Chapter 162 The birth of thousands of miles

Xiao Tianjian led the crowd to the Zhuang wall early in the morning to observe the situation of the military camp outside the village. Xiao Tianjian took out a copper cylinder from a leather cylinder at his waist and came to look at the camp outside the village.

The generals looked at Xiao Tianjian curiously. They didn't know what this thing was in his hand. Why didn't he look at it with his eyes, but he had to get close to such a copper tube to see it?

After Xiao Tianjian held this copper pipe and looked at it for a while, he put down his hand and said to the generals, "It seems that the officers and soldiers will not come out of the camp to attack us today!" They are hiding in the camp now and are busy building a camp! I guess this group of officers and soldiers are going to spend time with us here! It seems a little troublesome now!"

Luo Li also tilted his head and looked in the direction of the army battalion. As a result, he only looked at it in a hazy way, but he couldn't see what the people in the army camp were doing, so he asked Xiao Tianjian, "General, why can't I see clearly? What did you use just now? Is it possible to see further?

Li Shuanzhu, Shi Ran and others also looked curiously at the copper barrier in Xiao Tianjian's hand, waiting for Xiao Tianjian to answer this question for them.

Xiao Tianjian looked down at the copper pipe in his hand and smiled at the generals, "Let me tell you the truth! This thing can indeed be seen further! Take it and have a look first!"

After saying that, he handed over the copper pipe to Luo Li. Luo Li immediately picked it up and came to his eyes, looked at the army camp in the distance, and then immediately exclaimed, "My God, what is this? It's much farther away, haha! It's clear that those turtle grandchildren are indeed building camp! Tut-tut, this thing is really a good thing! I couldn't see it before, but now I see it! Haha! Awesome!

Huh? Damn, these bastards are going to pester us here to the end! Is it okay to hide? Look, I won't take out you turtles and grandchildren and kill them!"

Li Shuanzhu was so anxious that he grabbed the copper pipe in Luo Li's hand and rushed to the front of him. As a result, he immediately shouted, "What the hell! Luo Li, aren't you talking nonsense? Why can't I see it? Why does it look farther away?

Luo Li immediately shouted, "How can I fool you? It's true that you can see far away! People who can't see clearly can even see their noses and eyes with this! How can I lie to you?"

Xiao Tianjian turned his head and couldn't help laughing. He reached out and took the copper pipe from Li Shuanzhu's hand. He dropped his head and handed it to him and said, "You take it back. Look at it from this end!"

At this time, Li Shuanzhu shouted, "My mother! Now I can see it clearly! Good boy! It's really far away! Good stuff! It seems that the general is right. This group of bastards really plan to shrink their heads into the shell! Damn, just shrink it up? Brother Luo is right. Let's take them out and crush them one by one!"

Shi Ran, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't hold it anymore. He went up and grabbed the copper barrier from Li Shuanzhu's hand. He squeezed an eye in front of him and looked at it. He also said in surprise, "What the hell is this? How can you see so far? I can even see it from my nose and eyes! Haha! If only we had this thing. We can see the enemy from afar in the future, so we don't have to take risks!" As soon as Shi Ran said that he was the old man's job, he immediately realized the effect of this kind of this thing on their scouts, and his greedy saliva almost flowed out.

Xiao Tianjian did not hesitate to let this copper pipe pass it in the hands of his generals. Everyone shouted after reading it, calling it a good thing.

Finally, Xiao Tianjian returned the copper pipe and said to the generals, "This thing can be called a thousand-mile eye for the time being, but this is only the first experimental product. It is not too far to see. It will be much better than this in the future. You can see the far away. At present, the craftsmen in Lianhuazhai are rushing to build it. This kind of thing will be made more in the future, and I will give you one. You can take care of it and equip it a little more!"

The generals were overjoyed as soon as they heard it. They were eager for everyone to distribute such a thousand-mile eye. In the future, if they fight with people, they will take advantage of it, especially Shi Ran. Hearing Xiao Tianjian say that they should equip the ward with more, they are even more happy to thank Xiao Tianjian and envy others.

The telescope in Xiao Tianjian's hand is the first finished product finally made by the craftsmen of Lianhuazhai after months of fighting and scrapping countless lenses. It is also an unadjustable monocular telescope. The multiple is not high, and it can only have a multiple of four or five times. If it is placed in later generations, this thing can only be counted. It is a toy, but in this era, even in the world, this thing is a high-tech product, which is absolutely a good thing that is absolutely unattainable.

If you calculate the price, it's worth the money. In order to make this telescope, Xiao Tianjian tried his best to get some crystal stones and found a few jade craftsmen who were responsible for polishing the lenses according to his requirements. In the past few months, I don't know how many lenses have been scrapped, so he successfully grinded a set of usable mirrors. The piece also asked the jeweler to create a copper tube for him to install the lenses, which made this primary and simple telescope. I'm afraid the money spent on the front and back is not less than a thousand taels. It's hard to say that many families have eaten for many years.

