There were no stones outside Pengcheng that could be mined directly, and the carriage would be too heavy to pull if the stones were carried, so the soil could only be made stronger by compressing the earth.

In fact, the foundation of the ancient city wall was built with earth walls, that is, walls made of rammed earth.

Ramming earth is actually an action, and as a verb is ramming, that is, constantly compacting the soil, so that a large puddle of soil becomes a solid, dense mixed mud block with few gaps.

The production of rammed earth walls is very cumbersome, requiring the use of heavy objects, such as stones, huge sunken wood, constantly patting and building the soil, and then layering and then slapping and building, layer by layer to form a solid foundation.

This kind of work is tedious and huge, and it takes millions of laborers to do it slowly, and the public transport team certainly did not bring so many people out to build the city walls.

Fortunately, although there is no way to directly build a kiln factory to burn bricks, and there is no way to get so many people to ram the earth, it is still possible to use the principle of leverage to make carpentry tools that can compress the soil with less effort.

Through such a tool box, pieces of adobe bricks that have been compressed and solidified like a shape are made, and then stuffed into the carriage of the carriage and built up.

The carriage is specially made, the adobe tool box is also specially made, and each place is perfectly designed, which can be said to be the gospel of obsessive-compulsive patients, and the adobe made can just fill the carriage, and the last piece may have to be sprinkled with sand as a "lubricant" to stuff in.

Finally, when the civilian carriage was all stuffed with dirt, the heavy carriage theoretically had enough impact resistance comparable to that of the city wall.

Of course, this is only in theory. After all, most of the walls were made of stones, and even the walls were mixed with a lot of stones and shells, as well as some extremely sticky clay.

A low city wall like this, with "wood as the shell and adobe as the heart", must be far less hard than the serious city wall.

As for the connection between the carriage and the carriage, it is an unusually elaborate mortise and tenon structure, which can be plugged and fixed with wood and planks, and then some of the gaps are filled with earth and gravel and poured with cement.

In this way, they can be completely connected, leaving no gaps, no flaws.

After the rough construction is completed, the next step is to paste the mixed cement directly onto the rough low city wall, and fix it with wooden boards, so that the cement will air dry for half a day.

If you are willing to use fuel, heating with a flamethrower can also speed up air drying.

The public losing class does not look too high, and the city wall of only two meters is gradually taking shape, and I have a sense of steadiness in my heart.

When they first arrived here, everyone's nerves were tense, and everyone was worried about what to do in case of a big wave of zombie attacks.

Although there are flamethrowers, the flamethrowers also need to change the fuel, and they may not be able to "cremate" all the zombies that come to the attack.

In such a situation, only thick and strong walls can give people a sense of security.

When the city wall gradually formed, everyone's heart was relieved.

"Zombies are coming! To the southeast, flamethrowers ready!" shouted one of the soldiers who was lying on a tall stake.

"Hey, I've really found a good time...... Everyone enter the bunker!" Xiong Zhong glanced back in the direction where the zombie was coming, and then without thinking, he picked up the cement in his hand and stabbed it, and immediately entered the middle of the bunker from the position of the chariot.

The previous infrastructure renovation was all carried out on civilian carriages, and the chariots were not altered in any way, which was equivalent to leaving a door for the round bunker to facilitate the entry and exit of people.

As for safety, places with flamethrowers are arguably the safest.

"How many zombies. The squad looked up at the soldiers who were watching.

"There are many, too many to count!" the soldier's tone was a little flustered, "I don't know where so many zombies came from, dense, too terrifying!"

"Trouble...... If there are so many zombies, they may not be able to withstand it. Xiong Zhong also came to the observation deck and said in a solemn tone.

"Wait, wait!" shouted the soldier in charge of the lookout again, "they are going in the direction of Pengcheng!

Xiong Zhong and the public loss class glanced at each other, both a little confused.

