In this era, the urgency of war is not so easy to fight, and a lot of preparatory work is required in advance.

Generally speaking, before the start of the war, the sergeant will increase the amount of training, save physical fitness, and adapt to the tense atmosphere, which is what the sergeant has to do, and what the officer has to do is to make a battle plan, and discuss how to communicate with each other, who will fight where, who will fight forward, where to stop, and the most important thing is logistics.

If the three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, what is said is the importance of logistics work, and it can even be said that whether the grain and grass are sufficient or not is related to whether the war can be won, if the logistics is short of food, morale will be low, and people's hearts will fluctuate and be defeated before the battle.

This refers to general warfare, which is quite applicable to this era, but for these, Wanghai City has skipped the most important logistical work and is not prepared to carry the burden.

Is this everyone's brain broken? Naturally not, but because they have Lin Bei.

In this war, Lin Bei was going to rush from the hill in Jiuzhen County where he took the Wang clan out, which was about two hundred and twenty miles away from Wanghai City, and at the speed of a sergeant, it was only a three-day journey, so Lin Bei asked An Zhongzhi to prepare three days of dry food for the sergeant.

So what's next? Lin Bei said his thoughts, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the forest to eat the forest.

There are a large number of wild beasts behind the Changshan Mountain Range, the beast resources are extremely rich, but the north of the forest can be called the king of the forest, you can catch those beasts casually, among which the large beasts such as the bison herd, stay in the forest and don't eat what?

And this can only be done by Lin Bei, in that forest, Lin Bei is confident that more than 10,000 people can eat well every day, even if each person eats five catties of meat per day, it is only fifty or sixty thousand catties. A bison is two or three thousand catties, and thirty or forty heads are enough.

An Zhongzhi and Bian Ji thought that Lin Bei's method was good, and eating meat at every meal during the march would definitely greatly boost morale, not to mention that this was still meat caught by Lord Longshen himself, so the soldiers would naturally use their lives. Dare not fight to the death?

In this way, there was no need to carry more baggage, so the time for preparing for war was shortened considerably, and finally after three days of preparation, the departure began, first with the regiment of the people, and then with the shipbuilding team and the sergeants.

On the second day, as soon as Lin Bei walked out of the house, he saw An Zhongzhi already waiting outside the door, and there was a pheasant at Lin Bei's door. An Zhong looked directly at the pheasant, and then at Lin Bei: "My lord, a sergeant came to report this morning, saying that a beast in a family in the city bit a pheasant last night, counting this time, this is the third time, the first time is a wild boar raised by a family, and the second time is also a pheasant." According to the family, the beast appeared to be in the form of a serpent. My lord, could it be that Chijiao did it? ”

Lin Bei looked at the pheasant on the ground, and couldn't cry or laugh: "It is estimated that Chijiao did it, and Chijiao has also done this before." ”

An Zhong sighed straightly: "Since this is the case, then it will be fine, but the little adult has not yet given birth to spiritual wisdom." If you are frightened by the common people in the city, I am afraid that there will be chaos, do you send some sergeants to work around the house at night, and if you see the red Jiao, call the adults? ”

"It doesn't have to be." Lin Bei shook his head and said, "Chijiao doesn't bite now. ”

Now Chijiao is not very excited even if he sees people. It should be because there are many people, the snake is actually not low in wisdom, some countries in Africa also raise cobras to take care of children, as long as they are familiar, snakes are still very tame, of course, the premise is that people are not afraid of them.

"By the way, what are you doing this morning? Isn't it time to prepare for war? Lin Bei asked, the war will start the day after tomorrow, and An Zhongzhi should have a lot of things to do.

An Zhongzhi patted his head, and his face showed joy: "My lord, the steam carriage was made out by the craftsmen, so Zhongzhi came to tell Lord Sù." ”

"Got it out?" Lin Bei's eyes straightened, it was so fast.

