Lin Feng immediately said with hatred: "I can't hide it, my plan is to prepare to turn Shouzhou City into a city that will never fall, drag, entangle and even defeat the enemy's main force, and then wait for pressure from other battlefields to force the enemy to withdraw automatically, and never dare to look south again!" ”

Chen Jun, the secretary of the military department, and Chang Mengxi, the deputy envoy of the privy council, looked at the darkness and silence in admiration, as if nothing had happened in the city just now, and nodded again and again. If Shouzhou has enough troops, enough food and weapons, plus the people of this city, it is completely possible to drag the enemy's tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 troops! As for the defeat that Lin Feng mentioned, they naturally thought that it was just Lin Feng's exaggerated rhetoric.

Feng Yansi, the privy envoy standing in the shadow of the torch, did not say a word, but his brows furrowed even tighter.

Li Jing reached out to cover his lips and quietly yawned.

When Lin Feng saw this action, he immediately took the initiative to ask "Li Gongzi" to rest for the time being today and continue to visit tomorrow morning.

Li Jing, who was tired, did not refuse, and took the lead in stepping down the city, and the others hurriedly followed.

When the group returned to the Assassin's Mansion, Xi Mucheng had already settled down the resting place of the big guys, and after Lin Feng waited for them to sleep, he just ordered Feng Jingyun to strengthen the surrounding vigilance, and went back to the room to fall asleep.

Nothing was said all night.

On August 30, Lin Feng accompanied Li Jing and his party to have breakfast, and still took two buses to the West City Gate. Suddenly, Li Jingda pointed to the side of the road in great surprise and asked Lin Feng, "What is that person doing?" ”

A young man pedaled his bicycle and overtook the carriage.

Lin Feng smiled and quickly explained: "That is the bicycle just invented by the Shouzhou Science Branch, and only a few Liao Liao have developed it in the city. People ride on it and pedal on it, and they can travel about 20 miles every hour! ”

"Twenty miles? That can be applied to military use! Li Jingda was extremely surprised, and immediately reacted, "Zhishan, before we leave, can you get a few cars for our Jiangyin Army to play with?" ”

The dignified King of E advertised himself, and of course Lin Feng would not refuse: "There is no problem!" I can give two to all the adults, so that everyone can exercise every day. However, to be clear, these bikes are transitional products that are being studied, and there are still a lot of imperfections. After upgrading and improving in the future, it will be sold in the 'Wonderful Shop' all over Datang! ”

Chang Mengxi looked at Lin Feng with emotion and praised: "Tsk, let ** open your eyes!" It seems that when the best is there, the invention of novelty will appear there! ”

With the novel topic of bicycles, the driving of Shili Road became no longer boring, and the group soon arrived at Zhengyangdu in the west of Shouzhou City.

As soon as we got off the car, we found that it had become a large-scale construction site with a tight lockdown, leaving only two sidewalks on both sides to facilitate the entry and exit of people and vehicles.

Feng Jingyun led his subordinates forward, explained to the guards of the guards, and then cleared the road on the right, and escorted everyone through the construction site to the bank of the Huai River. The bank of the Huai River in front of you is not at all the wharf in everyone's impression, the entire south ladder bank has been basically bulldozed, and a strange building with a sloping ladder on both sides of the middle has basically taken shape, and hundreds of workers are busy on it.

Seeing the puzzled eyes of the crowd, Lin Feng smiled and explained: "If you want to cross from the Huai River to Shouzhou in the south, Zhengyang Ferry will be easy to cross the ferry north of the city, so this will be the focus of our defense."

For the defense above the Huai River, we generally adopt a ladder-like defense. If the enemy crosses the river to attack in the dry season, we will nail the iron pillar of the boat on the south side of the river, forcing the enemy to attack only by sending troops across the river by boats to refuel, we occupy the river fortifications, calmly resist the enemy, retreat to the higher places, and damage the enemy one by one, and will give the enemy a head-on attack here! ”

A big guy looked at the busy scene in front of him with interest, Li Jingda suddenly pointed to a place in the fortification and said: "Zhishan, what are those people doing?" Why not use masonry for fortifications? ”

Lin Feng smiled, respectfully led everyone to the east, went up a small slope, walked to a construction site that had been exposed to the ground, pointed to the scene and said: "They are indeed not completely bricks and stones, but have added the reinforced concrete newly invented by the Shouzhou Science Branch. ”

A group of people curiously stepped forward to observe, and found that the workers on the scene were operating in an orderly manner, several workers cut the long steel into fixed iron rods, and wrapped thin iron wires around the hollow pillars to form a square, standing in a hole in the corner, and other workers surrounded some wooden planks on the outside of two adjacent iron columns, and then poured some muddy things into the wooden board wall, and pounded hard.

