Mohist Tang

“pay respects to General Hou!” Mo Dun saw Hou Junji coming, and immediately greeted him.

Hou Junji’s face changed, and he immediately said with a smile: “Marquis of Mo is dissatisfied with this General, how can such a desert marching trick be hidden.”

Mo Dun was not afraid to say: “General Hou has misunderstood. This desert march was an inspiration from A certain Mohist not long ago. Success and failure are still in between. It is only the first experiment. How dare you alarm the general when you succeed!”

Hou Junji couldn’t help but look forward to asking: “So how is Chancellor Mo experimenting now?”

Mo Dun proudly said: “Great success, With this method, Carriage is enough to cross the desert and never fear to fall into the quicksand.”

“Really, Chancellor Mo is not ready to popularize this method, but I am still suffering from the quicksand!” Niu Jinda said with a loud voice, complaining.

“Also, Mohist Family Mohist Technology is famous, and I have been waiting for it for a long time!” Xue Wanjun followed.

Firearms Squad was more than a surprise to Hou Junji. Other generals also came to investigate. You must know that almost all the troops are marching in the desert. At this moment, I heard that Mohist Family Son can be in the desert. The middle march came from behind, overtaking 30 li in one day, naturally knowing that Mo Dun must have mastered the marching method they didn’t know, and the impatient came to ask for advice.

Mo Dun said with a bitter smile: “This is the old trick of A certain Mohist, everyone will know when you see it.”

Under the leadership of Mo Dun, The general came outside of the Firearms Squad fleet, and saw that the car was still that car, but the wheels made everyone frowned.

“Is this kind of wheel old man still the only thing in my life?” Niu Jinda turned around the wheel of Firearms Squad Carriage twice, and couldn’t help but click one’s tongue in wonder.

The wheels of ordinary Carriage are two-wheeled Carriage. Later, Mohist Family Son Research & Development has four-wheeled Carriage. However, for the purpose of multi-functional transportation in the military, coupled with super load, it directly increases Carriage of eight wheels, and each wheel is extremely wide, while Carriage of Firearms Squad is even more different. The wheels have been removed and turned into a long oval belt-shaped wheel, which is indeed a later-generation crawler wheel.

The Carriage of Firearms Squad has a lot of load, but the crawler wheels only sink slightly. When walking, the crawler continues to rotate, driving the Carriage to move forward steadily, and the speed is naturally faster than using wheels on normal roads. Slow, but in the desert, the advantages of tracked wheels are fully displayed. Walking on the sand is like a flat ground. It is a hundred times stronger than a wheel that is sunk in the sand when you walk, and it is much faster.

“This car and the sled are really the same!” Xue Wanjun admired.

“General Xue said that this is exactly what A certain Mohist thought he had after marching on the snowy road. Since the big sled can be carried on the big snow, it is also on the sand. Load-bearing, but sand is naturally not as smooth as snow, so A certain Mohist thought of track-type wheels, so that it has a large load-bearing surface and can move forward, which can solve the dilemma of the desert march.” Mo Dun explained.

The generals couldnt help sighing again and again. Mohist Family Son deserves to be Mohist Family Son. It is indeed a strange trick that opened their eyes.

No one can think of snow marches and Gobi. The two seemingly overwhelming plans for March on the Beach are exactly the same. Both use winter hats and gloves designed by Mo Dun to survive the extreme cold.

During the snow march, Mohist Family Son used the war chariot of the Spring and Autumn Period to attack the snow, and then Hou Junji imitated the Mohist Family Son’s snow attack, creating an enhanced version of the war chariot. Push the frozen snow directly away.

While Mohist Family Sons war chariot was unable to break through the frozen snow, he came up with a horse-drawn sled skiing method, and even more ingeniously used this method to solve the problem of marching in the desert.

Hou Junji was still proud to imitate Mohist Family Son’s snow attack. Now it seems that Hou Junji is just imitating his behavior, and not at all imitates the god of Mo Dun, which is quite refreshing. Funny monkey crowned.

“Chancellor Mo’s tracked wheels are indeed wonderful, but this is a vast desert with no trees and two blacksmiths. It is too late to improve now!” Xin Liao’er coldly snorted and said.

Mo Dun shook his head and said: Its not too late. I just need to know that the greater the contact area between the wheels in the desert and the sand. Most of the wheels in the desert are 8-wheel Carriage, enough to pass most of the sand. The ground, if its a soft sand, but spread with a wide plank, you can also let the Carriage pass, if the Carriage is stuck in the sand, but tie a wooden stick on the wheel to increase the grip, and you can also escape the sand pit “

A group of generals are nodded. They are indeed in trouble. Although Mo Dun’s method does not allow them to use tracked wheels, it also allows them to pass through the desert smoothly.

“Of course, this is probably the last time my Great Tang is trapped in the desert. Even if it is eight hundred miles of the sea in the future, with this tracked wheel, our soldiers can still be as smooth as possible.” Mo Dun seriously said.

The generals are nodded.

Hou Junji took a complicated look at Mohist Family Son and said: “Since the Firearms Squad has caught up, the whole army continues to set off and strive to cross this desert as fast as possible.”

“Yes!” The generals responded in unison.

Suddenly the western expedition continued to set off, and everyone went all out to march against time.

Ten days later, the army finally crossed this piece of sand. Everyone was heavily sighed in relief. As long as they passed the sand, their marching speed would be greatly accelerated.

“Why is there only so much water here?” When the hundred thousand army reached the nearest supply point, Hou Junji saw the water source with only a little ice, and couldn’t help but jump like Thunder Dao.

Two thousand miles of the Gobi Desert is not without water. With the efforts of the Silk Road merchants, there will be sporadic water sources in the two thousand miles of the Gobi Desert. Before marching, Hou Junji had already collected enough. Information on water sources in the Gobi Desert.

Although there is water in the Gobi Desert, it is also extremely limited. It can alleviate the shortage of water for the army. A little spring water can indeed meet the needs of business travelers, but it wants to meet the hundreds of thousands of army. I am afraid that the water is impossible.

“It may be that the winter is too cold, and the spring is blocked by the freezing of the spring.” Xue Wanjun carefully checked the water source and said with a gloomy face. This is the most important water replenishment point for the army. Once the place cannot make up enough Water, the army may fall into crisis.

Hou Junji helplessly said: “Collect the spring water with all your strength, dont let it go even if its ice, and then continue marching.”

Now they have no turning back, they can only march with all their strength. In history, it is not that there is no case of the army passing through the Gobi desert, so Hou Junji can also lead the army through this Gobi desert.

“Yes!” Zhujiang answered.

Fortunately, there is still some ice water in this spring. In addition, the army has collected enough snow water before. Along the road, the soldiers’ drinking water is strictly controlled, so that things have reached a dead end. .

This is the case. The army has passed through several water replenishment points in a row, but it is still not optimistic. The spring here either has too little water because of freezing, or it is extremely limited and not enough.

As the army keeps advancing, the stored water is getting less and less. Even if the whole army has tried its best to control water use, it will soon be exhausted.

Hou Junji couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. He didn’t expect that he sent troops in the early spring when he thought his plan was successful, and that he would plunge the army into such a crisis.
