Infrastructure masters in the red building

I am afraid that Jia Fang is the only one who understands what Xue Jing meant by "higher survival rate".

The light armor made of bamboo strips has a smooth surface, which can resist the weapons piercing the surface of the bamboo strips and slide away to the side, thus reducing the damage to the human body to a certain extent.In addition, Xue Jing mentioned that weaving the bamboo strips into three layers, and the three layers of protective armor can increase the protection factor of the armor exponentially.

In the old days when Zhuge Liang fought against Nanman, Nanman had rattan armor, which was invulnerable, but the only weakness was that it was inflammable because it was soaked in tung oil. It is also not as flammable as rattan armor.

It is estimated that this is Xue Jing's conclusion when he faced the mess left by his predecessor when he was serving as a quartermaster.

Xue Jing is also a struggling little person. The ugliness of barking like a dog completely covered up his inner brilliance. It was not until Jia Fang’s words moved him that Xue Jing took the initiative to contribute this idea—a seemingly ordinary idea, for everyone It is by no means insignificant in terms of the lives saved.

Jia Fang got on the last carriage back to Taoyuan Village and galloped towards his territory.

Sitting in the carriage, Jia Fang has been reflecting on himself: All the preparations for war should be started earlier, instead of being delayed until the last moment.

Xia Xingshen, the boss, had reminded Pingnan that the camp was corrupt, so he should have thought that he couldn't rely on the southern soldiers for everything, and had to rely on himself for everything.

The same is true of Mie Jia mentioned by Xue Jing. He should have reminded the villagers of Taoyuan Village to start preparing protective equipment.Some people have said before that silk underwear can also prevent cold weapons from invading the human body. Perhaps all kinds of silk fabrics should be requisitioned in the stockade early.All kinds of weapons, including bows and arrows, should also remind the villagers to prepare early.

After all, we have been in the peaceful age for too long, lacking vigilance, and habitually ignoring the existence of the crisis until the last moment.

Jia Fang let out a long sigh, and stretched out his hands to rub the center of his brows: Procrastination is really a no-brainer.

But as long as the bandits haven't arrived, they still have a moment to prepare, and these tasks should be done immediately.If you do one more thing, you will have a better chance of winning, and you will be able to save one more life.

The driver of the railcar brought him to the field, unloaded the horses, and then slowly dragged the carriage out of the wooden rails, pulled it into the shed where the carriages were stored, and piled straw on the shed, hoping that the shed would not will be discovered.

Jia Fang told the coachman to pay attention to safety, and then hurried to the stockade.

Taoyuan Village had already made a plan for the bandit attack earlier.Now all the women and children have prepared three days of dry food, a small amount of clothing and necessities, and are on standby at home.Once the signal is sent from the village, the women and children will first hide in the safe house in the cave in Taoyuan Village according to the prior arrangement.

In addition to the large karst cave in the back mountain of Taoyuan Village, two karst caves each capable of accommodating about 500 people were found in the soil slopes behind the villages in Xinyu.At that time, except for the women and children, all the men in Taoyuan Village will also retreat to the cave one by one according to the previous plan to cover the entrance of the cave.

It's just that once that time comes, it's tantamount to handing over their home in Taoyuanzhai to the bandits for them to loot.

At present, every household in the village is hiding the only property they have.The villages of Xinyu dug a lot of cellars when they first came here, and now the cellars are in use, and all the grain stored in the village is hidden in the cellars.The villagers wanted to hide all the pigs and sheep they raised, but they were afraid that these living things would harm the food, so they decided to forget it.

The people in Xiaoxiang Academy are also extremely busy.Zhang Youshi begged the inspection team to help take away all the bottles and cans of his purified medicine and send them to the safe house.He himself held a wooden box containing all kinds of petri dishes, and carried it carefully along the way, muttering in his mouth: "The only one in the world, only this one, if it is destroyed, it will be gone." -"

Jia Fang also visited Xiaoxiang Academy. He asked the teachers and researchers to take away only their manuscripts and records in case of emergency, and all teaching books can be left in place—after all, they can be reprinted.

But no one in Xiaoxiang Academy refused, and in the end they put away all the books and sent them to the safe house.

Lao Shao from the Agricultural College even prepared a carry-on box, which contained the seeds of all the special plants in Taoyuan Village: three-season rice, peppers, tomatoes, Artemisia annua...

Jia Fang originally wanted to say don't be afraid, there are still in his Hengwu Garden.But it is obvious that the people of Taoyuan Village recognize these as the foundation of their existence. No matter what kind of disaster they encounter, as long as these are still there and the people are still there, Taoyuan Village will be able to recover and stand up again.

Apart from these, there is no other way to put it away.The beehives in the bee farm, the sugar pot and refiner in the sugar mill, the hydraulic spinning loom in the textile factory...these can only be concealed a little. As for whether they will be destroyed, it depends on the mood of the bandits.

