Chapter 215: Sand Table Deduction
This is an elaborate sand table, the white is the snow-capped mountain cliff, and the green is the green grassland.
Duan Meimei took Duan Zishou and Ah Crisp to buy the river sand from outside Bianliang City, she painted the important parts with colors, and planted all kinds of small flags and branches and leaves representing trees on them.
The terrain was made according to the map drawn by Xu Yongzhi, and she consulted Tian Kokou for the key points.
"Wow!" Tian Kokou was taken aback when she saw Duan Meimei's sand table.
This is simply a replica of the peach blossom paradise, and the important places are marked.
Duan Zishou smiled and placed twenty small wooden trebuchets around the mountain wall, which Tian Dabang did when he had nothing to do, first as a model of a big trebuchet, and then simply became a toy.
"It's okay to play with my grandson in the future." Tian Dabang said to Huo Xiang.
Now these things have been taken to Xu Yongzhi's camp and placed on the sand table.
Li Sigui was full of praise for this sand table.
Sister Qiao took Xu Genealogy to see the excitement, and Xu Genealogy came up to catch the wooden pony.
"Mother, I'll just get you one," Duan Meimei said with a smile, "You can't move this one, each of these Trojan horses is your father's heartβthat's a hundred heavy cavalry." β
"Is it really going to be such a big deal?" Sister Qiao sat by the fire and asked.
"What's wrong?" Duan Meimei said with a smile holding the genealogy.
"It feels like playing at home," Sister Qiao said, "It's fun to make such a delicate big sand table." β
"I don't want to brag about it, Mr. Li can help me tell her." Duan Meimei said.
"Madame, it's not an exaggeration to say that this sand table is a work of art," Li Sigui picked up the hand-drawn map, "Look at this map, can you understand it?" β
"I don't understand, why are there so many lines?" Sister Qiao asked.
"The adults went to Taoyuan, and when they came back, they drew a map, and his map used these lines to represent the height, not just a simple drawing of a mountain or some woods, and when the generals saw this map, they could know whether they could go up on this one, whether they could turn over, and where the lines were sparse, there were gentle slopes and ridges, and where the lines were tight, there were steep slopes and cliffs." Mr. Li said, pointing to the map.
"I see!" Sister Qiao praised that she was just a little stubborn in dealing with people, but she was actually a smart person, especially if she was able to read through medical classics at a young age, so as soon as she heard Li Sigui's explanation, she knew the magic of this thing.
"This map is easy to carry, but most of the generals of the forbidden army are martial artists, and they may not be able to understand, the sand table made by Mrs. is actually to give them an intuitive impression, with this impression, and then compare the map in hand, the topography of Taoyuan, there is no problem at all." Li Sigui said.
"Your Excellency is here!" Deputy General Li Shoujie shouted, Xu Yongzhi walked in with the commander in the army, Sister Qiao saw that it was a work scene, and quickly took over Xu Zongpu to play outside, Duan Meimei did not move, she was already an important part of Xu Yongzhi's "staff".
"Everyone has a map in their hands," Li Shoujie said, "This is the sand table of the Peach Blossom Spring, I hope everyone will remember this terrain, the Peach Blossom is near Wuling, there are rebels against the imperial court, they are not many in number, but according to the steep terrain, it is very difficult to fight." β
"Our ship can break in from here."
"How do our cavalry get in? If the plain inside can be knighted, it will be a matter of minutes. β
"Trebuchets are used to break down rock walls."
Everyone has come up with ideas.
In the past two years, Xu Yongzhi has studied war in the middle of the war and has become a mature general.
Unlike in the past, he would mobilize the enthusiasm of his subordinate commanders, let them speak freely, encourage and summarize them, and come up with his own plan.
"Everybody's very nice."
"This area is protected by witchcraft."
"Before attacking, we will close these mountain walls and then fire with trebuchets against their camps on the plains."
"We'll use teleportation to send in fifty heavy knights, which is the limit of our projection capacity."
"The trolls will strike from the hole at the same time."
"There is no main attack in this battle, all of you are the main attack!"
"Whoa!" Let's do it together.
"In addition, there is good news, the official family has agreed to my request, and our team will soon have a completely different image!"
Xu Yongyi waved his hand, and Duan Zishou carried a set of armor and entered the house.
Red armor.
"Vermilion lacquer armor!" Li Shoujie was taken aback.
Ancient Chinese armor, mostly black, because the iron armor will naturally be oxidized to black, so most of the army, on the black paint, before the old general Murong Yanzhao gave Xu Yongzhi 500 mounted cavalry, the armor is also black.
A small number of generals will use white armor, or plating silver on the armor, the characteristic of this armor is that it is especially equipped with white horses, it is said that Zhao Yun in the Three Kingdoms period, is the white horse silver armor, and will always be the image of "white robe general".
The emperor usually wears gold armor, gilts on the armor, and puts on a yellow robe, and everyone knows at a glance that it is the Son of Heaven and His Majesty, so the morale is greatly boosted.
Red armor, never seen before.
Not surprising, because red paint is just too expensive.
In ancient times, palaces would be made of red paint, cinnabar and tung oil, and red paint was also used in war, that is, red spears, and some generals would paint the front half of the spear or the entire barrel of the spear red to prevent the enemy's blood from staining that part.