"However, these days, the craftsmen have done their best, and they really live up to the expectations of adults."

"Let's go, I'll get out of the city quickly." Lin Bei hurriedly walked out of the City Lord's Mansion: "What did you see about the carriage?" ”

"Tadanao got the news and rushed to inform your lordship, so Tadanao has never seen what the steam carriage looks like."

Lin Bei didn't ask any more, and rushed to the gate of the city, where many people were already surrounded here, and when he saw Lin Bei coming, he got out of the way.

When Lin Bei arrived outside the city gate, he saw a strangely shaped carriage parked on the stone road, and the moment he saw this carriage, Lin Bei was stunned: "Is this a carriage or an airplane?" Or maybe it's a tractor? ”

The shape of this carriage is indeed quite strange, there is a rectangular carriage about four meters long, there are four wheels under it, on both sides of the carriage, there are two open wings, Lin Bei looked at the structure of the wings, but it was made of wood chips with some feathers, as if there were duck feathers and chicken feathers.

At the front of the carriage, the roof of the carriage is open, and there is a large cylindrical iron bucket, on the top of which a thick pipe sticks out and hangs down, and is connected to the bottom of the carriage, which looks a bit like the front of a tractor.

When Lin Beileng was in the gods, a craftsman in his forties ran over and bowed vigorously to Lin Bei, with a smile on his face: "My lord, I waited to live up to my expectations, and finally made this steam carriage, I tried it last night, and this carriage can indeed work." ”

Lin Beixin said calmly, this kind of shape is a little strange for him, but he is not afraid of being weird, as long as it is practical, he immediately said: "Okay, let the carriage drive for a while, let me see how the carriage walks." ”

"No!!"

The two craftsmen began to climb into the carriage, got into the carriage, and at the same time opened the back cover of the carriage, so that Lin Bei could see that there was a kang stove under the original big iron bucket, the kang stove was very large, as large as the width of the carriage, but the stove mouth was very small, so that the stove fire was not easy to penetrate, so that the water in the big iron bucket could be quickly heated, there was already a lot of charcoal in it, and the two of them dialed the charcoal, and the fire was bearish.

This old craftsman explained Lin Bei's confusion on the side: "My lord, that iron bucket was specially made by me and asked Blacksmith Li, the iron lid on it can be lifted and buckled, even if the hot air in the barrel is churning, the iron lid will not be lifted, the first few times as long as the fire is too strong, the pot lid will not be covered, so this bucket is specially made."

Lin Bei nodded to show that he understood, he understood, it was because there was too much water vapor in the pot. Just like cooking porridge in a rice cooker, if there is too much water, the lid of the pot will be lifted to release the pressure, but the steam carriage cannot let this pressure out lightly.

The water in the bucket was obviously very hot when it was first boiled, so it boiled quickly. A craftsman in the car listened carefully, then stood up, stretched out his hand and twisted the lid of the bucket, Lin Bei heard a slight swish, but did not run out of anger.

The old craftsman on the side showed smugness on his face: "My lord, I found that if we wait for the steam to leak out once, it will be easy for the iron bucket to blow up, so I used an iron stopper, as long as it twists left and right." The outlet can be made as large or small, so that even the speed of the carriage can be controlled, if the carriage needs to be faster, the outlet will be maximized, and if it needs to stop, the outlet will be screwed and the fire will be stopped. The carriage stopped. ”

"Why hasn't the carriage moved yet?" Lin Bei looked left and right, but saw no sign of the carriage moving. I asked curiously, could this be a malfunction?

The old craftsman snapped his fingers at the other person in the car, and the snap of his fingers was extremely crisp.

The other person in the carriage nodded and walked to the middle of the carriage, and Lin Bei saw that there were two trigger-like things on both sides of the carriage, which should be connected wings. Sure enough, as the man turned the trigger, his wings shook up and down, as if he were flying, and the craftsman who was watching the barrel in front of him unscrewed the plug again. As the squeezing grew louder, the carriage moved.

