the intention of the battle, which was to advance slowly and focus on defense.

That is, in the face of various wave battles of the enemy, do you have cavalry in your own team? Of course there is, no, I raise horses well.

If you come and I will defend with a flintlock pistol, and if you are out of range, I will chase you again, and after you chase some distance my cavalry will come back.

What? You're going to sneak attack? ! Aren't there scouts?

Night Raid? I carry the lamp and put it in front of the two armies, do you dare to rush?

Do you have the ability to shoot the lamp down for me? If you come to range, I'll hit you with a flintlock pistol.

This is normal warfare, just like boxing in sports, probing, protecting, attacking, probing, defending, attacking again, finding the opponent's rules, knocking down.

Then the arm length should give full play to the long-distance advantage, and the short arm should seek to break through the body.

The Ming army is not afraid of being close, but it has the advantage of arm length, come on! Are you fighting a sports war, or a positional war?
