Chapter 35: Prelude to the East Gate Offensive and Defensive Battle!

(Ming said that after the next three chapters are updated every day to make up for the previous chapters, today is a little too tired.) )

Although it was not defeated, Jiang Zhe's heart was very uncomfortable, a full seven hundred Xuzhou elite soldiers! That's 700 living people!

It's less than an hour......

It turns out that this is war!

"Husband......" Xiu'er posted it, gently hugged Jiang Zhe and said, "Husband, don't be anxious, now that the soldiers are united, the yellow scarf can't help Xuzhou." ”

That's Zhang Yan! Jiang Zhe thought with a frown.

"You...... Aren't you afraid? Jiang Zhe looked at Xiu'er strangely.

"Why be afraid?" Xiu'er smiled and said softly, "The concubine believes that her husband can protect Xiu'er and all the people of Xuzhou......"

"Xiu'er......" Jiang Zhe muttered, this feeling of trust is really good......

Xiu'er sat on Jiang Zhe's lap and leaned into Jiang Zhe's ear and said, "The concubine has already purchased all the things used for the wedding, just waiting for the husband to repel the yellow scarf and ...... with the concubine Get married. ”

One sentence suddenly made Jiang Zhe's heartbeat rise a few times, get married! In the next life, I lived for more than 20 years and never tasted what it was like to get married.

"Xiu'er, don't worry!" Jiang Zhe was suddenly full of pride, "After the husband breaks the enemy, he will marry you!" ”

"Boom!" Xiu'er said shyly, "The concubine is not in a hurry...... Anyway......" she glanced at Jiang Zhe and said, "Anyway, the concubine will be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family sooner or later......"

"Hehe, I love to hear this......" Jiang Zhe happily hugged Xiu'er and refused to let go.

"Husband, let go......" Xiu'er struggled for a moment and said, "Husband, let's think about how to repel the yellow scarf first, this is related to the happiness of the concubine and the happiness of the people of Xuzhou......"

"I'm stressed out when you say that...... However, no matter how much pressure there is, it must be overcome! ”

(Jiang Zhe was inspired by Xiu'er, commander +5, funny, haha)

"In this way, the concubine is relieved...... Xiu'er walked away gently, "I'll go and prepare a meal for my husband." ”

Jiang Zhe nodded and watched Xiu'er leave with a smile.

As soon as Xiu'er walked out of Jiang Zhe's sight, Jiang Zhe put away his smile, propped his head and began to ponder how to come up with the most effective way in such a situation.

There is a moat under the city of Xuzhou, and the yellow turban is difficult to approach...... Moat?

Jiang Zhe's eyes lit up, and then they dimmed again, "This can only block one or two times, and treat the symptoms but not the root cause." ”

In ancient times, to storm the city tower was generally to use a ladder and a well, the former was an infantry attack, and the latter was an archer crossbowman to attack, but the well was not easy to make, and it was a waste of time, so that is to say, Zhang Yan used the ladder to use the largest possible surname.

When the infantry attackes, there will definitely be archers to cooperate, and the Yellow Turban Army has many archers, like a waterfall rain, which is really difficult to prevent. Even if all the soldiers in Xuzhou use bows and crossbows, they are only about 2,000 now, facing more than three times as many enemies...... That's not good with bows and arrows! It's too slow! Arrows, bow pulling, aiming, and then shooting, it takes about five seconds at the earliest, how to suppress the yellow turbans that live in the siege?

But if it can't be suppressed, then those fanatical yellow turbans will continue to attack the city wall, and the consequences will be unimaginable!

Depend on! If I had a few heavy machine guns now, why would I use them so much? Keep you to one and die the other!

Heavy machine guns?!

Speed?

Jiang Zhe seemed to have caught something.

He carefully recalled the battle just now, his eyes lit up, and he stroked his palm and said, "Three shots!" ”

"Huh?" Xiu'er poked her head out of the kitchen and looked at Jiang Zhe, and said strangely, "Husband? ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Jiang Zhe looked at Xiu'er with a smile on his face, "You continue to ......"

