Chapter 31 Red Leaves
After the lightning, heavy rain did not arrive as promised, and dark clouds continued to cover the sky.
When they gathered in the barracks again, the 232 people were all dressed up. Although the quality of the armor was very low and the weapons in their hands were strange, they finally looked like an army.
"Aren't you worried that you can't distinguish between enemies?" Yu Qiuping opened his parcel and took out the small parcel containing paper-folded red leaves. "Each of you took a red leaf from me, inserted it on your helmet, and used this to distinguish enemies."
I really didn't expect that these red leaves would come in handy.
"From the moment you insert this red leaf, you will become a free person again, which means you are willing to follow me, Yu Qiuping and fight for freedom." Yu Qiuping said in a deep voice, taking the lead in picking up a red leaf and fixing it in the gap on his helmet.
The 232 squads stepped forward one by one, bowed respectfully, took the red leaves from Yu Qiuping, piously inserted them into their helmets, and stood at the center of the barracks again. When the last squads finished picking up the red leaves, the personal guards suddenly stepped forward and also took a red leaves and inserted them into their heads.
"I have said that I will follow the steps of the adults in this life," the personal guard answered Yu Qiuping's doubts, "Of course I have to follow the adults."
Charlie also took out a red leaf from the package and inserted it into his helmet, but said nothing.
Keito Amano looked at everything in front of him and suddenly remembered that when he met Yu Qiuhei, he asked Semena Shin-shou about this person, Semena Shin-shou suddenly smiled.
"I am a very special person and will definitely have a promising future." Semine Shinji said, "Do you want to hear his story?"
...
Suddenly, Amano Keido squatted down and took out a red leaf from the bag under Yu Qiuping's surprised gaze.
"Master Amano?" Yu Qiuhei said in surprise, "You are Lord Seine's tana, and your level is still above me. You are..."
Keido Amano did not rush to put the red leaves on his helmet, but stared at Yu Qiuping silently. His cold face, which was almost bloodless, made Yu Qiuping feel a little worried.
"Sir, what you said just now is amazing." Amano Keidu said in a low voice, "I have also heard of some rumors about you and some remarks about you. You are very different from others I have met. I admire you for your kindness and kindness."
"And, there is a very strange feeling on the adults," Amano Keito looked at Yu Qiuhei's increasingly surprised expression, "I don't know what I have experienced? But the words and deeds I have witnessed and heard of, give me the feeling that I am not like the people of this era. My views on the law and the cycle of chaos have come to the forefront. I will be willing to help more than 200 slaves; in the face of the harsh situation, I abandoned the dignity of the warrior and used the flag without hesitation; in the face of powerful enemies, I dared to trap the lonely city; it is the first time I have heard someone who used freedom and inheritance to replace the old-fashioned fame and fortune to successfully inspire the morale of the army; your kindness is scattered, and people involuntarily want to follow and help."
"If you believe in your own vision, you are definitely not a thing in the pool. You will become successful one day." There was still no trace of turmoil on Amano's face, as if you were just narrating the facts calmly.
"I can take the liberty to ask, is it an adult's ideal or ambition?" Amano Keidu blinked suddenly, and his deep pupils seemed to pierce Yu Qiuping, and asked anxiously.
Yu Qiuping was stunned and sneered, "I am just a young general, but my ideal is so big that you can't imagine it."
"As long as the lord is determined by the world, he will follow him to the death." Amano Jingde put Hongye respectfully on his head and clasped his fists.
Use my evil to protect the good of the adults.
More than two hundred footsteps with red leaves were gathered in the barracks of Zhili, a small town. They had no confidence in victory, nor did they have excellent equipment and sufficient training. They just followed the footsteps of the young man, put on red leaves, fought with him, fighting for freedom, fighting hard to fight their own destiny. The red leaves became a symbol that distinguished them from their status, and also became the sustenance of faith. Yu Qiuping looked at the red leaves forest that was slightly shaking with the breeze in front of him, and suddenly felt extremely proud.
This is the first time that the Red Leaf Army, who will be scared of the world in the future, shining on the historical stage.
"There seems to be no problem with the grain." Yu Qiuping looked at the pile of grain in the warehouse, "The food stored here is enough for us to eat for two months."
