Chapter 1399 Under Holy Order
Chapter 1399
In addition to a large amount of cement bricks and stones, the Wanhong Sea fleet brought the materials brought by the Wanhong Trading Company are also excellent construction materials for prefabricated boards. The common sun in May and June also makes this place a good prefabricated board making workshop.
You only need to use bamboo sticks as thick as a finger to make a shape, then place a hollow iron tube in it, then pour it with stirred cement sand and gravel, cover it with thin cardboard, and water it fixedly every day. It only takes a few days, it is as long as one zhang, about two feet wide, and the thickness is mostly half a foot to make it perfectly formed.
A series of strong military camps that were different from the architectural style of the Song Dynasty were rising from the ground. There was no way. This was a bitter and cold place in Liaodong. If there was no place left to build enough residences, when winter came, the soldiers would not be able to shivered in the camp where the bitter wind and snow were easily blown away, right?
Mr. Zhong and Zong Ze slowly climbed the city wall that had been built to two feet high along the stone staircase.
On it, there are still more than a thousand workers working hard, inlaid the pieces of stone mixed with bricks, then pour the buckets of cement slurry into it, and then lay wooden boards on it to facilitate craftsmen and folks to trample on it, but not affecting the firmness of the newly grouted city walls.
The width of the upper end of the city wall is now two meters high, which allows the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to calmly accumulate materials to defend the city wall on it without affecting the formation.
"It seems that if you want to wait until the north wall is fully built, it will be a lot of time..." Looking at the busy city wall, although you are reluctant to leave, there is still a sense of determination in Zhong Shidao's tone.
"I'm not waiting for it. Since the Pishou Army has arrived, if the city wall cannot be put into use as soon as possible, then for our Liaodong Army, it is different from waste. In this way, let them stop increasing the city wall from now on, but start to level the wall and build the walls."
Zong Ze nodded helplessly and agreed with Zhong Shidao's view. "Yes, time is endless, but now it is nearly two meters high, and it is built with bricks and stones and cement. The solid walls are no less than Zhucheng, the north Shaanxi Road, my Song Dynasty."
"Yes, although it is much worse than that of Youzhou City, it is barely enough..." Zhong Shidao couldn't help but sigh with regret.
"But the length of this city wall is nearly five miles or six miles. Now our army can really climb the city and fight fiercely, only the five thousand elite troops from the Western Army. This battle is probably not easy to fight."
After carefully setting foot on the wooden board, Zong Ze looked north and saw that the earthen city of Suzhou several miles away was in sight.
Zong Ze was really unable to complain about the evil tastes of Northern Liao. This small village with a radius of only two miles and a mud wall of less than a meter tall was even more embarrassed to be called Suzhou.
Thinking about the prosperity and liveliness of Suzhou City in the Song Dynasty, it is a world of difference compared to this desolate city with a population of only a few thousand.
Zong Ze suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Lord Wang had said before that if he would send an army that could attract the world to help, he would probably be coming soon, right?"
Hearing Zong Ze's words, Zhong Shidao couldn't help but curl his lips and smiled unabashedly.
"Well, it should be almost here. It has been more than half a month since I received the letter from Lord Wang, so it should be almost here. Speaking of which, Zhong really wants to see what kind of elite army is, who is so powerful that Lord Wang praised so much? Can it be more powerful than the elite army of the Song Dynasty?"
When Zong Ze heard the resentment in Master Zhong's tone, he closed his mouth tactfully. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.
Everyone has a competitive spirit, not to mention that the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, which has achieved successive victories over the years, has been the case with the military of the Song Dynasty. The Western Army of the Song Dynasty, especially the Western Army of the Shaanxi North Road, dares to be the first, but no one dares to stand up and blatantly dissatisfied.
At most, I just want to whisper a few words in private. After all, no one can argue about the great achievements there.
But, the official Wang wrote a letter telling Zhong Shidao, and told Zhong Shidao in an exaggerated tone that if there is a powerful force, it will inevitably cause a sensation in the world, and the army that is powerful and powerful to the four barbarians will soon be supported.
Although Zhong Shidao could not afford to offend Wang Yang and did not dare to write a letter to retaliate, it did not mean that he, the commander of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, had no emotions at all.
After Zhong Shidao issued the order, the craftsmen responsible for building the North City Wall could only notify the civilians to temporarily suspend work as quickly as possible, and immediately start the project of flattening the wall and building the stacking wall.
At this moment, at the dock in Dengzhou, Wan Bin stood on the dock, staring at the civilians shouting horns, pushing the cannon trucks to transport them to Shanghai ships with difficulty.
"General Guo, what kind of weapons are these? They look dead." Wan Bin asked Guo Qi, the deputy commander of the Song Dynasty imperial artillery.
"These are weapons designed by the novice of Lord Wang. The names were given by the Emperor. They were the Emperor's Divine Power Cannon. With one shot, this cannon will be loud and shocked ten miles. It can be defended in close proximity or attacked from afar. Its power is rare in the world." Guo Qi, who was standing beside him, looked proudly at the cannon carts being pulled onto the huge sea ship, and said.
After being ordered by Wang Yang, he led his army to come. Guo Qi, who was about to take the Wanhong Trading Company's sea boat to the Liaodong Peninsula opposite the sea, naturally knew that Wan Bin and Wang Yang had a deep friendship. In addition, the Yuanyou Shenwei Cannon is about to come to the front of the stage, and there is no need to hide it at this moment.
"The sound is shocked for ten miles, close defense and long attack... OK, it sounds like a very powerful weapon." Wan Bin smashed his mouth, but after listening for a long time, he still couldn't figure out how to defend and long attack this thing.
"Shopkeeper Wan, when will it be all shipped and shipped?"
"At least it will be possible to load all the ships in the early morning tomorrow." Wan Bin estimated the time and looked at the piles of boxes more than one person tall on the other side. Those things were said to be all gunpowder. You should be extra careful when transporting those things. Otherwise, if the ship was accidentally ignited on the way to the Liaodong Peninsula, everyone would finish playing together with a bang.
"It will take so long..." Guo Qi's face couldn't help but look a little ugly.
"Wan has tried his best, but these things are too heavy, and transporting and boarding the ship is very difficult. Moreover, the gunpowder transport is also cautious afterwards. You must not make any mistakes because of rushing."
"If General Guo is anxious, why don't you lead the soldiers to Liaodong first, then Wan will let those ships loaded with Yuanyou divine cannons and those dangerous ammunition come?"
Guo Qi shook his head in frustration. "This is not possible. We have been ordered by the holy ones. The cannon is destroyed and the cannons cannot be separated. Forget it, tomorrow will be tomorrow. I don't know what the situation is going on on the Liaodong Peninsula?"
