Chapter 184: Race Against Time

Due to the urgency of the war in Luoyang, a large amount of road repair funds were directly occupied by Yang Tong, coupled with the serious corruption of Luoyang road construction, Daxingcheng undertook the brick road from Tongguan Road Hongnong to Shaanxi County, and then to Mianchi, accounting for about 70% of the whole process.

Now these roads have been built, and Luoyang has just built Xin'an County, which is only 100 miles west of Luoyang City.

The roads before Xin'an and Mianchi are still ordinary dirt official roads, and four-wheeled carriages loaded with goods cannot be walked at all.

Of course, this section of the dirt road was difficult for the Daxing people, who were bent on seeking wealth, and everyone who had been prepared for a long time immediately changed to two-wheeled carriages to transport goods.

After arriving at Xin'an, it was reloaded into a four-wheeled carriage.

Xin'an County is the closest county seat to Luoyang City.

Today's Xin'an County is just an ordinary small county, and the famous "Xin'an Officials" in history has not been written.

At this moment, Xin'an County is full of goods, the traffic is busy, and the whole county is full of people.

However, this time it is not the "chariot chariot Xiao Xiao, pedestrian bows and arrows at the waist" of "Soldier Chariot Travel", but to be vigorous and high-spirited, cross Xin'an County, and go directly to Luoyang City.

"Boom!"

The gates fell.

During the day, the city gate fell, which is not a common thing in Xin'an County, and the people who want to enter Xin'an County are full of complaints.

However, the Xin'an county order did not complain at all, because Luoyang and Daxingcheng both sent secret letters, asking the county order to cooperate.

Xin'an County's wealthy merchant families gathered, and everyone was excited, waiting for the nightfall.

As night fell, the entire Guanzhong area was shrouded in darkness.

At this moment, Xin'an County is full of people. Two thousand five hundred horse-drawn carriages filled all the streets of Xin'an County. Each four-wheeled carriage was strapped to four horses, and all the carriages were oriented in one direction, which was the East City Gate.

Looking from the east city gate, the entire county is densely packed with four-wheeled carriages, all of which are undergoing intense inspections, making preparations before leaving, and waiting for the order to leave.

Tian Xiu, the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was agitated in his heart, the order of the new Ministry of Civil Affairs Li Renzheng had come down, and he had completed the work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but what he didn't expect was that he was sent by His Royal Highness the Acting King to preside over this huge transaction.

Tian Xiu looked at so many carriages. I was thrilled.

Time passed slowly. Soon it was midnight.

"Ready!"

A loud shout came.

The merchants of the family were full of joy and immediately cheered up.

All the grooms were reined and ready to go.

"Squeak!"

The heavy gates slowly opened.

Taking advantage of the light of the lights, everyone eagerly looked out of the dark city gate

"Let's go!"

Tian Xiu shouted.

"Drive!"

The groom drank.

"Herod!"

The roar of the horses shook the sky. The sound spread throughout Xin'an County.

"Drive!"

Four horses, drawn by a four-wheeled carriage, were the first to cross the city gate. Hurry forward along the brick road.

Then the second one.

The third.

…………

When the last carriage drove out of Xin'an County. It's already half an hour later.

Xin'an County is quiet, but none of the people in Xin'an County have fallen asleep, and they are all constantly speculating. Imagining the usefulness of these carriages, a deep curiosity enveloped the sky over Xin'an County.

"Drive!"

A thousand cavalry opened the way in front, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky.

From time to time, there are outposts to report news to confirm the safety of the front.

Whenever he hears the information about the safety ahead, Pang Yu will breathe a sigh of relief, although he has already probed many times, he still can't be too careless, this time the responsibility is heavy.

In the rear of the cavalry, 2,500 wagons were hurrying forward, each with an oil lamp hanging from it, to guide the way.

If you look at it from above, on the entire brick road, a long fire dragon is advancing at a rapid speed, at least ten miles in front and behind, endlessly.

Each coachman put his skills to the extreme, and the newly built brick road, the freshly inspected vehicles, and the four strong horses sent the whole carriage to extreme speed.

At this rate, it will soon reach Luoyang City.

But even the most perfectly planned things always happen.

"Click!" A crisp cracking sound was heard.

A carriage was too heavily loaded to withstand such a high-intensity run, and the wheels broke.

The coachman was shocked, knowing that something was wrong with his carriage, and hurriedly pulled the brakes and picked up the whistle.

"Tick!" The coachman blew a shrill whistle.

Immediately all the whistles of all the drivers sounded, which was a signal of an accident, and the drivers who heard the whistle immediately pulled the brakes and slowed down.

The driver who broke the wheel immediately got out of the carriage and ignored his carriage, but lit a huge torch, the blazing flame, stood behind the carriage, held the torch high, and revealed the location of the carriage in question to the coachman behind him.

The carriage behind slowly drove through this section, immediately picking up speed and speeding forward again.

When all the carriages had passed, the driver of the carriage who had had an accident immediately turned over and mounted his horse and continued on his way, without looking at the cart full of goods.

According to the instructions before coming, these carriages that have accidents will be handled by special people, and the coachman will not be responsible for anything, and the task of all the horses is to reach Luoyang City.

"Boom." The sound of horses' hooves shook the sky.

When there were still five miles away from Luoyang City, all the convoys automatically slowed down and began to move slowly.

Two thousand five hundred carriages, each of which had four horses attached, was ten thousand horses, plus Pang Yu's one thousand cavalry.

The gallop of 11,000 horses is amazing.

If these vehicles do not slow down, it is estimated that the huge momentum will shock the entire Luoyang City and cause unnecessary panic.

Soon, Luoyang City was in front of you.

Luoyang City in the dark night is like a giant beast entrenched, which looks particularly gloomy and terrifying.

On the city wall, there were densely packed all armed soldiers, and huge bows and crossbows had been wound and aimed at the city.

Under the huge city walls, the heavy gates were closed.

"Safety!"

After confirming that it was safe, the huge gates slowly opened. It's like a giant beast opening its jaws to devour any food that comes its way.

A pair of cavalrymen with torches in their hands rushed out of Luoyang City, holding torches high on both sides of the brick road outside the city gate to show the way.

"Drive!" The coachman drank.

Under the guidance of the torches on both sides, he quickly drove into Luoyang City.

One by one, when the belly of the fish in the east was white, all the people and horses had already entered Luoyang City.

"Bang dang!"

The huge gate fell again, and everyone's hearts settled down, and this time it was finally completed.

In order to avoid suspicion, the 1,000 cavalry led by Pang Yu did not enter Luoyang City, and stopped three miles away from Luoyang, waiting for the night to respond again.

Because the merchants of Daxing City can only stay in Luoyang City for a day. (To be continued......)
