772nd Hero's End
This vigorous siege battle ended with huge losses on both sides.
And the first time in his life that he killed people with his own hands, he still killed several people!
This is tantamount to a huge torture for Xiao Han, who didn't even kill a few chickens.
Even if Xiao Han knew very well in his heart that living in this world, killing people would be sooner or later.
But he still had nightmares for two days!
The sky was slightly bright, and Xiao Han, who was a little sluggish, carried the tea jar and came to the threshold to brush his teeth weakly.
In this age when there are no dentists.
Xiao Han cherishes his teeth very much, brushing his teeth twice a day almost non-stop!
After all, he didn't want to wait for his teeth to fall out and cry silently while looking at the delicious bones......
It is more troublesome to have no toothbrush, if Xiao Han is not mistaken, the world's earliest toothbrush, how can it not appear until after the material-rich Song Dynasty.
In the previous time in Sanyuan County, Xiao Han didn't think about making a toothbrush.
But this seemingly simple little thing is really troublesome to do!
The handle of the toothbrush is easy to use, whether it is wood or bone, and it can be used by drilling a few small holes in it.
The real trouble is those bristles.
If the horse's tail hair is too soft, and it is soft and soft in water, it will not have much effect.
And the wolf's mane is too hard, and once you brush your teeth, your tongue is about to be pierced into a colander......
As for pig hair, this is moderately soft and hard, but Xiao Han has only used it once! Later, he silently picked up his wicker branches......
It's disgusting!
Brushing his teeth with that thing, Xiao Han always felt like he was riding on a pig and gnawing it raw......
I don't know which ancestor passed down the willow branch to brush my teeth, not only is it simple, but also convenient and fast.
First, bite the willow branches the thickness of chopsticks and fluff them, and then poke them in your mouth with a little green salt.
It wasn't until about half a cup of tea was touched that my teeth were brushed.
It may seem strange, but not to mention, this method of brushing your teeth that has been around for thousands of years is really clean!
It's just that there is one bad thing: that is, every time I brush my teeth, I feel like my tongue is numb, and my mouth is even more bitter and salty.
"Master Hou! The newly built cement kiln produced one or two thousand catties of cement last night, and the quality is already good. ”
After poking the back molars, Xiao Han took a big mouthful of water, and was about to raise his head to scatter flowers for a goddess! A head suddenly popped up in front of you! was so frightened that he shivered on the spot, his throat and eyes opened, and he swallowed most of the water on the spot.
"Ahem, ahem...... Phew, Bah! ”
"Huh? Master Hou, what are you eating here? Why do you cough? ”
The stunned man standing in front of Xiao Han scratched his head and asked with a pair of very innocent eyes.
Xiao Han's snot and tears were about to come out, and he barely raised his arm and pointed: "Get out!" ”
The stunned man who had already realized that it was not good instantly fell into the wilderness and fled......
He is stunned, not stupid! Besides, a fool knows that if he stays any longer, he will definitely not end well.
The stunned man ran away, leaving Xiao Han who coughed in the back.
It took a long time to open the door!
I swallowed the mouthwash in my stomach and didn't vomit much in the end! Xiao Han now regrets why he let the stunned man go! Even if you take a beating, it's good to get angry......
Now, people have run away without a trace!
There was no way, Xiao Han had to cough and walk towards the cement kiln.
The cement kiln in Luokou Castle was newly built, built on the site of the last great war, so that it could supply the cement for the construction of the city wall nearby.
After the last siege battle, Xiao Han was completely desperate for the low city wall of Luokou City!
Taking advantage of the fact that the war has stopped now, after discussing with Chai Shao, he decided to completely tear down these dilapidated city walls and rebuild them.
In this way, the next time Li Shimin goes out, his home will be raided again.
I didn't plan to build Luokou to the point of being like Luoyang, so the amount of work this time was not too big, but it took a long time to wait for cement.
This time, the new city wall of Luokou Castle completely abandoned the original straight appearance, but was built into a concave arc, and the two ends were stuck in the middle of the two mountain passes, a bit like the barrage dam of later generations.
Xiao Lizi likes this kind of city wall design very much, and treasures it as a treasure with that original design drawing, and plans to use this arc design if there is almost any terrain in the future.
After all, he is a veteran of the battlefield for many years, and with his eyesight, he can naturally see how helpful this design is for defending the city!
As long as the enemy wants to attack through the city gate, he must withstand more attacks than the ordinary city wall, and the arc-shaped city wall invisibly increases the range of attack.
If it is combined with the high walls built of cement, there are plenty of rolling stones and arrows on the head of the city.
The enemy can only sigh at this small city.
Wandering to the cement kiln, Xiao Han saw that although it was early in the morning, it was already in full swing.
In the past, the city walls built by Wagangzhai were fixed with yellow mud, and even glutinous rice juice was useless, so the city walls were so low.
Because of this way of building, it is really high, and it is impossible to say that it will collapse by itself.
Now, though, there's no such problem.
Building a three-zhang high city wall is tantamount to a piece of cake for cement.
The stones removed from the old city wall were carried by two people to the new city wall, plastered with living cement, and stacked layer by layer, and in the blink of an eye, the new city wall was stacked more than one person high.
"In the end, there are many people and there is great power!" Looking at the hot construction site, Xiao Han deeply realized this truth.
It's a bit troublesome to build a city wall, but it's people who can't stand it!
This time the city wall was built, and almost all the people in the city participated in it, except for those who were seriously injured.
Even those who walk on crutches can use crutches to work twice on cement, so that they can eat peacefully when eating.
Just when Luokou City was in full swing.
In the imperial city of Luoyang, Shan Xiongxin stood alone in the middle of the court, bearing the impeachment that poured in from all directions.
The attack on Luokou Castle was in vain.
Although Wang Shichong was a little disappointed, he did not criticize Shan Xiongxin, the only general who can handle it now.
After all, Luokou City was not lost once or twice, and he firmly believed that as long as Luoyang could be defended, Luokou City would still be theirs sooner or later.
However, Wang Shichong thought so, but the rest of his staff did not.
They only saw tens of thousands of troops go out, not only did they not see any results, but when they came back, less than half of them were left!
What are you doing here with such a wasteful general?
So, at today's court meeting.
Almost half of the ministers came forward and vied with each other to impeach Shan Xiongxin for failing to fight and losing power and humiliating the country.
In the face of Qianfu's accusations, Shan Xiongxin didn't even have words to defend himself.
He was a man of natural arrogance, who never bothered to justify his failures, but his silence undoubtedly irritated the ministers who accused him even more.