"Oh......" Xiu'er blinked and continued to cook in confusion.

"That's right! Two thousand people face an enemy of five or six thousand or more, and only with three shots can there be a suppressive effect, well, then let the archers carry out two shots, and the crossbowmen are too slow to reload, and shoot in three stages, which should effectively suppress the yellow turbans.

It's even okay...... I can also leave five hundred as reserves, five hundred as auxiliaries, and a thousand crossbowmen......

Kindness! Jiang Zhe nodded.

Also, dealing with the yellow scarves on the ladder, the like is good, but it consumes too many resources, and the soldiers are too laborious to transport, what to replace?

Boiling oil?!

Boiling oil is good! Not only can it burn the other party, but it can also be used further, but the weather is cold, and the boiling oil is easy to condense.

Alas, let's use it first, if I had a spring, I could also build a simple ballista and catapult, and the storage would be better than in the Three Kingdoms period...... Good......

That's right! During the Three Kingdoms period, there were ballistas and catapults!

What did they use instead of springs? Rubber? Certainly not......

Sinews? Sinews! The tendon of the animal!

But it seems that even if it is made, it will be very useful...... Jiang Zhe's excited heart suddenly turned cold again, alas, how can he effectively hurt the yellow scarf?

The hateful yellow turbans actually came to attack the city in the winter, there is something wrong with you! I'll draw circles and curse you all for freezing to death!

Hum!

Freeze...... Die......

Jiang Zhe blinked, and suddenly woke up, stupid!

It's not a game, it's reality!

Xuzhou City is leaning on the strong city wall, how can it last for a few days, why do you always think of some fastest methods?

The effect is slower, but the same effective method can be used!

Stupid!

Water!

Jiang Zhe stared at the table, secretly recalling the history, the Yellow Turban Uprising was hasty, many Yellow Turban soldiers could not be allocated the corresponding materials, and the equipment was only a big knife, and some were even more outrageous, wooden sticks and hoes and the like......

How could such an army have cotton clothes?

As long as they pour a basin of water during the siege of the city, they may lose their combat power immediately when they are blown by the wind, even if they can return to the camp alive, I am afraid that they will have a serious illness, and the ancient medical skills are so backward that they are not popularized at all, and there are no accompanying doctors in the army...... Doctor, not to mention their chances of survival......

Boiling Oil ...... Can be used in the first ...... Jiang Zhe had a gloomy expression on his face, and he glanced at Xiu'er who came out with the food.

After the boiling oil is used up, the water is taken on the spot, and the ...... Maybe it's going to dig the ice...... When you can't do it, you can use it as a stone, and it won't be used by the enemy......

The method of war is two, three, to maintain the continuous suppression of the crossbowman, but the crossbowman can not wear armor, there are some problems in defense, hey, I can learn from that Zhang Yan, set up a row of planks on the city wall, and set aside a body every half a meter for the crossbowman to shoot arrows, so isn't it a disguised increase in the height of the city wall?

In case the Yellow Turban climbs the city wall, then light this plank and then pull it back, you can also block it for a while, not bad......

As for using water to retreat the enemy, the consumption of water is too great, and these people are afraid that it will not be enough, forget it, let's take a look first, and then mobilize the people...... Cannot! Maybe now there are yellow scarves among the people of Xuzhou, and it will be difficult to clean up when the time comes......

Kindness...... Let's take a look again......

Outside the city, Zhang Yan filled in the trenches and returned to the camp, wanting to take advantage of Xuzhou's new defeat and attack Xuzhou at night, but he didn't want to see Xuzhou, and suddenly felt helpless and returned gloomily.

It turned out that Chen Deng, according to Jiang Zhe's instructions, set up a bronze mirror on the city wall every twenty or thirty meters, and lit a huge fire, so that everything outside the city could be seen.

Zhang Yan looked at it, although his identities were different, but he began to have some other thoughts in his heart, "Although this Chen Yuanlong is despicable and courageous, he has frequent schemes, which should not be underestimated...... It seems that I was careless......"

"It's better to wait for the Ming Dynasty to come out, unite the three gates, and take Xuzhou together!"
