Mohist Tang

“The snow is so heavy today, it seems that there will be no more soldiers going to Yumen Pass today.” Wuwei City East city gate, a soldier guarding the city gate looked at the city The snow boiled outside the gate, could not help sighing.

Since the Western Expedition, a large number of soldiers and forage have passed through Wuwei. The peaceful Wuwei City was broken, and the whole Wuwei became extremely busy because of the Western Expedition to Gaochang.

Recently, heavy snow has closed the road. With such a heavy snow, even the birds and beasts have not been found, let alone the people, so that Wuwei City, which has been busy for many days, has finally restored its tranquility.

“This is natural, such heavy snow, I am afraid it is rare in recent years, even with horses, it is extremely difficult to walk, and the weather is so cold, even the iron man can not bear it!” Companion nodded and said, in this horrible weather, everyone in Wuwei City hides in the house to keep out the cold. If it weren’t for their military affairs, they wouldn’t suffer here.

“Fortunately, there is a military coat, it is not as cold as in previous years.” The goalkeeper patted himself with a military coat. This is the most popular military coat this year. It is extremely cold. This year’s goalkeeping mission is With this baby, it won’t be so difficult.

“yes!” The companion wrapped himself in the military coat, thinking about the cold of previous years, nodded with lingering fears.

The sky was getting dark, and it was about to get dark. The gatekeeper looked at the snowflakes in the sky constantly falling, frowns saying: “It’s getting late, and it’s impossible for another army to come. Let’s close the city gate!”

The goalkeeper turned around, but his companion was motionless, staring straight at the end of the snowy road.

“What’s wrong?” the goalkeeper astonished said.

“Carriage is coming!” the companion said in surprise.

The goalkeeper suddenly turned around. At the end of the snowy road, a 16-passenger Carriage stepped in the snow. Behind him, two snow dragons lined up in two rows.

Soon, the 16-passenger Carriage has reached the gate of Wuwei City, and then the second one, and the third 16th-passenger Carriage with weird shape also arrived. I saw the original footsteps in full view. The difficult snow road turned into a snowy area only a few fingers thick, enough for a horse to pass without hindrance.

“It’s amazing!”

“In this way, even if the snow is heavy, the army can still move forward as usual.”

The two exclaimed.

Sure enough, behind the three Carriages, an army covered in snow came on the snow. The strangest thing was that this army all wore weird hats, covering the head and ears, and most of the Face, no wonder you can march in such a snowy weather.

“Dare to ask, but escort General Liangcaosu!” The gatekeeper asked respectfully, looking at the huge bet in front of Carriage.

Since the West Expedition to Gaochang, Su Dingfang’s power has gradually spread on the Longhai Line. His escort of grain and grass has never been out of date, and it is extremely fast, and has been recognized by everyone.

“Firearms Squad is leading the army, and Wuwei City is invited to receive it.” Xue Rengui stepped forward and said loudly.

“Firearms Squad!”

“Mohist Family Son!”

“It is A certain Mohist!” Suddenly a hearty voice came.

“Happy New Year Marquis of Mo!”

The two gatekeepers and soldiers exclaimed and saluted. If there are people on the Longhai Line who are more famous than Su Ding, then Mohist Family Son must be one of them.

The name of Mohist Family Son is naturally well known, not to mention that the brick road at their feet is the first of Marquis of Mo, and it is said that Su Dingfangs method of transporting grain is due to the guidance of Marquis of Mo .

Today, the two once again saw the magic of Mohist Family Son, and they used war chariot to attack the snow.

“Get up, you can perform your duties in heavy snow and weather, and you can be considered a conscientious person.” Mo Dun nodded praised.

“many thanks Marquis of Mo.” The two goalkeepers could not help but be overjoyed. They were praised by Mohist Family Son, and they would definitely become their own boasting capital in the future.

Wuwei City is an important town. Most soldiers in the past rest and rehabilitate here. There has long been a camp to receive soldiers. Firearms Squad has only a thousand people, so naturally it can be easily placed.

After the two gatekeepers verified that Firearms Squads waist token was correct, only the soldiers led Firearms Squad to camp.

After the soldiers of Firearms Squad left, the news that Mohist Family Son had attacked the snow immediately spread throughout Wuwei City. Many people came to watch the brick road in the snow and saw three left and right. The extremely smooth ski trails between the snow ridges can’t help but be breathtaking.

One night cold wind whistling, there was a lot of snow and wind, when the 2nd day was bright, the wind and snow finally stopped, the camp was covered with a thick layer of snow, even the war chariot opened yesterday The snow road has also been completely covered.

“Snow stopped!”

The entire Firearms Squad cheered. The heavy snow stopped, and they finally didnt have to go on the snow anymore, although they had Marquis of Mo hats and gloves , Enough to keep them out of the cold, but advancing in the snow makes them suffer.

In the camp, Mo Dun could not help showing a hint of joy when he heard the news that the wind and snow had stopped.

“Lord Libation Chancellor, the major event is not good.” Xue Rengui hurried over with a solemn expression.

Mo Dun frowned and asked: “What’s the matter?”

“My lord, although the wind and snow have stopped now, the weather is getting colder and the snow on the official road has frozen The snow attacker can no longer move.” Xue Rengui said bitterly.

