.

The sun is fine in May, and the wind blowing from the north slope of Kunlun Mountain in the southwest, with the chill of the iceberg, blows gently, caresses the people, cool as water, and is very pleasant.

Fan Xiang took all the ordered soldiers to the north gate, walked on the ruined city wall, looked at the city gate tower with only a stone skeleton, the pavilion collapsed, a mess, sighed in his heart, and then took out a plan for the repair of the exquisite city, spread it on the ground, beckoned everyone to come over, and said with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, this is a simple description of this after the field inspection in the past two days, it may be a little not detailed, everyone take a closer look, although they have different opinions." ”

Everyone came over and squatted down to carefully examine the plan in front of Fanxiang.

This is a diagram of the construction of a star-shaped city wall with a complete view like an eight-pointed star, and a rectangular urn city is added outside the east gate and the north gate of the city. The urban construction pattern in the eight-pointed star shape is arranged in a jagged and orderly manner, and the depictions of residential houses, markets, roads, green belts, hills and pastoral fields are very fine.

"With the use of gunpowder and heavy artillery of the Beigong servant army, the original pattern of city defense is no longer applicable, and the city defense can no longer be done according to the previous specifications of the exquisite city wall. So, I used the principles of mathematics, geometry and other knowledge to reconstruct the city's defenses. This pattern is completely different from the previous rectangular city wall format, it is a new form of fortress, and on such a city wall pattern, a circular watchtower is also built, each watchtower can fight its own battle, and cooperate with each other, this is the easy to defend and difficult to attack the star-shaped fortress. ...... This form of fortress, I have carefully studied the "Eight Formations Secrets" in Master's military science before, and I think it is very suitable for the construction of our exquisite city defense system. ”

Fan Xiang pointed to the drawings, compared with the real scene of the north gate city wall, looked at everyone, and continued, "You can see that almost all the previous city defense facilities were razed to the ground by the enemy's heavy artillery, and there must be a reason. I came to observe last night that it was the previous defensive pattern of the city wall that could not withstand the heavy artillery bombardment, so it caused the tragedy of human destruction and destruction of the city. On the basis of the original city defense of the exquisite ancient city, we should take the star-shaped building as the construction direction, and build a solid circular watchtower on each star-shaped city wall that goes out in front of us, so that we can attack the enemy from a high position. ”

As he spoke, he walked slowly to the collapsed city tower, stroked the remnants of the thousand-year-old bricks, pondered for a long time, looked back at everyone, and continued: "The watchtowers we built on the city wall are mainly characterized by high-rise buildings, thick walls, iron fences, corner forts, etc., all for safety considerations: the buildings are high, which is convenient for condescending defense; the walls are thick, and they are not afraid of the enemy's chiseling of the wall or fire attack; the windows are small, and they all have iron grilles and window sashes; it is difficult for the enemy to shoot, and the corner forts are built at the four corners of the upstairs, commonly known as ' Swallow's Nest', the corner fort is equipped with a shooting hole, so that you can condescendingly fight back against the enemy who enters the city. ”

Fan Xiang walked back to everyone, squatted down to get the drawings, stood up, turned to look at the city, pointed to the west gate in the distance, and continued to everyone: "Now almost all the houses in the city are built of wood, which is easy to catch fire. Stone pigs and sheep pens, etc., the alleys of the village roads are stone roads or stone roads, the wells for taking water are stone wells, and in addition, in order to prevent the strong wind from blowing away the roof tiles, each tile of the roof is glued with mortar,......"

"But, Brother Fanxiang, how can we have so many stones here, besides, even if we go to the back mountain outside the south gate to quarry, how many manpower, material resources and man-hours will it take?"

Meador asked, of course, the question that everyone wanted to know the outcome of.

"Yes, it's normal for everyone to have this question. Where do you get so many stones?...... Hehe, don't worry about this, there is an inexhaustible swamp mud, you look at the swamp outside the West Gate, that is a huge masonry material base. Of course, we have to adopt a special process of making bricks and stones, that is, the production process of Qin bricks used when building the Great Wall. ...... Let's take a look at the scenery outside the West Gate first. ”

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Fanxiang, under the sun, stretching out to the west, was a dense poplar woodland, and in the shade of the woodland, there was a vast swampy land, reckless and green.

"If you look at the topography of the city, it is a gentle slope terrain that extends from the Kunlun Mountains to the northeast and gradually from high to low from south to north. This kind of terrain is suitable for building the Wai Long House, between the Wai Long House, those land that is conducive to cultivation, it will be used to create terraces such as the southwest boundary of Dongsheng University, one circle to expand the other, the cultivated land is precious, so the Wai Long House of our city residents should be built on the hillside. At that time, we can have the cultivator here, the worker has his industry, everyone who has the ability to work has a job, has a happy home, the old have a support, the young have a home, there is no exploitation, no oppression, no bullying and power, only reasonable rules, morality and justice, every individual or organization has the right and dignity of survival and development, everyone is mutually beneficial and cooperative, coexistence and win-win, it is a very beautiful ideal home. ”

Fan Xiang looked into the distance in the city and said calmly, affectionately and fascinated, because this was the ideal of the person he once loved deeply.

When everyone listened to these urban construction plans, they all admired and yearned for it. Everyone looked at this new home from afar, and their emotions were stirred, and they all had an ideal to fight for all their lives.

