Chapter 79 Materials Preparation

Qian Xiaoxing observed the terrain and asked, "Brother Zhong, why don't you build bridges on the river and then build city walls on the bridge?"

After hearing this, Lu Shengzhong shook his head and said, "This city wall must be built so high that the bridge cannot be lifted with force. This city wall cannot be built."

"Brother Zhong, have you forgotten that we have cement? It's not as good as before. With cement, this impossible project is possible." Qian Xiaoxing reminded.

When Lu Shengzhong was reminded by Qian Xiaoxing, he immediately realized and slapped his head and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of this? No, right? Even if it can be built, it must meet two points. First, all the Hu troops in Longzhan City must be eliminated, otherwise they will inevitably go out of the city to disturb the pass. Second, the construction time cannot be longer than twenty-five days. This is the time when the Hu army dispatched troops. However, it took three months to build Panlong Pass back then, and Panlong Pass was less than half of the construction volume here. This is too difficult."

After hearing Lu Shengzhong's analysis, Qian Xiaoxing nodded constantly to express his agreement, but Qian Xiaoxing said: "We have no difficulties, and we have to go even more if we have difficulties. I will try to eliminate the 20,000 Hu troops in Longzhan City. As for building a new pass, I want to mobilize the people of our entire country, I don't believe that it will not be built in twenty-five days."

Lu Shengzhong really rarely sees Qian Xiaoxing's expression so serious. The so-called things are done by humans. As long as you work hard, these difficulties are not difficult. After listening to Qian Xiaoxing's speech, Lu Shengzhong felt full of confidence and clapped Qian Xiaoxing and said, "Okay, Seventh brother will listen to you, and I don't believe it, so we can't build it!"

Qian Xiaoxing asked someone to go to measure the Sky Valley carefully and carefully depict the terrain so that when you go back to design the pass, there will be a data for reference. After drawing the topographic map, everyone returned the same way, and when they returned to Panlong Pass, it was already dark.

But in Longzhan City, the Hu army was defending closely, and sentries were lined with sentries on the city gate and the city wall. In the Hu army's command center, Hu Baojin, the general of the Southern Expedition, was eating a big mouthful of roast chicken, and asked while eating: "Chen Xuan, is your plan to lure the enemy? It's almost a month since then, why is there still no movement?"

Chen Xuan replied respectfully: "General Hu, don't be anxious. The Siguo Business Road has been blocked. They may not be anxious for a while. After waiting for a long time, they will definitely be unable to hold back."

"It's been a month," Hu Baojin said angrily: "If my prince saw the clues of the battle report, you and I would have to go back and be punished. After such a big defeat this time, maybe you and I won't have any guarantees."

It turned out that after the Hu army retreated to Longzhan City last time, he sent a war report to King Hu as usual. Hu Baojin thought that he had lost 60,000 soldiers this time, but only killed a few Si troops. If he reported such a war report, it would be strange if King Hu was not angry. So when he wrote the war report, he had some thoughts. The battle report was as follows: Panlong Pass Battle Report, our army was 80,000 elite soldiers in front of Panlong Pass, and 20,000 people were defeated in the battle to retreat to Longzhan City to guard it.

If you understand this, you will lose 20,000 people in the battle to solve the problem and retreat to Longzhan City to guard it, thinking that you have lost 20,000 people.

If the position of the segment is changed and the battle of the key points is defeated, and 20,000 people are retreating to Longzhan City to guard, it will actually lose 60,000 people and only 20,000 left.

Hu Baojin was planning to get away with it first, thinking that he could attack the Si army in the future and achieve great results. Then, the Hu King might be able to open the net and not pursue the loss of these soldiers. If he had not achieved any results, sooner or later, the matter would be leaked, and then what would be waiting for him would be a coffee table full of tragedies.

However, this trick to lure the enemy can only wait for Si Jun to take the bait, but it is hard to get it. Waiting hard but not yet resulted in the result, Hu Baojin was very anxious. If he delayed it for one more day, he might have more danger.

Seeing Hu Baojin's angry look, Chen Xuan hurriedly explained: "General Hu, I have made a summary of this defeat. It is not because our army is not strong, but because the Si army is too cunning, and they have oil refining as a weapon, which is even more powerful. I have studied this oil refining and it cannot be extinguished with water. It is indeed a powerful thing. I have found a way to put out the fire, which is to use sand and soil to cover it."

