Chapter 148: Turning Point
The Military Affairs Agency's proposal to expand the army was rejected, and the meeting was in a predicament.
Ouyang Shuo broke the deadlock and said, "Since the army is limited, then we can only start from other aspects. In any case, we are the defender of the city, and we have a geographical advantage. The most important thing at the moment is to strengthen the preparation of materials for defending the city, and fierce fire oil, rolling logs, and boulders are all indispensable. ”
Ouyang Shuo turned his head to look at Tian Wenjing and said, "The Material Reserve Department wants to contact the quarry and the lumber yard, so that they can put down their work in the past two days and concentrate on preparing a batch of rolling logs and boulders to be transported to the city wall." ”
Tian Wenjing nodded, indicating that he understood. In fact, when the city wall of Shanhai Town was completed, the Material Reserve Department had already set up a special warehouse near the city wall to store rolling logs and boulders.
Shi Wansui heard the adults mention the fierce fire oil, and asked, "My lord, but you want to arrange the fierce fire oil array again?" ”
In the monster siege battle three months ago, it was the fierce fire oil array arranged with fierce fire oil that played a decisive role, so Shi Wansui was so impressed.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "The fierce fire oil array is too rigid, it is okay to use it against clumsy beasts, but it will not work at all if you want to use it against cunning rogues." The fierce fire oil array is too conspicuous to hide from the eyes of the rogue, they will not be fooled, we don't even have a chance to ignite the fierce fire oil array. Even if the blind cat encounters the dead rat and hides it, once the fierce fire oil array is ignited, the rogue can retreat calmly, and wait until the fierce fire oil is burned out, and then attack again, they are not those beasts with tendons. ”
"So, what do you mean?" Shi Wansui asked puzzled.
Ouyang Shuo didn't sell it either, and said with a smile: "To use fierce fire oil, in addition to arranging the fierce fire oil array, there is a more flexible way, that is, the fierce fire oil cabinet." ”
"Fierce Fire Oil Tank?"
"Not bad." Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to explain to everyone the principle and function of the fierce fire oil tank.
Fierce fire oil tank, the earliest fire-breathing appliance in ancient China. It uses fierce fire oil as fuel, uses boiled copper as the cabinet, has 4 feet under it, and has 4 copper pipes on it, and the pipe is transversely placed on the pump, which communicates with the oil tank, and fills about 1.5 kg of oil each time. The front part of the pump is equipped with a "fire tower", which contains the ignition powder.
When firing, the ignition powder in the "fire tower" is ignited with a red-hot cone, and then the pump is pulled vigorously to compress air into the oil tank, so that when the fierce fire hole is sprayed out through the "fire tower", it ignites when it is heated and becomes a flame, which is used to burn the enemy and burn the fighting equipment.
In addition to this, there is also a small flamethrower used in city defense and water warfare, and a copper hoist is used instead of an oil tank to facilitate carrying, moving.
Fan Zhongyan, who was born in the Northern Song Dynasty, has a deep understanding of the fierce fire oil tank, and said worriedly: "This idea of the adults looks good. However, I am afraid that it will be too late in time, and second, we do not have gunpowder to ignite, so I am afraid that it will not work. ”
Ouyang Shuo nodded approvingly and said, "What Mr. said is very reasonable. I didn't expect to make a lot of units, so after the meeting, I went to the market to buy the "Technical Manual for the Manufacture of Fierce Fire Oil Tanks", and asked the weapons workshop to work overnight, so that I could make two before the rogue attacked. This kind of large-scale killing weapon, mainly used to deal with the siege equipment of the rogues, two are enough. As for the problem of gunpowder, I think there is a way to solve it whether it is Ge Daochang of Qingyang Guan or Magnus of the alchemy workshop. All we needed was a little primer, and the amount was very small, and they must have it in stock. ”
Fan Zhongyan suddenly said with a smile: "The adults are thoughtful, and the subordinates admire it." ”
To solve the matter of defending the city's materials, Ouyang Shuo began to discuss the problem of logistics support with everyone.
This time, the rogue attacked the city, and the target was naturally the base camp. The direction of the main attack of the Liukou will also be to the west and north. Especially after the construction of a moat in the north, Ouyang Shuo predicted that the main direction of attack of the Liukou would be to the west. On the west side of Shanhai Town, there are many settlements. Before the outbreak of war, all the inhabitants of the settlements had to be relocated to the city for temporary purposes in order to ensure their safety.
Ouyang Shuo handed over this major project to the Administration Bureau.
In addition to immigration, the formation of a civilian team and a medical team is also urgent. The last monster siege was nothing compared to this siege. The civilian team and the medical team must be formed in advance, properly trained, and must also go to the city walls to carry out adaptive training, and there must be no sloppiness.
Ouyang Shuo handed over this major project to the Material Reserve Bureau.
After the arrangements were made, Ouyang Shuo announced the adjournment of the meeting. As for the specific tactical arrangements, they are not suitable for discussion at a military-political meeting, and a special military conference needs to be convened.
After the meeting, Ouyang Shuo called Yingyu to his office and asked her to contact Beihai Town to sell the sea salt in the first half of May in advance to obtain a sum of money for the transfer of soldiers.
