Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 288 Chai Shao leads the army to storm Yulin City

"Chu Suiliang, you don't have to be polite, go get busy!"

Yu Chihuan smiled and said, "I'm bored today, so I came here to see everyone!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

Chu Suiliang left immediately.

Other civilian and military generals are also busy again.

At present, Chu Suiliang manages [-] shi of grain, enough to feed a [-] army for more than ten days!
If you have finished eating, you can go to the five-tooth boat to transfer food.

However, Yu Chihuan believed that the Tang army could take Yulin City within ten days, so he did not transport all the grain ashore.

Next, Yu Chihuan went to inspect the canteen where the army cooks cook.

Since there were few trees and abundant coal in the Mobei grassland, the Tang army basically used coal to cook.

In this way, it not only saves the consumption of transshipment firewood, but also reduces the burden on the soldiers and civilians.

But when Yu Chihuan saw Tang Jun's cooks throwing pieces of coal the size of a fist into the coal stove and lighting the coal stove with difficulty, he suddenly felt that these Tang Jun cooks were too stupid!
The coal stoves of later generations basically use briquettes!

The briquettes have a honeycomb shape, are easy to breathe, and have enough oxygen, so they catch fire at one point!
Unlike the Tang army cooks in front of us, who use coal the size of a fist to start a fire!
Next, Yuchihuan ordered the artisans accompanying the army to come over and order them to temporarily build a coal stove!
This coal stove is actually the coal stove of later generations. It is round in the middle, and there are iron bars at the bottom to support the coal balls. Just ignite the fire directly from the bottom.

When the design drawings of Yuchihuan were handed over to the artisans accompanying the army, they were full of praise for Yuchihuan's design.

This new type of coal stove, even without briquettes, is very convenient to ignite coal.

Unlike the rigid coal stove, the coal needs to be ignited before being put into the coal stove.

The craftsmen accompanying the army were basically proficient in iron casting, carpentry, earthwork and other work, so they quickly built the first coal stove in the Tang Dynasty!
Yu Chihuan glanced at the coal stove, except that the clay on the inner wall has not yet solidified, everything else is no different from the coal stoves of later generations!

Yuchihuan was full of praise for the exquisite craftsmanship of these military craftsmen.

Next, Yuchihuan ordered the craftsmen to continue to build new coal stoves, the more the better!

The artisans accompanying the army did not dare to neglect, and immediately went to build coal stoves.

Yuchihuan then ordered the blacksmith to make honeycomb molds!

When the honeycomb briquette mold was finished, Yuchihuan made briquettes with some coal powder Hunhe yellow mud!
These briquettes are all honeycomb-shaped, exactly the same as the briquettes of later generations!
Moreover, these briquettes are all the same size, so it can be said that they have been standardized.

The craftsman dried the briquettes, and Yuchi Huan took the briquettes to the coal stove to light them!

The briquettes were instantly ignited by Yuchi Huan, and all the cooks of the Tang army were stunned.

And the smoke from briquettes is insignificant, unlike burning coal, which emits a lot of smoke!

This helps the army conceal its direction.

"Little Dudu Yuchi is really a god, since the coal stove has been improved!"

"Little Dudu Yuchi is the modern Vulcan, and his arrival is to improve the situation of our army cooks!"

"This coal stove and briquettes are really convenient. If they are popularized, they will benefit the country and the people!"

The Tang army cook and the artisans accompanying the army were full of praise for the coal stove and briquettes made by Yuchihuan!
Yuchihuan accepted everyone's praise with peace of mind.

After Chu Suiliang was busy transporting grain, he also ran over to see the new coal stove and briquettes.

"Little Governor Yuchi, how did you come up with this coal stove?"

Chu Suiliang was shocked when he saw the coal stove!

The coal stove in front of me not only has strong firepower, less smoke, but also is easy to carry!
A person can march and fight with a coal stove in his hand.

Unlike the coal stoves of the Tang Army before, they were so huge that they needed carriages to carry them!

"Chu Suiliang, this official came up with it on the spur of the moment!"

Yu Chihuan casually perfunctory Chu Suiliang's questioning!

"The officer knows!"

