"Hurry up, hurry up and pull us up."
At the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, two people on the modified 100-stone propeller boats urged.
There was a hole in the wooden board to avoid damaging the propeller.
Dozens of people on the boat pulled at the same time. With a clatter, the wooden board was pulled up.
Once on the board, 20 horses were tied up with ropes and driven forward.
"Why don't we wait until there are more boats? Whenever a ship is modified or a new ship is built, we will leave immediately, in bits and pieces. "
The person at the Hukou Waterfall who pulled the gourds muttered. In his opinion, they should be organized.
The others also felt that he made sense. It was difficult to dispatch one boat today and two boats tomorrow.
Li Yi, who sent the boats, was bidding farewell to Tan Shida's family at the Li Family Zhuangzi.
The family of three should go back and organize people to build the road there.
There were 100 Winged Knights traveling with them. They were responsible for carrying the exchange coupons and malaria prevention pills.
They didn't have the tools to work. They planned to buy them from other places, such as the line in Guangzhou.
Everyone waved. Tan Shui looked at Li Yi eagerly. Li Yi's eyes didn't even fall on her.
After that, Li Yi turned around and went back to find Li Longji.
Li Longji's family of five came over, including Li Dan and Noble Consort Lu.
The weather was too hot. Li Dan and Noble Consort Lu stayed in Baifu Palace. It was mainly because they had nothing to do and were annoyed.
They planned to stay at the Li Family Zhuangzi for a few days. It was too hot and easy to get sick.
Li Dan was afraid of death. He wanted to live to see the Tang dynasty become stronger.
Li Longji and his family of three wanted to come. He didn't have any friends in the palace. He didn't want to play with the other princes and princesses.
The only place he knew that he had friends was the Li Family Zhuangzi. They were about the same age as him and had a common language.
There were special piles of sand for them, as well as all kinds of small carts and shovels.
They used their hands to push small carts to transport the goods. Many adults had forgotten their childhood and simply ignored them.
Li Yi was their best teacher. Li Yi could play with two- or three-year-old children.
Li Yi would carefully fill the cart with sand with a small shovel, and then make a beeping sound with his mouth to transport the sand to the castle that a certain little guy was going to build.
Actually, no matter how old the child was, he could play with them. He knew what a child needed.
Including the slightly older children who were playing cards and chess with their printed cards.
When the adults saw this, they felt that it was fine for the children to play by themselves.
Li Yi understood that they were playing a war game.
When poker cards and chess cards were flipped over, it meant that one side's soldiers had died.
Thus, he gave the Craftsmen's Alliance an order to make little people with a small support at the bottom. Some held knives, some held bows.
"Xiao Yi, you're sending ships out one after another. Why don't you gather them together?" Li Dan had the same idea as the people at Hukou Waterfall.
He had never fought in a war, nor had he ever given his own orders in war.
Li Yi said patiently, "That's too slow. I know that some people think that gathering is the best, but that actually refers to fighting.
If it's transportation, efficiency is the pursuit. It seems that a fragmented team can't transport much at a time.
However, it's definitely more than waiting for the number to be enough to be transported at once. Every ship of goods can change the direction of the war.
Even if the two sides have equal forces on the battlefield, the rear troops can reinforce in batches, and the tactic of adding fuel can be used. "
Li Yi had his own opinions on this. Sometimes, there was no way to add fuel to the battle in a war.
For example, each side had 50,000 troops with equal combat strength. Every day, some of them would die.
There was no time to organize more people, so they would send them forward in batches.
If one side sent them, the other side had to send them, even if the people sent that day became casualties again.
If one side sent them, the other side didn't, but gathered at the rear.
Before they finished gathering, the strategic location in front of them would be gone. When the gathered troops arrived, they wouldn't be able to defeat the other side.
It was the same for transportation. They couldn't wait. When a ship came out, it would load the goods and send them out.
Right now, they were transporting gasoline, diesel, sky-scraping monkeys, and explosives.
A ship would be able to support them for a while.
Empress Wang came from a family of generals, so she understood. She said, "If you send one more sky-scraping monkey, the soldiers will be more confident."
"Is that so?" Li Dan asked Empress Wang.
"Yes, the warriors would rather eat a little worse than to have better weapons. If they eat, they can handle a few mouthfuls. Weapons are their lives. "
Empress Wang was very certain that even if the food was bad, as long as there were sky-scraping monkeys, the morale of the soldiers would not be weak.
If a sky-scraping monkey was hit accurately, it could kill many enemies.
They would rather not eat canned food and eat cooked barley every day. It was better than having sky-scraping monkeys.
Li Dan understood and turned to Li Yi. "You've been sending weapons?"
"The frontline lacks weapons. If I don't send weapons, what else can I send? The supplies are being sent from Shu County. Tomorrow, the Winged Knights will go out and send a batch of diesel and explosives to Guo Zhiyun within five days.
No, send them to the Hexi Jiedushi's place within three days and let him send them to Guo Zhiyun. The cavalry will fall easily if they go that way. "
Li Yi wanted to mobilize the Winged Knights, but he did not want anything to happen to the Winged Knights.
The delivery of the express from Chang 'an could reach the place in a day. There were too many things, and there were not enough horses at the relay station. Only the Winged Knights could travel long distances on three horses.
"Xiao Yi, I heard that the battle at Zhang Xiaosong's place is very intense. Aren't you going to send weapons to him?" Noble Consort Lu thought of a place.
"The battle is almost over. There's only Tubo's army left. If I were Zhang Xiaosong, I would focus on attacking Tubo's Baggage Army. There can't be many people in the Baggage Army."
Li Yi was not worried about the battle at Huashi City. In history, the two armies were able to withstand it, let alone now.
The two armies were facing off against Tubo. The Anxi Jiedushi would take captives and treat the injured. The rest of the army would rest for a while before coming out to cooperate with the two armies.
As long as Zhang Xiaosong was not stupid, he would definitely go to Tubo's logistics army.
… …
Two days later, just as Li Yi said, Zhang Xiaosong met with another Tubo's Baggage Army.
At noon, the Tubo's Baggage Army encountered a small river that they did not know how to change its course.
Now, they were resting and wasting time. After eating and drinking, the Baggage Army continued to move forward.
In the evening, they stopped and formed a circle around the caravan as a temporary camp.
At the same time, they sent out scouts to investigate.
This army had a lot of supplies. It was made up of two thousand Qianhu.
One thousand cavalry and one thousand infantry. All of them were cavalry. Tubo did not have the resources to do so.
Zhang Xiaosong looked at the wind direction and speed and decided not to use explosives. The landlord did not have any extra food.
He gathered a lot of hay and mixed it with the green grass in bundles.
At the same time, he divided his troops to arrange the bundles. After eating two batches of Tubo scouts, he led his men to push forward. After placing the hay properly, he began to light the fire.
At night, under the starry sky, a large amount of smoke appeared not long after. It followed the wind and rolled towards the Tubo caravan formation.
