Chapter 449: Xiongcheng
Chapter 449: Xiongcheng
"What a majestic city!!" Seeing the city of Mogan standing in the distance, Qian Buli couldn't help but admire. Fun mini-games .
The city of Murgan is an ancient city with a history of thousands of years, and it was originally the center of economic exchanges, but after Marshal Peter took charge of the defense, the city was built as a strategic center, and countless people and material resources were spent to expand the city several times on the original basis, which can be said to have erected a natural danger out of thin air.
The architectural style of Ji Zhou and Rus is different, the humanities and customs are not the same, the city wall of Mogan City is more than ten meters higher than the imperial city wall of Ji Zhou, and on the corner of the city wall, a castle that is several times higher than the city wall has been built, with rows of small windows on it, like a modern building that does not leave the world.
The walls of Murgan City are trapezoidal, repaired in one, not like the mother wall of Ji Zhouguo, the lowest layer is the place where the pikemen, swordsmen and other melee troops stand, the middle is the place where the archers stand, and the top layer is very open, there is enough space for catapults. The city wall of Ji Zhou Kingdom is only a city wall, but the city wall of Mogan City is full of alleys, and from a distance it looks like a dam full of rat holes, when the lowest wall is dangerous, soldiers will support the front line from the alley, of course, if the enemy occupies the lowest city wall, you can also attack through the alley hole, and you don't have to risk great danger to climb the ladder.
In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the people, the city of Ji Zhou often has four city gates in the south, east and west, but there are only two city gates in Mogan City, which are built next to each other. Once the battle broke out, the city gate was blocked with sandbags, and the city became a real iron-walled city, and the enemy could only climb through the city walls.
A river flowed quietly in front of the city of Megan, though it was already early winter. But the river has not yet frozen, this is the Klema River. The flow of the river is not large but not small, after the expansion of the city of Megan, the Klema River should have flowed through the center of the city, but Marshal Peter in order to reduce the danger factor of the city of Megan, sent people to re-excavate the river, so that the river was divided into two and the city was spared, so that the city of Megan had another artificial barrier.
The suspension bridge in front of the city gate was more than 30 meters long. It is said that when pulling up the suspension bridge, each suspension bridge needs ten strong men to pull the winch, and when the winch is put down, it takes twenty strong men, otherwise one is not well controlled, and the suspension bridge will fall to pieces.
"I don't know how many soldiers of Ji Zhouguo are sleeping here......" Hearing Qian Wudi's admiration, Yu Chi Fengyun let out a long sigh, and he remembered the past again. Listen to the scout's report of money. Wei Chi Fengyun put down the military affairs at hand, and took Zhang Jinwu and others out of the city to greet Qian Buli in person, all the generals had not seen Qian Buli for a long time, and they couldn't help but sigh, but Qian Budi's attention was quickly attracted by Mogancheng.
Qian Buli looked around, and the terrain around Mogan City was very flat. There are no hills, which adds to the difficulty of the siege. Qian Buli remembered that there was a sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War: Ten is to surround it, five is to attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be fought, and the enemy will be able to divide it, and if it is less, it can be escaped, and if it is not, it can be avoided. This sentence means that if the enemy is ten times stronger, you can encircle and annihilate the enemy, if you are five times stronger, you must take the initiative to attack, if you are stronger than the enemy, you must actively fight, and if you are evenly divided in strength, you must induce the enemy to divide your forces. If the strength is not as good as the opponent, you must retreat first. If you can't fight the enemy, you have to hide from the enemy. But Qian did not leave the things that were in the books, and in the war in the land he personally commanded. When the army was inferior, he once ordered to take the initiative to attack, and when he fought in Yizhou, he also broke through the city when the strength was not much different, but at this moment, facing Mogan City, Qian Buli knew that without ten times the enemy's strength, it was really difficult to capture the city!
Thinking of this, Qian Buli's mood relaxed a little, although the Rus people are good at fighting in winter, and the combat strength of Ji Zhou's ** team will be greatly affected, but with such a strong city, it is completely possible to have a tough battle with the Rus!