"The fire dragon soldiers are on standby at any time!" the public squad ordered after looking at the sky, "The others continue to build the foundation, do not stop, and strive to complete the first line of fortifications before dark." ”

The Dragonsman is a soldier who specializes in the operation of flamethrowers, so named because the pillars of fire that erupt from the flamethrowers resemble a roaring fire dragon.

"Yes!" everyone took the order, picked up the cement and poked it one after another, and continued to do what they should do.

Although it was shot by the zombies this time, it also gave everyone a wake-up call.

The public transport squad also set up eight bamboos in eight directions in the east, south, west, north, southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest, and there was a lookout on each pillar to monitor the movement of the zombies at any time.

Finally, when the sun was about to set in the west and the sun was gradually fading, the first line of fortification was completely completed.

What appeared to the public was no longer a rudimentary wall made of horse-drawn carriages, but a sturdy circular fortress made of cement and sand.

Under the drying of the flamethrower, the cement dries very quickly, which greatly reduces the time, and through the drying of the flamethrower, the otherwise wet ground also becomes dry.

"Unexpectedly...... It was really done in one day......" Wang Sheng said with some disbelief.

He looked at the unused cement in the middle of the bunker, a little incredulous, and he suddenly understood why his father would say that Ouyang was the one who could change the whole world.

As long as there is such a thing, where can't a city be built?

Lofty mountains, deep mountains and old forests, and even uninhabited islands, people's footprints will be all over the place where they can set foot!

"Yes, everyone is very hardworking, and there is almost no rest. Cheng De sighed, "Of course, the most important thing is Mr. Ouyang's flamethrower and cement. ”

At the mention of Mr. Ouyang, his tone was a little gloomy.

Powerful, wise, there is nothing that Mr. Ouyang can't solve. If there is, as long as Mr. Ouyang thinks about it, he can solve it.

Looking at the fruits of their labor, everyone more or less thought of Ouyang, whose life and death were uncertain.

So much so that although they were relieved, everyone did not have the joy of success, and even everyone's mood was slightly low.

Many of them were like Chengde, who were taken care of by Ouyang, and if it weren't for Ouyang's participation in this operation, they might still be staying in the land and building houses.

"I'll get here for the time being, and we'll do the second line of fortifications early tomorrow morning. The bus squad said to the crowd, "Take out all the jerky from the car, and we'll eat cakes with broth at night!

"Whoa!"

With the last bit of spirit, they took out their tents from the twenty civilian wagons, set them up with some wood, and began to make a place to camp and rest at night.

In other parts, a few cauldrons were set up, and the snow water that had not yet melted was filtered, and the broth was prepared.

................................................

Let's move forward the time, and come to the time when Xiong Zhong and the others have not yet come out of Jumu, and take a look at what Jingyang and Zhaoshe in Pengcheng are doing.

In fact, they didn't do anything, but when they saw that the snow had stopped, they organized their men very ordinarily and began to clear the thick snow in the city.

On the roads, on the roofs, everything was cleaned and piled up.

When many naughty children saw the snow scene, they couldn't help but run out excitedly, started a snowball fight, and built a snowman.

In ancient times, there was a scarcity of recreation, and although adults were worried about their fields and harvests, they did not stop much.

Pengcheng, like many cities in the Chu State, received orders from Yingdu.

At that time, whether they believed that such zombies would appear or not, or for other reasons, they quickly made a series of defensive measures at the first time, and before the zombies besieged the city, they built the entire city like an iron bucket, and solved a nobleman who had been disobedient to Jing.

And when the zombie siege broke out, it was only slightly damaged, and everything else was normal.

Now, except for not being able to leave the tall walls of Pengcheng, everything seems to have returned to its former peace.

Although the relationship between Jingyang and Zhaoshe can be good enough to change clothes, maybe it is because they are still thinking about it, or maybe they are guests after all, Zhaoshe is always a little uncomfortable in these days in Pengcheng.

At the beginning of the heavy snowfall, he proposed to Jingyang that he wanted to go back to his Fengyi City to have a look.

