Chapter 137: Wu Liangmou's Conspiracy (Alliance Leader Plus Change)

After the generals of the left army calmed down, they also knew that a majestic city like Huai'an would never be able to be taken without taking thousands of lives to fill it. Therefore, they no longer insist on the goal of breaking the city, as they did during the day. It's just that everyone is very unwilling in their hearts, and they can't even talk a little unrefreshed.

In particular, several young people in the General Staff Department were arranged by their families to defect to the Red Turban Army, and they wanted to work from the dragon. Now that I see that Zhu Eighty-one finally has a chance to stand on his own, but he has to give up halfway, how can he not be in a hurry to burn the fire? ! Therefore, after dinner, they crowded together in Wu Liangmou's sleeping tent, and discussed countermeasures with you and me.

"It is said that Huai'an City is difficult to fight, how can you know if you don't fight?! The defenders in that city were already frightened by us during the day, and if they really want to attack at any cost, I don't believe that I can't climb that broken wall! ”

"Didn't you listen to what the surnamed Li said, he didn't have any real skills, the key was that he was afraid that the salt merchants in the city would try their best to help him. One family produces two hundred families, and ten families are two thousand. After all, there are fewer people on our side, and even if we barely make it to the city, it is estimated that it will be difficult to gain a firm foothold. ”

"Go up with grenades and blow them up. I don't believe it, those who have never seen a grenade are not afraid! ”

"Two catties weigh one, when you climb up, how many can each person bring?!"

"If you can't do it, dig a hole in the ground and drill into it!"

"your grandma, do you know how to fight? This Huai'an city is surrounded by water on all sides, digging holes in the ground, and you are almost the same as digging wells. ”

"Then dig a hole in the wall and blow it up with gunpowder!"

"A city wall half a foot thick, how much gunpowder does it take to explode!"

"Bombardment with artillery! Endless bang, I don't believe in the boom. ”

"Don't believe me. Artillery, you can hit people, hit the city wall, it is estimated that it is to smash a few bricks. ”

"Then bang on the gates!"

"Haven't you heard that there is an urn city and an inner gate in the city gate? The outer door was broken, and you couldn't enter the inner door, and you were blocked in the urn city, and you were thrown around, and I didn't die fast enough for you! ”

And so on. This one put forward the siege plan, and the other immediately vetoed it, tossed for more than an hour, and said it with a dry mouth, but still couldn't find the slightest eyebrow.

When you are thirsty, you naturally want to find water to drink, but Wu Liangmou, as the owner of the tent, has no intention of entertaining everyone, staring at the armor hanging on the spear, and the soul has long been unable to know where to wander.

"Youtu, Brother Youtu, what are you doing? Do you want to make a contribution? Hu Dahai came later than us, and today he is ready to send him out alone to lead a team of 1,000 people. How many brothers do we, but we all carry green brands! Liu Kui, the young owner of Liujiazhuang, was close to him, stepped forward and pushed him on the shoulder, protesting loudly. (Note 1)

"Which one wouldn't? The problem is, we have to have the ability of Hu Dahai! Wu Liangmou glanced back at him and said lazily.

Several arrow wounds on his body hurt a little, making him feel awkward no matter what he did. What's even more awkward is his own mind, he thought that with the art of war and martial arts handed down by his family, he could have a place next to Zhu Dudu. And now it seems that martial arts are not as good as Hu Dahai, and the family study is not as good as Chen De and Chen Zhishan, and the only good word that can be used is to get his hands on. Even the work of taking notes during the military meeting was immediately divided into half by this person. I joined the army in this room, what else is there to do?!

"That's, that's, Brother Hu's skills, all of us admire it!" Liu Kui touched a soft nail, but he was not angry. After thinking about it, he continued to instigate, "But we can't compare to Brother Hu, and it's better than the one surnamed Li who just surrendered, right?" Seeing that he and Geng Defu are both ordered to recruit troops and buy horses, let's not think of a way to get some credit, and in the future, when the governor is successful, even if we are not disadvantaged in terms of qualifications, we are not down-to-earth in our own hearts! ”

"Li Qi is the head snake here, and he knows where to recruit good soldiers!" Wu Liangmou glanced at him again and said sourly. "Don't think about these useless things, think about how to help the governor break Huai'an City!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately clamored, surrounded Wu Liangmou, and loudly condemned, "Didn't we all think about recruiting just now, just you are wandering out of the world!"

"Yes, Wu Youtu, don't patronize and talk cool!"

"Me? How do you know I didn't think about it?! Wu Liangmou's face was hot when he was said, and he asked angrily.

"Tell me, then, what do you think? What about your tricks? It doesn't matter if you succeed or not, just say it! When the people saw him quibbling, they grabbed him by the tail of his previous distraction and refused to let go.

"I'm wondering, how did they take Xuzhou in the first place!" Wu Liangmou was forced to be in a hurry, rolled his eyes a few times, and shouted loudly, "There is a legend outside that it was the eight people of Sesame Li who seized Xuzhou." This time, we have three or four thousand people, why can't we beat a Huai'an City? ”

"You're going to have to figure this out!" Liu Kui immediately laughed and shook his head vigorously, "Outside, it is said that Mr. Li is in charge of the eight of them, referring to the three governors of Mr. Li, Zhao Changshi, Mao, Peng, and Pan, as well as the three brothers of the Zhang family who have lost the war. The eight of them were generals, and there were more than 8,000 homeless people around them at that time. And he sent people to infiltrate the city first, and it was difficult to work with our governor, and the inside and outside should be together. ”

"Yes, Brother Youtu really wants to go wrong!" It was rare to find an opportunity to fight Wu Liangmou, and several other young people also spoke one after another, "At that time, the officers and soldiers of Xuzhou City were all transferred to fight Liu Futong, and the old, weak, sick and disabled who stayed behind were less than 1,000 together. ”

"Now the one is tickling his hands, isn't he old, weak, sick and disabled? His little bit of people, compared to us, is much better than the situation of the Xuzhou defenders in charge of General Li at the beginning? Wu Liangmou was not convinced, rolled his eyelids, and refuted loudly.

