Chapter 150 Omission! Food storage problem
The most vulnerable place to injury is the horse's hoof. With the protection of horseshoes, firstly, it can prevent the damage of horseshoes caused by sharp bulge on the ground, and secondly, it can also reduce the wear of horseshoes.
"Wonderful, it's really wonderful." The night couldn't help dancing on the war horse.
The horse suddenly slowed down and threw him out of the horse.
The night only had time to adjust its posture slightly, so he landed on all fours and nibbled a mouthful of mud and snow. Thanks to the body absorbing Yuanjing and crystal power, it has improved a lot. If it was still the previous physique of an earthman, wouldn't it be more than half of his life?
The night got up from the ground and pricked a lot of gravel on the palm of his hand. The knee rubbed so hard that there was a big hole in the trousers. The mudstone and snow poured in through the hole, and it was so cold.
After this fall, the night decided to increase the mind of pedaling more firmly.
Not surprisingly, he will have the first real cavalry on this continent. That guy Wei Wuji must be laughing so hard that he can't close his mouth.
patted the dirt and ice and snow on his body, and rushed to the edge of the horse at night. Re-enter the horse to check the process of building a mountain road in the west.
It didn't take long to rush to the hot construction site.
From a distance, a sloping ramp already looks like it. The ramp is dug on the mountain, with a width of four meters, a drop of more than 30 meters, and a slope between 30 degrees and 45 degrees.
Zhao Yibiao saw the night in the distance and rode a horse to greet him.
"Lord!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Zilong."
Zhao Yibiao was surprised to see that the night was covered with mud and a big hole in his knee.
The night didn't care and said casually, "I'm planning to improve the cavalry. I just did some experiments immediately, and the effect was remarkable. Let's talk about this later. How is the road repair going now?
As the night said, he rode his horse closer to Zhao Yibiao. Zhao Yibiao turned his horse's head and walked with the night: "Master, although the tools are simple, they can't stand many people. The ramp is almost repaired, and the roads in the mountain are also being cleaned.
"Uh-huh!" The night nodded with satisfaction, "The road in the mountains is not in a hurry to be built, as long as the road that can be passed by the carriage is temporarily cleared. Is it feasible to start in the afternoon?"
Zhao Yibiao raised the reins and affirmed, "Ten teams of soldiers went into the mountain to clean up. In a morning, they could probably open up one or two miles. However, I have found someone to calculate. It will take more than 10 miles from the mountains to Death Valley.
"In that case, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the footing point tonight?" The night sighed.
Zhao Yibiao was also a little worried and looked up at the sun in the sky. It was still early before noon, and he looked at the ramp under construction.
In the cold weather, the soldiers sweated like rain.
They used some hard weapons to loosen the rocks, and then pushed them directly to the bottom of the mountain. Although the tools are simple, these people are powerful, so it is not too difficult to build.
The night looked at it for a while and said to Zhao Yibiao, "After the ramp is completed, all the manpower will be used to open up the mountain road. I will send Hawke, Xiaoxin and Qingyue to help. Hawker is big, Xiaoxin's water system can make up for leaks, and it is easy to clean up the vegetation in Qingyue. As soon as noon passes, I will go into the mountain immediately.
"Okay," Zhao Yibiao has no rebuttal.
"You can hand it over with Wei, and leave the matter here to him. Come back to the camp with me and prepare to pull out the camp. The night asked Zhao Yibiao.
Zhao Yibiao answered and pulled his horse to the bottom of the mountain. He rose into the sky, took a little strength on the mountain, and jumped up the mountain with only three or five vertical leaps.
After the delivery with Wei, he returned to the mountain. Zhao Yibiao jumped on the horse's back, shook the reins, and chased the back of the night.
More than ten miles away, fast running, just a few minutes.
By the time the two returned to the camp, the crowd of people in black had already dispersed. Shen Kun had already finished the interrogation, and those people were also detained.
He left his horse at night and returned to the military tent.
Zhao Yibiao followed. There must be something wrong with being called back this time.
"Wind chime," the night shouted.
"Here we go!" A crisp response came from the distance.
"Help me find Wang Xiuhui and Yu Lin," the night motioned to let Zhao Yibiao sit down and let the wind chime call people.
At night, he took the teapot on the case, poured two bowls of water, brought a bowl to Zhao Yibiao, and drank one by himself. Taking a breath, he asked, "Zilong, how was the rations for the soldiers when you were on duty under Viscount Lu before?"
Zhao Yibiao drank a few sips of water and quickly put the bowl away. He looked up and said, "My lord, 5 liters of corn per day during the war. If there is no war, provide 3 liters of corn daily, with vegetables, and a small amount of meat. When Yi Biao is depressed, the supply is deducted, and often you can't eat a piece of meat for half a month..."
When it comes to the unfair treatment he has suffered in the past, Zhao Yibiao sighed.
The night was not in the mood to accompany him. When I rode out just now, I found the soldiers feeding the horses bean cakes. He suddenly realized that he had almost overlooked an extremely important thing.
That's about food. He doesn't know how much food he still has.
Now there are about 350 people under his hands, and there are nearly 450 horses, which consumes a lot every day.
If it's okay near the city, you can buy grain, but in this barren mountains, food has become a big problem. I ate part of the food I brought along the way. In order to load the gold treasure, I gave up part of it. Now there is not much left.
Ordinary people consume about 1 catty of grain every day. But the army is different. It consumes a lot of physical strength and eats a lot more.
The rise of the ancient system is that the volume unit is relatively small. In terms of conversion to the metric system, a liter of grain is about 6 taels. According to Zhao Yibiao, in the past, a soldier consumed at least 3 catties of grain when fighting. When you don't fight, it's about 1.8 pounds.
Now there is a lot of gold jewelry, but it can't be used to fill the stomach. In this season, it is not easy to buy food. We have to find some ways.
The night meditated for a moment, and then asked Zhao Yibiao about other supplies. For example, meat, miscellaneous grains, seasonings, etc. consumed every day.
It wasn't long before Yu Lin and Wang Xiuhui arrived. There was no time to greet at night, and he directly asked the current soldiers how much food they eat: "Xiuhui, how much food do soldiers eat a day now? Yu Lin, please help me calculate it together."
Seeing Yu Lin nodding and responding, Wang Xiuhui quickly said, "In the past, a soldier needed three to three and a half catties of food a day. But recently, the consumption has been large, and the amount of food has increased a lot than before. A soldier needs four and a half kilograms of corn to eat every day.
The night nodded. Although the consumption was high, it was normal. First, the weather is cold, the intensity of exercise is high, and the consumption is high. Second, the average force of soldiers has increased a lot, and the demand for food has also increased a lot.
It's all rice buckets!
