Looking at Tai's sinister eyes, Yue swallowed his saliva and said in a dry tone: "Isn't this bad?"
The fire crystal cannon's attack does not distinguish between targets. It blasts into the city, which will not only cause the collapse of a large number of buildings, but also kill and injure more ordinary people.
The more he thinks he is not a good person, he will accept any insidious means to deal with the enemy on the battlefield, but using this method to deal with unarmed civilians, what is the difference between this and massacre?
"There's nothing wrong with it." Tai's eyes were cold: "You have to know, this is war! Only the one who survives is the winner!"
"If we want our tribe to survive, they must die! What's more, they are our enemies!"
After drinking all the tea in front of him, Tai put down the tea cup heavily and said to Yue seriously: "In this war, I am going to let you lead the team. With your familiarity with Lie City, I believe you can know,
Wherever the fire crystal cannon hits will be most powerful."
"And you also know where Liecheng and their water sources are. We have two goals for this expedition. The best case scenario is to capture Liecheng, but if we can't, we must seize most of their water resources!"
"Only you can do this!"
After listening to the captain's words, he became more and more silent, as if he was thinking about something.
Tai was not in a hurry and allowed Yue to think about it.
After all, this matter involves a big deal, and the sooner you return, you will be responsible for such a heavy task, so it is normal to think more about it.
Just when Tai was about to pour another cup of tea, he discovered that a sand ant had somehow gotten into the big teapot.
Looking at the dead sand ant with disgust, Tai opened the lid of the pot and poured out most of the tea left inside.
A large amount of tea was splashed on the ground to outline a pleasant landscape painting, but it soon evaporated and disappeared under the hot desert temperature.
Looking at the ground where there were still traces of tea, I became more and more stunned.
After a long while, he sighed: "Yue has never commanded a large-scale battle, and I am afraid that I will disappoint the commander-in-chief's expectations. If the commander-in-chief insists, then I will give it a try boldly."
A smile appeared on Tai's face, and he laughed: "I know your abilities very well. Although you have never commanded a team, in terms of your ability to control the overall situation of the war, you are not inferior to those captains under me. With your
His experience is more than enough to command an siege!"
Yue forced a smile.
Next, the two of them discussed matters related to the attack on Liecheng. When the discussion was almost done, Tai smiled and said: "Then it's settled. You will lead the Fire Crystal Cannon team to carry out the first wave of attacks. Don't worry about anything else. Wait until the cannons are ready."
After the noise is heard, I will send other patrols to support you."
"Perhaps by sending troops this time, we can end this war!"
When the conversation ended, Yue said goodbye and left.
Before going out, Yue hesitated and turned to ask Tai: "Captain, do you still remember history?"
"History?" Tai Yi was startled, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and said: "Of course I remember, you and he were both sent out by me personally. History is the most outstanding spy I have ever seen. It's a pity that God is jealous of Yingcai. He
He died long ago."
"If he is here this time and you two cooperate together, our chances of winning will be greatly increased."
"By the way, why did you bring him up?"
"It's nothing." Yue shook his head: "I just suddenly thought that he couldn't see the end of this war, and I felt a little regretful."
"This is indeed a pity." Tai felt a little regretful, and then said with a smile: "But we can bear witness for him. After the war is over, I will announce the identity of you and history, so that the people of the tribe will understand that you are our tribe
hero!"
"Thank you very much, Captain. If you know the history, you should also be happy."
Looking at Yue's retreating back, the smile on Tai's face gradually disappeared and his expression changed.
Leaving the captain's room, Yue felt heavy.
If possible, he didn't want to agree to the captain's request, but the situation at that time did not allow him not to agree.
The more he is a person who is not easily manipulated by emotions, if he were so easily affected by emotions, he would not have been a spy for so many years.
But this time the situation is different. He wants to use the fire crystal cannon to attack civilians without the enemy knowing anything.
After all, Yue had lived in Liecheng for several years and knew that ordinary people in the Lie tribe were no different from ordinary people in the Gu tribe. They were equally troubled by water sources and wars.