"How many people can fit in Murgan City?" Qian Buli asked softly. Although it is too passive to trap a city, there is no better way for Qian Buli to leave, he can't divide his troops, and showing troops outside in the ice and snow can only create a chance for the enemy to annihilate the ground, so Qian Buli hopes that Mogan City is big enough to accumulate all the troops in the city. Qian Buli was not afraid that the Rus would besiege the city with one part and make a detour to attack Ji Zhouguo, and when he left Yunzhou, he issued an order to transfer 10,000 royal guards from the imperial city again, under the command of Qin Chongsan, plus a soldier left by Pan Zhi on the defense line of the United States, as well as a standing army transferred from all over the country.
"Peter has been a shrunken turtle in front of the old man for decades, he only knows how to keep repairing the city defenses, and he doesn't dare to fight a field battle with my Ji Zhou army, so this Mogan City...... Hehe, big enough. Yu Chi Fengyun said with a smile, and then pointed to the city wall of Mogan City with his hand: "Not to mention anything else, the alleys in the city wall are connected, and there are many stone rooms on all floors that can live in people, plus those four castles, at least seventy or eighty thousand people can live." ”
"How many Rus' are there in the city?"
"About 130,000. ”
"Was it quiet in the old days? Did you come out to make trouble? ”
"We have more soldiers than their people, and they don't dare to come out and make trouble if they have a few of them. Zhang Jinwu said with a smile.
As he spoke, everyone had already come to the Klema River, and the place where the money was close to the shore of the current water was already covered with ice stubble, and he couldn't help shaking his head: "I don't need it, in another month, the Klema River will become a glacier." ”
"With this Xiongcheng, it is enough to resist the attack of the army, and there is no need to rely on anything. Zhang Jinwu was full of confidence: "This time it's the turn of those yellow-haired ghosts to suffer!" "In the past, it was not only Wei Chi Fengyun's army that hit the nail here, as the main army of the Rus country, Zhang Jinwu's subordinates folded the loss of the Fengyun army here.
Andrew looked to the side, Zhang Jinwu was just using the term 'yellow-haired ghost' to describe the Rus. He has heard this kind of talk a lot, the two countries have been at odds for a long time, and have accumulated a lot of hatred, and it is not strange to speak ill of him, as a defector, Andrew knows when to be shrewd and when to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Money does not leave looking up. He had to lean back to see the city: "Unless there is a structured catapult, it will be difficult for the city to be defeated!" ”
"Than catapults. Who can compare to your Earth Celestial Legion? Hehe, we are condescending, and the Rus will not take advantage of it at all. Yu Chi Fengyun said with a smile: "You came at the right time, put the 'artifact' of the Tianwei Legion's armor-breaking army on the castle, you can figure out your own way, it is best to let the artifact take care of the city walls on the left and right, so that the two artifacts can protect the whole city." "Yu Chi Fengyun is making arrangements. He once went to the armor-breaking army to watch the 'artifact' in order to judge whether the artifact could be placed on the castle and how powerful it would be, but who knew that Sun Zhongde, the chief general of the armor-breaking army, led the soldiers to refuse outsiders to approach the artifact, and even did not give Wei Chi Fengyun face, and finally Yu Chi Fengyun had to return in a huff. If you change someone else, you will definitely hold a grudge, if you mention it here, even if you don't want to leave money. For the sake of internal harmony, Sun Zhongde can only be punished, but Wei Chi Fengyun is not an ordinary person, this old man has been on the battlefield for decades, open-minded, and he doesn't take the loss of face to heart at all.
"Hmm. Qian Buli nodded and walked to the city gate first. The gates of Megan are seven meters high and six meters wide, allowing two carriages to be driven side by side. Walking through the city gate, Qian Buli saw sandbags piled up on both sides like mountains, and the sandbags were stored here to seal the city gate as quickly as possible.
"The last general knocks on the general!" Guan Yudong, who was waiting in the city, led a group of military judges to jump off their horses neatly, because the four major field armies were gathered together, Wei Chi Fengyun ordered the establishment of the General Military Judge Advocate General, and Guan Yudong was honored to become the first Chief of Military Justice, this power is very great, and more than 200,000 soldiers must be supervised by him.
"Get up. "The buildings of the city of Mergan are neat and orderly, and the streets are filled except for the military judges and some soldiers in front of them. Not a single one. Apparently in anticipation of his arrival, the city of Murgan had been placed under martial law. Money is not far away. I can't see the end of the long street, and when I look at it from a distance, I feel that the city is very majestic, but when you enter it, you can really feel how huge the city is, if you don't count the capitals and governments of various countries, the city of Lagan should be the largest city in the world!
