Even if the Chu State Boat Division camped at night, it could not be chaotic at all, and with a light order, a hundred war boats landed in an orderly manner, and with a loud sound, the war boats dropped anchor in the chasm.

Anchors are not available in this era, and anchor chains are even less available. Wei Guozhoushi used a stone pier, the stone pier is a big stone tied to the rope, relying on the weight of the big stone itself to maintain the stability of the ship, because there is no grip function, the ratio of the weight of the stone pier to the ship's load weight is about 1:500 according to experience, that is, the forty-ton large-wing warship, the weight of the stone pier is more than 300 Wei Jin, and it is extremely difficult to throw the boat off the 300 Wei Jin thing, the ditch water is countercurrent, and some war boats actually collided together when they settled.

Some of the Wei Guozhou divisions camped down, and some continued to row forward at night to report the news to Daliang. Since it was in the territory of Wei, Honglu had no reason to stop him, although he knew that the Wei people would inform the Qin people of their own situation.

"The Jing people have arrived in Doucheng?" Yun He had not been disarmed, and was still discussing with his generals the formation for tomorrow's battle, when the Wei people came to report the news.

"Exactly." The person who came was just a small boatman, "The Chu people have thirty-four new ships, which are similar to pig-noses, and are stronger than ordinary large-wing warships. ”

"Pig nose?" Including Yun He, a Qin general laughed. The shape of the ship is like a pig's nose, which is really weird.

"Yes, yes." The shipwright himself laughed. "Everyone said that this was a pig-nosed boat, and the Chu people were displeased."

"What's so weird?" A few people laughed, and Yun He asked again. "Who is the Captain of the Boat?"

"I don't see anything else weird." The captain replied, and stopped as he said the next.

Yun He knew what he meant, and casually took out Qin Banliang in his arms and threw it to him. The shipkeeper came to report the news overnight, and when he saw that the Qin people only rewarded Qin for half a tael, he was suddenly unhappy, and he thanked him and said, "The general of the Chu State Boat Division is red." The villain retired. ”

Sure enough, it was red, Yun He muttered. After being insulted by Yang Wenjun in the afternoon, Yun He is still haunted by it. Thirty-nine years ago, the State of Chu sent 150,000 troops to collect 15 euphemism by the river, and the two had a big battle in Dongting County. At that time, he was just a boat official, and the Qin State did not attach importance to the boat master, so he only disrupted and reorganized the captured war boats, and arranged some Qin Zhou people. As a young man, he rose to prominence in this battle and eventually became the general of the Qin State Boat Division, and Honglu was also very young at that time......

"General," the subordinates saw that Yun He was a little distracted, and waited for a while before whispering softly.

"Yes." Yun He, who came back to his senses, hummed. "As expected, the Jing people really sent a new type of big wing to meet the battle."

Although the state of Chu has driven away customers, after decades of operation and less than the investment of blood, some information can still be transmitted to the Xianyang State Governor's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's a pity that the spy doesn't understand the boat, and the information sent out is just 'Jingren's new war boat beats the drum on the Huaishui, and its speed is like flying'. This kind of information is actually worthless, and no one can say how fast it flies.

As for the characteristics of the three pulps, people who don't understand the war boat can't tell how many pulps there are, only that the oars of the war boat are so dense that they are too many to count, who knows how many pulps. And the killer corner, that is, the pig nose, Xiong Jing designed it underwater, and there is no shadow on the water surface. Unless the river is clear and close, no one can imagine such a thing that can kill people if they hit it once. In the eyes of Yun He and others, there is nothing new about the new war boat of the Chu State, and besides, he also has a killer feature this time.

"Is that Xiangzi City?" Early in the morning, standing on Chen Ying's four-foot-eight feet of Wangcheng, Xiong Jing pointed to Xiangzi City to the east of Chen Ying.

"It's Xiang Zicheng." The county magistrate replied. "Xiangzi City is thirty miles high, the city is three feet high and six feet high, and there is also a small city in it."

There is a gap of about three miles between Xiangzicheng and Chen Ying, which is not a very long distance - according to convention, there are some small cities near the big city as support, Chengyang, Yingdu, and Chen Ying. Look at Xiang Zicheng, and then look at Chen Ying's outer city, Xiong Jing has been thinking about how to defend the city. He hoped to apply the relatively mature city defense techniques of later generations to this era, but unfortunately, he could hardly think of any good way.

