Chapter 324 Battle Damage on Both Sides
Everyone walked on the mountain for a day, and killed countless small animals during this period, and all turned into lunch for everyone at noon.
Finally, when it was approaching the evening, I came to the mountain stream with light brown water flowing, and it poured out from under a stone, flowing down for more than a hundred meters before flowing back into a crack.
With the previous test results of the Black Water Pond, Ren Baqian has more confidence this time. I guess this place is another kind of brine I found.
Ren Baqian continued to lick it with his fingers a little. Although it was poisonous, this dose did not cause any harm.
It was also very salty and bitter, and it tasted worse than the Black Water Pool, which made Ren Baqian shudder. Then he used his index finger to dip it a little again with joy and licked the middle finger gently.
"Not bad, a little sweet." Ren Baqian nodded slightly.
"How is that possible?" Nagu immediately disbelief and wanted to go up and try it.
However, some people were moving much faster than her. Several students were like Ren Baqian to lick it and drip it with some water. Their faces started to thrust, like dried orange peels.
"Liar!" Tonglan pointed at Ren Baqian with a twitching face.
"Huh? Don't you think it's sweet?" Ren Baqian said in surprise. "This water tastes different in different people?"
As soon as he said this, the other students also came forward to try it, and then they all thrust their faces.
A pair of hatred eyes directly hit Ren Baqian.
"Science is like this. No matter what others say, it is not as good as trying it yourself. Not only do you have to try it, but you also have to think about why it is." Ren Baqian replaced it with a kind face as a role model and induces it step by step.
"You are clearly lying to us to try." Tonglan said contemptuously, looking around with her eyes to see if there are any wild fruits or something.
Then his eyes lit up, and his body jumped to seven or eight meters away and picked a bunch of wild fruits as big as red cherries, and then put them into his mouth with a proud look on his face.
"You will know my hard work from now on." Ren Baqian said, throwing a piece of white rabbit milk candy into his mouth, and the expression on his face immediately stretched out.
"Get water." Ren Baqiandao took more of it this time, with twenty bottles. If these brines were as they thought, then the mixing ratio with black brine would always be experimented with. It would be no harm to bring more.
After all, it's farther to get here.
After the guards packed the water in a bottle, Ren Baqian looked at the sky and asked Nagu: "Is there a place nearby that can stay overnight?"
"I have to walk half a day in the nearest, and I have been delaying too much time when I came." Nagu said.
"Then look for any suitable places nearby. Let's look for them. Come back in half an hour and get some prey." Ren Baqian said to the guards. Most of the guards dispersed immediately, and some students followed them.
"Can you really get edible salt from Black Water Pond and here?" Nagu asked after the guard left.
"It should be possible." Ren Baqian didn't say too much. "So your village may not need to hunt in the future."
"What do we eat if we don't hunt?" Nagu felt that Ren Baqian was talking stupidly. Even if he could get salt, he could not eat it as a meal.
"In the future, there will be a salt factory in this mountain, which belongs to the Ministry of Works and the Royal Family. You can choose to work in the salt factory, so that you don't need to work hard to hunt. Of course, you can continue hunting, but you may have to go far away, so many people will definitely scare off the prey. Or apply for compensation and move the village to other places."
"Oh!" Nagu nodded.
Ren Baqian looked at her and thought she would have a greater reaction. After all, their village has always been here.
"Will there be any salt in the future?" Nagu asked, as she seemed to be more concerned about this issue. After all, there are countless preys in the mountains. Even if she didn't get hit today or tomorrow, she would always get hit the day after tomorrow, and she would never starve to death.
She could not have imagined that the impact of a salt farm on the village was developed here. But she had no strength to eat salt, and she knew this.
"Yes!" Ren Baqian nodded.
If there is not enough salt production here, then go to the beach of Yunguo, and there will always be salt.
"That's good!" Nagu said happily.
"Sir, can you really make salt here?" two officials from the Ministry of Works asked loudly, their faces full of disbelief.
Only now did these two people know what Ren Baqian and everyone ran to the mountains to do.
Ren Baqian looked at the two of them carefully before remembering their identities. Their presence was too low, and he almost forgot about these two people these days.
"Yes!" Ren Baqian nodded. "But how to do it specifically, I have to go back and study it."
"That's great, great!" The two of them said repeatedly. Salt was a knot in everyone's heart. After so many years, there was no way to do it. They were always pinching it to the hands of other merchants from the Three Kingdoms.
Now that they can make salt here, they really make the two of them feel excited.
After a while, all the guards came back, and one of them found a suitable place, which was the corner of the two mountain walls. Just pay attention to the beasts on the other two sides at night. And there was a protruding rock above, which could be blocked if it rained at night.
Ren Baqian took everyone to see it. It would be great if he could find such a place for a while.
Next, everyone scattered out to look for prey. This animal was in bad luck. Even if it got into the hole, it would be caught by several students.
