Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 1018 1018: Hannibal in the Northern Desert (Part 1) [Please vote for me]

People in this era have a soul-deep fear of natural disasters, among which the earth dragon is the most popular. It is as if the ancestors have experienced similar disasters and have this fear deeply rooted in their genes and passed down from generation to generation. It’s just that as time goes by, people become numb.

Whose earth dragon can toss and turn all day long?

Xian Yujian was nervous at first.

Every muscle is ready to lead the senior brother to escape.

As a result, dust fell from the rafters from day to night.

Yun Ce was so shocked that he couldn't even close his eyes.

Xian Yujian couldn't sit still and got up to inquire.

I didn't have much hope, but it turned out that the soldiers guarding them seemed to have been specially warned, but they didn't embarrass Xian Yujian. They laughed and said: "It is said that the Kangguo group is digging a trap."

Xian Yujian is not sure whether the news is true or false.

When he came back to inform Yun Ce, Yun Ce looked tired: "Dig a trap? Has anyone said how big the trap is and how long it will take to dig it?"

Xian Yujian: "They say they want to surround Shexing Pass."

Because it was too whimsical, the news turned out to be true - this weird brain circuit was indeed something someone from his own family could do.

Yun Ce thought for a moment: "Surround? Cut off food and grass?"

Xian Yujian sighed: "This food and grass is not easy to cut off."

It is true that digging a circle of traps can completely isolate the Shooting Star Pass - it is not necessary to dig a whole circle, it is enough to have 70 or 80 traps - but the problem is that the Northern Desert is not a wooden stake, and it is impossible to watch Kang's soldiers and horses shooting the stars. The pass is dug into an isolated island, but it is not blind.

Beimo will also send elites to intercept and kill the construction teams.

In terms of force alone, the latter may not be able to resist the former.

In addition, the construction time is also a stumbling block that hinders the plan. It is too difficult to completely trap the elites of the Northern Desert at Shexing Pass.

Yun Ce closed his eyes and calmed down for a while. Just when Xian Yujian thought he was asleep, he said, "It's not like there's no chance."

Where the opportunity lies, he didn't say.

Their brothers and sisters have all become prisoners.

There were a lot of people staring at them openly, but they didn't know how many people were secretly watching them. Some sensitive topics could only be touched upon.

Even Xian Yujian didn't know about the opportunity Yun Ce mentioned.

Because Zi Gu had no contact with the general as a prisoner.

Yun Ce is different. He is an acquaintance with Bei Jiu, the general supervisor.

At the beginning, Beiju needed help in testing the toughness and strength of the equipment. Yun Ce also looked at Beiju's face in the past - the Kang State was first established, and could not find a few literary scholars/valiant warriors to help her. He was bumped into by other Mohists who also came to borrow someone from Beijiu.

[Young man, be diligent. 】

The smiling Mohist stroked Yun Ce's back.

Yun Ce almost exploded.

Resistance is written on every strand of hair.

Beijiu comforted him afterwards and said: [Uncle Master is so old that no matter how hungry he is, he can't choose you. She just wants to know the length of your spine. Recently, he has been working as a wooden man who can sweep the floor by himself. 】

Yun Ce said: [The wooden man who swept the floor by himself? 】

The chicken legs were turned twice in Beijiu's mouth, and the clean chicken bones were spat out: [It is troublesome to take care of the sawdust that is dug down every day. 】

Yun Ce's social circle is not large.

I couldn't find many friends even during the holidays.

Whenever he had free time, he would be picked up by Bei Jiu to help. After finishing his work, other Mohists would come over by chance. Seeing that he was there, they would pull him away with a smile. Every time Xiu Mu was arranged clearly.

Over time, Yun Ce became a non-staff member.

A public assistant.

Other Mohists always like to praise him for his kindness, willingness to help others, and being anxious for people's needs. He is simply one of the five best young men in the Kang Dynasty, a model for young unmarried officials, and the best son-in-law in the heart of his mother-in-law. The young master who will be the supervisor, Beijiu's uncle, is extremely satisfied with him.

As the son-in-law who is recognized as the prisoner, Yun Ce is naturally exposed to many more things than outsiders. They are as small as various "wooden cows and horses" that can walk on their own. Although it is not obvious from their appearance that they are cows and horses - the poet who made them bluntly said that she is a cow and horse - cows and horses have the same root, so there is no need to rush into each other; they are so big that they are almost powerful. Weird firearms that are no better than third-class hairpins, or even fourth-class ones.

The former can walk tirelessly as long as they are infused with the pure energy of heaven and earth - if they are used to replace grain transporters, the loss of baggage during transportation can be minimized.

Taking a supply camp with a size of 800 people as an example, the number of guards can be as few as 1,000. Adding in the reconnaissance scouts, the number of people here is close to 2,000. The baggage camp only escorts eighty to one hundred vehicles of grain and grass. If the terrain is special and can only be transported by manpower, the amount of baggage transported will be cut in half, but the manpower required will be doubled.

