Chapter 397 [Time is Running Out......

Chen Daolin originally wanted to take the shelf, but when he saw that Lu Gao's temper was wrong-in the face of this guy with a strange temper and his strength could easily crush him, he didn't want to ask for hardship anymore.

After thinking about it, Chen Daolin picked up the pen and casually drew a sketch of the overlooking plan of the fortress on a piece of paper in front of him.

Chen Daolin's art skills are naturally scum, these simple sketches are drawn like ghost drawings, but fortunately, Lu Gao doesn't care about these, and after a glance, he stares at Chen Daolin with puzzled eyes.

Chen Daolin exhaled and said slowly: "I think, the most powerful advantage of the fortress, I don't need to say more, right?"

"Nonsense!" Lu Gao exhaled.

"You see, the most powerful thing about the fortress is that no matter which point the attacking side chooses to attack, it will be counterattacked by fire from several sides at the same time. This creates an embarrassing situation: no matter how many troops the attacker has, but in some places, there is always a small to many position. The defender, on the other hand, can rely on the special structure of the bastion, so that they can always form superior firepower in local places. ”

"That's nonsense!" said Lu Gao dissatisfiedly, "Who asked you about the merits of the fortress! I asked you how to conquer this kind of thing!"

Chen Daolin really wanted to answer: Conquer, your holy step flew over and slammed down with a sword, and the entire section of the city wall fell......

But looking at Lu Gao's fierce eyes, he was still very smart to swallow back this kind of ridicule.

After thinking about it for a while, he reviewed the interesting information he had seen in reality - Chen Daolin was an otaku in reality, and he had seen a lot of messy things that he didn't have, and he was naturally no stranger to the big killing weapon of ancient warfare like the fortress, as a semi-technical nerd.

And more importantly. Just after the crossing, when he used the crossing gate to run back to the real world halfway to make big purchases and preparations, he had collected a lot of materials in the library, especially all kinds of knowledge that might be used in the era of cold weapons, and he had reserves. As a magician, his mental power is super strong, and his memory is better than that of ordinary people, I don't know how many times!

If he is allowed to directly lead his troops to fight and attack a fortress, maybe he doesn't have that kind of ability, but is it just a matter of paper...... Hmph, don't you know. As an otaku of the Celestial Empire, is it a necessary skill to fight mouth cannons on the Internet?

"I would like to ask Mr. Lugo, what is the biggest difficulty faced by the attacking side when attacking this kind of fortress?"

"First of all?" Lu Gao thought for a moment. He replied quickly: "First of all, the troops will advance to the city! If the defenders have enough archers in the fortifications, the firepower of the fortress will be three times greater than that of the previous parallel walls! It is also covered by three times as many bows and arrows as the parallel walls. The damage is too great!"

"Well, that's right, first of all, advancing to the city is the first fatal problem. Chen Daolin was very confident in his heart, and smiled steadily: "So." To conquer the bastion, the first thing to solve is this first trouble...... Push!"

He quickly drew a few lines in front of the overlook plan of the fortress on the paper, which took on a zigzag shape.

"My solution is ...... Or, to be more precise, trench excavation!"

Subsequently. Chen Daolin used the words that had been brewed to quickly explain his method.

In fact, the method of fighting against the fortress has long been widely discussed in the real world, and the best example that Chen Daolin knows is the famous "parallel trench method" in the "Battle of Maastricht", which is also recognized as the trench excavation method.

This kind of tactic, in fact, is a stupid method, to put it bluntly, it is not too unusual, just use a large number of sappers to dig a large number of trenches in front of the fortress, and use the trenches to advance little by little, until it advances to the position of the city defense close!

In this way, although the speed is a little slower, it can evade the fire coverage of the fortifications - the greatest lethality of the fortress lies in the special design, which makes the fire cover more than three times more than the traditional parallel defense line.

