Chapter 935: City Guard
The Tiger Warrior under the car is also a military soul legion, but it is a relatively bottom-ranked existence in the military soul legion, which is worse than the halberd warriors. But on one point, his ability to protect the monarch is beyond doubt.
With heavy armor all over his body and a heavy shield in his hand, the tiger warrior under the car is completely a weakened version of the tiger army that has given up the means of attack. Not good at attacking, but the defensive means are extremely outstanding. However, in large-scale warfare, the only ability to protect the monarch from harm is basically the only ability. Their bulky size and near-lack of attacks make it difficult for them to actively participate in the battle and show their strength.
This "castrated" version of the Tiger Ben Army was tasteless for Yuan Shu, so he sent Sun Ce to protect Zhou Ce and handed it over to Zhou Tai as commander. However, Sun Ce was not very interested in the bulky Tiger Army, because it affected his charging speed, but Sun Quan became the little master of this army.
After Sun Quan slipped away, there was a long quarrel in the big tent. In the end, the conservatives such as Wang Ping, Zhu Ran, and He Qi led by Bu Qi were still defeated by the enterprising faction such as Bu Qi, Deng Zhi, and Hao Zhao led by Pang Tong.
Sun Ce, who had always been determined to forge ahead, was unwilling to stick to the mountains, and finally adopted the suggestions of Hao Zhao and others.
"Bodao, I will give you 20,000 elite soldiers, you may defend this city?" Looking at Hao Zhao with a calm face, Sun Ce said with a straight face.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, even if the Northern Huns pour out, the minister is sure to hold this city. If the city is lost, the minister will come to see him. Hao Zhao promised.
There may be deficiencies in other aspects, but Hao Zhao is absolutely confident in defending the city. With 20,000 elites and a solid city, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are coming to the city, and Hao Zhao is also confident to defend it for a month or two.
In history, this cargo commanded more than 1,000 people to garrison Chencang, and stopped Zhuge Liang, who led tens of thousands of elites, for more than 20 days, and was an out-and-out famous general who defended the city.
In the face of the Northern Xiongnu, who were not good at attacking the city, Hao Zhao became more confident. 20,000 soldiers is already Hao Zhao's conservative statement, if it is not for the great significance of this matter, there must be no mistakes, Hao Zhao can boast of 5,000 elites.
Hearing this, Sun Ce nodded. For Hao Zhao, he was extremely relieved. Before leaving, Yuan Shu was still a little uneasy, so he specially wrote a letter to him, introducing him to these talents in detail. They are all people with a calm personality and a preference for good guards, and they are afraid that he will be too frizzy and adventurous, so as to help him keep his foundation and avoid cutting off the back road.
Sun Ce couldn't help but be a little speechless while being moved. All the generals are good guards, how afraid of him for accidents! Is he, Sun Ce, the kind of person who doesn't care about it and doesn't have a brain?
Turning his head to look at the simple old man in the corner who had not said a word from beginning to end, silently holding a map and paper and leaning over the desk to sketch something.
"Mr. Mimori, the construction of the castle defense will trouble you."
When Mo Jue heard this, he responded lightly, filled in the last stroke on the ground drawing, and then got up and came to Sun Ce.
"Your Highness, the minister has preliminarily formulated a plan for the layout of the city defense according to the description of His Highness and the adults just now. Your Highness and your Excellency would like to ask for a look. ”
With that, he spread the map on the ground and began to explain it after a few people gathered around.
Take a wooden stick and press it gently. There is a thin tube under the stick, and a faint red liquid can be seen inside.
Gently touching the city on the map, red ink spots suddenly appeared.
"Look, everybody. According to the distribution of the surrounding mountains and plains, as well as the location of the green lake, the old man chose the location of this city here. ”
Pang Tong saw the location of the red dot and nodded slightly: "This place is located at the corner between the mountain range and the Qinghu Lake, but the distance is a little far. However, if the city is built here, nearly seventy percent of the land of the entire plain on the west side of our Wu Kingdom is within its radiation range. ”
"If it is too deep, I am afraid it is not conducive to defense, if the enemy comes to attack, I am afraid that it will really become a lonely city, it is better to move inward." Bu Qi frowned.
"But this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is high, and the river next to it flows straight down is the Qing River, and it is backed by the mountains, which is indeed the best place to build a city." Hao Zhao said.
"What Bo Dao said is very true." Mo Jue glanced at Hao Zhao appreciatively.
"Your Highness, here you are sure to build an impregnable city. This time, His Majesty sent many disciples and ministers of the Mo family to accompany him, all of whom were proficient in defending the city against the enemy, ensuring that nothing went wrong. ”
"Moreover, the minister feels that we and others have sufficient manpower, and His Majesty has provided a lot of manpower and material support, far exceeding the other three countries, and it will be a waste if they are not used well. What if you don't..."Mo Jue drew two arcs on the map.
"This plain is between the mountains and the green lake, and it is completely possible to rely on it to build two Great Walls, one for external protection and one for internal defense. In the event of a small group of enemies, the outer walls are sufficient to resist it. In this way, more than eighty percent of the plains will be protected from harassment. It can greatly expand the arable land of our Wu country and provide enough grain and grass. ”
"Even if the enemy is strong, the outer city wall cannot be defended. We can also use the barrier of the outer wall to buy time to retreat into the inner wall. Ministers can build secret passages within the city walls, and then send troops to block the city walls and block the city gates through waterways or secret passages. And if the enemy's cavalry enters the outer city wall, we can flank the inside and outside, and catch the turtle in the urn. The more Mo Jue spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but draw a dotted line on it again, adding two more bastions.
"After that, if my Wu Kingdom still has the strength to spare, it is best to add another city wall, two fortresses, and three layers of sandwiches, even if Guishan comes to us, we can sit back and relax. And then..."
Seeing that Mo Jue wanted to write again, Bu Qi couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly interrupted: "Yu Shougong, enough is enough." The national strength of my Wu State cannot build such a huge project, and I also cannot use such a strong city defense. ”
The words were interrupted, Mo Jue put down the wooden stick in his hand with a little unhappiness, and couldn't help but say: "The old man knows." But the coming day is long, if there is a chance, improve it, even if you come to attack us in peace, you can resist it. ”
When everyone present heard this, they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but say in their hearts: "Is this old man crazy?" Besides, do you always want to add Rome and plan to make the world an enemy? ”
Seeing this, Chen Gong smiled slightly, quite a confidant.
It was all used to Yuan Shu, and now many strategists in Dachu and these children of the Mo family and the losers have begun to do things in a big way. I don't care about the cost, I only pay attention to the effect, and I continue to throw a lot of money at engineering and ordnance. I can't wait to make every pass directly to the level of the Tiger Prison. The original fortress has also been refined and improved, and has evolved into a fortress like a hedgehog that makes people unable to swallow.
The central idea that Yuan Shu has always emphasized is that he should think about defeat before he wins. First you have to retreat and defend, and then you can attack. If you don't make the rear invulnerable, you won't attack easily.
This kind of "Gou" behavior has always been scoffed at by famous generals, but the wealthy Yuan Shu was stunned to really play it with an invincible effect and completely changed the rules of war. There is no way, the national strength is too strong, and it is so rich.
As long as your national strength is not as strong as mine, you can only be slowly grinded to death by me. I just failed ten times and still had the advantage a hundred times, and if you lost once, I basically finished playing.
The biggest advantage of the Northern Xiongnu is mobility, which is immediately a dragon and a worm under the horse. There is the Great Wall to block, which is definitely a great restriction for the Northern Xiongnu.
