Hongzhou, on the other side.
To the north of the river, the Jinyun family opened up this place as a new stronghold. A large number of people were sent to do spring plowing. A small part of the methods used were intensive farming with ox-drawn plows, and most of them were slash-and-burn farming. This method The victory lies in opening up a vast area without restrictions, so we sow seeds in the sky and sit on the ground to harvest grain.
Because this land has been affected by wars several times... It's really wars. Originally, the tribes in the north of Jiangshui used slash and burn farming in the early years before plows were popularized. Land was set on fire everywhere. Later, Yu Meng led his people to establish an outpost observation station, opened up some land, and used intensive farming. However, before withdrawing, another fire was set...
In the past few years, the burning has stopped, and it will burn almost every few years. Thick natural fertilizers have accumulated on this land, but it has also caused trees to no longer grow in many places, leaving only weeds. It is overgrown, and although the soil is sufficient, from a distance it really looks like a remote place.
The Jinyun clan is preparing to fight a protracted war with the Hongzhou people.
"It was originally planned to decide the winner before spring plowing, but I didn't expect that Hongzhou turned out to be a stone with spikes. My teeth are so good, even one bite broke out several teeth..."
Taotie sat on a stone and stared blankly at the other side of the river.
This is the place closest to Hongzhou in the river. You can even see some little black people dancing on the waterside of Hongzhou.
Due to the rising water level in the past few years, compared with the time when Xu'ao people could directly see people making gestures on the other side of the river, it is still much further away. Moreover, according to the rising rate of water level, the low-lying shores on both sides will be submerged one by one and become the river. part of the waterway.
A lot of things happened during this period. Boyangai, a great alchemist from the Dongyi region who originally came to help him, changed his expression several times after seeing the slip sent by a three-headed bird, and finally ended up with an extremely lame statement. reasons to leave the war directly...
The reason Boyang Gai used at that time was that a relative at home had crawled out of the soil and was running around now. He had to go back and see this strange thing.
Taotie wondered at that time, are your relatives doing sit-ups in the ground?
It has been buried for hundreds of years, and the bones are rotten. Can you still crawl out?
So a great qigong master left, and Taotie would never know that the reason why Boyangai ran away was because the three-headed bird brought news about red pine nuts.
Chi Songzi and him were old friends. Of course, when Chi Songzi sent this message, it was a long time ago. At that time, he had not gone to Kongtong Mountain to find Guang Chengzi, so of course Chi Songzi would not know that Boyangai was helping Jinyun clan attack Hongzhou.
But Boyengai felt very ashamed. Although his incompetent scoundrel caused trouble and made him come here, Chisongzi talked about some trivial matters in Hongzhou in the slips and said that he would invite him to come when he was free in the future. Sitting down, this matter made Boyangai very embarrassed.
So Boyangai gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and became cruel, thinking that his apprentice was useless, so he would just open another account and practice again, but it was absolutely impossible to kill relatives and friends, so he ran away.
They lost a lot of combat power, and during this period of time, the Jinyun clan launched several strong attacks on Hongzhou. However, due to the problem of the river, they were unable to overcome it. Although the goddess of the river was cursed, she could not come out for a short time. To cause trouble, the many strange weapons in Hongzhou are also an important factor in making Taotie's scalp numb.
Taotie's expression was distorted. He sat on the bank of the river with his rice bowl, staring at Hongzhou with his head raised, wearing a mask of pain.
When you stare at Hongzhou, Hongzhou is also staring at you...
"Has the big ship been built yet?"
Watching the leader of his family, Taotie, sitting on the edge of the river anxiously cooking every day, he was about to turn into a "rice stone"...
The roe owl responded immediately: "It's almost there. We'll be able to go into the water in about ten days."
Taotie nodded after hearing this. During this period, he had been staring at Hongzhou. He planned to use his peaceful life to confuse and paralyze the people of Hongzhou, and secretly he was going to build several large ships to cross the river.
"I launch an attack every few days, sending a certain number of warriors across the river, so that the Hongzhou people will continue to defeat them and win. This is also to make the Hongzhou people look down on us, so that we can better cover up our plans."
Roe Owl immediately liked:
"What the big leader said is absolutely true! We can't defeat the opponent anyway, so we might as well just use the waste..."
Taotie almost choked to death with a mouthful of rice.
If your mother can't speak, just stop talking. What does it mean to be invincible?
"The Hongzhou people are just relying on their advantages in equipment and terrain. When we cross the river, Jinyun's warriors are so brave. Will they lose to these semi-primitive people from Hongzhou!"
Taotie was so angry that he stuck his rice bowl on the ground. Roe Owl thought that he is so powerful, but if you call him a semi-primitive, then we can't even defeat semi-primitives. Are we still living in the early Paleolithic Age?

Wu Zhuang sat on a wooden stool, holding up a monocular and looking at the gluttons on the other side who were cooking.
"The pain of looking at him every day makes all the unpleasantness of my day disappear. Some people like to fish to pass the time, and some fish like to watch fishermen fishing to pass the time."
She yawned and squinted her eyes, feeling that something was strange recently.
Although the Jinyun clan tried to attack every two days, the frequency of their attacks was too rhythmic.
At this time, Hongzhou has also entered the period of spring plowing. During this period, everyone has a truce and everything is very peaceful, because both the fishing and hunting tribes and the farming tribes have to tidy up the fish ponds and carry out agricultural activities when spring comes. of.
There are busy figures everywhere, and the tidal flat of this river has been built into a military position. Earthen walls are everywhere, crossbow platforms have been built, and the Imperial Thunder Formation has been rearranged in the tidal flat area to the east. But Taotie never came from that direction again after he was knocked unconscious after being bombed for the first time, which disappointed some people.
Not far away in Mangman Wilderness, this arsenal that was once flooded and abandoned has been reused. After the last flood, a large ruin was left, but the general outline was not damaged. Therefore, because The land resurfaced and became wild, and the war continued to lengthen, so the abandoned production line could continue to produce.
"I think this recent movement is not right. They are looking for trouble every three days. Although we all win, not many people on the other side died."
"This is not like a war of attrition, nor is it like looking for an opportunity, because the opponent does not have a large force to follow up. According to my rich combat experience, if something goes wrong, there will be a trap..."
In the arsenal, Huang Di is making a fire weapon. Huang Di himself used to be a master of alchemy, or simply a chemistry teacher...
According to the ratio of Yijun's black gunpowder, Huangdi discovered something more interesting.
In discussions with people around him, the recent situation of the Jinyun clan made Huang Di always feel that something was not normal.
He thought about the past when he was beaten by Chi You in various traps and tricks, and he became resistant to being beaten frequently. At this time, he already felt that something was unusual.
So that night, Huang Di carried a bunch of explosive bags in one hand and a small shovel in the other, and began to drift across the river...