Chu Suiliang didn't dare to continue to ask Yuchi about the source of the ring coal furnace.

There are too many secrets about Yu Chihuan, and the Yunnan Baiyao on him alone is full of mystery.

As for Yuchihuan conjuring food out of thin air, it's already commonplace.

Chu Suiliang took over Yuchihuan's job and supervised the mass production of coal stoves and briquettes by craftsmen.

These coal stoves and briquettes will be sold in Hedong Road in the future.

Yu Chihuan returned to the Chinese army to watch the battle after leaving the camp of the Tang army.

At this moment, Chai Shao was strategizing in the Chinese army, commanding [-] Tang troops to fight.

"Little Commander Yuchi, there is a war together, and the swords and guns have no eyes. You should go to the back camp!"

When Chai Shao saw Yu Chihuan running over, he immediately advised him to leave.

"Chai Shao, don't scare me, I'm too scared!"

Yuchihuan was unmoved!
When Chai Shao heard what Yuchi Huan said, he couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Little Governor Yuchi, you can go wherever you like, I don't care about you!"

Yu Chihuan nodded and sat down on the table to rest with his eyes closed.

Su Dingfang, Liu Rengui, and Cheng Chumo looked at each other, everyone was preparing for the battle, but Yu Chihuan was still resting leisurely.

However, the more relaxed Yu Chihuan was, the higher the morale of the Tang army under the commanding platform.

This also indirectly cheers up Tang Jun who is about to play.

Seeing the high morale of the Tang army, Chai Shao was surprised and delighted, and immediately ordered Liu Rengui and Su Dingfang to attack Yulin City.

"kill!"

Su Dingfang took the lead and led [-] Tang infantry to attack the west gate of Yulin City!
Not to be outdone, Liu Rengui led five thousand infantry to attack the east gate of Yulin City.

Other soldiers and horses followed Chai Shao to attack the south gate of Yulin City!

Cheng Chumo was in charge of leading [-] Iron Buddha heavy armored cavalry to intercept and kill the Turkic deserters.

This time, everyone joined the battle except Yuchi Huan who didn't play.

Rumble!
All of a sudden, thousands of horses galloped outside Yulin City, sweeping towards Yulin City in unison!
The Tiefutu heavy armored cavalry led by Cheng Chumo circled around Yulin City to prevent the Turkic cavalry inside from escaping.

dong dong!

The battle drums in the Tang army camp were also beating one after another, and the drums were like thunder, encouraging the Tang army infantry to attack Yulin City.

In less than half a stick of incense, the [-] infantry led by Liu Rengui and the Turkic army at Dongchengmen used bows and crossbows to shoot at each other!

Due to the powerful crossbows of the Tang army and their long range, the crossbowmen of the Tang army temporarily had the upper hand.

The Turkic archers who defended the city suffered heavy losses, but they continued to bend their bows and set arrows to fight back against the Tang army's crossbowmen.

At this moment, Su Dingfang also led his troops to rush towards the city wall of Yulin City under the rain of arrows.

The Tang army's shield soldiers and crossbowmen cooperated with each other to attack the Turkic defenders defending the city.

In a blink of an eye, a rain of arrows appeared in the sky above Yulin City. These arrows rained from the Tang army and Turkic cavalry.

In less than a stick of incense, the Tang army led by Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui went under the city wall, and they began to lead their troops to fight against the wall.

The crossbowmen of the Tang army covered the Tang army's climbing escalators and ladders under the city wall.

The shield soldiers of the Tang Dynasty held up their iron shields and climbed the ladder, and there were continuous arrows and stones hitting the shields with clanging sounds!
However, the shield soldiers of the Tang army still withstood the attack of the Turkic defenders and continued to climb up.

boom!
The next moment, a thick log fell from the top of the city wall, and immediately smashed the shield soldiers to the ground.

The shield soldier was crushed to death on the spot.

However, the shield soldiers of the Tang army still climbed up the city wall of Yulin city without fear of death!
The Turkic defenders who were condescendingly attacking the Tang army were also shot and killed by the Tang army's crossbow arrows one after another, and the battle between the two sides became fierce in an instant!
