If you are afraid that the grain road will be attacked, then strengthen the defense of the grain road.
Wu Nian's strategy is actually very simple, like a highway. The grain transport team on this road will not be affected by the road no matter it rains or shines, and they move very fast.
Small towns every ten miles provide warning and shelter.
Ensure logistics safety.
Feng Chong's Wanhu cavalry were highway guards. When enemy troops are discovered, the smaller ones will be eaten and the larger ones will be blocked.
Meng Yuan guards such a large piece of plain, doesn't it mean he has a city? I also guarded this road and built many small cities.
Send troops to guard and ensure smooth grain routes.
Only the Han Dynasty could do this. One is cement. The city wall it built is much stronger than the earth city. And it’s much easier to build than an earthen city.
Second, the Han army was powerful and had a large number of troops.
This time the Northern Expedition. Wu Nian specially mobilized four garrison households from Youyan area.
Currently, there are 14 of the 10,000 garrison households in Liaodong. The only opponent was Xiong Wuwo's 80,000-horse infantry army, so it was easy to mobilize four thousand households.
Maintaining this grain road leading directly to the capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty. And he led the main force of ten thousand households directly to the capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty.
Thus.
Meng Yuan is almost the same.
When the enemy army reached the heart of the empire. Imperial capital.
And it cannot be solved in a short time.
That was a huge blow to the empire's prestige.
This time. Wu Nian sent many envoys to persuade Meng Yuan to surrender. Most of the envoys were killed, and none of them succeeded.
But what if the Han army was stationed outside the capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty for a long time?
People's hearts will definitely float.
If the cornerstone of an empire is taken away, the entire empire will collapse.
The end of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty has arrived.
Wu Min was stunned.
Since ancient times, maintaining smooth grain routes has been the first priority for the coach when using troops.
Like Qin Shihuang, he built straight roads.
Like during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang had to cross mountains and ridges from Chengdu to deliver grain to the northwest.
But no one has ever built a straight road (cement road) and guarded the stations (small towns) along the way like Wu Nian.
But while Wu Min was dumbfounded, if he thought about it carefully, it really worked.
As long as cement roads are built, cars and horses can go very fast. With the warning, the logistics team hid in the small town before the enemy attacked.
The cement town is very strong and cannot be conquered for a while.
Will the food be saved?
If the food is saved, then that's easy to say.
Who is going to attack the heavily guarded cities along the way, and go straight to the capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty?
"My father's strategy, I am sincerely convinced. But I'm afraid it will take a long time." Wu Min thought for a long time before saying.
"Well. This is a problem. Although the output of steel bars and cement is large, it takes time to build these facilities. But it doesn't matter."
"As long as it reduces casualties. Time doesn't matter."
Wu Nian said with a smile.
"Yeah." Wu Min nodded.
Now that this matter has been settled, there is nothing more to say. Wu Nian immediately called for the bachelor who was on duty today and asked him to draft an imperial edict and send it to the court immediately, so that Liu Zhixing could act according to the plan.
Reinforced concrete.
There are also skilled cement craftsmen.
Four guard ten thousand households.
Here, he still has to figure out a route.
this matter. Wu Nian also told the general and close ministers around him.
At the court, Liu Zhixing was very efficient. Four soldiers guarding ten thousand households rushed along the road, first arrived at Beta City, and set up camp outside the city.
Cement, steel bars, craftsmen and civilian laborers arrived later.
After the craftsmen arrived, Wu Nian asked them to start from Beta City and follow the planned route to build a wide cement road wide enough to allow three large vehicles to travel parallel.
No one can take this road.
For logistical purposes only. And it's a one-way street. That is to say, those transporting food can go there, and the logistics team transporting food back can take the dirt road next to it.
To avoid traffic jams on the road and affecting vehicle traffic in emergencies.
Cement thing. The generals already knew.
Building bridges and paving roads is really a good thing.
Simply magical.
But when Wu Nian used cement in the war, the generals found it novel and surprised. Cement solidifies very quickly.
Craftsmen poured cement that day.
Early the next morning. Wu Nian then led all the generals and a large number of close officials to watch the cement road under the protection of the imperial guards.
"Seriously. Although I'm very familiar with this thing, every time I see it, I feel it's magical." As everyone walked on the concrete road, Tieniu bent down, knocked on the cement pavement, and shook his head.
"Who says it isn't? Some powder and sand become a hard cement road. From a military perspective, it greatly increases the speed of food and grass transportation."
"It's comparable to waterways."
Zhang Sheng put his hands on his hips and agreed very much.
"This thing has no effect on the cavalry. If the horses run on it, it might hurt their feet." Feng Chong pinched his chin, thinking from a very novel angle.
"No matter what, we have already paved the road directly to the capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasties. This road, plus the construction of small towns along the way, will take at least half a year."
"In the past six months, you have trained the recruits under your command to be like steel."
"Wait until the fight starts. If you lose, I won't spare you."
Wu Nian's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he looked at the generals sternly.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. As long as we get to the capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, Haida will not be a problem." Feng Chong held his head high and raised his hand to pat his chest, very confident.
"yes."
It is rare for the generals to agree with Feng Chong, so he should agree loudly.
"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed, with a smile on his face. After carefully looking at the cement road built yesterday, Wu Nian led the crowd back to the city and had dinner with the generals.
The three cities of Beita, Soha and Ninggu are located in the mainland of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty. This is the Mongolian territory. Mongolian spies are everywhere.
Now that the Han army was carrying out large-scale construction projects, it was natural that they could not hide this from the Mongolian and Yuan court.
Cement has been around for a while. It has been used in building roads and bridges in the Han Dynasty.
But the Mengyuan people only have a partial understanding of cement. I don’t know how this thing is made, how much it costs, and whether the output is large.
When Wu Niangang built the cement road, they felt very confused.
What does Wu Nian want to do?
But when Wu Nian built a ten-mile cement road and equipped it with a small cement city.
The Meng Yuan court finally realized what Wu Nian was going to do.
It was like a huge hammer hitting a strong man's chest hard. The strong man spit out a mouthful of blood and was seriously injured.
The strategy of Prince Regent Haida, the imperial uncle, failed completely.
Meng Yuan has reached the edge of life and death.
The sky above the capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty was covered with dark clouds that were invisible to the naked eye.