"This" The crowd was stunned by him and speechless. At present, the comparison of strength inside and outside the city is really not much different from the comparison between the strength inside and outside of Xuzhou City. Although General Manager Li had a large number of soldiers in his hands at the beginning, they were 8,000 homeless people, and they were holding stones and wooden sticks in their hands. At present, the soldiers and auxiliaries in the hands of Zhu Dudu, as well as the prisoners of the Han army who had just been accepted during the day, had all received basic training, and everyone had iron weapons in their hands.

After a long while, Liu Kui finally found a flaw, pouted, and said with a face full of anger, "The problem is, we can't mix in the city." If you had come up with this idea earlier, we would have sent a few hundred people into it before we attacked Han Xincheng. Now, the people are about to be scared into frightened birds, how can they just let people in again?! ”

"Then if I have a way to enter the city, do you dare to do it with me?!" Wu Liangmou suddenly put away his smile, lowered his voice, and asked in a very solemn tone.

"Just, just a few of us?" Liu Kui looked around, his eyes widened.

When they discussed the idea just now, they didn't think about rushing to the front line. Everyone is from rich families, and their lives are expensive. Whether it is an ant attachment or a cave attack, how can everyone go on it in person?

"What's wrong with a few of us, how can you know, just a few of us?! Besides, he only has one afternoon, and in addition to the frightened soldiers in the city, can he gather a few helpers?! The longer our army is outside the city, the more prepared we will be. If you want to go, you will go today. We went into the city overnight, and we just caught him off guard! ”

"This, how is this possible?!" Everyone looked at Wu Liangmou in a daze, and no one believed that he really had a way to rush into the city.

"It's certainly impossible from the ground, but not from the water!" Wu Liangmou smiled again, gritted his teeth and said, "It depends on whether you have the courage to go with me!" If you don't have the guts, I'll go to Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng, the two of them will definitely not be as afraid of death as you! ”

"Who's afraid to die?!" They are all young people, how can they stand such slander? Knowing that Wu Liang was using the method of agitation, he still stiffened his neck and retorted, "You said, as long as your surname Wu can say a meridian, our little life will be handed over to you!" ”

"Yes, if anyone shrinks, they will be raised by a girl!"

"Say, if you have a kind, just say it!"

Wu Liangmou wanted this effect, gritted his teeth and squatted on the ground, drawing on the soil with his fingers, "It is true that this Huai'an City is heavily defended, but it is all about people, not rats and foxes." Hundreds of thousands of people of feces, urine and swill, let alone splash on the streets. I paid special attention today, just on the surface of the East River, there are at least three or four passages connected to the city."

"You mean, you mean gutter!" Immediately, the crowd turned bitter and made a gesture of disgust.

Unlike the dry cities in the north, the slightly larger cities in the Jianghuai region at this time had special sewage ditches. Rainwater or sewage is discharged into the rivers outside the city along natural or artificial ditches to reduce waterlogging and clean the city. (Note 2)

As the children of a wealthy family, of course they knew that the ditches could lead into the city, and that they were wide and deep enough for people to swim across. But the water in the ditch is thick and sticky, and it smells very bad. Let them, the young masters of rich families, jump inside, it is better to carry a knife to climb the city wall. At least, the latter can die cleanly, unlike the former, who will have to "leave a stench for 10,000 years" after death.

However, because they were afraid of the smell, they rejected Wu Liangmou's mention, and everyone really couldn't say it. After thinking for a long time, Liu Kui took the lead and said, "This, Brother Youtu, the mouth of the gutter is all blocking the water window?!" That thing can only be opened from the inside out, not from the outside to the inside! ”

Water windows are also a major feature of sewers in this era. It is usually made of wood and has two layers, inside and outside. The outer water window is suspended at the outlet of the ditch by a window shaft. When the water level in the ditch is high, it can be washed outward, and when the water level in the ditch is shallow and the water level in the ditch is shallow, it will be closed inward under the action of the river water to avoid the river water backing into the city.

Inside the outer water window, there is usually an inner window. Wooden or iron fences are mainly used to prevent large animals or thieves from entering and exiting the waterways.

It's just such a simple defense facility, and it will definitely not be able to deal with an army that comes prepared. Therefore, Wu Liangmou immediately rolled his eyes, sneered, and counted, "If you don't dare to go, just say it, what reason are you looking for?!" No matter how much the water window explains, it can still block the big axe and saw?! As long as the water window is opened, we can break directly into the city, and while it is dark, the defenders can't tell how many people there are. In one fell swoop, he captured the enemy building at the east gate and put the suspension bridge to pick up the army. This is the first credit for winning Huai'an, which is our brother's. If you can't even smell a little stench, do you still expect to pay homage to the general?! Save it, I think you should just go home now, marry your daughter-in-law and hold your child! ”

Note: This chapter is the new alliance leader, Wu Xianyu added more, thank you for your support.

Note 1: See above, staff officers have no grade, so the shoulder pads are all cyan.

Note 2: A special discussion can be found on the sewage facilities in ancient China. In Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, there are still the remains of the Song Dynasty sewage canal, which is 0.6 to 1 meter wide and 1 meter 6 to 2 meters high. The water window mentioned below was also a pioneer of that era.
