Chapter 994: Tactics[Painting cakes to satisfy hunger]

Julu Army Headquarters, marching as usual.

Ever since Li Mengxi discovered that ostentatiously catching fish can inspire people, he began to toss the fish vigorously.

Li Mengxi found that the weather was already hot, and fish attracted flies after being pickled. Ordinary soldiers might think that a few flies were fine, but Li Mengxi hated flies. He thought of various methods and came up with the idea of ​​covering the fish with gauze, but the army

There is no screen in the middle, so I thought of using poison to pickle the fish to kill the flies. After using the poison, the fish will not be able to eat.

All the methods he thought of failed to catch the flies. Not only that, Li Mengxi realized another problem.

Flies, like rats, are both sources of disease infection. Rats are okay. Raising a few cats can eliminate rat infestations. But flies, whether using poison or gauze, are not very effective. For epidemic prevention reasons, the military

There should be an effective way to kill flies. Referring to later generations, there are two common methods of killing flies in later generations, one is a fly board, and the other is an insecticide spray. After a little thought, whether it is a fly board or an insecticide,

Spraying is not easy to do.

If you consider [Animal Warfare], you can raise some natural enemies of flies to eliminate flies. What are the natural enemies of flies? Bats, birds, geckos... none of these things that can catch flies are convenient to raise, even if you raise them

Nor can it be controlled like an arm.

The tiny flies left Li Mengxi at his wits end. Li Mengxi also knew that if the war reached a point where corpses littered the fields, flies would become a disaster. By then, flies carrying germs would fly all over the city. This scene would be terrifying to think about.

.

In the end, Li Mengxi failed to think of a good way to fight against flies.

Plague is easily transmitted by mosquitoes such as rats and flies. Li Mengxi also thought that mosquitoes are also a problem. Mosquitoes can spread various diseases such as malaria. In places such as deep mountains and forests, there will be many mosquitoes in the summer.

They want to eat people.

Unlike flies, which will not affect the march if left alone, mosquitoes are different. Mosquitoes will take the initiative to bite people, making it difficult to prevent them. Li Mengxi thought about it in his mind. When he was marching in the mountains and forests one day, he happened to be in the mountains.

Mosquitoes were infested, and the army had no means of prevention. Half of the people were infected with malaria during the trip, and the other half were tortured to the point of collapse by the mosquitoes.

If you ask, is it possible to encounter situations where you need to travel through mountains and forests, there will definitely be situations, such as the Southern Barbarians. The Southern Barbarians are full of miasma and there are countless poisonous insects and snakes. When fighting in the Southern Barbarians, you must have means to guard against poisonous insects, snakes and ants.

Li Mengxi suddenly thought of two battalions of his tomb robbing team that had to move mountains and unload mountains. These two battalions were equipped to guard against poisonous insects, snakes and ants. Because the tomb robbing team often had to operate in the wilderness, and there were many poisonous insects in the wilderness, so the tomb robbing team

Wear tight-fitting long-sleeved clothes with the cuffs tied tightly. Put on thin cloth gloves on your hands. Wear long boots on your feet and tie them tightly. On the face, use a veil to cover the entire head and neck. In this way, the whole body is covered from top to bottom.

Protection, can effectively avoid mosquitoes.

As long as the soldiers are equipped with some anti-insect gauze masks, mosquitoes will not be a problem, and raising a few cats and mice will not be a problem. The two largest sources of plague in the military camp have been solved, and the flies alone are really not good.

Methods.

The only way Li Mengxi could think of was to sprinkle lime thickly on all places where flies are likely to be attracted. This should be able to drive away a large part of the flies. And since fish are caught ostentatiously to boost morale, pickled fish must be

Attracting flies is an insurmountable problem. Not only fish are prone to attracting flies, but all other wild animals, hares and wild animals are also prone to attracting flies, unless these fly attracting tools are not used.

At this point, it is finally the turn of the [Props Camp] to appear.

Li Mengxi instructed the prop camp to make some fake prop fish to replace the real fish. After two days, the master craftsmen of the prop camp completed the fake fish.

The prop camp carved the fish body out of wood, carved out the fish scales with a carving knife, and painted the entire body with white ash to achieve the silver effect of the fish scales. As an ordinary work of art, such a wooden fish is somewhat artistic, but it

It doesn’t look like it. It can be seen at first glance that it is fake. How can it be used as a substitute for real fish to deceive people?

If you failed to make the prop fish, don’t think about it. If you try to make other props such as rabbits, wild boars, etc., they will also fail.

The skills of the craftsmen can still be improved, and over time, the prop camp should be able to make something that is fake and real.

Props such as fake fish and animals can be used as a backup means to boost morale.

