Chapter 694: Backup Plan

More than an hour later, a pile of fragmented wooden components was piled up in the middle of the clearing. Gao Muqing, Liang Qi and the others stared at those round and crooked wooden components stupidly. Liang Qi asked stupidly: "Is the military advisor holding the bath bucket?" ”

This sentence almost didn't make Lin Jue depressed to death. However, when you look at the components on the ground, it does look like you are going to hoop a big wooden barrel.

"Brother Liang, if this is a wooden barrel, it is not a wooden barrel for bathing, but a soul bucket that kills people." Lin Jue said with a smile.

These words made everyone even more curious, and Lin Jue beckoned more than a dozen craftsmen to come forward and personally guide them to assemble the pieces of components. A strangely shaped octagonal horn gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision.

It is about six feet long and more than three feet in diameter, and if it is erected, it does look like a large wooden barrel with a unique shape. However, the inside is not hollow, and there are several horizontal boards in the middle, and a wooden road is connected in the middle. There are dozens of circular holes densely punched on the transverse plate, about an inch wide. Several partition holes are connected and are located opposite each other. Extremely finely done.

"This ...... What the hell is it? "Everybody's confused.

Lin Jue smiled and said: "Soon you will know, there is still a lot of work to be done, you don't have to wait here to see, when everything is ready, I will let you know how good it is." ”

Everyone had no choice but to shut up and not ask. Lin Jue carefully inspected and polished the octagonal horn again, and ordered someone to take a bundle of iron-tipped arrows and compare them into the horn. In this way, everyone seems to understand a little. Emotions are used to shoot arrows. But with such a cylindrical thing and no bowstring, how can the arrow be fired? I don't know why, I don't know what to say.

Soon after, someone came to report that the lord of Ruan Zhai had brought a messenger from Heifeng Village under the mountain to deliver a letter. Gao Muqing and Liang Qi hurriedly asked Lin Jue to go and take a look, but Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "You go to see it, I don't have kung fu at the moment." Presumably it was Qin Donghe who promised to fight with us. You just go and do a little perfunctory. ”

Gao Muqing had no choice but to take Liang Qi and others to meet people. Half an hour later, Gao Muqing and Liang Qi returned to the open space behind the hall with grim faces, looking very nervous.

"Where's the Strategist?" Gao Muqing looked around and didn't see Lin Jue, so he asked the craftsman next to him.

"I'm here." Lin Jue poked his head out of the horn, and his head was full of sawdust.

"If you want to polish the inside, I have to do it myself." Lin Jue retracted his head, holding a cloth bag filled with fine sand in his hand, 'hulahula', and vigorously polished the components and wooden strips on the wall inside.

Gao Muqing was speechless, squatted down and shouted inside: "Come out, I have something to tell you." ”

Lin Jue's urn sounded: "You say it, I can hear it." ”

Gao Muqing frowned and said helplessly: "Things have changed...... Qin Donghe sent someone to deliver a letter, and he had a new trick. Our plan ......"

The sound of hula grinding paused.

"They turned down our challenge?" Lin Jue asked.

"No, they accepted it, but they ...... They refused to fight in the valley of the wild goose, and asked us to go down the mountain and face them in the valley of Pheasant Ridge to the south. What do you say? Gao Muqing said in a low voice.

"I think they refused. They just accept it. Under Pheasant Ridge

Valley? It's also a good place to fight. Well, you can reply to them. Three days later, the pheasant ridge went down to the battle. But for three days, they were not allowed to harass and attack. Lin Jue said angrily.

"What? Can this be promised? Strategist, we heard you right. Liang Qi exclaimed in astonishment.

Lin Jue poked his head out again and said with a disgraced face: "I heard you right." Fighting to the death in the valley below Pheasant Ridge is exactly what I wanted. Just reply to them. ”

Gao Muqing smacked his lips and said, "Can you discuss it with us?" Don't keep tinkering with this stuff. Plans have changed, and you're still kidding. How can the plan we discussed be implemented? How to fight in the Pheasant Ridge Valley, but how to attack with water? I'm dying. ”

Lin Jue reluctantly climbed out of the barrel, stretched out his hand and slapped his body, and the smoke and dust suddenly rose everywhere. Several people around coughed.

"Mu Qing, Brother Liang, I forgot to tell you, I changed my mind." Lin Jue said with a smile.

"Changed your mind? What do you mean? Gao Muqing looked at him in surprise.

Lin Jue smiled: "It means that I don't plan to use the means of destroying the embankment to retreat from the enemy." I thought about it, one thing, that would be too much of a loss to my Luoyan Valley, and it would take too much time to rebuild. The washed out soil cannot be restored, and the valley will not be able to recover for at least two or three years, and the cost is too great. Moreover, this year will also miss the agricultural season and delay the cultivation, and this year there will be a famine in the mountains. Then we're in even more trouble. Second, under the flood, no one was spared. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and this method cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise I am afraid of being punished by God. ”

Everyone stared at Lin Jue blankly, the military advisor really had two layers of skin in his mouth, and it was up to him to live or die. In the morning, it was said that man will conquer the sky, and if the valley was washed away, the clouds could be rebuilt as long as there were people, but now it is said that the cost is too great. In the morning, he said that he couldn't be kind to women, and now he said that God has the virtue of a good life, and the idea of the military advisor has really become fast.