Hu Baojin cursed: "On the Black Dragon Road, we were besieged by the forest fire and had been trapped in a fire plan. In front of Panlong Pass, we were besieged by oil refining. We were caught in another fire plan. I don't think there will be a third time. If we get the fire plan again, Chen Xuan, I will chop your head first!"

Chen Xuan nodded quickly when he heard this, "There is definitely not a third time. If you are in the middle, you will commit suicide in front of you."

"That's about the same. Chen Xuan, as long as you can destroy the Hu army, even if there are thousands of troops, I promise that you will be safe when you return to Hu. Well, I'm sleepy, so go down first. By the way, I'll send two young women to my tent." Hu Baojin ordered.

"Yes, I'll go to the city to find two for the general." After that, Chen Xuan retreated.

Qian Xiaoxing returned to Si State and found King Si overnight and talked to King Si about building a pass. Although the troops could not resist Hu State, building a pass in the Sky Valley was the most practical way to make steady progress.

Although it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build a pass, when King Si heard that he had hope of regaining his territory and restoring his country, he nodded without hesitation in no matter how difficult it was.

"Xiao Qian, tell me, how can I support you? I told you that you are not fighting alone, and the people of the whole country of Si are your backing." Si Wang said sincerely.

Qian Xiaoxing replied seriously: "The time limit for construction of the pass is limited, so the manpower must be sufficient. I hope to mobilize the people of the State to the Ministry as much as possible. Anyone with labor force will be collected first, no matter how many people are."

King Si immediately replied: "Okay, there is no problem. Si State currently has a population of more than 100,000, and even women are included. It is no problem to recruit 30,000 to 40,000 laborers."

Qian Xiaoxing thought it was almost enough, so he continued: "We will prepare for building passes first, such as mining stones, firing cement, etc., and preparing to lay wooden tracks. Once the Longzhan City defenders were eliminated, we must deliver the raw materials to the Sky Valley as soon as possible."

"No problem, only you have the small money to give me, I will do it for you." King Si promised.

With the support of King Si, Qian Xiaoxing was even more confident and replied: "Okay, I'll go back and plan to eliminate the Hu army in 20,000 Longzhan City. At that time, another city can be recaptured, and the original four cities of the State of Si will be taken back."

King Si had been waiting for this sentence for too long. When he heard Qian Xiaoxing recovering the original city of Si Guo, he was immediately excited and said in tears: "Xiao Qian, you are really lucky to have Si Guo Guo Guo."

After almost a year, Qian Xiaoxing has matured a lot and is no longer the irresponsible man. He is more confident in himself and replied: "King Si, don't worry, I will help you realize this wish!"

——The number of words given away———

The next day, King Si collected laborers across the country in the name of regaining the country and avenging revenge. When the people across the country heard that the Si State was about to restore the country, they came to sign up very actively. People from all over the country were constantly gathering in Guandu.

Qian Xiaoxing called Xu Liang and Huang Wenqiang here, and Xu Liang was responsible for firing cement. Although there was some inventory at present, it was obviously not enough to build such a huge pass. Qian Xiaoxing asked him to speed up production, and there was not enough manpower to get it from Si Wang.

Huang Wenqiang was responsible for laying wooden tracks, from Panlong Pass to Longzhan City, and then from Longzhan City to Cangqiu Valley, about forty miles to prepare the materials. When the Hu army in Longzhan City was eliminated, the two-way wooden tracks must be laid immediately to transport the materials for building the pass. The manpower needed will also be collected from Si Wang.

The remaining manpower mines rocks, which are managed by Si Wang himself, and Qian Xiaoxing himself is mainly responsible for the construction of bridges. Qian Xiaoxing does not know how to build bridges, but he has also seen too many modern bridges made of cement, so he still knows the basic principles.

The bridge built by Qian Xiaoxing does not need to be shipped, so it is very simple. Use cement to build the prefabricated parts and then build and lay the piers. In order to strengthen the compression resistance of the prefabricated parts, Qian Xiaoxing had to put a lot of copper bars in the prefabricated parts. Fortunately, a large number of Hu soldiers were eliminated some time ago, and their weapons were confiscated and returned to the furnace to meet Qian Xiaoxing's demand for copper bars.

When Lu Shengzhong saw the busy Qian Xiaoxing, he asked, "Seventh brother, you are all so busy, but I am very free. You can arrange something and I will do it."

Qian Xiaoxing smiled and said, "Brother Zhong, your task is to train soldiers. We have to take the initiative to attack Po Long Zhan City. The quality of soldiers is very important."
