Li Chuyi was impressed by Liang Chuan's military training methods. He only thought that Liang Chuan was a man with great strength and a little cleverness. He did not expect that Liang Chuan had such a unique method for such advanced technical tasks as military training. No matter where he learned it, If he can use it, he is quite powerful.
"Sanlang, the training of soldiers is still somewhat useful now, but what do you want them to use to fight the mountain people? Isn't it the hatchet in their hands?" Li Chuyi asked Liang Chuandao. Momentum in battle is difficult and important, but no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. Fighting against the enemy without weapons is tantamount to death!
Liang Chuan said to Li Chu in a thief manner: "I'm not that crazy. How can we fight without weapons? Using a hatchet to fight is tantamount to committing suicide. Instead of committing suicide, we might as well pack up our belongings and run away." .”
Li Chuyi feels embarrassed now. He refuses to fight without weapons. Now that three villages in Helu have been sealed off, where can he get weapons? There is no way to equip these villagers with weapons in large quantities for a while, right?
"Then what are your plans?" Li Chuyi was not interested in anything, but he would never shirk and would take the initiative to stand up for matters such as fighting or killing.
Liang Chuan smiled and said slowly: "According to my analysis, we should still have some time. During this time, we will prepare as many tools as possible to deal with this battle with a low chance of victory."
Li Chuyi had seen many officers and generals leading troops in battles, but he had never seen one like Liang Chuan, who had no soldiers, no generals, no food and no swords, yet he could still keep calm and think about how to carry this army with him. Helping the country bumpkins calm down the chaos, this matter is left to a military commander of Chaoting Prefecture. He holds a knife from behind and forces them. They may not be willing to fight this losing battle.
Liang Chuan actually analyzed the other mountain people. He wanted to hear his analysis: "What time?"
Liang Chuan asked back: "Brother Li, you don't know this, right? Of course it takes time for the mountain people to defeat them. I guess they will never defeat them so quickly."
Li Chuyi himself also thought about the path of these mountain people. It was definitely different from the path in the northwest, but it was not much different. He was curious about how Liang Chuan analyzed it, so he asked, "What do you think?"
"Our weapons are made from the mountains. This is a gift given to us by the mountains. Although they look rough, they will never lose their lethality to standard weapons. The key lies in whether we can make good use of the things!"
Liang Chuan's secret weapon is the sea of bamboo in the old forest behind the mountain. These high-quality moso bamboos can be made into a very powerful weapon, and they are specially prepared for infantry combat!
Liang Chuan first asked the squadron leader and the corps commander to take their team members up the mountain to cut moso bamboo. This time, the moso bamboo should be at least one foot, five or six feet long, with the branches on top, and all the branches on the moso bamboo should be preserved. It can't be cut down. Although most of the territory belongs to the mountain people now, Liangchuan has been to the Moso Bamboo Forest area too many times and rarely encounters mountain people, so he can still let the villagers go up. Besides, there are many villagers, and the mountain people We should not dare to have a direct conflict.
It was already the second day since they came down from the mountain. Time was very precious now. Liang Chuan not only had to train troops but also prepare other things. He had to do all the time at the same time before he could use it.
After arranging the team members to cut moso bamboo, Liang Chuan analyzed Li Chuyi leisurely: "Except for the south bank of Nanxi River and the county seat, where the land is fertile and the population is concentrated, every other place in Xinghua is not extremely poor."
Li Chuyi looked at Liang Chuan quietly and continued: "The mountain people have just rebelled in the past few days. Rebellion and war are a very complex and large project. As you know, fighting is not about everyone getting together and fighting each other." Cutting is called fighting, and fighting requires tactics and strategies. It requires not only charging soldiers, but more importantly, logistics. Do you know what logistics is?"
Li Chuyi gave him a stern look, as if he was cursing in his heart, you were still in your mother's womb when I was fighting, do you understand what logistics you are talking about to me, it's just supplies.
"Logistics and economy are the foundation of any war. Why did Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty dare to challenge the Huns, who his grandfather could not defeat? It was not because his ancestors had a great family and a great business, and he could handle it no matter how much he squandered.
Liang Chuan then said with a bad smile: "But these mountain people are different. Yes, these mountain people are quite agile in hunting all year round, but they are too poor. Their poverty has forced them to rebel. How much food can they have on hand? No matter how fierce the soldiers are, Even if you don’t eat for two days, your feet will be shaking!”
"The mountain people on the mountain must be thinking of ways to collect food and weapons now. They will not consider going down the mountain until these materials are in place. They have not been seen in Xinghua and Qingyuan, which are nearest to them. This will definitely still happen. Wandering in the mountains, it takes a long time to go to any county. If they don't come to Qingyuan Quanzhou Prefecture in Xinghua, they can only go to Yong'an and Yongtai, and the journey is even longer! We still have some time to go back and forth. .”
