The clamor of shouts was about to resound again in the long-silent Hanzhong Plain.

It's really called the reincarnation of heaven, who is spared by the sky! In addition to being educated by his heavy return cannon meteor fire, this time Wang Hou's front teeth slammed into the cement that he had crossed over.

Unlike gunpowder, which is closely kept and needs to be supported by large-scale aquaculture, the formula of cement was leaked by Wang Hou very early, and the first batch was handed over to the Qingzhou family to operate, and then he promoted his ugly Bauhaus-style square-headed residential area throughout the Han Dynasty.

Although the mainstream aesthetics of the scholars still despise the design of Wang Hou, who claims to be a master architect, they have to admit that the small buildings with cement and wood or steel bars are really cheaper and faster than the solid wood buildings in the Han Dynasty, and they are also stronger and have lower fire hazards.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang also applied cement technology to the Hanzhong Plain, a series of castles and military tuns were built in various places in Hanzhong, built by mountains or rivers, and the army fed itself in the nearby tuntian, once it was attacked, it could be defended according to the danger, just like a roadblock in front of Wang Hou.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei's men's war and women's luck also want to snatch Hanzhong back, if Wang Hou invades Shuzhong, he must sweep away more than 30,000 garrisons in Shu Hanzhong's eight military camps and fourteen small fortresses, otherwise, he will have to be like the previous battle of Boss Cao Hanzhong, which was constantly harassed by Shu Han and the rear grain road, and the front will never be peaceful.

But if you capture this series of fortresses that are uglier than the king's thickness, the rough cement is pasted outside, and the shoddy construction is shoddy, it will require extraordinarily large manpower and material resources and a long time.

This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang must come back after the trial and defeat of the battle of Chencang, he has time and Wang Hou to consume on the battlefield, but Wang Hou did not, now Cao Pi's 200,000 army has arrived at the battlefield in the area of Hefei, Huaihe River, and cleaned up Dongwu, he will never give Wang Hou and Cao Zhang a chance again, both sides are rushing for time.

If this defensive battle can be won, even Zhuge Liang has the opportunity to force Wang Hou to negotiate, merge into his Shu Han regime, and become the fortress of Western Shu in Guanzhong, after all, as long as the head is not squeezed by the door, Wang Hou and Cao Zhang will definitely not be willing to be cleaned up by Cao Pi!

However, Wang Hou didn't seem to be in a hurry at all!

"Hurry up, hurry up! A basket of soil is ten cents! Tong Su is not bullied, if you want to work overtime to make money, it's up to now! ”

More than 80,000 miners were transferred to the front line, and under the shouting of the officers, they skillfully dug trenches on the ground, and used the traditional trench advancement method to attack the fortress built by Zhuge Liang along the dangerous Qinling Mountains.

Digging a ditch is like a siege of a city, and the workers in charge of digging how many meters they dig and how much they are paid, and how many cubic meters and how much wages are transported by the workers in charge of transporting the earth.

But even so, it took twelve days to surround Zhuge Liang, who was stationed at the Caichencang Road crossing and had 3,000 defenders, on the Nanling Outer Fort.

"This is the advantage of Wang Guanzhong, and it is also the disadvantage of Wang Guanzhong! The elite soldier policy allows him to have troops with strong combat effectiveness that can quickly cope with wars everywhere and at the same time, save a lot of manpower for production, so no one in the world can get rich! ”

"But when it comes to a big battle like a siege with particularly serious damage, Wang Guanzhong is reluctant to feathers, he doesn't dare to attack urgently, and he doesn't want to lose the elite troops under his command, so he fell into the prime minister's scheme!"

"The prime minister is wise!"

No wonder Zhuge Liang likes and trusts Ma Tan, a few hundred meters away from the battlefield, it is also a peak, looking at the battlefield with a telescope modeling, looking at the trench offensive of the Wei army's siege, leaving down the telescope, Ma Tan is extremely excited, and is particularly proud to show off to Fei Wei and other Shu Han civil and military generals for Zhuge Liang.

But listening to his show-off, when a group of civil and military people nodded their heads again and again, Zhuge Liang, who was sitting on a wooden BMX and holding a goose feather fan, couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Although this is the overall situation, and then Wang Guanzhong is so stable, when this encirclement is built, there are 3,000 soldiers, and there are no deaths!"

"The prime minister doesn't have to worry about it, he died to help the Han Dynasty, even if he dies, the soldiers will definitely laugh at Jiuquan!"

Good guy, it wasn't he who was trapped in the city and sacrificed, Ma Jian represented the three thousand Shu army lightly.

However, Zhuge Liang didn't answer his words, but suddenly picked up the telescope in amazement and asked suspiciously.

"Guanzhong artillery, extremely sharp, and that day can shoot up to six miles, he Wang Guanzhong does not use artillery to attack the city, why use such a backward thing to attack the city? And go to great lengths to dig trenches so in advance? ”

Similar to Wang Hou's Chencang Fortress, the Nanling Outer City built by Zhuge Liang is also in the middle of the towering mountainside, but the slope is not so steep, only about 30 degrees, a cement military fort is square, facing the bottom of the mountain, and the city wall is densely arranged with large and small Zhuge crossbows and trebuchets.

Painstakingly digging the trench upwards, advancing to the bottom of the city wall fifty meters, and attacking upwards, in Zhuge Liang's stunned gaze, one by one the Wei troops actually worked harder to lay the equipment table in the trench, and then pushed up a small torsion trebuchet that had already swept the door to the armory garbage can.

Whether it is the range or power of this thing, it is not as good as the return cannon, Zhuge Liang really can't figure it out, what Wang Hou is doing with this thing against his military fort.

Could it be that in the battle of Chen Cang, Wang Hou's head was smashed with stones?

"Prime Minister, could it be that Wang Guanzhong's thunder powder has run out?"

Holding the binoculars, Ma Jian couldn't help but bring up the possibility of this excitement, and Zhuge Liang's heart really moved violently when he heard it.

Although Wang Hou used a large number of firearms to attack, but the use of firearms is actually quite limited, the more powerful the weapon, the more proportional to the production capacity, the price, the battle of Chencang, the cannon roared overhead for a whole day, the gunpowder was consumed, there is really this possibility.

If there is no artillery help, the major military cantonments in Hanzhong can undoubtedly hold on for a longer time, dragging more variables for the war, sitting on the wooden cart, the corners of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's mouth can't help but arouse a wave of joy.

However, if he had seen Wang Hou in the trench, commanding at the front line, with a lewd and obscene look on his face, he probably wouldn't have thought so.

The logistics army carefully carried the sealed oak barrels forward, personally pointing fingers on the side, and in the excitement, Wang Hou shouted worriedly.

"Move slowly, be steady, don't fall!"

"If this bucket is broken, we'll all be finished!"