"There are 42 bows and arrows in total, but they are all eliminated from the front line. There are more than 800 arrows, but many of them are inferior products." Yu Qiuping sighed.
These more than 200 people were divided into five groups by Yuqiuhei, of which 35 people who could shoot archers were handed over to Charlie, and 1o and 4 horses were handed over to the personal guards for communication and communication in the city. Among the remaining people, the four original leaders, Fukushima Akazen, Mimaezaki Nakahide, Yoshika Katsumasaki, and Ogawa Yudong, each led 45 people. Each of Yuqiuhei temporarily gave a position of ease, asking them to take charge of a team. The remaining people were scattered to various important warehouses and Tianshou Pavilion to be responsible for guarding and watching. Yuqiuhei, Amano Kyoto, Lishou Pavilion and his people stayed in Tianshou Pavilion to be responsible for the commander-in-chief.
Yu Qiuhei now asked Yoshigang Katsumasa to patrol the city wall and monitor the movements of the Oda family outside the city. Each direction of the city wall is about 10 meters long and about 4 meters wide. Since the city wall is about 5 meters high, it should be impossible to climb without the help of siege equipment. Therefore, Yu Qiuhei was not very worried about the threat of the Oda family's horse cavalry. However, the north city wall has collapsed and can make people climb directly. Therefore, Yu Qiuhei specially left Yu Qiuhei's small team defense there to prevent the horse cavalry from dismounting and forcibly siegeing the city.
The rest of the people gathered in the Tianshou Pavilion where Yu Qiuping is now, discussing the issue of how to defend the city. Since Yu Qiuping never had the experience of defending the city, he could only rely on everyone to discuss it together.
"When defending the city, you not only need arrows, but also a large amount of wood, rolling stones, and even boiling oil," Yu Qiuping recalled the knowledge he had seen in the book before, "I'm afraid there will be no more arrows. If you roll stones with wood, you should be able to find some substitutes in the city."
"Is there any oil in Zhili City?" Yu Qiuping asked.
"There are, and there are still many," replied Mimaezaki Nakahide, "There was a batch of oil that was originally intended to be sent to Naruto City. Because the food was more important, it was delayed and stored in the warehouse."
"But, the most urgent thing is," said Fukushima Yasunaga, "the walls of the North Castle should be repaired first. Otherwise, the Oda family will attack there by then, and all our preparations for defending the city will be wasted."
"Does there be any materials for restoring the city wall in the city?" Yu Qiuping asked, "Mud, stone, wood, etc... and some tools."
"There are tools, but they are just mud, stones, etc., and I'm afraid there are no ready-made ones." Fukushima Ansei sighed.
"Send someone to measure how much stone and wood is needed."
After eating some dry food prepared, all the measured personnel came back.
"That's it," Yu Qiuping took out paper and pen from the table after obeying their report, and the personal guards immediately helped grind it.
Yu Qiuping wrote quickly on the paper, while muttering, "Stone, wood, rolling stone, wood, boiling oil, mud..." After Yu Qiuping finished writing, he looked up at the people around him, "This is what we want to prepare."
"We have 236 people now. If the Oda family does not attack, we will probably be able to free up 20 people to do their homework." Yu Qiuping wrote on paper.
"It's too difficult, sir." Fukushima Ansei sighed, "The Oda family will probably attack tomorrow at the latest. We can't prepare for so many things."
"Who said that? How can you know if you haven't calculated it?" Yu Qiuping chuckled.
"Our master is the one who settles the accounts," added the personal guard.
"It seems that our main source of materials is to demolish the buildings in the city." Yu Qiuping glanced at the buildings within a radius of 1 ooooo square meter. "Fortunately, there are no houses, and they are basically public buildings, so they will be demolished."
"Whoever has you ever done this kind of engineering job? Come here, I need data." Yu Qiuping greeted a few times, and the plasterer's foot was found.
"How long does it take for a person to tear down a house? I mean to remove all the beams and the stones used to build the house." Yu Qiuping pointed out of the window, "The size of the house is the ones outside the window."
"The villain thinks it will take a long time... The villain has only worked with many people in collaboration before." The slight said honestly.
"Then you think a few people are most efficient in dismantling and will not waste it." Yu Qiuping asked quickly, "Speak faster, be rush, don't hesitate. Don't talk to each other."
