Chapter 295: The Old Man Reappears
The way to defend the city here is to roll the wood thunder stone and add the soldiers who defend the city, there is no lime used in ancient times, and he doesn't know where to find lime, so he can only use chili powder and pepper instead, but there are not many cities in the south of this east and west, very few.

The amount of a city is combined, and the jar of ten catties can only hold less than 10,000 jars. The reason why so many can be found is that the logistics of the army account for the lion's share.
He also had the cauldron set up at the head of the city, filled it with water. Because there's not much oil in the city. There are in the army, but oil is not such a thing as chili powder, pepper, as a condiment, these two things are dispensable, but the difference in taste, but oil is indispensable. The pot was filled with water, and there were many wooden barrels next to it, which were filled with water and firewood were piled aside.
Thinking about it was still not enough, Yu Yu asked people to find a long iron chain and put it on the city wall. Although I don't understand why Yu Yu is doing this, Zuo Xiaoyong and the others are still busy.
The food brought by Yu Yu was 100,000 stones. The total number of soldiers and civilians in the city will never exceed 200,000, and according to the daily ration of three catties per person, it is enough for these people to eat for forty days and they are still rich.
Naturally, the people who received the food fully supported the military, so it was not the soldiers who were active in the city walls, but the people.
Yu Yu was recognized by the King of Weinan, and his order was equivalent to that of the King of Weinan. So no one doesn't listen!
Yu Yu, who had been busy all day, sat on the city wall at night, set up a fire to barbecue and eat, now is an extraordinary period, naturally he can't drink. While grilling the meat, he chatted with Li Xinrui and Chi Weihua.
King Wei Nan and the others were all here, because no one knew when the other side would attack the city! During the day, they had rested all afternoon!
Fu Linghua stared at Yu Yu's back and said, "The sword you are carrying is Su Yao's, I saw her use it in Yunmeng Mountain!"
Yu Yu scratched his head, "I'm busy, this is the sword that Qian Suyao asked me to bring you, saying that it is the heirloom of her family." Listen to her say that your sword was destroyed by the field demon in Yunmeng Mountain!"
Fu Linghua took the sword, "I'll use it first, and if I can go back, I'll give it back to her!"
"What do you mean if, really, we are all here, can something happen?" Chi Weihua pouted, "The meat has been eaten, and there is no life to go back!"
"Hey, the situation here is actually not optimistic!" Li Xinrui sighed. King Wei Nan sat on the stool next to him, holding a piece of meat in his hand, and said with a smile, "Xinrui, don't be so pessimistic, like Weihua said, the meat has been eaten, what are you afraid of!"
Li Xinrui smiled, and Yu Yu said, "Don't worry, we don't have to hold on for a few more days, it is estimated that the army will come, and now it must be on the way!"
Fu Zhong shook his head, "It's not easy to come over, the terrain of Lechuan Gorge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it's difficult to come over at all, the first 100,000 troops were almost wiped out, hey......"
Yu Yu nodded and said, "I found the way to come, and I also know that there are a lot of people from the Red Moon Country who are guarding there, but there is a way to come, and the person who led the army this time is Xiang Fei, what I can think of, he can definitely think of!"
"What's the way?" Fu Linghua hurriedly asked.
Yu Yu smiled, looked at Weinan Wang and said, "The prince must know!"
King Weinan also smiled, put down the leg of mutton he was holding, and said, "I know Xiang Fei, and I also recommended him to be the secretary of the military department." This person is very steady, never impatient in doing things, and not greedy for merit. So I guess if he led the army, it must be lightly armed, and it was all cavalry.
He would figure out the route and terrain of the march at least five hundred miles ago before he hurried, which was also what a general had to do. Moreover, the reinforcements in front of him were in the Lechuan Gorge, and he would pay more attention to the terrain there. When he got to Lethe Gorge, I think he would definitely stop, hey, in fact, this is the first time that the officer should have done but didn't do it!"
After speaking, King Weinan stopped speaking and looked at Yu Yu. Fu Linghua hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, what is the solution?"
Yu Yu continued, "The Lechuan Gorge is very narrow, with high mountains on both sides, but it is not ridiculously high, the highest is only about three thousand meters. When marching in such a place, you must pay attention to the ambush, the first time the general is estimated to save people's hearts, forget this, and let the army drive directly into the Lechuan Gorge and become the target of others' attacks.
Ambushing in such a place, the way of attacking is actually very simple. The first is to ambush some people at the two entrances of the canyon, and then wait for the vast majority of the opposing army's army to enter the canyon, and the two ambushed people come out together to block the entrance, because the canyon is too narrow, and can only accommodate three horses at most to move side by side, so people have no way to turn around, they can only be slaughtered. Then the ambushes on the cliff shoot arrows or throw stones.
But I don't think Xiang Fei will make this mistake, he will stop after reaching the Lechuan Gorge, and then immediately find the ambush at the entrance of the direction they came from, annihilate it, and then he will start digging the mountain. β
Because there are a lot of people with it, it is estimated that there are no less than 100,000, so no matter how big a mountain is, it is actually nothing. The mountain in Lethe Gorge was not ridiculously high, and two days was enough time for them to dig to the extent they wanted. β
"What are you digging mountains for?" Fu Linghua said.