The method of digging trenches can block the front of the castle, so that the defenders in the castle have no way to break through and attack. And then it was to slowly dig under the city defenses little by little! Start digging trenches from outside the range of the defenders' firepower, and then use the trenches to dig in!

When Chen Daolin said this, Lu Gao couldn't help but ask: "Is this method a little slow...... Also, digging in the trenches, can't the defenders of the city shoot with bows and arrows......"

Speaking of this, Lu Gao had already figured out something, nodded and said, "Well, I thought about it." The trench is only a little narrow, and if the defenders cover it with firepower, then the exchange ratio of the bows and crossbows and the scattered soldiers in the trenches is too low, and the attacker actually takes advantage. ”

Seeing that Lu Gao actually figured out the trick in an instant, Chen Daolin was not only a little surprised.

This guy ...... Not only is he a saint-level master, but he is also proficient in military strategy?!

Subsequently, Chen Daolin tried his best to use his own words to explain this tactic in general.

"Then after advancing to a certain distance, one thing must be calculated, and that is the blind spot of the bastion's attack. Chen Daolin quickly wrote a few strings of numbers on the paper, and then drew a few shaded areas on the fortress, and said with a faint smile: "The design of the fortress has reduced the blind area as much as possible, but the blind area is still there, and at this time, it is the most critical step......

In fact, in real-world examples, the most critical step to conquer is the need for thermal weapons, that is to say, the need for gunpowder! The key step is to use trenches to advance under the defense line, attack with firearms, or even directly advance under the fortress wall, and use explosives to directly blow up the city wall.

But considering that the Roland world is the era of cold weapons, although there is magic in this world, although gunpowder has also been invented, it is obviously not as powerful as firearms in the real world.

Far from meeting the standards of explosives.

But it doesn't matter, Chen Daolin has already had an alternative.

"With a large number of engineers, after advancing close enough to the city defense, tunnels were dug directly in the trenches, and tunnels were dug under the city defenses...... Supported with wooden stakes. And then...... The engineer withdrew, ignited. Burn the wooden stakes that support the tunnels...... Then, the walls above will collapse!"

Chen Daolin finished the last sentence, and Lu Gao, who was standing in front of him, suddenly shook his whole body and fell into a stupor! !

It seemed that after a long time, Lu Gao suddenly flashed a strange light in his eyes, and he suddenly raised his hand!

Bang!

Under one palm, the sturdy wooden table in front of him was slapped by him. Just shoot it to smash!!

Chen Daolin was startled, and quickly jumped up and moved back.

I saw Lu Gao standing there, his eyes flashing with anger, helplessness, unwillingness, and many other feelings. Finally, he let out a long sigh. Said fiercely: "Such a method...... I didn't think of it back then!!!If I thought of it...... Du Wei, that bastard. Where can you be so arrogant!!"

Chen Daolin's heart moved......

Did this guy really lead his troops to fight with Du Wei? Did he suffer the loss of the fortress?!

Fighting with troops?

Chen Daolin suddenly, a record that he had seen from the general history of the empire flashed in his heart......

His heart suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but cry out, pointed to the strongman in front of him, and said loudly: "Ah!!I remember! You are Lu Gao!! Lu Gao, the commander of the Northwest Army of the Empire! The warlords of that generation with 200,000 troops !!!"

Lu Gao's body was shocked, turned around, and stared at Chen Daolin!

After a long time, he sighed faintly: "Legion commander...... Hum. No one has called this title for more than 100 years!"

......

According to the general history of the empire, when Duke Du Wei of Tulip had just come to the northwest in the past, there was already a powerful army of 200,000 troops in the northwest of the empire: the Northwest Army!

The commander of that legion was Lu Gao! It's just that this man has troops in the northwest, and he is no longer under the command of the empire, and he is actually a warlord of secession! And after Du Wei came to the northwest, his territory happened to be next to the northwest army, and this time, Du Wei wanted to create his own family business territory in the northwest, and there was naturally a huge contradiction between the two sides.