When it got dark, everyone returned and caught a dozen small beasts that looked like deer and called dwarfs. More than 40 fat animals like mountain rats were strung together, two pythons, a flower bear... and several wild fruits.
Ren Baqian kicked the innocent giant panda who died innocently.
"Sir, although this thing is a little unpalatable, I can't find too much food for a while." The guard said with a grievance, his face full of adults, and you just want to eat. And there are so many other preys, and it's not yours that you can eat it.
"Forget it, deal with it quickly, keep the bear paw for me." Ren Baqian glared for a long time and finally sighed.
Giant pandas are national treasures on earth, but in this place it is an animal that is not very delicious and full of animals, and can't do anything except selling stupid things.
Of course, the attack power is actually not weak, almost the same as that of a bear.
Next he found a place to rest near the mountain wall and watched the guards raising the fire. Other guards and some students took their prey to nearby water sources for treatment.
One hour later, Ren Baqian used two wooden sticks to insert four bear paws and flipped over the fire, and the aroma of barbecue and seasonings also drifted out.
But not only the ones in his hands, but the other meats roasted on the fire also exuded a fragrance.
Ren Baqian and others took a little colder and ate it hard. It tasted better, generally, not very fat, even worse than pig's trotters. They immediately lost the desire to continue gnawing, threw the bear's paw to someone else, took two short beast legs and chewed it. The taste was much better.
As the moon grew higher and higher, the howling of beasts began to come from afar, and occasionally the sound of animals running in the woods not far away can be heard.
Everyone was not worried about the attack of wild animals. If there were indeed people coming, the midnight snack would be settled.
Unfortunately, before I waited for the midnight snack, I waited for a heavy rain.
The weather in the mountains changed as soon as possible. From the first drop of rain fell on the face, the rain was rising. In less than a minute, most of the fire was knocked down, and everyone shrank under the big stone.
"Look at the top, don't fall down." Ren Baqian told him that if the soil loosens, the huge rock will smash himself into a meat pie.
"Don't worry, sir." Shi Hu turned his head, his face full of rain.
Many guards were outside, blocking most of the storm for Ren Baqian and many students inside.
It rained for two hours, and the guards outside were almost wet.
The next morning, Ren Baqian and his group ate some wild fruits and filled their stomachs with a little bit and set off for a trip.
It rained last night, and the road on the mountain was much harder to walk, especially the leaves were covered with water. By noon, everyone was wet and dry.
It was not until night that everyone returned to the village hungry and almost wiped out all the remaining food in the village.
The hunting team that went out has not come back for two days. If they don’t come back tomorrow, everyone will probably go hungry.
After resting for a night, Ren Baqian drove most of the guards out for hunting early the next morning. All the students went to the river to fish and fished with their fingers.
I was basking in the sun in the village.
At night, the guards who were driven out to hunt came back with their prey, and the two hunting teams also came back with their prey, finally preventing everyone from getting hungry.
In the evening, Ren Baqian returned to Earth with two kinds of brines again, and asked the laboratory to help test and find the allocation ratio.
When he returned to Dayao, his heart was completely relieved and there was no problem with salt making.
As soon as I turned on the radio, I heard the queen's angry voice.
"Li Qianqiu, how many days will you have to arrive at Yusheng City?"
"Your Majesty, my vanguard will arrive tomorrow."
"When all the troops arrive, then attack and kill them all." The empress said coldly.
"Yes!" Li Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Ren Baqian felt a sudden slap in his heart. Something happened in Yusheng City? Could it be that the city was broken? It was so fast? Da Yao was really fierce.
After listening for a while, he realized that Yusheng City was indeed broken, and it was directly dug a hole in the Daxia sect and opened it to the city. After that, a large number of warriors from the Daxia sect entered the city through the hole and set fire everywhere. Outside, there were another 100,000 Daxia troops attacking fiercely.
It broke in just half a day.
Less than 300 troops with 2,500 troops evacuated, and 40,000 civilians were killed in battle.
Yes, died in battle.
The ordinary civilians of Dayao also have considerable combat effectiveness.
However, untrained civilians still find it difficult to affect the overall situation when facing the 100,000 Daxia army and many masters of the Daxia sects.
In this battle, the Daxia army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, while Dayao's losses were more than 2,000 soldiers and 5,000 civilians.
The battle loss ratio between the two sides has reached 2 to 1, and such a ratio is already terrifying for Da Yao.
You should know that Daxia has currently invested more than 500,000 troops on the front line, and there are still 200,000 troops ready to go in Daxia.
The total military strength of Dayao, plus the training of new recruits, is only 110,000. At present, the confrontation with Daxia are the 30,000 troops of the Northern Protectorate and the 8,000 troops that have not yet arrived in the Central Protectorate, as well as the 1,200 flying cavalry led by the Empress, only 50,000.
So far, after the two battles of Ziyue City and Yusheng City, the Da Yao army has lost more than 6,000 people, while the Da Xia army has lost no more than 70,000.
Among them, the sects of the Daxia dynasties played a huge role.