Lin Feng served as a commentator on the side: "This kind of thing is like water and mud, we call it cement." When one type of stone is broken and mixed with another type of limestone, it can quickly solidify, and when it dries, it is as hard as steel, and can resist the enemy's stone-throwing attacks. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Feng picked up an iron rod from the ground, picked it up with both hands, and slammed it on a condensed concrete wall that had been stripped of the outer planks. The iron rod bounced back violently, leaving only a white mark on the wall.

Li Jingda immediately asked in surprise: "Then is this place mainly used for vigilance and surveillance?" ”

Lin Feng gave a thumbs up to the sharp-eyed King of E, and praised: "King E's good vision!" On both sides of Zhengyangdu, as well as along the south bank of Huai, we plan to build such warning towers at intervals, precisely to play the role of beacons. The soldiers of the elite squad take turns on duty every day, and through the equipped telescopes, they can take in the every move of the enemy soldiers on the opposite bank, and transmit them to the ladder-shaped defensive formation and Shouzhou City at the fastest speed. ”

When Li Jingda was amazed, Chang Mengxi took two steps forward, picked up two unbroken stones, and asked, "Zhishan, is this kind of stone rare?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head and quickly explained, "This kind of stone is the most common among the mountains everywhere, but the kind of ingredients that you want to mix with them are difficult to find. Here, Lin Feng set up a small ambush, and the volcanic ash mixed with limestone to form natural cement was actually not too difficult to find, but he didn't want to easily leak this kind of strategic secrets and fortune opportunities.

Chang Mengxi shook his head lightly and sighed: "If this kind of thing can be popularized, my Datang is full of fortified cities that are difficult to conquer!" ”

Lin Feng hurriedly said, "That's true! In addition, we can actually apply this kind of cement to building houses and building arteries! It's a pity to be subject to raw materials! ”

Li Jing didn't say a word, looked back at the busy fortifications, and then walked to the edge of the river bank on the north side, glanced at the calm opposite bank, and was silent.

Li Jingda waved at the others to signal them all to retreat, pulled Lin Feng and walked to Li Jing's side, and said softly: "Big brother, seeing that Shouzhou is so well prepared, my confidence is even stronger!" As long as Shouzhou can successfully hold back the enemy's main force, I swear that I will be able to lead the army to successfully resist or even defeat the Wu Yue army. At this time, if all the garrisons in Ezhou, Haozhou and other places around Shouzhou take the initiative to attack, it is entirely possible to successfully attack the north, change the situation of the war, and even attack the city and seize the land! ”

It was for this private visit to Weifu that Li Jingsui, the marshal of the soldiers and horses of the Southern Tang Dynasty, sat in the Beijing division to conceal the matter, while Li Jingda, who performed well on the battlefield, was secretly summoned to the Beijing division, and naturally before leaving, he was informed of the overall strategy of the Southern Tang Dynasty to deal with the joint attack of the Later Zhou, Wu Yue, and Southern Han Kingdoms.

"Holy Lord, Weichen thinks the same! Now this situation is becoming more and more delicate, if we can contact the Liao State and the Northern Han State in advance, and suddenly send heavy troops to attack from the north when the Zhou State comes to attack, and create a favorable situation for the three countries to jointly attack the Zhou, it is not a problem to easily defeat the Zhou State, and even make them dare not go south from now on! Lin Feng also hurriedly played.

"What if the North decides not to attack?" Li Jing, who closed his eyes slightly, suddenly opened his eyes and asked.

"It's come to this, like an arrow on the string, they can't help it! We can create a situation, lure them and force them, and provoke them to go south, so that we can decide a battle and see who is the overlord of the world! Li Jingda said with a cruel smile.

"What the king of E said is extremely true! I, Datang, am determined to reform, and have successfully created a good situation of prosperity and development, and I have already clearly told Zhou Guo that if you don't attack now, you will have no chance in the future! Lin Feng hurriedly added fuel and vinegar.

Li Jing looked back and swept away the two fanatical war maniacs, squinted slightly again at the wide Huai River, and stopped talking.
