Chapter 69 Designing the City Defense System

"Fancheng's words......" Liu Yi touched his chin and thought, Cao Cao's main force is still playing in the pools in Jizhou, it shouldn't be so fast to go south, as for the vanguard troops, although there are also powerful generals, but Liu Bei's side should still be able to stop it, but he still has to be fully prepared for his escape, and ......

"Don't worry about the money, the lord has raised five million money for Mr., and now it has been sent to Mr.'s walled city." Mi Zhu smiled.

"Okay, it's done!" Liu Yi said categorically.

Five million money, just to strengthen some defenses, only need to make some more rolling wood, make a row of bucket arches, and do not need to paint, in addition to some large bed crossbows and other things, if the materials are enough, you only need to hire a student, even if you pursue speed, recruit more people, it adds up to only a few hundred thousand things that can be done, and the rest, net profit.

If you rush to work, it can be completed in a month, after all, it is not required to be as exquisite as Liu Biao's attic, and it is also fast to make, especially the kind of rolling wood.

"Seeing Bo Yuan packing up, I think I also have the intention of leaving Xiangyang, why don't you cross the Han River with me tomorrow and go to Fancheng?" Mi Zhu looked at Liu Yi and smiled.

"Well, I'll leave tomorrow!" Liu Yi nodded affirmatively, this kind of thing, if he waited for Cao Jun to go south, he would not be willing to get involved again.

"Since this is the case, Zhu will take his leave first." Mi Zhu smiled at Liu Yi and turned to leave.

"Sir, are we really going to Fancheng? It's not a big place. Liu Sandao said a little sullenly after Mi Zhu left, he still thought about the girl in the Qinglou, although Fancheng and Xiangyang are only separated by a water, but they belong to Xiangyang's Acropolis on the other side, and they can't be compared with Xiangyang at all.

"We came out this time to visit the Qinglou...... It's to make money, not to accompany you to visit the Qinglou. Liu Yi slapped him and waved his hand: "Tomorrow in Fancheng, we will start work again, and we will rest today." ”

"Whoa!" After Liu Sandao said yes, he turned around and left.

Liu Yi is not idle, since he has to do it, he naturally has to get by, his reputation has gradually spread, if he doesn't do it well, he will smash his own signboard in the future.

Mi Zhu left him a map of Fancheng's defense, Liu Yi studied and designed the reconstruction plan overnight, Fancheng as the acropolis of Xiangyang, the construction of the consideration is more military, so the city wall is not low, there are three zhang six feet high, this height, there is no need to strengthen again, and in such a short time, it can not be strengthened.

Liu Yi is ready to erect a row of dougongs behind the city, the kind of dougong that is relatively spacious, can accommodate five or six people to shoot arrows at the same time, the height must be six zhang, and the general dougong has a range bonus, so that a three-dimensional attack situation can be formed, and the soldiers defending the city can stand on the dougong and the city wall at the same time to release arrow clusters to the enemy, increasing the effective strike surface.

The main thing is the construction of the dougong, with the size of the city of Fancheng, Liu Yi is ready to set up twelve dougong on each city wall, so that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers defending the city can be effectively brought into play, especially the soldiers on the dougong, the safety is absolutely guaranteed.

As for the city defense weapons, they can't be put too much, and Liu Yi plans to set up another ballista near each dougong, specifically targeting the opponent's catapults, wells and other engineering equipment.

The city gate has to be replaced, and the double-layer structure makes the defense of the city gate and suspension bridge higher.

As for the rest, you can do as much as you can with rolling wood and stones, and you have to hang a row of straw racks outside the city wall, and put straw on top of it, and when the enemy sets up the siege ladder, the straw is set on fire.

As for the outside of the moat, it is better to dig some traps, although such things are easy to destroy, but they can always slow down some enemy troops.

That's pretty much it, in addition to the ten people I brought, I need to recruit another ninety people, make up the number of hundreds of people, because there is nothing too complicated in the construction period, with the speed of 100 people, it can be completed in a month.

So be it!

Liu Yi didn't finish the reinforcement plan of Fancheng until midnight, looked at his plan, and nodded with satisfaction, such a city, if the troops are enough, it is not easy for the Cao army to capture it.

Of course, if Jingzhou surrendered in advance as in history, it would be a different matter, flanking on both sides, trapped in a lonely city, without foreign aid, no matter how strong the city is, it has to kneel, after all, the attribute is not omnipotent, but it has a strengthening effect, if you cut off foreign aid, even if you are trapped, you can trap the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Alas~

Thinking of the situation that Jingzhou was about to face, Liu Yi also had a feeling of not knowing where to go for a while, he didn't seem to be able to control the situation of this battle, let alone stop Boss Cao, who was now expanding day by day, from going south.

Nothing was said all night.

Because of the relationship of sleeping late, Liu Yi slept until the next day when the sun was three poles before waking up, Mi Zhu was already waiting in the post house, Liu Sandao and others also packed their bags, as soon as Liu Yi came out, he could leave.

"Bo Yuan doesn't have to be in a hurry, it's not too late to eat some food and leave." Mi Zhu looked at Liu Yi and smiled.

"No, I can't eat it, let's go to Fancheng and eat again." Liu Yi didn't feel hungry either, took out the drawings he designed yesterday and handed them to Mi Zhu and said, "Let's go, get on the boat and say!" ”

The group went out of Xiangyang and came to the ferry outside the city, after Liu Yi got on the boat, he began to tell Mi Zhu in detail about the plan he thought of last night, and when he finished speaking, he had already arrived outside Fancheng.

"How can Bo Yuan be sure that the range of that Dougong must be extremely long?" Mi Zhu looked at Liu Yi puzzled, although there is a certain advantage in condescending, but it is impossible to say that the higher the farther, there is a degree in the middle, according to Liu Yi's design, under normal circumstances, the arrow cluster shot by the dougong can not shoot farther than the city wall, and because the dougong is much behind, the range is not as good as the city wall.

"This is the condensation of my Mojia technique combined with some yin and yang five elements and feng shui techniques, not that you can simply build the dougong when you see it." Liu Yi said casually, anyway, these things are not understood by ordinary people, let alone how to combine them with the Mojia technique...... Liu Yi didn't know it himself.

Mi Zhu frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of what kind of ability this was, but it sounded quite powerful, plus what Liu Yi made, it did have some mysterious effects, and he didn't ask more at the moment, so he went ashore with Liu Yi and began to communicate with Fancheng officials to help Liu Yi raise labor and the ninety craftsmen proposed by Liu Yi.

As for the materials, Liu Bei had already started to prepare, but there was no need to worry, Liu Yi and his party finally rested for a day, and then put themselves into the hot work again.
