"Jun Hou, these are stone grease...... a young government official led Yi Zong to the depths of the cellar. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There, dozens of wooden barrels were densely stacked.

Yi Zong stepped forward and uncovered the barrel, revealing a dark brown or black viscous liquid inside.

Because of the severe cold weather outside the plug, these viscous liquids have been frozen into a frozen object similar to lard after solidification.

"This thing can burn?" Yizong asked back.

"Yes!" The Shaofu official replied: "The Mo family once did an experiment, and after this thing is ignited, it is like grease, and it will be extinguished when it burns out!" It can't even be extinguished with water! ”

"Good!" Yi Zong nodded and said, "Send all these stones to my military camp for later use!" ”

"No!"

………………

The next day, the Righteous Column crossed the North River.

At this time, the Han army had already erected six improvised pontoon bridges on the Beihe River.

The pontoon bridge is also known as '艁' (zao) in China.

The early 艁, as you can tell by looking at the font, was a method of tying up wooden boats to form bridges over the river.

Therefore, the erection of pontoon bridges is also called beams.

Like the beam of the house, the horizontal frame of the river!

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and even the Western Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors of Zhuxia had mastered the method of erecting this pontoon bridge.

It was incorporated into the social hierarchy of the time.

The so-called princes' boats, doctors' arks, and boats......

In the Book of Poetry, there is a praise: The river is eternal, and it is impossible to think about it.

This square character is actually the square of the ark, not the '泭' as many people understand.

Developed to the Qin and Han dynasties, the art of the boat has actually undergone a leap forward.

Especially during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, in order to solve the problem of the army crossing the river and the obstacle when the emperor himself traveled the world and crossed the river, the Qin people comprehensively improved the art of crossing the river on the basis of the old technology.

There are pontoons with two boats in one, connected end to end, and tied to each other.

At the height of Qin, a large number of permanent pontoon bridges were erected in the North and South Rivers for the army and the people to pass through.

However, with the collapse of the Qin Dynasty, these pontoon bridges have long been washed away by the flood and have become rotten wood.

Now, the pontoon bridge used by the Han army is a new type of pontoon bridge improved on the basis of the pontoon technology of the Qin people.

The two-boat structure of the Qin people was still adopted, but the wooden bridge design suspended from the boat was added.

This structure made it possible for the pontoon bridge to exist, even if the current of the river was turbulent, it would not be able to endanger the troops crossing the river.

Because of the use of a double-boat structure, the bridge deck of the pontoon bridge is very wide, and even war horses and even chariots can pass through.

"The technology of the tunnel camp is really not bad...... Yi Zong praised after crossing the river: "In a hurry, you can use the beams as a bridge on this big river, it is really amazing!" ”

As a high-ranking general, Yizong naturally knew that in history, there had been several major battles around the pontoon bridge.

The most famous is the late Spring and Autumn Period, when Mu Gong launched an offensive against the Jin State in order to avenge the Battle of Fukun.

In that war, the Qin people used a boat, crossed the river, and took the royal official by surprise, so that the Jin army did not even dare to face the battle.

So the remains of the fallen soldiers of the Qin State in the Battle of Mu Gong Fengkun wept for three days, and then led the troops back to China.

But historically, the matter of the ship has not only taken a long time.

In order to cross the Xiangjiang River, Qin Shi Huang made 3,000 prisoners cut down the trees in the Xiangshan Mountain. It took more than ten days before and after to build the pontoon bridge, but the weather was not beautiful, and a gust of wind blew the pontoon bridge away......

And these pontoon bridges, the tunnel camp is said to have been built in only three days.

Moreover, the materials were all taken from the trees of the nearby mountains and forests, and apart from the labor costs and some materials transported from the rear, the Han army did not spend half a copper more.

It can be said that the economic benefits are extremely high, and this kind of pontoon bridge is extremely strong, as long as it is carefully maintained, it can be used for at least three or five years!

Of course, this is also related to the freezing of the river, which greatly improves the speed and safety of the pontoon bridge.

But in any case, just by virtue of the speed of this tunnel battalion becoming a bridge in three days, it is enough to make this branch of the army a necessary auxiliary branch of the three armies of the Han Army from now on!

From now on, any general will have to bring the tunnel camp with him before he is willing to go on the expedition.

Thinking about it like this, the resentment in Yizong's heart that he wanted to share the military merits in the tunnel camp disappeared without a trace.

