Chapter 791 Preparing to Build a City

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Looking at the detailed power distribution map in front of him, Li Guang finally felt confident that the Shenwu Army was trained by him, and he had a general understanding of the Shenwu Army's combat power.

    What he was worried about was that the terrain was unfamiliar, or that he might be ambushed by the Huns. Now that he had this map, he could make targeted defensive arrangements.

    The brigade continued to move forward, and finally arrived at the place Zhou Wenjie mentioned before sunset. They had already dug several large holes on the ground.

    You can clearly see the white limestone at the bottom of the pit.

    The distance between several mine pits is about hundreds of meters. It seems that the reserves here alone should be enough for them to use.

    "Ziyun, I leave all the city building matters to you. Time is tight. You will take the time to study it later. Then everyone has a night's rest and starts construction early tomorrow morning!"

    After all, this is within the territory of the Xiongnu, and even Liu Deng does not dare to take it lightly. The sooner the city is built, the sooner they can all rest assured.

    "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will live up to my trust!"

    Experts naturally have the dignity of experts. Since the advent of cement, Wang Ziyun has been one of the first practitioners.

    After the training of the academy construction, he has gathered a group of people who are good at using cement under his command. It only takes one month to build four walls, which is not impossible for him.

    "Okay! If this can be accomplished, you should be the first to take credit!"

    No matter how much Liu Deng blew cement into the sky, many people throughout the Han Dynasty still refused to accept it. I really don¡¯t blame them for this, it¡¯s just because this is an era of limited information.

    Nearly everyone only believes what they see. As for the exaggerated construction speed of Liu Deng's academy, everyone thinks it is just a rumor.

    What better means of publicity can there be than building a small town with a radius of five miles in one month.

    As long as this city can be built, I believe that the entire Han Dynasty will soon be able to take over this new thing of cement.

    When Liu Deng gave the formula to the imperial court, he had already stated that the cement used by the imperial court to build cities and roads could be digested and resolved by itself.

    But for all civilian products, priority must be given to purchasing products produced by merchants on behalf of the country.

    This is a great benefit that Liu Deng has won for Daiguo businessmen. With this benefit, the cement industry alone can solve the employment problem of thousands of people.

    After all, in this day and age, mechanization is really difficult to achieve.

    A seemingly primitive industrial chain will benefit a large number of people.

    Now that it had been decided to start building the city here, Liu Deng began to discuss the location of the city with Wang Ziyun overnight.

    The first thing to determine is the location of the cement kiln. In later generations, cement kilns will definitely be a highly polluting industry, and it is absolutely impossible for them to appear in the city.

    But now, Liu Deng can only choose to keep it in the center of the town.

    Only in this way can the construction of the city be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

    "Your Majesty, do you think you can adjust the structure of the city wall? It's really not easy to build a city wall that's eight feet thick. Even if we build it, I'm afraid it won't be strong enough in a month!  "

    After laying out the construction plans of the city, Wang Ziyun began to express his thoughts.

    "Tell me about it!"

    ¡°After all, he is the expert in this area, and it is always right to listen to the advice of experts.

    "Please see, Your Majesty, it turns out that the city wall we are going to cast is solid and made of cement. If we have enough time, this is naturally the best choice! However, we only have one month now. We will divide the city wall into three parts.  In this part, the thickness of the city wall on both sides of the inner and outer sides is about two feet! The middle is filled with rammed earth. In this way, the speed of building the city will be greatly increased!"

    ¡°After all, this is not within the territory of Dai, and they don¡¯t have that much time. One month is already the limit. If it takes longer, if the Huns army is mobilized, they may all die without a burial place.

    "You are an expert in this area. Since you said there is no problem, then there is no problem. Just do as you say! However, the appearance of this city wall must be made according to my design drawings!"

    For the appearance of this newly built city, Liu Deng referred to the architectural structure of the bastion during World War I.

    Although it has increased the workload of part of the city wall, the benefits are obvious. As long as they complete the construction, five thousand Han people will be released.??Defending the city here, not even 50,000 Huns can get close until their arrows are exhausted.

    The Huns originally lacked siege weapons, and bastions were like a flesh and blood grinder.

    In this day and age, this kind of city is simply invincible.

    "No!"

    Prince Yunye is a great expert in building cities. Of course he can see that this kind of city is beneficial to the army defending the city.

    "General Li, how are the preparations for digging horse pits around the camp going?"

    The Huns are all cavalry. At this time, their 20,000 divine warriors are also holding 30,000 civilians hostage.

    If there is an attack on the camp at night, there may really be a big mess.

    "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the chariots you brought this time are indeed useful. During the time we set up camp, tens of thousands of horse traps have been dug outside!"

    Li Guang felt excited when he talked about this. It is indeed so useful!

    No manpower is needed at all, just driving the carriage and running back and forth in the pre-drawn area around the camp.

    The gear driven by the wheel will turn this forward and backward force into a downward force, and then drive the steel shovel mounted on the vehicle to dig out horse pits on the ground that are as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

    Each one is about a foot deep. If a high-speed horse steps on it, you can imagine what will happen to the knight on the horse.

    "As long as it's easy to use! If it's easy to use, I can ask the weapons supervisor to produce more after I go back this time! It will be a must-have for the Shenwu Army in the future!"

    This thing can be said to be the real cavalry nemesis. In this day and age, no matter which cavalry unit they are, as long as they dare to step into this death zone, they will be a living target of the Shenwu Army.

    With the terrifying shooting speed of the Shenwu Army, coupled with the powerful power of the improved repeating crossbows, and the gunpowder weapons that Liu Deng has just developed, as long as he dares to approach them 150 steps, I am afraid that even a complete corpse will be destroyed.  Hard to stay.

    "The king is right, this thing is much easier to use as a chariot for the Shenwu Army!"

    Li Guang was really excited. After seeing how quickly this thing dug into a horse pit, Li Guang's mind immediately began to show countless tactics related to it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