As a result of the war, the Tulip family of Du Wei broke out into war with the Northwest Army, and the result of the war was that the talented Duke Tulip annihilated the 200,000 troops of the Northwest Army and swept away the Northwest......

......

Chen Daolin naturally read this history, but he didn't deliberately remember the name Lu Gao, so a day ago, when this strange man said that his name was Lu Gao, Chen Daolin had not yet been associated with the commander of the Northwest Army and the big warlord in the history books.

......

Speaking of which, Lu Gao (Chishui Break), who was known as Lu Gao back then, lurked in the empire for decades, and finally became a high-ranking member of the army, leading a legion to divide the northwest. In the end, he lost to the original Duke of Tulip......

Lu Gao didn't really dwell on the things of the past in his heart. For him, what warlord leader and what authority was just a means at that time. He himself was not a man for power. This guy is just a paranoid martial idiot by nature.

He didn't care that he lost his position as the commander of the army and the emperor of the Northwest Soil in the past. What he cares about in his heart is that he lost to Du Wei!

Although the relationship between Du Wei and his relationship with him became more complicated later, it was no longer much hatred. But after all, for this guy who is extremely arrogant, he is still angry about the big loss he suffered at the hands of Du Wei.

Lu Gao is actually high, but in fact, he doesn't think much of Du Wei from the bottom of his heart, so he always has a knot in his heart when he lost to Du Wei.

And today, this knot in his heart has been untied by chance in Chen Daolin......

......

"Original...... It's as simple as that. After Lu Gao was stunned for a long time, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, but this smile was full of Xiao Suo's flavor.

He turned his head and looked at Chen Daolin, who had already ducked to the side, and suddenly nodded to Chen Daolin: "I want to thank you! But over the years, I've thought about it many times, but I can't figure out how to deal with it. I didn't expect to get an answer from you today...... Hey!"

He laughed dryly a few times, and his tone gradually deepened: "There is no chance of starting over in life...... The things of the year, if you lose, you will be defeated, but you can ...... Before, I could get an answer, which can be regarded as the end of one of my thoughts. ”

He walked in front of Chen Daolin, looked at Chen Daolin, and actually showed a gentle smile in his eyes: "Boy, I owe you a favor! I don't like to owe people things, you say, how do you want me to compensate you." ”

"Uh, can you let me go back?" Chen Daolin grimaced.

“...... No!" Lu Gao was categorical.

Chen Daolin sighed, although he knew the result, he still couldn't help but smile bitterly: "That...... You just tell me, what are you going to do with me?"

Lu Gao glanced at Chen Daolin: "Do you really want to waste such an opportunity? My old man's favor is very valuable! You just want to ask such a boring question? Anyway, you will naturally know in a few days, so why ask now?"

Chen Daolin shook his head: "The more you refuse to say, the less reliable my heart becomes." I'm afraid there's something weird in it! Otherwise, you'll have an answer in a few days anyway, so why don't you sue me now?"

Lu Gao's face suddenly flashed with a hint of annoyance, he gritted his teeth, and finally sighed: "Okay! kid...... I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, actually, ......"

This strongman actually had a trace of embarrassment in his expression, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to sue you, but ...... I don't know what I'm going to take you for. ”

“...... Huh?"

Chen Daolin almost didn't pop his eyes out!

"I'm just going to take you somewhere and ...... When you get there, something will naturally happen, but what it is, I don't know. Lu Gao shook his head.

Chen Daolin thought about it, and finally came up with a new question: "So...... Do you have to go now? Can you let me go back first, and I can take care of that big mess at home, and in a few months, I can let go, and then I can go again?"

"No!" Lu Gao's expression became solemn again.

"Why?"

Lu Gao glanced at Chen Daolin, then turned his eyes away, and he said lightly: "Because...... I don't have that much time. ”
