Chapter 36 Where there is a spear, there is a shield

Hura had seen the dragon before, and waved him in.

"Dragon, meet the two leaders." After the ceremony, Hu Lazhen asked in wonder, "Why did you come here, Chilong, did your father send you here?" ”

Chi Long looked in the direction of Hongcheng hatefully, shook his head, and said no. explained, this time I came here to ask for help, and everyone joined forces to resist Hongshan.

Then he didn't hide it, and told him about the last time he led 5,000 reinforcements to support the Flying Dragon Tribe in the Delhi Canyon, but was captured by Hongshan Design.

Chi Long told them about his discovery in Hongcheng again, because only by making them tempted could it be possible to deal with Hongshan with all their strength.

Hearing Chi Long talk about these experiences, Zadsi and Hula really smiled, and they were really surprised. They were also about to send someone to find Chiyou to get a good understanding of the situation in Hongshan, and here his son came, and he knew better.

So he asked the soldiers to bring food and water, and let the dragon rest first to replenish his strength.

After eating and drinking, the dragon asked Zadsi and Hulajan to take him around the camp. Zadsi understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and nodded approvingly.

Then the three of them walked around the camp, and Zade introduced the number of troops and the arrangement of materials to Chi Long to the west.

After reading it, Chi Long first talked about the size of the camp, which was too large and not tightly arranged. Now the two tribes here, with a total strength of more than 6,000 people, don't need to be so big. When Zadsi and Hulajan had listened, they looked at the camp and wondered what it meant.

Then Chi Long described to the two of them how Hong Shan had arranged cavalry before, violently ripped open the camp gate with his hook and claws, and demolished the camp. Several more cavalry detachments were sent into the camp to cross successive attacks in stages. After crushing the entire team and fleeing in all directions, the net began to be closed.

Hearing this, Zadsi and Hulazhen felt a chill in their backs, if the dragon did not come, it is estimated that they will soon become one of the captives in Hongcheng.

Zadsi asked fearfully, "Then how can we prevent this camp?" ”

"First of all, the area of the camp will be reduced, and several places here and there will be removed, and the places where the soldiers live will be smaller." The dragon pointed to the place to be changed.

And then he continued: "Also, the main thing. Immediately arrange a few groups of soldiers to go to the vicinity to cut down more long thick branches or small trees, more than two meters in length is preferred. ”

The dragon gestured with both hands: "Sharpen their fronts, circle them around the camp, stick them tightly diagonally in the earth, and wrap them with bark ropes between them." This is to prevent the cavalry of Hongshan from rushing to the camp, and it was enough to insert three layers in the past. Now the number of cavalry in Hongshan seems to have increased a lot, so let's insert enough five layers to be safe. ”

When Zadsi and Hulajan heard this, they were very approving. Because they are also thinking about how to deal with cavalry and what methods to use.

Shaking the wooden fences in the camp, Chi Long looked at the two with a wry smile: "It's too loose, no, it has to be reinforced." Then between the wooden fences of the camp, wrap and bundle them with bark ropes a few more times. If the five tribes can't pull it out, they can be considered qualified. Hearing this, Zadsi and Hulajan's faces were overjoyed, and at least their chances of survival had increased.

The dragon continued to demonstrate, picking up a small sharpened tree pole, about two and a half meters long. After holding it in his hand a few times, he looked at Zadsi and Hulajan with a smile.

Their eyes lit up, and Hulajan came over and picked up one and gestured at it. "Hahaha, that's a good length. With that shield, make a batch of big and small ones, which is good. ”

Zadsi looked happy: "Pro-soldiers, send orders to the whole army, quickly create these two items, and make sure that everyone has a set." ”

happily patted the dragon on the shoulder, "The dragon is fortunate to have you, and it has solved our big trouble." ”

"The leader is polite, we are the Alliance Army, these are as they should be." Chi Long said modestly, because he knew that there were still many places to use them in the future. It will take time for the Jiuli tribe to rise again, so let these tribes in the north take the lead.

The dragon also came up with a way to deal with the cavalry, or to prevent a sneak attack at night, which he had recently figured out.

I saw him casually pick up four small branches from the ground, about the length of his forearm. A three-dimensional cross was made, and after being tightly wound with bark rope, the head of each branch was sharpened. After making a few, throw it on the ground.

Lift one more foot and step cautiously over it. And he saw one of the branches sharpened, and touched the flesh of his feet. If you don't see it stepped on hard, you will be punctured.

Zadshi laughed: "They all say that I am a grassland fox, and I think you are a dragon." This thing is really wonderful and practical. ”

Hulajan was also overjoyed, adding: "Yes, this thing can be made in large quantities, the raw materials are everywhere, and it is easy to make. Scattered around our camp, do the cavalry of Hongshan dare to come at will? ”

The three of them were now full of confidence, and circled around the camp again to see where there could be any modifications. Then he returned to the camp satisfied, sat down and continued to chat.

