Sometimes the war between people is secondary, and the war between people and nature is the key to the entire war, just like the one that destroyed the 600,000 troops of the Napoleon Empire was not the Tsarist Russian army, but the cold winter in Russia.

He was blowing easily, but Wang Hou's trip to transport grain was not simple. It was not difficult to sail from Liankou across the Bohai Sea, but the shoreline of the later Hebei was really stumped. The fleet searched for more than 100 kilometers north of Hebei, and even briefly talked about two ships that hit the reef and sank, which made Wang Hou feel so distressed that he found a suitable landing port for a hundred miles north of Jieshi Mountain.

However, even if the ship finally stopped, it would not be enough to just leave the food, it was a robbery! The two counties in Liaodong and Liaoxi were no longer the time when the Han Dynasty had the final say. The Dong Zhuo Rebellion ended the authority of the Han Dynasty to protect the Wuhuan Captain. The three counties, the more than 200,000 households and dozens of tribes of Wuhuan, and the more than 100,000 Youzhou residents brought to the north by Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, are currently headed by Wuhuan Khan Tadun.

Once the nomadic peoples living in Wuhuan who were chasing water and plants discovered the food storage site by them, if there was no solid barrier, the hungry and cold tribes in the cold winter would not even need to be ordered by Tadun, and would flock to rob like jackals who smelled rotten meat.

Before unloading the food from the ship, you still need to firmly build a stronghold.

Fortunately, this is the cold winter month, and the extremely plastic ice and snow provided Wang Hou with a lot of convenience. After a small number of troops landed, they built a pier to land on the beach with the wood they brought. Then a reserve brigade of 5,000 people rushed to the shore with buckets and iron shovels and drank the northwest wind. They "played" with snow and foam in the ice and snow.

Fortunately, Rizhao’s production tools! He swung his hoe, even if it melted first and froze, the hard layer of sticky snow was piled on the shore, and the hoe refined from Taishan iron ore could be easily dug up. Then the reserve soldiers wore large cotton gloves to put the snow into the basket, dragged it back to the beach.

If you cast it with soil, you have to use a mill to beat it. The soil is solid and made into three-piece soil. You don’t need to use snow blocks. Snow piles up on both sides, and a hole is made in Daihe. The bone-black river water is poured up. The bone-black knife wind blows, and a layer will be frozen in a few minutes. Under the interlayer of snow outside and inside, under the ice inside, under three days, an ice wall of more than three meters high, a rectangular fortress against the sea with a circumference of more than one thousand meters has already seen the clues, and the wall thickness is as high as three meters, which is enough for several rows of infantry to fight on it.

On the wall, hundreds of miserable reserve infantry were still trying to make farts for Wang Hou's whispers, constantly transporting snow blocks from the gap left to the city wall. From the slopes built by snow in the village, the remaining reserve soldiers started to build tents and residences in the village. After all, the guard granary cannot live on the boat. In the cold weather, if you fall asleep in the snow, you will sleep here forever. If you don't have enough heat and warmth to wear a house in the wild, you will be looking for death.

The winter in western Liaoning is really too cold. In the first three days, I had to go back to the boat to bake for half an hour, otherwise people would freeze to death. Now, it is a little more convenient to set up a circle of tents. The reserve soldier who resisted wood from the boat to build a granary base does two rounds of work, but he still had to get into the tent to grill the body.

Even though he was wearing the large cotton gloves and big cotton hats distributed uniformly in Qingzhou, there were still many people who were frostbite. Without these, his fingers might have been frozen! No wonder Cao Chengxiang and his troops were in the end, but they did not dare to continue to march north in winter no matter what. He was not as rich as Wang Hou, with 100,000 soldiers and more than 200,000 strong civilians could not afford to have a full cotton coat at all. If he rashly advanced north, he would not have to fight with Wuhuan, and nature would have turned the entire army into ice sculptures.

Standing on the ice wall where three layers of cashmere cushions were slammed under his feet and his feet were so cold that his feet were cold. Seeing his subordinates constantly building snow walls, Wang Hou stomped his feet unsatisfiedly. The hardness and plasticity of ice and snow are unique among building materials. However, the service life is a flaw. The lunar calendar is nearly one month longer than the Gregorian calendar. At the end of February and early March next year, the snow village cannot maintain its melting season. According to the speed of war in ancient times, Mr. Cao, who set out in February, may not be able to arrive here in mid-March or even April.

In other words, you have to build another layer of internal barrier before the ice and snow melts!

"Master! Look!"

Just as Wang Hou was still thinking about how to put the building blocks, Zhuge Ying, the Detachment of Women beside him, shouted again and waved her slapped forward like a paul. Wang Hou felt nervous and suddenly raised the telescope.

Looking at these two eyes, his brows couldn't help but raising his eyebrows quickly. In the center of the telescope, the edge of the white snow field, three nomads wearing old sheepskin coats were holding pergolas on their foreheads, and they were also watching themselves. And they had to admire the eyesight and alertness of these people. Wang Hou then raised the telescope and looked at it for a few times. It seemed that they had already found it. He turned around with his horse. The three of them carried the particularly cold sea breeze by the sea, and were not panicked, and they ran back slowly.

The Wuhuan people discovered it!

"Do you want to chase?"

The little face was also red from the cold. After following Wang Hou for a long time, Zhuge Ying, who was originally active, turned into a militant. She carried her back with her hands. She threw off the old cannon shotgun that Wang Hou gave her. She looked at Wang Hou excitedly with a red face under her big hat. The girl asked excitedly.

However, Wang Hou put down the telescope and suddenly pulled down the frozen big snot, but Wang Hou shook his head deeply.

Even if the corridors of western Liaoning are almost all large plains, the plains have ups and downs. The lumps are swamps and rivers are not known. This area is a real strange place for the Qingzhou army. If you pursue them rashly, let alone whether you can catch them, you may be lost and you will not be able to come back if you go there! The young soldiers in Qingzhou are still too long. At present, there is only two regiments of warriors gathered here and there are about 100 personal soldiers. There is no need to take this risk.

"These Wuhuan people have been lurking nearby for a long time. Maybe we only discovered it today, and it is useless to chase it! Send someone to tell Lu He that his brigade's rest ended early and ordered him to install defenses on the periphery of the fortress to prevent the Hu people from raiding!"

"In addition, I sent someone to notify the logistics forces that the distribution of pastry cakes and island city spirits increased by one third, but the working hours of the Island City Reserve Brigade also added an hour to me. It is necessary to unload the food from the ship in the past few days!"

"I understand!"

He was a little disappointed, but Zhuge Ying still obediently clasped her fists and answered, then flew briskly and ran down the village wall, and grabbed a guy who was shouting in the middle of the village, shouting, and pressing on one level one level. Soon, the Qingzhou reserve troops working below seemed to have doubled the speed, and their movements became faster and faster.

Wang Hou himself was breathing white breath, and once again held the telescope and looked into the distance. After a few glances, he started to shout orders to the soldiers under his hands who were merging.

"You! Yes! Just you, build two-story watchtowers for me at all corners!"

"So quickly!"
Chapter completed!