But the red armor is really unseen and unheard of.
"This should be very expensive," Fei Yanggu looked at the armor, "The armor of vermilion lacquer!" β
"I have to thank Madame for this," Xu Yongzhi said with a smile, "Meimei, let me explain it to everyone." β
"Our red color comes from madder, and after it is blended, the color is bright, and there is no need for cinnabar, so it is very cheap." Duan Meimei said.
"Vermilion lacquer armor means that we are the elite of the Great Song Dynasty, it is very bright, if the battle is defeated, the team wearing vermilion lacquer armor will not be able to escape. Ladies and gentlemen, if anyone opposes Zhu Qi Jia, say now, if not, we will uniformly modify Zhu Qi Jia, because this army will always be like a red flame, attacking, advancing" Xu Yongzhi said.
"That's exactly how it should be!" Li Shoujie exclaimed.
In this team, there are a lot of unwilling, wronged, and damaged people, who want to raise their eyebrows and win a big victory on the battlefield.
"It takes about a month to change clothes, and although the paint dries slowly in winter, the weather is dry and can be used for a little longer." Duan Meimei said.
"Prepare enough madder and tung oil," said Xu Yongzhi, "and when spring comes, the enemy will be surprised." β
The order went down, and the army went into action.
Although the origin of this army is complex and the composition is different, since it belonged to the palace front division, all the equipment is equipped with the best.
The most noteworthy thing is the armor.
The armor of other troops does not match a lot of sizes, so you can only find how much armor is here, and then find a soldier who can wear this armor.
Xu Yongzhi's soldiers, the armor fits this is basic, tall people wear first-class armor, medium second-class armor, short people third-class armor, fat people first-class armor, normal body type second-class armor, thin people third-class.
As soon as a person comes in and looks at the person's figure, he can be issued armor of the right size.
In addition, the infantry was long armored and dragged to the ground, protecting the legs; The cavalry was lightly armoured and easy to use with swords; The archer's armor should be free of the hand that drew the bow.
It's all about expenses, but fortunately there is a business of Shanzitang's medicine and imperial examination teaching and auxiliary publishing.
After returning from Lin Quan, Xu Yongzhi put that box of gold into the work of transforming the armor, and Duan Meimei also lived up to expectations, giving everyone a red vermilion lacquer armor, red is Duan Meimei's favorite color, and it is also the color of revenge.
Xu Yongzhi also let Chirp Ash send a letter to Xiaogui and ventilate it, saying that the crusade against Peach Blossom Land will be next spring, hoping that she can find out Li Yu's attitude.
Xiao Gui directly told Li Yu about this news, and it was pointless to knock on the side, so he asked him directly about the best.
"Your senior brother wants to fight Peach Blossom Spring, right?" Li Yu asked.
"This is not a family feud, this is a military operation of the Bianliang Imperial Court." Xiaogui said.
"He said that it was not revenge, do you dare to say that he has no selfish intentions?" Li Yu asked.
Xiaogui didn't speak.
Li Yu asked Han Xizai beside him: "How to answer this situation?" β
"Your Majesty, this is Xu Jin's private contact, and the minister suggests that it is most appropriate not to answer."
"It's shameful to escape, but it's useful, isn't it?" Li Yu said.
"No, no, no, if Your Majesty promises Xu Jin in private, it means that your status as a monarch has been wronged, and when Xia Zhaoyi verbally replied that he would not move, it would be fine." Han Xizai said.
Lord Xu Xuan looked at Xiao Gui and did not speak.
"Okay," Li Yu said to Xiao Gui, "just write back to General Xu, Zhaoyi retreat." β
Xiaogui went out for a long time, and Li Yu asked Xu Xuan: "Aiqing can say what she just said." β
"Can we reverse Xu Jin?"
As soon as these words came out, Han Xizai was taken aback.
First, Han Xizai has good intentions towards Xiaogui and has long intended to accept it; Second, Han Xizai believed that it would be a matter of time before the Southern Tang Dynasty returned to the Song Dynasty, and all superfluous actions at this time were stupid.
Lord Seo Hyun's suggestion was really unexpected by Han Hee-jae.
Lord Xu is a particularly typical clothes rack, personable, decent, and very good poetry, but there is one point, the strategy of governing the country and the army, it is a super straw bag, and it is the kind that sells it and helps people to make money.
Eighty percent of the sudden initiation of such a conspiracy was instigated by someone.
Han Xizai got serious and listened to Xu Xuan.
"If Xu Jin wants to fight Taoyuan, he must first level Jingxiang, these two places, although there have been conflicts with our Tang Dynasty in the past, but now, they are our upstream barriers, it is the relationship between lips and teeth, lips and teeth are cold, we should secretly give them assistance, and at the same time use the way of giving gifts to Xu Jin to divide the relationship between him and Zhao Kuangyin." Seo Hyun said.
"How much does Lord Xu think is appropriate?" Han Xizai picked up the tea and took a sip.
Lord Seo Hyun looked at Li Yu and then at Han Hee-jae.
Now everyone is watching themselves, and for so many years, they have never been so valued.
He raised two fingers slightly:
"At least that!"
