Under the "military" management of the Taoist priest these days, the refugees in the refugee camp have been organized into teams of one hundred and ten people, and Shangdi has gained some basic organization and discipline. [Full text reading] Nowadays, everyone has a farm tool or a wooden stick, coupled with the tattered clothes and wrinkled and nervous faces, they look like the farmers Zhang Yingchen saw when he was a child. A character from the Rebels comic strip.
Zhang Yingchen asked people to bury hundreds of large tile basins and large wooden basins dotted around a hundred meters away from the front of the trench, close to the trench passage. I couldn't get so many extra-large tile basins and wooden basins in a hurry. Farmers raise pigs, and there are many stone and pottery pig troughs, which are transported and half-buried in the ground.
These pots and pots were dotted half-buried on the ground, like plum blossom arrays. Everyone said that the leader wanted to set up a "pot array". Everyone is waiting to see what "immortal magic" the "real person" will perform.
"Everyone, work harder and fill these pots up." Zhang Yingchen urged the Taoists who were lighting the fire. They were constantly stirring the paste in the pot - it was even thinner than usual.
Young and strong Taoists were carrying burdens, carrying buckets of cooked paste to the "pot array" in front of Haogou, and pouring it into each pot. The weather was cold, and white mist was rising when the hot paste was poured in. However, it got cold after a while. The paste in the pots and pans that had been poured in earlier had already formed a thin layer of ice on the surface.
Originally, he planned to add some sedatives and anesthetics such as cinnabar and buddleia to the paste, but then he realized that they were already severely malnourished. If you eat these cold pastes with added ingredients, you will probably die on the spot - even if you don't add any ingredients, eating this cold paste will probably lead to diarrhea and kill many people.
but. At this moment, whether the refugees would get upset after eating it was not Zhang Yingchen's main concern. The main reason why he set up this "pot array" in front of the trench was to slow down the impact of refugees arriving in the trench.
The refugees came for food, were instigated by cults, and had been hungry for many days in this freezing environment. Their survival instinct would drive them crazy. It is very likely that they will frantically attack the earth embankment regardless of the trenches and rifle fire. No matter how “miracle” you have, it will be difficult for you to perform it. Once the refugees poured into the trenches and climbed up the earth embankments, he was not sure whether the people in the refugee camps could stop this madness. Besides, Zhang Yingchen didn’t want corpses all over the ditch.
Therefore, we must first eliminate its energy before contacting it, so that we can seize the initiative and then do better next time.
A "pot array" was set up some distance in front of the trench so that hungry people would be attracted to food during the impact. The gathering place is also blocked on the access road. Once the feeding crowd gathers, a human body separation wall will be formed, effectively absorbing the impact of subsequent refugees. Thereby reducing the direct pressure on the earth embankment. More people, less food. There will inevitably be a fight for food around these pots, which will cause even greater chaos in front of the trench. Buy him more time, and at the same time allow the refugees to slow down their fervent evil fire.
The reason why pots and pots are half-buried underground is, first of all, to avoid being overturned by hungry people and causing waste. Secondly, people can only squat down to eat, which increases the time for eating. As for cooking thin paste, of course it is to save food, but the bigger advantage is that without a container, it is very difficult to eat the thin paste into your mouth. In this way, the hungry people will stay at the Cauldron Formation for a long time.
As long as the refugees gather around the array of pots and pans, the hungry people who have not eaten the rest will focus on the food on their lips. This triggered a larger-scale fight for food and plunged the attack of the hungry people into chaos. The backbone of the believers and the more special people will be highlighted. The shooters of his special reconnaissance team can give full play to their skills, and with the help of tweeters, his "miracle" can work again.
He looked at his speaker, which the special detective team had placed under a table draped in a gorgeous sacrificial robe. He lightly tapped the microphone around his neck to test that the connection was normal.
Seeing the smoke in the distance getting bigger and closer, the sound of muttered mantras could be heard faintly. Zhang Yingchen took a deep breath and calmed down.
The pots and pans outside the trench were filled with paste, and everyone outside the trench withdrew. Zhang Yingchen wore a Qing hibiscus crown and legal robes. Holding a whisk in one hand, Min Zhanlian stands on the left, armed with a sword; Luo Chun stands on the right, holding a seven-star sword. Behind him were a group of handsome and handsome young disciples. Standing on the high platform of the earth embankment, it was really like an immortal descending to earth.
Not only can you see far when you stand high, but you can also dominate others in terms of momentum. The hungry people are currently a group of people driven by instinct. They have basically lost the ability to judge and are easily affected by various external factors. Zhang Yingchen deliberately worked on various details in order to be able to control the public's psychology.
