Chapter 4 Strategy
The earth trembled at the barbarian's feet, and the roaring and roaring cries shook the fragile eardrums of mortals.
The rider covered his buzzing ears and looked at the rushing barbarians, and his face was crawled with astonishment in an instant.
The next moment, the rider quickly pounced forward and grabbed the hilt of the short knife lying on the ground.
He stood up and screamed loudly.
The originally hoarse and thick voice was like the helpless choking of a young beast in the footsteps that shook the ground.
Three thousand barbarians broke through the makeshift barracks, and there were one thousand and one prisoners.
The blade covered with runes was slapped by the chief who rushed to the front when it had just bloomed like fire in the hands of the rider.
The infantry who followed the cavalry general, without preparation, and many of them were still sleeping soundly on the mats in the tents, were no match for the barbarians.
However, none of the captives fled.
They were all knocked down in the revolt, and the barbarians, driven by the barbarians, left the tent and gathered together.
Ignoring the ragged, disheveled, unkempt captives of the gathered captives.
The barbarians who stormed the camp collected their booty in the barracks without discipline.
The clothes were torn into linen, and the little old grain was collected.
The only piece of clear armor in the cavalry team was torn into countless pieces by the Chieftain with brute force.
The Chief laughed and ripped open his breastplate, placing two pieces of polished silver armor on his shoulder, and taping the torn back armor to his left chest.
The Captain smiled and turned around, trying to show off to his two companions who were tearing apart the rest of the armor behind him, but the armor on his chest fell to his toes with the shaking of his body.
The next moment, the Chi Chief hugged the smashed foot and screamed "Wow Wow".
The cry caused the two companions to laugh cheerfully, and the Chieftain, who was holding his feet, glared, and then forgot the pain in the laughter of his companions, and threw himself at the two companions with a scream.
The three scuffled together.
Liu Heng rode his horse and rushed into the already broken barracks, teaching the unruly barbarians a lesson, and pulling away the Chi Chieftain who was beating his companions.
When a root led the yak and strolled into the barracks.
The captured captives, bound by hemp ropes and connected by ropes, walked out of the camp under the guidance of the barbarians.
One frowned, observed for a moment the captives who looked like white Europeans in the previous life, pulled the reins of the morning glory, and passed past the barbarian who was walking in front of him with a long rope.
The barracks had been destroyed, and in the empty camp, he saw Liu Heng standing in front of a pile of grains and weapons, holding the bark of a tree and holding a charcoal pen.
Tie the rope of the morning glory to a low tree with low branches and an unusually thick trunk.
Yougen walked to Liu Heng's side.
Listening to the footsteps behind him, Liu Heng didn't reply, and said while bowing his head to record: "These grains, if they are eaten openly, are only enough for three days." ”
"This team is too small in number, and if we want to loot more food and grass, we have to attack a bigger team. ”
Yougen frowned and looked at the waist-length grain pile in front of him, and then at the weapons stacked next to the grain pile, and continued: "We also need more manpower, but the most important thing is to build a base of our own as soon as possible. ”
Hearing this, Liu Heng raised his head and looked at Yougen with a somewhat stunned face.
"Do you have any ideas?"
"Caoyun County cannot be attacked, and Yinshui Town cannot be defended. ”
Yougen stretched out his hand, pointed in the direction of the great lake, and said, "The place where we passed, although there were many wastelands, were overgrown with weeds, and although the land was fertile, it could not be cultivated for the time being. ”
"Only that lake. ”
"What's wrong with the lake?"
Liu Heng looked puzzled, but a trace of realization rose in his heart.
"If we build a dam to block the flowing water that overflows the riverbank, the great lake of 10,000 hectares will be 10,000 miles of fertile land. ”
Hearing this, Liu Heng's eyes widened, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "Embankment, what is it......?"
The corners of Yougen's mouth twitched, and his face immediately became helpless.
He lowered his head and thought about it, considered the method he had seen in the popular science programs on TV in the previous world, and said: "The way of taking water and pouring and roasting by fire, take down the hard stones on the mountain, and pile the hard stones on the gap in the river bank to block the flowing river. ”
"The lake is so big, we don't see the banks at the outlet of the lake, the area is so big, the gap must not be small, where do we have so much manpower. ”
Liu Heng frowned, thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Even if we have sufficient manpower, such a project will definitely take a very long time." ”
"Where do we have time?"
Hearing this, Yougen laughed and said: "There are tens of thousands of people in Yinshui Town now, count them, add some bases every day, and spend some time, you will definitely be able to build a dike." ”
"At that time, we had either returned to Caoyun County, or we had been defeated, no matter what the outcome was, filling the river and building embankments was meaningless. ”
Liu Heng shook his head, bowed his head to pick up the pen, and continued to write on the white paper.
Yougen touched his forehead, sighed, turned to look at the captives who were taken out of the camp in batches, and said, "These people, what are you going to do?"
"Those who are willing to follow us and are strong and fit into our ranks, and let the others share a portion of the food and fend for themselves. ”
Hearing this, Yougen frowned and said, "I see that all of them seem to have received a certain amount of training, why don't we recruit them all and let them join our team." ”
The pitch-black charcoal slid on the birch bark, and the twisted words appeared on the bark with the moving charcoal, Liu Heng had a serious face, and kept recording on the bark with the charcoal.
He said disapprovingly: "Among these people, there are many disabilities, and many of them are too old, and it is impossible for us to bring them all." ”
Put away the charcoal in your hand and roll up the recorded birch bark.
Liu Heng turned around and walked towards his mount.
The sleek steed, swinging its loose tail, drove away blood-sucking mosquitoes and flies.
With his ears erected, the black dragon raised his head, turned his head to look at Liu Heng, who was walking towards him, and stretched out his tongue to lick the dirt stuck to the tip of his nose.
Yougen rushed to Liu Heng's side in a few steps, and said forcefully again: "Don't you think it's strange?
Liu Heng stopped, looked at Yougen impatiently, and said, "What's the matter?"
"This is the land of Caoyun County, right?"
Yougen pointed to the dilapidated camp and said anxiously: "When they enter here, they must have received certain benefits, and we can also give more such benefits." ”