Yue had also been taken care of by some Liecheng people, and he couldn't bear to let him attack these unarmed ordinary people.
In fact, when the captain proposed this war plan, Yue wanted to say that if he wanted to cause chaos in Lie City, he didn't have to use this method.
As long as you give him enough time, he has many ways to cause chaos in a city.
But the more he knows, once he expresses this idea, his end may be the same as history.
In the Gu tribe, there can only be one voice, and that is Tai.
"We can only take one step at a time."
Yue was thinking and walking, and unknowingly, he came to the stove field.
The furnace yard is the place where the Gu tribe processes and forges weapons. Since some weapons are large, expensive, and difficult to transport, the captain will choose to buy cheaper materials and bring the materials to the tribe for processing and forging.
On the streets near the furnace yard, you can always see some shirtless young adults pulling carts filled with fire sand and stones, sweating profusely into the furnace yard.
Fire sand and stone are special sand in the desert and are also an important material for forging weapons. The furnace yard requires a large amount of fire sand and stone every day to maintain its operation, so the patrol team will recruit many people to transport the fire sand and stone.
This job is tiring and life-threatening, but many people in the city still come to do this job because the patrol team will provide free food and water when working in the furnace yard.
The most important thing is that when settling the reward, you can choose not to pay but just water, so as to exchange for some water supplies to take home.
This is the only stable water exchange channel in Gucheng today.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A naked and sweaty man was tired from pushing, panting and sitting on a stone nearby to rest.
The big man took out a cloth-bag kettle from his waist, opened it eagerly, and was ready to drink.
But the moment he raised his head, he didn't know what he thought of. He stopped drinking and took a small sip to moisturize his lips. Then he carefully put the kettle back and continued working.
Yue looked at it for a while, then turned and left.
Before he could go far, he saw a child peeing on the side of the road.
The strange thing is that the child did not sprinkle it on the ground, but sprinkled it into a bottle wrapped in cloth.
After peeing, the child stepped forward, picked up the bottle, filtered it with a cloth skillfully, and drank the "pee" again.
Yue became silent. He was very familiar with this set of actions. It was an emergency treatment method when the patrol was on mission outside the desert and could not find a source of water but was short of water.
Even the patrol team only learned this method during training and rarely used it when they actually went out.
Now that I see it in a child, it makes me feel even more ridiculous.
This is in the city!
This reminded Yue of some news he had learned in the city these days.
The Gu tribe is different from the Lie tribe. After Captain Tai took power, all orders were biased towards the patrol team in order to attract other people in the city to join the patrol team and increase the power in his hands.
This includes the distribution of materials.
All water resources will be allocated to patrols and soldiers who go out to fight, while much less will be allocated to the residents of the city.
This is understandable. After all, those patrols and soldiers are fighting for their lives outside to protect the tribe, so it is normal for them to be treated better.
At this point, the Lie tribe is the same, but the difference is that while they "partialize" the patrols, they will also provide the residents in the city with a basic amount of water, at least ensuring the basic survival of other people in the tribe.
The Gu tribe went too far in "partiality". Under Tai's order, most of the water resources were allocated to the patrol team, leaving very little for the residents of the city, especially since the Gu tribe's water supplies were not available.
many.
Forget it, these small amounts of water supplies are still distributed conditionally. Families with patrols or out-of-town soldiers can have priority in redeeming water supplies, while others can only queue up to redeem them.
As a result, many people cannot buy water even if they have money, and their bodies are always in a state of water shortage. Some people even die of thirst because of this.
The food was better, and the amount provided was barely enough for other people, but water was the source of life.
The lack of water has caused many people to suffer from dehydration. They have no energy to work. Without work, they have no money to exchange for supplies, falling into a vicious cycle.
As long as there is enough water, all this can be improved.
The more I wanted to go back, the more I asked the captain to pray to the gods again, but when I thought of the captain's cold eyes, I understood more and more that even if he asked, it would not help, and the captain would not agree.
Apart from this, there is only the siege plan mentioned by the captain.
As long as Liecheng is captured, the water problem will be solved.
Is this really the only way to go?
Just when Yue was unwilling to give up, an old man walked slowly from a distance.
