Chapter 166
Zhang Liao stood on the top of Baima City.
His eyes were full of admiration.
Xu Huang was also standing beside him.
He couldn’t help but say,”My lord is truly a god!”
“Even the Huihui cannons can’t break through the walls built like this!”
Zhang Liao also nodded:”Indeed, it is difficult for the Huihui cannons to break through such a city!”
“”How did the lord get this stuff called cement?” Xu Huang was a little curious. Zhang
Liao shook his head:”I only know that it was dragged here from Xingyang!”
“These cements are so magical, could they be Taoist recipes?”Xu Huang couldn’t help guessing.
Zhang Liao shook his head, and he didn’t answer.
This is Gu Chang’an’s military secret, it’s best not to explore it out of curiosity.
Because this kind of cement is so magical.
Cement can stick gravel and bricks together. It was very unstable in the early stage.
But as long as the cement dries, it is as solid as a rock and difficult to shake.
If all the cities in the world are built like this.
I’m afraid that future sieges will really become a blood and flesh grinder.
The most important thing is that the city walls built in this way are very stable and can reach unprecedented heights.
High and hard city walls.
For future besiegers, this is simply a nightmare.
Countless civilians and settlers are busy carrying cement, mixing concrete, and stacking bricks and stones. They are also corvee labor.
These civilians and settlers, but they have nothing to do. What kind of resistance do they have?
Instead, they are full of enthusiasm and motivation.
Because Zhang Liao’s army not only provides meals, but also cloth and grain.
At this time, the financial system is almost collapsed.
Cloth and grain are the best currency. They can be used for personal use or exchanged with others for supplies.
These civilians and settlers have really changed their family’s living conditions through this corvée.
Although building the city is very hard.
But they have no resentment at all, but are extremely grateful to Gu Changan.
As time went by.
When the first cement brick wall stood in Baima City, Yanzhou, everyone was shocked.
They had never seen such a strong, so flat, and so tall city wall.
This kind of city wall is not only more durable than traditional rammed earth walls, but also greatly improves the construction speed.
“Could this be some kind of magic? ．． ？”Some people speculate that people in this period believed in various Taoist techniques.
Otherwise, the Taiping Dao would not have been able to develop so much.
“This… is this really something that human power can do?”
An elderly craftsman widened his eyes and looked at the city wall in front of him in disbelief.
His face was full of shock and confusion, as if he had seen a god.
Gu Changan’s army, whether ordinary soldiers or generals.
They obviously felt it.
The locals looked at them differently from before.
In the past, they were mostly afraid.
Now it is full of enthusiasm.
Many uncooperative workers began to cooperate, and many cooperative workers began to work hard.
Everything became smooth.
The construction of the concrete city wall is a miracle for people of this era.
In the minds of these ordinary people.
Gu Changan is already like a god.
Even Gu Changan’s army has become more fanatical and more loyal.
For ordinary soldiers, fighting with a god.
How could they lose? It is time to make achievements. In the following days.
Everything that happened in Baima City has attracted widespread attention in Yanzhou.
People Many people came to see this magical cement brick wall.
Some people even worshiped the wall.
This was not done by human power at all, it must be the power of gods.
The noble families in Yanzhou heard the news.
They sent people to check it out.
Touching the rock-solid wall, the scholars of these noble families were speechless for a long time.
This was completely beyond their cognition.
Although it is said: Confucius does not talk about strange things.
However, such a wall stands in front of them.
And they heard that there is not only one such city. After the completion of Baima City, the other five cities will also be started one after another.
With these five cities guarding here,
Cao Cao has no chance of taking back the land here.
And Zhang Liao’s army is already in a situation where it can attack or defend.
At this time, all the noble families in Yanzhou are no longer optimistic about Cao Cao’s future.
The balance of victory has tilted towards Gu Changan.
It is only a matter of time before Cao Cao is defeated….
“Is this true?”
Cao Cao sat in the big tent, holding the table tightly with both hands, his eyes flashing with shock and confusion.
“It is true!” Xun Yu’s face turned very ugly.
“How is this possible?”Cao Cao exclaimed, his voice full of shock and confusion.
“Could it be that Gu Changan has divine help?”
Cao Cao then reacted and asked quickly:”¨「 ¨「 Did you send more spies?”
Cheng Yu’s face was gloomy, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.
“More than a dozen groups of spies have been sent out, and it has been confirmed!”
Chen Gong’s face was also very ugly:”Zhang Liao did not refuse to watch and touch, and they did not guard against spies!”
To be honest, Xun Yu, Chen Gong and Cheng Yu all read the spy’s documents.
But deep down in their hearts, they still couldn’t imagine that scene.
If it weren’t for the great risk.
They couldn’t help but want to go there in person.
“”Is there any way to find out how they did it?” Cao Cao asked anxiously.
Xun Yu took a deep breath and said,”We have spies who have infiltrated the civilians!”
“The bricks and stones are bonded together with concrete. They are shaky at first, but after the concrete dries, they are as solid as a rock!”
“What is this concrete? Cao Cao continued to ask.
Xun Yu answered:”This concrete is the water, sand and gravel that we commonly see!))”
“Finally a grey powder called cement is added!”
“Finally, stir again!”
“Cement?”Cao Cao frowned.
He didn’t understand how water and mud combined to become concrete.
Chen Gong shook his head and said,”I don’t know what this cement is!”
“All we found out was that it was transported from Xingyang!”
“The spies have been sent out, but they haven’t returned yet!”
Cao Cao took a deep breath.
He said slowly:”Search for more spies, and we must get the secret of cement!”
“Yes!”X3…..Still.
“What?”
“Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were found?”
Gu Changan was very surprised.
He didn’t expect the Jinyiwei to be so efficient……. ps:▄█ˉ█●Please, it’s on the shelves, please subscribe, flowers, evaluation votes, rewards, comments!.
