Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 422 The Horde is Coming
Grain can't be placed directly on the cold and wet land, otherwise, even if it is frozen in today's cold, the grain will still be prone to mold, just like the grain that Wang Hou gave Gongsun Zhi.Moldy grains can produce toxins, and may even eat dead people, not to mention that people can't eat them, even horses can't eat them!

So Wang Hou went back to his old job and became a warehouse manager.On this side, trembling reserve soldiers who were as cold as grandsons lifted the slender logs prepared on the ship one by one. Eight and a half meters deep pile holes were dug out with a hoe on the hard ground, and the thickest logs were buried in them as the foundation.

Then the slender logs were nailed to the foundation with big nails to build a frame, and then rows of small thigh-thick logs were tightly placed on the frame, nailed row by row with planks, about ten centimeters from the ground, The base of the granary is ready.

The walls and beams are not so particular, and the straw is tied directly to the wooden planks with iron wires, so that it is dense and impenetrable to the snow, and then logs are used to prop up a pointed roof like two fires on the top, which is also made of iron wires. Tie it tightly, and then put straw on it, and a granary that can store grain is built.

500 people are responsible for getting materials from the ship, and then ten people build one. In the past few days, more than 200 large and small wooden granaries of [-] square meters have been built. However, Wang Hou is not Doraemon and Tinker Bell. Up to now, the heavy cargo that was originally used for ballasting is almost consumed. According to the report, the remaining wood is enough to build another [-] or so warehouses, let alone build the inner wooden wall. The [-] shi of the thickly planned military rations are not enough.

The surrounding area is the Great Plains near the sea, but there is no wood. Looking at the reserve soldiers who are working hard, Wang Hou can't help but get entangled.

Now there are two sources of wood. Weihaiwei in the north has stockpiled a large amount of high-quality Taishan logs for shipbuilding, and even Baiyu Mountain and Xiaohei Mountain near Jiaocheng also have a large amount of high-quality wood when there are more trees than people. You can send someone to cut it.

However, the two routes have their own advantages and disadvantages. Lianjiaocheng transported wood quickly, and it took only six days to cross the Bohai Sea back and forth. It took more than ten days to cut down the trees, which was enough for Wang Hou for a while, but Lianjiaocheng is now There is a lot of waste to be done, labor is needed everywhere, and a brigade is divided to cut trees, and it may be too late to prepare for land reclamation and spring plowing in the coming spring.

For Weihaiwei to mobilize wood, they need to send sailboats to set off now, return to Lianjiao City, and then go south to Weihaiwei, load the wood, bring it back, and go back and forth by sea, it will take at least a month!
Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are only two months left to make preparations. If Mr. Cao can't supply food when he marches, he doesn't want to see Mr. Cao's ugly face.

But when Wang Hou was struggling, something happened that made him even more depressed. He ordered that the Harbin Ice and Snow World build ice sculptures like ice sculptures from the Nandai River on the crystal clear tower, sharp and rapid The horn sounded suddenly.

Thanks to the American wolf, this kid even made Wang Hou into a nervous breakdown at the mouth of the Yangtze River, but he also practiced the emergency response of the Qingzhou Army to deal with emergencies. The gongs were ringing, and they were still at the pier outside the stockade The reserve soldiers who were carrying food and wood dropped their things and ran across the boat, while in the stockade, the island city brigade soldiers who hid in a round bag similar to a yurt and warmed up by the fire also flew up the wall in a hurry.

Wearing the helmet crookedly, with the chicken head crooked, Wang Hou also flew up while wearing the armed belt, and looked down with the binoculars, good guy, there are quite a lot of people here!
On the white snowfield south of Nandai River, there are thousands of Wuhuan nomads popping up densely. This is the first time Wang Hou has traveled for so long and faced the nomads directly. Little braid, the fierce Hu Jun in exquisite iron armor is really different.

The sheepskin hats on the heads of these Wuhuan people are not animal fur hats. They are rolled up like ice cream cones to form a big pointed hat, which looks a bit like a tall tower. They also wear animal fur hats. A big leather padded jacket, the whole person looks fluffy, a pot bow and a grassland bow are carried on the back, and it is not a full moon scimitar hanging immediately, but about one meter long, with a black iron head Some of them still have pickaxes and axes hanging on the saddle, but the metal area is quite small.

Moreover, few Wuhuan people wear iron armor, they are even poorer than Gongsun Kang's Liaodong army, but these nomads are very good at adapting to local conditions, without iron armor, just like the goblins in the magic movie, they neatly smashed the bones of cattle and sheep There are quite a few people wearing armor on their chests in rows, and Wang Hou actually saw a few "Gundams" in the front row, just like the protective armor of giant machines crying in those cartoons. The wood is on the back and forms a semicircle around the shoulders. It looks mighty, but I don't know how it actually works.

Seeing these Wuhuan people swarming upwards, Wang Hou felt a bit bitter. It was really Timo's bad luck that he came to Liaodong this time. When he came to Lianjiao City, Gongsun Kang of Xiangping sent troops to surround him. Hey, I came to this Liaoxi County, and within a week, people surrounded me again. Now Wang Hou really wants to go back and find his cheap master Yu Ji to figure it out. Is he going to commit a crime this year!

But people are calling, and you have to call if you are depressed!Looking at the gloomy face of his boss, the warriors of the island city brigade who boarded the city were even more murderous, holding cold double bows and crossbows, staring at the Wuhuan people who came to smash the scene with a large number of people below, ready to attack at any time.

In their murderous eyes, these aggressive Wuhuan nomads approached the stockade at a distance of more than 100 meters in a wave of skirmishing attack without any haste, and then..., there is no more!
Time passed by every minute and every second, his eyeballs were wide open, and a gust of cold wind blew by. Wang Hou sneezed a lot, and the snot flowed out all at once, his neck shrunk from the cold, and he kept stomping Stepping on the ice wall, the big feet ached from the cold and clapped their hands, Wang Hou yelled sadly.

"If you don't want to fight, if you want to get out, what are these shepherds going to do!"

What a strange war, just like the British and French allied forces fighting quietly on the western front during the Second World War. After an hour, these old sheepskin men squatted more than 100 meters away, and even got off their horses, and they were as cold as grandchildren. Yep, while shivering in the heavy snow, at the same time, like watching a monkey in a zoo, just staring here.

1 minute of delay is 1 minute of construction period and time for grain storage!Really exhausted by their staring and staring eyes, Wang Tiangao, who was so cold and baring his teeth, yelled furiously after being exposed to the cold wind for half an hour.

"Where is Zhuge Fugui? Take your regiment to the west gate to gather, and come out of the stockade with me to kill them!"

He also sniffed his snot, and the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Regiment, who was also so cold that his head was crooked, responded with anger.

"The last will obey!"

The wooden door made of logs nailed with wooden boards was pushed open with a tooth-piercing creak, and amidst the heavy footsteps, the two members of the Ninth Regiment of the Island City Brigade, whose plate armor was frosted, The brigade rushed out with a grunt, and quickly formed an iron turtle formation under the wall of the village.

The snot was all over his sleeves and he was freezing. Wang Hou, who was so cold and begging for nothing, huddled behind the heavy infantry, holding his sword and yelling furiously.

"Enter the army! Do this group of little maidservants!"

"Ah!"

　Wow, wow, I've survived the winter, I'm going to freeze to death if I stop breathing, it's so cold...
