Chapter 562: In a dilemma
Mohai Province!
Ling Xia looked at the city wall in front of him and showed a trace of thought, now he has completed the reorganization and reorganization of the army, the soldiers have received quilts and cotton clothes for the winter, food and equipment have been allocated in place, each army has built its own camps and school grounds, logistics, intelligence, guard stations and corps command headquarters have also been built, and now there is only the city wall and the trap area outside.
At this moment, the reorganization and reorganization of the various legions are being carried out in an orderly manner, taking advantage of this time, Ling Xia called Mo Wanming, Lu Jianxing and others to the top of the city wall, before Mo Wanming only repaired the city walls on both sides of the main gate, and the city walls in the direction of the side gates of the two wings were not repaired because of the weather and materials, looking at the towering city wall in front of him, Ling Xia secretly thought.
"Horse, the main city is safe for the time being, but the city gates in the left and right wings have not yet started, it's not that the last general is not doing his best, there are really no materials, there is no place to get green bricks, wood, lime, sand and other materials." With a sigh, Mo Wanming said: "Fortunately, it is winter now, and the rebels should not attack, so we should be able to slow down." ”
"Hold off?" Ling Xia shook his head: "It's impossible to slow down, if it weren't for the fact that I robbed the rebels' grain, grass and supplies this time, they would definitely have deployed troops to attack the city at this moment, although they lost their supplies and could not march into the siege for the time being, but they would definitely jointly apply for supplies and equipment for Xia Yuanjie and Yingtian, once their supplies were replenished, they would send troops." ”
"Are you saying that the rebels dare to travel long distances to attack our city?" Looking at Ling Xia with a stunned expression, Mo Wanming showed a suspicious expression on her face: "Won't it?" The winter wind and snow weather are not conducive to the troops rushing to attack the city, and the rebels are strong and strong, so there is no need to rush at all, they can wait until the beginning of spring next year to attack us. ”
"This is exactly what the rebels want, and if we are really paralyzed, we will definitely suffer a catastrophe." When the words fell, Ling Xia paused, and then continued: "Unlike our method of preparing materials, grain and grass, we are self-prepared, but the source of food and grass supply for the rebels is maintained by the trading building, and the amount they consume every day is astronomical.
With such a large supply, even the rich countries can't afford it. Therefore, the longer the time drags on, the greater the burden on the trading building. Our materials are collected and purchased from the people, but the materials of the trading building are accumulated for generations, as long as those stocks are continuously consumed, the trading city will go bankrupt one day, and once the trading building falls, the rebels' materials will be gone.
I can think of this, and the trading building can naturally think of it, not to mention the rebels, based on this drawback, the rebels can only carry out a blitzkrieg and strive to end the war as soon as possible, so it is impossible for Ying Qiankun and Yu Qianqiong to wait until the beginning of spring next year to attack the city, not that they don't want to hide from the wind, snow, frost and cold, but their materials can't afford to consume, understand? ”
"The last general is stupid, but fortunately the horse is instructing, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe." After humbly being taught, Mo Wanming immediately said: "I'm going to gather people and build the walls of the two wings, as for the stones?" In the end, some of the vacant houses in the city will be demolished, and the stones and timber that have been removed will be used to repair the city walls, and the walls will be repaired as quickly as possible. ”
"Let the Second Army and the Third Army repair the walls on the left flank, let the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army repair the walls on the right flank, and as for you, stay in the main city and build defensive positions, put on all the catapults and siege crossbows, and then arrange the outside trap area properly, focusing on designing traps for cavalry." After Ling Xia finished speaking, he asked everyone to split up and start acting.
