On the ship, you can burn at most a beach area. If you want to burn through Yingdao, you must set foot on land.
When you set foot on land, you have to stretch the supply line very long. The longer it is, the more factors there are for accidents and the higher the risk. The advantage is that it continuously compresses the activity space of the thieves.
The four armies set foot on land almost on the same day, and Chu Qing's group was the first to land.
Chu Qing took out a mask sewn together with three layers of gauze scarf from his arms and hung it on his face, covering the lower half of his face.
The masks were made by the Mohists working overtime, and they have similar functions to the masks of later generations.
For this battle, Chu Qing thought of everything he could think of.
When you burn a fire, there will be thick smoke, which will cause damage to the body. Although the mask cannot completely filter the harmful substances in the thick smoke, it is at least better than not wearing it at all.
They are all black masks with different patterns.
Chu Qing's mask is half a skull, painted by a masterful artist, the cuttlefish. The skinless and fleshless lower half of the face is hideous and lifelike.
Tao Shaozhang's mask has no pattern, just a big "正" character.
The second son of the Fu family cannot draw, but he can write. Fu Yongkang's mask has two characters, "wine and lust", and Fu Baobao means "wealth".
The paintings of other troops are also messy, like children's graffiti.
A total of 666 people disembarked this time. In order to achieve good luck, Chu Qing also considered other factors.
There were more than six hundred people, neither more nor less, carrying a large number of gunpowder crossbows, portable packs of fierce fire oil, and two hundred flying wings.
As long as they are not surrounded from all sides, they can evacuate quickly. When encountering small groups of troops, they can fight and retreat even in close combat.
Wang Tongtong is like a monkey, jumping up and down. He can't write clearly. He is a good at exploring terrain and drawing maps.
Chu Qing walked along the outside of the woods with his hands behind his back, as if on a picnic.
I still want to praise Fu Yongkang's "right strategy" for the nth time. Chu Qing now kisses the big tree whenever he sees it.
The ancients were good at this. They did not destroy the natural environment wantonly, and they did not have the ability to destroy the environment wantonly.
It was rare for Chu Qing to gather so many people to chop down trees like before, unless it was to build a city.
There is a city here, but not many. The trees grow leisurely, tall and dense, making it easy to set fires.
In order to kill thieves and destroy the environment, Chu Qing didn't even think about it. It would be better if the island sank. It's not like in the future, some environmentally friendly girl who looks like she'd be slapped in the face with a frying pan will pop up.
Besides, it's useless even if this thing jumps out. With Chu Qing's strength and the environmental protection of a girl, he can make people beat this kid into a Guinea baboon.
Tan Ma is back, Yingdao is a good place, with mountains, water, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees!
Maps were also sent back, three of them, covering a radius of thirty miles.
Thirty miles, at least ten miles are covered with trees.
Chu Qing was like a hard-working designer, frowning, very serious, and sincerely wanted to make life smooth for his dear Japanese thieves.
"Here, here, here."
Chu Qing clicked on three places in succession: "Sprinkle strong fire oil on these locations, seal them well, and make sure they will not be ignited by other natural factors. When we come back, we will ignite them again, leaving a retreat here to reach this mountain." When the time comes, Tan Ma will continue to march for twenty miles."
Everyone got busy.
Fu Baobao's "middle strategy" just provides an idea. From a macro perspective, it is very easy to abandon it, but there must be a special one.
If it can be done "on the ground", all details need to be considered.
It seems that there are many people landing on the island this time, but they are actually divided into four armies. If you look at it from a bird's eye view, the four armies are actually four "lines". The "footprints" of these four lines are the same if they want to cover the entire island. Idiots talk about dreams.
Therefore, we need to use the power of wind and fire to make this line "thick".
When this line becomes "thick", "points" are used to form a "face".
This is a delicate job that requires professionals with overall overall situation to conduct on-site inspections and formulate detailed arson plans.
Therefore, Chu Qing has matched corresponding talents in each team, including those who can fight and those who use their brains. The most professional one is definitely Chen Dinglan's team, with Wang Tianyu there.
At night, we went deep into the north side and marched forty-five miles.
Except for the first fire he lit just after landing, Chu Qing never set another fire within forty-five miles, but only put down about 70% of the fierce fire oil he carried.
Crouching under a big tree that only three people could hug together, Chu Qing put down Qianli Mu.
"Village."
Just two words, village, the village of Japanese thieves.
Chu Qing didn't want to say more, and didn't dare to say more.
He encountered the situation he least expected to encounter, and the situation he would definitely encounter.
Cuiyu sighed, and the third brother glared at him fiercely.
Sigh, it’s not allowed!
Because there are people in the village, because there are women, old people, and children in the village, but these people are born with original sin. They are Japanese thieves. There are no people, only thieves, and they are Japanese thieves.
"Master?" The third brother glanced sideways at Chu Qing.
"kill."
A gentle word "kill", without any hesitation, at least not on the face, nor dared to have it.
The third brother turned back with a cold face: "There are less than three hundred enemy thieves. Wang Tongtong led his people to a high place and threw the flying wings into the village. Twelve gunpowder arrows were fired from three directions..."
Cuiyu frowned and interrupted: "We are all unarmed ordinary people, why do we need to spend gunpowder crossbows?"
The third brother lowered his voice after all: "Is it possible that you want to go head-to-head and insert knives into the chests of those women and children?"
Cuiyu kept silent and looked incomprehensible.
Unexpectedly, Liao Wenzhi's face suddenly became filled with grief.
"Let's fight hand to hand. People who have no fighting ability don't need to use gunpowder crossbows."
Liao Wenzhi's eyes were red and he couldn't bear it: "Sooner or later, sooner or later, sooner or later, sooner or later, we are going to suffer this. Why not let the troops adapt earlier. Alas, the poor Japanese thieves have suffered an unreasonable disaster."
Liao Wenzhi stood up: "Thousands of faults are my fault alone. If it is karma, it will be on me. I will issue this military order."
Having said this, Liao Wenzhi had already drawn the sword from his waist, turned around, looked at the more than 600 troops behind him, and then waved his arms: "Kill with me, leave no chickens or dogs behind, kill these idiots." !”
Chu Qing was stunned, and Liao Wenzhi was the first to rush out. He seemed to be crying, but with that look, that temperament, that ferocious face, he...how did he shed tears?
Chu Qing saw hesitation on the faces of many soldiers.
He had thought about this situation.
Seeing that the two fools of the Fu family were about to rush out, Chu Qing quickly stopped them.
"Don't go, protect me with your third brother."
The two Fu family members looked at each other stupidly, not quite understanding what they could protect here, and there were no enemies or thieves around.
Chu Qing was not afraid of enemy thieves, but of "his own people."
In many movies of later generations, the tragic male protagonists who were soldiers went abroad to fight, and then their superiors ordered them to kill innocent people indiscriminately. The male protagonists disobeyed the military orders. The more cowardly ones did not follow the orders and ran away. The more stubborn ones were killed directly by their superiors. .
Chu Qing didn't think he was the hero, but he didn't want any of the soldiers around him to act like the hero. In a hurry, he would be killed for disobeying military orders.
Fortunately for him, he was no longer taught something that was taught to the military, war.
