{Thank you friend xiaohxiao for the tip} Song Yuan and Xun Guan both looked at Lu Huizhi with incredible eyes, this is simply a living map, and Lu Huizhi's beautiful eyes also showed a little color.
Yang Yan knew the reason, this woman was thinking nonsense all day long, reading everything, just in response to the old saying of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Zhongyu City in the center of the river.
The smoky ruins of the broken wall, as if telling the former Jin Ge iron horse and continuous war, four big iron oxen on both sides of the strait, now there are only three left, two in front of Linjin Pass, one in front of Puban Pass, are all dumped to the ground, rusty, can not see the original face, these three iron bulls, with a strong sense of history, from them, it seems to have come to the early years of QJ two places, the noise of people and cars.
The women followed Yang Yan one after another, and felt the cangsang, and for a while, they were all a little distracted, Xun Guan couldn't help but say: "Yang Yanzhi, in the future, you will have to build another pontoon bridge to facilitate the exchange between QJ." ” Yang Yan also knows that the pontoon bridge in Pubanguan is built and destroyed, and during the general unification period, the court will pay for the construction of the bridge, and it will inevitably be burned during the war, and the last pontoon bridge in history will be destroyed in the Jin Kingdom, but he still nodded and said: "This is for sure, take down the state, and arrange for Houli to cooperate with Liang Zhi to build the bridge, and strive to make the moat change again within three years."
Xun Guan showed a look of satisfaction, his eyes stopped on the two big iron oxen not far away, and suddenly he had an idea, and asked: "This iron ox seems to have at least 100,000 catties, and it can't be moved, and the other five shouldn't fall into the river, if they can be salvaged, wouldn't it save the time of recasting?"
Lu Huizhi shook her head: "It should be difficult, although it costs a lot of money to salvage and recast such a heavy weight, it is at least easier." ” Yang Yan's heart moved, and an anecdote in the history of the Song Dynasty came to mind.
Song Renzong Jiayou eight years, the river swelled, fixed the pontoon bridge of the iron ox was washed into the bottom of the river, the official recruit can come out, there is a monk named Huai Bing, proficient in buoyancy and the principle of leverage, then self-recommendation, with two big boats solid soil, with big wood as a trade-off hook ox, Xu to its soil, boat floating ox out.
It is only necessary to determine the position of the iron ox in the river, and it is impossible for such a heavy iron ox to fall into the water naturally, most likely when the pontoon bridge was burned, it was pushed into the river, so it must be not far from the river bank.
Yang Yan smiled slightly: "This is not difficult, early tomorrow morning, let people go into the water to find out the location of the iron bull, I have a way to fish out the iron bull on the west bank first." ” "Oh" Xun Guan sighed lightly, obviously not believing it, Lu Huizhi, Song Yuan and Jin Yuehua also had a faint look of doubt, dragging the iron ox weighing more than 100,000 catties from the river, how could it be done by manpower Yang Yan didn't explain for the time being, waved his hand and said: "It's not too early, let's go back, I'll roast the Yellow River carp for you to eat tonight."
The group returned to the camp, Yang Yan set up a grill, washed and peeled the big carp, put it on the fire, and after a while, there was a fragrance wafting, the drops of fat and oil fell, and the fire was full of salt, and then sprinkled with salt and pepper, and before it was eaten, it made people swallow saliva.
At the same time, Yang Yan's words about salvaging the big iron ox spread throughout the army like a gust of wind, except for the nearly 20,000 cavalry of the two Qiang clans who firmly believed that it was impossible, and the soldiers of the Ming army were full of expectations.
Early the next morning, the bank of the Yellow River was crowded, and several Qianniuwei dived underwater, and it was easy to determine the location of two big iron oxen, one was six zhang by the river bank, and the other was about ten zhang, but what made everyone itch was that Yang Yan did not start, but only ordered to build two huge flat-bottomed boats.
Shipbuilding is not an overnight effort, although Linjin is on the bank of the Yellow River, but suffers from no suitable boat, except for some small fishing boats will occasionally cautiously sneak into the river, look around, there is almost no sail shadow on the surging water, the current situation is like the Qin and Wei during the Warring States Period, the east bank is owned by Zhao, and the west bank belongs to the Ming Kingdom.
Unconsciously, half a month has passed, two flat-bottomed boats can be built, on the bank of the Yellow River, once again surrounded by three layers of inner and outer three layers, everyone is very curious, how to fish out the iron ox trapped in the mud After all, it is resting on flat ground, and a few logs can be placed under it to push the iron ox to move, but this is a river, and it is buried by mud and sand.