Mo Dun’s heart sank: “The snow is freezing.”

“The humble post originally wanted to let the snow attacker go ahead, but he didn’t expect it but couldn’t push it.” Xue Rengui shook his head. Although the snowstorm was heavy yesterday, the snow was extremely soft, and the 16-horse-horse snow attack vehicle opened smoothly.

Now the snow is freezing, even the 16-horse horse-drawn snow attack vehicle has little effect and is extremely slow.

Mo Dun walked out of the military tent, suddenly a chill assaults the senses, and he didnt care at all. He went directly to the brick road and touched the snow on the ground. No matter how loose it is, it takes a little effort to get it loose.

This strength is of course nothing to humans. However, with so much snow on the official road, even the sixteen horses will quickly run out of strength and will not go far.

“Lord Libation Chancellor, not equal to me. We are now camping in Wuwei City, and wait until the snow has melted before we set off.” Xue Rengui said helplessly.

Now that the roads are blocked by heavy snow, the weather is very cold, and the snow is freezing again, it has become extremely difficult to attack the snow even with a car, and it is not enough for the army to pass.

Mo Dun pointed to the mud official road on both sides of the brick road, shook his head and said: “Absolutely not, you know that there are not many brick roads after Wuwei. Once the snow melts, when the time comes, the official road will definitely Become muddy, the march will be more severe than it is now.”

Xue Rengui’s heart sank suddenly. He only thought that the heavy snow and ice would be difficult, but he did not consider that when the snow melted, Firearms Squad might have to Facing a more severe test, the brick road from Lanzhou to Yumen Pass is only half built. After Wuwei is not very long, the brick road has been exhausted. Firearms Squad has a lot of weight, and it may be even more difficult on muddy roads. go.

“In this way, Firearms Squad may not be able to escape the crime of losing time.” Xue Rengui solemnly said.

Mo Dun suddenly stood up and said: “Firearms Squad can’t bear the crime of loss of time. There must be a way.”

“Humble job, let’s call the horses to rotate. , Even if the snow is hard, the humble position will open the road.” Xue Rengui helplessly said.

“No, since it is useless to attack the snow with war chariot, even if it is forced to open, it will not help. It will not go far.” Mo Dun shook his head.

“You can’t walk, you can’t walk.” Xue Rengui was anxious like a hot pot ant.

At this moment, the 16-pass war chariot that was opening in front suddenly heard an exclamation. I saw that the thick snow made the war chariot built in a hurry no longer bear the load, and the board was straight. Loose and broken.

“Young Master, the villain is incompetent, let Young Master disappointed.” Zhang Mu brought a broken wooden board to Mo Dun and said dejectedly.

Mo Dun took the board and looked at the nails on it, suddenly his heart moved: “You can know why nails can be easily nailed into the board.”

” That’s because the nails are sharp!” Zhang Mu replied.

Mo Dun said with a smile: “Yes, that’s because the nails are very sharp. If you compare this snowy ground to a plank, and our legs are nails, we can easily sink in. But what if that?”

Mo Dun threw the board in his hand flat on the snow, then jumped and stepped onto the board. Under the influence of the board, even if it bears Mo Duns body The weight was only slightly sinking, and it was completely supported and no longer sinking.

“What is going on?” Xue Rengui asked puzzled.

“This is the force studied by the Mohist Family. The smaller the contact point between an object and other items, the higher the pressure, and it is easy to penetrate, and the larger the contact area, the lower the pressure, and it is not easy to wear. Through.” Mo Dun explained.

Mo Dun finished speaking, but found silence. When he looked back, everyone was confused. He suddenly understood that he was playing the lute for a cow. He could not help but said with a smile. “This is the same reason we want to sharpen our swords.”

“Oh!” This time, all Firearms Squad officers suddenly realized.

“I know that it’s okay to cut bones with a freshly sharpened knife, but it is difficult to cut meat with a dull knife.” Xue Rengui looked enlightenment.

Mo Dun helplessly said: “There is a truth, this time the sudden cold caused the ice and snow to solidify, which not only increased the hardness, but also increased the bearing capacity. I only need to replace the wheels under the car with large wooden boards. In this way, Carriage will not fall into the snow.”

Zhang Mu stunned and said: “Carriage has no wheels, how can it run?”

Xue Rengui immediately looked at Zhang Mudao with contempt: “Zhang Mu, you are really the head of Elm. In winter, haven’t you played on the ice in the river? It is extremely slippery. One person can pull a few people without using too much energy, and the sky is full of snow. , Isnt it just a thick layer of ice?”

Zhang Mu suddenly realized, and excitedly said: “Yes, I can also polish the bottom of the board, which will make it smoother and save effort.”

p>

“You can also tilt the two ends of the plank, but press the snow in the front under the car to prevent the ice and snow from clogging in the front.”

The more he talks, the more excited Zhang Mu, and more and more inspiration .

“Very good, this time we have a horse-drawn sled.” Xue Rengui said with a big smile, but he didn’t know what he said that he had just got the name of the sled right.

Other Firearms Squad soldiers were also proud, and they admired Lord Libation Chancellor as prostrate oneself in admiration, as if there was nothing in the world that could stump him.