These people also consume food and grass on their way back and forth.

After deducting the consumption, military pay, and storage losses of these people on the road, the rest is what the frontline soldiers can receive. The soldiers received 10,000 shi of food and grass, and later they needed to set off with hundreds of thousands shi.

In order to save losses, we naturally have to rack our brains to find ways, and farming is one of them - minimizing the distance from the granary to the front line. Then there is the improvement of transportation equipment.

The "Wooden Ox and Flowed Horse" is undoubtedly a breakthrough, but the first version of the "Wooden Ox and Flowed Horse" still has many flaws. It still lacks the firepower to be used for large-scale grain transportation. I don't know how many generations it has been replaced now.

And the latter?

Strange firearms are not very powerful, but the advantage is that there is no upper limit on their quantity.

As long as there is enough time, Mo Zhe can rub a lot of things that are comparable to third-class hairpins and fourth-class hairpins, and it is still a one-time use.

Even if it was him before...

If you are caught off guard, you will be blown to pieces.

It has little effect on the frontal battlefield, but is it used for blasting and digging traps?

That's so useful!

This thought made Yun Ce's spirit improve by three points.

Xian Yujian gave him medicine, and the senior brother fell asleep under the continuous tremors under his feet. Xian Yujian didn't sleep deeply and always maintained a alert posture. The next day, the sky just turned white, an urgent alarm sounded inside the pass, and the footsteps outside were chaotic.

Yun Ce was also woken up.

I had a good night's sleep and I look better than yesterday.

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

Xian Yujian looked strange: "The trap is over halfway."

Yun Ce was stunned: "Over, over half?"

At this moment, the Northern Desert army only had curse words in their hearts.

Who knows, when I woke up, the enemies who were still digging traps yesterday saw the project entering the final stage.

They all suspected that they had not slept all night.

This is more than ten days of sleep, right?

Liu Guan, who was preparing to send troops to clear out the Kangguo construction team today, even suspected that she was hearing hallucinations. She grabbed the messenger and confirmed it three times but still got the same reply. In the end, I simply pushed him away and went to the city to find out what was going on. An extremely obvious "deep trench" is revealed at the end of the line of sight. One end is inward from the left and the other is inward from the right. The two are running in both directions.

"How can this be?"

Liu Guan almost left his fingerprints on the wall.

Everyone in the Northern Desert also felt the same shock.

How can this be! ! !

Haha, this is really possible.

In addition to being the supervisor of ink and a skilled martial artist under Shen Tang's tent, she also has the only remaining members of the Gongxi clan. Jimo Qiu and Gong Xiqiu were worth half of the engineering team.

To be precise, it was Gong Xiqiu who had this weight.

As the high priest, Jimo Qiu can continuously borrow strength from the earth and continue to cheer for his younger brother. Gong Xiqiu is only responsible for summoning the martial arts totem, and he rolls in the mud with one person and one python. The other soldiers are only responsible for transporting all the mud away.

Why is it a wallow?

Jimo Qiu can soften the earth with the help of divine power and turn solid land into soft mire. Gong Xiqiu only had to control the Martial Arts Totem to dive in headlong, swinging his tail left and right - there was no way in this world, and the python would naturally find it if it climbed too much.

Compared with the standards of the construction team, the "trap" that Gong Xiqiu climbed out of was a little sloppy and the deviation was a bit large.

Shen Tang stood above the giant excavator, aiming with one eye.

"The angle is thousands of miles different..." If this was a bridge construction project, the car would have to turn the steering wheel hard and drift when driving here.

The payment cannot be accepted at all.

Complaints are complaints, Shen Tang is in a good mood that can be seen with the naked eye.

She could already picture the scene in the Bei Desert where the group of people got up early but were frightened by this scene, and their faces looked like they were eating shit. The more I thought about it, the happier I became, and I burst out laughing uncontrollably: "It's wonderful!"

Shen Tang looked down from a high position, with his hands on his hips.

"It's not in vain that I spent so long here eating ashes."

Just as he was feeling triumphant, Bai Su came over in a flash.

He cupped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is something going on at Shooting Star Pass."

The door is closed and the wild beast is out.

Shen Tang suppressed his smile and put his hand-made tent on his brow. Sure enough, he saw smoke and dust rising vaguely in the direction of Shexing Pass, approaching here. She chuckled and raised her hand to greet everyone in the construction team: "Feng Jianzhahu, clean up everyone's business and change places!"

Wait until she digs it out before fighting these idiots.

As soon as these words came out, all the Mohists packed their things.

One after another, the giant excavators turned into "Jian Ai" who was immersed in light. He threw "Jian Ai" on his back, and other brave warriors formed a formation to use speed-increasing words. It took more than ten breaths from start to finish, and the construction team's feet were slippery.

"Where are the people?"

Looking at the cliff at his feet, Liu Guan looked gloomy.

Where are the shadows of Kang's soldiers and horses?