In the Xia Dynasty, Zhong Kang divided "Deng" to his son, and experienced the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty, and the Western Monday until the Spring and Autumn Period, all of which were called Deng Guodi.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wen of Chu destroyed Deng in the twelfth year and called it "穰", which means "abundance, harvest".

Most people will be unfamiliar with "Qiangcheng" and "Dengzhou" alone, but if you talk about its later name, "Nanyang" and "Xinye", then many people will know where it is.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the allusions of "three visits to the thatched house" and "burning Xinye" made people have a very deep impression of Xinye.

And Liu Yuxi wrote in "The Burrow": "Nanyang Zhuge Lu, Xishu Ziyunting" The famous sentence of "Nanyang Zhuge Lu, Xishu Ziyunting" makes all those who have read the book know that "Nanyang" is a place of outstanding people.

At this time, the city was not as prosperous as Nanyang later, and there were not so many outstanding people who could change the entire history of China, but since it can be called the "harvest city", it must show that the water conservancy and agriculture of the city are extremely developed, at least it can achieve a "bumper harvest" every year.

The heavy snowfall came too suddenly, and many crops in Pengcheng were not harvested in time, and according to his estimates, Pengcheng's grain and grass could only be eaten for three months at most.

And as a more fertile city, even if the heavy snow also comes, there are still many things that have not had time to be harvested, which should be much more abundant than Pengcheng's existing savings.

Theoretically, it should be the time to start planting winter wheat in the summer.

But judging from the thickness of the snow, it is estimated that it will be difficult to plant for a while. If you continue to do this and wait, you will have to wait until the grain and grass are eaten, and then you will have to "eat people".

"Thank you Brother Jingyang for your hospitality in the past few days, but I have been a little restless these days, and I guess something is going to happen. Zhao She explained, "Wancheng, which is not far from the city, is not a good one, as a branch of the Xiong clan, it has been eyeing our three clans for a long time. If you don't go back, I'm afraid that the city will change. ”

This is actually the truth, Wancheng's Mi clan is a branch of the Xiong clan, no matter what, it must help his master to deal with other nobles who can affect the royal family.

And Wancheng and Wancheng are very close, if it is an infantry, it only takes half a day to feel each other's corners, and the king of Chu will put the Zhao clan and the Mi clan in the city and Wancheng, and there is no meaning to contain each other.

"Yes...... Then it won't be convenient for me to keep you anymore. Jingyang is quite empathetic, of course, it may be that the burden of entertaining Zhaoshe is indeed a bit big, and he also wishes that Zhaoshe would go back and save a batch of grain and grass.

Pengcheng is a strategic place, although the savings of grain and grass are not small, but he doesn't want to squander it at will and raise a group of idlers.

"Then let's go out at noon to-day, when the living corpses are tired, through the south gate. Shosha said his plan.

At noon, the zombies will become a little sluggish, and if they run fast, they will be able to escape.

"It's okay, I'll send someone to bleed some death row prisoners at the north gate, attract the attention of some living corpses, and create conditions for you. Jingyang said, making a supplement to Zhaoshe's plan.

Both of them are extremely outstanding patriarchs of the great nobles, and the habits and coping methods of zombies have long been figured out.

As for the condemned prisoners...... That's the aristocrat who has always opposed the Jing family.

"That's right...... In fact, when it comes to uneasiness, I also have some uneasiness in my heart. Jingyang suddenly said, "It seems to be ...... Something bad is about to happen, and I always feel uncomfortable. ”

Zhaoshe was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Jingyang to have this situation, but he didn't take it seriously: "It's probably because I've been surrounded by zombies in the past few days, and I'm suffocating." He said unconcernedly.

"Also, after all, we are trapped in the city, and there is no way to grow food in the farmland outside. ”

Jingyang nodded, not paying attention to this feeling of uneasiness, he found a barely suitable and reasonable reason for himself, comforted himself, and put this uneasiness behind.
