In the final analysis, the alliance is still a little too weak.
For those military generals who have traveled around the world, the strength of the alliance is still not worth mentioning. They seem to be just a bunch of local chickens and dogs with a relatively large number of people. This is not much different from the bandits they have suppressed before, so it is not as good as
If you join a nearby city, you can become a deputy commander of the garrison, a military advisor, and so on.
After all, these generals usually learn military formations and have very high requirements for the soldiers under their command. Therefore, before they carry out the suppression of bandits, they will conduct special training for the newly recruited local warriors to ensure that they can at least put on a good posture.
The two formations fight, which is a crushing blow to the bandits and bandits who are of similar strength.
"Unless they are ambitious generals who want to train a strong army from scratch, it will be difficult for them to take a liking to our alliance.
But there is one thing to say, if these military generals did not have some real abilities in the future and their personal combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, we really don’t necessarily need them. After all, we are people who have experienced several military trainings. Simple daily training is still fun.
As for the art of war, we can’t say that we are completely proficient in it, but we can say that we have a little knowledge, and three cobblers can be as strong as Zhuge Liang. Players like us should be able to cobble together a qualified strategist.
"
Liu Xing took a sip of water, stood up and said: "Everyone, please prepare dry food and water. We will definitely not be able to come back before noon today, so we have to prepare food and drink. Of course, for the sake of safety, everyone still needs
Prepare a handy weapon to meet emergencies."
Due to the temporary addition of players from Heshan County, the number of manpower to investigate Tianshui Town reached double digits, so Baihe City also specially arranged three ox carts from home.
Bullock carts are actually more common means of transportation than horse-drawn carriages in many cases. After all, horses have been strategic materials for most of the period, and the load-bearing capacity of horses is definitely not as good as that of cattle of the same size.
Therefore, the ox cart is a common means of transportation among the people, because it has a wider range of applications than the horse cart, but the speed and explosive power are slightly worse, and if you ride directly, the image requirements are higher, so today's heroes still prefer it
horse.
Although the Bai family does have several horses, these horses are all of the horse breed, which are specially used to pull goods. The riding experience may not be as good as riding a cow directly, because these horses are too tall and ordinary.
People simply can't control it.
"One thing to say, I never thought that I could see heavy horses in this martial arts module! You must know that the horses in my family can be compared with the Shire horses in the real world. In other words, this horse
The height of the horse is directly over two and a half meters. It is difficult for me to get on the horse. As for dismounting without assistance, it is equivalent to jumping directly from a table. If you are not careful, you will have to twist.
foot."
Baihecheng complained to Liu Xing and Yin En on the bullock cart: "But this kind of horse looks really domineering, like a small tank. It's a pity that you let this kind of horse keep its feet on the ground and pull it all day long.
The car is okay, but if it is put on the battlefield, it may not be able to sprint for long before it has to stop; but then again, I still don’t know what kind of horses these horses belong to. You must know that in the real world, although we also have local heavy-duty horses,
Horses, but these horses all live in the northern region, and they are still not as good as the horses I saw in terms of size, so I suspect that this should be a self-created breed of the martial arts module."
"No, I remember that the Cthulhu Running Group game hall generally does not magically modify these ordinary animals, unless it is intended to turn these ordinary animals into mythical creatures." Liu Xing frowned and said: "And White River City, how about you?
You are also the head of the Bai family, so why don’t you even know what breeds these horses belong to? Aren’t your family members and employees willing to tell you directly? "
"Well, I suspect they don't know the origin of these horses, because these horses were won by my father at the wine table! To put it simply, it was my father's birthday a few years ago, so he invited some business people
My friends came to have a drink and dinner, and by the way, they took me and a few brothers to get to know these uncles. If he takes a back seat in the future, we can be the ones to negotiate business. As a result, after we had a good meal that day, my dad started talking to a few businessmen.
My friends started playing mahjong, and in the end they came back inexplicably winning these horses, and they didn’t even know who they won from, because they were escorted over by special personnel only half a month later," Baihecheng said seriously.
.
Yin En nodded and said: "Although these heavy horses cannot be used as war horses, they are of great use to us, so if you can, White River City, bring these horses to the alliance. Of course they should be given."
We will not miss you a penny of money, after all, your brothers are not convinced by you."
When Baihecheng heard what Yin En said, he couldn't help but shrugged, "No way, my family is not that kind of aristocratic family, so the influence of the eldest son inheritance system in my family is still slightly insufficient, so I
Becoming the head of the family now will definitely make many people feel unreliable; but I am also ready. If it doesn't work, I will separate the family directly. I will take some of the livestock and go directly to the alliance. When the alliance becomes bigger, I will naturally be able to let people
Those who were not convinced were convinced and came back voluntarily to help me."
The speed of the ox cart was not slow, so Liu Xing and others quickly arrived at the ruins of Tianshui Town.
Because there was a fire and there was no dedicated person to clean it up, the old site of Sweetwater Town still looks like a mess. However, after so many years of wind and rain, it seems that there is still some room for improvement.
At least the foundation can still be used.
Liu Xing and others were directly divided into three groups, namely Liu Xing, Meng Fugui, and Zheng Fei each led a team of people into Tianshui Town to conduct surveys to determine whether Tianshui Town was suitable as a base for the alliance and to build a base.
How much is it.
More importantly, are there any clues left behind in Sweetwater Town that can prove the origins of the people who came to destroy this town in the first place, and whether they have any backup plans in Sweetwater Town.
The members of Liu Xing's group are naturally Yin En and Baihe City. The main task of this group is to investigate the situation north of Tianshui Town, such as whether Tianshui Mountain has returned to normal, and whether the north is suitable for alliance farms.
