Military merit is a good thing, everyone wants it, after this New Year, the city of Yiju has gathered four generals, six guerrillas, and three capital divisions, and there are no ways to count the thousands of generals.

The news reached Lushun on the eighth day, the old man actually didn't fight, and immediately rushed back, now Yizhou has almost gathered more than 16,000 troops, and the number is still rising, although I don't know what Houjin will mean to Yizhou, but it is good to have more people and horses, at least give Huang Taiji a false impression, Dongjiang Town will spare no effort to defend Yizhou.

Although what annoyed Mao Jue was that the military report for his merits had to be changed again and again, not to mention Geng Zhongming, even Shen Shikui actually had gifts handed over, and all kinds of favors under the military merit book became a patch, at the beginning, Mao Jue's own name took Wen Meng Dahai a few, and then there were a few more Tian Tao and He Buns, and the swords and soldiers of the bad people had also seen blood, and then later, there were more and more, and they were almost more than four hundred, and the sky was pitiful, he was only eight hundred relatives when he attacked the city, I really don't know how these guys came out.

Fortunately, these guys know each other and bring their own food, if they let Mao Jue supply military food! Maybe this young general will really go crazy and beat out all this group of cheeky military exploits.

However, this group of people is here, and it is not all good, at the very least, the labor force is enough.

Anyway, the main generals of each army mainly rely on the three or four thousand personal soldiers, and the remaining more than 8,000 are playing soy sauce to watch the excitement, these main generals all have asked Mao Jue, and they naturally have no way to agree to Mao Jue's request to borrow troops.

As a result, the Yalu River has become a big construction site again.

In February in Liaodong, it was also dripping into ice, and there was only a white snow between the heavens and the earth, but on the river beach, even the strongest ice had melted, and more than 20 small blast furnace steamed buns with lime were set up there, and there were many coal mines here in Yizhou, not to mention the red stove, not to mention cotton clothes, and the people nearby took off their single clothes.

On the other hand, there is still a large cement pool, and the reaction between lime and silica will also dissipate heat, and the workers who stir the cement slurry are also sweating.

However, those borrowed soldiers don't have this treatment, even if it is a concrete fort, it needs a lot of wood to make the core, especially how high the fortress is, how high the wood must be, because now Mao Jue really can't make steel bars, so he can only replace them with wood.

Fortunately, he had an internship in a shipyard and knew how to heat treat antiseptic wood, so he never thought of using it here.

A few meters of primeval forest wood weighs hundreds of catties or even a ton, and there are no trucks in these years, and the soldiers eat and drink spicy, and they have to gnaw wood in the primeval forest, one by one as if a cat is calling a seedling.

Fortunately, it is winter now, and the cruel winter has also brought some benefits, as long as the wood is resisted out of the forest, placed on a sleigh, dragged by horses and people, the wide snow road is like a highway, and the wood can be quickly transported to the Yalu River.

Fortunately, there are snow roads, there is no volcanic ash in Yizhou, and the volcanic ash of the sleigh into the sleigh is also transported to the Yalu River in this way, subject to the supply of raw materials, Mao Jue's fortress construction is a little slower, but in mid-February, it is almost the construction of the shipwreckage, on both sides of the pontoon wreckage of Jiannu, two fortresses of more than six meters arrogantly stand there, if the Yalu River in front of you is a huge blood basin mouth, these two fortresses are like two front teeth like a left and a right erected there, who dares to come in from this mouth, you have to bite him and squeak him.

In terms of area, these two fortresses are really not big, but the ancient military camp, those forts in Moon Valley are at least the size of a large stadium, and these two are enough for a small playground, sixty meters long and more than fifty meters wide, which is enough to station about one hundred and fifty hundred people. But don't look at the small size of this fortress, if you want to talk about the degree of solidity, I am afraid that even tens of thousands of troops will not be able to attack it for a few months.

In particular, Mao Jue has a lot of firearms.

"Hang yourself! Hard, one, two, three, pull! ”

Knowledge is power, to pull a full few hundred catties or even two tons of things to the fortress of more than six meters, this era is very difficult, but set up a triangular wooden bracket on the top of the city, and set up a few groups of pulleys under the wood, and the people below shouted to pull the rope, this thing was easily hoisted.

Moreover, these cast-iron heavy cannons, which are modeled after Hongyi cannons, have also been additionally enhanced in Mao Jue's hands.

"The general is really a genius!"

Su Changmei worked as a gunner in her early years, and later because she could count shells and be equipped with gunpowder, she rose step by step to the logistics quartermaster in Shang Kexi's battalion, holding thousands of household seals, but standing on the head of the fortress, this goods couldn't help but stretch out their hands and stroke a heavy red-coated cannon that had just been assembled.

Unlike the original two sandbags or simply a wooden rack under the cannon, this gun carriage is a lot more complicated, two pig iron pillars like a triangular grid ruler support the cannon to stand up quickly, the cannon lugs are stuck in the front triangle iron, a bit like compass iron, pig iron construction, iron chains are tied to the gun head, the iron chain is tied to the steel pillar in the center of the two iron frames, and two gear sets are stuck at one end of the column, or the iron chain is connected to the hand crank at the bottom.

