Chapter Thirty-Eight
But there were many people and great forces. They cut down trees and dug trenches, transported supplies and ammunition, collected stones and other work immediately started to work separately. Meng Jiucheng took his troops and unceremoniously collected most of the stored grains of several wealthy families in Wenjiashanqian Village and Younianguanzhuang Village, leaving only a few white strips, which solved the problem of eating between soldiers and migrant workers in a few days.
It is hard during the day and not idle at night. Sharpened wooden sticks are roasted black and hard on the fire, and they are planted into small holes made in front of the village. The ruler-long tips are dense, which squeezes the road into the village so that only three people can pass by in parallel or a car.
Test shooting, distance measurement, and then several walls were demolished in the village and several courtyards were opened. Only then did the six stone throwers transported from Pingding Mountain be laid out in the village.
Meng Jiucheng also has secret weapons, so he is so confident.
Cannon! That's right, it was what he mentioned when he talked to Mu Yi. It should be called the Pine Tree Cannon.
Use a slim tree trunk as a trimmer, then cut it into two halves, take out half each as an inner chamber, and then tighten it with an iron ring, which will install a gun in front of the door.
It saves time and labor when manufacturing, and is convenient and fast to obtain materials. Although it is limited in power (the effective killing distance is only more than 30 meters), it is the first large-caliber body-pipe weapon in history.
All six pine tree cannons on Pingding Mountain were transported and fixed on the flatbed cart, and they turned into fast-moving cannons.
Meng Jiucheng felt that the pine tree cannon had a future in other aspects except for its range. The next step was to create a cannon car with shields and prepare to push it to bombard the enemy in the future. This is definitely the first, and the cost is too low, just wood and a few rounds of iron hoops, and it will be thrown directly after scrapping. Moreover, due to the characteristics of the wood, cracks will appear before the blast, which has obvious early warning effect and can effectively prevent accidental injury.
Hundreds of gravel and iron sand blasted over, and the killing range of fan-shaped firepower was several times larger than that of the sock-up gun. The Red Army used it to hit the White Dog, fought the Japanese in the Anti-Japanese War, and the Japanese who were also injured were called "pork guns" in fear.
In order to ensure that we can win this key battle, Meng Jiucheng also took the initiative. No matter whether others pay attention or not, if they can't even protect themselves, they will be satisfied with bringing the so-called secret into the coffin?
Without the ability to crush, a little carelessness may lead to complete failure. In many cases, the success or failure of a thing depends on unknown details. Furthermore, the base area is still very weak and cannot withstand failure.
Whether a decision is right or wrong, we must consider the situation and situation at that time, and more importantly, we must look at the final result. If the result is not good, it is wrong; if the result is good, no matter how mentally retarded the decision is, it is correct and wise.
If Meng Jiucheng's plan was implemented smoothly, there was naturally nothing to say. But he could not ignore the occurrence of unexpected situations and should not take it too much.
Although Meng Jiucheng still believes in his luck so far, he is not sure that he is even brighter than Zhuge Liang.
Who will become a hunter, who will become a prey? The comprehensive test of wisdom, courage, perseverance, and skills will make the loser bleeding and die.
The pursuit of success, the hope of making achievements, the passion of killing, and the desire to fight are the motivations to support Meng Jiucheng.
This battle is extraordinary. Meng Jiucheng personally handles many things and only needs to be relieved after making proper arrangements. Even if the work is done, Meng Jiucheng must supervise and inspect to ensure that it meets the requirements.
As soon as it was dawn, Meng Jiucheng took a few people out of the village. What he saw were busy working migrant workers. He was aimless and casually looking at a man.
In the sun, the man's face was dark and sweaty. The weather was still cold, but he only wore a jacket and showed a strong figure. What's more special is that he had an axe on his waist. The reason for the striking reason was not complicated. Half of his black and dry ears were worn by a rope and tied to the axe handle.
When he found someone staring at him, the man raised his head and looked at Meng Jiucheng.
With broad shoulders, calm eyes, and firm lips, this guy is just a soldier at heart. Meng Jiucheng nodded with a smile and remembered this man in his heart.
…………
The dark clouds slowly moved from south to north, and the sun was dim, and small pieces seemed to be in the cold clear sky of contemplation, occasionally peeking down from the cracks of the clouds. The earth was immersed in the mud and humid air of the first ice and snow, giving people a feeling of desolation and loneliness.
Riding on the horse and leading the brigade, Du Qi's waist and back were straight. Shouldn't the general be like this? Only in this way can he have majesty!
Since he joined Zhang Cheng in the county, Du Qi has tried hard to get rid of his previous style and has a lot of dissatisfaction with his old brothers. In his opinion, although the grassroots world is his roots, but if he doesn't get rid of these, how can he become successful and dominate the world?
Well, let it go first when you ascend the throne. First find a foothold, then expand your team, and take the first step to dominate one side.
In fact, Du Qi can be regarded as a robber with pursuit and ideals, and is much better than those bandits who live one day and enjoy it all day.
But, struggle will succeed, will dreams come true?
There are countless examples that have proved that God only gave everyone the luck to live, and did not give everyone a promise of a big fish. You don’t even know the right or wrong of the current track, so why is it so sure that it will be the sky where you can fly?
Just like Du Qi, who has plans for the future, is quite confident, but he will never expect a tiger to block the road in front of him, and he will never expect that his ideal will end soon.
"Boss, no, general." A small leader rushed to report from the team, "The village in front was taken down, but everyone ran away, leaving only a few old and sick guys."
"He's the mother!" Du Qixu whipped the whip, as if it had touched the wound. The flesh on his face twitched a few times, and said fiercely: "It's all cut. If these troublemakers don't give them some good looks, they won't be honest and obedient in the future."
"No, no." A guy with two thorns urged the donkey to come over. He still waved the folding fan in his hand this season. "The general is determined to be a thousand miles away, so why should he be suffocated with a few immortals? Leaving their abject life can demonstrate the general's benevolence and righteousness and disintegration of the people's misunderstanding and hostility towards the general. Sun Tzu said: A soldier who defeats others without fighting is a good person. Therefore, the superior soldiers attack the plan, the second is the second is the enemy's plan, and the next is the enemy's battle, and the next is the enemy's battle..."
