"It's a really good road." Walking on the newly built road, Shu Han couldn't help but raise his head and said to the engineering team on the side, this person was Du Erxin, who originally planned to build a power station, and when he heard what Shu Han said, he smiled and said: "There was originally an ancient road here, although it was abandoned, but at least it pointed out the direction and route for us, Zhang Ruoming and other adults went through another exploration of the road, so that we would not become blind, and it was naturally easier to build the road on the original basis." ”

"You mean, there used to be ancient roads here? Is it the path of the pastoral age? Shu Han asked curiously, he didn't expect that those roads more than three hundred years ago could be preserved to this era, Du Erxin nodded, and said: "Yes, the ancient road is buried under the road built by the Black Iron City, and on this road, there is another layer of loess, so the ancient road can be preserved, the human beings in the pastoral era have leveled the ground, although many years have passed now, but at least the traces of the road still exist, and the foundation is also very strong, we will build the road, it will be relatively easy." ”

Shu Han couldn't help but ask curiously: "Then can we collect some materials of ancient roads, or materials, do analysis, and try to see if we can copy the materials of these ancient roads?" Shu Han thought to himself, in this era, the way of building roads in the Black Iron City is very primitive, basically using the process of loess mat road, as for the cement technology, although it has been mastered, but the production is not high, this is a big problem.

In fact, a small part of the modern technology, the Black Iron City is inherited, but because of the destruction of large machines, they are simply unable to produce, for this, Shu Han has a deep understanding, in his own time, the world has already entered globalization, a generation of large machine parts, often from more than a dozen countries around the world, hundreds of factories, through the world's powerful transportation network for exchange, so as to form a machine.

And the disaster has broken the network of the global industrial chain, and now it is impossible to produce machines, no one can master the production of all parts, which is the biggest trouble, and it is precisely because of this that Black Iron City has no way to produce those machines, only the most primitive methods to produce cement, the result is that the quality is very poor at the same time, the output is also very low, used to build houses or something, barely enough, but used to build roads, which is obviously not enough.

Shu Han wondered if there would be new technology on these ancient roads, so as to improve the scientific and technological level of the Black Iron City, but Duer's new answer was undoubtedly realistic, he said: "There are fragments of these ancient roads in our laboratory, and we have studied them, but unfortunately, with our current technology, we can't reproduce it at all, and the asphalt technology contained in it requires oil to refine, and we don't master this kind of energy, and at the same time, the refining technology, the Black Iron City does not have it, This requires a lot of electricity to be able to accomplish. ”

Du Erxin's words are undoubtedly very practical, which also makes Shu Han dare not think nonsense, leading the army all the way forward, camping This kind of work, as an army that has participated in several major wars, is naturally not a problem, but because there will be enemies around from time to time, so when it was less than thirty kilometers away from Yangcheng, Shu Han ordered the troops to stop moving, and set up camp, ready to wait for Liu Sanyi's troops to arrive, and on his side, he sent scout troops, led by Skywalkers, Kill the surrounding enemy patrols, at least at this time, to let the enemy know that the Black Iron City people are coming.

But Shu Han does not intend to show up, giving the enemy the fear he deserves, this is undoubtedly a strategic oppression, and at the same time, the current strength in his hands is too small compared with the Holy Alliance, if he rushes out of the forest directly and is exposed to the enemy, it is easy for the enemy to recognize his strength, and this is not good for Shu Han, it is very likely to be completely wiped out by the Holy Alliance, at this time Liu Sanyi's troops are still undergoing reorganization, it will take at least half a month to reach the vicinity of Yangcheng, during this time, You have to hide it.

But he can't have no movement at all, then his fifteen days will be wasted, so Shu Han made the decision to harass the surrounding area of the forest and turn this forest into his main battlefield, so that the enemy can not determine how many troops there are on his side, and second, it can make the enemy army jealous, so that he does not dare to attack Yangcheng with all his strength and buy time for Yangcheng.