Li Chuyi was numb now. He didn't understand at all how a little beggar who was so poor that he could only borrow his own shabby house to live in could know so much knowledge, whether it was about life, farming, or... It's business, and now he can even explain the methods of these ten thousand enemies, and every one of them is quite reasonable, just like what those mountain people told him. It’s a pity that such talented people don’t have to go to the northwest to make contributions!
Liang Chuan said before he could stop: "The mountain people have lived in the mountains for many years, and the mountains are their home field. They just defeated the officers a few days ago, and they are not officers and soldiers. There is a huge difference between the two, and their combat effectiveness is also very different." . If their leader is a smart man, he will definitely choose the battlefield on the mountain instead of at the foot of the mountain. At least before they damage the vitality of the officers and soldiers, their first tactic will be to use defense as offense, and they will never lose themselves by going down the mountain. With great strength, Brother Li, please see if what I said is right!"
"Our mission is not to kill thieves, but to survive. No matter how much we do, it is just to survive. If we can get reinforcements from the government and go directly to the mountain to kill these mountain people, then it will be none of our business. If the government doesn't come, , but the mountain people are looking forward to it, so we have to rely on ourselves even for the funeral." This is the ending that Liang Chuan least wants to see, but the possibility is too great, so he has to make the worst plan.
The team members are not the village girls who make bamboo weaving for Liangchuan. They are all strong men with good legs and physical strength. They cut the bamboos in a short time up the mountain. The two of them carried them down quickly, not daring to go up the mountain. If you stay too long, you will be afraid of attracting mountain people.
Even He Baozheng didn't understand that Liang Chuan was still thinking about chopping moso bamboo at this time. Is he afraid that these women would suffer a loss when they went up the mountain and use these labors for free to help cut moso bamboo and save it for later use?
After the man cut down the moso bamboo, Liang Chuan asked He Baozheng to summon all the bamboo weaving village girls to gather under the camphor tree!
After the man's task was completed, Liang Chuan asked the corps leader to lead his team members to start practicing the formation. Just now, the team members were laughing at the corps leader's bearish behavior while practicing the formation. Now he has to experience this feeling. Don't look at it. It's easy to turn left, turn right, stand at attention and take a breath. New recruits need to practice for several months after joining the army. The corps commanders are now back on their feet. They did a little bit poorly in various actions, such as greeting family members, slapping and kicking them, but they themselves couldn't do it well either. There was nothing they could do. They were corps commanders, and they would be punished if they didn't obey. Just like Chen Fuqiang.
Chen Fuqiang is currently staying in the team because of his fortune. He can't be convinced, and he can't beat others. There are sixteen teams, and slogans of one, two, three, and four come and go, and each team has its own style.
Liang Chuan ordered these women to start repairing the bamboo poles. The head of each moso bamboo is removed instead of the root, leaving the branches and leaves at the top of the bamboo. The total length of the head and tail is almost ten feet and five feet, and the total weight does not exceed ten kilograms, with seven or eight kilograms being the best. The top of the moso bamboo pole is sharpened with a knife to make it extremely sharp.
The bamboo branches under the bamboo pole have at least nine layers, extending outward layer by layer, like a big cattail fan. The branches on the moso bamboo must be carefully trimmed to make thorns, some straight and some down. Make sure that when you sweep it from any angle, you can remove a few strips of skin and flesh. These bamboo thorns are then ironed with fire to make them strong, and then filled with tung oil. The resulting moso bamboo pole is called Langzhen for short, and its creator is the famous Qi Jiguang.
Normally, poison is applied to the bamboo thorns of langzhan, but now time is tight, where can I buy poison? Liang Chuan asked Fengying to take these women to several villages to collect feces, and bake the collected feces on the fire until it bubbles. This kind of feces is commonly known as golden juice. Don't underestimate this kind of golden juice. This is an indispensable artifact for city defense. When the hot golden juice is poured on the soldiers attacking the city, it will burn through the skin and flesh, and then it will start to fester and become inflamed. Anyone who is touched by gold juice will end up very miserable.
Dip the bamboo thorns into the golden juice. What poison is needed? As long as it scratches and stabs the enemy, the wound will definitely start to become inflamed, which can range from illness to death. It is simply a nuclear weapon of the world.
The village girls covered their noses while handling the moso bamboos, and they all complained incessantly. Liang Chuan really wanted to come out and soak the moso bamboos in feces. What could he do?
Liang Chuan looked at these finished wolf bamboo thorns. The bamboo thorns shone with a strange luster, and he felt a little hairy. They were full of germs. He repeatedly warned these women to be careful and not to be injured by these thorns, otherwise their lives would be lost.
What weapons do the mountain people have? No matter how powerful their weapons are, can they be stronger than the samurai swords of the Japanese devils? Although the samurai swords are sharp, they can only stare when they encounter the chopped branches of moso bamboo. Even if the mountain people have spears, no matter how long the spear is, it can grow. Do you want this five-foot-long wolf trap? The team members took this big killer weapon and stabbed it randomly. The sharp bamboo head in front of it was worse than being stabbed by a knife.