This old man was thin, pale, and stooped. He walked tremblingly, as if he might fall down at any time.
Behind the old man, he was carrying a basket of fire sand and stones, but the number of fire sand and stones in the basket was less than half. It fell down as he walked, following the old man all the way.
It seems that this old man is also one of the people transporting fire sand and stones.
This old man is not alone. Just now, he also saw some children and women carrying baskets and buckets to load fire sand and stones into the furnace yard.
Don't get me wrong, the patrol team will not hire these people to help with transportation. It's just that some people really can't find a job, so they will go to the outside of the city to find fire sand and stones, and then transport them with some tools, hoping to get them from the patrol team in this way.
Exchange for some food and water.
In view of the advanced age of some elderly people, some patrol members will secretly distribute some food to them, so as not to let them work in vain.
But the old man in front of Yue was a bit older. The oldest I met before was only fifty or sixty years old, but this old man looked to be over seventy years old.
If we were to switch to the previous Gu tribe, the elders of this age were basically the tribe's celebrities, and they would be supported wherever they went, because these elders had extremely rich desert life experience, and just a few words would be enough for the young people to benefit from.
Unfortunately, now, they can only support themselves by working.
Shaking his head and sighing, Yue was about to leave when suddenly there was an unusual sound, like something heavy falling to the ground, making a loud crash.
When he turned around, he saw that the old man had fallen to the ground. The noise just now was caused by the basket on his back falling to the ground, and fire, sand and stones were scattered all over the ground.
The people around looked at the old man falling with very cold eyes, as if it was a common occurrence, and no one chose to step forward to help him.
Yue was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help the old man up.
The old man's eyes were tightly closed, his lips were chapped, and his arms were burned red from the contact with fire, sand and stones.
"Water...water..."
Hearing the old man's groan, Yue took out his own water bottle from his waist and carefully fed the old man some water.
Moisturized by the water, the old man gradually recovered, opened his eyes, glanced at the kettle, and reluctantly returned the kettle to Yue.
"My child, thank you very much. Please put the kettle away. Don't waste such a precious material on me, the old man."
Yue handed the kettle over again and said with a smile: "It's okay, you drink more, I still have some."
Looking at the kettle that was so close to Chi Chi, the old man couldn't help it and drank two more sips. Then he returned the kettle to Yue and picked up the fire sand and stones scattered on the ground.
Yue Ye helped pick up the fire sand and put it into the basket.
Before leaving, the old man warned Yue: "Put away your things. Don't expose your things casually here."
Yue didn't take it seriously and just smiled and nodded.
I turned around and walked back home. Before I had gone very far, I saw a skinny young man walking hurriedly across from me.
Yue turned sideways to avoid it, but was still hit by the boy.
"sorry Sorry."
The young man quickly bowed his head and apologized, then prepared to move forward.
But Yue's face darkened and he reached out to grab the young man's shoulder.
"It's okay to go, but should you return the things to me?"
I saw a delicate little kettle in the boy's arms.
This kettle is surprisingly the same as the one Yue took out just now!
"Something? What is it?" the young man said anxiously: "I didn't take your things, please put your hands down!"
Yue snorted coldly: "If you don't learn well at a young age and imitate others to steal things, your kettle belongs to me!"
"What evidence do you have? Don't spit on others!"
Amidst the boy's shouts, several people came around one after another, surrounding Jiang Yue.
"Yes, what evidence do you have?"
"You said he stole things, and I also said you stole things."
"Boy, don't cause trouble on our territory!"
Looking at the crowd around him, Yue said coldly: "So you still have a gang."
"Don't slander us, we are just passers-by who can't stand it." A tall and thin man sneered: "If you know what's interesting, just leave quickly, don't force us to take action!"
"Do it?" He started laughing more and more as if he heard something funny: "Don't you look at the person before you steal someone's things?"
"Want proof? I'll give you proof!"
"Look at the mark on the lower right corner of the kettle. What's the evidence?"
Everyone was stunned, and the young man quickly looked at the lower right corner of the kettle.
There, a small patrol badge shows the origin of this kettle!