At the same time, it is also to tell Yangcheng that the Black Iron City is coming, and the Holy Alliance does not know what the origin of this army in the forest is, but Yangcheng must know, not long ago, they also contacted each other, such a little guess, it can still be done, whether Yangcheng regards the Black Iron City as an enemy or an ally, this can make the Black Iron City increase the desire to survive, which is a good thing, in Shu Han's view, this war, the survival and strength of the Yang City is the key.

Otherwise, if it is only with Yi Quilo's strength, even if he can be equal to the Holy Alliance, if he wants to defeat the enemy, he must pay a very heavy price, and these costs, Black Iron City can't afford to pay, but Yangcheng can take this task very well, and limit the scope of the war to Yangcheng, then the dead and injured are the people of Yangcheng, and the mainland of Black Iron City will be intact, and can continue to provide reinforcements, so Yangcheng will definitely not be able to die, which is also the reason why Liu Sanyi let Shu Han take the lead in leading the troops. is afraid that it will drag on for too long, resulting in the tragedy of the destruction of Yangcheng.

Therefore, the two agreed that Shu Han would go first and wait for Liu Sanyi's arrival, and during this time, they would focus on ambush warfare and guerrilla warfare, forming a huge pressure on the enemy's reconnaissance troops, and if the timing was right, they could also find opportunities to annihilate part of the enemy's forces under the condition of ensuring their own safety.

And for this, Shu Han's ambition is undoubtedly very big, and the biggest advantage of the Black Iron City side now is that the Holy Alliance does not know that in the rear of Yangcheng, there is a city-state behind it, and now Shu Han is leading the army and is approaching them, which is unknown to the Holy Alliance.

The enemy is in the open, and our army is in the dark, this is Shu Han's most important reliance, so according to this, Shu Han's guerrilla warfare policy is to harass the mainstay, and at the same time, all armies will remove the symbol of Black Iron City and change to the symbol of Yangcheng, and the troops are limited to about 500 people, pretending to be a guerrilla force in Yangcheng. Number Five

As for the symbol of Yangcheng, it was naturally provided by Wu Zhang and others, although they were children in the countryside, they had also seen the soldiers of Yangcheng, through their help, Black Iron City urgently produced a batch of Yangcheng's clothing and clothing, and handed them to Shu Han and them, under the command of ten Skywalkers, a total of 400 cavalry attacked the troops who were patrolling in the surrounding forests to find the enemy.

The Holy Alliance was obviously caught off guard, they originally thought that there was only a small group of enemy troops in the forest, otherwise they would not have killed a commander, and none of the soldiers on the periphery were moved, which was unreasonable, so most of their search troops were also in groups of twenty or thirty people, the scale was not large, in the case of mental calculation or unintentional, the cavalry troops led by Zhang Ruoming and others soon wiped out all the enemy search troops on the front line in the direction of Yangcheng within one day, of course, the enemy also reacted quickly, Obviously, their predictions were wrong, and the enemy was not a small force at all, but an unknown number, but necessarily a large force.

And according to the description of the surviving soldiers, the enemy was very well-armed, the cavalry was armored, and equipped with muskets, and the technical and tactical level was very high, and they cooperated with each other tacitly, not at all like temporary recruited soldiers, which surprised the former enemy commanders of the Holy Alliance.

But they still did not doubt the origin of Shu Han and others at this time, there are two main reasons, the first is that Shu Han's troops are all wearing Yangcheng standard clothes, this alone, it is difficult to make people doubt, as for why these enemies are all equipped with firearms, but the number of firearms in Yangcheng is so small, the former enemy commander did have doubts, but because Shu Han sent cavalry, cavalry is the most elite troops in any city, and it is not an incomprehensible thing to be equipped with muskets, Therefore, although I felt that Yangcheng's firepower was a little fierce, I didn't have too many doubts.