However, after the first finished product, it will be easy to say in the future. As long as the qualified crystals are enough, these jade craftsmen can continuously grind out the lenses and assemble new telescopes. In that case, the cost will be pulled down a lot. At least there is no big problem to distribute it to the first level of the military sentry. If you want to be big For batch manufacturing, at the current cost, the cost is really a little too high. Even they can't afford it. I'm afraid they will have to find a way on the glass later, but this is all for later.

After everyone was excited for a while, they turned their attention back to the official army. After carefully observing the situation of the official army camp, Xiao Tianjian was more sure that the officers and soldiers had made up their mind not to attack Xihe Village. Obviously, they put on a posture to spend time with Xing Tianjun here.

"It seems that the main general of this army is not a fool. I know that they will not be our opponents, so I want to keep us a closed door! Drag us here and wait for the other two officers and soldiers to do it, and then do it with us! This plan is poisonous enough! In this way, we are constrained here and can't advance or retreat! No matter which of the other two roads break into the boundary of Yangcheng, we have lost this battle!" Xiao Tianjian put away his telescope again and said to the generals.

"What the general said is that this officer is really cunning! I'm afraid we can't afford to delay! Since they dare not come again, let's just go out and flatten their camp! They don't get stuck at the door and disgust us!" Luo Li then proposed to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian nodded: "This time, Luo Li is on the point! We really can't afford to delay, because Feng Gouzi has sent me a letter today, saying that the officers and soldiers in the direction of Zezhou have also made a move. They began to set out for us, and those from Jiang County also began to leave for the mountain! This time, the officers and soldiers want the three armies to go hand in hand, forcing us to return to Yangcheng from Yuanqu, and also forcing us not to look at each other at the beginning and end, driving us out of Yangcheng, at least forcing us into the mountains and being bandits!

However, they miscalculated Liu Nian. They didn't expect that I would come back so soon, and the officers and soldiers in Qinshui County were also a leader. Originally, even if they didn't come to fight Hexi Village this time, I would lead my troops to attack Qinshui County, but they were anxious to eat hot tofu, which was even more satisfactory for me!

It's not too late now. We must knock out the officers and soldiers on this road and then fight against Zezhou. If we are dragged here, we are likely to fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy, and the generals will obey the order!"

Hearing that Xiao Tianjian was going to give an order, the generals immediately stood up and shouted, "The last general, please order!"

"Open the village gate, and the troops immediately line up outside the village. Let's take out these officers and soldiers from their nest!" Xiao Tianjian gave orders to the generals with great aura.

"The last general will obey the order!" The generals immediately shouted together, and then turned around and ran down the wall and began to mobilize their subordinates.

The roars and sharp gathering whistles of officers suddenly sounded inside and outside Zhuangzi in Hexi Village. The generals who were in a state of rest jumped up one after another after hearing the sound. After quickly hanging up, they grabbed their weapons and began to follow their officers to rush out of Zhuangzi.

And Xiao Tianjian also went down the Zhuang wall, turned over and jumped on the war horse at the Zhuangmen, and rushed out of Hexi Village with a group of guards.

Xiao Tianjian gathered two sentry soldiers this time, as well as some scouts and artillery personnel, so that the number of soldiers reached about 1,000. At the same time, he transferred 600 recruits under Liu Bao's command who had not yet completed their training and the township soldiers from more than 700 villages and townships, bringing the total strength to more than 2,300 people. How to Compared with the army, the strength of the two armies is basically the same.

When the officers and soldiers came, although there were more than 3,000 people, after two days of consumption in Hexi Village, there were only more than 2,600 troops left at present. The old, weak and remnants of the army were eliminated. Their real strength was not necessarily more than that of the Xing Tianjun. If you compare the quality of the two armies, it would be even worse. Compared with the law, even if the Xingtian Army is the lowest-level township soldier, it is not much lower than the regular army of the officer army in terms of training. What's more, Xing Tianjun, a soldier who has experienced a hundred battles, is not comparable to these officers and soldiers.

In terms of morale, it goes without saying that Xing Tianjun is defending his homeland. From top to bottom, it can be said that he is full of strength. He wants to show good care of the officers and soldiers, but the officers and soldiers are all the officers and soldiers who were forced to come here. In addition, they have failed to attack Xihe Village several times in two days, and morale has long been low. It's awesome, so it can be said that Xing Tianjun has an advantage in all aspects in this battle. Xiao Tianjian has no doubt whether he can defeat this officer army. What he is considering now is how to end this battle as soon as possible and kill this officer army here as much as possible!
