Inadvertently, Zhao Kuo remembered a sentence in his heart

"What do you have to say if you don't see or hear it?" is talking about Zhao Kuo himself. But now that I look at it, if I really chose Macheng, this narrow city tower would simply kill Zhao Kuo!

Although the Mo Dao is brave, it needs a huge space for it to play, such a narrow city tower, the action is slightly large, and there is even a risk of falling, and its inconvenient movement, in such a city tower, it is simply impossible to have mobile support.

In this way, as long as the Hu people attack a point at all costs, Zhao Kuo has almost no choice but to fill it in one by one.

If it is at this time, the Hu people will make another noise...... The consequences are unimaginable. couldn't help but sigh of relief in Zhao Kuo's heart, but fortunately, Lu Buwei dissuaded him in time.

It's just that if you want to lure the enemy in the coming year, you either have to widen the width of the city wall, or you have to choose another location.

And to widen the city wall, I'm afraid it's not easy to see! Thinking about it, Zhao Kuo raised his head slightly, but saw that Li Mu had already started his explanation.

"The attack and defense of the castle tower are especially heavy on bows and arrows and rolling wood and stones. Because the city tower is narrow, not only is it inconvenient to hoard materials, but it is also inconvenient to transport back and forth, so it is given priority to ensure the use of arrows, and every five steps are placed with an arrow to stompe, and each arrow stampes two soldiers, not only to support each other, but also to attack constantly when carrying arrows. As for the transportation of arrows and rolling wood stones, it mainly depends on the rear attic, and during the war, the rolling wood stones and arrows are stored in the attic, and then arranged for distribution by the defenders of the city. ”

"In this way, it seems that the general defending the city really needs a strong ability to strategize! It's just a bit too hard. Zhao Kuo looked at the two attics that stood in the middle of the city tower, although it was true that transporting from the attic to both sides could save some effort and time, but it still couldn't get rid of the problem of narrow roads.

Whether you can reach the destination smoothly depends on whether the scheduling of the main general is in place. In other words, if you want to hold this place, the guards must be very clear, and even have to form the muscle memory of the troops.

In other words, if Zhao Kuo wants to meddle in the defense of Macheng and wants to change generals, it will be very difficult.

The deep binding of localities and generals is something that any general who coordinates the overall situation does not want to see.

Although Zhao Kuo's words were praising the generals who defended the city, they were actually dissatisfied with the defense system of Macheng.

It can even be said that he is questioning the parties Wu Pijiang and Li Mu, why they didn't widen the city tower to facilitate defense.

"Admiral, rest assured." Of course, Li Mu knew what Zhao Kuo was worried about, and immediately spoke: "It is indeed difficult to say that this troop deployment is difficult, but it is also very simple to say. Saying that, Li Mu stood at the back of the city wall, stretched out his arms and said: "Even during the battle, there can be two people passing through the passage in the rear, of course, there will be some collisions between the two of them." Therefore, it is also stipulated by our law that in times of war, both passages are one-way roads, that is, only from the central attic to the two ends of the city, and not the other way around. And to the people at the ends of the city, they came from the bottom of the city to the attic. In this way, it can be guaranteed to be smooth. Hearing this, Zhao Kuo nodded slightly, but did not say anything.

One-way streets, indeed, are a solution to the problem of congestion, but the problem is that in this way, the efficiency will be much lower, like sending a bundle of arrows to 20 steps away, but the soldiers have to run hundreds of steps, so the use of soldiers is not laborious?

"General, please see." Li Mu seemed to understand Zhao Kuo's thoughts, and immediately showed Zhao Kuo another of his inventions: slides.

"Recently, we have arranged such a slide, after the transport personnel complete the task, they can slide down, so that most of the time and energy can be saved." Li Mu continued to explain.

Zhao Kuo looked at this child's toy, he never thought that this could be used for battle. Indeed, although the slide is a little steep, it is not a problem for adults, and the slide naturally does not require much physical energy, of course, the physical strength of going to the city is inevitable, but it is already very economical.

But saving, is still just saving, after all, the existence of waste cannot be avoided.

"Why not expand?" Zhao Kuo still asked this question in his heart, as long as the city wall is slightly expanded by two people, everything will be solved, why think of so many crooked tricks?

Of course, when the words were asked, Zhao Kuo quickly had a general answer in his heart. But seeing that Li Mu glanced at General Wu Pi behind Zhao Kuo, and saw General Wu Bi nodding, he said with a little shame: "It's not that I don't want to expand, but this widening is not better than increasing the height, you need to widen the base, and then re-accumulate, and after accumulation, you have to reinforce, and the manpower and material resources consumed are really ...... This city is not as good as Handan, the population is not large, and it is not easy to make a living. Therefore, over the years, the city has only been slightly repaired and heightened, and if it is to be widened, I am afraid that it will need the support of the imperial court. When Zhao Kuo heard this, he said in his heart, no money is the original sin!

