Chapter 365: Solid Backing
When he woke up in the morning, Lin Sen began to organize his people to repair the place where they were located, let's just call the camp.
First of all, of course, it is to build a strong wall, the predecessor can only gather his subordinates when necessary, and Lin Sen and they really need to be protected, among which the predecessor and his subordinates are also within the scope of need to be guarded.
They don't say they're isolated, it's not too bad anyway, they really only have to count on themselves, and they still need to shoulder a lot of responsibilities, so it's urgent to improve the protection of the camp.
On the contrary, it is a place for them to live, which can be placed in a slightly backward position, and it will be used for the time being.
The original wooden fence was left with some wood that was still strong, and the rest of the decayed ones were simply torn down.
After digging the pits, the pillars were re-erected as the foundation of the wall, and then the earth around them was rammed into a wall.
These elite soldiers from the north are not lacking in strength, and now they are gradually adapting to the hot and humid weather in the south.
The work of rammed earth walls is not difficult for them, I am afraid that they have not done much in the north before, if it were not for the fact that the area of this circle is really not small, it will not even take a few days to complete the work.
The presence of those wooden pillars that could also be considered markers would allow them to be divided into an infinite number of groups, each responsible for a section of the wall.
In fact, it didn't take long to use it, and even if the wall was built in a circle that was enough for two people to run side by side, it should be enough to deal with the current situation, and it would be gradually strengthened later.
Considering that there will be a rain here every now and then, it will definitely become a long-term task.
After this was done, Lin Sen and the others quickly began to gradually replace the stilted buildings that lived in them, and on the basis of reasonable planning, they found another more suitable place to build mud brick houses.
The mud brick thing is really quite simple, get some clay and some straw, tamp it and then use the mold to make a square brick shape, and when it is almost dry, build the house like a building block.
This composition is obviously similar to the concrete structure of later generations, but the strength is actually guaranteed, and the thick walls can keep the temperature of the house in winter, and can also keep all the cold out.
The soil itself can absorb a lot of moisture, ensuring that the humidity of the air in the house is not too high.
Summer can also block the heat, creating an effect similar to warm in winter and cool in summer, which will obviously be more comfortable than a stilted building.
What's more, the cost is really very low, soil and straw are readily available, the real cost is nothing more than a little manpower, and it is not unreasonable to be able to implement it so quickly.
In fact, the round earth building that Lin Sen made can also be said to be a strengthened version of the mud brick house, and the effect is similar, who made Zhongnan Mountain because of its own unique microclimate, the humidity is higher than that of Chang'an City.
Every time a mud brick house is built, a stilted building will be demolished over there, not only are these things not so comfortable to live in, anyway, Lin Sen and his group of northerners are a little unaccustomed to living in it, and these stilted buildings have become the biggest safety hazard in the barracks.
Not only are these things made of wood, but they are also relatively close to the wall, so if they are really attacked by fire, they can easily be set on fire.
What's more, they are really in disrepair, and they can easily collapse, and if they don't do well, they will bury the sergeants inside.
In fact, it rained before, and then there were really a few stilted buildings, and they fell apart completely.
If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers were braving the rain to strengthen the walls of the camp, the soldiers who originally lived in those stilted buildings would probably have been stoned to death in such a suffocated manner.
Since then, the soldiers have preferred to hide outside in the rain rather than go back to their own stilted buildings to worry about it.
Fortunately, after the rain had passed, before the next rain came, enough mud-brick houses had been built, and the large shops in them were so large that all the sergeants could be stuffed into it if they were squeezed.
Moreover, according to his own habits, Lin Sen transformed all the Datong shops into large soil kangs, and used the wood removed from the original stilted buildings as fuel, which can completely ensure the dryness of these soil kangs, and of course there is no need to be afraid of cold in winter.
After more mud-brick houses were built in the back, their living conditions would naturally become much more comfortable.
In addition, considering the most extreme bad situation, Lin Sen also organized them to dig tunnels under all the barracks.
The kind of wide tunnels supported by wood can even be used as a fast passage for the deployment of troops, and of course to the outside of the wall.
Anyway, the camp is full of elite soldiers, as long as you do a good job of secrecy from the outside world, you can dig generously, and the soil dug out is not wasted, and it is directly turned into mud bricks to build houses.
Before the autumn, the construction of the entire camp was finally successfully completed, and the appearance was absolutely new.
If you look down from the sky, you can see that the whole camp has become a big trap and a small circle.
Even if the circular outer wall is breached, it will have to face a taller and thicker inner camp wall, and soldiers with more concentrated defensive forces.
Even if this place is breached, if you want to enter the barracks, it will turn into a tragic street battle, and each barracks is equivalent to a small defensive fortress, which can be said to be quite terrifying.
After the rest of the barracks was completed, or rather rebuilt, the Guangzhou Thorn Shi rarely led a group of subordinates to Wenwu, and all of them came to visit.
By the way, he also brought a lot of supplies from the labor army, expressed his condolences to these elite soldiers, and encouraged them indispensably.
After a brief walk around, this Lord Thorn looked very high-spirited.
With Lin Sen's elite troops taking turns to garrison him, he has a lot of confidence to speak as an assassin, and now that there is a military camp similar to a battle fortress, isn't his confidence even more sufficient.
When looking at Lin Sen and his gang of elite soldiers who were becoming more and more powerful, that kind of smug and proud look couldn't help but show it at all.
And the perception of those locals is naturally very different, and they can't help but be a rin one by one.
Of course, they didn't watch their side completely lose their right to speak, and during this period, they even arranged for men and horses to fight with the soldiers sent by Lin Sen to take turns guarding the assassination history.
In the face of these elite soldiers led by Lin Sen's guards, they were naturally killed and defeated.
Seeing the new barracks again, the feelings in my heart are even more complicated.
And the disgraced eyes of these people are tantamount to the best praise for Lin Sen.
After completing these infrastructure construction works and having a relatively solid support, Lin Sen can finally start to really start to complete the real task he came over.
