The second brother did well, and Zhao Da gave him a dog thigh as a reward.

Unlike other meats, dog meat does not require complicated dishes, as long as it is cooked and dipped in salt, it is very delicate and delicious, nutritious, and it is definitely a great pleasure to eat black dog legs in the army.

No one here is looking for trouble with you, believe it or not, if the dog fans come to the barracks and shout, these eight masters can stew them and eat them! Not even a bone left!

Zhao Kuangyi gnawed most of the dog's legs, and then told his brother very formally.

"Although you are now in the Xiang Army, you are downcast and unlucky...... But it doesn't matter, you still have a capable brother like me, don't worry, our family won't decay! ”

After hearing this, Zhao Da was so angry that he snatched the remaining dog legs with his hands, ate them all in a few bites, and then took the leg bones and knocked Zhao Er's head hard!

"Dare to say that your brother is down, tell you, I am also a festival envoy, a festival envoy! Do you know! ”

"I know, it's the festival envoy of the Xiang army!" Zhao Er unceremoniously demolished his brother.

Zhao Dawa screamed, "Do you kid think I'm going to be unlucky?" Tell you! Impossible, this time to attack Yan Yun, your brother is the main force! ”

"The main force of grain transport?" Zhao Er once again demolished his brother's platform.

Zhao Da said that he couldn't talk about it, you kid take a look, and see how the Xiang army fought!

After driving away the Khitan envoys, Ye Hua immediately ordered 30,000 horses and horses, with Han Tong as the vanguard, to capture Yizhou.

A surprising thing happened, in front of Hantong, there was actually a team of centaurs, which set off earlier than them!

"Hahaha, pioneer pioneer, first in battle, now the first to go is our Tianxiong Army, what kind of pioneer are you!" Zhao Da laughed wildly, triumphant.

Han Tong looked stupid, isn't the Tianxiong Army abolished, let them act as strikers, what can they do?

"Master Hou, I don't accept it!"

He went to Ye Hua to complain about his grievances.

Ye Hua shrugged his shoulders, "It's normal, sappers go first, open roads in the mountains, and build bridges in the water, this is their mission." ”

Han Tong was stunned for a moment, "Sapper, what is Sapper?" When did my Great Zhou expand the forbidden army again? "He's a new name!

Ye Hua explained with a smile that the sappers are not a new number, but a new type of troops, just like cavalry and infantry, they are engineers!

The army marched forward, tens of thousands of men and horses, countless grain and grass baggage, and it was necessary to build bridges, roads, camps, and trenches along the way...... The amount of work is huge.

As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the army has a "Zhanggu", "Risk" and other official positions, the development to the present, every time there is a big war, will recruit people, in addition, the Great Zhou Dynasty has a Xiang army, Khitan also has a village soldier, the main task is responsible for the construction of a class of tasks.

However, in Ye Hua's view, the Xiang Army is completely a concentration camp for the old, weak, sick and disabled. There is a lack of training and no suitable tools, the construction is slow, the quality is worrying, and it is very lagging behind.

Ye Hua had long had the idea of forming a professional sapper.

Moreover, he also has an iron-smelting workshop in his hands, and has made farm tools, and switched to the production of shovels and hammers, which is not difficult at all.

This time, the Tianxiong Army was abolished, and Zhao Da was sent over.

Ye Hua has a lot of plans, and Zhao Da has a very heavy mission...... After listening to Ye Hua's explanation, Han Tong suddenly realized, no wonder the Tianxiong army is carrying shovels!

If you dare to love that they specialize in this, then I want to see how much stronger they can be than ordinary van army!

Han Tong led the men and horses, following Zhao Kuangyin forward.

Along the way, I really saw the difference.

Wherever the sappers passed, a road was opened up enough for the two carriages to run in parallel.

There were potholes on the road, all of which were filled in, and even in some areas where artemisia grass was dense, they would sprinkle some sulfur on the side of the road to keep the insects and snakes away, so that the soldiers would not be bitten by poisonous snakes.

"Oh, okay!"

Han Tong kept praising and giving his thumb high, and there were two strokes!

Due to the opening of the road by the sappers, the speed of the advance was greatly increased.

The sappers would even help to choose the camp beforehand, dig the trenches, provide drinking water, and set up tents, which is what they practiced, and for several months they were very skillful.

With their escort, the soldiers only need to move forward with peace of mind, it is much easier, their physical strength is maintained very well, and their morale is also up.

"This sapper is good!"

Han Tong introduced several generals, and the big guys all showed curious looks.

"Let's catch up with Lao Zhao and see how he got it, if we can, let's also pick some people to be special sappers!"

After discussion, more than a dozen generals swarmed to catch up with the progress of the sappers.

What appeared in front of them was the famous Yishui River.