Not to mention those people, even the giant artifacts that the scouts said were as tall as more than a dozen people were missing, leaving only countless weird ruts on the ground. Judging from the width and depth of these tracks, the information relayed by the scouts was correct. But how long has passed since then?

How could these things disappear?

Unless, these are all creations of the spirit?

Liu Guan's brain was spinning rapidly.

The fist hanging by his side was so hard that it began to tremble.

"Chase, send someone to find out their whereabouts!"

The general who led his troops out of the customs walked to the edge of the "cliff" on horseback, looked at the ground nearly three feet below, and was silent for a long time.

“How should these holes be filled?”

Although the military formation's word spirit can also "cover it with water and earth", most of this soil is already present under the feet. You can use it to block the enemy by using the word spirit, and a small number of it can be transformed by the word spirit. The latter will overflow into the energy of heaven and earth as the spirit of speech expires.

In other words——

If you want to fill holes in the Northern Desert, you can only use real mud.

rob Peter to pay Paul.

He understood why Kang Guo's group also carried away the mud. They demolished the east wall and the west wall, leaving no bricks for them.

"You can't send people to dig holes and fill them in..."

They can't fill holes as fast as others can dig them.

Liu Guan took a deep breath.

"They have a good plan, and we also have a wall ladder. The worst is possible. Who said they can't send food and grass in if they dig a trap? You can use words to create a trestle!"

After hearing this, the general took a look at the width of the trap.

The narrowest point is three feet and four feet, and the widest point is nearly four feet.

Making trestles with words and spirits may seem like a solution to an urgent need, but upon closer inspection, it is poisonous to quench thirst, because the consumption of trestles' words and spirits is related to the length, width, duration and load limit of the trestle. How much does a baggage truck weigh? At the same time, not only the baggage trains but also the grain transporters from the baggage camp had to pass. How many baggage cars and people could be allowed to cross the trestle at one time?

If the baggage trains were queuing up to cross the bridge...

I can't imagine how chaotic that scene would be.

By then, even if Kang's soldiers and horses do not come to harass them, the efficiency of food transportation will be greatly reduced, not to mention that Kang's soldiers and horses cannot miss such a good opportunity for a sneak attack. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Unexpectedly, what would cause them more headaches was yet to come.

The scouts searched for Kang's troops to no avail, and Liu Guan returned without success. As soon as he returned to Shexing Pass, the earth dragon that had stopped began to turn over again. The familiar wave of smoke appears in another location.

Liu Guan: "..."

Taking a deep breath: "What are you doing standing still? Send troops to clear it out!"

The same drama continued throughout the day.

The soldiers and horses of Shexing Pass ran out, and Shen Tang fled immediately. They took them back, and Shen Tang and others ran to other places to continue digging holes. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, stick, giant excavator, working non-stop, so fast that it can emit smoke.

It’s impossible not to seize the time.

Bei Mo is pressing forward step by step.

I went back and forth a dozen times.

In a hurry, Shen Tang didn't care about the construction standards. He could dig the hole as deep as he wanted, widen it as wide as he could, and left everything to chance in other directions. As long as the shooting star can be closed and circled, it will be fine.

Shen Tang's construction standards are simply non-standard.

"Huh - I'm so exhausted - it's like I'm hiding from the city management."

After dealing with sand and dust for two days in a row, she didn't bother to wash up. Her whole body was dirty and the color was comparable to that of a Minion. Shen Tang sat on the head of the giant excavator and ate steamed buns. Just after taking two bites, a scout reported back - the forward reconnaissance found the supply camp in the Northern Desert.

Shen Tang counted with his fingers.

"Ji Shou isn't here, so if you can, fuck them!"

When Shexing Pass sent troops to respond, they only saw scorched earth.

The baggage carts were burned to the ground, and the food and grass disappeared.

There is also a small Jingguan built on the spot made of one hundred and eighty heads.

There is a flag on it.

The flag was torn, obviously someone's clothes had been temporarily requisitioned.

The letter was written with two big characters: dragon and phoenix dancing.

【Smile! 】

The supporting troops took the flag back.

There was silence in the hall, and you could hear a needle drop.

Until a scoff broke the silence.

At this moment, the only one who still had the courage to laugh was Werder. He dismissed everyone and said, "A few little tricks can frighten you all? It's true that each generation is worse than the last."

Brother Tude suppressed the anxiety in his heart.

The scale of transporting grain and grass this time was not large, it was just an outpost, and if it was burned, it would be burned, but it also reflected how much trouble the Kangguo soldiers and horses had brought to them this time! If the enemy succeeds once, he will succeed a second time. Even if he cannot succeed again and again, there are tens of thousands of people in the northern desert at Shexing Pass, and the daily consumption of food and grass is a huge amount. If this continues, sooner or later, they will run out of food.

Yunda said: "If you want to make it die——"

His eyes swept over everyone.

"Make it crazy first."

"Let them burn the food and grass as many times as they want."

"We can turn it over eight times out of ten, but—"

"They only get it once."
