Chapter 39: The Moat Plan

Lei Jiang said suspiciously: "Kai Hao, it sounds pretty good, so what should we do?"

Wan Zhiwen said: "There is a problem, the height of the inner city wall is much higher than the height of most buildings in the outer city, and the enemy can not deviate from the target direction. ”

Kai Hao nodded and said: "Therefore, we can't affect the lives of the villagers too much, and we need to let the bandits see the inner city wall, but they can't find the route quickly, and we also need to block the least large and small roads as much as possible to achieve the maximum effect." I think that to design this labyrinth according to a large area, first, send someone to draw a map of the buildings and routes outside the walls of the whole village, and then determine the route of the maze according to the map, and the ultimate goal is to make it impossible for the enemy to concentrate the maximum strength to attack the inner city.

Lei Jiang rubbed his hands and said with a little excitement: "Xiao Wan, Xiao Lin, today I will secretly arrange people to draw the map by hand, first use the big map to divide the drawing area, send more people, and strive to complete the map in five days, and it is very important to keep this map in the future." What else is there to do?"

Kai Hao said: "Uncle Lei, I think the faster the drawing time, the better, two days to complete, and then one day to determine the maze line, you can start to build the wall." These days, at the same time, the preparation of the required masonry materials is carried out. ”

Lei Jiang nodded and said, "Do as you say, Yun Peng, you arrange the materials, Liu Dan, you are responsible for the preparation of the construction site." ”

"This is just one of the suggestions, you can think about it again, because time is pressing, do the important things first," he said. ”

Liu Dan said: "Kai Hao, you continue. Lao Lei, when Kai Hao finishes talking about everything, let's discuss the specific implementation plan, how about it?"

Lei Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I thought it was just this one suggestion." ”

Chen Yunpeng said: "I also thought that was it, hehe, Kai Luxury, continue." ”

"The four village gates and the fence wall are the first line of defense for defense, and the current situation is not good, because the scope is too large, and the defending forces also need time to know the main attack area of the bandits as soon as possible when they do not understand the enemy's main attack point, and they also need to have time to move enough troops to attack the point," Kai Hao said. ”

Wan Zhiwen and Lin Yuan nodded and said, "It's really a headache, Shuikou Village is not small now, but there are not enough people." ”

"In order to continue to maintain peace, the fence should be upgraded now, it may be a big project, but if all the villagers are mobilized, I think it can be completed within three months," he said. ”

Lei Jiang gasped unconsciously and said, "Kai Luxury, what kind of big project requires everyone to work for three months?"

"Dig a moat," he said. ”

The group of five was stunned.

Liu Dan frowned and said, "Where does the water come from?"

Wan Zhiwen said: "What to do with the excavated soil?"

Chen Yunpeng said: "This is indeed a big project......

Lei Jiang coughed and said, "Kai Xuan continues." ”

Kai Hao said: "This thing looks difficult, but if it is done, it can effectively reduce the intensity of the bandits' attack, I have observed, the whole circle outside the fence wall is muddy, the difficulty of digging is not bad, and this is not simply digging a moat, Mr. Liu asked where the water comes from, my idea is to dig a pipe from the river in the north." ”

Chen Yunpeng frowned and said: "In the early days, there was this water diversion plan, the purpose of which was to provide drinking water and domestic water for the villagers, but later several underground springs were discovered in the village, but the water diversion plan was also relatively difficult, so it was later shelved. ”

Lei Jiang nodded and said, "Between the Xijiang River and Shuikou Village, you need to pass through woods and bamboo forests, which is difficult. ”

Liu Dan said: "Kai Lu, what do you want to do?"

Kai Hao said: "Because the purpose of this water diversion is only one, to fill the moat with water, so the requirements for the aqueduct are not high, while digging the moat, dig a small canal from Shuikou Village to the Xijiang River, which can meet the water of the moat." ”

Lin Yuan pondered: "If you dig one meter deep and one meter wide, and dig a hundred meters a day, then it will take about three months. ”

Kai Hao said: "Uncle Yuan, you don't need to be one meter wide, more than half a meter is enough." The depth should be ensured, otherwise the water will not be able to attract it. ”

Liu Dan said: "These things have high requirements for tools, Lao Wan, I suggest that we should make excavation tools as soon as possible, and good excavation tools can speed up the progress." ”

Wan Zhiwen nodded and said: "I have actually been researching the digging tools, in addition to pure human digging, I can assist in making some drilling tools, which can indeed speed up." ”

Chen Yunpeng said: "What Lao Wan asked just now, what should I do with the soil that was dug up? It is not a little bit of soil. ”

The group of five all looked at Kai Luxury.

Kai Hao nodded and said, " The excavated soil is also useful, our fence wall is a hard trunk, it is wood will have a fatal shortcoming, afraid of fire, although the surface treatment has been done, but if it encounters bandit fire, it is still difficult to resist, I think the soil can play a flame retardant role after adding water and coagulant, we can dig out the soil after the pile is smeared inside and outside the fence wall, relying on the body of the fence wall, on the one hand, the threat of fire attack is eliminated, and the protective wall of the outermost part of the whole village is reinforced, if the soil is enough, it is also necessary to coat those wooden size observation and attack platforms with this fireproof soil。 In the past, Chen Meng and I played war games, and we also used this kind of stirred soil, which is very strong and will not crack when dried. ”

Lei Jiang nodded and said, "This is a good idea, I think it's okay, what do you say?"

The other four also nodded.

Wan Zhiwen said: "After this treatment, not only can it really eliminate the danger of fire attack, but it also gives the enemy a visual indestructible feeling, but there should be a lot of dirt left." ”

"Part of the remaining dirt is made into mud bricks to build a labyrinth of the outer city, and part of it is made into a hard ball, which is piled up on the fence walls, attack platforms and inner walls, which can be used to attack the nearest enemy, and we can also build more attack towers near the current attack towers to echo, according to the scale of the bandits, we need to make more preparations to be sure." ”

Chen Yunpeng touched his face with his hands and said, "In this way, there are a lot of things to do." Will it be in time?"

Liu Dan said: "In my opinion, if you don't have time, you have to do it, do it, it may be too late, if you don't do it, then it will definitely be too late." ”

"Within a kilometer of the village, the trees have been cut down, but now many of the stumps are a man tall and can act as a shield for the enemy, so it is recommended to cut down all the trunks within a kilometer and bring back the wood to make arrows," he said. ”

Lei Jiang said: "Make a sword?"

Kai Hao said: "The arrow of the archery." ”

The group of five was taken aback.

Liu Dan said: "Kai Lu, one of the iron rules of the Moyuan Empire against the colonization of the city is that there must be no long-range crossbow arrows, otherwise the whole village will be slaughtered or sent to the mine. ”