Caught fish and captured beasts can boost morale. When food and grass are exhausted, displaying the only remaining wild boar in the most conspicuous place so that the soldiers can see it every day can effectively maintain morale. However, in extremely desperate situations,

Under such circumstances, it is even impossible to catch fish, and even the last remaining wild boar used to stabilize people's hearts will be secretly eaten by the hungry soldiers. At this moment when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, there is no food and the only way to stabilize people's hearts is to

Fraudulent practices can only satisfy one's hunger.

The function of the prop camp is not only to make cakes out of thin air to satisfy hunger when the situation is desperate, but also has a magical effect on weekdays.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted and hid the elixir book in the belly of the fish. Unexpectedly, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had no time to carefully prepare the props. They probably just stuffed a strip of cloth into the belly of the fish. A discerning person could see at a glance that this was obviously man-made.

So they pretended not to know, but because of the heavy rain, everyone lost their time. Chen Sheng was willing to take the lead and lead everyone to find a way out, so everyone was willing to pretend not to know and cooperated with Chen Sheng in this play.

Suppose, there is no heavy rain, and there is no delay in killing all the fish, and when the soldiers kill the fish, they find a strip of cloth from the belly of the fish with the words "The Great Chu Xing King Chen Sheng", will the soldiers still respond to Chen Sheng?

The note looked like it was written by someone, and no one could see this trick that was full of loopholes. Everyone could easily see through the clues. Without the pressure of survival if everyone failed, it is estimated that everyone would immediately send Chen Sheng to the government.

If you want the Fish Belly Alchemy Book to be able to respond to a hundred responses at any time, unless it is realistic enough to be like a miracle, this is when the prop camp comes in handy.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The prop camp can use superb skills to use fish blood, fish scales and other materials to make seamless and natural traces on the fish. In this way, when someone catches a fish, they will be surprised.

I discovered that there were some strange red scales on the fish. The red scales vaguely resembled words. When I took a closer look, they turned out to be [Da Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng]. At this time, everyone was shocked as if it was a miracle. They really thought that this was a miracle.

It's God's will.

Not only the fish belly elixir book, the prop camp can also make a stone man covered with moss that looks like it has not been touched for hundreds of years. When a curious person comes forward and picks up the stone man to take a look, he is shocked to find that the moss is covered with moss.

Under it, there are engraved simple calligraphy "One-armed stone man with one eye, stirring up the seas, rivers and the world". From an ordinary person's perspective, how could the large moss-covered stone be man-made? It must be the will of God.

It is said that there was an ancient general. Before he went to the army, he specially made some copper coins with heads on both sides. He took a hundred coins and said to the soldiers, after scattering them, if the hundred coins were all heads, then this

The battle will be won. Unsurprisingly, after the general scattered the special coins, one hundred coins were all heads. The soldiers were shocked to see the miracle and their morale was high.

In ancient times, during battles, we would often encounter foxes roaring at night and sunset glow like blood. We would catch a two-headed turtle. We would encounter a fierce tiger blocking the road. We would encounter a hill like an axe. We would dig out a stone tablet with a poem engraved on it.

The word for " happens to be the same as the word for general. These are special circumstances.

In ancient times when superstition was common, these special encounters had a great impact on morale and people's morale.

Strange sights can be encountered but cannot be sought, but they can be man-made.

If there are widespread rumors among the people that there is an unknown tiger blocking the road, then why not use a prop camp to tie up a tiger with wheat straw, cover it with tiger skin, and specially have people take this fake tiger to ambush on the hilltop where the enemy must pass.

When the enemy troops passed by, they saw a tiger on the top of the mountain, and there were widespread rumors in the countryside that tiger encounters were unknown. Seeing such a situation, how could the enemy soldiers not feel anxious.

If there are rumors in the countryside that meeting white birds, white foxes, and white deer is auspicious, then why not have the prop camp specially make some auspicious animal props to use when marching out/when morale is shaken/when defeat? When you go out, you will see auspiciousness.

Beasts, morale is high. When morale is wavering, see auspicious beasts, morale is stable. When you are defeated, see auspicious beasts, and you can survive a desperate situation.

Prop camps are not only used for military purposes. Li Mengxi once saw in a history textbook that during the American Western Movement, many exaggerated propaganda posters were produced to encourage people to go west.

potatoes, corn that took two people to lift, fish as long as a person, bird eggs as big as a washbasin, and of course, domestic pigs as big as a house and poultry as big as goats.

In the East, in order to stimulate production, there are also exaggerated propaganda such as "fat pigs competing with elephants". In order to develop the Great Northern Wilderness, there is talk of beating roe deer with sticks and ladles, scooping up fish and pheasants and flying them into the rice pot.

Rumors are just rumors after all. When used for propaganda, words are not as effective as seeing is believing.

Making a domestic pig as big as a house and wheat as tall as a person are not exactly the jobs of the props camp.

Just imagine, during the march, you suddenly see a giant white deer on the top of a mountain that is taller than a tree. This is not auspicious, it is a miracle. Seeing auspiciousness, the morale of the soldiers will increase by ten points. Seeing a miracle, the morale of the soldiers will suddenly increase by one point.

