Chapter 44: Building a Camp
After hearing the news, Yang Mu frowned.
Finally, is it still exposed?
Originally, he planned to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to launch a surprise sneak attack.
But now it seems that this country is full of enemy people, and it is obvious that it will not work for the five thousand soldiers to get close to the enemy's garrison without knowing it.
After this small fierce battle, the enemy has already received the news, and it will be even more difficult to sneak attack.
Immediately, Yang Mu summoned Wei Zhongquan and the five thousand generals to discuss.
"What, we're not sneaking up anymore?!" Thousands of people will be puzzled.
"Your Majesty thinks twice, while the Zheng army is still unprepared, we can just kill it, and it is better to have an advantage than on the frontal battlefield!" He Sang of the 2,000-man team said.
The last general also agreed with the two generals.
Qu Yong, He Sang, Wen Fei, Zhang Han, Li Yu, and other five thousand people will express their positions one after another, and unanimously believe that they should immediately launch a sneak attack to win a greater opportunity.
"What does the general think?" Yang Mu looked at Wei Zhongquan.
Wei Zhongquan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Forgive me, a sneak attack is indeed the best way at the moment, even if there is a risk, but the gain is also huge, you have to try it to know." ”
"What if the other party had already made a calculation?" Yang Mu asked rhetorically, and said: "Wouldn't it be bad if the sneak attack didn't arrive, but Zheng Jun discovered our weakness?" ”
"This ......," Wei Zhong said.
The five thousand generals stopped talking.
Indeed, they didn't bring siege equipment and baggage this time, although the city is short and easy to climb, but there must be ladders, right?
If the enemy army discovers this weakness and retreats into Silla City, it will be embarrassing, not to mention rescuing Shencheng, maybe Shenguo will be destroyed, and this side will still not be able to capture Anluo City.
"That'...... What do we do now? "Wei Zhongquan is also embarrassed, can't he set up camp on the spot and wait for the other party to attack, right?
Yang Mu said: "Let's station down first and wait for them to attack." ”
Wei Zhongquan: "......"
The five thousand generals also looked at each other.
Your Majesty, you can't be joking, right?
What can a makeshift camp do if the enemy attacked?
With 5,000 soldiers, waiting for the enemy to attack, which book of war has such an example?
Yang Mu didn't explain, but just asked a little eunuch beside him to find a few large white cloths and a few solid pieces of charcoal.
Then, I opened the library in my mind and opened the camp that resisted the Xiongnu during the Qin and Han dynasties.
Speaking of this thing, it is a product of a special historical period, especially in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the northern Xiongnu were raging, and there were three defenses against the Xiongnu, the first was the Great Wall, the second was the fortress, and the third was this kind of temporary camp.
In the face of the strong mobility of the Xiongnu, the soldiers marched in the field, especially in the open area, and building such a camp was equivalent to building a temporary fortress, even if it was attacked by the Huns, they had to be afraid of three points.
About half an hour later, he called Wei Zhongquan to the table in the tent, pointed to a few drawings on the table, and said: "General, you give the order, only one thousand people will be left to be responsible for guarding, and the rest of the people will cut down trees and immediately build a camp according to the drawings, and nothing can be changed." ”
"Defense map?" Wei Zhongquan took it and frowned.
"The general will take a closer look." Yang Mu said.
After a while......
"I see." Wei Zhongquan suddenly realized, showing a little surprise.
This is a bird's-eye view, a very neat pattern, but what surprised Wei Zhongquan is that the lines in the picture are very exquisite, each stroke seems to be very exquisite, rotated left and right, you can see different degrees of symmetry, there are many small marks on it, detailed to the size, at a glance it can be seen that this is the construction method of a camp.
"Your Majesty wants to build such a camp?" Wei Zhongquan wondered.
Yang Mu nodded and said, "General, please take a look." ”
As he spoke, he opened the second white cloth and pointed it out to Wei Zhongquan.
This is a section of the wooden wall of the camp, each side is drawn in detail, there are six sides in total, each side is the same, basically the same, on two of the sides there is a section that extends out, like two tentacles.
"Your Majesty, what are these three pieces of wood fixed underneath?" Wei Zhongquan pointed out his doubts.
"Nothing, the basic structure, the principle of triangle fixation, geometric knowledge ......"
"Hmm...... What about these empty places......"
"This is where the four hundred new soldiers are active, and with the battle formation training a few days ago, it will not be difficult for them to adapt."
"Battle formation......" Wei Zhongquan muttered, in his impression, the left and right sides of the battle are just some phalanxes, and that is the best way to cooperate.
Immediately, he reached for the third drawing.
"What are these ladder-like things?"
"No, no, no, the general is wrong, it's not a ladder." Yang Mu waved his hand again and again, and explained with a smile: "The design of this camp is divided into three layers, the lower layer is the battle array, the middle is the spearmen, and the platforms above are used to stand people, and the archers can directly stand on the top and project below...... Look, general, there are ropes fixed on each ladder, and a stone hangs at the end, and when the enemy rushes into the camp around the camp, he just pulls it high and then lets go, like swinging, and throws these stones at the enemy, causing chaos. ”
"Then why is there a gap around the camp? Did Your Majesty miss something......"
Yang Mu smiled and picked up the fourth white cloth.
"Look here, a horizontal log is interspersed with a lot of small wooden things, called rejection horses, but they are taller than ordinary rejection horses, and they can be placed in these gaps, and they can enter and exit freely, so that the enemy can't figure out the direction of the breakthrough."
Wei Zhongquan nodded, his mind was even more confused, these things seemed to sound very fresh, but ...... Did it work?
He didn't think that something made of wood could hold back thousands of enemy troops.
"Your Majesty, the minister still has a question, will the enemy really come?" This is Wei Zhongquan's biggest concern, if it takes a lot of effort to set up the camp, but the enemy does not come, it will not only be a blind work, but also a delay in the fighter?
"I ask you, if you are fighting on the front line, will there be people left behind the enemy to defend the city?"
"Of course, otherwise it's no different from not occupying it." Wei Zhongquan replied.
"That's right, now Anluo City is the rear of Zheng Guo's army, how can we leave 510 million soldiers to garrison, we are now equivalent to directly attacking the rear of Zheng Guo's army, do you say Zheng Jun is in a hurry?"
Wei Zhongquan's eyes lit up, it was indeed the case, once the Zheng army found out about the existence of the Cangguo army, they would definitely be terrified, worried about posing a threat to the front line.
In this case, heavy troops will definitely be sent in, and as long as the two sides are about the same number, then the enemy will definitely attack and try to eliminate the threat.
"According to the speed calculation, Zheng Guo's army should send spies over before dark, and tomorrow there will be a large-scale assembly, during this time, we will first cut down the nearby forests and transport them to the surrounding camp, not too delicate, only need to do the most basic model."
"Understood." Wei Zhongquan nodded, folded a few pieces of cloth and put them in his arms, and said, "Then without further ado, the minister will do it immediately......