At this time, Fu Zhong took over, "It's very simple, digging the mountain is to borrow the rocks on both sides, block the intersection in front of you, and then pile it up step by step." Up to the top of the mountain, there were ambushes on the mountain, but they could do nothing but watch the people below work. If shot with a bow and arrow, Xiang Fei's men could collect heavy armor on the bodies of those who were working. β
"But they will attack with stones, and the big stones roll down the mountain, and they are very powerful!" asked Li Xinrui.
"Haha, this problem is easy to solve. Fu Zhong smiled and said, "Xiang Fei is not stupid, he naturally knows that the threat comes from the stones in front of him, so when he digs the mountain, he will dig out the stones from the mountain walls on both sides, instead of priing the stones directly from the mountain, so that those soldiers have cover."
At the same time, if they still throw stones down, it is just right, and it also saves the effort of digging stones. What Xiang Fei had to do was to build a wide road from the ground to the mountain. Once this road is paved, there is no place for the ambush soldiers. You must know that the mountains are steep, it is difficult to assemble in one place, and it is useless to have many people, and there are only a limited number of people who can really attack downward.
Like the people in the canyon under the mountain, they also need to be scattered on the peaks on both sides to give full play to their advantages, so it is much easier for Xiang Fei's people to rush away. In this way, the other party's ambush has become Xiang Fei's mouth, after all, the people Xiang Fei brought are not only numerous, but I estimate that they are also the most elite forces in my Yan country, and it is likely that many of them are the elites of the eight battalions!"
"Sounds like a lot of work!" Fu Linghua said.
"To complete this work, as long as it takes two days, there will be some casualties, but it will not be serious, and the whole army will be wiped out, and the trouble is not worth mentioning! If nothing else, Xiang Fei will definitely choose this way!" Fu Zhong said.
"Many people think that fighting a war is a fight, a desperate effort, but in fact, many jobs are more important, so there will be thousands of troops that are easy to get and hard to find!"
"It's really a long experience, and using soldiers is really not something that ordinary people can do!" Li Xinrui sighed.
"Brother Yu, how did you come up with it. Chi Weihua said, "If it were me, I think I would definitely lead the army to rush over, but I would definitely be wiped out!"
"I can think of no wonder, as long as I calm down, everyone can think of this stupid way. And I made a special observation when I passed through the Lechuan Gorge, for I had already heard that 100,000 men were ambushed there at one time. And I found that at the entrance in the direction of this direction from the Holy City, the mountains on both sides are not very steep, the mountains are relatively gentle, and if you want to dig the mountains by hand, the workload will not be very large!"
A few days later, Yu Yu's speculation was confirmed by Xiang Fei's approach, of course, this is a later story!
"Commander Yu, what are you looking for so many strange things to do here, to defend the city?" Fu Linghua asked, pointing to the jar next to him.
"There is a mixture of pepper and paprika, and people can't open their eyes for a long time after choking, and they pour it down, although they can't kill them, they can't attack it! There is also an iron chain, which is burned red during the siege and placed in a place where the attacking soldiers must touch!"
"You're really smart!" Fu Linghua opened his mouth, and it took a long time to think of such a word.
"Ruthless enough" is still simple.
The sky is not yet dawn, and the people of Jingnanguan have come to the city one after another, which is all said during the day, and they will help defend the city today. Ten taels of silver per person per day.
In fact, they also knew in their hearts that once Jingnan Pass fell, whether their lives could still be saved, it was difficult to say, after all, the geographical location of this place was important, and the people of the Red Moon Country were likely to slaughter the city in order to protect it. Of course, Yu Yu let Luo Yaocheng and Shang Zi play a great role in the propaganda made by the two during the day.
As soon as the sky was bright, the other party's camp began to smoke curling, Yu Yu and the others understood at a glance, this was making breakfast, and after eating and drinking, they would immediately attack the city!
Everyone was vigilant, and King Weinan looked at everyone, "No matter what, you can't let their people come, you must ensure that Jingnan Pass is not lost, otherwise the gate of the southern part of my Yan Kingdom will be completely open to the Red Moon Country, and so many cities in the south will fall into a situation where there is no danger to defend, and they will be exposed to the millions of iron horses of the Red Moon Country like a child!"
Sure enough, the time was not very long, and the horn of the sky sounded in the military camp of the Akatsuki Kingdom, and the army once again rushed to the city like a tide.
King Weinan and the others stood quietly at the head of the city, looking at the slowly moving emperor ** team below, silent.
Unlike before, they did not attack the city directly, in front of the army, a group of more than a dozen horsemen lined up, came to the city wall, and outside the range of firearms, stopped. Yu Yu glanced over, his brows furrowed, Fu Linghua was shocked, and pointed to the person below, "Isn't that Bi Lantao?"
