C365 Bridge Construction



C365 Bridge Construction

Xiao Yun wanted to say something else.    

    

Old Man Ma suddenly pointed behind him as if he had seen a ghost and said with a trembling voice, "Young Master, look!"    

    

Xiao Yun suddenly turned his head.    

    

On the other side of the river, there were countless people in the forest!    

    

When they came out, they saw that they were all wearing the armor of Sun Moon Country.    

    

At first, there were hundreds of people, but then there were more and more, occupying all the river routes!    

    

There was no end to it, it was filled with people.    

    

With a rough look, there were more than ten thousand people!    

    

As the saying went, there were more than ten thousand people, covering the mountains and plains.    

    

This might be the case.    

    

It seemed like there were more people than trees.    

    

And the one in the lead was an old acquaintance.    

    

It was that fellow who had finally managed to catch up with them, but was extorted by Xiao Yun for half of his supplies.    

    

And Xiao Yun also understood why he had caught up now.    

    

Because of those supplies...    

    

He turned his head and looked at his own team. Sure enough, when they were in the forest, they had already destroyed the transport wagon.    

    

After eating and drinking, the wagon burned the firewood.    

    

What was the point of keeping those flags?    

    

Xiao Yun rubbed the space between his brows and said, "Don't be agitated. They can't do anything for the time being."    

    

The corners of Old Man Ma's eyes twitched violently a few times.    

    

He didn't know what to do.    

    

The group of people were frightened.    

    

They had just escaped from the danger of being poisoned to death. Who would have thought that they were already out of the Sun Moon Country? Logically speaking, the risk of pursuing them had already been lifted, but the pursuing troops had actually arrived just like that!    

    

Wasn't this too strange?    

    

Or could it be said that they were too unlucky?    

    

Only Xiao Yun was still calm and composed.    

    

He waved at the general on the other side of the river and laughed loudly, "If you keep chasing, will there be any benefit? Although there is a saying, there will always be a echo if you keep thinking about it, but this young master feels that all of this is futile. You just wasted the lives of your subordinates."    

    

The general narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Yun.    

    

However, he did not let anyone cross the river.    

    

Xiao Yun and the others took a detour around this river.    

    

However, there were no bridges. They had only found a shallow place and crossed the bridge.    

    

Most of the carriages were used here.    

    

Moreover, it was not a big problem for military horses to cross the water.    

    

After crossing the river, Xiao Yun walked south for a while, avoiding the tall mountain in front of him. Only then did he arrive at this place.    

    

Going down along the river was always much easier than searching for a path in the mountains.    

    

Now, he just happened to bump into the pursuers. He didn't know if it was luck or misfortune.    

    

But there was one thing that he was sure of.    

    

There were over a hundred of them, but none of them dared to come over here. How could the army of ten thousand dare to cross the river like this?    

    

Military horses could flow along the river, but who knew how deep the river was? What was below?    

    

If the military horses were damaged, things would become extremely troublesome.    

    

What was even worse was that if a person walked into the water, their armor and cotton clothes would be directly penetrated by the bone-piercing river water. That would truly be fatal!    

    

In this freezing weather, other than being frozen to death, there was no other result.    

    

This was also the reason why Xiao Yun was not in a hurry.    

    

Then, he saw the general wave his hand forcefully.    

    

Immediately, soldiers started cutting wood.    

    

"They want to build bridges!"    

    

Old Man Ma was so scared that his eyes lit up.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? In this kind of wilderness, it is always a good thing to have someone pave the way for us."    

    

"This..."    

    

Old Man Ma could not laugh at all.    

    

This was really a joke.    

    

But in fact, what Xiao Yun said wasn't a joke.    

    

It was impossible that these people had never experienced what they had experienced.    

    

That was, the water source was poisonous!    

    

Xiao Yun could rely on his own knowledge to produce distilled water to avoid being poisoned.    

    

But they did not.    

    

When the hundreds of thousands of troops of Sun Moon Country fell here, they only had around ten thousand people. What else could they do?    

    

If they were to build a bridge...    

    

They would have to brave the cold and enter the icy water. Who could stand it?    

    

Not only that, the effort they put into the work would cause the poison to explode even more violently.    

    

After all, diarrhea and food poisoning required a good rest.    

    

When they moved, they would die even faster!    

    

That was why Xiao Yun smiled without any pressure.    

    

He waved his hand at them and shouted, "All of you, do your best. I will leave first!"    

    

After saying that, he did not immediately walk forward.    

    

He asked Old Man Ma to find a few clever ones.    

    

He started to make tools.    

    

"Young Master Xiao, what are you doing? The pursuers are behind us, and there is poison in front of us. What should we do?"    

    

No matter what, Old Man Ma felt that he shouldn't be doing these weird things here.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled.    

    

"If they want to come over, they will have to wait for a while. When they build the bridge, we will also get some things. Let's work together and not delay."    

    

"This..."    

    

" Also, you people from Molan Country, I am a person who can do anything. Even when we walked out of that forest, it took us so much effort. Do you think they won't pay any price? Take a closer look at the expressions of those soldiers. "    

    

Old Man Ma turned his head and saw that the soldiers were all moving very slowly.    

    

Whether it was the people cutting wood or the people cutting wood into wooden stakes, all of them had vegetables on their faces. All of them were listless. They gritted their teeth and used all their strength to move normally.    

    

"This..."    

    

He was stunned.    

    

Then he rubbed his head awkwardly and said, "It turns out that it was all within Young Master's calculations. I was being rude."    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and waved his hand. "Don't talk nonsense. Go and do your work."    

    

Old Man Ma quickly ran out and began to pass on the confidence he had gained from Xiao Yun to the others.    

    

After all, everyone was as panicked as him.    

    

The things Xiao Yun taught them were quite complicated.    

    

First, they found wood, and then cut it into a wooden bucket. The wooden bucket had to be as thick as the mouth and nose.    

    

One side was hollow, and the other side had to open up some tiny holes.    

    

Before the holes, he had to put a layer of cloth.    

    

After the cloth was a layer of sand.    

    

After the sand was the crushed charcoal.    

    

After Charcoal, there was still a layer of cloth, but on this layer of cloth, there was water.    

    

The cloth was wet, but because there was charcoal blocking the front and back, the sand was not wet.    

    

Then there was a large amount of carbon, and then a piece of cloth. This piece of cloth was taller than a wooden cylinder, and a part of it was piled up around it.    

    

The wooden cylinder had holes on both sides of the cylinder, and it was connected to the rope. Then, it was put on the head.    

    

The wooden cylinder was stuck on the mouth and nose, and there was a cloth blocking the way. With every breath, the breath would come from the front of the cylinder.    

    

This made breathing extremely strenuous.    

    

Especially when he breathed, because when he breathed, he would slightly push the wooden cylinder open, and his breath would run out through the gaps in his face.    

    

However, when breathing, not only did one need to use one's hand to suppress it, but the suction force would also make the cylinder and the face fuse even more tightly.    

    

This cylinder was very complicated to make.    

    

But it could not withstand the number of people.    

    

More than twenty people, and two to three hundred in half a day!    

    

At the same time, the bridge behind them was only half completed.    

    

A few of the Sun Moon Country's soldiers trembled a few times in the river. Then, they loosened their hands and sank directly. The river that was not considered rapid also downstream them.    

    

Obviously, they could not live anymore.