This matter is difficult to complete...... And this also strengthened Zhao Kuo's determination to set up a mutual market on the border, Daibei is not without potential, there is too much wealth in this thousand miles of grassland, but

"Success is also the grassland, defeat is also the grassland", but a large amount of wealth is trapped in the grassland.

"Mutual market" is the first step to open the password of grassland wealth! Once the cattle, horses, sheep and other materials in the grassland can really circulate, this can be said to be subversive for the economic improvement of the land.

And only when the economy develops, perhaps this fertile grassland can really be used by Zhao. After listening to Li Mu's statement, Zhao Kuo nodded silently, under limited conditions, it is already good that Li Mu can do this, with a perfect system, Zhao Kuo does not have too many worries if he wants to transfer Li Mu away.

Seeing Zhao Kuo nodding slowly, the generals behind him were also slightly relieved, after all, in the final analysis, there are still loopholes in this defense system, and if they really start a fire, they and others really have no way to justify.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuo is not an unreasonable person, and he who returned from the Battle of Changping with glory does not need to use the way of the new official to swear his authority.

"Lead the way ahead! Go and see how the soldiers are trained. After Zhao Kuo and his entourage walked around the city wall, they immediately said to Li Mu.

Li Mu had nothing to do, and immediately took Zhao Kuo to the camp in the city. The barracks are not too big, at best only three or five hundred steps long and wide, but the layout inside is staggered, the horizontal and vertical passages divide the barracks into neat areas, the martial arts field, the grain depot, the arsenal, the barracks are quietly embellished among them, and they are surrounded by a tight wall, everything seems so natural.

If it weren't for the slightly out-of-the-box location, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a city within a city. Even if the outer city falls, the defenders will be able to hold out for at least a few days with this camp.

Obviously, the people who arranged this camp were attentive.

"This village, General Li's masterpiece?" After being led around, Zhao Kuo praised with satisfaction.

"It's really going to be managed now." Li Mu immediately said modestly. This is the second time that Zhao Kuo has explicitly praised Li Mu, listening to Zhao Kuo's words, even a fool can see Zhao Kuo's appreciation for Li Mu.

can be valued by Zhao Jun as the first person now, and everyone knows that Li Mu is about to take off! The only question is how high Li Mu can fly!

Soon, under the leadership of Li Mu, Zhao Kuo and his party came to the martial arts arena. On the high platform, Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu calmly, and then ordered: "Let's start." ”

"Yes!" Li Mu immediately clenched his fists and said. Immediately, Li Mu waved his right hand, and then the war drums suddenly sounded in this border city.

That's right, Zhao Kuo's sudden whim wants to conduct a spot check at this moment! Spot check for the whole army!

Inspection, that is, the emergency assembly of the whole army. It's easy to say, but it's an extreme test of an army's discipline.

After the drums thundered and thundered, and after the three-way drums, the whole army was finished, not just talking. Even if it is an elite army like the land of the earth, it is not necessary to say that it will be completed.

What's more, the time chosen by Zhao Kuo was around the time of the lunch. Li Mu knew that this might be the last test that the general gave himself, as long as he passed this test, he might really become a general, the kind that could really be on his own!

The war drums were beating in the sky above the border Macheng, and they were beating on Li Mu's heart. But Li Mu did not panic at all, he believed that those robes who fought with him and stirred horses and spoons in the same pot believed that they would not let themselves and the general down.

As soon as the drum of "dong dong dong ......" was finished, all the soldiers in the nearest camp had already put down their dishes and chopsticks and arrived at the school yard to assemble.

After the second drum of "dong dong dong ......" was completed, all the soldiers patrolling the city also returned to the camp and assembled in place according to the team.

"Knock knock knock ......" The three-way drum is not finished, and above the city tower, except for the necessary patrol and defense soldiers, the rest of the soldiers have all arrived!

And they really did! The three-way drum was not finished, but the whole army was finished. Looking at the silent scene of the spears below, Zhao Kuo knew that this was a real killing master!

Only an elite division that has experienced a bloody battle can have such discipline and murderous spirit! Fortunately, Zhao Kuo himself crawled out of the flesh mill on the Changping battlefield, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, he was still calm and murderous, Zhao Kuo only had joy in his heart, and did not have the slightest cowardice.

"General! Ma Cheng Division, 8,742 people, out of the city of 1,000 people, all arrived, please show the general. Li Mu, as the temporary commander, reported the assembly to Zhao Kuo.

"Okay." Zhao Kuo said loudly. Immediately, striding meteorically, Zhao Kuo stood at the front of the high platform.

"See the General!" Thousands of Zhao soldiers and soldiers under him saluted Zhao Kuo in unison.
