Chapter 61. High cast walls

At the end of July, the Moon Valley, Garao Peak, the ancient military camp and other garrisons north of the Iron Mountain, the original 80,000 acres of tuntian, once again rejuvenated, the buds planted first have grown to the length of calves, and the potatoes planted later are also green and slap-like leaves.

However, Zhao Cheng and Tian Tao looked forward to the Zhongjian Nu attack again, but the situation of Mao Jue's disgrace did not appear, since the large-scale dispatch in June to sweep the entire northern part of the Korean Kingdom, the blue flag of Yizhou and the blue flag retracted back into the city, and it seems that the results of this year's battle have been satisfied, and they are waiting for this year's autumn harvest with peace of mind, so that several local tyrants sigh Mao Jue's shit luck.

The seventh month of the lunar calendar is almost the June of the later generations, even if the winter of this era comes much faster, July, August, September, October plus half a month of November, it can almost make Tieshan Town complete a harvest, and now all you need to do is wait patiently.

Mao Jue's 1,800 or so men and horses were also divided into five pieces by him, and they were divided into five strongholds such as Yuegu, to be honest, even if they beat down the rebel army of Tian Tao and He Baotou and other five people, in fact, the combat effectiveness of these troops has not improved much, and the real fight is still Mao Jue's 200 personal soldiers, and the remaining pieces are still a little combat effectiveness of 300 cavalry, and the remaining infantry is very vain, and the small 2,000 people and horses together are not enough to defeat the 500 people in Jianzhou, and they don't need to be all cavalry, there are 200 and 8 banner iron cavalry to beat Mao Jue down.

However, if he dares to take the lead alone and take over the defense of the entire north, Mao Jue naturally has his guard of honor, that is, a foresight of the upcoming big events.

The busyness of the farm work is over, and the remaining watering and fertilization are similar to raising vegetables, and they are left to the women and the elderly in the village to deal with. A while ago, the Jiannu sweep, coupled with the famine in Tieshan, the old, weak, sick and disabled were brutally eliminated a lot, this era of scarce men, plus the soldiers under his hands, a population of about 23,000, there are actually more than 8,000 men who are about sixteen to fifty years old, all of whom were requisitioned by Mao Jue.

Although the northern part of the Korean Kingdom is full of hills and rugged terrain, and the large plains suitable for cultivating paddy fields are almost all in the south, and the climate is still relatively dry and cold, there are also benefits in the mountains, where more than 80% of the peninsula's mineral resources are located, and even better, there are many volcanoes.

Just near this Garao peak, there is an extinct volcano with thousands of tons of ash.

A huge roar sounded on the iron mountain, barrels of black powder were buried in the cracks of the chiseled stones, and the fuse of dozens of meters burned to the end, although there was no powerful explosion of detonators in later generations, it was still as if the sky was about to collapse, and thousands of catties of limestone collapsed.

Iron Mountain food shortage is very short, but coal and iron resources are abundant can be wasted, after the explosion, thousands of strong men pushed wheelbarrows, loaded with a cart of heavy limestone back to the Garao Guard, immediately put these stones into the yellow mud to make of, termite nest like the earth blast furnace, the furnace coal burning flame has reached about 1,500 degrees of white flame level, under the hot burning, large pieces of limestone quickly peeled off, shattered.

At the other end, the clay blast furnace that had been extinguished was knocked down, and the quicklime burned into the flour was shoveled out by the shirtless strong men sweating profusely, and the volcanic ash under the thirty or so large mills at the other end was also transported by cart by cart, and these things were mixed together.

The huge stone rollers were pulled by a few bullocks with difficulty, and the path up the mountain was wider and stronger, and beside the road, countless wheelbarrows continued to carry the mixed powder up the mountain, and halfway up the mountain, where the original Garauwei was ruin, the pineapple-shaped castle painted by Adreina a while ago had a rough prototype, the whole fortress was not big, no more than two hundred meters long, and only one hundred and twenty or thirty meters wide, just like a large stadium, but the city wall was like a dog gnawing, stretching and shrinking a piece, There is no leveling place.

But the speed of this city can be called amazing, the battle of Dalinghe, Zu Dashou with more than 10,000 troops, more than 20,000 mules and horses rushed to repair Dalinghe City, at the end of the first month around the order of Sun Chengzong out of Jinzhou, and then the Golden Emperor Taiji is July 25 troops, more than half a year, than this Garao Peak is two or three times larger than the Linghe City, Zu Dashou did not repair, and painted five days to prepare Mao Jue's Jialao Fort has only three days has risen more than one meter, and there are three or four meters wide, enough to run a truck.

More than a dozen big pits were steaming hot, and the two kinds of powder pulled up from the bottom of the mountain were poured into it, and then the water was poured, and an amazing heat came to the face, and the strong men in the hot vicinity had to work bare-chested, first with a big wooden stick and desperately made it, stirring and mixing the mud in the pit for most of the day into a gray paste, and then throwing the mud and gravel into it, and then stirring evenly.

