Liu Deng didn't know that Yu Dan was secretly being cruel, and now all his thoughts were focused on the pouring of the city wall.
A simple mixer, driven by two horses, can replace the work of dozens of people day and night.
The cement kiln was blazing with fire, and a large amount of cement was being fired day and night. The cement in the front had just come out of the kiln, and people were already feeding materials in the back.
Everyone is working selflessly. Five days have passed, and the outermost city wall has been cast on three sides. Although there is no way to remove the outer formwork yet, you can clearly feel that the hardness of the cement has begun to increase. .
"Your Majesty, it seems that within seven or eight days, the outer formwork should be almost ready to be removed. In half a month at most, the hardness of the cement will be fully increased!"
After testing the hardness of the cement with steel nails through the gaps in the formwork, Wang Ziyun was very satisfied with the results.
"Everyone has worked hard these days. Let me tell the brothers in the kitchen that meat cannot be missing from this meal!"
Anyway, we are on the grassland now, and cattle and sheep are the least valuable things.
Thanks to Long Xiao, they also got a lot of cattle and sheep this time. The work on the construction site was so intense that Liu Deng didn't want to treat them badly when it comes to meals.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Look at these days, the number of cow and sheep heads outside the kitchen has almost turned into a hill!"
Wang Ziyun smiled and joked at Liu Deng.
"Tell all the citizens that as long as our city can be successfully built, all of their families will be exempt from taxes this year!"
There must be brave men under the heavy rewards. At this time, everyone is seriously exhausted. After all, working day and night is really hard for the civilian men.
Everyone is holding on with one breath, and this breath cannot be exhausted!
"Long live the king!"
"Long live the king!"
When the news spread, a burst of cheers erupted from the civilian team, and the progress of the entire project accelerated again.
"Your Majesty, the scouts ahead have just sent news that the Hun Prince Yu Dan has led an army of 40,000 and has arrived fifty miles away!"
While Liu Deng was talking to Wang Ziyun, Li Guang hurried over and whispered in Liu Liu's ear.
"Instruct everyone to be on guard! Ziyun, I'll leave this to you!"
Even if the Huns invade, the pouring work cannot be stopped.
After all, cement doesn't wait for anyone. If you delay the time and wait until the cement agglomerates, you won't be able to use it again.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Ziyun will definitely fulfill his mission!"
Wang Ziyun also knew that the situation was critical at this time. The Huns were coming, so Liu Deng naturally had to focus all his attention on defending against the Huns.
He needs to do the work of stabilizing people's hearts. After all, these civilians are not regular troops. If they really cause any commotion, I'm afraid there will be a big mess.
"let's go!"
Liu Deng nodded, and then hurried to the handsome tent with Li Guang.
"Your Majesty, please see, this is the horse trap we have dug nearby these days. There is a horse trap almost every two steps. It is not easy for the Huns cavalry to get close to our camp!"
After working hard for so long, the results were about to be tested, and Li Guang felt really uneasy.
"Have someone pull up the barbed wire fence for me. By the way, let the brothers in Gunpowder Camp take action and give the Huns a powerful blow later!"
"Your Majesty, are we going to dispatch them now?"
Li Guang was a little hesitant. After all, this trump card still had to be used at the critical moment. It was just the first confrontation between the two sides. Exposing gunpowder weapons at this time did not seem to be the best choice.
"I know what you mean, but we can't hide this thing anymore. If we don't give them a powerful attack, what will happen to the Shenwu Army if they attack on foot with shields?"
Liu Deng directly rejected Li Guang's suggestion. The most important thing at this time was to establish his authority. First, he should give the Huns a head-on blow and directly blind him so that they would not dare to approach.
At the very least, let them have some scruples, give him a blow on the head and then retreat directly, so that the Huns will die inexplicably, and the dragon will not see its head or tail.
Virtual reality, real reality, virtual reality, this is the strategy that suits them best at this time.
"But Your Majesty, if they really find a way to restrain gunpowder weapons, what will we do then?"
After all, gunpowder weapons are their last resort. It is better to be exposed one day later. If the Huns find a flaw, it will be a real disaster for them!
"How could it be so easy for them to find a flaw? This thing is not made of paper, just them? Without tens of thousands of people dying, how could it be so easy to find a flaw?"
Regarding this, Liu Deng is still very confident.
After all, the black powder has been upgraded to its current level, which is enough for military purposes.
If the Huns found a solution so easily, then it wouldn't be worthy of being called one of the four great inventions.
"If that's the case, then just do as the king says!"
Since Liu Deng said so confidently, Li Guang no longer insisted on his opinion and directly ordered people to prepare.
An hour later, Yu Dan finally arrived with his army.
"What are these Han troops doing? Are they building a rammed-earth city? But even rammed-earth cities are not built like this, right?"
Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Yu Dan was completely confused.
"Your Highness, are these Han soldiers trying to use these old pieces of wood as city walls?"
After staring at the strange city wall in front of him for a long time, Mori tentatively asked.
"How is this possible? Although we Huns warriors are not good at attacking cities, it is simply wishful thinking to try to defend us with these broken pieces of wood!"
Yu Dan sneered and directly ordered to set up camp.
After all, once the two sides start a war, it will definitely be a protracted war. Only by establishing a camp can they fight with confidence.
Watching the Huns begin to set up camp honestly, a smile appeared on Liu Deng's lips.
"It seems that this boy Long Xiao has beaten the Huns sorely this time. When we set up camp before, the Huns all laughed and called our camp a sheepfold. I didn't expect that now even they themselves have begun to imitate us!"
Li Guang stood beside Liu Deng and couldn't help but smile after seeing the Huns' actions.
"It is a good thing to learn from us. This shows that the Huns are starting to be afraid of us! Just wait and see, in ten years, the world will be very different again. The Huns have been showing off their power for so long, and it is our turn! "
As Liu Deng spoke, the expression on his face began to become serious.
This is a war between two nations. There is no justice or evil at all. In the end, the war can only end with the disappearance of one party!
Since God allowed you to come to this dynasty, don't blame yourself for killing all the races and rebuilding the great celestial dynasty with the blood of foreign races!
