Chapter 87: Opening the Mountain
Dense forest with miscellaneous trees, scattered horizontally and vertically.
Lin Zhensheng and others are only wasting their time by staying here.
Instead of staring at the inland lake shore, it is better to find another way.
"Let's return."
Lin Zhensheng turned around and led the team away.
It's not that he wants to escape, but that he has other plans in mind.
Zhongshan
The highest point in Jiangdong.
As long as we occupy Zhongshan, we will have a panoramic view of the entire Jiangdong. By then, no prairie of any color will be able to hide us.
The sun is shining brightly and it is already noon.
Lin Zhensheng and others entered Zhongshan for the second time. Looking at the vines all over the mountains and plains, they felt that the road was not easy to clean.
Everyone had a simple lunch and started working.
Zhongshan is not too steep and is easy to climb, but it is a mountain after all and has slopes. The road to the mountain cannot go straight up or down, it must be determined according to the trend of the mountain.
This resulted in a very slow progress in the left and right sides of the mountain. In one afternoon, they did not even go up 100 meters.
Lin Zhensheng turned back and looked in the direction of Dahu.
At this time, the woods on the east side can no longer block the figure of the big lake, and you can see a little bit of the crescent moon emerging from the wavy water. But if you look further into the distance, you can't see anything. As far as you can see, there are dense woods.<
/p>
You have to climb at least five hundred meters before you can see the end of the forest.
As the sun set, Lin Zhensheng quickly led people down the mountain and returned to the wooden platform to rest.
Good news: Some wooden traps have caught rabbits.
Bad news: some wooden animal traps were completely destroyed.
The rabbit didn't know when it was trapped. It could be seen that it struggled, but could not break free. The wooden wedge was pressed against its throat, making it unable to breathe. Now it is suffocated to death.
There are quite a few of them, so let’s treat them as extra dinner tonight.
Lin Zhensheng took it off and handed it to the citizens for disposal, while he looked at the destroyed wooden animal trap.
The wooden wedges were shattered, the wood was twisted and broken, and the entire wooden animal trap had fallen apart. There was no possibility of repairing it.
What stepped on it?
Cow? Or horse?
Whatever it is, it's definitely not a human being.
Even though this thing is made of wood, its power is quite amazing.
When Lin Zhensheng first made it, he tested it in advance. After a person's hands and feet were trapped, it was difficult to break free with brute force. Of course, the premise is that you can't use your brain, otherwise you can untie the wooden wedge rope lasso with your hands, and then be safe
Leaving without any hurt at all.
Now that the wooden animal trap is falling apart, it is obvious that it trapped some powerful and heavy guy, and the latter used violence to get out of the trap.
Lin Zhensheng squatted on the ground and looked at the vicinity of the falling trap. There were signs of rolling and friction, and there were also traces of hoof prints.
Two petals, peach heart shape.
Cow!
A wooden animal trap caught a cow's ankle, and then it violently broke free.
I also looked at other wooden animal traps in the same miserable condition. The situation was roughly the same, and the damaged traps were relatively concentrated, so it should have been done by the same cow.
Lin Zhensheng stood up and looked around, but found no sign of the cow. He probably ran into the woods before they went down Zhongshan.
That’s all.
Ignore it for now.
Lin Zhensheng had no choice but to dig a hole on the spot, fill it with inverted spikes, and wait for it to hit him.
Everything has its priorities. Now catching cattle and horses is "slow", while investigating abandoned torches must be "heavy".
Roast rabbit was added as an extra meal in the evening. There was a lot of food and drink. Everyone was tired after a long day and went to bed early.
The next day, [Danger Alert] countdown [2 days: 23:52:14], Lin Zhensheng took people into Zhongshan early and continued to cut vines.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy, so there is nothing we can do.
If I had known this, I would have brought more people over. With a stone knife in each hand, they could cut down the mountainside in minutes.
A mountain road more than one meter wide was cut out by the citizens one by one. Lin Zhensheng did not sit there and followed behind, kicking and cutting aside the trees on the ground to make the road as smooth as possible.
At noon, everyone sat on the ground to rest and eat, while Lin Zhensheng looked down the mountain.
This mountain road is winding, sometimes heading east, sometimes heading west, but generally it is heading towards the top of the mountain.
At this time, looking towards the big lake, the scenery is different.
Most of the lake surface is exposed, with sparkling waves reflecting the sun's rays.
After the forest in the east of Dahu, you can also see more green leaves in the canopy.
Lin Zhensheng looked in the direction of the territory again.
The base camp is close to the Dongliangjiang River. There are no trees blocking the area. It is completely covered with prairie and has a panoramic view.
The situation in the territory is clear at a glance. Not only the size and arrangement of docks and other buildings are clear, but even the citizens who are harvesting the farmland can see it.
This place is an important military base and must be secured.
If it falls into his hands, he will always be under surveillance.
Lin Zhensheng figured it out and climbed up Zhongshan Mountain. When he was halfway up the mountain, even if there was no other territory on the other side of the lake, he wanted to establish an outpost here to monitor all directions.
It’s another afternoon, and the sun is passing by in a hurry.
After climbing more than 200 meters throughout the day, everyone's vision gradually became clearer, and they seemed to be able to barely see the edge of the forest due east of the lake.
Two days later, the sun reached its highest point.
Lin Zhensheng stood halfway up Zhongshan Mountain and saw everything before his eyes.
Not only could he see the base camp apple orchard, he could also see the end of the forest due east of the lake.
Just as Lin Zhensheng thought, at the end of the forest due east of the Great Lake is really a prairie, square and square, similar to the prairie in his own territory.
But the distance between the two of them was too far, at least ten kilometers away. They couldn't see what was on the prairie, so they could only try to identify it in a blur.
It seems that there are seven or eight buildings on it.
It really "seems".
However, this was not what shocked Lin Zhensheng the most.
At this moment, he was standing halfway up Zhongshan Mountain, looking in other directions. He could see more than a territory at the end of the forest due east of the Great Lake.
There is also a territory due south of the base camp territory, beyond the large wetland, on the lower reaches of the East Liangjiang River, and even farther than the end of the forest due east of the big lake.
In the very distance, you can only see a square there.
The reason why Lin Zhensheng could tell this was purely because the territory was in a similar situation to his own. It was close to the Dongliang River, so there was no obstruction.
So here comes the question. Assuming that there are living people in these two territories, how should we deal with the relationship with these two families?
Taking advantage of the overwhelming numbers of people now, should you immediately lead a surprise attack?
Lin Zhensheng recalled the blueprints on the workbench. They didn't even have a decent weapon. The sharpest one was probably the stone knife in his hand.
To kill fish, you have to chop carefully and slowly with force. It can't hurt people at all. Even if it does hurt people, I'm afraid it's internal injuries caused by blunt objects.
Territory hegemony requires a fast, steady and ruthless job, a sharp knife to cut through the mess, and a quick victory. How can you have time to kill people with a dull knife?
Not possible.
We need to study how to improve the lethality of weapons.
Don't let it really get into a fight. When the two sides met, it was obvious that they were annexing territory. You are evil, but I am more evil than you. In the end, because the stone knife was whining there, the two sides fought each other for a long time, and no one lay down during the whole process.<
/p>
That's a waste of annexation. Everyone can go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.
I am too shameless to lose that person.
Just when Lin Zhensheng was thinking of an idea, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
【Ding】