After opening the alliance channel, only 140 gold coins were left of the 4,000 gold coins delivered by the Wolf Mountain Mine last time.
Fortunately, since the establishment of the Audit Department, the sea salt from the Beidu Salt Field no longer needs to be transported to the base camp for sale, and can be sold directly under the supervision of the Audit Department through the market in Beihai Town. By tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the base camp will receive the funds from the North Twilight Salt Works.
After sending Yingyu away, while there was still a little time, Ouyang Shuo went to the high-end market and spent 20 gold coins to buy a "Fierce Fire Oil Tank Manufacturing Technical Manual".
Then spend another 20 gold coins to purchase a batch of fierce fire oil.
Back at the Lord's Palace, it was already six o'clock in the evening. Ouyang Shuo handed over the "Technical Manual for the Manufacturing of Fierce Fire Oil Tanks" to the clerk Bai Nanpu, and asked him to send it to the weapon workshop overnight, and instructed Xu Kun, the head of the weapon workshop, to study it overnight and strive to start manufacturing it tomorrow.
After the explanation, Ouyang Shuo returned to the backyard and went offline to rest.
……
After going online the next day, Ouyang Shuo has been restless.
Because today is the town of Bangalore in India, the time to be tested by the system. Global lord players are silently watching the world announcement.
At this time, the most nervous person is not Ouyang Shuo, but Jack Dawson of the United States, and his Liberty Town will be tested by the system tomorrow. Once Bangalore Town makes the cut, then Jack Dawson will be in vain.
Ouyang Shuo endured the anxiety in his heart, and on the surface, he still sat calmly in the lord's mansion.
The war machine in Shanhai Town is already at full power and has begun to operate at full capacity.
Countless rolling logs and boulders were transported from the lumberyards and quarries outside the city to the city through wooden oxen and horses. Then, with the help of the Minfu team, they were transported to the city wall one by one.
The two infantry battalions of the large battalion in the west of the city have left the main camp and officially entered the city. Under the guidance of the city defense battalion, he became familiar with the various defense facilities of the city wall. As for the cavalry battalion and the city defense battalion of Shui Shui Town, they will not be stationed until tomorrow to minimize the defensive risk of the dependent territories.
The five Mengchong fighting ships of the first battalion of the North Sea Fleet have already sailed into the canyon and temporarily docked at the wharf of Shanhai Town. The War Readiness Division took advantage of this time to transport bundles of arrows to the warship.
In the same way, bundles of arrows were carried to the city walls.
Two three-bow and eight-ox bed crossbows have been installed in place on both sides of the West City Tower, and four ordinary bed crossbows are installed on both sides of the North City Tower. The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, under the leadership of Wang Yuanfeng, the head of the battalion, began to correct and shoot at each bed crossbow one by one.
Martial law has been issued in Shanhai Town, and all personnel, entering and exiting the city gate, must go through strict inspections to prevent the infiltration of the rogues in advance to the greatest extent. Tomorrow, when all the inhabitants of the settlement have moved into the city, a curfew will be imposed and the entire city will be allowed to enter and leave.
Under the leadership of the director Li Tie, the Department of Public Security strengthened patrols in the city and strictly investigated all small and minor incidents.
Until 5 p.m., there was no system announcement. Ouyang Shuo couldn't stand such a tense atmosphere anymore, and after a hurried explanation, he went offline early.
After going offline, Ouyang Shuo didn't go out of the room, directly turned on the light brain, and logged in to the game forum.
Sure enough, the forum in India was very lively, and all kinds of gossip and news were flying all over the sky.
"Bangalore Town is about to succeed, and the first county in the world is beckoning to Divara!!"
"Bangalore Town failed in defense and completely withdrew from the competition for the first county in the world!!"
"The tide of rogue is like a tide, and Devara admits that he is not prepared for it!!!"
"The last wave is coming, and it will be known whether Bangalore Town can successfully defend it!!!"
"The rogues are too cunning to use authentic tactics to successfully break through the defense line of Bangalore Town!!"
The messages on the forum, contradicting each other, do not know which is true and which is false. It seems that it is impossible to know the truth of the matter until the last moment.
At this time, Ouyang Shuo calmed down, he no longer paid attention to these gossip news, but began to cultivate the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Scripture" in the room.
After two days of cultivation, Ouyang Shuo's dantian already had eight traces of golden internal force. After going online yesterday, Ouyang Shuo has confirmed that a trace of golden internal force, in the game, represents a little internal force value.
He can now cultivate once a day, running a four-day cycle at a time, generating four strands of golden internal force. That is to say, under normal circumstances, it would take him twenty-five days to reach the full value of the first layer of one hundred internal forces. The difficulty of the cultivation of the emperor-level exercises can be seen in general, you know, this is only the first level.
Two hours later, Ouyang Shuo finished his work.
At this time, whether Bangalore Town succeeds or not, there should be definite news.
Ouyang Shuo logged on to the forum again, and the headline on the homepage of the Indian section was a huge bloody headline: Bangalore Town fell short, and Devara dreamed of being the first in the world.
Ouyang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, Shanhai Town finally ushered in a turnaround, and now in front of Shanhai Town, the only obstacle is Freedom Town, which will be tested tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