It's like making porridge.

There is a shelf on the edge, there is really no steel bar, and the anti-corrosion treatment of several meters long beams and flagpoles are inserted in the city wall, and the workers on the side are still constantly building scaffolding, making plywood with wooden planks and then stacking them up, not stacking a centimeter, and then putting the paste of a wheelbarrow into a wheelbarrow from above Hula fell, and a car was formed and piled up with a height of more than one meter.

This is the next day.

It's not good to fight, but you can command and dispatch, Su Fatzi is an absolute veteran, a bun face smoked like a boiled crab shell in the heat, this pig screams like an order, the whole construction site is carried out in an orderly manner, this batter is stirred, and the wooden plank sandwich wall at that end must be built almost the same, there has never been a time when the workers at the bottom are waiting for the empty pit, stirring the strong man waiting for the empty sandwich wall or the carpenters waiting for the paste.

At this rate, the first Liaodong Mao Jue City will be completed in less than five days, no wonder Yuan Chonghuan wants to take Mao Wenlong and replace him with a small one, Mao Jue has not shown any special talents in the war, but the operation is already a first-class must, I believe that after the Jialaofeng Castle is repaired, it will be able to give Jiannu a big surprise next year.

Relying on the fortified fortress to deal a heavy blow to the Eight Banners, Mao Jue's strategy is really similar to Yuan Chonghuan's.

Although, being able to have such a fast construction speed is all due to a cheating post-life object.

"Roman cement !!"

Adriana is not at all surprised that Mao Jue copied her works, even that she moved the location of the castle more than 700 meters eastward, deviated from the towering Garao Peak, and copied the design of the building against the mountain pass to hold the avenue but the mountain bag was slightly shorter.

But looking at the hot steaming pits, the girl was shocked, and followed Mao Jue up the mountain, this girl had already screamed and ran to the edge of the pit, and put a little face with hot water vapor, almost heat stroke, and just ran back unbelievably, like a puppy curiously around Mao Jue.

"It's definitely Roman cement! I saw it last time in Holland when I watched the Dutch fight the Spaniards! How do you have the recipe? ”

This thing has been around for thousands of years, and the engineers of the Roman Empire used it to build the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Arc de Triomphe of Pompey and the Great Bath, but after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, this thing was quickly lost, until the fall of Constantinople and the fall of the Byzantine Empire, and a large number of Greek scholars fled back with the "Ten Books of Architecture", which let the Germanic barbarians who had been barbaric for more than half the Middle Ages know that there is still such a thing.

But even so, this thing has come to prominence on the battlefield, and it is in the Dutch War of Independence in recent years, when the Spanish army and mercenaries have defeated the Dutch rebels again and again, but it is by relying on this kind of impregnable and quick cement fortress that these lowland barbarians can get back on their feet again and again, so that the Spanish commanders have wailed.

"God, any escalation of a battle here can build or destroy a country elsewhere, but here it can only smear them with mud!"

This impression has not yet faded, and in the East, which the girl thinks is backward, barbaric, and ignorant, she sees the concrete technology that is not even used in her hometown of the Holy Roman Empire, and it is no wonder that this girl is as surprised as when she sees the Pope preaching with a copy of the Analects, and her beautiful lake-blue almond eyes are round.

It's a pity, just like she hid a belly of secrets, I don't know why Mao Jue, who has a face like a bitter gourd, just loosened her shoulders.

"God told me."

When the lady also burst into foul language, this foreign girl slave girl obviously broke out in her native language that it was not a good word, and then she shouted angrily.

"As a gentleman, how can you treat a lady like this!"

"Don't forget your identity, who gave you the guts and the young master to yell! Could it be that our Mao family has no family law? ”

Suyi, who has been sour for a while, took this opportunity to roar out, and in a word, she really yelled at Adriana like a puppy in the soup, and drooped down her little brain, indeed, no matter what her identity was before, in Daming, she was just a maid who played with Mao Jue at will.

The very "big woman" style taught the "little one", but the plain clothes immediately had a bitter little face, turned around and pulled Mao Jue's sleeves, but the heart of the delicate begged.

"Young master, what's wrong with you, if there's anything unpleasant to talk to Suyi, it's really not good, you hit Suyi a few times, dissipate your anger, don't be angry!!"

No matter how entangled Mao Jue was, she couldn't help but be amused by the attitude of this pro-girl, pinching her fleshy little face with her hand and rubbing it, before she smiled helplessly and nodded in her plain bitter gourd face.

"Okay, I'll tell you, let you help your young master!"

The expression on his face became mysterious, Mao Jue shook his head tangledly, and gestured with the fan in his hand, belatedly arriving in the dizziness of the plain clothes.

"Your young master, I know a secret, if I don't tell Yuan Chonghuan, he will have to die, and he will die very miserably!"

Looking at Su Yi's cute big eyes, Mao Jue asked solemnly.

"You say, should I tell him, young master?"
