Chapter 81: The Iron Bucket-like Wind Pier

Skipped Jiang Laohan and other people, because he found a good job with high wages, he didn't mention the excitement in his heart.

After a short time, more than a dozen people joined with labor tools, including two carpenters, all of whom became temporary laborers under Hu Biao and his subordinates.

Yu Hanfeng, a rookie, temporarily acted as a construction worker.

In front of a sketch drawn by Huang Yizhi, he began to direct these people to take their own labor tools and work outside the Suifeng Pier.

Regarding this time, Hu Biao and his family plan to hire fifty laborers at one time this time, this decision is actually the result of careful consideration after a collective discussion by a group of netizens.

Originally covering an area of five or six hundred square meters, Suifeng Pier is the appearance of a small earthen castle.

On the three-meter-high earthen platform, there is not only a circle of earthen walls of a little more than a meter, but also some rooms and warehouses repaired with bricks and earth; In general, in terms of defense, it is okay.

But since it was breached once by passing Tartars more than a month ago.

There has been a certain amount of destruction, and many places are almost meaningless.

What's more, Hu Biao and the others were facing a battle that they didn't know how intense it would be in five days, so they naturally wanted to try to strengthen the fortifications here in Suifeng Dun in a limited time.

If you can, it's best to strengthen into a bucket defense formation with no dead ends.

There are many specific strengthening programs, such as:

First, dig out and transport away some of the silt at the bottom of the ditch outside the Suifeng pier, which has long since dried up and does not know.

The trench, which was originally only less than two meters deep and more than one meter wide, should be at least three meters deep and two meters wide, so that the Tartars could not directly climb the wall.

At the bottom, some sharpened sticks were installed, preferably from the river two miles away, to fill the trenches.

Otherwise, this kind of earthen city wall tartar used its blade, and easily dug out some borrowing places that could be climbed upward.

Even more ferocious, the Tartars can dig up a wall of dirt for you.

Second, the Tartar's riding and archery skills are very powerful, and the threat to the defenders of the terrain like Suifeng Dun is also very great.

Often, when they move quickly on horseback, the arrows they shoot in their hands can accurately hit the target; On the other hand, on the defensive side, it is difficult for them to shoot these moving targets because of archery.

Therefore, they prepared to dig a dense trap on the ground around the Suifeng pier, within 150 meters.

You don't need to dig how big or deep, there is a bowl the size of a bowl, twenty or thirty centimeters deep is enough; A horse that is large enough to gallop will break its ankle ring and throw off the knight in front of it when it steps in.

If the Tartars dare to rush over and play riding and shooting, they won't be able to kill these bastards.

Third, in just five days, it is estimated that there is no way to put a layer of green bricks on the four or five meter-high earthen wall of Suifeng Dun to make it stronger.

There is no way to increase the height of the wind pier that comes out of the entire earthen ram.

However, everyone agreed that it didn't matter if the height could not be increased in a short period of time, but some defensive facilities such as arrow towers should be completely installed.

In addition to the kind of arrow tower that is directly erected at the top of the pier and increases the height; It is also possible to add some arrow towers that extend from the excavation wall.

More precisely, some wooden platforms that extend out.

On the shelves around the platform, you can completely cover it with some military coats or quilts.

Because netizens clearly remember that in the dramas they have watched, many of our soldiers charged with watered quilts, and the devil's crooked machine guns couldn't penetrate them.

Even if the plot in the drama is not credible, then it should be no problem for them to lower the standard and block the heavy arrows of the Tartars, right?

Think about it, once the fight is over, they will hide in the turret that can defend against Tartar arrows.

The sharp arrows of the Tartars could not shoot through the military coats and quilts at all, but they quietly used bows and arrows, or bird guns to beckon out, as long as they hit, they could cause results.

That feeling must be beautiful.

Fourth, Yang Dongli and the others went to Loess Fort this time, and of course they had been told by Hu Biao before setting off to get some artillery as much as possible.

What kind of red-coat cannons, generals' cannons, even if you forget them, it is estimated that you can't afford them; Like the famous Furlong cannon, this small cannon is better to get some back.

It's just that Hu Biao is not sure if this kind of small cannon can be obtained.

Therefore, such as traditional door knife carts and trebuchets, these more traditional defense facilities naturally have to be installed one by one and built.