Zhang Yingchen took out his telescope and looked towards the place where the smoke was rising. Crowds of people were coming here. He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart and recited "Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun" several times.
"The Taoist temple of the Demonic Way is not far ahead!"
I don’t know who was the first to say this, but it immediately spread among the crowd. The hungry people who were struggling with hunger were lifted up as if they had eaten ginseng.
There were many strong, good-looking men among the crowd. Sometimes they shouted at the top of their lungs: "Everyone rush into the Taoist temple to have a good meal!" He said in a friendly tone: "Brother, hurry up. If you go late, others will eat all your food."
Under their instigation, billowing waves of hungry people surged towards Yunsheng Temple like a tide. But in this way, the already procrastinating crowd of hungry people stretching for several miles became even more dispersed. Women, children, the old and the weak were left behind, led by some young and strong men who were almost going crazy with hunger. Every one of them was so hungry that their eyes were red. They all had the idea of eating until they were full before dying, and they accelerated their pace even more. , rushing forward as if desperately trying, the last few miles were like running at full speed - just like a traveler in the desert seeing a spring.
Xiao Chuba was also among this crowd. He was holding a stick tightly in his hand, and his eyes, which were so hungry that they were blind, were suddenly stained with blood since he heard that the Taoist temple of "Demon Way" was not far in front. He roared something hoarse and ran forward, rolling and crawling. If there were tens of thousands of refugees in this huge crowd, if they were even a little bit late, they would be so hot that they couldn't even keep up with the heat.
Wang Xing and Lei Zilin were so anxious that they stamped their feet and secretly cursed Protector Liu for not understanding anything. They had received reports from spies that a deep and wide trench had been dug outside Yunsheng Temple, and an earth embankment had been built on the inside of the trench. It looked like it was being guarded by local warriors. The two planned to let the refugee crowd move slowly, gather the team at the trench, and then start to attack the Taoist temple - forcing women, children, old and weak to fill the trench. When the trench was filled, the opponent's gunpowder, bows and arrows would also be exhausted. It was almost done, and the young men behind them rushed forward again. This was a tried-and-tested tactic of coercing refugees to attack the city. Unexpectedly, Guardian Liu was completely dismissive of their suggestions and directly sent people to spread the news among the team that the Taoist temple was ahead, so that the refugees could attack the Taoist temple.
In this way, although driven by the strong desire to survive, the flesh and blood of these tens of thousands of refugees were enough to fill the trenches and invade Yunshengguan, but the two of them planned to capture Yunshengguan and use the food, gold and silver inside The matter of coercing young and middle-aged refugees to raise troops on the spot is a shame - in such a melee, young and middle-aged people are bound to be killed and injured in a mess, and not even one out of ten can be saved.
"What should we do?" Wang Xing stared closely into Lei Zilin's eyes, "We won't be able to draw many teams after this battle!"
"We have to act according to the opportunity," Lei Zilin couldn't think of any way. Wang Xing only had more than forty followers in total. There is no strength advantage compared to the hundreds of believers mixed in the crowd. Now if you resist the order of the protector, you may be captured on the spot, "Let's not get in front and let others fight!"
"There won't be anyone here when we arrive..." Wang Xing said. His idea was very simple: young and middle-aged people died in large numbers, leaving behind a bunch of women, children, old and weak, useless people.
"We have money and food, but are we afraid that there will be no soldiers?" Lei Zilin thought quickly, "The first thing we have to do is to let the protector ascend to heaven as soon as possible..."
Wang Xing understood: "I heard that the demon has great magic power."
Xiao Chuba followed the crowd all the way to the trench. The pots and pots dotted on the ground immediately caught their attention - in ordinary years, these pots and pots, which were gray and mushy, would not be occupied at all. Think of it as "food." But for someone who has been suffering from hunger for months, the smell of food will never escape. The person walking in front almost immediately let out a terrifying roar and rushed towards the "pot array".
Xiao Chuba was not at the front, but he knew from the shouts and sudden acceleration of the crowd in front that there must be something to eat ahead. He swung the stick violently and hit the person in front of him on the head. He knocked down one and immediately stepped on his back. Then, without him having to run, a huge force suddenly surged out from behind him. , "pushing" him forward.
Almost instantly, like mercury pouring down the ground, hundreds of pots and pots were crowded with hungry people. Thousands of black hands, some holding broken bowls, some holding earthen pots, and some simply empty. They frantically scooped out the pots and jars filled with the paste. Some people didn't have containers, so they simply leaned on the jars and drank. (To be continued...)