"How can you say that change is change? It's been fine in the morning, why did you change your hexagram? Gao Muqing said angrily.

Lin Jue smiled: "Mu Qing, it's not that I'm fickle, but because the plan in the morning actually can't work, and they won't take the bait." In fact, you should also understand that Qin Donghe will definitely reject our proposal. If it were you, the other party's strength was far inferior to yours, but he was suddenly invited to fight you, wouldn't you doubt it? Qin Donghe is not a fool either, how could he be easily fooled? ”

Gao Muqing smiled bitterly: "You already knew that he would refuse?" And still keep us in the dark? ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this, I just weighed the two plans." The war is true, but the implementation of the plan depends on the actual situation. He refused to fight in the valley, so he fought at the foot of Pheasant Ridge as he intended. The plan went on as usual, but with a different backup plan. ”

Gao Muqing frowned and said, "In this case, how can you fight with them?" They are five times as strong as ours, so are they really going to fight hard? I don't understand. ”

Lin Jue laughed, pointed to the octagonal cylinder beside him and said, "Are you really busy with me?" If he dares to fight us, he will lose. No matter where you are, the result is the same. ”

Gao Muqing looked at the strange-looking horn and said, "Just this thing?" I don't even know what it does. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "You just have to believe me, go and reply to the messenger, sue."

Tell him that our Wild Goose Army will fight them to the death in the Pheasant Ridge Valley in three days' time. The battle is won or lost, and there is no retreat. I'll take care of the rest. ”

Gao Muqing, Liang Qi and the others looked at each other, Lin Jue smiled, bent down and continued to get into the horn, and soon after, the sound of stabbing and grinding continued to sound. Gao Muqing sighed, turned around and left. Liang Qi caught up and said, "Lord of the village, what should I do?" Do you really do what the military advisor says? ”

Gao Muqing gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, although I don't understand what he is doing, I have absolute confidence in him. If I don't even believe him, who else can I believe? ”

……

For two days in a row, the hustle and bustle in the open space behind the Justice Hall has not stopped. Lin Jue led hundreds of people to work day and night, carefully crafting, and one by one the octagonal horns were manufactured. Lin Jue was meticulous in polishing and assembling as if he was treating his own child. Gao Muqing and the others didn't dare to disturb, but they couldn't help. I had to stare at him and watch him go back and forth.

However, for all the officers and men of the Luoyan Army, the enemy did not attack in the past two days, giving them a great opportunity to recover their strength. The military advisor passed down the order, and everyone must eat, sleep, and eat, and not waste physical strength and energy. The guards on the fortifications were left to monitor the enemy's situation, and the rest of the men were recuperating. Of course, the fatigue of the Luoyan Army cannot be recovered in three or two days, but with these three or two days of good food and sleep, it is an opportunity for them to refresh their physical strength and spirit, which is naturally very beneficial.

On the morning of the third day, work was stopped on the construction site behind the Juyi Hall. A total of 15 octagonal horns were completed. Lin Jue ordered people to cover them with black cloths, and sent people to guard them closely, and no one was allowed to touch or approach. Then, the intense labor entered the indoor phase.

In the morning, Lin Jue called Qin Chuncao and ordered her to carry all the iron-headed arrows in the warehouse in the village to the Juyi Hall. This iron-tipped arrow is a precious thing. There are less than 2,000 cottages in the whole. That was still obtained by the way when the bluestone robbery equipment, and there was no hard bow suitable for iron-headed arrows in the cottage. Therefore, when the cottage arrows were in short supply, they were preserved.

The mystery was revealed layer by layer, and at this moment, everyone understood that the thing that the military advisor was busy with was indeed a device for firing bows and arrows. But how to shoot arrows out of the cylinder is something that people can't figure out.

"Strategist, don't sell off, you know? I haven't been able to sleep well these days, and my heart is like a cat, but don't torture us. Liang Qi pleaded with Lin Jue.

Lin Jue laughed, turned his head and asked Qin Chuncao, "Master Qinzhai, where are the few big wooden boxes I asked you to carry up when you went up the mountain?" ”

"The military advisor, the military advisor said that he would take strict care, so I ordered someone to carry the box to the secret room at the side of the righteous hall. and the gold and silver of our cottage are put together. Qin Chuncao hurriedly replied.

"Okay, let's take a look. Don't take candles and torches, just carry lanterns. Lin Jue said with a smile.

Everyone was suspicious and surrounded Lin Jue and Gao Muqing in front of a stone gate in the east. Qin Chuncao took out the key from his waist, and after unlocking the door, several people pushed hard and pushed the heavy stone door open, and inside was a dense and airtight small room with a radius of several zhang. Under the illumination of the lantern, it can be seen that there are some gold, silver, jewelry and copper coins piled up in the corner of the wall, and the number is not much, it seems that it will not exceed 20,000 taels. There is a huge village, and there is only such a little gold and silver treasure, which is indeed a poor jingle ring.
