Outside Jinan City, the Yongsheng Dynasty army, which had been preparing for many days, finally began to take action.

Early that morning, when the hour of Mao arrived, tens of thousands of troops pushed out of the camp with chariots and artillery vehicles and headed straight for the north gate of Jinan City.

Of course, they were not going to attack the city. There was mud everywhere outside Jinan City at this moment, and chariots and artillery trucks could not be pushed over.

They just pushed the chariots and artillery chariots to the periphery of the mud and began to arrange troops.

Although they had not seen an enemy at this time, they were extremely cautious and their movements were quite quick. After a while of orders, the formation quickly formed without any drag.

However, the formation they arranged was a bit strange.

This formation is neither square nor circular, but rather a straight corridor that leads directly from the camp to the edge of the mud in the north of the city.

Zhu Qizhe led a group of generals to gallop in the formation and soon came to the mud.

He picked up his telescope and looked towards the north gate, then waved his hand and ordered: "Dingguo, let's start."

Another wave of order flags was waving, which was directly transmitted to the camp. Soon, tens of thousands of soldiers pushed thousands of chariots slowly from the direction of the camp.

These chariots are filled with stones, specially used to fill the mud.

After the first car of stones was pushed over, more than ten soldiers worked together to lift one side of the chariot and poured it into the mud. A slurry flew, and a car of stones sank into the mud and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, trucks of stones fell down, and a pile of rocks about two meters wide quickly piled up in the mud. At this time, it would be impossible to pour stones into it. The car was held back and could not fall down at all.

Li Dingguo waved his hand directly, and hundreds of soldiers who had already prepared were immediately rushed up with hoes and pushed them against the stones.

The stone pestle was quickly flattened, and a gravel road several meters long appeared on the edge of the mud.

However, it is extremely difficult for the chariots behind to pour the stones through this gravel road into the front.

Because the gravel road was rugged and the chariots loaded with stones were pressed up, the stones below would be squeezed into the mud on both sides, and the wheels would soon sink.

It would be difficult to push the chariot that was trapped in. It was full of stones. In addition, the weight of the chariot was not as heavy as a thousand pounds, so it would be difficult for ten people to push it.

The chariot in front could not move, and the chariot behind could not get on. The progress of the paving road suddenly seemed to be stuck and fell into stagnation.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhe frowned slightly and immediately ordered: "Dingguo, let them pour all the stones into the edge of the mud. I hope to bring your men over, carry the stones, and throw them into the mud in front."

As soon as Sun Kewang's men got on, the paving progress of the road was obviously faster. There were only so many stones in a car. Tens of thousands of people went to move them, and they were instantly cleared. The speed of the chariots pouring stones was even a little unable to keep up with the speed of their moving stones.

Tens of thousands of people carried stones and kept throwing them forward, and the gravel road immediately extended to the north gate of Jinan City at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the city gate tower, Hong Chengchou looked at all this with a confused look on his face, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.

What the hell is that lunatic doing?

At such a long distance, he couldn't see clearly. He could only see dense black dots moving back and forth in the mud, just like an ant moving.

As for what these ants were moving, he really couldn't see clearly.

The progress of laying the gravel road was still very fast. In less than an hour, the gravel road had already extended three or four miles. At this time, it had to be forked to pave both sides. The red-clothed cannons on the city wall were about to hit them.

With Zhu Qizhu's order, Sun Kewang's men began to throw the stones into the mud on both sides.

However, at this time, their speed of moving stones could not keep up with the speed of the chariots falling, because they had to run back and forth three or four miles on the rugged gravel road every time!

The speed of the gravel road extending to both sides slowed down significantly, and Sun Kewang's men also began to breathe heavily.

This rock is a physical job, and I keep moving for a while, which makes me feel a little exhausted.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhe ordered without hesitation: "Wenxiu, Nengqi, let's change your people to come up and move the stones. Wenxiu's subordinates fill in the left, Nengqi's subordinates fill in the right."

As soon as Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi got on, the paving speed was obviously faster. In less than two hours, the gravel roads extending from both sides were almost level with the city walls on the north side of Jinan City.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhe immediately ordered: "Okay, Wenxiu, Nengqi, I will order your people to go down and rest. Dingguo, let your people not carry large stones, prepare to replace gravel, fine sand and cement. I hope you can order your subordinates to go up the ladder."

Soon, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo's subordinates all retreated to the camp, but Sun Kewang's subordinates came over with a ladder that was more than three meters long.

These are the cloud ladders used to attack the city, but Sun Kewang had no choice but to carry the cloud ladder and rushed towards the city wall.

After his men carried the ladder over, he personally walked to the gravel road and ordered people to rake the ladder around both sides of the gravel road, and then pressed diagonally into the mud on both sides along the slope of the gravel on both sides, lined up neatly.

These ladders are actually used instead of wooden boards.

Generally, both sides of the cast cement road must be blocked with wooden boards in advance to prevent the cement mortar from flowing to both sides.

At this moment, I don’t have time to prepare a 20-30-mile-long wooden board. It just so happens that there are thick logs on both sides of the ladder. One side is stuffed into the mud and used to replace the baffle. It can be used as much as possible. Anyway, after using it, wash it and dry it, which can also be used to attack the city.

After the ladder is arranged, the concrete is stirred.

I happened to see the red utensils. The ratio of cement, fine sand and gravel in concrete is roughly one to two to three. As for whether it is the best ratio, it is not that important. Anyway, it is just paving a road.

He ordered people to find an open space on the edge of the mud to mix the concrete, and then ordered Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi's subordinates to take turns to carry the prepared bamboo dustpan to pour the concrete from both ends to the starting point. Then he ordered people to push the sludge at both ends with wooden squares to flatten the road surface, and then insert the prepared wooden piles in advance. The cement road was almost completed.

Next, as long as the cement road surface is dry, the cannon truck can be pushed up and bombarded the city walls on the south side of Jinan City.

Hong Chengchou Station was on the city gate tower at the north gate for a whole day, but he couldn't understand what these people were doing.

That night, he ordered people to hang a team of scouts from the city wall, stepping on the mud, trying to run to the front to see what happened. As a result, before the scouts were approached by the imperial guards waiting there, they were sieve.

Zhu Qizhuo was not afraid that Hong Chengchou would see the cement road, but mainly because he was afraid that Hong Chengchou would send people to destroy the cement that had not been dried yet. Therefore, he ordered the Imperial Guards, Qi family army and the Imperial Guards to take turns guarding beside the cement road for twelve hours a day. As long as someone dared to approach, they would shoot and knock them down.

Now Hong Chengchou was even more puzzled. What was this madman doing? Could it be that he was a trick to lure the enemy?

He thought about it and then let it go.
Chapter completed!
