After Ziwu finished speaking, he took Zhang Chen to a transport truck dressed in linen.

Zhang Chen got off the horse and walked to the first transport vehicle. There were several Xiliang knights and two long, big and thick disciples of the power, who saluted Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen nodded, pulled a corner of the cloth, and indeed saw piles of black stones inside. After Ma Teng got Zhang Chen's request, he bought and sent extra staff to the people of the major counties in Xiliang.

The people collected from the natural mines are now gradually recovering from the baptism of war. Because the new policies advocated by Ma Teng made the people very profitable, they are also very happy to sell black stones.

This black stone is coal.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were a large number of natural coal mines in Liangzhou and other places. When people found that this strange black rock could burn, they were used to make fires and cook, but only they were used more frequently in the homes of Liangzhou people.

It is also used for ignition in the army, but it is very few for military purposes.

As a modern person, Zhang Chen naturally knew that coal was powerful and that kind of fire was difficult to extinguish, so he spent a lot of effort to ask Ma Teng to collect and transport it, intending to burn Hulao Pass and block the Allies.

Zhang Heng led thousands of troops to build the last line of defense under such a severe situation, which was to transform the city walls to lay coal.

Under the escort of the Xiliang knights, the soldiers of the Crazy Camp sent coal truck by truck to the city wall. At this time, Zhang Heng had already taken the final arrangement with his subordinates.

Ziwu took his disciples with his 500-strong font and returned to Zhongnan Mountain.

Zhang Chen handed over the layout site to Zhou Qian and Zhang Heng, and took Ma Chao back to the tent himself, and the Ma family army was also arranged in the newly built battalion commander.

"Meng Qi, how many soldiers did you bring this time?" Before Zhang Chen sat down, he asked Ma Chao, "There is too short of manpower now, and Ma Chao's troops are the only troops that can support him."

"Brother, I will bring three thousand cavalrymen in the Ma family this time. Although there are not many, they are very elite!" Ma Chao did not hide at all.

"Three thousand, that's fine. Meng Qi, don't have to join your army in the past few days. You are very tired from coming from afar. Please take a good rest for a few days." Although there is still a little difference between the number in your heart and Zhang Chen,

It's better than nothing, let alone the elite troops of the Ma family army. I believe Ma Teng and Ma Chao don't need to lie to him.

"Okay! Brother! Just talk if you can use it, my three thousand Ma family troops will be on standby at any time!"

"General, the transportation has been completed. General Zhang Heng is in the final placement work. General Zimo is also there to inspect the agency and it will be completed tomorrow!" Zhou Qian walked in. He only needed to escort the coal truck with Kuangying.

"Okay! Chief Rong, you sent someone to the front line and told Lao Jiang that you can just hold on for the last two days! If you need support, pull the camp up to defend!" Zhang Chen saw some hope at this time.

"Yes!" Zhou Qian retreated without stopping.

"Okay, Meng Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time. How is your adoptive father in good health?" At this time, Zhang Chen had nothing urgent to do and talked about family matters with Ma Chao. He originally wanted to go to the front line, but Lao Jiang strongly opposed it and was afraid.

Zhang Chen did anything that would affect the overall situation. Zhang Chen calmly thought about it and stayed in the tent behind the rear with the other third battalion in the fourth battalion except the Kuang Camp.