Although Yishui is famous, it is not very wide, only less than ten zhang, but the banks of the river are all tidal flats, and there are dense reeds, the environment is complicated, and it is not easy to cross the river.

"Old Han, how much time did you say the river would take?" Someone asked about Hancom.

Han Tong thought for a while and said, "It depends on how many ships can be collected, according to my calculations, 30,000 horses, it will take at least two days to cross the river." ”

Yang Ye and Gao Huaide also nodded in agreement, and their judgments were similar.

Let's see if Zhao Da has any tricks!

By the way, where did Zhao Da go?

They searched around, and suddenly found that Zhao Da came back with a group of people carrying reeds, and they were by the river, using reeds to quickly turn into mats, one after another, and in a short time, they were piled up into a hill.

On the other side, a number of boats were collected and connected with iron cables to form a simple pontoon bridge.

It is not difficult to use boats as pontoons, but because the ships are of different sizes, people and horses can pass, and the carriages loaded with baggage are troublesome, and they must be carried by soldiers on their shoulders, which is the most time-consuming.

They were pondering, Zhao Kuangyin's side also moved, and there was another group of soldiers, who were responsible for cutting wood and making bridge piers and shelves.

I saw that someone first carried a sharpened rough log, drove it into the river, exposed a section, and then tied a square frame to the wood, and the prototype of a bridge was finished.

Hantong's eyes lit up, this method is good!

If you get some planks and put it on it, won't you be able to pass it?

He thought so, but Zhao Dabian didn't do what Han Tong expected.

In fact, where to find so many planks, the sappers had to learn to adapt to local conditions.

Isn't there a reed mat, just spread it up!

"Zhao Kuangyin!"

Han Tong was furious, "You are a tofu scum project, you want to kill us?" ”

Zhao Dabai glanced at him, "What do you know, look at it!" ”

Then there was another group of soldiers, carrying barrels, and rushed to the bridge, and scattered the contents of the buckets on the reed mats, and when they had retreated, another man spread a layer of reed mats.

And so it goes, layer upon layer, quickly.

Zhao Kuangyin secretly asked the craftsman, "Can it be done?" ”

The head of the craftsman is a small man who is not good-looking, he is Chen Ming!

The young man who went to Cangzhou to work, he fled to Dazhou with his whole family, and went to repair the city wall. At this time, the Tianxiong Army recruited skilled craftsmen to join the army.

Chen Ming joined the sappers without hesitation and became the first batch of technical talents among the sappers, and Zhao Kuangyin trusted him very much.

"Please rest assured, the general, we have laid seven layers of reed mats, and when the cement is dry, we will be able to pass. People and horses can drive safely, as if walking on the ground! ”

"Good!" Zhao Kuangyin nodded with satisfaction, he turned around and shouted at the excitement: "You can cross the river tomorrow morning, hurry up and recuperate!" ”

The big guy was suspicious, and someone wanted to go to the bridge to have a look, but Zhao Da punched and kicked him back.

Military secrets, what are you making a fuss about!

A whole night passed, and Zhao Da built five bridges in one go.

The next morning, the soldiers had breakfast and were ready to go.

Han Tong led the men and horses, and when he stepped on the bridge, he was shocked.

The bridge is very stable, similar to a stone bridge. Sturdy and sturdy, not to mention people and horses passing, even the car has no problem. Han Tong jumped down from the war horse, squatted on the bridge deck, and flicked it with his hand, only to figure out that the sappers had sprinkled cement between the reed mats, as if they were sandwich biscuits, which was impressive.

"Yours!"

Originally, it would have taken two days to cross the river, but with the pontoon bridge, it took them less than half a day for the army to cross the Yishui. The speed of the march is as fast as God's help, and everyone knows that this "god" is none other than the newly formed sapper!

The sappers are mighty, and Zhao Da is mighty!

While everyone was in tears, the sapper brothers were not idle, and they were looking for the location of the large camp.

Walk in front of everyone, suffer the most, suffer the most, always be willing to be a green leaf, provide protection to other brothers, let them look down on what they want, and make contributions!

That's right, this is the mission of our sappers!

Chen Ming led 200 men to trek out of a valley, they measured the width of the valley, surveyed the terrain, and it was just right for the garrison.

Everyone came out of the valley with great joy, and suddenly, a troop of men appeared in front of them, and they were rushing quickly.

"It's a Khitan!"

"Enemy attack!"

Chen Ming's face changed, he had only joined the army for a few days, it was no problem for him to work, but it would be too reluctant to fight. Can these people under his command do it?

Chen Ming's heart kept falling, but the brothers around him laughed, "Chen Gong, have you forgotten what we used to do?" O Tianxiong Army! The First Army of Hebei! ”

An old soldier said proudly: "Let the Khitan dog see, our sappers can not only build bridges, but also fight!" ”
