Chapter 158: Day by day, Europe and Brexit

In the blink of an eye it has been two days.

That day, Zhang Yue had just finished his meal when Wang Hu came to invite him.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yue smiled and asked

Wang Hu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please move and take a look!"

Zhang Yue patted his butt after hearing this and followed Wang Hu to the siege camp.

At this time, this object was placed in the open space in the camp.

However, it was not visible because it was covered by the tarpaulin.

"Please take a look, Your Majesty!"

While Wang Hu was talking, he stepped forward and opened the tarpaulin.

At this time, a primitive and crude sleigh appeared in front of everyone.

Zhang Yue stepped forward and inspected it carefully.

It can be seen that Wang Hu has put great effort into making the sled very strong, but there is something wrong with the bottom sled.

"Hitch the horse and try it!" Zhang Yue ordered.

Soon a soldier moved two horses over.

Several craftsmen stepped forward and hurriedly harnessed the horses.

At this time, Han Jiang and others suddenly realized that this strange-looking thing was actually a tool for transporting goods.

"Crack!"

The handler whipped the horse whip, and the horse started to drag the sled through the snow easily.

"Put the goods on and try it!"

The craftsmen did not dare to move too many things, so they first placed five stones worth of goods.

Zhang Yue said, "Add five more stones!"

Several craftsmen hesitated for a moment, and then added five more stones according to Zhang Yue's request.

Zhang Yue nodded with satisfaction, "Come and try!"

"shelf!"

The charioteer waved his whip, and the two horses easily pulled the cargo weighing ten stones.

Judging from the appearance of the two horses, I'm afraid they can pull it even if something is added to it.

Everyone was extremely surprised. They didn't expect that something that seemed strange could have such an effect.

Only Zhang Yue was expected and not surprised.

In later generations, two ordinary Mongolian horses could easily pull more than 500 kilograms of cargo, which is equivalent to 17 shi today.

What's more, the two horses used today are heavy-duty draft horses specially trained by the Han army. Their strength and endurance are not comparable to ordinary Mongolian horses.

"You are so talented, I can't wait to catch up with you!".

Everyone is old at war, so how could they not know the value of this sled?

With this sled, the efficiency of the Han army's food transportation can be increased by at least three times.

Coupled with the reduction in losses along the way, the amount of food and grass that can actually be delivered to the barrier should be five times that of today.

Even if grain and grass were transferred from Luntai, the Han army no longer had to worry about the shortage of grain and grass.

"Run up, go outside for a lap and come back!"

Zhang Yue was worried about the quality of the sled at this time.

The charioteer was now full of confidence. Hearing the words, he sped up and ran outside the barrier.

Wherever the sled passed, there were constant sounds of exclamation.

"The Lord is truly a god..."

After about half an hour, the charioteer returned to the camp with his sled.

Only then did a smile appear on Zhang Yue's face.

"Wang Hu, think about it carefully and see if there is any improvement!"

"promise!"

Wang Hu agreed and quickly led several craftsmen forward.

They first untied the horses and then unloaded the cargo from the sled.

Then he began to carefully inspect the sled inside and out.

"There is something wrong here and it needs to be reinforced..."

"This place should be raised a bit..."

"The skid plate can be widened..."

After research and discussion, Wang Hu and others decided to improve the sled.

Zhang Yue was extremely satisfied with the work of the craftsmen. After rewarding them, he took the people back to the big tent.

Wang Hu and others continue to think of ways to make the sled better.

After more than ten days of hard work, the siege camp worked hard and built more than a hundred sleds.

Yuli and Tieshancheng each built more than 60 aircraft according to the drawings.

With the addition of these sleds, the Han army finally got rid of the pressure on food and grass.

…

The appearance of the sleigh naturally attracted the attention of people in the city.

On this day, the King of Chariot Masters and his guards once again approached the boy servant Captain Tu Er.

"Does the captain know what happened to the Han army outside the city?" King Cheshi was not polite and asked directly.

Tu Er looked at the Che Master King with a smile on his face, "What, are you scared?"

The driver king stared at Tu Er in silence for a long time before speaking with difficulty, "Yes, Xiao Wang is indeed worried!"

He didn't wait for Tu E to speak and continued, "Isn't it the same for you?"

Tu E smiled and stroked the ring-headed sword presented by King Sun Zhu.

He did not answer directly, but asked, "What does the King of Car Masters think of this knife?"

The driver king felt a little confused, but he still replied, "This is a sharp blade!"

Tu E nodded, "Only the Han army in the world can create such a sharp blade..."

The Cheshi King said doubtfully, "Of course I know this, but what does it have to do with this battle?"

Tu Er smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, do you really not understand?"

The driver Wang thought for a long time and then said, "What the captain means is that we can cope with all changes by remaining unchanged?"

Tu E smiled and said, "Who in the world can compete with the Han army in terms of this weapon?"

"Even if there are one or two more magical things in the Han army, what will happen? As long as we hold on to Jiaohe City, what will the Han army do?"

Although the driver king felt relieved, he still asked unwillingly, "Are we just going to be trapped in this city forever?"

Tu E suddenly stood up and laughed. Then he walked outside the door and pointed in the direction of the Han army's barrier.

"Does His Majesty the King want to go out of the city to hunt with the Han army in this weather?"

When the driver Wang heard this, he couldn't help but think of his experience fighting the Han army in the wild.

His body couldn't help but tremble, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

In order to cover up his gaffe, he deliberately laughed.

"The Han army is unparalleled in field battles. It cannot be resisted by charioteers. But we can't just watch the Han army besiege the city all the time, right?"

Tu Er walked to the table, first poured a glass of wine for Che Shiwang, and then poured another glass for himself.

He signaled to the driver king and drank it all in one gulp.

The driver king hesitated for a moment and drank the wine in one gulp.

At this time, Tu Er said calmly, "Your Highness, why should you worry? King Ri Zhui sent the message the day before yesterday. When the ice and snow melt after the spring begins, King Ri Zhu and King Oute will personally lead their armies to join the Han army in hunting."

Driver..."

The driver Wang jumped up excitedly when he heard this, "This is true!"