The production in these places has stopped, only the cement factory is still burning cement day and night, and the cement produced is mixed with water and iron rods, which are being cast into short defensive walls.There is no city wall in Taoyuan Village, so short walls like this one after another were poured temporarily, and they were stuck at the entrances of several important roads.

The short wall imitates the form of the female wall on the city wall. It is half the height of a person, enough to cover the guards, and has crenels for people to shoot arrows and guns.

In addition, all the hands that were still free went to the back mountain to cut bamboo. The bamboo craftsman quickly split the bamboo into bamboo spears one by one. The young girl immediately took it, sharpened the bamboo spear, and weighed it. , put a few stones in, match the weight, and then the next one.

Another bamboo craftsman cuts bamboo into thin bamboo strips, and the elderly women use their nimble hands to quickly weave thin and dense armor.The style of the armor is very simple, a long one, with a round hole in the middle for the hood, after the armor piercer puts it on, tie the belts on both sides of the waist, and immediately a pair of soft armor will protect the vitals.

The armor is made of three layers, but no one has tried whether it is effective or not.The boys may not all believe that this bamboo thing can defend themselves, but most of them think that it is better than nothing, so they put it on happily.But the women who are in charge of weaving mostly chant Buddha's name while weaving, secretly hoping to weave blessings from gods and Buddhas into these rattan armors.

"Mr. Jia, Mr. Jia, what should we do about this?" Jia Fang was on inspection when Lao Jin from the Finance Office rushed up to greet Jia Fang.

Together with Lao Tu, he pushed Jia Fang out of the "safe" that had been kept in the finance office.

This safe contains all the "guarantee deposits" in the entire southern region, so it is very heavy. In addition, the safe itself is a lump of iron. If it weren't for a careful movable pulley hoisting device installed in the financial office, it would have been done by Lao Tu and Lao Jin. Two, you can't move them at all.

Jia thought at ease: This really needs to be hidden in a safe place.He was confident that those bandits would never be able to open his safe, but if the bandits took away the whole lump of iron and melted it to take out the silver, he would really have no place to cry.

So he called a few strong boys: "Put this on the wooden rail and push it into the Xianliang Temple."

The boys all understand: "Yes, the gods will help us protect these."

Jia Fang nodded: This iron bump will appear in his Grand View Garden. No one in Beijing has the courage to kill him in his Grand View Garden.

"My lord, what are your plans?"

Jia Yi, who had always been silent and followed behind Jia Fang, suddenly spoke.

"I will stay in front of the Xianliang Temple and observe the situation of bandits attacking the village." Jia Fang suddenly thought of Jia Yi and Bingding, who were entrusted by Jia Daishan to ensure his safety in the south.

If there is an emergency, he may need to return to the Grand View Garden.In order not to scare Jia Yi and Bing Ding, he explained in advance: "Once bandits attack here, I will hide in the Xianliang Temple. The Xianliang Temple is absolutely safe, so you two can rest assured that you don't have to follow me all the time."

Jia Yi and Bing Ding nodded at the same time, and said, "The Duke also said so."

"Then it's settled. If the bandits attack here, I will send the third master to the Xianliang Temple. Then I will leave on my own, and then join the third master." Jia Yi and Bing Ding's skills are very good In the face of bandits, as long as they are willing to escape on their own, they will not be in danger.

Everything seems to be arranged properly, but when the bandits come, how can it be really orderly?

A small group of bandits appeared after breakfast. These people looked like ordinary folks who went to Taoyuan Village to go to the market, but they carried knives, bows and quiveres on their backs.

Once the farthest sentry found traces of bandits, it immediately lit colored smoke as a warning, and then the sentry quickly took a small road and rushed back to Taoyuan Village.

Immediately, the bell of "Dangdangdangdangdangdangdangdang" sounded in Taoyuan village.Although the villagers had been mentally prepared and even conducted two drills, when it came time to encounter bandits, everyone was still in chaos.

The "emergency kit" prepared earlier was clearly placed by the bedside, and one could be pulled down somehow, so I had to go back to get it quickly; counting the three children in the family, there were only two left by the door of the safe house. The mother was so anxious that she went back to look for it, but the inspection team picked up the third baby and sent it back...

Going back and forth like this, the more anxious you are, the more error-prone you are.

Jia Fang did not let himself be overwhelmed by these chores, he stood calmly in front of the Xianliang Temple, silently observing the situation in the entire village.

There is a sundial beside him, so he can calculate the time when Taoyuan Village completed the emergency evacuation, and also calculate the attack speed of the bandits.

Obviously, the bandits really seemed to be going to the market. After the warning smoke from the sentry rose, about an hour later, the first small group of bandits appeared on the road.

No matter how chaotic Taoyuan Village was, it was over by now.Women, children and old people all entered the safe house, and the door of the safe house was guarded by young aboriginal girls who knew some martial arts.

At this time, the men of Taoyuan Village were scattered around the main roads, and some others were in the middle to support them, responsible for allocating supplies and issuing orders.

The first group of Bandits to arrive came from the direction of Qingfang Bridge.The bridge deck on the Qingfang Bridge had already been hoisted, and there was always a width of three feet between the two piers, and the bandits would never be able to jump over it.

