Tens of thousands of people worked together to build houses at an extremely fast speed, and their requirements were very simple, just that they could house people and keep them warm.
Whether it looks good or not, whether it is comfortable or not, these are not things that can be considered during marching operations!
On the first day, they had dug countless large holes in the forest. On the second day, they had already chipped the wood, inserted it into the ground and put up beams. At this time, the house was barely equipped with the ability to keep warm. and the role of housing people.
On the third day, they had blocked all the vents with mud, grass and snow, leaving only a small opening for ventilation.
As soldiers entered one after another, the whole room quickly became warm even though there was no life.
The surrounding frozen soil and the snow above have become the best insulation layer!
"This place is really nice. I can find such a warm place to live in such a cold place!"
In fact, this construction method was also seen in a book by General Qiaoqi, and this book was written by a traveler among the northern nomads, recording what he saw and heard in the north.
I didn't expect that it would come in handy today.
"The method of building houses in Jiangjun State is really advantageous. In just three days, a place that can accommodate the entire army has been introduced. It is also so gentle and warm that even it is not half inferior to my Daming stove house. Woolen cloth!"
"Yes, I once heard old people say that this semi-underground house seemed to have existed in the Huangdi period, but it was abandoned later!"
But he didn't expect it to be so useful, especially in winter when the wind was biting outside, but the inside was quite warm. He even felt that he could take off a coat without feeling too cold.
When I return home in rich clothes, I must build a house like this at home, otherwise it will be too expensive to buy coal in the winter, and I heard that this kind of house is also very cool in the summer.
Of course, many southern areas also have such houses, but they are not used to keep out the cold, so naturally they would not have such a use.
"Okay, let's get organized first. Lieutenant General, come with me and let's make a plan for the future!"
…
"This is such a crazy weather. Last year we didn't see snow a few times in a year, but now we've seen it snow twice!"
Zhu Tianyou stood on the city wall of Liangzhou City, complaining. Of course, he was not complaining about the snow that fell today, but about what happened during this period.
"Whether it snows or not is God's business. If you can, you can reason with God!"
In the past few days, although the five-nation coalition forces had been withdrawn militarily, he, the prefect, was extremely tired in terms of civil affairs.
Most of the servants from the aristocratic families have been returned now. He spent countless days and nights working as cattle and horses, and talked hard with the squires to get them back, but now they are useless. I was thrown back by someone's words.
You said he was aggrieved, but he didn't get any benefits, and he was still holding back his resentment.
Not only from these big families, but also the ordinary people in Liangzhou City, how to appease them, he, the prefect of Liangzhou, is in trouble!
Nothing was chaotic. The first people to be confused were the ordinary people who heard the news. When they heard about the 300,000-strong army, they immediately panicked. They even packed up their things overnight and tried to run away, but they were all stopped by him, the prefect. Stopped.
After some painstaking persuasion and exhaustion of words, these people were persuaded to let them stay here temporarily and observe the fighting situation between the two sides. When the war situation is unfavorable to them, it is not too late to leave!
Of course, there are still many people among them who are full of blood and want to take up weapons and fight those idiots on the city wall!
But who would have thought that these menacing 300,000-strong army would retreat without a fight.
How many days has passed?
What about the promised protracted war?
They were so energetic at the beginning, why did they suddenly disappear?
On the first day of the war, the soldiers of the Five Nations Allied Forces went crazy to attack their city walls like chicken blood. They were not even afraid of bows and arrows, rolling wooden fire barrels and explosives.
At that moment, they seemed to have forgotten life and death, and all they could see was climbing up their city wall.
This fierceness scared them. Encouraged by Zhu Tianyou and the others, the soldiers guarding the city defended the city for three days. After three days, these originally vicious demons mission, just like smoking too hard, suddenly becoming paralyzed and powerless.
I don't know why, but the originally fierce offensive suddenly weakened. Even if they only made a few perfunctory defenses, they could easily repel the invading soldiers. Unlike the previous few days, they had to fight with all their lives and fight twelve times. Only when you have more energy can you force your subordinates.
This sudden emergency change made them all confused. They suspected that it was a treacherous plot by the enemy envoys, so they did not relax at all on the fourth day.
So they stayed on the city wall all the time, observing every move of the enemy, while letting the tired and injured soldiers take a good rest below.
A small number of soldiers were sent to hold on to the city, while the remaining soldiers rested by the city wall, so that if a sudden change occurred, they could quickly provide support.
However, as time went by, they discovered that the enemy did not seem to be acting, but really did not want to fight. Not long after, they saw them returning to the court.
Ah this...?! ?
I can't just give them a try this time. What are you doing? The wind is loud and the rain is light?
You've been traveling for more than half a month just to come here and scare us?
Then, after scaring us, he ran away?
They never dreamed that the enemy would retreat like this.
They waited until the Allied Forces of the Five Nations disappeared in their experiment, and then they reacted, fearing that the enemy would fake a retreat and then launch a night raid to catch them off guard.
Therefore, several teams of cavalry were sent to spy on the enemy's situation, and the results reported back were exactly the same.
That is, they ran away and went far away. The cavalry chased them for a whole day before they saw their backs!
This speed of running is simply breathtaking and unmatched.
"So, guess what's going on?"
Zhu Tianyou asked the prefect beside him with a smile on his face.
"What else could be going on? Seeing that such a fierce attack could not defeat us, they must have felt that they could not capture Liangzhou in a short time, so they retreated!" (End of Chapter)