Chun Yutiying couldn't help but turn her head to look at Fanxiang's side, which was a side with crisp and well-defined outlines, her cheeks couldn't help but redden, and she hurriedly turned her head.

Everyone was immersed in distant reverie, and after a while, Fanxiang continued, "However, to achieve this ideal, we must first fight and try to live. ...... Okay, let's move on to urban defense planning. In short, the star-shaped city defense system is composed of a number of independent but can cover each other's battlements and watchtowers. Based on this, through the exquisite geometric design, the star-shaped city defense can not only create a large 'dead zone' for the besieging side through crossfire, but also in order to resist the attack of the enemy's heavy artillery fire, but also in order to save as much construction time and building materials as possible, the star-shaped city defense wall is compared with the castle in the past, in order to reduce the hit rate of artillery and build the city wall lower and thicker, so as to reduce the enemy's heavy artillery strike as much as possible. ”

Everyone listened carefully to Fanxiang's explanation of every detail of the city defense, and everyone simulated in their own minds ,——that under the defense of this star-shaped castle, the offensive and defensive posture of both the enemy and the enemy realized that most of this siege war would become a siege of attrition.

"With the danger of the north of the mountain and the benefit of the meanders of the river, we will be the people who guard the land outside the border. ...... General Fanda's plan is very good, but even if the masonry of the palace and the palace wall are all demolished to build the city wall, I am afraid that it will not be enough. Chun Yuyi nodded, holding the "Warring States Policy" in his hand, looking at this urban construction plan carefully, touching the sparse beard on his chin, thoughtfully.

"Brother Chunyu, I've already thought about this. We can organize the military and civilians to build the wall while demolishing the palace wall, and at the same time, we mobilize some people to go to the mountain behind the south gate to quarry. On the way here, I looked at this place, although ordinary limestone is not common, but dark gray, cyan and white marble is all over the mountain, At the same time, a considerable part of the materials we seized this time are sticky ingredients such as glutinous rice and corn, which can be used to produce Qin bricks. ”

Chun Yuyi gently patted his left palm with the "Warring States Policy" in his right hand, pondered for a while, and said: "Yes, the most important material for making Qin bricks is glutinous rice mortar king, which is a very viscous adhesive, it is made by boiling glutinous rice into porridge, and then mixing it with lime and sand and stone into a slurry, which is used to make brick walls, so that the walls are very strong and strong." Of course, all of this can only be done manually, and it takes a lot of manual labor to support such a large project. But there are gains and losses in everything!"

"Well, you're right, if you want to survive, you have to sacrifice, don't you?" Fan Xiang smiled, looking at everyone, his tone firm and resolute.

"Okay, this lime firing, I am responsible, I am a medical practitioner, this is not difficult for me, it is nothing more than limestone or marble and other materials, calcined at high temperature in the earthen kiln, after selection, and water according to the ratio of 1:3 ~ 3.5 digestion, mature lime liquid, purification and separation of slag, and then centrifugal dehydration, drying at a certain temperature, and then fine screening, that is, the lime finished product we want. Of course, the quality of fired lime depends on the balance of wind, coal and material, and the calcination temperature of wind and coal is the main condition. This firing technique is not a problem, we have so many ceramic firing craftsmen here. As for glutinous rice porridge, you have to mobilize some aunts and girls to make it, well, maybe the iron pot is not enough,......。 Dr. Chun Yu touched his sparse beard in one hand, held the "Warring States Policy" in the other, and looked up at the mountain behind the south gate, as if he was talking to Fanxiang, and as if talking to himself.

"Dad, this work of cooking glutinous rice porridge, we will take the more than 2,000 rescued girls to complete. Chun Yu Tiying and Liu Feiyan glanced at each other, smiled at each other, and said.

"What about me? What am I responsible for?...... You know how to bully me, huh. Mei Duoer pouted, looking at everyone, with an unhappy face.

Chun Yu Tiying and Liu Feiyan snorted, hehe, and said with a smile, "How can we forget you, don't you still have twelve little girls with you? You can bring them all." ”

At this time, Xiong Heifeng looked at everyone, turned his head to Fan Xiang, raised his voice, and said in a rough voice, "Brother Fan Xiang, do you have anything to explain about the armor and ordnance?"

Fan Xiang glanced at Hei Feng, thought for a while, and said, "In this way, Brother Hei Feng, you take someone to classify and count all the current inventory of ordnance first, it's best to give me an exact number at the supper tonight, if there is anything you don't understand, you can let Brother Chun Yu assist you, okay?"

"Okay, brother, don't worry, I'll go. ”

Seeing that everything was settled, Fan Xiang clapped his hands and said to everyone, "Okay, now everyone knows how to do it, then let's take their places now, go and organize the subordinate personnel to prepare for tomorrow's work, and I will invite everyone to eat Swan Lake grilled fish for supper at night, but it is particularly spicy, don't come if you can't eat it." The tone was relaxed, and he deliberately glanced at Mei Duoer, smiling.

"Hmph, I'm going to come. Mei Duoer looked at the evil smile floating on Fanxiang's face, stomped her foot fiercely, and pulled Ti Ying and Fei Yan to leave first.

The rest of the people finally dispersed, each busy with their own work, leaving only Fanxiang to stand on the dilapidated tower of the north gate, looking at the clouds floating slowly above the desert. Under the sea of clouds, the surface of Swan Lake is shimmering with turquoise, and several white swans swim on it,......。