At that moment, someone jumped off the Qingfang River, swam to the side of Taoyuan Village, climbed up the bridge, and cut the rope that lifted the bridge deck. With a "bang", the bridge deck fell down, connecting the whole bridge. .The bandits cheered "Ou Ou", and then rushed over from the other side of Qingfang Bridge together.

Standing on a high place, Jia Fang could see clearly, and thought to himself: This first hurdle seems to be too easy for the other party.

That's true—although the bridge deck was suspended on the Qingfang Bridge, there were no guards on the suspension bridge, so that the bandits easily opened the road to Taoyuan Village on the water.

Jia thought at ease: Next time, we can consider installing a bridgehead...if there is a next time.

The bandits had just crossed the bridge, and they immediately ushered in a massive counterattack from Taoyuan Village.Countless bamboo spears were thrown from behind sections of low wall-like fortifications.The bandits in the front, without exception, were pierced in the chest by the bamboo spear, and fell down screaming.

The bandits seemed taken aback immediately, no one thought that the people from Taoyuan Village would dare to fight back.So the dozens of bandits in the front quickly retreated from the Qingfang Bridge, out of the range of the bamboo spears, leaving only a few wounded by the bamboo spears, lying on the ground and crying, but no one was there. Take care of it and let it fend for itself.

Not long after the bandits retreated, Jia Fang suddenly called out softly, "Not good!"

On the other side of the Qingfang River, where the Jinhua Textile Factory is located, green smoke billowed up.It must be that Jinhua's place is full of wooden factories and wooden hydraulic machinery. The bandits saw that there was no profit, so they set fire to it.

Jia Fang felt distressed immediately - after all, he also has shares in it.But as long as he remembered that all the mechanical design drawings were backed up, he didn't feel particularly worried.

The bandits burned the brocade flowers, as if they wanted to lure the villagers in Taoyuanzhai hiding behind those bunkers to go out and fight them with real swords and guns.The villagers in Taoyuanzhai, like Jia Fang, endured their anger and continued to hide behind the bunker without moving.

At this time, apart from the Qingfang River, bandits began to appear on other roads.The sound of fighting sounded in the distance, and the bandits on the Qingfang River here rushed forward——

The bamboo spear continued to greet them, but this time, the effect of the bamboo spear was slightly weaker.The bandits raised their shields, formed a small formation and slowly pushed towards the bunker.

Jia Anxin immediately wanted to scold someone: Is this also called Bandit?The weapons in this bandit's hands are even better than those of the Pingnan Camp? !

The shield in the bandit's hand looked light and strong.The bamboo spear was thrown and hit the shield, but it could only bounce off lightly.

At this moment, a villager from Taoyuanzhai suddenly stood up from behind the bunker, opened his bow and set his arrows, and it turned out to be three arrows in a row with "swish swish swish" arrows. The two bandits on the body, the third arrow hit someone's knee, and there was a scream.

The villagers of Taoyuanzhai immediately hid in the bunker.Because this also reminded the bandits, the other party suddenly remembered: We also have bows and arrows!

As a result, the bandits also shot their bows and arrows one after another, most of them were nailed to the bunker, and a few caused minor injuries to the villagers in Taoyuan Village.

For a while, the two sides communicated with each other, but Taoyuan Village could not stop the bandits from pressing on every step of the way, relying only on bamboo spears and a few bows and arrows.Seeing that these bandits had approached, long-range weapons such as bamboo spears and bows and arrows no longer worked.Taoyuan Village must change its combat strategy.

So, not long after, a bundle of tightly rolled straw rolls was suddenly thrown out from behind the bunker in Taoyuanzhai, and it should have been set on fire when it was thrown out.

The straw rolled to the feet of the bandits.A bandit didn't know what it was, stretched out a long knife in his hand, picked up the rope coil wrapped with straw, and immediately picked up the straw roll, and all of a sudden billowing smoke came out, covering the sky and the sun in an instant.The bandits couldn't see each other in the middle of it, and at the same time, their eyes were sore and itchy from the smoke, and they didn't dare to open them. They could only hold a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, hacking and slashing around, jingling for a while. , Exclamation, and screams continued.

When the smoke dissipated, the bandits rubbed their red and swollen eyes, and finally saw that there was no one behind the nearest bunker. Out of battle, ready for the next round of attacks.

Jia Fang saw it clearly in front of the Xianliang Temple: the militiamen in Taoyuan Village have been fighting and retreating even though their strength and equipment are not as good as their opponent's.Their casualty rate has always been much lower than that of bandits, but their weakness lies in the lack of strategic depth, and there is no way to retreat.But bandits that appeared from various roads kept flocking to this Taoyuan village, and for a moment they didn't know how many people there were on the other side.

It seems that, as a last resort, Taoyuan Village must take out the "big weapon" prepared in advance, and send a "big gift" to the other party, to see if it can scare away these well-equipped and numerous fake mountain bandits and real private soldiers.