Six miles away, Pusaka saw the battle on the opposite side, and it was also full of troops, and they couldn't figure out what the army was going to do.
Two large flat-bottomed ships anchored at the shore, and the soldiers carried a load of earth and stones to the ship, and the ship sank slowly little by little.
Seeing this incomprehensible scene, Song Yuan couldn't help asking: "Lang Jun, why do you have to carry soil to the boat to salvage the iron ox, and what is the connection between it, the boat is almost full."
Yang Yan said with a smile: "You look at it first, it will open your eyes" "Oh" Song Yuan reluctantly responded, revealing full of disappointment.
"Hmph" Xun Guan snorted: "Song Niangzi, don't ask him, the more you ask him, the more proud he is, the more he won't say, you see, except for you, who of us asks him about you, don't get used to him" Song Yuan secretly glanced at Yang Yan and nodded, she liked this kind of atmosphere without any restraint, from a woman's point of view, Yang Yan is not the kind of ruthless and ruthless person who holds the power of life and death, nor is he the head of the family who keeps a straight face all day long, but in getting along, she is full of care and is also very good at adjusting the atmosphere, she doesn't know how to describe it.
In fact, in modern times, Yang Yan's behavior is the most standard way for couples to get along.
"Hey" Song Hao sighed secretly, if she met Tan Lang, it might be impossible for her to still maintain her virgin body, but why couldn't she be a few years earlier, especially when Sima Shao gave her to Yang Yan as a gift, which was a thorn in her heart that was difficult to remove.
"Stop" At this time, a loud shout came from the front, Song Yuan looked up, the soldiers stopped carrying soil to the boat, and the two ships slowly sailed to the shore, and the river did not reach a height of only one foot above the side of the ship, as if a slightly larger wave could overturn the boat, making people unconsciously pinch the cold sweat in their palms.
The two boats stopped six feet from the river bank, and the iron bull sunk to the bottom of the water was clamped between the left and the right, and on the side of the boat facing the iron bull, each stretched out five long poles, each of which was held tightly by five strong sergeants.
The ten long poles were not wooden, but trebuchet poles with large iron hooks at the top.
Compared with ordinary wooden poles, the poles are made of composites, which are tougher and stronger, and can carry more loads, but the disadvantage is that the time to enter the water is not long, but this is not too much of a problem, and the poles can be replaced at any time.
"Launched" Another loud shout Five men from each boat who were proficient in water dived into the river with the other end of the pole, and they would hook the iron oxen with iron hooks.
After a short time, the poles stopped swinging one after another, stabbing into the river in a great arc, and ten people also surfaced one after another, making a gesture of yes "Dirt Stripping" In the drinking order, the soldiers picked up the shovel and quickly shoveled the mud and stones into the river, everyone was stunned, and they were full and had to shovel it out But it's just a reassuring thought, no one dares to say it in public.
Xun Guan suddenly realized: "Isn't this similar to Cao Chong's claim to be an elephant: when Sun Quan once caused a giant elephant, Taizu wanted to know its weight, and visited the group, Xian Mo could not make sense, Chong said: Put it on the elephant boat, and carve its water marks, weigh the thing to carry it, then the school can know, Taizu Dayue, that is, the implementation of Yan, heh, I still think what is the best way." ” "Snort" Yang Yan chuckled: "The laws of the world, there are only a few that we can understand and use, clichés are not the point, the focus is to learn and apply, you mean that I pick up the teeth of my predecessors, yes, but it's better than some people slower than some people, some people, hey" As he spoke, he shook his head again and again.
Xun Guan's face turned red instantly, but he was speechless, and he twisted Yang Yan's waist and eyes fiercely without anger.
Everyone was secretly amused, but they still admired Yang Yan, which is similar to the principle of Cao Chong's elephant, which uses the buoyancy of water, as he himself said.
Yang Yan saw the eyes that were cast one after another, and his heart was greatly used, but the surface was not moved, his eyes stared at the river, as the mud on the boat decreased, the curvature of the tip rod also increased slightly, and the boat was slowly rising.
"Gollum" In the waves, a string of blisters suddenly appeared, and Yang Yan couldn't help but exclaim: "Work hard, it's coming out soon."
Everyone looked over without blinking, and the soldiers were also full of energy, and their hands were as fast as flying.
The blisters became more and more widespread, and then in a muffled buzzing sound, the position of the iron bull was covered with obvious silt, and the pole was bent to the maximum "It's out" Ren Hui exclaimed in disbelief A dark shadow appeared below the surface of the water, it wasn't the Big Iron Bull or something:
