391 The Solution

Hong Chengchou's move was really shady. He could think of it with the mud against the chariots and artillery cars!

If Zhu Qizhu is full of infantry soldiers, his move is actually not very useful, because whether it is Tunwei or ordinary young and strong, everyone is almost all from mud legs, so it will be hard to run around. At worst, everyone takes off their shoes and rolls up their trousers, just like going to work in the fields. It's no big deal.

The problem is that the tanks and cannons are not good. Once the wheels are stuck in the mud, they can't even push them.

Zhu Qizhe stood on the mountain bun next to the dock, staring blankly at the mud in front of him, and he was almost furious.

Hong Chengchou's animal is really annoying. Why didn't you see you so wise and tricky when you beat Jiannu?

Of course, it is useless to be angry at this time. Instead of being angry, it is better to think about how to break this trick.

Send people to block all the canals, and then wait for the mud to slowly turn into something?

This method seems to be unworkable because there are too many water sources near Jinan City. There are the Yellow River, the Yufu River, the Xingji River, the Daxin River, the Xiaoqing River, the Daming Lake, the Yuqing Lake, the Huashan Lake, etc. There is a lot of groundwater, and even if the holes in the ditches are blocked, the underground is still wet.

Moreover, even if water does not emanate from the ground, it will take too long to completely dry the mud. With the weather at this moment, it will take at least a month to make this mud swamp pass through tanks and cannon cars.

Just this, I have to count on God not to rain. Once it rains, the ground will turn into a pool of mud, and I have to wait for another month.

In other words, if it rains here every month, there is no need to fight this battle, at least don’t expect to use chariots and cannon cars.

Unless it is almost the same when the mud is frozen hard by winter.

However, there is another problem in winter, that is, the problem of splashing water into ice.

At that time, as long as they stand on the city wall and pour some water down, the city wall will slide like an ice rink. Not to mention siege, it would be good to stand firmly.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that they also have red cannons.

There are fifty red cannons in Jinan City!

With so many red cannons, if you don’t use cannons to let them fire out first and send infantry to attack hard, it would be a suicide.

Because the infantry could not run in the mud, the red-clothed cannon would definitely have heavy casualties!

Hong Chengchou may be trying to use these factors to make them retreat.

Will red utensils retreat when they see the difficulties?

Of course this is impossible!

If Hong Chengchou is not so mean, he may not be so angry.

At this moment, he was so angry that he was too angry by Hong Chengchou. It would be impossible to eliminate the hatred in his heart if he didn't kill Hong Chengchou, a guy who sold his country and seeks honor.

Faced with the mud that was more than ten miles in a radius, others might not be able to think of a solution, but he soon came up with a solution.

He put down his telescope and thought for a while, then pointed to an empty space east of the pier and ordered: "You go there first to set up the camp."

This mountain bag is almost ten miles away from Jinan City, and the open space east of the pier is at least two or three miles away from this mountain bag. Hong Chengchou naturally won’t be so bored. He sent more than ten miles to dig a trenches. Therefore, there is no problem in setting up camp here. The problem is how to wade through the mud and push the cannon cart to the city wall.

He then said to Ning Choudan beside him: "Send the secret guards to explore the southeast and find a stone mountain that is easier to dig."

Uh, do you dig a stone to fill the mud?

How do you say this method?

If it's just for the sake of being a person, then there's no problem. If you've thought about a car, it's difficult. It's too difficult to fill a silt one foot deep or even two feet deep with a stone. It's basically bumpy when filling it out. How can the chariots and cannon cars be pushed over?

Of course, this question was not something Ning Choudan should consider, so he didn't ask anything and arranged for the secret guard to investigate.

There are hundreds of miles of mountains to the south of Jinan City. It is naturally not difficult to find a stone mountain that is easier to dig. They have war horses and chariots, and it is not bad to transport stones. The problem is, how can we fill the mud?

This is actually not difficult!

Zhu Qidiao then said to Zheng Chenggong, who was beside him: "You send the Clippers to Jinling and inform the Minister of Works Wang Zheng that he would organize the cement yard there to speed up production, and at least ten ships of cement should be delivered a day."

Cement is a good thing, so the Zhuqi Garbage Works Department has opened several cement yards near Jinling City. With the scale of the cement yard there, it should be no problem to produce ten ships of cement a day.

The solution to come up with red utensils is to use large stones to fill it almost the same, and then pour a layer of concrete on it, so that cement roads and cement floors can be paved.

No one knew what he wanted to do, because no one had used cement to pave roads and floors at this time.

However, his subordinates are still very efficient in their work.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Sewei found several stone mountains more than ten miles southeast of Jinan City. The next morning, the Zhendong Army, the Zhenxi Army, the Zhennan Army and the Zhenbei Army arrived at the Daying. After the Imperial Guards, the Qi Family Army and the Imperial Guards took their chariots to collect stones. After the Zhendong Army, the Zhenxi Army, the Zhennan Army and the Zhenbei Army set up camp tents, they also began to collect wood from nearby woods and prepare to build siege equipment.

Zhuqiu did not ask them to fill the collected stones directly into the mud. He first ordered people to screen the stones, pick out all the ones larger than the fist, and prepare to fill them in the mud, and stay the ones smaller than the fist, and pile them in the camp for later use.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered Zheng Chenggong, Qi Yuanfu and Qi Yuanbi to select some naval soldiers with good water quality and go directly to the nearby river to dig sand. The dug out sand also piled up in the camp and piled up into small hills.

On the morning of the third day, the first batch of ten ships of cement were finally delivered to the Jinling City. At this time, Zhu Qizhu summoned the generals to the tent and raised his hand and gestured: "It is not difficult for us to capture Jinan City. Just build a cross-shaped cement road in the north of the city. This cross-shaped cement road is baseed with huge rocks, and a layer of cement, concrete mixed with fine sand and gravel. In this way, as long as the cement mortar is dry, the road surface will be flat, and there is no problem whether it is a chariot or a cannon truck."

When all the generals heard this, they all showed joy on their faces.

To be honest, it is basically impossible to let them push chariots or cannon trucks to sludge. Even if huge rocks are filled in the mud, it will be quite difficult to push the chariots and cannon trucks over. If the emperor said, it would be much easier to build a flat cement road.

Of course, this cement road is not so easy to repair.

Zhu Qizhe said solemnly: "This cross-shaped vertical line is directly facing the north gate, with a width of about two zhang. It must be able to accommodate two chariots or artillery vehicles. First, it must be built about six miles away from the city gate, and then horizontally to both sides. The length of both sides is about the same as the city wall. The width is at least three zhang, and the cannon carriages and artillery operations must be accommodated. In addition, two pieces of wooden stakes must be buried in each gun position to nail the iron nails to fix the cannon stand. Well, there are so many things to pay attention to. Do you have any questions?"

This job sounds very simple, but when it comes to specific operations, everyone is a little confused because they have never done this before!

They have no problem asking them to fill the sludge with huge rocks. The problem is, what kind of concrete is this?

How much cement, how much gravel, how much sand, and how much water?

Also, after reconciling the mortar, pour it directly onto the boulder?

What other wooden stakes are there? How big is it? What is the length of the wooden stake?

Thinking of this, all the generals looked constipated.
