Chapter Seventy-Four: Preparation
There aren't many defenses in the city right now. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When he set off for Hanoi County to look for foreign aid, Yun Sheng did not instruct Li Hao to make and collect the equipment for defending the city in advance.
As a result, there are not many equipment available in the city. Yun Sheng was embarrassed to find that there was not a single large instrument that could be made at this time.
Just like the instruments we have now: horse, staghorn horse, thistle terrestris (commonly known as zama nails), water bladders, water bags.
A horse rejection is a movable wooden obstacle. It uses a large log with a diameter of two feet as a crossbar, the length of which varies according to the need. A cross hole was made on the large log, and several wooden poles one zhang long were installed, and the upper ends were sharpened as a support for the crossbars, and they were set up at the city gates, alleys, and main roads to prevent the movement of enemy soldiers and horses.
Both the Antlers and the Horse Spike were used to stab enemy soldiers and horses' feet. Water bladders and water bags are used to quickly extinguish the fire when the enemy burns the city gates and towers.
Of course, there are also bows and arrows, which are regular instruments that can be used at any time. There are quite a lot of arrows, enough to support a battle of 50,000 horses.
Fortunately, when Yunsheng heard the conversation between his eldest brother Li Hao and Xiahou Yuan just now, he said that the city wall of Yingchuan City had been rebuilt when the Yellow Turban broke out at the beginning, and there was also an extra female wall.
The women's wall is a thin retaining wall built on the outer edge of the top of various walls, about five feet high, roughly the height of a soldier, with a shot hole in the middle to fire arrowheads.
"It's pretty much there for now." Yun Sheng couldn't conjure up any large pieces of city defense equipment in a short period of time, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, it seems that this thing hasn't been prepared yet." ”
Xiahou Yuan looked at Yun Sheng strangely, aren't everything ready? Is there anything missing?
Li Hao also looked at Yun Sheng with a puzzled expression, "Brother Xian, everything for defending the city should have been prepared." You mean there's something missing? ”
Yun Sheng looked pensive, didn't reply and just nodded.
It's not really bad, and it's still quite important.
Those things are oil and big stones, and when defending, you can use hot oil to splash directly on the ladder, which is a very useful weapon for defending the city.
The big stone is relatively simple, and it is enough to send more people to the nearby collection point, but the oil is more troublesome.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, ordinary people in some places had never eaten enough, and even had no food.
In such an environment, how can they buy oil? Under the chain reaction, most of the people who even sell oil are changed careers, and they are bankrupt.
Of course, there are smart people among them.
This small group of people will narrow down the scope of their business and turn their business strategy to the family's offer, which is the bulk and main income. And in addition to this big single
, it will be sold bit by bit for a long time.
In general, oil is used by wealthy people, and it is not possible to buy it in large quantities for reserves.
But it doesn't matter, there are fewer usages.
Yun Sheng said to his eldest brother Li Hao: "Wait a minute, send some more people to collect some big stones nearby, they will be used." ”
After hesitating, Yun Sheng originally planned to buy oil by himself, but after thinking about it, it would be better to let the eldest brother Li Hao do this matter in Yingchuan, where Li Hao's name is too guarded.
"And one more thing, oil! It can be expensive, but we don't need much.
No need to buy too much. ”
After Yun Shengti finished speaking, Li Hao's eyes lit up.
The purpose of the big stone is easier to understand, it is nothing more than blocking and smashing. And the use of oil in Li Hao's mind, I am afraid it is used when the city wall is defending.
Otherwise, is it used to cook and eat? No kidding.
Although Xiahou Yuan was not as thorough as Li Hao thought, he vaguely understood the purpose of the two things.
It just so happened that Yun Sheng glanced at Xiahou Yuan, and suddenly felt that he was sitting here as if he had nothing to do.
"Miaocai, why are you still sitting here. So idle? If it's okay, go to the 5,000 soldiers and horses to familiarize yourself with it, and don't have any problems that shouldn't arise at that time. ”
"......" Xiahou Yuan's calm expression instantly turned stunned.
How did this get on me? Yes, what Yun Sheng said makes sense, it's good to be familiar with it.
Xiahou Yuan got up expressionlessly, and then walked out of the house and headed towards the barracks.
With spirit in his arms, Yun Sheng looked at the surrounding topographic map steadily, hoping to find a good strategy to break the enemy.
......
In a restaurant in the county seat of Hanoi.
The man drank some wine, ate snacks, and said to Yang Feng opposite: "Yang Feng, since you promised others, you will handle things well." Here, a bowl. ”
Yang Feng did not raise a bowl to eat wine together, but drank wine little by little, thinking about things.
In Yang Feng's memory, Yuan Shao's rear was relatively heavily guarded.
The reason for this happy decision is mainly that Zhang Dashuai and Zhang Yan will carry out a rebellion in Yuan Shao's rear, and it will be very easy to strike again when the time comes.
With the handsome Zhang Yan in front to attract firepower, the pressure will be much less at that time.
"I wonder when it started?" Yang Feng asked suspiciously.
"It's going to be this afternoon." The man returned.
Just this afternoon?!
Yang Feng was a little surprised, he didn't expect it to be so fast.
Taking a sip of wine, Yang Feng was glad that he had invited Dashuai out for a drink today. If you didn't know in advance, you might have missed out on this opportunity.
Now Yang Feng sat on his seat, thinking......
Suddenly, Yang Feng thought that it would probably take half a day to travel from here to Yuan Shao's rear, which meant that he had to rush to his destination a day in advance.
"I wonder if the marshal needs to send troops to support him?" Speaking of this matter, Yang Feng is actually still a little worried about Dashuai.
After all, it is more discrediting to join the rebels in rebellion. Although it is said that the Montenegrin Army has never had a good reputation, it is a big deal to have more infamy when the time comes.
It is still necessary to ask this polite remark.
"Still don't need to. What is lacking in this operation is not soldiers and horses, but combat capabilities. The man mainly thinks that people are more expensive than fine, and too many people are not good.
Yang Feng nodded and continued to ask, "Since you don't need support, forget it." I wonder how the tactics of rear attack and harassment are guaranteed to be successful? ”
Maybe this attack will not go too smoothly, but Yang Feng has a relaxed look.
For him, even if this operation fails, there is nothing to fear. The old way, it's a big deal to lead the troops to hide directly in the deep mountains and old forests, and it's okay to keep it.
(Sorry!) I'm so sorry! I just slept and forgot to update it regularly...... )
