The second brother performed well, and Zhao Da gave him a dog thigh as a reward.

Unlike other meats, dog meat does not require complicated dishes. As long as it is cooked and dipped in a little salt, it will be very delicate and delicious, rich in nutrition. It is definitely a great pleasure to be able to eat black dog legs in the army.

No one is causing trouble for you here. Believe it or not. If the dog fans run to the military camp and shout, these Mr. Qiu Ba can stew them! There is not even a bone left!

Zhao Kuangyi chewed most of his legs and then told his brother very formally.

"Although you have entered the Xiang army now, lost your might and lost your bad luck... but it doesn't matter, you have a capable brother like me, don't worry, our family will not decline!"

After hearing this, Zhao Da was so angry that he snatched the rest of his legs, ate them all in a few bites, and then took the leg bone and knocked Zhao Er on the head!

"Dare to say that your brother is in a bad state, I tell you that I am also a Jiedushi, Jiedushi! Do you know!"

"I know, it's the governor of the Xiang Army!" Zhao Er was very unceremonious to expose his brother.

Zhao Da screamed, "Do you guys think I'm going to be unlucky? Tell you! It's impossible. This time, your brother is the main force in attacking Yan Yun!"

"Is the main force in transporting grain?" Zhao Er once again demolished his brother's station.

Zhao Da said that he couldn't continue the talk. Look at it, see how the Xiang army fought!

The so-called military force is very fast. After driving away the Khitan envoys, Ye Hua immediately set up 30,000 troops, took Han Tong as the vanguard to capture Yizhou.

A surprising thing happened. In front of Han Tong, there was actually a group of people, which were earlier than they set out!

"Hahaha, Pioneer Pioneer, the battle will come first. Now we are our Tianxiong Army. Who are you a vanguard?" Zhao Dachang laughed wildly, proudly.

Han Tong was stunned. Isn’t Tianxiong Army aborted? What can they do if they are the front-line?

"Mr. Marquis, I'm not convinced!"

He asked Ye Hua for his grievances.

Ye Hua shrugged, "It's normal. Engineers will go first, open the road when they encounter mountains and build bridges when they encounter water. This is their mission."

Han Tong was stunned for a moment, "Engineering, what is an engineer? When did my Great Zhou expand the imperial guards again?" He still regarded it as a new number!

Ye Hua smiled and explained that engineers are not new numbers, but new types of troops, just like cavalry and infantry, they are engineer soldiers!

The army was moving forward, with tens of thousands of people and countless food and supplies, and there were bridges, roads, camps, and trenches along the way... The project volume was very large.

As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the army had official positions such as "Zhanggu" and "Sijian". To this day, civil servants would be recruited in every battle. In addition, there were xiang army in the Great Zhou and Khitans, and their main tasks were to be responsible for construction support.

However, in Ye Hua's view, the Xiang Army is a concentration camp for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. It lacks training and does not have suitable tools. The construction is slow and the quality is worrying, which is very dragging.

Ye Hua had long been thinking of forming a professional engineer.

Moreover, he also had an iron smelting workshop, made farm tools, and switched to production shovels and hammers, which was not difficult at all.

This time, the Tianxiong Army was abolished and Zhao Da sent him there.

Ye Hua has a lot of plans, and Zhao Da shoulders a very heavy mission... After listening to Ye Hua's explanation, Han Tong suddenly realized that no wonder the Tianxiong Army was carrying shovels!

It turns out that they are specializing in this, so I want to see how much better they are than ordinary wing soldiers!

Han Tong led his men and followed Zhao Kuangyin forward.

Along the way, I really saw a difference.

Wherever the engineer passes, a road that is enough for two chariots to run parallel will be opened, without any difference.

There are bumps on the road, all of which are filled. Even in some areas with dense artemisia, they will sprinkle some sulfur on the roadside to drive away insects and snakes, so as not to be bitten by the poisonous snakes.

"Oh, OK!"

Han Tong kept praising her, her thumb was so high that she could do something!

As engineers open the way, the speed of advancement has been greatly improved.

The engineers even helped to choose a camp, dig trenches, provide drinking water, and set up tents in advance. This is what they practiced. After several months, their techniques were very proficient.

With their escort, soldiers only need to move forward with peace of mind. They are much more relaxed, their physical strength is maintained, and their morale is also rising.

"This engineer is pretty good!"

Han Tong introduced to several generals, and everyone showed a curious look.

"Let's catch up with Lao Zhao and see how he did it. If possible, we will also choose some staff and be special engineers!"

After discussion, more than a dozen generals rushed to catch up with the progress of the engineers.

What appeared in front of them was the famous Yishui River.

