191 Bridge repair

Early the next morning, Zhao Hao took Ji Rushuang again and prepared to go hunting.

When the two of them came to the dock outside the Netherworld Valley, Zhao Hao inadvertently looked at the opposite bank, and happened to see more than 20 elites parking their boats on the simple dock on the opposite bank, ready to dig bamboo shoots and cut bamboo.

At this glance, he was instantly stunned.

Because he found that the distance between the two banks was not very far, and the width of the river in front of him seemed to be just over a mile.

Since the piers on both sides jut out into the river for tens of meters, the distance between the two sides seems to be closer.

At this time, he thought of building a bridge.

Why not build a bridge to connect the two sides of the river?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the pier at his feet, and then at the woods on the shore.

It doesn't seem to be as difficult as he imagined to repair the bridge!

In fact, he had also thought about building bridges before.

However, it was still when it was in Haotian Fort.

That section of the river was so wide that he gave up the idea of building a bridge after only a little thought.

At this time, the reason why he thought of building the bridge again was mainly because of the construction of the Netherworld Valley defense facilities, and there were too many supplies that needed to be transported from the other side.

For example, terracotta bricks, stones, bamboo and bamboo shoots, and even beef and mutton, which are eaten by thousands of people, must be transported from the other side.

In fact, there are also bamboo forests in the mountains of the Nanban, and there are many wild beasts, not to mention stones.

However, he did not dare to order people to dig bamboo shoots, cut bamboo, and take stones in the mountains of the Southern Barbarians, and as for hunting, he did not dare to do so.

Because the Nanban Mountains are too dangerous, the strange beasts here are a bit outrageous, and they are not of the same grade as the strange beasts in the wild jungle opposite.

The most powerful strength of the alien beasts in the wild jungle on the opposite side is only seven or eight thousand catties, this kind of alien beasts is nothing to Haotianbu at this time, and it is easy to send a captain to lead the team.

And the strange beasts in the mountains of the Southern Barbarians, it is rare to have a strength of less than 10,000 catties, except for those sheep monsters, rabbit monsters, etc., others, the strength is basically above 10,000 catties, as for the existence of close to the divine beasts, not to mention, there are more than 50,000 catties of strength.

In such a dangerous place, he and Ji Rushuang can crisscross it, nothing happens at all, and the rest of the Haotian Department, if they go deep into the Nanban Mountains, there is a chance that something will happen.

Therefore, he didn't dare to send people deep into the Nanban Mountains at all.

As a result, almost all the materials for building the defenses of the Netherworld Valley had to be transported from the other side, and the five large ships were a little too busy at this time, carrying supplies back and forth on the river almost all day and night.

You must know that this is not the busiest time in the Netherworld Valley, the elites of Ashan's Dragon God Battalion, Ah Shu's Jinnaro Battalion and Teng Lei's Mohuro Battalion have not yet rushed over, if the remaining three battalions of six hundred elites have all rushed over, not to mention other supplies, five big ships, just transporting nearly 2,000 people to consume beef and mutton every day are estimated to be busy enough.

If there is a bridge to connect the two sides of the river, the transportation of materials will not be a problem, and the valley of the underworld is not far from the current settlement of the Garuda camp from the north and south, and it is about four or five days away from the boat, and it is still against the current, and the speed of the galloping horse is not even half a day.

In other words, as long as a mountain path of more than two hundred miles can be carved out in the wild jungle on the opposite bank, the materials needed to build the Netherworld Valley can be continuously delivered by horse-drawn carts.

Question, is it worth it to spend a lot of manpower, material resources and time to build such a long road?

Totally worth it!

Because after this road is repaired, the Netherworld Valley will be connected to the Garuda camp, and the connection with the Garuda camp is equivalent to the connection with all the other seven battalions of the Haotian Department, so that the Netherworld Valley is not a stronghold hanging alone in the Nanban mountains, but a springboard for the Haotian Department to advance into the Nanban mountains.

Zhao Hao just stood there and thought about it for a while before deciding, repair!

Whether it is the road leading to the other side of the Garuda camp settlement or the bridge connecting the two banks of the great river, it must be repaired as soon as possible.

Ji Rushuang was wondering why Zhao Hao suddenly stood there and didn't move, but Zhao Hao suddenly turned around and said to her: "Rushuang, we still don't go hunting today, I suddenly thought of a very important thing." ”

Yes!

Not going again?

She couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Hao patted her back slightly, and explained while motioning for her to go back: "That's the case, I'm going to build a bridge to connect the two sides of the river." ”

Build bridges!

What is a bridge, of course Ji Rushuang knows, there are also bridges in Taihua, the most common is the kind of single-plank bridge, that is, a bridge with a huge tree trunk connecting the two sides of a small river.

But how can you build a bridge on such a wide river?

Ji Rushuang has a characteristic, that is, she wants to make it clear about everything.

She couldn't help but ask, "Can such a wide river be bridged?" ”

Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said, "Yes, didn't you pay attention to the dock?" We can all build a pier into the river, and we can build a bridge in the river. ”

Indeed, the pier is actually a bridge, but it is not connected to the other side.

Ji Rushuang thought for a moment, and then asked: "Then what's the use of repairing this bridge, there is also a wild jungle on the other side." ”

Zhao Hao smiled slightly, patiently explained to her, and when Zhao Hao had almost explained, the Netherworld Valley had also arrived.

The two of them had just gone hunting for less than an hour and came back, which really surprised everyone who stayed in the Netherworld, what happened?

Zhao Hao didn't explain much, he said hello, let Ah Hua ride Meng Meng and bring Beishan Aunt, and let Ah Lin ride Bai Xue and bring Ah Feng, and then he rode the white dragon and Ji Rushuang, and then rushed towards the riverside pier.

The horses were much faster than they could gallop, and in a few minutes they were on the dock by the river.

Zhao Hao directly pointed to the stump of the dock and asked, "Beishan, how deep is this river?" ”

Beishan's mother recalled: "The shallow place is only one or two steps deep, and the deep place is about five or six steps. ”

In order to unify the length calculation unit with the Taihua Department, Zhao Hao also began to implement the method of calculating the distance by step length and li in the Haotian Department, one step is about one meter five, and five or six steps are less than ten meters.

In other words, the water in this section of the river is not deep, and the deepest part may be about ten meters.

Zhao Hao nodded slightly, then pointed to the river and said loudly: "I want to build a bridge on the river to connect the two banks of the river, Ah Lin, you and Ah Feng are responsible for building the bridge with four hundred elites, in addition, I also want to build a road, from the other side of the river to the current settlement of the Garuda camp, Ah Hua, you and Beishan Ah Mu are responsible for building the road with the four hundred elites under your command and the two hundred elites of the Asura battalion." As for the construction of the camp and city wall in the outer valley, you can slow it down first, and I will ask Ah Yun and the rest of the people to hold on for a few days, and it will not be too late to wait for Ah Shan and Ah Shu to come over with their people. ”

Build bridges!

Arin looked at the wide river and was taken aback.
