Chapter 255: The enemy advances, I retreat


The golden sunlight covered the yellow grass, and the frost in the morning indicated that another cold winter was coming soon.
Gu Duo and Kuha traveled day and night. Two days later, they saw the Scarlet Wolf Banner, which was the bronze tent at Chagatai, the head of the banner.
In the Golden Horde system, only the Khan can live in the Golden Horde, and Taiji can live in the silver tent, and the heads of the tribes can only live in the copper tent. According to the color of the tent, the status of the Golden Horde can be distinguished.
Looking at the scarlet wolf ride in the camp, Kuha flogged and sat down on his horse and quickly headed towards the bronze tent of Chagatai.
"Head of the flag, please avenge me."
Entering the copper tent, Kuha saw the Chagatai sitting in a precarious position, and immediately knelt down and cried.
At this time Gu Duo also walked in. He glanced at the people in the house. These were the flag captains of the various tribes. He said, "Master of the flag, the Qing tribe and the Kuha tribe have all been slaughtered."
Chagatai's eyes were gloomy, and he said: "The two of them also said that they had encountered the army of the Great Yu State and the tribe suffered heavy losses."
"Is it really the army of the Great Yu country?" Gu Duo's expression was gloomy.
"They are wearing silver full-body armor. It can't be wrong." A banner leader said: "They took advantage of our journey to Cangzhou City and suddenly launched an attack on our tribe. The people in the tribe could not resist at all, and they did not distinguish between men and women. When you are young, you kill people when you see them, and burn the tribe when you kill them. Our cattle, sheep and horses will not be spared."
Chagatai slapped the table angrily. He said, "Why didn't you spot them in advance? We prairie people have eagle-like eyes, so why don't we even have the power to fight back now."
The three banner captains lowered their heads, "None of us expected that the army of Dayu would enter the grassland, so we did not send scouts to patrol outside the tribe."
"Hmph, you underestimated the enemy too much. Now you immediately notify all the tribes and send out scouts to inspect the grasslands day and night, and you must find out the cavalry of the Great Yu Kingdom for me." Chagatai said angrily.
Kuha was full of hatred at this time. He said, "The head of the flag, please give me another two thousand elite soldiers. I will definitely come back to see the head of the flag with their heads!"
Chagatai nodded and said, "You and Guduo will go to the south for inspections. You two will go to the east, and you two will go to the west. You must find them out. These untouchables of the Great Yu Kingdom dare to kill our Golden Horde. Noble people, we must make them pay the price."
"I will eat their meat." Coha looked crazy.
Chagatai stood up at this time, and immediately let the guards in front of him sound the horn, and there was a rumble of horseshoes in the camp.
Ten thousand blood wolf cavalry assembled on the grassland.
After Chagatai allocated 2,000 people to Kuha, he assigned some soldiers to other flag leaders, and took 5,000 people toward the vast grassland.
At this time, they could no longer take care of Cangzhou City, because the Great Yu State Cavalry who had penetrated into the grassland made them sleepless, so they had to send a large number of cavalry to search the grassland.
But even so, the vast grassland looking for the army of the Great Yu country is like finding a needle in a haystack. At the same time, this kind of abnormality was quickly discovered by Lu Fei and Niu Ben.
Somewhere in the grassland, Lei Ming returned with the cavalry who went out to explore the way.
After getting off the horse, Lei Ming put the telescope away and said to Lu Fei who was repairing in front of a river: "School Lieutenant, there are more and more barbarian scouts patrolling. If this continues, we will probably be discovered soon."
At this time, another group of pathfinder cavalry came back and said: "Lieutenant, we found that there are two thousand barbarians coming from the north."
It has been more than half a month since they started from Cangzhou City. The pair of people, horses and horses, ate and sleeps together, is very hard. At the same time, although the process of each attack has a great advantage, soldiers are still injured.
Dozens of people have been injured, which has seriously slowed the pace of the march.
In the past half month, Lu Fei and his team have attacked three tribes. Now as these tribes have increased their vigilance, it is difficult for them to find opportunities for this kind of people.
"Now withdraw to Cangzhou City immediately." Lu Fei groaned and said.
They had a rigorous plan to enter the grassland this time. Xiao Ming said when they set off that once the barbarians began to round up them, they would immediately withdraw.
After all, their purpose this time is to harass, to buy time for the construction of the city wall of Cangzhou City, and they cannot love fighting.
"Go back now?" Lei Ming was a little unwilling.
Lu Fei nodded, his tone was firm, "You can't disobey His Highness's orders. Have you forgotten what your Highness said? The enemy advances and I retreat, go!"
After that, Lu Fei got on his horse and took the horses he had rushed to Cangzhou City with the soldiers.
At the same time, Niu Ben also chose to retreat to Cangzhou City. According to his experience, continuing to go deep alone would only be surrounded and annihilated.
Now they all rely on the advantage of the telescope to avoid the barbarians. If they are bitten by the barbarian cavalry, they will not be able to escape.
After all, the barbarian's immediate kung fu is much better than these cavalry who have only trained for more than a year.
Cangzhou City.
Ten days have passed since the last harassment of the barbarian cavalry. At present, the foundation concrete of the new wall outside the city is being poured.
At this time, tens of thousands of slaves were busy in an area spreading over five hundred meters. They continued to transport stones, sand, cement, water and other materials from the city to the outside.
The craftsmen waiting outside took the shovel to mix these materials according to the ratio of 1:0.43:1.25:2.91. This is the later C30 strength concrete. The construction of high-strength walls will basically use this strength concrete.
After mixing, the slaves pushed the wheelbarrow to transport the concrete along the to the bottom of the foundation, and then poured the concrete into the supported wooden formwork with a spade.
Among these wooden formwork are ground beams by steel bars. Each ground beam has a thickness of one meter. There are seven or eight vertical and horizontal ground beams in the entire foundation~EbookFREE.me~ because the ground beams with sufficient strength will not let The wall of the future sinks and tilts.
This city wall is the key to resist the barbarians in the future. Xiao Ming doesn't want to build a tofu project at this critical moment, so the design of this city wall must be rigorous.
Supervising the pouring on the foundation, Xiao Ming felt more at ease. Once the foundation was poured, the barbarians would no longer be able to destroy the concrete, and the concrete solidified quickly, and the wooden formwork could be removed basically within a week.
"His Royal Highness, I didn't expect that this architecture is also a science, but the officials have learned a lot in the past two days." Zhan Xingchang said excitedly.
Xiao Ming smiled and said: "Of course, otherwise the king will not come in person. If you are allowed to come, this city wall will definitely be over, and these craftsmen have only built brick and concrete structures before, and have never had experience in concrete construction. It is also to train these craftsmen, who will be the exclusive construction camps of Qingzhou in the future."
"Construction camp?" Zhan Xingchang said with a smile: "This name is good."