"Uh...yes!" The novice said quickly at Yu Qiuping's urging, "I think it's best for five people to tear a room, it will be almost half an hour."
"How much stone and wood can you get by tearing down a house?"
"Uh, probably..." Zu Qing reported a few numbers, Yu Qiuping quickly wrote down on the paper, "Just use the beams as squash wood, and use large stone bricks as rolling stones. After deducting these, how much is left?"
After roughly estimating how many numbers were reported, Yu Qiuping recorded it on paper again with Arabic numerals.
"Where is the transportation? How long will it take to transport these stones and wood to Kita Castle?" Yu Qiuhei looked at Fukushima Ansei, "If the brothers carry these things, it will take about a cup of tea to transport them from the south to the north."
"Start demolishing it from the south first," Yu Qiuping said. "There is the most likely thing to encounter war in the north, and the house can be kept for street fighting." While saying that, he recorded the approximate handling degree on paper.
"How long does it take to transport these things up through the stairs inside the city wall?" Yu Qiuping raised the question again.
…
About a quarter of an hour later, Yu Qiuping collected all the required data. "You go out and wait, give me two quarters of an hour." Yu Qiuping smiled, waved his hand, and beat everyone out. "If the Oda family has no intention of attacking, recall some of the people on the city wall, leave 2oo people to gather in the Lord Tianshou, and then number them from 1 to 2oo."
"Sir, you want to..." the personal guard asked in confusion.
"Set multiple equations and plan linearly." Yu Qiuping showed a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.
When the two people were noisy under the city, they finally completed the number and remembered their numbers, the gate of Tianshou Pavilion suddenly opened. The slighters watched Yu Qiuping's wrists movably and settled accounts. They held a stack of papers with ghost talismans and strange cross-shaped patterns in their right hand. They held a piece of paper with densely recorded many things in their left hand.
"It's the first time of Yin! Listen to it, and read our action plan next. I will repeat it twice, and please remember your tasks for each number." Yu Qiuping stood on the second floor and said to the footmen underground.
"From the first hour of Yin to the fifth hour of Yin, everyone will be south of Tianshou Pavilion, from west to east, according to the number, five people will start demolishing the houses in groups. Each group must demolish the houses responsible at the fifth hour of Yin."
"Then, no. 1 to 5o immediately transports the wood and stones to Beicheng. No. 51 to 7o transports the beams of the room and sends the stone bricks to Tianshou Pavilion. The remaining 71 to 2oo continue to demolish the houses."
"After the transportation of 51 to 7o, I immediately rushed to Beicheng to start mixing stone slurry and helped transport the wood and stone materials to the required location. From 1 to 5o, I was responsible for starting to repair the city wall. Half an hour later, from 51 to 7o stopped working, went to the place where the house was demolished, transported the wood and stone bricks to Tianshou Pavilion and returned to the construction site to help demolish it. Then from 71 to 9o, I stopped demolishing, transported the removed wood, and went to the city wall. After all, I started mixing stone slurry. After half an hour, I rotated again. After the next 2o, I repeated the above actions. After enough stones, everyone rushed to Beicheng for repair."
Looking at the confused expression below, Yu Qiupi smiled, "Don't worry, I will read it twice. At that time, I will write down the specific action process and hand it over to Lord Wei and Lord Amano. Lord Wei is responsible for the management of the rotation transportation team, Lord Wei is responsible for the management of the dismantling site, and the two who have worked as plasterers just now, you are responsible for the management of the repair of the city wall."
After Yu Qiuping read it twice, the teenagers below probably understood it, and then they all showed surprise and expectation. In the past, they worked together, and a bunch of people rushed to a place, finishing the place before doing the next item. Yu Qiuping used linear planning to obtain the best personnel allocation and engineering process, which could save a lot of time.
"If everything can be carried out according to the plan, I will still leave a budget of half an hour, so we can complete the project at six o'clock in the hour of Xu. However, after the sun sets, the construction efficiency of torches will decrease. Please sit and drag it into the hour of Hai."
As soon as they heard that they could finish their work today, the teenagers below showed incredible expressions, and then they sent cheers to Yu Qiuping.
"Our great benefactor is really capable." Mimaezaki Nakahide smiled and patted Fukushima Ansei's shoulder, "It's all-round."
