"How did Da Lang know that the official carriage and horse had arrived?" In addition to the box cars coming in and out of the city gate, there was also a row of people standing, and it was the oily-headed Jiang Dalang who was in the middle. Although he has changed into a special forces combat uniform, he is not a good person no matter how he looks at that face.

"It's all up to Lord Shuaisi's telescope, but unfortunately the number is a little small, can you ......" Jiang Dalang pointed to the city gate tower, and then pointed to a mountain in the distance, and finally stopped his finger on the telescope hanging on Hong Tao's chest.

"No, don't even think about it, I went to Zhu Jian Si to discuss these things, shouldn't this official have a telescope as the commander-in-chief?" Hong Tao turned his head back and forth, and roughly understood the way Jiang Dalang transmitted the message.

Stupid to say, he dug caves into the nearby hills as permanent observation posts, complete with binoculars and flags. Whoever discovers the anomaly will wave the flag and teleport to the next station, and in this way, it will be transmitted to the castle tower one by one. In fact, this method has been used by the ancients, but there are no telescopes, and the density of sentinels must be very large.

"Nature should, nature should...... What is the use of adults bringing these sleds? Jiang Dalang saw that Hong Tao was not fooled and quickly changed the topic, so as not to be retaliated against. This adult has a very small heart, and he doesn't have the style of a gentleman, and the revenge is called a fast, ten years? I can't wait for ten minutes.

"Sledding? This is a snowboard, a new invention of the officer. But it's not for you, so let's talk about it when they've had enough. The sled that Jiang Dalang said was tied to the roof of the car, and it looked much thinner than the sled board used for the box car.

Since he brought Lian'er and Chen Niang to Mawei City, Hong Tao had to find something to do for them. It is said to be a city, but in fact it is a military fortress, and there is nothing suitable for civilians to play except for the army and military facilities.

Hong Tao himself will definitely not be idle, there are so many things that he needs to worry about that he can't finish it, but Lian'er and Chenniang may not have the patience. In order to prevent them from pestering themselves all day long, Hong Tao had to continue to create inventions, what is the most suitable thing to play in the snowy mountain environment?

That's right, skiing. Snowboards Hong Tao has never made by himself, but he has cut water skis himself, and the meaning is similar. With the help of Peng Da, a great carpenter who strives for excellence, he quickly made a pair of test items.

Hong Tao personally went to the slopes near Huangzhou City to try it, and felt that it was really no different from the skis of later generations, except that they were heavier, and they were almost imperceptible when they skied. On the one hand, Peng Da's skills are good, and on the other hand, he is not very familiar with skiing, at best, he can ski, and no more can be talked about.

The sport has been popular all over the world in later generations, and naturally it has its attractive side, but the most important thing is its simplicity. Putting on a pair of long wooden boards and holding two ski poles with umbrella-shaped tips will allow you to ski down the slopes at high speed with more practice. In Lian'er's words, it feels like she can fly.

So, not only Lian'er must have a pair, but Ziju, Zhou Zhou, Chenniang, and the children of the children's group must each have a pair. This made Peng Da very angry, claiming that there was still a lot of work to do, and he didn't have the time to make these children's toys.

But in the end, he still found two apprentices to continue making skis, not to pat the horse's ass, but to say that this thing is not only a child's toy, but also a sharp weapon for marching and fighting. When the old man saw the children of the children's group sliding down the mountain on skis, he immediately had no complaints.

In fact, he was deceived by the colt again, and skis can indeed be used as a tool for marching and fighting, but they are not suitable everywhere. The best place to use it is in the mountainous and hilly areas of the middle and low altitudes, and there is no place for skis in the snow-capped mountains of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Because the height difference between the mountains here is too large, you can of course slide down the downhill with skis effortlessly, but when you encounter the uphill slope, you can get tired, and it is a technical task to walk and climb the slope in skis, and it takes a long time to master it.

So, this thing can only be a child's toy, at most, let the special forces train and train when they are fine, and it can be regarded as mastering one more skill, and it will be able to use it immediately when it encounters the right terrain in the future.

