Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 104 Guo Zihe

"The specific situation is not very clear, but I guess it's not very good!" Luo Shixin rubbed his face, and said helplessly: "The Turkic people have raised their troops. No matter how good the situation in Lingzhou is, how could it be any better?"

When Chen Ying heard the words, his expression was silent.

Although the military strength of the Turkic Khanate is strong, their national strength is not strong.Usually, the food and grass savings are very limited, especially in such cold weather conditions, the Turkic people’s cattle, sheep and horses will freeze to death countless times. number.

Humans are like horses, the amount of food intake depends on the calorie consumption in the body. Usually, a horse only needs to eat ten catties of forage a day without worrying about losing weight, but in the current weather, even if it is fed twenty catties of forage a day, it will still lose weight Lose fat.Only soy or wheat bran can be added.

Similarly, eating one catty of grain at ordinary times can save life and energy consumption, but doing strenuous exercise can't keep three catties of grain.Right now, three catties of grain supply is the minimum standard.Chen Ying made a rough estimate that the [-]-odd Turkic people needed at least [-] shi of grain and nearly [-] shi of fodder every day.

In addition to food and grass, a large amount of fuel is also consumed. Without fuel, no one can withstand such weather.

"If you don't break through Lingzhou, the Turks won't be able to survive this winter!" Chen Ying frowned and said, "So, they must attack Lingzhou at all costs!"

Luo Shixin nodded and said: "That's for sure, but we are now able to rescue Lingzhou. Once the Turks touch our camp, they will not be polite!"

"I know this!" Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "The most important thing now is to find out the situation in Lingzhou. Can you select a group of dead men and take the opportunity to enter Lingzhou City and get in touch with Lingzhou?"

"I'm afraid there is little hope!" Zhang Shigui said: "Now there is ice and snow everywhere, our armor is very conspicuous, even if we are far away, we can see it at a glance!"

"By the way, we can pretend!"

Chen Ying recalled that the camouflage technology of later generations can be said to be very mature. There are not only digital camouflage that can prevent infrared detection, but also jungle camouflage suitable for jungle warfare, desert camouflage for the terrain next to the desert, and mountain camouflage.Of course, in the absence of infrared detection technology, snow camouflage is easier.

Zhang Shigui looked at Chen Ying suspiciously: "General Chen is also proficient in the Five Elements Escape Technique?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "There is no need for any five-element escapism at all, we just need to put on the white cloak under the moon, even if we get close, we won't be able to find it in the snow!"

The five-element escapism is the foundation of Taoist magic, and the Japanese envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty learned the five-element escapism from the Tang Dynasty, improved it, and formed the famous Japanese ninjutsu in later generations.In fact, in this era, it is not too clever.

When Chen Ying thought of a disguise for a moment, he asked someone to find a few bolts of white silk under the moon, and Zhang Shigui became a guinea pig for the experiment.Since there was no professional tailor, Chen Ying almost wrapped Zhang Shigui in white flour, even his face.

Sure enough, ten paces away, Zhang Shigui could almost become one with the snow.

"Or not!"

Zhang Shigui said: "In this way, we can only hide in the snow without moving. As long as we move, the scouts of the Turks or Liang Shidu can judge that someone has sneaked in from the traces in the snow!"

"Then it will take more trouble!" What Chen Ying thought of was that in the forest and snow field, the Japanese attacked Mt. Mighty by surprise, using only skis and a white cloak. In this way, even if the Turks found out, galloping their horses in the snow, they would not be able to escape. Not as fast as a snowboard on snow.In later generations of extreme sports, skis can do a limit speed of [-] kilometers per hour.

Of course, the objective conditions for such a high speed are very harsh.Chen Ying didn't want to be able to achieve a high speed of [-] kilometers per hour, but only needed to be able to surpass the speed of the Turkic cavalry marching on the snow at [-] kilometers per hour.

Chen Ying did it when he thought of it, and immediately asked Lin Chuanfu, the general supervisor, to be hired.

This time to support Lingzhou, the military department mobilized a total of five or six thousand civilian husbands to transport supplies with the army, but on the way, Chen Ying let the civilian husbands return the same way one after another, mainly because the more people there were, the greater the consumption, and Chen Ying couldn't ignore the life and death of the civilian husbands.

Now in the hot spring pool camp, there are less than 1000 military and civilian husbands.But not one of the two hundred craftsmen is missing.Of course, the snow sledges will be damaged along the way, and they need to be responsible for replacing the damaged snow sledges at any time to keep the snow sledges in normal operation.

"Meet Manager Chen!" When Lin Chuanfu arrived, he respectfully saluted Chen Ying.

Chen Yingdao: "Inspector Lin, don't be polite, this general came to you because he wanted you to build something!"

As he said that, Chen Ying drew the skis that he vaguely remembered. The technical difficulty of skis and ski poles is not high. Even without alloys and plastics, they should be able to be made under the existing conditions.

About an hour after Lin Chuanfu left with Chen Ying's drawings, he delivered the skis and poles to Chen Ying.Chen Ying looked at this pair of skis. The skis are made of Tuo wood used to make sleds, and the bottom surface is polished as smooth as a mirror. As for the mechanism for buckling the shoes, Lin Chuanfu played a little trick. He made a mechanism similar to a mouse trap. , People stand on the skis, the mechanism starts, and the clips made of steel on both sides will clamp the soles.

The clip releases automatically when the shut-off mechanism is turned back to its original position with a ski pole.

Chen Ying couldn't wait to put on the skis and started skating in the camp despite the cold weather.

Seeing this, Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui were very surprised.

"I'm just playing around. If I practice well, I can run faster than a horse with this thing!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Shigui, you go pick thirty healthy soldiers, learn how to ski quickly, and prepare to be strong. State City!"

……

Inside Lingzhou City, Guo Zihe, Duke of Jinhe County and Governor of Lingzhou, stood on the city wall with a helpless expression on his face.Guo Zihe is now nearly 33 years old, and he is in his prime. However, from the appearance of Guo Zihe at this time, some people believe that he is 50 years old.His face was full of dimples, his beard and eyebrows were as white as frost.

Ever since King Yongle, who was originally the king of the 36 anti-kings at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Guo Zihe had no ambition to win the world and was oppressed by Liang Shidu, he asked Chang'an Li Yuan to surrender.

Li Yuan made him the Duke of Jinhe County in Lingzhou and the governor of Lingzhou.However, he had just arrived in Lingzhou, before the seat of the governor of Lingzhou was filled, Liang Shidu led his troops to the city of Lingzhou.Youdao is that the enemy is extremely jealous when they meet. Seeing Liang Shidu coming in person, Guo Zihe didn't defend and counterattacked.

But he did not expect that Liang Shidu actually moved out of the Turks.When the Turks appeared in Lingzhou, he hurriedly asked Chang'an for help.Calculating the time, Chang'an's reinforcements should also arrive.He led the soldiers and civilians of Lingzhou to fight bloody battles for nearly two months, but finally did not let Liang Shidu's soldiers and horses attack the city.
