At this point at the end of November, more than 700 miles away from Qingcheng, Zhang Han and his entourage walked through the bad weather of heavy winds and snow, the sky was blue without a trace of impurities, and at this time, the first fire pier finally appeared on the horizon.

This fire pier is obviously just built, the corresponding route is to reach the south city of Chotu, but also from Inner Mongolia to Outer Mongolia a diagonal line through the northwest, this fire pier in the lower reaches of the Orkhon River, along the river can go hundreds of miles, and then it is cut off, becoming a creek and Haizi gathering area.

For Qingcheng, the fire road pier at the far northwest end of the current construction is the one in front of him, and the construction of such a building in the lonely snow without roads is the most perfect symbol of courage and wisdom.

The fire pier is not big, and it looks like a 300-step around.

Like all fire piers, it was built on a high slope, with a bunker like a tube tower in the middle, surrounded by a thick and tall wall, in which there were also perforations, and on the perimeter there were some defenses such as horse rejection and horse traps.

If there is a river, you can divert water to make a moat river, and the surrounding water can not only defend against enemy horses, but also the source of drinking water for the dungeon, which is quite economical and cost-effective.

Unfortunately, there is no river around this fort, and there are only a large number of antlers and traps on the periphery, and it is quite difficult to reach the wall smoothly.

These things were covered in snow, but they could all work, and Jiang Yi led the two people to the dungeon and carefully bypassed them.

After approaching and talking, a cannon salute sounded in the three-story high bunker, and then all twelve soldiers walked out of the bunker together, walked to the side of the cavalry, and formed a standard parade formation, waiting for Zhang Han's review.

The team was so small that after opening the gate of the courtyard wall, they saw that there were carports and stables in the courtyard, and it was too cold, and there were some hay piled up in the stables, but the horses were led to the first floor of the bunker.

There were always some miscellaneous items, and sometimes horses were left in them in bad weather, and there might be some small flocks of sheep raised by the soldiers in the bunkers, or two or three dogs, or maybe a flock of chickens.

Of course, there will be unpleasant smells and feces to deal with, but compared to canned food, fresh meat and milk, as well as eggs, are very important for the health of soldiers, whether it is the mental health after soothing the stomach or the health of the body.

Several large unloaded carts were parked in the carport, well cared for, with shiny bodies and bright paint.

A brigade of soldiers will have more than 100 four-wheeled carts, they will drive the carts on the flat grass, the pressure of the heavy ruts is shared by the thick turf, it is difficult to press out deep rut marks on the grassland, of course, it also means that the speed will not be fast, only after the construction of Hutchison's rammed earth road, the cart can be like a tiger with wings, can move very quickly to work.

Each cart carries a large amount of supplies.

There are all kinds of construction tools, kiln utensils, a large amount of food, there will be medicinal materials and some tools for the military doctors, there will also be chariots in the ranks, as well as small cannons, gunpowder and shells, as well as items carried by the soldiers.

Some people like to bring pickled dried vegetables, some people like pickled radish strips, some people like stinky tofu, and the other is the canned food issued by the military department, many people like to save it at ordinary times and eat canned food on the road when they go out.

The grassland is too big, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the soldiers often have to build roads and bridges, fire piers, military platforms, military forts, and cities.
