Chapter 28: If You Are Poor, Go Around and Penetrate Him; if You Are Rich, Blow Him Up!

In the Chu army's frontline camp, Long Qie was making arrangements.

"Let the people below dig more holes. If the sky thunder is not enough, just bury another sky thunder every few holes."

"Let the people at the rear send more better charcoal, otherwise we won't be able to detonate it."

Long Qie made more detailed arrangements,

Because although their army is large in number, most of them are relatively low-level civilians who have not read much.

After all, they don't have so much money and energy to waste on these people.

For the third- and fourth-class people, just instill the concept of loyalty into them.

Leave other matters to these superior people,

This has also caused some problems. These people will obey orders very well and have good morale.

But there is no way to really do things independently.

They all need nobles of higher rank to lead them.

Of course, they don't think it's a bad thing, because in this way, the possibility of these people rebelling will be minimized.

If this were not the case, the Chu State would have only had more than 40,000 people when they first arrived in this area.

There is simply no way to control such a large area.

Soon Longju made arrangements, and the messenger went to convey the order.

But not long after, a messenger came to his camp again and said,

"General, our charcoal burns too slowly, the time is difficult to control, and it always likes to go out. What should we do?"

After hearing the question, Long Qie couldn't help but sighed slightly and said,

"If charcoal is not easy to use, just dig the tunnel wider, lay it with fire-kindling materials, and just start the fire directly."

The messenger left again, but returned not long after. Long Qie asked with a bit of impatience,

"what happened again?"

The messenger soon returned,

"General, please report below. If you use ignition materials, you will be discovered by the Qin army..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Long Qie said with a bit of impatience,

"What does it matter if we find out? Our purpose is to delay the Qin army's attack and create obstacles for them!"

“As long as we can achieve this goal, it doesn’t matter what method we use!”

Seeing Long Qie losing his temper, the messenger immediately retreated with some fear,

"It seems that I can't do it without studying."

After the messenger left, Long Qie said with a bit of irritation.

In their frontline camp, there are not many high-level people, and there are still too few scholars.

Just after he finished speaking, the messenger appeared at the door again with a bit of panic,

Long Qie couldn't bear it and said,

"Can't you do something yourself?"

The messenger stammered at this time, pointed to heaven, and said,

"General, heaven! A monster appears in the sky!."

"No, no, a god appeared."

There are still many local people who believe in it.

After hearing this, Long Qie suddenly looked solemn and walked outside quickly.

Then he looked up,

Then I saw a huge, swollen sphere with fire coming from underneath and a basket of strange things hanging from it.

is slowly approaching them from the sky,

Longju couldn't help but blurt out,

"Sky lantern?"

He had already heard Overlord talk about this thing. When they arrived here from the south more than ten years ago,

Seeing that the Qin army fought with the natives in the south, the Qin army used this weapon.

After that, they also wanted to get information about this thing from many sources.

But they didn't get much useful information,

And now this thing appeared so clearly in front of his eyes,

At this time, other Chu troops in the entire camp also discovered something in the sky.

Most people involuntarily showed a look of horror and shouted from time to time,

"This is a god!"

Only high-level people who have read books don’t think this thing is a god.

Because they have long said in their books that gods are just thoughts in people’s hearts,

For example, in Da Qin, people who have made contributions to the people and the country will be commemorated and worshiped as gods.

It is more to inspire future generations to learn from them, rather than saying that these people have the so-called power of gods.

But even so, they were still a little scared when they saw this scene.

Long Qie took a deep breath and said,

"This is not a god, it is a weapon of the Qin people."

"Come here, bring out the crossbows!"

Soon his personal guards moved in the few crossbows in the camp. After setting them up,

Long Qie said without the slightest hesitation,

"shooting!"

Soon a straight crossbow arrow flew into the sky.

However, the crossbow arrow did not hit the opponent, but fortunately the opponent retreated quickly.

A burst of cheers soon came up in the camp,

"We fought off the monster!"

But Long Qie’s expression became extremely ugly,

Because in this case, the situation in their entire camp would fall into the eyes of the Qin army.

You will be at a disadvantage in future battles,

At this time, on the flying ink lamp in mid-air, the Qin army in charge of observation had already shouted,

"The enemy's crossbow attacks, the attack range is within one hundred feet! The angle deviation is large, no need to change direction!"

"But it is recommended to retreat first."

The flying ink lanterns they brought out this time were not many, only ten sorties.

There are also some materials for repair and replenishment. .

It's still relatively precious.

And in order to detect the situation, their height is not too high and they may be shot down.

They were unsure of the range of the opponent's crossbow, so naturally they didn't want to take the risk.

Qin Jun, another person in charge of recording, muttered to himself while writing,

"It is found that the enemy has crossbows and may be carrying explosives, so be prepared."

"The enemy is digging large-scale holes in the distance. It is recommended to pass through as soon as possible."

His mission is to lead this journey. Write down all the information you see.

Then give suggestions to make the best preparations for the army's attack,

After getting the information, Commander Feitian Modeng quickly chose to retreat.

The most important thing is to send the information back first.

Soon the information was placed on Wang Li's command table. After reading it, he couldn't help but say,

"These Chu troops really treat themselves like mice. It's really inconvenient for us to attack later by digging so many holes."

Apart from anything else, even if gunpowder is not placed in the pothole, it will easily cause damage.

Just look at the pits dug by the Qin army on the edge of the Great Wall. Nowadays, herdsmen fall into them from time to time and injure their legs.

Hu Hai on the side said carelessly,

"What's this? Let the Feitian Ink Lantern blow him up!"

Did he remember Brother Lang said,

If you are poor, go around and penetrate him; if you are rich, blow him up!

Wang Li's eyes lit up at this time, and he thought they were pretty good, so he quickly ordered,

"Dispatch five Feitian Mo Lanterns, bring the "Justice" grenades, and blow them up hard for this general!" "

We can't use unscrupulous cannons, and we have to save the resources of kerosene.

Then we can only use these huge quantities of grenades,

Anyway, there are still a lot of Daqin caravans on this road, so don’t worry too much.

Thinking of this, Wang Li seemed to understand why his Majesty did not prohibit the caravan from doing business with the Chu army.

Of course, these are all things for later.

Soon, five flying ink lanterns rose again in the Qin Army camp, but this time they flew very high.

Not long after, Long Qie received the news again and walked outside the camp.

Looking at the sky lantern in the sky, he couldn't help but frown and said,

"Do we need so many sky lanterns to check the situation? And they fly so high."

But in the next moment, he seemed to vaguely see something falling from the lamp that day.
