Building a city is easy, but it's harder to do. This is a huge project, and the human, financial and material resources mobilized are incalculable.

However, the construction of Taiping City is to protect the village, and thousands of manpower are all voluntary, and there is no need to pay wages, and it also saves the trouble of handling food.

The collective meal was only carried out for a few days, because the Hu people moved the iron pot in the village, and those that were not taken away were also smashed to pieces, so in order to let the whole village eat, they could only use the few remaining pots to run the collective meal.

But in just a few days, all sorts of drawbacks emerged. When the people fill their bellies, they have the heart of not eating for nothing, not only filling ditches and flattening them, but also showing despicable habits such as private hiding and waste.

Although Li Yi and the three of them did not have such experience, their parents had personal experience, and his words and deeds made him remember it deeply. Seeing that this kind of death behavior appeared 1,800 years in advance, Li Yi decisively stopped the collective meal, and made up his mind that he would not waste his feelings in the future.

The earth can be taken locally, and a deep trench can be dug along the outer city to increase the defensive capacity of the city walls. Wood can also be taken locally, and the two mountains of dragon and phoenix are inexhaustible treasure troves. The stone is taken from the quarry, but it is a great deal of trouble to transport.

For this huge project, only iron ingots are the only raw materials that need to be purchased, and a small amount of principal will be used.

The construction of the city wall requires careful preparation and strict steps, so that the city can be strong. The simplest and easiest earthen city wall to build is also to tamp each layer of soil to ensure the quality of the city wall. If it is a state city or a capital city, a certain amount of adhesive should be mixed with the soil to increase the solidity of the city wall. The walls of important cities also need to be covered with a layer of bricks on the outside.

The Xianbei soldiers invaded soon, and the time was very rushed, so they could only strive to simplify and obey everything. The first time the city was built, there was no practical experience, and the people of Taiping Village could only cross the river by feeling the stones and gain experience from the builders.

The cross-sectional area above and below the walls, as well as the height of the castle, had a rough outline, and as long as the enemy army did not arrive in advance, it would be able to meet expectations.

As two ink lines were drawn with grass and wood ash to fix the length and width of the lower city wall, thousands of men and women took turns to work with shovels and pickaxes. Just ask for how fast and don't care about the province, this is the slogan put forward by Li Yi, and Zhang Ying's resolute support, she expected that the Xianbei people are not good at attacking the city, and whether the equipment can be manufactured is also unknown, so she erected a high wall, blocked the cavalry outside the city, and adopted corresponding strategies according to the development of the situation.

The crowd gathered firewood and the flames were high, and thousands of men, women, and children went into battle, and the city wall rose wildly. After Li Yi made an explanation, he rushed to the construction site from Wang Heng, the wall had reached the height of one person, and the deep ditch two zhang away was about half a zhang.

Relying on the basket wooden basket to take soil, seriously hindering the progress of the project, and the earth-moving machinery can not be equipped in a short period of time, and the contradiction must be solved in time, Li Yi stared at the reciprocating flow of people, frowned, and shouted over Xue Xin on the side: "There are too many people to get half the result, and some of the weak personnel will be dismissed and handed over to Song Zhi." ”

Xue Xin has the power of a tiger and a wolf, speaks loudly, and carries out the construction of the city smoothly. However, this is also inseparable from Yu Bing's allocation, he knows what it means to make an example of a hundred, how to deal with all kinds of characters, and implements a step-by-step responsibility system, and implements a fixed-section contracting system, so that all work is detailed and organized.

In a short period of time, Xue Xin couldn't change his temper and couldn't do it perfectly. But with Master's care, and at a critical juncture, no one dared to go against the wind and touch his bad head.

Song Zhi took away the surplus personnel and built houses in the "city" for outsiders to live in, while the land was still not frozen.

In order to rush for time to ensure the construction period, the mountain field is even more busy, and the large and small vehicles are carrying stones, and the river is endless, and the traffic is endless. Timber and stone materials were continuously transported, the foundation was dug and the stone walls were built, the craftsmen and masters were very busy, and the city gate hole climbed inch by inch, and gradually appeared the outline.