In addition, there are four angled gears fixed on the ground at the solid wooden base of the triangular iron column, which is stuck on a circle cast iron track, and there is also a manual knob connected to the base through the chain gear, such a turret, three people can control the muzzle to quickly rise, lower, adjust the angle, direction, not to mention the East, not even the West of the same era, Su Changmei is not too tired, happily holding the runner and turning non-stop, raising the cannon for a while, and rotating a ninety degree for a while.

As for the foreign girl, Adriana still asked in dismay, with her usual round eyes.

"How did you make such a thing!"

But soon, the girl snorted angrily: "Ask God again!! ”

With his hands behind his back, watching the assembly of the second cannon, this time Mao Jue answered her rarely, satisfying the curiosity of this girl.

"Don't ask God this time! This is an organization called Society B, and the church is small. ”

Mao Jue didn't lie this time, the prototype of this big fort, but when he played Fallout 4, the famous Volunteer Cannon, this thing can hit half a map, Mao Jue is a few in each settlement, no matter where it is, it is the first shelling, but I never thought that there was a chance to realize this thing.

Mao Jue was frank and honest, but this girl was disdainful, and stomped her little foot angrily: "If you don't tell, don't tell, don't believe it!" ”

"Don't believe it!"

I was happy, Mao Jue was also a stomp on her feet, followed by a pinch of the old man's waist, this scene saw that Su Changmei, who had just recovered from the excitement of the cannon, almost fell into the city.

Tiger squat cannon is equipped with twenty forts, so that the fort tiger squat cannon is equipped with seven at the four corners of the castle, and there is a cannon rack in the corner of the corner in the direction of Yizhou City, no way, even if it uses the iron mold casting cannon technology at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the cast iron of the iron mountain is enough, but the cannon is also technical work after all, these seven are already located in the Moon Valley gun workshop for more than half a year, and even the Yizhou city wall and Garao, the fortresses built earlier in the Moon Valley are not equipped, Mao Jue's obsessive-compulsive disorder can only look at the empty corner and feel uncomfortable.

However, the Hongyi cannon can be fired for five to seven kilometers, after the seven cannons are installed, the flexible mobilization of the artillery can make the firepower to the limit, within a radius of fourteen kilometers are the range of artillery strikes, Yizhou City is also within this firepower radius, if Jiannu from the Yalu River in front of him, it seems that under these two fortresses hit a head and broke the bloodstream, besieged but not attacked, and went straight to Yizhou, the artillery here can still stare at his ass and beat, Mao Jue wants to have a three-dimensional defense is basically built.

With these two things, as long as Houjin does not send the main force, 10,000 soldiers and horses are no longer a problem.

The last cannon arrived and mounted on February 18, and on February 19, the city of Yizhou became more lively, and the largest reinforcements, Mao Wenlong's army, arrived.

This trip Mao Wenlong is basically a soy sauce, the army landed from Lushunkou, and stopped near Jinzhou, just took the opportunity to take back the Lushunkou that was taken away by Yuan Chonghuan, and strengthened it, as soon as he heard that Mao Jue, this kid actually took Yizhou down in the back, and ignored the military order of the old man Sun Chengzong, who succeeded as the governor of Liaodong, and left some soldiers and horses symbolically to continue to contain Jinzhou, and the old guy ran back in a boat.

There have been many generals who have fought the front station before, and when the governor of Dongjiang arrived, Mao Jue inevitably took Mao Youde, Mao Zhongming, Liu Xingqi and other brothers to greet them, so that the old guy's main force was stationed, and a celebration banquet was also placed.

However, the banquet was only halfway drunk, and Mao Jue was carried to the back study by Mao Wenlong.

"Dad, look, this military newspaper for merit is written like this, is it successful?"

Others want to come to Mao Jue to get a military merit, and they have to give gifts and talk small, even if it is the deputy chief soldier Shen Shikui, who is no exception, only this lord is justified in robbing military merits, and Mao Jue has to stammer.

Bowing respectfully, with a smile on his face, Mao Jue smiled and put the military merit book up like his grandson. However, without looking at Mao Jue's military merits, under the leadership of Mao Shuai, this old guy blew his beard angrily and slapped things directly on the table, shouting angrily.

"Brute! You kid! What did Lao Tzu tell you before leaving, stay in the rear, stay at ease, you kid is good, just take hundreds of recruits and eggs, dare to poke to Yizhou, and Zhenglan Banner is dead! Give you some guts, do you dare to stab the fuck in Shengjing? ”

"Then it depends on how much silver Sheng Jing has!"

"What?"

Mao Jue, who muttered in a low voice, hurriedly smiled again, and said sincerely like a child of more than 100 pounds.

"How dare the child? Only a famous general like his father can recover Shengjing, how can a child have such ability? ”

"Humph!"