A fortress is impossible, there is no fortress without firearms; It is also impossible to have a horse face, and now the city of Chu has an urn city, a jack gate, a suspension bridge, and a moat, but there is no horse face, but the amount of work to build the horse face in a short period of time is too large, and it is likely to become a stepping stone for the enemy to attack the city halfway; And then there's ......

If there is any more, there is really none, the Mo family and Lu Ban have already invented many siege and defense tools, and what Xiong Jing can do is to arrange the trebuchet that arrived later in the city.

The king suddenly fell ill in Chen Ying, and after he recovered, he did not go to Daliang, and Yingdu brought in armor and materials to defend the city, especially trebuchets into the city. No matter how stupid this posture is, he knows that something is wrong.

"Dare to ask the king, is it possible that the Wei people want to attack me again?" The villagers in the back looked at each other for a while, and Chen Jian had to ask.

Everyone's eyes fell on Xiong Jing, they didn't dare to look at his face, their eyes stopped on his clothes. Xiong Jing smiled and said, "It's not the Wei people who want to attack me, it's the Qin and Wei countries that attack me together." ”

"Ahh Unconsciously, including Chen Jian, everyone couldn't help but sigh, and their complexions also changed greatly. The city in the sun seemed to be covered by dark clouds, dim and dim.

"In the next few days, the armor of Yingdu will continue to be transported into Chen Ying, and the city will officially begin to be fortified, this matter ......" Xiong Jing looked at Sima Chen of Chen County, who had been stationed in Chengyang and was almost broken by the Qin army. The matter was entrusted to General Chen. ”

"Minister......" Chen Bu naturally looked at Xiang Yan, he thought that Xiang Yan was in the king, and he would not personally order him to defend the city.

"You don't want to?" Xiong Jing didn't notice his gaze, thinking that he had some concerns.

"Respectfully obey the order!" Chen Bu said. "Today it is convenient for equipment inside and outside the city."

"Be prepared to besiege the city for half a year, or even a year." Xiong Jing confessed again.

According to the plan of the Great Sima Mansion. There was no hope of repelling Qin and Weiqi's Lianheng attacks, and there was no hope of a field battle with them, and no matter how much Chu scavenged, there was no army that could compete with the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Qi. Since the forces are absolutely weak, they should win on defense. That is, to drag, until the enemy is exhausted and does not want to fight anymore.

Chengyang may be lost, but Xixian cannot be lost, Xincai cannot be lost, Chen Ying cannot be lost, Pengcheng cannot be lost, and Xiapi cannot be lost. It was impossible to fight against the seven or eight hundred thousand troops of the Three Kingdoms, but only garrisoned troops at these five nodes, and the Chu State still had enough troops.

And these five nodes are all by the river, as long as the government can build four or five hundred new wings, then the war will enter a state of stalemate; If there were more large-wing warships, the Chu army could cut off the enemy's grain routes along the waterway and strike at important nodes behind them. This is no longer a war on land, but a war on the water.

This is how the plan is made, but there are too many uncertainties, the most critical of which is the river itself. In autumn and winter, not to mention the depletion of the river, it may freeze, and once it freezes, the water war turns into a land war again. Fortunately, the Huai River has not formed thick ice for a hundred years, but it is difficult to say whether these rivers to the north of the Huai River have frozen. There are no written hydrological records in the state of Chu, and the weather varies greatly from year to year, with some years being colder and some years being warmer.

Xiong Jing said that he wanted to make plans for a year, and Chen Jian and these people immediately gave up. In a year's time, it is said that the Song people were surrounded for nine months and then changed their children and eaten, analyzed the remains and cooked, and Chen Ying was surrounded for a year.

Including Lian Buyu, Chen Ying garrisoned a maximum of 30,000 people, that is, only two people were left in each household, and 720,000 stone of corn was needed a year. Now Chen Ying really doesn't have so much corn, but the corn will come by boat. Xiong Jing looked at Chen Jian and the so-called village elders behind him, and finally said, "I don't want to defend the city with you." ”

"The King... Heroic. Under the leadership of Chen Jian, the villagers stammered in response.

"Also, aren't you a countryman at the moment?" Xiong Jing said with a smile that he had received a lot of complaints in the past few days, all of which were sued by wealthy families in the city to buy Jane. "It's great to have money, but you can buy Jane, you pay five hundred, I give thousand, you give thousand, I give three thousand, but no matter how much money you can't keep, what's the use? It is better to have a sword than to have money. Except for the two people who went to Yingdu, the selection of the people of Chen County was postponed. Whoever can recruit more soldiers, and who fights the most heroically, then who is the countryman of Chen County. ”