Although Yishui is famous, it is not very wide, less than ten feet long. However, the river bank is full of mudflats and dense reeds. The environment is complex, so it is not easy to cross the river.

"Old Han, how long does it take to cross the river?" Someone asked Han Tong.

Han Tong thought for a while and said, "That depends on how many ships can be collected. According to my calculations, 30,000 people will take at least two days to cross the river."

Yang Ye and Gao Huaide also nodded in agreement, and their judgments were similar.

Let’s see if Zhao Da has any tricks!

By the way, where did Zhao Da go?

They searched around and suddenly found that Zhao Da was back with a group of people carrying reeds. They were right by the river and quickly turned into mats with reeds, one after another, and in a short while, they piled into a small hill.

On the other hand, someone collected a lot of ships and connected them with iron chains to form a simple floating bridge.

It is not difficult to use a boat to make a floating bridge, but because the ships are of different sizes and people can pass by, it is difficult to load the carriage with baggage. It must be carried by the soldiers on their shoulders, which is the most time-consuming.

They were thinking that Zhao Kuangyin had also acted, and there was another group of soldiers who were responsible for cutting down wood and making piers and racks.

I saw someone first carry sharpened thick wood and penetrate into the river, revealing a section, and then tie a square shelf to the wood, and the prototype of a bridge is finished.

Han Tong's eyes lit up. This is a good method!

If you put some wooden boards on it, won’t you be able to surpass it?

He thought so, but Zhao Da did not do as Han Tong expected.

In fact, where to find so many wooden boards, engineers must learn to adapt to local conditions.

Isn’t there a reed mat? Just spread it on!

"Zhao Kuangyin!"

Han Tong was furious, "You are a shoddy project, do you want to kill us?"

Zhao Daqiu gave him a blank look, "What do you know, look at it!"

At this time, another group of soldiers, carrying wooden barrels, rushed to the bridge, scattered the things in the barrel on the reed mat. When they retreated, someone layed another layer of reed mat.

Just go through layer after layer, quickly.

Zhao Kuangyin secretly asked the craftsman, "Can you succeed?"

The craftsman's head is a small man with a bad appearance, and he is Chen Ming!

The young man who went to Cangzhou to work, fled to Dazhou with his whole family and went to build the city wall. At this time, the Tianxiong Army recruited skilled craftsmen to join the army.

Chen Ming joined the engineer without hesitation and became the first group of technical talents among the engineers. Zhao Kuangyin trusted him very much.

"Please rest assured, we have laid seven layers of reed mats and passed by when the cement is dry. People, horses and carriages can pass through safely, like walking on flat ground!"

"Okay!" Zhao Kuangyin nodded with satisfaction. He turned around and shouted at the fun: "You can cross the river tomorrow morning, so hurry up and accumulate your energy!"

Everyone was skeptical, and someone wanted to go to the bridge to take a look, but Zhao Da made three punches and two kicks and hit them back.

Military secrets, why are you joining in the fun?

A whole night passed, and Zhao Da built five bridges in one breath.

The next morning, the soldiers had breakfast and were ready to go.

Han Tong was shocked when he led his troops onto the bridge.

The bridge is very stable, just like a stone bridge. It is strong and solid. Not to mention the passing of the people, there is no problem with the car driving. Han Tong jumped off the war horse, squatted on the bridge deck, and bounced it with his hands. Only then did he realize that the engineers were sprinkling cement between the reed mats, as if they were sandwiched biscuits, which was amazing.

"You really have it!"

It originally took two days to cross the river, but after the floating bridge, they only took less than half a day to cross the Yishui River. The speed of advancement was as fast as a god's help. Everyone knew that this "god" was no one else, but a newly formed engineer!

The engineer is mighty, and the Zhao is mighty!

Just when everyone was so grateful that the engineer brothers were not idle yet, and they were looking for the location of the camp.

Walk ahead of everyone, suffer the most of the hardships and the most of the fatigue, and always be willing to be a green leaf, providing protection for other brothers, allowing them to look down on their will and make achievements!

That's right, this is the mission of our engineers!

Chen Ming led 200 people to trek out of a valley. They measured the width of the valley and surveyed the terrain, which was just right for garrisoning troops.

Everyone came out of the valley with joy, and suddenly, a man appeared in front of them, rushing towards them quickly.

"It's a Khitan!"

"Enemy attack!"

Chen Ming's face changed. He had only joined the army for a few days. It would be too difficult to make him work. Fighting war would be too difficult. Can these people under his command be able to do it?

Chen Ming's heart kept falling, but the brothers around him laughed, "Mr. Chen, have you forgotten what we did before? Tianxiong Army! The First Army in Hebei!"