Hundred.

Not to mention, if the enemy army saw a big tiger crouching in the jungle on the top of the mountain that was taller than a tree, they would be frightened. The greatest role that the prop camp can play is a fake prop tiger, or

It can directly frighten the enemy generals into not wanting to fight anymore and hurriedly withdraw their troops.

——

In order to boost morale, salted fish are hung on poles to swagger across the street. Salted fish attract flies, and there is no way to restrain the flies. From flies, it has been extended to methods of preventing epidemics and mosquitoes, to protective equipment, to using props to replace fish catches, to props in

From the role of "painting cakes to satisfy hunger" in a desperate situation, to the fact that the prop camp can be used to create miracles, which can subdue the enemy's fighting spirit, and for oneself, it can boost morale, the applicable scenarios of the prop camp have suddenly been greatly expanded.

All props can be used to create objects, whether it is a tiger as large as a mountain or a white snake as thick as a bucket. However, if you consider the logistics, there are really many materials required to create these giant props. In order to prepare these materials, the logistics pressure is slightly greater.

, therefore, small props are more practical.

There is a problem here. Giant props placed far away on the top of a mountain can deter enemies. Small props must be close. But once they are close, the requirements for realism are too high. Here, they need to be small.

, and it must be highly realistic. Dead objects are no longer enough to deceive. Only living objects can be used, such as a fish with red scales and vaguely written characters, such as a turtle with two heads, etc. These small props cannot

It requires too many materials to prepare, and because it is alive, the realism is improved. It can be said to be the optimal solution to prop tactics.

Li Mengxi curiously asked all the soldiers if he caught a two-headed turtle in the river, would it be considered auspicious? As a result, the soldiers were divided on this point. Some said it was auspicious, and some said it was unknown. The soldiers' opinions

Each is different.

From this, Li Mengxi suddenly realized a problem that he had never noticed before. He used strange things and scenes to influence people's hearts. But different people have different feelings about strange things. When he saw a two-headed black turtle, some people thought it was a century-old thing.

This rare sight is regarded as auspicious. Some people think that the two-headed black turtle is fighting for food and hurting itself, which is for unknown reasons.

The problem lies here. There is no unified explanation among the people for this strange sight. Suppose a giant tiger was made and placed on the top of a mountain to frighten the enemy. When the enemy saw the tiger, not only was it not afraid, but it felt magical.

If the tiger cheers for you, you will win, but what should you do if your morale is high?

Li Mengxi realized that the special props in the prop camp may not scare the enemy, but they may also frighten his own soldiers. The key is that the people's judgments of bad luck are different, so the prop tactics cannot be used 100% of the time.

The key is to be 100% sure of bad luck/good luck. It is known that white is generally regarded as auspicious in the countryside. There is a way to 100% boost one's own morale. To boost morale, just use white fox, white deer, white tiger and other props. These white props

100% will be regarded as auspicious by the soldiers.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And if you want to determine something that will be regarded as a bad omen 100%, you can’t find it. Folks uniformly regard white as auspicious, but there is no common sense.

Disaster omen standard.

Even the soldiers couldn't determine which thing must represent a bad omen, and Li Mengxi, a later generation, had no way of knowing.

Since the mountain cannot be overcome, I will go over there. Since I cannot ensure that props and tactics can 100% destroy the enemy's morale, I will try to ensure that the tactics are 100% useful to our own side.

For example, the two-headed black turtle is a strange object that is regarded as auspicious by the soldiers. Half of them regard it as a sign of disaster. Half of the kung fu can be done in ordinary times. On weekdays, you can choose some easy-to-make props as backup props.

For example, black turtles, black birds, three-legged frogs and the like. In daily life, if these things are conveyed to the soldiers, they are auspicious once they appear. After long-term indoctrination, the army sergeants will 100% regard these things.

Things are auspicious.

Then, when one day it is necessary to use props and tactics to boost morale, these black tortoises, black birds, three-legged toads can be arranged randomly, and when the soldiers see them, they will all regard them as auspicious, and morale will be boosted.

On the contrary, if the enemy one day wants to use prop tactics to destroy the morale of our army, the countermeasure should be to summarize all the strange and foreign objects that may appear on weekdays and classify all these strange things as auspiciousness.

Then he instilled it into the soldiers over time.

As time passed, the soldiers heard the crow of foxes at night and regarded it as auspicious; saw the sunset as red as blood, and regarded it as auspicious; saw the landslide and the ground cracking, thinking that a treasure had been born, and regarded it as auspicious; encountered a solar eclipse, and regarded it as auspicious...

The enemy soldiers' morale is shaken when they hear the roar of foxes, see mountains collapsing on the ground and see a solar eclipse, while our soldiers' morale is boosted when they see unusual sights. This will create an army with extraordinary courage.
