Section 1009 Battle of Gaoque (2)

Looking at the map, Yi Zong pondered for a long time, and finally gave up any plans to sneak or bypass Gao Que. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is also the limitation of the Riverlands.
This vast grassland, although open, is not an endless prairie after all.
Yin Mountain and Yang Mountain, as well as the Great River, together dominate this world.
The strength of mortals is simply not enough to cross this place.
"It can only be in Gaoque City, give the Huns enough killing!" Yi thought about it.
However, this is unlikely.
The Han-Hungarian War and the decades of each other's habits of dealing with each other can be said to be very clear.
The Huns, when they see that the situation is not good, run away, this is their nature.
For the record, there has never been a story of the Huns holding on to a certain place and fighting to the death.
On the contrary, seeing that the situation is not good, there are many people who flee like cow hair.
Typically, in that year, Yingyin Yihou led his troops to the north and started the Henan War with the Xiongnu.
After suffering several losses in the early days, the Huns decisively gave up many of the border fortresses they had been operating for decades, and even gave up Yunzhong, turned around and fled back to the grassland.
Subsequently, several attacks and defenses of Mayi also proved that the Huns would not only retreat when they were unfavorable, but even when they were evenly matched, they would retreat as long as they found that they might suffer heavy losses.
There is no better way to preserve oneself than the Huns.
"Unless there is something that makes them have to hold on to their high ......," Yi Zong thought, and then, he thought of those pregnant women and babies in Yiliang.
The number of these pregnant women and babies is as high as more than 40,000!
Moreover, many of them are Dawan women.
Before Gaoque, the Xiongnu had so many pregnant women and babies.
So how many will be behind Gao Que?
In addition, there were countless livestock in the concentration camp in Yiliang.
The Huns retreated in too haste, and there were as many as two or three hundred thousand livestock herds abandoned in Yiliang alone.
Although they are all cattle and sheep, there are also a few horses.
So, behind Gao Que, how much will this number be?
At least a million, right?!
How long will it take for such a large herd of livestock and a large herd of women and children to retreat?
Yi Zong remembered the pomp and circumstance of the imperial court when he emigrated to Anton a few years ago.
In order to send 100,000 immigrants to Andong safely, the Han family spent almost half a year to prepare, and then it took another half a year to complete the magnificent project.
And the Huns had to retreat herds and populations of this size.
At the very least, it will take half a month!
It may even take a month!
Thinking of this, Yizong stood up.
Will the Huns swear to the death in Gaoque for the sake of those livestock, women and children?
Just test it.
So, Yizong stood up, walked out of the barracks, came to Honghu Sai, found a few Shaofu officials who stayed here, and asked: "I heard that Shaofu once found a kind of stone grease in Gaonu, which can be used for fire and city defense, I don't know if this is the case?" ”
The officials of the Shaofu looked at each other and were a little flustered.
The Stone Grease Project is a top-secret project within the Shaofu.
Shaofu wanted to obtain a viscous ointment from the stone grease for use in the construction of roads, bridges, buildings and cities.
However, the plan was greatly constrained from the outset.
This is because at present, Shaofu only found that kind of stone resin in Gaonu County, and the yield is low, and the annual output is only 1,000 stones.
There is no use for anything other than experimenting.
However, the Son of Heaven was very concerned about this project and encouraged Shaofu to continue experimenting and developing.
It is also predicted that this thing will replace coal in the future and become the most important and valuable resource of the Han family.
As a relative, Yi Zong can know the existence of stone grease, which is normal.
But......
How did he know that we had some of the grease with the army?
Yi Zong looked at them, but he smiled slightly, and said: "It seems to be true, Shao Fuqing really asked you to carry hundreds of stone grease to accompany the army, in order to explore the changes of this thing in extremely cold conditions!" ”
"But, now, in the name of the general of the chariot cavalry, the Great Han Dongcheng Hou, all these stone greases have been recruited!" Yi Zong took out a jade pendant on his waist, threw it to them, and said: "This is a royal gift from the Son of Heaven, the officials of the Shaofu, listen to the order!" ”
The officials took the jade pendant and looked at it.
I saw that on the jade pendant, with a small compilation, four big characters were engraved: If I am here!
They immediately knelt down, respectfully received the order, and said, "Your ministers are hereby edicted!" ”
In front of Yizong, in front of this jade pendant, the officials of the Shaofu will definitely not be principled.
Because, they are the retainers of the heavenly family.
Not courtiers!
Only a courtier can speak principles in front of the emperor, and a retainer ...... The principle is to obey the edict of the Son of Heaven!
However, out of principle, a Shaofu official brought an official document to Yi Zong and said, "Please sign it!" ”
This is also the system that the Shaofu has begun to establish: all the transactions of materials and money must be recorded, and in addition to bookkeeping, they must also be recorded, and in addition to the record, someone must sign and draw a pledge.
Even if the person who calls the materials is the Son of Heaven, it needs to be signed by the Son of Heaven himself before the materials can be called.
Otherwise, if there is a gap.
Then, the person responsible for the management of these materials will be directly investigated.
If the scale of the omission is too large, the six young mansions will also sit together!
After the establishment of this unreasonable system, it immediately blocked many ways for the Shaofu rats to enrich their own pockets.
Of course, it is impossible to completely eradicate these behaviors.
Of course, Yizong also knew this rule, he took the paperwork, looked at it, and then signed his name on it, and stamped his own seal with the general of the chariot.
After confirming Yizong's signature, these Shaofu officials smiled and said, "General, please come with me......
A quarter of an hour later, under their leadership, Yi Zong came to a cellar in the Honghu Sai.
This may have been a cellar left by the Qin people to store wine and grain.
But at the moment, this cellar became a warehouse for the storage of certain special products in Shaofu.
Opening the cellar door, Yi Zong followed the officials of the Shaofu inside, lit the torches, and then saw that this cellar was full of all kinds of materials.
Yizong even saw dozens of huge new giant crossbows.
"Shaofu plans to conduct a winter experiment on the Divine Arm Bow here?" Yi Zong smiled and said, "Good idea! ”
This time, because it was winter, it caused serious trouble to the strong crossbow troops of the Han army.
Many bows and crossbows that could have been freely used in the Great Wall have lost their combat capabilities in this icy and snowy place.
Fortunately, the Han army was relatively well prepared and carried a large amount of quicklime, otherwise half of the strong crossbow troops would face the embarrassment that the bow and crossbow could not be tensioned.
Those Shaofu officials smiled when they heard this.
The weapons of the Han army have now established a variety of experimental systems before entering service.
It is necessary not only to find a few pilots in the army for observation, but also to conduct experiments in a variety of environments.
This is a system that ensures the reliability and practicality of weapons equipped for mass production of standards. (To be continued.) )