The windbox of the blacksmith's furnace was stretched "Quack, quack!" "The sound of the hammer hitting the wrought iron was deafening, and the twisted iron chains were formed under the hammer of the craftsman.

The woodyard is chopping, sawing, planing, and chiseling, and is very busy, in addition to building earth-moving equipment, it also has to take on the heavy responsibility of manufacturing city gates!

In the entire Taipingshan Village, there is no place that is not in full swing and full of pride, and no one is not sweating and radiant!

"The ingots are gone!" The blacksmith's furnace is in a hurry!

"The stone supply is out!" The craftsman who built the wall is in a hurry!

"Water Cold Lantern !!" An exclamation sounded, triggering a chain reaction, and countless people exclaimed in unison!

What is a water chill lamp? Except for the people of Taiping Village, I am afraid that few people on the earth know about it. But when it comes to Kong Ming lanterns, they are well-known in modern times, and everyone knows about them.

Kong Ming's lantern was originally from Kong Ming's hand! Kong Ming is Zhuge Liang's cousin, because he has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, and the strategy of Bogu and the present, he was sent a Ya Wolong by the Jingzhou scholars.

Zhuge Liang, a native of Langyayang, Xuzhou, was invited out of Longzhong by Liu Bei Sangu Maolu, and since then he has been assisting Liu Bei wholeheartedly and making great contributions to the establishment of the Shu Han regime. The White Emperor City Tuogu, the later lord Liu Chan ascended the throne, Zhuge Liang became the strongman of the Shu Han Dynasty, his power poured into Shu, seven out of Qi Mountain, attacked as the defense, guarded the Shu Han for more than ten years, and cultivated Jiang Wei, is the first person worthy of the name of the Shu Han regime.

Legend has it that Zhuge Liang was besieged in Pingyang and could not send troops out of the city for help, so he made a lantern out of paper, tied a message for help, and was optimistic about the direction of the wind, and the lantern was lit into the air. When the rescue troops got the information, they rushed to relieve the siege of Pingyang, so later generations called this kind of lantern Kong Ming lantern.

But at this time, Zhuge Kongming was still in his mother's womb and needed to wait a few months before he was born. This lamp came out in advance, although there is a suspicion of plagiarism, but it can not be called Kong Ming lantern, Li Yi had to use it on the ice table, calling it a water cold lamp.

Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, after the last war, the early warning of the kite made a mistake, but fortunately, there are many preset points, and one or two points are missed, which does not affect the overall situation. However, when weaknesses were exposed, they needed to be improved in time, so the kite warning was cancelled.

The water cold lamp is very simple to make, as long as you understand the principle of its lift-off, rely on the gravity difference between the hot air inside and the cold air outside, and grasp the weight of the lantern not to be overweight. Then pay attention to the stability of the burning candle and the safety factor of the lampshade, then this warning lantern has a high degree of reliability.

The lantern was trial-made and tested, proving that its reliability is higher than that of kites, and it was officially established as an early warning tool.

Enemy attack! Enemy Attack!! The crowd shouted and frantically rushed towards the city gates. More than 1,000 people flocked in, and the unfinished city gate was afraid that it would be difficult to escape, and it was not destroyed by the enemy, but it was crushed by the people!

If the cavalry is equipped with two or even three horsemen per person, the speed of action will be very fast, dozens of miles away, and it will be possible to reach Taiping Village in an hour.

The enemy who came this time is the little handsome Shangshi, or the big handsome Suli? If the latter, then Taiping Village will face a catastrophe!

Xianbei people have been defeated twice, especially the second time, they have no power to fight back, so they have to lower their arrogant heads, confide in Zhang Ying, and tell the information she wants to know, like pouring beans on a bamboo tube, word for word.

Sun Tzu's Art of War: Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. There are more than 30,000 people in the Zhisuli clan, while the Xianbei people only have a small number of patrol troops in peacetime, and in wartime, all the people are soldiers, and men over 15 years old and under 60 years old will go to the battlefield as long as they can climb on horseback.
