"Why do you suddenly want to take the city?"
Zoucang set out to ask for help.
In the big tent, Hei Niu asked Liao Hua.
Liao Hua raised his head and smiled calmly.
"It's just that the opportunity has come to us. There is no ready-made county captain in hand. The difficulty of entering Ying County has been greatly reduced. It is naturally good to capture a city, whether it is the refugees who will come here in the future or the people on the defense line. Multiple choices.”
In fact, at first Liao Hua just wanted to take the refugees back to Banyang after getting rid of these 300 people.
But during the battle in the valley, after seeing the fighting power of Li Cheng and his men, he came up with the idea of taking Ying County.
The county lieutenant and the soldiers under his command who are in charge of the military affairs of a county only have this ability, and the Han army guarding the city is naturally of this level.
If he were allowed to attack the city, Liao Hua would naturally not waste his life in vain, but if
The battle took place inside the city.
Liao Hua chuckled.
The same goes for everyone else in the big tent.
After Liao Hua's explanation, several people in the tent figured out the key and laughed.
"Let me just say that Xiaohua's brain works well!"
Peiyuan Shao smiled and patted Liao Hua on the shoulder.
Liao Hua, on the other hand, bared his teeth and avoided Peiyuan Shao's falling palm.
"No, we, Xiaohua, are so stupid. If it weren't for him, we would have died on the way to escape."
Guan Hai also did not hesitate to praise.
Although these big guys can fight, Liao Hua played the biggest role in bringing them from humble beginnings to where they are now.
In the beginning, they were no different from ordinary refugees, and only Zou Cang had special skills.
"Hey, brothers, stop boasting and take some time to rest. We'll be busy in a day or two."
His face turned red after being praised by everyone, Liao Hua scratched his head in embarrassment and said.
"Hahaha, you are too thin-skinned. How can I praise you so much? If I have a brain like yours, I can't wait to show it off every day."
The atmosphere in the big tent was very joyful, and the corpses of the county soldiers at the mouth of the valley were gathered together by the refugees in the valley.
"Do you feel bad?"
Next to the old father, Sanwa's face was slightly pale.
dead.
Who has never seen this world?
Sanwa was like this at first, and he was even particularly excited when he pushed a stone down the cliff and killed two people.
But an intact body is one thing, a stoned body is another.
Red, yellow, and white viscous liquids are mixed together, and the visual sense is particularly strong.
Coupled with the pungent smell and strong fishy smell.
Not to mention the third baby, several younger refugees couldn't help but vomited it out.
It was purely due to the smell.
"good."
Sanwa's throat surged, but luckily she managed to hold on.
Seeing his appearance, the old man nodded.
"You'll be fine once you get used to it."
"Has Grandpa often experienced this kind of scene before?"
Seeing his father's calm demeanor, Sanwa couldn't help but ask.
The old man shook his head.
"Ah? No, we used to fight with white knives going in and red knives coming out. How can it be so bloody? It's just a few unlucky guys who were crushed to death by war horses, and there was just a little blood from the seven orifices."
"Give me a hand, I'm an old man."
Shanhai City.
In an extremely spacious and transparent building.
Building perimeter.
The strong soldiers were heavily defensive and ensured that no mosquitoes were allowed to fly in.
"Is this the train you were talking about?"
In front of a tall object made entirely of handmade metal, Hu Ling raised her head and asked with slight confusion.
Beside her, Zhang Qi was also smiling, reaching out and patting the locomotive.
"Yes, the craftsmen's skills are becoming more and more exquisite. This replica is not 90% but 100%. The only thing left is to start the steam engine. Although in the Kingdom of God, the startup of the steam engine is very smooth, it is unknown to the outside world How about this one?"
After more than ten years of painstaking research in the Kingdom of God, that is, the world of riding and slashing, steam engine technology has been successfully conquered.
After reading all the research and development progress reports, Zhang Qi was surprised to find that the technology he thought was extremely difficult actually had no other problems after the sealing problem was solved.
The steam prototype was actually produced in the fourth year of Zhang Qi's planned riding and slashing world. It was purely handmade, made of cast iron and refined.
In fact, it is not difficult to see from the disassembly of the steam engine that the structure of this thing is extremely simple, roughly consisting of two blocks.
A boiler, an engine.
The boiler is used to heat and generate steam, and the engine uses the steam generated by the boiler to move the piston.
It is even simpler to use the steam engine, which is to utilize the force generated by the piston movement.
So far, we have a machine that can keep running as long as it keeps burning.
The reason why it took Zhang Qi so long to bring the steam engine to the outside world is naturally because scholars in the world of riding and cutting have been perfecting the structure of the steam engine and improving the power conversion of the steam engine and a series of other issues.
Now that everything is perfected, Zhang Qi naturally brought out this technology.
And the first steam locomotive was assembled in Shanhai City.
The appearance of this assembled locomotive is no different from the steam locomotives of later generations.
Simple and simple.
Of course this is in Zhang Qi's eyes.
In the eyes of Hu Ling and the hundreds of craftsmen who were responsible for installing the locomotive, it was a novelty that they had never seen before.
Gudong, gudong.
At this moment, the craftsmen were filling the locomotive's boiler with water under Zhang Qi's instructions.
If you want a train to move, steam is necessary, otherwise it wouldn't be called a steam engine.
After the water level reached the area with a thick piece of glass at the upper end of the boiler, Zhang Qi stopped the craftsmen's work of adding water.
Enough is enough.
"Where's the coal you prepared?"
"Here you come, Your Majesty."
Ayan's voice sounded from behind Zhang Qi.
A wagon came in dragging lumps of coal.
Not much, just a few tons, which is enough to test the locomotive.
"Here, give me a hand and move to the coal area."
Ayan jumped down from the carriage and called a few craftsmen over.
Everyone worked together to lift the coal to the boiler room of the locomotive.
Everything is ready.
It's time to experiment.
As a monarch, Zhang Qi stepped onto the locomotive and shoveled the first shovelful of coal into the boiler.
Then he went down.
The experiment was not done by him, but by Ayan.
Although he has driven a locomotive in the world of riding and slashing, and it is very safe, this one is produced independently. Although the craftsmanship is the same, no one dares to 100% guarantee the quality.
Today, Zhang Qi is not alone. Behind him is the safety of millions of people. No one will agree with him to take such a risk.
This is not a war. Zhang Qi is the one who has the ability to fight in person, and everyone knows it.
As for the experimental locomotive, no one has done this before, so it is naturally unclear what will happen.
Furthermore, this does not mean that only specific people can come, so Zhang Qi got off the locomotive and Ayan ran up excitedly.
"Light the fire."
Under the locomotive, Zhang Qi asked Hu Ling to clear the place and vacate the surrounding area.
Then he shouted loudly to Ayan.
In the cab, Ayan responded and then started the boiler.
Warm up.
wait.
As the temperature of the boiler increases little by little.
Steam began to appear in the air pipe connected to the metal pipe and entered the air chamber.
White smoke also began to rise from the chimney above the locomotive.
Rumble-rumble-rumble.
With the slow movement of the connecting rod, the iron wheel under the locomotive began to move forward little by little.
train.
It's on!