But there is another vehicle that is really suitable for special forces, and it is a real sled. The box cart remodeled by Jiang Erlang and Peng Da is not strictly a sled, and the purpose is not to travel long distances, but mainly to solve the logistics supply of Mawei City.

Hong Tao was certainly not satisfied, and when he returned to Huangzhou City, he designed and built another kind of sleigh himself, which was almost indistinguishable from the Inuit sled he had seen in Alaska.

And it is also driven by dogs, for this purpose, Xi Luosa specially went to find ten identical dogs, and after preliminary training, there are still six more obedient ones left, which are used as the first batch of sled dogs.

"Second, this thing is really good, and the dog is better to feed than the horse, and it is more resistant to the cold, and it can be used as a hunting dog when necessary. Next time you go out and bring dozens of dogs to pull the sleigh, it will be much easier. ”

Hong Tao basically didn't stay in the city much, and there was nothing to see, so after putting down his luggage, he took Lian'er and Chenniang to run and play on the western hillside in a dog sled.

The Jiang brothers stood on the city wall and looked at the small black dot that could run on the snow in the distance, and were once again defeated by the imagination of the leader. This feeling is very bad, every time they feel as if they are already very powerful, the leader will take out a delicate and practical thing and slap their faces, making them always feel that they are a child who doesn't understand anything, and can only follow the leader's ass in the same way.

"I'm afraid it's too late next time, Lord Shuaiji is probably not only here to play with Mrs. Lian this time, but Xia Ren will be unlucky again."

Few people know about the plan to ambush the Western Xia reinforcements, and Jiang Erlang is certainly one of them. But he can't make it clear to his brother that this is the first discipline in the special forces, and whoever violates it is unlucky.

"Erlang, you're not the same as before. In the past, you would come and drink with your eldest brother before every expedition, and if you couldn't say a few words, you would leave after drinking. Big brother can see that you don't really want to go. In the past few days, in addition to training, you have to sort out your equipment, like you wish you could go earlier, do you really have the power of the horse? ”

Jiang Dalang was also a soldier, knew what to ask and what not to ask, and did not dwell on the question of why he went on the expedition, but chatted with his younger brother about personal problems.

"Shh......h You forgot that the shopkeeper once told you not to call adults a colt in person, and to shout less behind your back, once you are heard by adults, you will be unlucky. ”

Jiang Erlang was indeed a character who was not afraid of heaven and earth, he had seen too many lives and deaths and was numb, and sometimes he even felt that it was more comfortable to die than to live.

But since he came into contact with the colt, he has actually been afraid, and the feeling of not being able to live and die is not afraid or successful, and this adult seems to be the best at this, and he really can't afford to provoke it.

"If I say that adults can call the wind and rain, Da Lang is credible?" Jiang Erlang couldn't answer his brother's question. Because this adult cannot be analyzed with common sense, he cannot be said to be a god, but he is definitely not a mortal either.

“…… Could it be that this Mawei City is an adult, he ......" Jiang Dalang seems to have heard rumors, special forces can't leak secrets casually, but there is no such rule for the soldiers who come here to build the city, they are the first troops to arrive in Mawei City, and naturally they have seen a lot of details that do not conform to common sense.

For example, most of the tents of the Western Xia army were intact, and the personal belongings inside were also placed normally, not at all like a rush to face the battle, but more like going out hunting for a long time and not returning.

As for the city, it is even more strange, hundreds or thousands of sets of city construction tools are neatly placed in place, as if someone was still using it a second ago.

Although they could not see the battle report, they could roughly estimate how many craftsmen worked here based on their years of experience in building the city.

Thousands of people are just gone? I can't see the slightest trace of blood or corpses, and whoever I say will believe it. The only explanation is the gods and ghosts, and it happens that Lord Shuai Si has the legend of the Seven Stars on him, so don't look for anyone else, and then him.

"The younger brother can't say it clearly, but what the eldest brother thinks is not far from it. Is it reasonable for the younger brother to be unhappy to follow such an adult to fight? Originally, I thought that a hornet's nest and a swarm of bees were invincible weapons, but it was wrong, adults were invincible killers. Whoever confronts him, even if he escapes, will have to live for ten years! ”
