This vigorous siege ended with both sides suffering huge losses.
And for the first time in my life, I killed someone with my own hands, and I still killed several people!
For Xiao Han, who had not even killed a few chickens, this was tantamount to a huge torture.
Even though Xiao Han knew very well that in this world, killing someone would happen sooner or later.
But he still had nightmares about it for two days!
The sky was slightly bright, and Xiao Han, who was a little depressed, carried the teapot and feebly came to the threshold to brush his teeth.
In this age without dentists.
Xiao Han takes great care of his teeth, brushing them twice a day and almost never stops!
After all, he doesn't want to wait until all his teeth fall out and cry silently looking at the delicious bones...
Not having a toothbrush is troublesome. If Xiao Han remembers correctly, the earliest toothbrush in the world did not appear until after the material-rich Song Dynasty.
When he was in Sanyuan County before, Xiao Han never thought about making a toothbrush.
But this seemingly simple thing is actually very troublesome to make!
The toothbrush handle is easy to handle, whether it is wood or bone, just drill a few small holes in it and you can use it.
The real trouble is those bristles.
The hair of the horse's tail is too soft and will be soft when wet, so it will not have any effect.
And the wolf's mane is so hard that once you brush your teeth, your tongue will be pricked into a colander...
As for the pig hair, it is moderately soft and hard, but Xiao Han has only used it once! Later, he silently picked up his wicker branches...
It’s so disgusting!
Using that thing to brush his teeth, Xiao Han always felt like he was riding on a pig and gnawing raw...
I don’t know which ancestor passed down Liuzhitiaozi for brushing teeth. It is not only simple to use, but also convenient and quick.
First bite a willow branch as thick as a chopstick until it becomes soft and fluffy, and then dip it in your mouth with a little green salt.
By the time I have touched half a cup of tea, my teeth have been brushed.
It may seem a little strange, but let’s not forget that this method of brushing teeth that has been passed down for thousands of years is really clean!
There's just one bad thing: every time I brush my teeth, I feel like my tongue is numb, and my mouth is even more bitter and salty. I can't suppress the taste even if I don't have a large bowl of water.
"Master Hou! The newly built cement kiln produced one or two thousand kilograms of cement last night. The quality is already good. The manager of Chai University thinks that we can build the new city wall as soon as possible!"
After poking his back molars, Xiao Han took a mouthful of water and was about to raise his head to spread the flowers like a goddess! Suddenly a head suddenly appeared in front of me! He was so frightened that he trembled on the spot. As soon as his throat opened, he swallowed most of the water to rinse his mouth on the spot.
"Cough cough cough... bah, bah bah!"
"Huh? Master Hou, what are you eating? Why do you keep coughing?"
The idiot standing in front of Xiao Han scratched his head and asked with a pair of innocent eyes.
Xiao Han was choking with snot and tears almost coming out. He reluctantly raised his arm and pointed: "Get out!"
The fool who had realized something was wrong ran away instantly...
He was stunned, not stupid! Besides, even a fool knows that if he stays here any longer, he will definitely not end well.
The fool ran away in a flash, leaving behind Xiao Han who was coughing heartbreakingly.
It took a long time to hold the door open!
I didn’t vomit much of the mouthwash I swallowed in my stomach! Xiao Han now regrets why he let the idiot go! Even if you give me a beating to vent your anger...
Now, the person has run away without a trace!
With no other choice, Xiao Han had to cough and walk to the cement kiln.
The cement kiln in Luokou City was newly built at the site of the last war, so that the cement for building the city wall could be supplied nearby.
After the last siege, Xiao Han was completely disappointed with the low wall of Luokou City!
Taking advantage of the lull in the war, he and Chai Shao discussed and decided to completely tear down these dilapidated city walls and rebuild them.
This will also save the next time Li Shimin goes out, someone will raid his home again.
We didn't plan to build Luokou into the perverted state of Luoyang, so the amount of work this time was not too large, but it took a long time to wait for the cement.
The new city wall of Luokou City completely abandoned its original straight appearance this time. Instead, it was built into a concave arc shape, with both ends stuck right in the middle of two mountain passes, a bit like a later river dam.
Xiao Lizi likes this kind of city wall design very much. He treasures the original design drawing like a treasure. He plans to use this curved design for all buildings with similar terrain in the future.
After all, he is a battlefield veteran for many years. With his eyesight, he can naturally see how helpful this design is in defending the city!
As long as the enemy wants to attack through the city gate, he must withstand more attacks than ordinary city walls. The arc-shaped city wall virtually increases the attack range.
If combined with the high walls made of cement, there will be enough arrows for rolling stones and wood on the city head.
The enemy can only look forward to this small city and sigh.
Wandering to the cement kiln, Xiao Han saw that although it was early in the morning, the place was already in full swing.
In the past, the walls built in Wagang Village were fixed with yellow mud, not even glutinous rice juice, so the walls were so low.
Because of this construction method, if it is really built high, it is unlikely that it will collapse on its own.
However, there is no such problem now.
Building a city wall three feet high is a piece of cake for cement.
The stones removed from the old city wall were carried to the new city wall by two people, smeared with live cement, and stacked layer by layer. In the blink of an eye, the new city wall was stacked as high as one person.
"After all, there is strength in numbers!" Looking at the busy construction site, Xiao Han deeply realized this truth.
Building a city wall is a bit troublesome, but we have plenty of people who can't stand it!
This time, almost everyone in the city participated in building the city wall, except for those seriously injured patients.
Even those who walk on crutches can use the crutch to squeeze the cement twice, so they can eat with peace of mind.
Just when Luokou City was in full swing.
In the Imperial City of Luoyang, Shan Xiongxin stood alone in the middle of the court, enduring the impeachments coming from all directions.
The attack on Luokou City failed.
Although Wang Shichong was a little disappointed, he did not criticize Shan Xiongxin, the only capable general under his command.
After all, Luokou City was not lost once or twice. He firmly believed that as long as Luoyang could be defended, Luokou City would still be theirs sooner or later.
However, Wang Shichong thought this way, but others under him did not think so.
They only saw tens of thousands of troops go out. Not only did they not see any results, they came back with less than half of them left!
Why is such a useless general still here?
So, in today’s court meeting.
Almost half of the ministers stood up and rushed to impeach Shan Xiongxin for his incompetent battle and loss of power and humiliation of the country.
But facing the accusations from thousands of people, Shan Xiongxin didn't even have a word to defend himself.
He was a naturally aloof person and never bothered to find reasons for his failures, but his silence undoubtedly irritated the ministers who criticized him even more.
