It's just that there is really not much time left for them. Li Guang has already rushed to Shangjun. According to the latest intelligence, the Huns have begun to move south. It is expected that in about 10 days, they will arrive at Shangjun.
After another review in the military camp, and seeing their high-morale training, Liu Deng encouraged him a few more words, then got up and left, rushed to the other courtyard, and talked secretly with the craftsmen for a long time in the other courtyard, until it got dark. When I arrived, I finally returned to the palace.
As for what they are studying, it is unknown...
In the next few days, Liu Deng stared at the production of the sand table every day. As for the supervisor, he never asked again. He knew that Cai Xin, a technical geek, would definitely not let him down. , because for Cai Xin, this is also a rare opportunity.
If he had stayed in the Cai family, no one would have given him such great trust, allowing him to control a country's generals and prisons at will.
And no matter how much food resources he allocated, Liu Deng never asked. Even if someone came to ask, Liu Deng would always say one word: accurate!
Trust is usually invisible and intangible, but when it really came to Cai Xin, Cai Xin felt that this trust was really heavy and overwhelming.
He was out of breath.
In just a few days, the number of supervisors was expanded again and again. Even so, there was still no way to meet his needs.
In order to complete the tasks assigned by Liu Deng, the entire prison staff worked almost non-stop day and night.
There is a steady stream of supplies coming in, and a steady stream of things being shipped out. The whole production line has turned into a high-speed running machine, and the craftsmen are becoming more and more efficient. Of course, this is also due to Cai. Xin's high bounty.
All tasks were divided among Cai Xin's people. As long as he could complete his daily tasks on time and in quantity, he could receive five guan of money every day.
These five dollars may not be much to those rich men, but to these craftsmen, this is almost two months of their income over the past few years.
As long as the task can be completed on time and in quantity, you will be able to get the income that you have only received in the past two months. Almost everyone has red eyes, and they are as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood every day.
The momentum was really overwhelming. Finally, some people began to come up with clever tricks to improve efficiency. For example, some people discovered that using iron molds during casting is faster than Tao molds.
Cai Xin was overjoyed to save the time of constantly casting molds, and directly rewarded him with 50 coins, and was promoted one level to become the manager of the Foundry Bureau.
The appearance of this reward greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the craftsmen. They went from being numb to now actively thinking about how to become faster.
Although the reward for being a supervisor does go a bit quickly, and this is indeed a bit much, in Liu Deng's opinion it is all worth it.
Money is nothing. What he needs now is time. Besides, the time cost saved by such a process is definitely worth the money.
Finally, it took only 8 days to complete all 100,000 arrows, 10,000 arrows a day. This terrifying speed made all the old people in the past stunned.
The 10,000 sets of winding machines Liu Deng needed were more troublesome to manufacture. However, due to the emergence of Tie Fan, the speed was suddenly improved a lot. This invention also benefited a lot from Mo Dao.
By the third day of September, good news came from the ironworks. Due to the emergence of new ironmaking furnaces, the daily output had tripled compared with before. In addition, with the formal determination of the steel-frying method, almost only the iron-making furnace was used. In just one day, the ironworks had produced nearly five thousand kilograms of steel.
This was unimaginable before. Everything was developing for the better, but Liu Deng couldn't be happy at all. The Huns had finally arrived!
Moreover, it is not the 50,000 people in the intelligence, but 80,000 elite soldiers! What's even more worrying is that this time they actually brought a dozen rush cars.
In the past, the Huns came and went like the wind. Although they didn't have any baggage, they also didn't have any siege weapons, but this time there was actually a charge, which really made people feel uneasy...
Among them were 20,000 people from the Shanyu headquarters. Now things were completely serious. Looking at the sand table in front of him, Liu Deng began to worry about whether Li Guang could hold Shangjun. He only had 20,000 people in his hands, and there were still 20,000 people in his hands. Less than half are old, weak and disabled soldiers.
It was originally expected that the enemy side facing Shangjun would only be about 20,000 people, and Yanmen side would be the main direction of attack.
But now it seems that King Zuo Guli of the Huns was a false shot and actually did such a thing at this time.
Comparing Yunzhong and Yanmen, the city defenses are obviously much older, and there have been no major wars in the past few years.
Indeed, the people here in Shangjun are all ordinary people, far less wealthy than those in Yanmen. If they insist on fighting to the death, the benefits they can get are far less than the price they need to pay.
This was one of the reasons why Zhang Tu and the others put Cheng Bushi in Yanmen.
This completely disrupted Liu Deng's deployment. Originally, he planned to cooperate with Li Guang inside and outside at the foot of Yunzhong City, catch the Huns off guard, and then take the opportunity to eat a small force of his.
But now it seems that all this is too simple. The battlefield is changing rapidly, how can there be an unchanging plan?
At this time, if you still want to rely on these 10,000 new troops to cooperate with Li Guangli, I am afraid that the gain will outweigh the loss...
Many of these people have never seen blood. God knows what will happen to them. If the camp is bombed at a critical moment, it will really be doomed...
"Your Majesty, we must seize the moment and send troops to assist Li Guangcai. With only 20,000 people in his hands, something may happen..."
As the lieutenant of Dai Guo, Wu Guoxiang still had some strategic vision. Zhang Tu was also on the side, looking at the sand table in silence.
Shangjun is now an isolated city. It may not be the best idea to send troops to rescue them at this time...
"I have never fought in a battle, but look here, the Huns have now besieged the city. If we want to enter Shangjun, we have to go through the Ziwu Valley. If the Huns set up an ambush here in advance, I am afraid that our army will be completely annihilated!"
This is the benefit of the sand table. With it, the map of the entire Shangjun area can be seen at a glance. Wu Guoxiang's forehead broke out with a layer of cold sweat after listening to Liu Deng's analysis. If Liu Deng hadn't been careful, they might have suffered a big blow this time. deficit……
"But if we don't save him, Li Guangke will be in a hard battle..."