It's just that the above ideas are very good, and there are also no small difficulties in it.

With Hu Biao's little manpower in their twenties, as well as the physical labor ability of their weak chickens; Even if you don't train or sleep, you can't do the amazing amount of work.

Fortunately, the copper coins seized from the Tartars weighed more than a hundred catties.

In this year, Chongzhen Tongbao is the best quality, and the small flat coin inside is 3 grams, and a piece that can be used as five copper coins is 3.7 grams.

After a little calculation, this big bag of copper coins can be twenty or thirty thousand yuan.

I don't know if those Tartars got such a bunch of things out of the cellar of the landlord's old wealth.

As for the direction of the use of this pile of copper coins, except for the wolf Qing who has some research in this area, he pouted and pulled in it for a long time, and made one or two hundred plans that were said to be of some value and brought them back.

The rest, it is said that there is no value to bring back at all.

Just to hire some people to help them with the above ideas.

After careful calculation by Hu Biao and the others, they thought that fifty people had worked for four days, and the wages had just basically consumed the pile of copper coins.

Why do you only plan to do it for four days when you still have five days to go?

It was a group of netizens who were worried about the last day, and those Tartars didn't know when they would attack; If they had come early, would not have these people suffered?

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, so as long as they work for four days.

After all, Suifeng Dun is not big, and there are four days of busy work, which is enough to complete the above preparations......

******

In the early hours of the day, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the Castle began to offer the promised lunch to the hired laborers.

In such a process, Jiang Laohan reaped one unexpected surprise after another.

With the knowledge he has lived for most of his life, let alone seen such a thing, he has never heard of such a good thing.

Grandpa! Their food at noon was actually white flour steamed buns, fist-sized steamed buns were divided into five hands and feet, and there was also a bowl of pork bone soup.

said that it was bone broth, but Jiang Laohan clearly saw that on each bowl of soup, there was a thick layer of oil flowers floating on it; Even among them, there are quite a few fatty slices and winter melons

I drank it in my mouth, and the taste was so beautiful that it was on the tip of my heart.

In the past, they worked for Jiang Dashan, the richest person in the village, that is, a few miscellaneous grain nests; There is no soup, but the cold water is enough.

If you want to eat white-flour steamed buns, it's almost the same when you wait for the New Year.

"These soldiers are all good men, but they don't know how to save their lives, and no matter how rich they are, they can't stand such a bad practice."

Jiang Laohan, who muttered such a sentence in his mouth, snatched a white-flour steamed bun from the little son who was eating with a mouthful of oil next to him, and put it into his arms together with the two steamed buns in his hand.

This is going to be brought back in the evening and given to the mother of the child at home.

At the same time, he also cut off, and before eating again, he wanted to give his second daughter to the idea of the soldier surnamed 'Yu'.

Mainly before eating, he finally learned about the feats of these Suifengdun soldiers.

Yesterday he actually took the initiative to attack, killed a lot of tartars, and seized good money, cattle, horses, and silk cloth; I've heard about it for a while, and there is still a holy reward coming down.

Thinking about the appearance of this military man surnamed Yu, he is also considered Zhou Zheng, and he speaks politely, nicely, and crepe-likely.

What's more, he should be able to get a lot of silver, and Jiang Laohan has such a little thought; Forget about his second daughter to the other party.

After all, although his second daughter's appearance is just average, she has a strong figure and looks like she is going to give birth to a son, so the military man surnamed Yu must be very willing.

Originally, he was thinking about who to entrust so that he could talk about this family business.

It's a pity that looking at the behavior of these people, Jiang Laohan immediately retracted all his thoughts.

These soldiers are too losers, and they can't use their money so indiscriminately, can't they save it and buy a few acres of good paddy fields to live......

At the same time, Yu Hanfeng, who was also eating big steamed buns and broth, suddenly sneezed loudly without warning.

Originally, he wanted to take a look around to see if someone was secretly speaking ill of him again.

Just at such a time, Hu Biao, the commander of their dead street, heard in his ears, "Yu Hanfeng, corn, you guys?" Hurry up' after.

This 26-year-old single dog immediately forgot about such a trivial matter and ran towards Hu Biao.

I don't know what I'm missing out on before I know it.
