Chen Ying saw this freshly built snow climbing plow, and was instantly fascinated. The sleigh made of willow wood was polished as smooth as a mirror, and the most strange thing for Chen Ying was that the entire snow climbing plow did not use a single nail.

"When the nail is shaking, it will slowly fall off, and it is different with a tenon. The tenon is aligned and riveted and then soaked in water. The wood is stronger than the nails when it rises. ”

Lin Chuanfu looked at Chen Ying and explained with a smile: "This snow boat invented by General Chen is very clever, but it can be used to load goods and carry people. As long as you put up a warm shed, put a brazier, and a foot stove, even if it is three feet freezing, you can't feel the cold inside. ”

"Yes, yes, very good!" Chen Ying nodded and said: "Our kind of snow boat will build at least 800 at a time, half of which will be built into a manned warm shed, and half will be built into an empty frame for carrying goods!" ”

Chen Ying already knew at this time that Li Jiancheng did not let Chen Ying lead the Xun Er Mansion to Lingzhou, but was ready to promote him to the loyal general (Wu Sanguan) of the fourth grade, and led the Wei General with the right of the East Palace, commanding the Xun First Mansion, the Xun Second Mansion, the Yi First Mansion, and the Yi Second Mansion, a total of 4,800 people from the 16th Regiment of the 4 Prefectures to support Lingzhou.

It is said that Chen Ying's age is too young, and Li Yuan will not lead the troops with Chen Ying. However, I don't know whether Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was prepared to see Chen Ying's jokes, or whether he gave Li Jiancheng a chance to use people inappropriately, so he didn't object. And the ministers of the court and the central government, who have always looked at the crown prince and the horse, actually seconded the proposal.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng successfully passed Li Yuan, and appointed Chen Ying as a loyal general and the right leader of the crown prince through Menxia Province. Li Jiancheng approved Chen Ying's blades, armor, and grain for four mansions, not one of the second mansions. Four prefectures and 16 regiments, with more than 4,800 soldiers, could only build as many snow plows as possible in order to avoid non-combat attrition in the middle.

Leather sheds are installed on the snow plows, like horse-drawn carriages, which can hide from the cold, which can not only save the physical strength of the soldiers, but also reduce non-combat attrition.

Chen Ying is a person who stands on the shoulders of historical giants, and as Lin Chuanfu opened Chen Ying's thoughts, his thoughts instantly became active. Horse-drawn carts can carry snow plows, but bed crossbows can't be carried on snow plows?

Built into a snow climbing plow crossbow locomotive?

What about trebuchets?

What about the off-the-box chariot?

Is it possible to build a huge command vehicle as well?

Side-of-the-box chariots?

The chariot is the chariot invented by Sun Chengzong, a famous general in the Ming Dynasty, and he took the advantages of absorbing Qi Jiguang's chariot array, and won the strengths of all families, forming a complete set of chariot warfare, so that the Manchu cavalry who came and went like the wind sighed. The Turkic cavalry came and went like the wind, and this partial snow plow, as long as it was surrounded by the end of the end, could form a mobile shield wall, no matter how many cavalry, looking at this kind of shield wall, had to sigh.

In the next three days, Chen Ying ate and lived in the garrison camp of Xun Erfu, and discussed with Lin Chuanfu and others to create more functional snow plows.

It can load four cauldrons side by side, and can make a cooking plow for 12 people at a time.

Thirty-three feet long and six feet wide, carrying the herald of the eight-sided marching war drums, the herald climbing plow.

A lookout plow with three stacks of ladders.

An RV that allows twelve soldiers to lie down on the plow at the same time to rest.

What made Lin Chuanfu speechless the most was that Chen Ying actually built a Chinese army command climbing plow.

This Chinese army command climbing plough is Chen Ying's invention inspired by Cao Cao's chain of boats during the Battle of Chibi, he built four 28 feet long, about 1 zhang 2 feet wide RV climbing plow, in the wide terrain, you can put four climbing plows together to form a 56 feet long, 24 feet wide huge RV climbing plow, this huge climbing plow has an area of nearly 400 square meters, enough for Chen Ying to convene the 16th Regiment and 48th Brigade of the Four Prefectures in the car will be a total of more than 100 leaders to hold a combat deployment meeting.