Of course, the farms here will only grow various crops. If you want to raise livestock, you will need to find another suitable place. For example, there is a "grassland" to the east of Sweetwater Town.
Because no one has passed by Tianshui Town for many years, many places are overgrown with weeds, and some plants that can grow quite tall have made Liu Xing feel that he is a head shorter.
Back to the topic, the north side of Sweetwater Town was originally a liquor brewing area, with several professional breweries scattered around it. Therefore, it was completely burned down after the fire. Now it can be said that nothing is left, except for a few mouthfuls.
Outside the well.
Liu Xing and the others had already prepared tools for fetching water, so they quickly picked up a bucket of well water that looked normal.
But, as modern people, Liu Xing and the other three all know that no matter how clear and transparent the water looks, it actually contains a large number of microorganisms and impurities, so it is best not to drink it directly to avoid various problems.
What's more, this bucket of water comes from the ruins of Sweetwater Town, so there's no guarantee that those who destroyed Sweetwater Town will add something to the well water.
Therefore, Liu Xing asked Baihe City to boil some water first, while he and Yin En went around and measured the area of the land with their feet.
The result is pretty good. This land is more than enough to be used as a farm, because the alliance's farm is just to grow some vegetables. After all, the alliance only exists for one year, and if you grow food, you can only eat it for one season.
It doesn't make much sense at all.
And Liu Xing also noticed that Tianshui Mountain in the north has recovered its vitality and looks like a green mountain, but there are no big trees, so it always looks a bit weird.
By the time Liu Xing and his two men came back, Baihe City had already boiled a pot of water.
It tastes pretty good, really a little bit sweet.
Liu Xing nodded and said: "It seems that nature's recovery ability is really good. It has almost recovered after so many years. But I still don't understand why this water has a sweet taste. You must know that this sweet water mountain
They are all weeds now, so they shouldn’t be able to provide sweetness to the groundwater. Is there some sweet-tasting ore in this mountain?”
"That's not necessarily true. I seem to remember that there is a special metal ore that is indeed sweet, because its Latin scientific name means sweet."
Baihecheng thought hard for a while, then clapped his legs and said, "It seems to be beryllium?! Because I remember that this metal mine was also used to name a rifle, and I also heard about the possibility of beryllium in the introduction to that rifle.
It's sweet, but I'm not too sure, after all, I'm not a graduate of a related major."
"Then we can only go to Fei Xi later and ask."
Liu Xing took another bold sip of water. It tasted really good.
Because the task in the north was relatively simple, Liu Xing and others went back to assist the other two teams in the investigation. In the end, they found that Tianshui Town was indeed quite suitable as a base for the alliance. After all, Tianshui Town used to be quite rich, so it seemed that it was still possible.
The land was specially leveled, and many houses had foundations, so Liu Xing and others could make plans based on these foundations.
At the same time, Liu Xing and others did not find any strange traces. It seemed that the group was very professional and did not leave any clues at the scene.
So Meng Fugui drew a rough topographic map and planned to find someone to plan it after he went back, so that construction could start soon.
Anyway, there is no shortage of wood and stone bricks in Heshan County, so the construction of Tianshui Town can be put on the agenda.
Before returning to Heshan County, Liu Xing and others couldn't help but go to the abandoned orchard next to the town to see if the monkeys there still brewed monkey wine. As a result, they found the road to the abandoned orchard.
It has completely disappeared into the grass, and there are many venomous snake species in this area, so it is not a good idea to walk into the grass rashly.
So, after Liu Xing and others ate some dry food, they took an ox cart back to Shan County.
On the way back, Liu Xing and others discussed why Tianshui Town was destroyed and what were the intentions of those who took action?
Or what kind of secrets does this Sweetwater Town have?
Liu Xing and others did not reveal any answers to the mystery this time.
As for the "beryllium" mentioned in Baihe City, Fei Xi said that he didn't know much about it. He only remembered that chemically beryllium is highly toxic. However, given that Tianshui Town has used this groundwater for decades, it has not been used during this period.
There was no food poisoning incident, so he guessed that the "sweetness" in Tianshui Town had nothing to do with beryllium.
What's more, beryllium is not a single metal, but a component that exists in other ores.
After returning to Heshan County, Zheng Fei volunteered to return to Boyang City to inform other players to rush to Tianshui Town to build a house; while Meng Fugui took Baihe City to the market to buy various bricks, stone, wood, and
Construction tools, of course pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are also indispensable, because these hundreds of players are not livestock, and they can be sent to eat grass and drink water at will.
As for Liu Xing, he is preparing to go to Far West City, firstly to prepare for the examination of the medical sect, and secondly to unite with the players in Far West City, because the players who went to Far West City in advance have sent back a message saying that Far West City
The players in West City are willing to talk about joining the alliance.
Because Yin En has to prepare for his marriage, Liu Xing can only take the Zuo family trio to Far West City. Because the Zuo family trio is still online, they can act as Liu Xing's bodyguards, and they are also planning to go
Far West City purchased some arrows with special effects for use when hunting Sky Fire Crows.
So after a busy day, Liu Xing got on the carriage again and headed to Far West City.
Bon Voyage.
Far West City is different from Boyang City. It was built after the new Dragon Emperor ascended the throne, so the height of the city wall is much shorter than that of Boyang City, because Boyang City was built as a fortress, and
Far West City is a city responsible for trade transit.
Because Boyang City was still a city without a governor after all, the new Dragon Emperor was not at ease with Boyang City, so he specifically built Far West City to share some of Boyang City's interests.
The old city lord naturally understood this, so he honestly handed over the location of the trade transfer station to Far West City. You must know that Boyang City used to make a lot of money from this.
