Chapter 1076

"See general Hou!" Merton saw Hou Junji coming and immediately went forward.

Hou Junji's face changed. He immediately laughed and said, "is it possible that mohou is dissatisfied with the general? How can there be such a clever plan to march in the desert and hide it."

Merton said happily: "general Hou misunderstood. This desert March was an inspiration of Mo not long ago. Success or failure is still between us. At present, it is just the first test. How dare you disturb the general before it is successful!"

Hou Junji couldn't help looking forward and said, "how about the experiment of ink sacrifice now?"

Merton proudly said, "it's a great success. With this method, the carriage can cross the desert and never fear falling into quicksand."

"Seriously, ink sacrifice is not going to popularize this method soon, but we are suffering from quicksand!" Niu JINDA complained in a loud voice.

"However, the Mohist school is famous for its ink skills. We have admired it for a long time!" Xue Wanjun followed.

The fact that the firearms warden came from behind not only alerted Hou Junji, but also other military generals came to explore. You know, almost all the troops were struggling to march in the desert. Now I heard that mojiazi could march from behind in the desert and overtake 30 miles in a day. I naturally understand that Merton must have mastered the marching method they didn't know, Naturally, I can't wait to ask for advice.

Merton said with a wry smile, "this is just the old skill of mo before. You can see it at a glance."

Under the leadership of Merton, a group of generals came to the motorcade outside the firearm prison. They saw that the car was still the same car, but the wheels made everyone frown.

"I've never seen such a wheel in my life?" Niu JINDA turned twice around the wheel of the firearm supervision carriage.

The wheels of ordinary carriages are two wheeled carriages. Later, mojiazi developed four wheeled carriages. However, for multi-functional transportation and super heavy load, the army directly added eight wheeled carriages, and each wheel is extremely wide. However, the carriages of the firearm supervisor are even more different. The wheels have been removed and become a long oval ribbon wheel, It is the track wheel of later generations.

The carriage of the firearm supervisor has a lot of load, but the crawler wheel only sinks slightly. When walking, the crawler rotates continuously to drive the carriage forward smoothly. Naturally, the speed is slower than that of the wheels on the normal road. However, in the desert, the advantages of the crawler wheel are obvious. Walking on the sand is like flat land, which is hundreds of times stronger than the wheels that sink into the sand, Much faster.

"This car and sleigh are really similar!" Xue Wanjun exclaimed.

"What general Xue said is very true. This is the idea that Mo had after he marched on the snow road. Since the wide sledge can slide on the wide snow, it can also bear the load on the sand. However, the sand can not be as smooth as snow, so Mo thought of the crawler wheel. In this way, he can not only have a wide bearing surface, but also move forward, which can be solved The plight of the desert March sinking, "Merton explained.

The generals couldn't help sighing that mojiazi was worthy of being mojiazi. Indeed, it was a series of tricks that opened their eyes,

No one can imagine that the two seemingly improbable schemes of snow March and Gobi Desert March are the same. Both of them use Merton's winter hats and gloves to survive the cold.

When marching in the snow, mojiazi used the chariot of the spring and Autumn period to attack the snow. Later, Hou Junji imitated the chariot of mojiazi to attack the snow, creating an enhanced version of the chariot to attack the snow and directly push the frozen snow away.

Mojiazi's chariot couldn't break through the frozen snow, so he came up with the method of horse sledge skiing, which was even more ingenious. With this method, he solved the problem of marching in the desert.

Hou Junji was still proud to imitate the Mexican family's attack on the snow. Now it seems that Hou Junji just imitates his behavior, but does not imitate the God of Merton, which is quite funny.

"The caterpillar wheel of Mo sacrifice wine is really wonderful, but this is a vast desert. There are no trees and blacksmiths. It's too late to improve now!" Xin liao'er snorted coldly.

Merton shook his head and said: "It's not too late. We just need to know that the larger the contact area between the wheels and the sand in the desert, most of your wheels are eight wheeled carriages, which are enough to pass through most of the sand. If it's soft sand, it can also be passed by spreading a wide wooden board. If the carriage is trapped in the sand, but it can also escape the sand pit by tying a wooden stick on the wheels to enhance the grip 。”

The generals nodded one after another. They were really troubled. Merton's method could not make them use crawler wheels, but it could also make them pass through the desert smoothly.

"Of course, I'm afraid this is the last time I'm trapped in the desert in Datang. In the future, even if it's 800 miles in the vast sea, with this crawler wheel, our soldiers can still be like a smooth road." Merton solemnly said.

The generals nodded one after another.

Hou Junji took a complicated look at mojiazi and said, "since the firearms supervisor has kept up, the whole army continues to set out and strive to cross the desert as fast as possible."

"Yes!" the generals answered in unison.

Immediately, the western expedition army continued to set off, and everyone went all out to March and race against time.

Ten days later, the army finally crossed the sand. Everyone was relieved. As long as they crossed the sand, their marching speed would be greatly accelerated.

"Why is there only a little water here?" when 100000 troops arrived at the nearest supply point, Hou Junji was furious when he saw the water source with only a little ice.

The two thousand mile Gobi Desert does not have any water at all. With the efforts of the merchants of the Silk Road, there will also be sporadic water sources in the two thousand mile Gobi desert. Hou Junji had already collected enough information about the water sources of the Gobi desert before the March.

However, although there is water in the Gobi desert, it is also extremely limited. It can alleviate the current situation of water shortage in the army as much as possible. A little spring water can indeed meet the needs of business travel. However, it is impossible to meet the water demand of 100000 troops.

"Maybe it's too cold in winter and the spring water is frozen, blocking the spring." Xue Wanjun looked at the water source carefully and said with a gloomy face. This is a water replenishment point that the army attaches most importance to. If it can't replenish enough water here, the army may fall into crisis.

Hou Junji said reluctantly, "try your best to collect spring water, even ice, and then continue to March."

Now they have no way back, they can only go their own way and march with all their strength. In history, there is not no example of a large army marching westward through the vast Gobi, so Hou Junji can lead the army through the Gobi desert.

"Yes!" the generals answered.

Fortunately, there is still some ice water in this spring. In addition, the army has collected enough snow water. The amount of drinking water of soldiers along the road is strictly controlled, so as not to fall into a dead end.

Rao is so. The army has passed several water replenishment points in a row, but it is still not optimistic. The spring here either has too little water source because of ice, or it is extremely limited and not enough at all.

With the continuous progress of the army, the stored water is less and less. Even if the whole army has tried its best to control the water, it will soon reach the end of the mountain and water.

Hou Junji couldn't help but look embarrassed. He didn't expect that the army fell into such a dangerous situation in the early spring when he thought his plan would succeed.
