Chapter 30: Final Chapter (16)
The ground that had just finished the snow was slippery and easy to fall, and even the men did not dare to rush to drive the car to deliver food, so they only waited for the rain and snow to stop before moving.
However, Zheng Quqi didn't care about it, he had already arrived at the rear camp at the fastest speed, and as soon as he walked to the cordon, he saw a busy scene inside.
She didn't ride a horse, and she was afraid of slipping on the road and causing an accident, so she used to run, and she ran all the way, and before she had time to take a breath, she was in a hurry to find someone.
It didn't take long for her to find it, but Fu Rong didn't sleep all night, with a white face, and was directing the staff not far away.
"No, spread the tarpaulin after the grease is applied, be careful, pour it slowly......
They burned the collected resin into a liquid form and slowly brushed it between the cracks in the wood at the bottom of the black bear wagon, which was the first layer of protection, and then spread a layer of tarpaulin on the inside of the truck to prevent seepage for the second time, and finally poured water into the inside.
Each truck is equipped with an oilcloth, and the so-called oilcloth is actually a cotton cloth brushed with a layer of tung oil, and after the tung oil dries quickly, it can prevent wind and rain.
Nowadays, the role of the tarpaulin has become another form of insulating material, and the carriage is used as a container to hold water.
"Fu Rong."
Zheng Quqi beckoned to him.
When Fu Rong heard Zheng Quqi's voice, he immediately looked back, until he saw her standing behind him drenched in sweat, so he hurried to meet her.
"Ma'am? You're here, I'm almost ready here."
Zheng Quqi patted him on the shoulder and said approvingly, "Well done, I've seen it all, how is it, there's no problem, right?"
"No problem, come and see."
Fu Rong led her over to check, only to see a black bear compartment sealed, filled with nearly half of the car's water, and there was smoke, which was clearly hot water.
"Missing?"
"It's basically okay, but if you move, I'm afraid I'll spill a little." Fu Rongdao.
Zheng Quqi looked down when she heard this, she squatted down and then got into the bottom of the carriage, and after a thorough investigation, she said, "No problem, it doesn't matter if you sprinkle some, the oilcloth is nailed to the wooden board, which is equivalent to a capsule, if it is bumpy and fierce, at most it will leak out of the cracks in the doors or windows."
"Everything is according to Madame's words, and you will be able to go on the road with another grease in your hand."
"What about the scoop?"
Fu Rong turned his head and raised his chin in one direction: "Oh, there, it's done, all of us are busy working all night, and we have cut a hundred and ten, and the size is about the same as you explained, if it's not enough, then let's take a rice spoon to make it up."
The rice spoon used in the military camp is not small, it is the size of a head, after all, the rice spoon that cooks the big pot of rice and stirs it is small and uneven.
Zheng Quqi stepped forward and picked up a round scoop from the ground, which was bigger than her helmet, although the craftsmanship was rough, she just took a piece of wood and chiseled it hollow, but the time was tight and she couldn't pay attention to any beauty, as long as it was practical.
She smiled with satisfaction.
"Very good, although the amount is not enough, but it can be used."
"Everything is almost ready, so now let's transport these to the front?" Fu Rong saw Zheng Quqi squatting on the ground and counting the number of scoops, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Madam, can you tell me the truth, what are we doing all this for?"
It was boiling water and digging a scoop, if it weren't for the enemy on the battlefield, he would have thought that she wanted to bathe and clean.
Zheng Quqi didn't answer for a while, and after she counted the number, she stood up and asked, "Fu Rong, did Wang Zebang and Brother Wei go to contain the other two groups of people in the Beiyuan Army?"
Fu Rong was stunned by the question, and said slowly, "...... That's right."
"They didn't return overnight, but I'm afraid that the situation will not be easy, if our side can't solve it, this battle is only afraid of danger." She looked into the air and sighed.
Fu Rong asked, "What does Madame want to say?"
"I'm a little ......bottomless in my heart now," she scratched her hair and smiled bitterly: "Such a major thing, I just rely on some wild history and some TV series I watched in the past to do it, in case it doesn't work......
What is a TV series?
Fu Rong didn't understand some of her words too much, but through her words, he finally understood what she was thinking.
After all, the general's wife is only a twenty-year-old girl, and no matter how smart and capable she is, she will have times of weakness and self-doubt, just because she is still a person with a strong sense of responsibility and a very good sense of morality.
Don't say it's her, every time these generals make decisions and strategize, they are also cautious, just because of one wrong step, the sacrifice is the lives of countless soldiers.
"Madam, if you don't try, you won't succeed, but if you try, is it still possible?" He tried to exonerate her.
She looked at him and listened to him continue.
"Those of us who go to the battlefield have long been enlightened that life and death depend on fate, if everyone is absolutely sure to do it, then no one will be willing to take the lead."
Zheng Quqi also hesitated for a moment, but when people were approached the edge of the cliff, they didn't want to compromise and didn't want to die, so they could only fight alone.
"Well, you're right, I shouldn't succeed if I don't try, I should believe in myself and in you."
——
On the snowy plain where snowflakes were flying, the soldiers on both sides clenched their weapons and rushed towards each other through the snow.
Blood stained the earth red, forming a shocking picture in a patch of white.
The shouts of the soldiers and the clashing of weapons resounded throughout the battlefield, and the drums thundered, and the crowd surged like a tide as if to break through the shackles of this ice and snow.
The ballistae in the rear of the Ye army were extinguished due to the extremely cold weather and turned into squibs, but the crossbow arrows could still be used, but in the face of the iron wall forged by the "Iron Horse", their attack strategy obviously no longer worked, at least without the comprehensive crushing at the beginning, and victory was imminent.
As the Iron Horse moves slowly but unstoppably, its massive body is both a drum beat for advancement and an absolute weapon for killing enemies.
In this fierce battle, due to the addition of the "Iron Horse", the Ye army was threatened, and once the other side covered the Beiyuan army and broke through the trench defense line, the Ye army would inevitably collapse.
In order to block each other, they could only rely on the soldiers to block with their bodies, but when the sword was slashed, they could only hear the sound of metal impacting, and in the next second, the screams kept ringing, the cold light flickered, and blood splashed everywhere.
Their bodies were pierced by the sharp blades in the body of the "Iron Horse" and they fell down, but there was no fear in their eyes, only the attachment to their country and the desire for victory, even at the last moment of their lives, they still wanted to wield their weapons and die with the enemy.
It's a pity that their enemy was never a "man", but a machine made of iron, it was cold and powerful, and everywhere it went, it only left corpses everywhere.
"The Iron Horse made by the Public...... How powerful is that?" Pu Jiadi was shocked when he saw the performance of the Iron Horse on the battlefield.
A chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he couldn't imagine how he would have responded if the enemy had placed such a killing weapon on the battlefield......
Although Hou Feiqing had heard of the "Iron Horse" invented by Gong Lose, it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, and this was also appalling.
"It can hide people in their inner abdomen and move around, and it can also mobilize mechanisms to slaughter, which is difficult to destroy by external forces, and can also be used as a small fortress to hide troops and move secretly, which is simply an amazing invention."
