Chapter 529: Warmth
won a complete victory, but Luo Yi and Ding Qilin were not happy, because the looted loot had nothing of value except for the weapons in the opponent's hands.
The most frustrating thing is that most of the weapons confiscated are spears and other things, and there is not much iron pieced together.
"It's too poor." Ding Qilin couldn't bear to look directly at the trophies, there were not too many pieces of armor, and he doubted how the millions of soldiers and horses of the Sui State were defeated.
Luo Yi is even more depressed than Ding Qilin, their Luo family will share the benefits when they go to war, and the battle profits they have just collected will not directly fight the Turks, and a horse team of more than 300 people will have high benefits.
"It's time to change your strategy, you can't send arrows to the enemy!" Ding Qilin said.
Now, the cost of the arrows used in the past few days has just been earned.
They led the people back to the military city and told them the results of the battle, and He Bida and the others pondered it.
"This Su Gavin is very smart, and he can come up with a way to hide people on the hillside and cover them with soil, which is cruel to himself, but as a sneak attack tactic, it is still very powerful." Hebida said.
"Yes, it took a few days to lure them out, this Su Gaiwen really paid attention, after two battles of the soldiers and horses of the Sui State, they were all facing this general, we need to know more about him, presumably they will be more cautious in the next attack." Shi Huaiyi said.
"Captain Hedu, what are we going to do next?" Luo Yi asked.
"Since the other party doesn't come out, then let's follow the original strategy, let's stalemate first, and our barracks will still be built." Hobida Road.
As a result, the barracks entered the construction period again, and the construction of the military city was fast, and the role of the military city was actually limited to allowing the soldiers to have a relatively comfortable environment to live in.
That's enough.
The Koreans did not make another attack gesture in the following time, and winter was approaching, and the soldiers in the barracks were all roasting in groups.
In addition to building a military city, they have planned to cultivate fertile land here, and more importantly, they have prepared a large amount of timber for reserves.
After a while, there will be a convoy of horses from Youzhou City to transport materials, and by the way, some timber will be transported away, and they will not forget to do business while developing.
The horse team that came this time was unusual, because it was Wei Li who led the team.
"Captain Weidu, why did you come to this bitter cold place in person." Ding Qilin and others teased.
"I'm here to bring you warmth." Wei Li said.
Several people thought that Wei Li was joking and didn't pay much attention to it, but Wei Li said very concernedly: "I brought you good things this time." ”
Saying that, there was a guard, and he brought an iron stove and some iron cylinder-like things.
Everyone saw that it was all iron, a big circle and a few small cylinders, all of them were you look at me, I look at you, and then look at Weili.
"What are these things, weapons?" Ding Qilin asked curiously.
Wei Li took the stove and began to demonstrate to the guards around him, and also found a suitable place in the barracks of the military city, and directly asked the guards to make a hole in the wall.
"Captain Weidu, how did the walls of the barracks be destroyed?" Hebida asked.
"You'll know later, let's finish the stove." Wei Li said.
Then the guards cooperated to connect the chimney and pass through the wall, and the hole was blocked with loess and water, and it took two sticks of incense to complete it.
"Go make some honeycomb coal." Wei Li said to the guard.
He Bida and the others were curious, so they went out directly with the guards, who took a lot of broken slag from the carriage, put them together on the ground, added some water, and then began to make them with special iron tongs.
It didn't take long for the honeycomb coal billet to be pressed out, and then I continued to make many pieces.
"Captain Weidu, what are these?" Hebida asked.
"Honeycomb coal, used for heating fire, can't be used now, wait, I just arrived, should I start the meal first." Wei Li said.
"It's because we're busy and forget, let's eat first." Why bother.
During the meal, He Bida and others introduced the situation in Bingcheng.
"What the Metropolitan Governor means is that you must forget about the spring ploughing of the coming year while you are on the defensive, and the materials will be prepared for you, and it is estimated that when I go back, I will continue to transport supplies for you, which is enough for you to support the autumn harvest." Wei Li said.
He Bida and the others also wanted to know Li De's next plan, they couldn't gather so many soldiers and horses in the military city, and 100,000 people needed food to eat and drink.
It took a long time to eat, because they were not only eating but also chatting about things, and this conversation lasted almost a day, watching the sunset had set, and the winter days were short, and it didn't take long for the sky to get dark.
At this time, the crowd was watching the honeycomb coal rise in flames in the iron furnace.
For the first time they had seen such a stove, it was much warmer than the charcoal stove they had used before, especially the long iron cylinders, which were extremely hot.
Even the temperature in the barracks continued to rise.
He Bida clearly felt the temperature in the room rise, and his head was sweating.
The climate on their side is like this, it is cooler in the morning and evening, and they usually wear more clothes, and when the temperature rises, several generals all feel it.
"It's warm." Ding Qilin said.
"This is the stove that the Metropolitan Governor asked us to bring to you this time, use the stove to keep warm, and you can also set up an iron pot to boil water to cook, now the restaurants in Youzhou have begun to become popular, it will be easier to drink boiled water in the future, and tomorrow you can arrange someone to renovate the barracks and install the stoves." Wei Li said.
With the stove, the soldiers were much more comfortable in the barracks at night, and Hebida could wait for tomorrow to immediately get people into action.
So for a night, the craftsmen were all working in discredit, and some of them did not have time to make honeycomb coal, so they directly used coal to put it in the honeycomb coal stove that had been burned and then took it to another furnace.
In the second half of the night, everything was done, and the next morning many people slept because the room was warm, and it was not until the war drums beat that everyone was awakened.
He Bida was a little embarrassed, after all, the vanguard rarely had such an unpunctual situation.
Wei Li said that he understood, because he had a comfortable environment, he couldn't get up himself.
After the training of the soldiers and horses after the lecture, the daily training can not be stopped, 100,000 soldiers and horses are divided into different places to train, running, fighting are the most basic training subjects.
It takes an hour of training every day to disband and do something else.
Wei Li looked at it and left early, he still had a lot of things to do, the craftsmen he brought with him had already started to work, and it was necessary to build a bathroom.
