Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1713 Building a Camp

"In this case, we can only enter a small army. Well, it is not impossible to have a larger number, but are you sure you can be so accurate?" Xu You suddenly realized.

"I don't know if it's accurate or not, but we can spend time trying it out. Ten days should be enough, and it's covered by heavy snow. It might be easier, and by the way, we can also set up our camp during this time." Xun Xun Chen lowered his head and said slightly gloomyly.

"Just treat the Northern Huns as disgusting. First, let's see how the other party reacts, whether they start to attack violently, or hold back and wait for the opportunity." Xu You stroked his beard and said.

"As long as there is no problem with the brain, it is a small-scale trial. It will depend on the situation whether to be on guard or to find other ways." The judge said with a little thought. He has already made a certain design, but there are still many mistakes and omissions.

"Now it depends on how we build the camp. What is the basis for the construction?" Xun Chen looked at the judge and Xu You and said.

"How about setting up a two-thousand-acre camp?" The judge thought for a while and looked up at the two.

"It will take a lot of time, and it will require a lot of manpower." Xu You roughly calculated that the manpower required to build such a large camp is not small. It is estimated that 2000 people will be needed to build the camp. sky.

"Don't worry about these things. While building the camp and planning, you can do both." Xun Chen said with a smile.

Yuan Tan, Gao Lan, and Ji Ling looked at the three civil servants with sinister smiles in confusion, completely unable to understand.

Everyone agreed that the next day, more than 2 people were carried by oxen and horses and killed directly one mile in front of the Northern Huns camp. The Northern Huns who received the news at that time directly entered a state of war alert.

However, the Northern Huns, who had entered an abnormal state of alert, waited left and right until it was dark, and still did not wait for the attack of the Han army. It was not until the scouts came to report that the Han army began to set up camp on the spot. The people of the Northern Huns were relieved .

The northern Xiongnu originally wanted to let the war eagle send a message to inform the people of the south, but because of the violent storm, they could only extinguish this idea. They also used war horses to send a message. In this harsh climate, it is not much different from courting death.

In the wind and snow in West Siberia, as long as you lost your way, even if you had horses and reserves, you would basically have a dead end. Therefore, the Northern Xiongnu tribe could only send a certain number of soldiers south as much as possible, which was considered as doing their best to obey the destiny.

Of course, this terrible snowstorm is not entirely due to natural causes, half of it is caused by Xu You, Shenpei, and Xun Chen, but the bad thing is that now the Han army is also affected by this level of snowstorm up.

There is no good way to even assign them to destroy this snow cloud that has spread across the entire state. In the true sense of the world, people who forcibly change the weather of a state against the weather do not rely on their own ability to achieve it.

Obviously, there is no good way for them to face this snow cloud now. They can only leave one person to weaken the snowfall and strong wind within the range of their camp. Forcibly stopping it is too nonsense.

Of the remaining two people, one commanded the construction of the camp, and the other took Wang Mo, Zhu Han, Tao Sheng and others to cut down trees, and transported them back to build the camp.

A camp with a size of 15 mu, including the timber for paving and heightening, requires almost [-] trees. It is estimated that the forest of five or six square kilometers will be cut down as soon as it is finished.

Fortunately, in this era, there are far more trees than people, and there are barren mountains and wild forests everywhere. If you are short of anything, you will not be short of trees, so let alone cut down 15 pine and fir trees, even if you cut down millions of them, no one will care. Looking back, it was a forest again after more than ten years.

However, even with the support of internal energy, there are not enough high-quality tools in this era, and one person cannot cut down a hundred trees in a day. If one person only cuts and does not transport back fifty trees, it is not a big problem.

But with the need to transport it back, it is more tangled. It is estimated that only ten to twenty trees can be processed in a day, so the tree feller brought more than 2000 people to cut the trees, and it is estimated that it can be cut in seven or eight days. of trees.

In other words, it didn’t take so long, but the more trees were cut down, the longer the transportation distance. Originally, the Northern Huns were stationed in this place not far from the forest for the convenience of wintering.

For this era, the water source in winter is not a problem. The snow and other things are collected, and the fire is converted into natural and pollution-free drinking water. Only the fire is very important.

This is also the reason why the camps of the northern Huns are not too far from the cold coniferous forest, but it also happened that Xun Chen and others used local materials to build their camps.

Xu You transported the wood back, while Xun Chen took 3000 people to saw the tree into the boards he needed. Of course, at the beginning, except for the work of the soldiers who were real carpenters, the others were purely random.

Fortunately, Xun Chen didn't pay much attention to it, no matter how bad the sawn piles were or how faulty the boards were, he just started to build in the previously planned places.

What kind of mortise and tenon structure, nonsense, if you can't do it, you can put nails on it. If there are no iron nails, there are no wooden nails. The internal structure of wooden nails is strengthened by warming and nourishing. Isn't the continuous strengthening and warming of thousands of people just to make the materials he wants? .

As for why it needs to be warmed to make it flammable, of course it is for the convenience of heating in snowy days. It is not easy to light a fire in winter, it is easy to burn, and it can be easier to live.

The construction area of ​​the Han army camp covering an area of ​​about [-] mu really shocked the surviving members of the Northern Huns, but under the current circumstances, the Northern Huns were indeed unable to go further north, and the Northern Huns also It's not stupid, their women, children, old and weak, under the current situation, once they march northward, it is very likely, no, it should definitely form a loophole during the march!

In the current situation where the Han army has already faced the Northern Huns face to face, once there is a flaw of that degree, it will be almost fatal to the current Northern Huns.

Therefore, for the current Northern Huns, standing still and strengthening their guard is the most correct choice, and the Northern Huns, who think they are very smart, did the same.

The two sides met for less than five miles, but due to the snowstorm, the Northern Xiongnu could not see clearly what the Han army was doing, and they could not send too many scouts to investigate. The army is building the camp.

Xun Chen calmed down a lot. When the Northern Huns did not directly launch a counterattack on the first day, Xun Chen understood what this group of Northern Huns were thinking, and immediately brought over the soldiers who were originally used to defend the camp. The wood needed to make a camp.

The soldiers who made the wooden boards made the wooden boards, and the warmed wooden boards and the soldiers of various materials continued to be warmed up. The entire camp was quickly built under the current situation.
