Chapter 255: The enemy advances and I retreat

The golden sun covered the yellow meadows, and the early morning frost signaled that another winter was coming. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Guduo and Kuha traveled day and night, and two days later, they saw the Scarlet Wolf Banner, which was the bronze tent of the banner's head Chagatai.

In the Golden Horde system, only the khans could live in the Golden Horde, the Taiji lived in the Silver Horde, and the banner heads of the tribes could only live in the Copper Horde, and the status of the Golden Horde could be distinguished according to the color of the account room.

Looking at the blood-colored wolf rider in the camp, Kuha whipped his horse and quickly headed towards the bronze tent of Chagatai.

"Bannerman, please avenge me."

Entering the bronze tent, Kuha saw the chagatai sitting in a precarious position, and immediately knelt down and cried.

At this time, Gu Duo also walked in, he glanced at the people in the room, these were the banner leaders of each tribe, and he said: "Lord Banner Leader, the tribes of Keqing and Kuha have all been slaughtered. ”

Chagatai's eyes were gloomy, and he said, "The two of them also said that they encountered the army of the Great Yu Kingdom, and the tribe suffered heavy losses. ”

"Is it really the army of the Great Yu Kingdom?" Guduo's expression was gloomy.

"They wear silver full-body armor, you can't be wrong." A banner commander said: "They took advantage of our trip to Cangzhou City to suddenly attack our tribe, the people in the tribe could not resist at all, and they killed people regardless of men, women and children, and burned the tribe when they killed them, and they did not spare our cattle, sheep and horses." ”

Chagatai slapped the table angrily, and he said, "Why didn't you find them in advance?" We prairie people have eagle-like eyes, why don't we even have the strength to fight back now. ”

The three banner commanders lowered their heads, "We didn't expect that the army of the Great Yu Kingdom would enter the grassland, so we didn't send scouts to patrol outside the tribe. ”

"Hmph, you are too light on the enemy, now you immediately notify all the tribes, send scouts to patrol the grassland day and night, and be sure to find out the cavalry of the Great Yu Kingdom for me." Chagatai said angrily.

Kuha's heart was full of hatred at this time, and he said: "Bannerman, please give me another two thousand elite soldiers, and I will definitely come back to see Bannerleader with their heads!" ”

Chagatai nodded and said, "You and Gu Duo go to the south to inspect, you two go to the east, you two go to the west, we must find them, these untouchables of the Great Yu Kingdom dare to kill the noble people of our Golden Horde, we must make them pay." ”

"I'll eat their meat." Kuha looked mad.

Chagatai stood up at this moment, and immediately caused the guards in front of him to blow their horns, and the rumbling of horses' hooves was immediately heard in the camp.

Ten thousand blood wolf cavalry assembled on the steppe.

After Chagatai allocated 2,000 men to Kuha, he assigned some soldiers to the other banner commanders, and he himself marched towards the vast steppe with 5,000 men.

At this time, they could no longer take care of Cangzhou City, because the cavalry of the Great Yu State that penetrated deep into the grassland made it difficult for them to sleep, so they had to send a large number of cavalry to search and hunt on the grassland.

But even so, the search for the army of the Great Yu State in the vast grassland was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and at the same time, this abnormal movement was quickly discovered by Lu Fei and Niu Ben.

Somewhere in the steppe, Thunder returned with the cavalry who had gone out to explore the way.

After getting off the horse, Lei Ming put away the binoculars and said to Lu Fei, who was repairing in front of a river: "Captain, there are more and more scouts patrolling the barbarians, and if we continue like this, we estimate that we will soon be discovered." ”

At this time, another group of cavalry who were exploring the way came back and said, "Captain, we have found two thousand barbarians coming this way due north. ”

It has been more than half a month since they set out from Cangzhou City, and their pair of men and horses have been sleeping in the open air, which is very hard, and at the same time, although the process of each attack has a great advantage, there are still soldiers injured.

Dozens of people have already been wounded, which seriously slows down the march.

In the past half a month, Lu Fei and his party have attacked three tribes one after another, and now as these tribes have strengthened their vigilance, it is difficult for them to find another opportunity.

"Now immediately withdraw to Cangzhou City." Lu Fei groaned and said.

They had a strict plan for entering the grassland this time, and when they set off, Xiao Ming said that once the barbarians began to round them up, they would immediately retreat.

After all, their purpose this time was to attack and harass and buy time for the construction of the city walls of Cangzhou City, and they couldn't fall in love with the war.

"Go back now?" Lei Ming was a little unwilling.

Lu Fei nodded, and his tone was firm, "Your Highness's order can't be disobeyed, have you forgotten what Your Highness said?" The enemy advances, I retreat, go! ”

With that, Lu Fei got on his horse and led the soldiers to drive the stolen horses towards Cangzhou City.

At the same time, Niu Ben also chose to retreat to Cangzhou City, and in his experience, continuing to go deep alone would only be surrounded and annihilated.

Now they all rely on the advantage of binoculars to avoid the barbarians, and if they are bitten by the barbarian cavalry, they will not be able to escape at all.

After all, the barbarians' horse skills are much stronger than these cavalrymen who have only been trained for more than a year.

Cangzhou City.

It has been more than ten days since the last barbarian cavalry harassed them, and at present, the new city wall outside the city is being poured with concrete foundations.

At this time, tens of thousands of slaves were busy in an area of 500 meters, and they were constantly transporting stones, sand, cement, water and other materials from inside the city to outside the city.

The craftsmen waiting outside took shovels and mixed these materials according to the ratio of 1:0.43:1.25:2.91, which was the C30 strength concrete of later generations, and the construction of high-strength walls would basically use this strength of concrete.

After mixing, the slaves pushed wheelbarrows to transport the concrete down the slope to the bottom of the foundation, and then used shovels to pour the concrete into the already supported wooden formwork.

In these wooden formwork are ground beams tied up with steel bars, each of which has a thickness of one meter, and there are seven or eight vertical and horizontal ground beams in the entire foundation.

Because the ground beams are strong enough so that the future city wall will not sink and tilt.

This city wall is the key point to resist the barbarians in the future, Xiao Ming doesn't want to make a tofu scum project at such a critical moment, so the design of this city wall must be rigorous.

Supervising the pouring situation on the foundation, Xiao Ming was a little more steady, the foundation was poured, once the concrete was solidified, the barbarians could no longer destroy it, and the concrete solidified time was very fast, basically the wooden formwork could be dismantled in a week.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect that this building is also a science, but the officials have learned a lot in the past two days." Zhan Xingchang said excitedly.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Of course, otherwise this king will not come in person, if you come, this city wall will definitely be finished, and these craftsmen have only built brick and concrete structures before, and have never had experience in concrete construction, this time this king came to train these craftsmen, and these craftsmen will be the exclusive construction camp of Qingzhou in the future."

"Construction battalion?" Zhan Xingchang smiled: "That's a good name. ”