Chi Long said that one of the characteristics of the Hongshan army is that it attaches great importance to the collection of battlefield intelligence, and there is a cavalry called the reconnaissance company to collect information. He explained to Zadsi and Hulajan that the tribe was called spies.

Moreover, this cavalry can not only reconnoiter intelligence and listen to news, but also have the ability to carry out decapitation operations as needed.

Seeing that Zadsi and Hulazhen didn't understand the meaning, Chi Long said in layman's terms: "What do you think will happen if there are only ordinary soldiers in an army, and there are no leaders, leaders, and small leaders?" ”

"Shhhh Touching the neck: "Did they take advantage of the night to touch the camp?" ”

"They are very good at shooting from a distance with a bow and arrow, and they will find the target and mark it in advance. Depending on the number of targets, arranging for each person to deal with one, or one person to deal with several, is generally a distant action, not limited to day or night. If it doesn't succeed this time, the next time you are on the battlefield, you will continue to focus on shooting. ”

Zadsi and Hulajan are very concerned about this issue, how can they be prepared?

"These scouts will make a combination of things based on what they wear and how they behave. The average soldier of the tribe wears ordinary clothes. And the tribal leader and above will be protected by hard leather armor. So you can wear it inside and don't show it. Also, keep a low profile in public and don't be conspicuous, and don't go anywhere with a circle of people around you. According to his own judgment, the dragon analyzed.

Hey, this kid is a fucking genius. After coming here, many of the things that Chi Long said were summed up after he had thought hard and analyzed the reasons for the defeat during this time. The ideas put forward are also practical and targeted.

Dragon: "Also, the storage point in the camp is also something they like to destroy. This must be focused on prevention, and it needs to be kept secret and fireproof. ”

The three of them gathered around the bonfire, analyzing and solving several problems of the army one by one.

Hulajan, as the leader of the alliance army of the northern tribes, did not rush to attack in the past two days, and paid close attention to the construction of the army and the stability of the camp.

At the same time, he listened to Chi Long's suggestion, and also learned from Hongshan's practice, specially selected suitable soldiers, formed a spy company, and simply handed over Chi Long to be responsible. Therefore, at this time, Chilong was also taking a company of spies to collect intelligence on Hongcheng.

Hulajan also sent several waves of men to contact other reinforcements to urge the march and rush over as soon as possible. And informed them of these precautions and ideas that Chilong said one by one.

Hongcheng was not idle here, and all the staff of the craftsman's workshop worked overtime overnight, and after modifying the specifications of the fierce fire oil eggs, a large number of them were produced. A small, a large, and extra-large with additional traits were all sent to the Catapult.

This time, a gelatinous substance is added to the fierce fire oil egg, which is sticky and can be burned with the object all the time, and it is difficult to fall off.

This is a plant found in the mountains before Hongshan, and it has similar characteristics to the rubber tree. It's just that the effect is worse, but the effect is enough. So, in a training for artisans' workshops, they were taught. So, the masters added it on a whim.

The stones provided by the Ministry of Construction were also arranged.

Today, to the south of Hongcheng, it is far from the camp of the Northern Horde Confederate Army. The city defense army had already imposed martial law here, and then four catapults lined up and were pushed into the clearing.

This time, we will experiment with the improved Fierce Fire Oil Egg to see the limit distance and power. I saw a small wooden frame shed at four different distances, 500 meters away, 600 meters away, 700 meters away, and 800 meters away.

"Ready, put." With the order of the head of the catapult unit, Dashan, the catapult corresponding to different distances made a hula and threw the fierce fire oil egg into the distance.

"Smack, whew." The four fierce fire oil eggs are all deviated, some are about three meters apart, and the deviation is the largest eight hundred meters away, after all, the distance is so far.

According to the error, the master of the craftsman's workshop directly adjusted the lookout mountain on the catapult on the site or corrected it left and right. In the second experiment, it was obviously much more accurate.

Wangshan should have been a product of the Warring States period later. It was used for the aiming of bows and crossbows, and it was now taught to the craftsman's workshop by Hongshan and was taken out and used in advance.

After many rounds of testing, the hit rate can reach 80 percent, and the distance of error is only about one meter. After several experiments, the wooden shed had already burned down.

Everyone is very satisfied with the results of the small-sized fierce fire oil eggs. Naturally, someone keeps a few pieces of data.

So hurry up and continue to test the large-spec ones.

And after the big one plays, the power is obviously much greater. Small fierce fire oil is mainly used against people or small targets. After the big one was thrown over, the two newly built sheds were burned down. Seeing this result was a big surprise to everyone on the scene.

This means that Hongcheng's defense is stronger. Soldiers who go to the battlefield can reduce more casualties.