"Wow, it really moved."

"It's really running, and there's no horse pulling the cart."

"It's so amazing that I can't imagine that I can walk without a horse."

"What the hell is this steam? It was possible to make such a huge carriage run. ”

There was a burst of surprise from the crowd of onlookers, for them, the carriage that could be automatic without horses was obviously quite strange, and even An Zhongzhi was staring, and he was about to stand out.

The old craftsman's face was smug and at the same time relieved, and it was obvious that he felt quite proud to have done such a strange thing.

Lin Bei was not surprised that the carriage could move, he had seen too much, on the contrary, he frowned a little, this carriage was too slow, it didn't look like it was running at all, but it looked like it was crawling on the ground, in addition, why did that person keep shaking the trigger, so Lin Bei asked: "Why does that person keep shaking?" ”

The old craftsman said: "My lord, this thing is still designed by Feng Niangzi, this thing is modeled on the wings of a bird, and it is full of feathers, which is not only very light, but also can speed up the carriage." Then the craftsman paused and said with some embarrassment: "In addition, the trigger has a mechanism for connecting the wheels, and it needs to be shaken and then increased to increase the steam, so that the wheels of the carriage can be turned, and if it is not shaken, the carriage will stop." ”

Lin Bei was a little speechless, this Nima didn't use horses, but used manpower instead.

"How fast can you go?"

"It's about the same as walking a human being."

Lin Bei was speechless again, about the same speed as ordinary people walking? This has to be shaken from Wanghai to Luoyang to the 21st century, and it is embarrassing to study this thing? Lin Bei really wanted to scold, but Lin Bei endured it, after all, these people worked hard to study, and they couldn't ignore the fruits of other people's labor.

"Let them stop." North Lim Road.

The old craftsman asked the two men in the carriage to stop, one did not shake, and the other first resealed the outlet with an iron stopper, and then covered the fire in the stove a little, and then jumped out of the carriage.

An Zhongzhi also boasted: "My lord, this thing is indeed a strange thing." ”

Lin Bei took a breath, pretended not to hear An Zhongzhi's words, and said to the old craftsman: "It's good that you can make this thing." Lin Bei praised first.

The craftsmen around them immediately showed joy, because the dragon god praised them, but they did not understand the artistry of the superior speaker.

"However, this thing is still a little short of what I asked, as far as I know, this steam carriage can travel forty or fifty miles in half an hour, and can be opened by only one person, so I think you can improve it a little more."

"Half an hour, forty or fifty miles?" The craftsmen were surprised, isn't this the same as flying? Isn't that a journey of thousands of miles a day?

"Of course, and forty or fifty miles in half an hour is not the highest speed, if it is fast, it can reach more than two hundred miles in half an hour." Two hundred miles an hour is not fast, and most modern cars can reach this speed.

The craftsmen's faces were numb, because they couldn't imagine this kind of speed at all, they thought they were proud enough to build a carriage, but compared to what Lin Bei said, it was simply scum, think about the speed of this carriage just now, and then think about the speed that Lin Bei said, the craftsmen were a little embarrassed, Lord Dragon God gave them the best conditions, what kind of things have been created?

Lin Bei saw that the craftsmen were a little frustrated, but he said in his heart that he couldn't blow their confidence too much, Lin Bei still had to rely on them to invent and create a zào: "But the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, you have already made a good start, the steam carriage has been able to break away from the carriage, this is a good start, the next thing you have to do is to improve it, so that the speed of the carriage can become faster, and meet the requirements I said as soon as possible, can you have confidence?" ”

Lin Bei looked over one by one, his eyes were full of encouragement, and the craftsmen puffed up their chests, feeling that they couldn't disappoint Lord Longshen, that's right, the steam carriage has been built, this is the biggest progress, and the next step is only to improve, the craftsmen feel very optimistic. (To be continued......)
