on the city walls.

The sky was faint, Yang Wenhua pulled the sleeping bag open, reached out to pat off the thin ice on the mask, and looked into the distance, feeling a little disappointed.

Cui Yuan hurriedly walked over with a few important people, "Hey, I heard that Brother Xian has been standing here for two hours, and there are no cities around Baishan, why should Brother Xian be so cautious." ”

"It's just boring."

Yang Wenhua put away the sleeping bag, and just saw that Gao Huizhen was also disappointed, and suddenly said with some teasing: "Aren't you disappointed?" I'm a little disappointed, why don't we stay here for another day?"

After Yang Wenhua finished speaking, he left, leaving Gao Huizhen with a pale face standing in the cold wind.

"Brother Xian, why does Brother Xian want to stay here for one more day?"

Cui Yuan caught up with Yang Wenhua's pace in a few steps, and asked a little anxiously, "What did Brother Xian say just now?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, originally my plan was to leave tomorrow, this place is not too far from the Marudu Mountain City, and it is even closer to the White Mountain Department of the Tatar people.

I thought that these two places would send people here, knowing that they could organize most of the tens of thousands of horses, but it was a pity that they waited all night. ”

Yang Wenhua sighed a little, the snow on the straight road in the city was cleared in vain, wasting effort.

"Tens of thousands of horses?"

After listening to what Yang Wenhua said, Cui Yuan immediately softened, "We are only two or three hundred people, why should the virtuous brother stay here for one more day, let's leave here quickly." ”

"Brother doesn't need to panic, the younger brother has already planned, although we don't have many people, no matter how many people come, the younger brother also has a way to make him come and go.

And tomorrow's departure, it is in the little brother's plan, the so-called work is good at its work, must first sharpen its tools, there are many materials in the city, we have to make a good means of transportation first.

It is necessary to transport as many of these materials as possible, after all, the future war is a very expensive thing. ”

Back at the county office, Yang Wenhua arranged for good people to continue to inspect the city, and still martial law did not allow the people in the city to go out.

Hermes-Epitek, those who continue to train still continue to train, and the women and children still only need to eat and rest and play.

And the more than 100 captives who cleared the straight yesterday have another arrangement today.

Ice boats, also known as ice rows or ice beds, are perfect for gliding on snow and ice, and can be pulled by people or rowed like rowing boats.

The iceship is as simple as making a wooden frame and padding a wooden plank, but if it is complicated, then just make it into a boat.

In fact, even if it is made into a ship, it does not take much effort, because the iceship does not need to be leakage-proof, so the process requirements are not high, even if Yang Wenhua needs to transport heavy objects, that is, to make the keel and skeleton stronger.

For a small boat with a width of one meter and five meters and a length of three meters and five meters, it is first bound with long nails, then tied with ropes, and laid with wooden planks, no matter how people and materials are transported, it is already strong enough.

In the case that Yang Wenhua did not hesitate to order the removal of the door frame, door panel, roof beam, and wooden wall, it took less than a day to get out more than a hundred Xiaoice boats.

Yang Wenhua doesn't require it to look good anyway, as long as there is an arc at both ends to reduce resistance, and there is space in the middle to load things.

And the length can also be arbitrary, but the width must be accurate, so that the rear boat can follow the ice road left by the front boat.

In the afternoon, Yang Wenhua led people to try out the ice boats that had been made.

First let ten people step on skis, tie a long rope to the iceboat, drag the empty boat to slide and try, the effect is not bad, ten people drag one or two hundred pounds of empty iceboat, and they can still run on the snow.

Then ten people were asked to sit in the boat, and on both sides of the boat they tried to use wooden sticks as poles to assist in supporting the boat, and this time it was difficult for ten people to drag it.

In the end, twenty people were added to tow the boat, and ten people assisted in supporting the boat, and the speed was raised again.

Although some people fell down from time to time during the trial, because of poor cooperation, but after Yang Wenhua added the hook buckle to the rope, the problem was solved, and he quickly took off the hook buckle after slipping, so as not to be dragged away.

After the first boat travels, the initial ice track is formed, and the second boat is much easier, ten people tug, ten people support the boat, and you can run and fly.

After driving out for several kilometers, Yang Wenhua took everyone back to the city with satisfaction.

Yang Wenhua was very satisfied with the results of the trial, as long as the ice road was formed, the two of them could support the ice boat loaded with more than 1,000 catties of grain on flat ground.

As for the uphill time, there is no way, let's go down and pull it together, fortunately, the altitude of Baishan County is much higher than that of Liaodong, and there are many uphill and downhill along the way, so I don't think I will miss too much of the trip.

The next step is to let everyone who needs to leave, after making their own skateboards, keep practicing skiing, anyway, they can run on flat ground with sticks, and they don't need to be very skillful.

Although there is not much time to practice, you can practice for two hours at night before going to bed, and the food is open and supplied, and you are not afraid of running out of strength.

The success of the trial of the ice boat also increased the confidence of Yang Wenhua's subordinates.

Cui Yuan was even more excited.

"Brother Xian is really a great talent, it is not an exaggeration to call the wisdom of ghosts and gods, with this ice boat, the winter in Liaodong will be unimpeded for us."

"Brother has won the award, it's just some whimsical ideas, this is a small way, my brother will lead the entire Liaodong in the future, and the army of millions of people is not counted, that is the great road of learning."

Cui Yuan's face flashed a smug look, but he said modestly: "The virtuous brother is too modest, he is not a middle-aged man, if he is fortunate enough to dominate Liaodong in the future, it is also the income of the virtuous brother today's hard work, and the brother will not forget the grace of the virtuous brother." ”

After praising each other and amusing each other's moods, Yang Wenhua began to continue to arrange business.

Let the Han auxiliary soldiers stop the training of walking in unison, take over the task of building iceships, and arrange for the Goguryeo captives to pack supplies and load them on the iceboats.

First spread all the cloth and fur on the bottom of the ship, then load as much food as possible, and finally other weapons, meat, iron tools, etc., these small but important materials are packed and put on top of the grain.

The next day

Yang Wenhua first let the ten big-headed ghost armies scatter around as spies.

Then let Cui Yuan and Sun Simiao take thirty big-headed ghost troops to open the road in front to pressurize the formation, accompanied by a hundred slightly weaker Han auxiliary soldiers, and all the Han women and children who took the boat, together with a small amount of food and materials as the front army.

Then let the thirty big-headed ghost army, pressing more than 100 Goguryeo prisoners, transporting most of the food and supplies as the Chinese army left first.

Yang Wenhua took the remaining big-headed ghost army, together with the last hundred Han Chinese auxiliaries as the rear team.

Before leaving, Yang Wenhua handed a torch to Zhou Xiwang.

"Take the Hanmin and burn the rest of the grain first, and then set fire to the firewood houses of the people in the city."