"How much did it cost Peter to build a city like this!" Qian Buli sighed.
"It's not just money, it's time. Wei Chi Fengyun continued: "All the taxes in the entire southern defense area belong to Peter's tribe, and there is no need to hand them over to Nicholas VII, on the contrary, Nicholas VII also sends Peter a huge amount of military expenses every year, just so that Peter can form a strong border army, and Peter uses almost all the land money to build the city." This Peter...... Hehe, it's really more than enough to keep it and not enough to be enterprising! ”
"These yellow-haired ghosts are very strange, they are full of ambition in their bones, and their personalities are even more savage, they fight this today and that tomorrow, but they like to build their homes like iron buckets. General, don't you know, if you have time to walk to the north, you will know, those cities are like comparing with each other, building stronger than the other, fortunately after the surrender of the city of Mogan, they also surrendered, otherwise this city fights, we may have to kill and wound many people. Zhang Jinwu said with a smile.
Andrew's gaze helplessly avoided the side again, among all the generals of Ji Zhouguo, his favorite was Qian Buli, because Qian Buli never said mean things, and it was not so easy to get along with other generals. It's just that Andrew doesn't know that if there is no special purpose, Qian Buli has always been very kind to people, even in the face of the enemy, once he shows his killing intentions, it will be followed by thunder methods, because Qian Buli will not make the prey alert.
"How many cities are there north of Megan?" Qian Buli asked.
"There are three relatively large cities, and there are more than a dozen medium cities and small cities, don't look at the desolation south of the city of Megan, that is because of the constant war, in the past when we attacked the Rus' country, the soldiers always could not break through the city of Megan, and those cities north of the city of Murgan are relatively rich. Wei Chi Fengyun replied.
Qian Buli pondered for a moment and asked, "Each city has assigned a garrison?" ”
"Yes. ”
"How many troops are distributed?"
"Not much, a total of more than 20,000 people, since they have surrendered, I don't want to embarrass them, the dispatch of troops is to prevent some people from taking advantage of the fire to rob. Wei Chi Fengyun replied.
"Time is running out now, and I only rely on the grain and grass sent from the rear..... I'm worried that we won't be able to meet the needs of this 200,000-strong army, and we have to find a way ourselves, and there should be a lot of oil and water in those cities, right? ”
When Wei Chi Fengyun heard the words 'time is running out', he couldn't help but be stunned, and looked carefully at the money that did not leave, and the cash did not leave with hidden worries in his eyes, and he pondered for a long time, and replied: "I have sent people to buy grain in small quantities, in order to prevent the price of grain from rising, I can't make a big show, and ...... We are not used to eating their grain, so we should urge the cabinet to step up the distribution of grain and grass. ”
"Yes, they are all pasta, and what kind of jicama, many people are not used to eating it. Zhang Jinwu continued.
"Jicama? It's a potato, right? Qian Buli was stunned for a moment, and turned to Andrew: "Andrew, how do you eat jicama?" ”
"Jicama...... It's just like that, you can eat it roasted or boiled, or you'll be mashed into a puree. Andrew replied inexplicably, he didn't know why Qian Buli suddenly became interested in jicama.
"That's a potato, good thing!" Qian Buli said with a smile.
"Good stuff?" Zhang Jinwu's face was full of disbelief.
Qian Buli nodded affirmatively, he remembered reading from the book that the nutritional composition of potatoes is very comprehensive, and the nutritional structure is more reasonable, and people only rely on potatoes and whole milk to maintain life and health.
"There is such a thing as jicama, and the common people here mainly feed on bread and jicama. Andrew said.
"Collect in large quantities, as much as you want!" Qian Buli said categorically.
"I'll talk about this later, general, let's go to patrol the city first, many soldiers miss you very much!" Zhang Jinwu said with a smile.
"There is no hurry to patrol the city. Wei Chi Fengyun said slowly: "The general has also worked hard along the way, let's go to the camp to rest for a while." "Wei Chi Fengyun saw Qian Buli's worried look for the first time, he knew that Qian Buli must have known something, and Qian Buli's sentence 'time is running out' made him feel even more worried, so Yu Chi Fengyun wanted to understand the situation immediately.
Zhang Jinwu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Wei Chi Fengyun's solemn face, he couldn't help but nodded subconsciously: "It's okay, then let's go to the camp." ”