The former enemy commander of the Holy Alliance did not recklessly arrange for the army to enter the forest in a vain attempt to exterminate Shu Han's troops, because he did not know how many people were in the forest, and the number of people who could survive from the enemy's iron hooves was not many, according to their descriptions, many people had already been frightened by the fighting and bloodshed on the battlefield, and as for the rest, although they could barely keep their senses, But Shu Han and the others were all in the forest, and it was really difficult to determine how many people there were by using the shelter of the big trees.

In the case that the size of the number could not be determined, the former enemy commander finally decided not to strike at the interior of the forest for the time being, but returned to the headquarters of the legion and reported the news to the legion commander, Zheng Yuanche, at this time it was close to dusk in the afternoon, almost five o'clock, at this time Zheng Yuanche was in his own barracks, drinking and having fun with the soldiers, the depression of Yangcheng made the already proud Holy Alliance army have already lost their vigilance, even Zheng Yuanche, did not think that there might be any accidents in the city, In the middle of the barracks, there was a group of dancing beautiful women, most of them fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing very thin clothes, it was early spring, and it was not long before the winter had passed, the room was not cold, but it was not hot, the cold wind blew in through the curtains, and the skin of these girls was stained with a flush, and their faces had a reluctant smile, but there was uncontrollable horror in their eyes.

These girls, all natives of Yangcheng, were intercepted by these commanders because of their good looks, and became their pets, and the top ones have already been used by these commanders in their tents, and the rest of them were sent to the barracks to be exercised and became singers.

In order to learn to dance and not be cruelly treated by these enemies, they can only learn to dance desperately, and they don't know how many injuries they have suffered in the process, and those who do not persevere have been given to the soldiers of the Holy Alliance, and their end is often not good.

Those men don't treat these Yangcheng women as their wives, and even most of them have their own wives in the home city of the Holy Alliance, for them, these Yangcheng women are just playthings, just toys for them to relax a little in this boring battlefield, what dignity does such a person have.

Staying in the ranks of singers, at least they can barely be bullied at will, but their results are already doomed, and they know it very well in their hearts, so although they are very cold and hungry, they also try to smile, deeply afraid that their smiles are not sincere, so that the enemy can find a reason to beat them in vain.

Zheng Yuanche held a transparent glass in his hand, which was purple-red wine, Zheng Yuanche sat in his place, accompanied by a beauty on the left and right, these two people are also Yangcheng people, the posture is the most beautiful among all the captives, only twenty-eight years old, Zheng Yuanche saw it for the first time, and took the two of them for his own use, at this time the two of them had a flattering smile on their faces, one was pillow on Zheng Yuanche's chest, and the other was to help Zheng Yuanche separate the food, his eyes were full of love, as for the heart, how, That's probably only for them.

Zheng Yuanche looked at the dance in the center of the stage, his heart was full of pride, this battle, Yangcheng's combat ability is simply vulnerable, he believes that as long as it takes another two months, the food in the city will inevitably be exhausted, and as long as it hits at will, it will be enough to make the city fall, and then his family will take over Yangcheng in an all-round way, so that in the Blue Pigeon City, his family's ranking is bound to move forward, thinking of the upcoming benefits, Zheng Yuanche's mouth unconsciously leaked a smile, Thinking of the tigress in his family, when one day he was about to no longer be able to use his family's power to threaten him, Zheng Yuanche became even happier.

And at this moment, the former enemy commander returned to the barracks, Zheng Yuanche didn't care, waved his hand and asked the doorman to invite someone in, seeing the former enemy commander, Zheng Yuanche said with a smile: "General Li, I've been working hard all day, come, have a drink." “

"General Xie." The general surnamed Li hesitated, took the cup from Zheng Yuanche's hand, and drank the wine in it, at this time Zheng Yuanche said: "General Li, I came back early this time, what's the matter, the search mission is completed?" Zheng Yuanche couldn't help but be happy when he saw General Li drink the wine under his own will, he knew very well that this General Li didn't drink a drop of wine in front of others, and he let him drink it, he liked this feeling.