More than 200 craftsmen spent three days to build more than 100 snow plows, but it was far from the number of snow plows that Chen Ying needed. However, Chen Ying stayed up all night, stayed up all night, his eyes were red like rabbits, Wei Wenzhong persuaded Chen Ying hard, and Chen Ying had to return home to rest.

Chen Ying didn't even take a bath, he just put his clothes on the bed, and just slept for only half an hour, Chen Qi, the regular attendant of the Ganlu Palace, led more than 100 people to arrive at Chen Ying's mansion with a trumpet flag.

The lieutenant official announced the decree, Chen Ying did not dare to slack off, so he had to come out with red eyes to accept the decree.

When Chen Qi saw Chen Ying, he approached Chen Ying and whispered: "This family, quit sex at a young age!" ”

"Hold the grass!" Chen Ying wanted to explain that he was not at all what Chen Qi imagined, but Chen Qi waved his hand and said, "This is the central purpose, no need to kneel!" ”

Chen Ying also hated kneeling at every turn, bowing solemnly.

Chen Qi coughed, cleared his throat and said: "The Tang Emperor said, I only rule the world with literature, and fight chaos with force." And the military commander will be the pillar of the imperial court and the dry city of the country. It is able to be both civil and military, and to make efforts to repay the service, but it can be praised for its achievements and not praised for its favor. General Er Ningyuan and Chen Ying, the commander of Zhichong, burned his salary, broke through the scriptures, and was awarded the rank of Earl. I don't want to visit the border affairs, the Liang thief disturbs my Lingzhou, and I am quite pastoral. Zite awarded Er as a loyal general, the prince right led the general of Wei, Xi Zhi ordered in the play, Wei Zhenyidi. Deeply attached to the Yuan Rong's Jun Lie Xuan Huaxia, with the Zhao Lu cloth of the pi smoked, temporarily tin Wu Ben, plus Pi Ji, admirable. November 20 of the first year of Wude. ”

Chen Ying's current knowledge of ancient Chinese is somewhat better, especially for the application of Kumon. Although Li Jiancheng had already breathed his breath, Chen Ying was still very excited when he heard the holy decree.

There will be more than 670 generals in the Tang Dynasty and they belong to middle-level officers, but the right general Wei Zhongwu is different, and the right general Wei Zhongwu is the fourth rank official. In terms of authority, General Zhongwu is equivalent to General Twelve Guards. At that time, the 12 guards were equivalent to the 12 major military regions in the country, as deputies. Chen Ying's military rank at this time should be higher than that of lieutenant general or major general.

There is a way that the ass decides the head, and now Chen Ying is not only thinking about himself, but whether Lingzhou can be kept this time. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Chen Ying is now starting to make frantic preparations, without cotton, he can only process enough down jackets as soon as possible, otherwise it is impossible to avoid large-scale non-combat attrition just by having a greenhouse sled.

The Chen Mansion vigorously purchased duck feathers, but Chen Ying found that the duck feathers on the market were gone, let alone buying them cheaply, even if they were bought at a high price, they couldn't be bought. Getting this news, Chen Ying was in a hurry.

"What's going on?"

Chen Ying looked at Ryazan and asked.

Ryazan bowed down and said: "It is said that the duvet is sold for a hundred times for a single bed, and now all the families in the city are buying duck feathers at a high price." ”

Chen Ying frowned and said, "Who is buying duck feathers?" ”

"Jingzhao Wei's, Wenxi Pei's, and Jingzhaoyuan's are all buying!" Ryazan said: "Even Su Hu, the commander of Wannian County, quietly asked his family to buy duck feathers and hoard them!" ”

"Good buy!" Chen Ying really hasn't forgotten Su Hu's festival and the humiliation suffered by Lan'er, in fact, Li Xiaoguang is just a hand, and the hand holding the knife is actually the county order of Wannian County.

Knowing that Su Hu was actually secretly buying duck feathers, a huge plan slowly formed in Chen Ying's head.
