Surrounded by Jiang Feng were several important figures in the Gushi Army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The information of the scouts has arrived, more than 20,000 ant thieves have all crossed the Huaishui, and are coming towards Gushi, a fierce battle is imminent, and today's inspection is the final preparation.

The enthusiasm at the previous oath meeting has gradually dissipated, as soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, Gu Minghai, Qin Zaidao and others naturally know that it is important to boost morale, but the decline of morale will also change with the development of the war.

What really determines the outcome of the war is the competition of strength between the two sides.

There are more than 20,000 ant thieves, ten times that of their own, even if they wiped out the two armies of the other side in the battle of Heshentan, but the ant thieves already have more than 20,000 troops, can Gushi City withstand the crazy attack of the ant thieves?

Several people were pondering this question in their hearts.

However, Qin, Gu and the others did not expect that Jiang Feng would not gather a few of his people to discuss how to deal with the upcoming war, but to bring a few of them to the city to understand the preparation of the defense system.

This made several people a little disapproving, and it wasn't until the crossbow and the divine arm crossbow appeared in Hede's mouth that several people suddenly changed color.

If the repair of the sheep and horse wall and the dredging of the moat only made Qin Gu and others realize Jiang Feng's ability to comprehensively analyze and consider the war, then the arrangement for the production and improvement of long-range weapons really made them feel a little incredible.

They didn't expect that Jiang Feng had already begun to prepare for war after parting ways with Cao Wanchuan, and that the preparations were so detailed and meticulous.

The improved technology of the stone throwing machine shocked the three of them even more.

You must know that the range of an ordinary stone throwing machine is only between 50 and 80 steps, and throwing 20 pounds of stones is already the limit, so a stone throwing car also needs dozens of people to pull the cannon rope.

They had never heard of such a powerful stone throwing cart before.

Seeing the incredulous looks of Qin and Gu looking at each other, Jiang Feng smiled slightly, he invited the generals to demonstrate like this today, just to muster up their inner confidence.

Words alone will not last long, and they must see the dawn of victory before they will be determined to fight for it.

"Why, you still don't believe it?" Jiang Feng chuckled, "I'll let Lao He bring someone to show you in a while, I believe that after you see the power of the whirlwind cannon, you will understand why I am so confident." ”

Although the demonstration process of the whirlwind cannon was not perfect, it made Qin Gu and the others look at Jiang Feng with awe.

It seems to be a simple improvement, but it has doubled the power, and more importantly, the number of operators has been greatly reduced, and 30 cyclone cannons can save at least nearly 1,000 people! This is simply a miracle!

They couldn't imagine how Jiang Feng could be interested in a long-range attack weapon that was not usually used much, and even could improve and innovate, and the heartfelt admiration of those craftsmen also made Qin, Gu and the others vaguely feel that the gap between this Lord Yuhou in front of them seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and it was no longer limited to one aspect, but all.

The black oppressive camp was endless, and Jiang Feng could only barely use his own eyes to observe the Yellow Ant Army approaching Gushi City.

Without a telescope, in Jiang Feng's memory, there would be a monocular clairvoyant at least in the Ming Dynasty, and now, in this era when even glass has never appeared, it is naturally impossible to have such long-distance observation equipment.

However, there are also many branches in the magic of this era, such as smelting and casting, there are also many talents in the magic industry.

Jiang Feng didn't have much impression of the glass manufacturing process, but he knew that according to the historical trajectory, glass had become popular in this era, but the real transparent glass had not yet appeared, but the history had been distorted, and the magic had been so prosperous in this time and space, so I don't know if there were any magicians who had explored in this regard, if there was a chance, they might as well try it in this regard.

To be honest, Jiang Feng felt that he couldn't see the details of his opponent from such a distance, and such a rough observation was not of much use, but Jiang Feng had to show his composure and calm in front of the generals.

This is related to the morale of the army, and countless people hope to determine the trend of this war through their own observation of the main general's expression.

The heavy Mingguang armor draped on Jiang Feng made Jiang Feng very uncomfortable, but as the coach, he had to put on this layer of seemingly mighty things that didn't mean much.

The three-day interval allowed Jiang Feng more time to adjust the arrangement, but the same three days also gave the Ant Army enough time to build siege equipment.

Both sides are using these three days to make final preparations, and whoever can have the last laugh will be the real winner.

Qin Zaidao and Gu Minghai's faces were a little pale.

More than 20,000 ant thieves were really densely clustered like ants four hundred steps outside Gushi City, which was beyond the range of the crossbow, and countless banners of different colors and patterns marked the part of the ant thieves to which they belonged.

Such a large-scale enemy army was the first time for both of them.

The hand-to-hand battle was not unfamiliar to the two of them, but the battle that was related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people in themselves and even the entire Gushi City was still too heavy for Qin Zaidao and Gu Minghai.

Of course, they didn't know that the phrase ignorant fearless might be more suitable to describe Jiang Feng's performance when he really participated in the war for the first time.

"The ant thieves chose the east as the focus of their attack, but they gave up the advantage of the terrain in the south and the weakness of the city gate, again, what do you think?" Jiang Feng groaned.

"Well, I thought they might think that the eastern wall was easier to break, and the ditch was easier to fill in, and the 400-zhang wall was too wide. ”

Qin Zaidao's gaze was still in the wilderness in the distance under the city wall, the dense ant thief phalanx gave him a lot of pressure, and he was fully responsible for the defense of the east, and the three battalions, including the tooth battalion led by Zhang Ziyue, were all under his command.

After all, Qin Zaidao has been on the battlefield for a long time, including Jiang Feng, and he is much inferior in this kind of face-to-face combat experience.

"At least it wasn't unexpected. Jiang Feng nodded.

Except for the gate and the four corners of Gushi City, which were wrapped with bricks, the rest of the main trunk of the city wall was all made of rammed earth, which opened his eyes.

He had always thought that the walls should be made of bricks, but he never thought that this was not the case. And Jiang Feng was not sure how much this rammed earth wall would resist heavy strike weapons such as stone throwers.