After crossing the river, Yi Zong led his forward, and it didn't take much time to arrive at the camp of Cheng Buzhi's department.

After a little look, Cheng Buzhi's camp, Yi Zong praised: "Hu Benwei still has some ability......

The barracks built by Cheng Buzhi were almost completely built in accordance with the regular barracks in the "Military Minutes" co-edited by Professor Wu Yuanzhu.

There are ravines, women's walls, arrow towers, and more depth.

The barracks were in front and the grain, grass and baggage were in the back.

On the left and right flanks were the barracks of the cavalry, while in the middle were the barracks of the infantry.

The barracks and the barracks for the medician are between the barracks and the baggage and granaries.

Yi Zong calculated the time, Cheng Buzhi crossed the river so far, it should not be more than five days.

In less than five days, such a tight camp was built, which is enough to prove Cheng Buzhi's ability.

This is already a general who can take charge on his own.

"If I knew this son was so capable, I should have poached him in the first place!" There is some remorse in my heart.

Back then, Hu Benwei and Yu Linwei were founded.

That drama Meng himself does not have any military talent, but he is just a middle-aged person.

He didn't even learn any formal military knowledge.

It's like his righteous column, he has been by the side of the Son of Heaven since Hedong, rising up on his own, slowly learning step by step, in the era of the prince's guard, he has begun to contact the military.

When Hu Benwei and Yu Lin Wei were created, Yu Lin Wei pressed Hu Benwei.

It's a pity that later Ju Meng found Cheng Buzhi.

This sub-commission was entrusted with a great responsibility, and since then, Hu Benwei has been on a par with Yu Linwei.

Moreover, these two Heavenly Son Guards have had a military soul since then.

In Yulinwei, in the army, he prefers to compare techniques and tactics, and is better at using various weapons.

But Tiger Benwei is different, this is an army that picks out the details to the point of no return.

Yi Zong once commanded the army of the Tiger Benwei to fight, and he knew too well the urine nature of those Tiger Benwei's Qiu Ba.

Almost every one of them is a sculpture carved out of a mold.

Always follow the requirements of the book to demand yourself and your army.

They even had strict rules on whether they should draw their swords or shoot with their crossbows first when they charged.

Even if it is death, you must follow the rules.

This certainly makes the army of the Tiger Benwei never make a mistake.

But it also limits their future achievements.

Yizong has always felt that Cheng doesn't know this guy, he is too rigid and stiff, and he is a little disgusted with him, feeling that he has destroyed a lot of materials that can be made.

But now it seems that Cheng Buzhi still has a few brushes for this person, at least, with him, Hu Benwei has not been left behind by Yu Linwei, and even in some projects, Hu Benwei still has an advantage.

Especially the cuirassier, the combat formation and combat effectiveness of the cuirass of the Tiger Benwei are stronger than those of the Yulin Guard.

"It's a pity ......" Yi Zong sighed, and had to envy the drama Meng, who found Cheng Buzhi, and it can be said that he hugged his thighs.

Nowadays, it is impossible to poach people.

It is conservatively estimated that after this battle, Cheng Buzhi will be able to become a marquis, and even serve as Jiuqing.

After a few sighs, Yi Zong moved his gaze to a position in front of the Han army.

There, five huge buildings have been erected.

"This is the siege cannon invented by the Mo family?" Yi Zong looked at those terrible instruments, and some chills were born in his heart.

In Yizong's eyes, those five buildings are no longer simple weapons.

Each one is a demon who wants to eat people.

They are full of architectural beauty, with a pedestal several feet high, supporting two huge wooden structures, and a giant log several feet long spans the wooden structure above.

Next to the pedestal, one after another round polished stone balls were piled up on the ground, and there were hundreds of them.

These stone balls weigh at least dozens or even hundreds of catties by visual inspection.

"How can these siege artillery throw these stone balls hundreds of paces?" Yi Zong thought in his heart: "If this is the case, what other city in the world can resist?" ”

I'm afraid that it is Hangu Pass, and in the face of such a weapon, it is also vulnerable.

As for Xingyang and Chenggao, they are just like the building blocks that children play with, and they will collapse when they are pushed, right?

"This world will be reshuffled!"

"There are no more fortified cities that cannot be fallen and no more insurmountable dangers!" (To be continued.) )
