Chapter 1688: Build a camp
readx;?“ In that case, we'll only be able to get in a small force, well, it's not impossible if there are more of them, but are you sure you can be that precise? Xu You suddenly realized. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info($>>>Cotton, Flower 'Sugar' Small 'Say')
"I don't know if it's exact, but we can take the time to try, ten days should be about the same, and with heavy snow, it might be easier, and by the way, we can set up our camp during this time." Xun Chen lowered his head and said slightly gloomy.
"Just disgusting the Northern Huns, let's see the other party's reaction first, whether it is a violent start to attack, or a forbearance and wait for the opportunity." Xu You touched his beard and said.
"As long as the brain is okay, it's a small-scale temptation, and then it depends on whether the situation is on guard or trying to find other ways." The judge said a little thoughtfully, he already has a certain design, but there are still many mistakes and omissions.
"Now it's up to us how we build the camp, and on what basis?" Xun Chen looked at the trial and Xu Yu and said.
"How about building a camp of two thousand acres?" The judge thought for a while, looked up at the two of them.
"It takes a lot of time and a lot of manpower." Xu You roughly calculated that the manpower required to build such a large camp was not small, and it was estimated that it would take 2,000 people to work for ten days just to repair the camp.
"Don't worry about this, plan while building the camp, and do both." Xun Chen said with a smile.
Yuan Tan, Gao Ran, and Ji Ling looked at the three Wenchen opposite them with a grim smile on their faces, completely incomprehensible.
Everyone agreed, the next day, more than 20,000 oxen and horses were directly killed in the place one mile before the Northern Xiongnu camp, and the Northern Xiongnu people who received the news at that time directly entered the state of war alert.
However, the Northern Xiongnu, who entered an abnormal state of alert, waited left and right, and waited until it was dark, and still did not wait for the attack of the Han army, until the scout cavalry came to report that the Han army began to camp on the spot, and the tribesmen of the Northern Xiongnu were relieved.
Originally, the Northern Huns, who wanted to let the war eagle send a message to the southbound tribesmen, could only extinguish this idea because of the violent snowstorm, and they also used war horses to send messages, which was not much different from looking for death in this harsh climate.
In the wind and snow of Western Siberia, as long as you lose your way, even if you have war horses and reserves, there is basically only a dead end, so the Northern Xiongnu tribe can only send a certain number of soldiers to the south as much as possible, which can be regarded as obeying the fate of heaven.
Of course, this terrible wind and snow is not entirely due to natural causes, half of it is caused by Xu You, Xian Matching, Xun Chen and their actions, but the bad thing is that now the Han army has also been affected by this level of wind and snow.
There is no very good way to even judge them to destroy this snow cloud that affects a state, and the people who forcibly change the weather of a state in the true sense of the word today against the time of day do not rely on their own ability.
Obviously, there is nothing they can do to face this snow cloud now, and it is nonsense to leave one person to weaken the snowfall and strong winds in their camp, and forcibly stop it.
The remaining two people commanded the construction of the camp on one hand, and the other took Wang Mo, Zhu Han, Tao Sheng and others to cut down the trees, and transported them back to build the camp after felling.
The 2,400-acre camp needs almost 150,000 trees, including the timber for paving and heightening, and it is estimated that five or six square kilometers of forest will be cut down.
Fortunately, in this era, there are far more trees than people, there are barren mountains and wild forests everywhere, and there will be no shortage of trees if there is anything missing, so don't say cut a 150,000 pine and fir wood, you just cut a few million roots and no one cares, and it will be a forest after more than ten years.
However, even if there is internal qi support, there are not enough high-quality tools in this era, and one person can't cut down a hundred trees a day, and if a person only cuts down fifty trees and doesn't transport them back, it's not a big problem.
However, in addition, it was more tangled to be transported back, and it was estimated that only ten to twenty trees could be done in one day, so the tree feller took more than 2,000 people to cut down the trees, and estimated that they could cut down enough trees in seven or eight days.
It is said that it didn't take so long, but there were more trees cut down, and the distance to carry it was far, and the Northern Xiongnu were originally stationed in this place not far from the forest to facilitate the winter.
For this era, the water source is not a problem in winter, the snow or something is collected and collected, and the fire is a natural and pollution-free drinking water, but it is very important to take the fire.
This is also the reason why the camp of the Northern Xiongnu is not too far from the cold coniferous forest, but this is also just cheap, Xun Chen and others used local materials to build their camp.
Xu Yu transported the timber back, and Xun Chen led 3,000 people to sawn the trees into the boards he needed, of course, at first, except for the work done by the soldiers who were born as real carpenters, the rest was purely chaotic.
Fortunately, Xun Chen didn't pay attention to it, no matter how bad the sawed stakes were, and no matter how big the problems of the planks were, he just started to build in the previously planned place.
What mortise and tenon structure, nonsense, if it doesn't work, it will be nailed, there is no iron nail, there is no wooden nail, the internal structure of the warm and strengthened wooden nails, and the uninterrupted strengthening and warm maintenance of thousands of people is not just to create the material he wants.
As for why the flammability is raised, of course, it is to facilitate heating on snowy days, and it is not easy to make a fire in winter, it is easy to burn, and it can be a little easier.
The Han army covers an area of about 2,400 acres of camp construction range, it did scare the remnants of the Northern Xiongnu, but in the current situation, the Northern Xiongnu is indeed unable to go north, and the Northern Xiongnu are not stupid, their women, children, old and weak, in the current situation once the north is very possible, no, it should definitely be on the way to form a flaw!
In the current situation that the Han army has come face to face with the Northern Xiongnu, once there is a flaw of that degree, it will be almost fatal to the current Northern Xiongnu.
Therefore, for the current Northern Xiongnu, it is the most correct choice to stand still and strengthen the guard, and the Northern Xiongnu, who think they are very smart, also do this.
The two sides only gathered for five miles, but due to the wind and snow, the Northern Xiongnu could not see what the Han army was doing, and could not send too many reconnaissance cavalry reconnaissance, so they could only observe from a distance, relying on the vague influence to estimate that the Han army was building a camp.
Xun Chen's side was much calmer, and when the Northern Huns did not directly launch a counterattack on the first day, Xun Chen understood what this group of Northern Huns thought, and when they were about to get the soldiers who were originally used to defend the camp to make the wood needed for the camp.
The soldiers who made the planks made the planks, and the soldiers who kept the planks and various materials continued to recuperate, and the whole camp was quickly built under the current situation. (To be continued.) )
