"Actually, I always forgot to ask, Wang Hui, will you build fortifications?" Tianya said curiously: "Although you have always said that you are highly skilled, you have never answered this question below. ”

"Don't worry, I can build catapults, crossbows and other things, as well as traps outside the city and reinforcement of the city walls. As long as I am given enough manpower, time and materials, I promise to build Shouzhou into a fortress that will not lose to the king, and no one will try to attack and win. ”

Hearing Wang Hui say this, everyone was relieved, after all, it was better to ask about this kind of thing, otherwise after arriving in Shouzhou, Wang Hui would say that he would only strike iron...... That's embarrassing.

However, this kind of thing has long been expected, because Wu Yazi said that there is a kind of pride in this person's eyes, and he still has some say in front of Wang Benkun and Wang Xianqi, for an outsider, this has proved that his value has been affirmed in the king.

What's more, everyone has already expressed their intentions, if Wang Hui can't make it, he will say it when he just wakes up, after all, he is now highly poisoned, and if there is no antidote in Li Hongji's hand, it will be very miserable.

Venerable White Lotus said curiously: "You don't have to worry about the materials, the Southern Tang Dynasty is rich and Shouzhou is the top priority, and the materials you need will never be less." It's just how much manpower and time are needed, in fact, manpower can also be as much as you want, and the most important thing is the ratio of time and manpower. ”

Venerable White Lotus has lived for such a long time, and he has more or less experience. If one person does the work for ten days, ten people may not be able to complete it in one day, and it may even take two or three days to complete the project. That's human nature, it's not about math.

Only Li Hongji's kind of straw bag would think that a person can complete the work in ten days, and ten people can complete it in one day. It takes seven days for a boat to travel from Haizhou to Pingzhou, and seven boats drive together...... It only takes one day to get from Haizhou to Pingzhou.

In fact, Venerable White Lotus wanted to use this matter to make a joke about Li Hongji several times, but he was the crown prince after all, so he had to give him a little face.

In the past, the relationship between Venerable White Lotus and Li Hongji was very unfamiliar, although the two had been together for many years, they rarely spoke, Li Hongji didn't want to pay attention to this old man, and Venerable White Lotus didn't want to pay attention to this straw bag. Because of Li Jing's kindness back then, he had to be responsible for protecting these two straw bales, although the salary was good, but the White Lotus Venerable himself was still very resistant.

But after the arrival of Wu Yazi, the situation is much better. Venerable White Lotus witnessed Li Hongji's growth, so he also hoped to use his last bit of life and strength to fight for and support a real emperor to come out.

In fact, Venerable White Lotus knew very well that Li Jing was also a straw bale, just a straw bale with a little brain. Today's Li Hongji is no worse than Li Jing, and even many times stronger than him. As long as you support this emperor to ascend the throne and become emperor, and then govern the country well.

Li Hongji is studying, and many things need to be done for him by himself, so Venerable White Lotus will be so concerned about the fortifications in Shouzhou. Because what they lack most now is time, as long as they wait until after the autumn harvest, the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou will once again come to the east of the Huai River and continue to attack Shouzhou.

Wang Hui shook his head and said: "I can't say for sure, I don't know the pattern and situation of Shouzhou, and even if I do, it will take a while to plan." If you just build equipment, you have the time and manpower to build at least ten catapults and five repeaters in a day. Of course, this also requires those workers to get started, and if they want to be proficient, it will take at least half a month. ”

"That's right...... It's not long, as long as it can be used immediately after it is built, it is considered a great achievement. Venerable White Lotus said: "Dao Master Wuyazi really has a vision, and he actually chose such a good technical master, as long as there is the technology of the king in hand, Shouzhou is indestructible." As long as Shouzhou stands, it is unclear what Da Zhou does. ”

"Don't think too beautifully, I don't necessarily say what tricks Da Zhou will make, it doesn't matter to me whether you win or lose at that time, I'm just helping you bring a royal lord's master back to build fortifications." ”

Venerable White Lotus chuckled and said, "Daoist Wuyazi really likes to laugh, as long as Shouzhou is defended, what ability does Da Zhou have to drive straight in? Aren't they afraid of the Southern Tang Dynasty's naval army?"

"The Southern Tang Navy is certainly powerful, but in fact, it ...... oops" Tianya suddenly felt pain, because Xiang'er beside him pinched him.

There is nothing that Tianya can't say in his mouth, if he continues to ask, he will definitely drag out his plan, and when Zhao Kuangyin doesn't get the news that the plan has been leaked, he will definitely be killed by the Southern Tang Water Army.

Xiang'er knew about this plan, so she pinched him. After all, it was the army of the Great Zhou, and Tianya, as His Royal Highness the Great Wednesday, couldn't even pit his own people, let alone the method he came up with by himself.

If Tianya sincerely wants to pit Da Zhou, it doesn't matter, but if he accidentally pits Da Zhou to death because of his own mouth...... That's embarrassing, I guess even he can't accept this fact.

Venerable White Lotus was curious: "Will the Southern Tang Water Army be defeated by the Great Zhou?

"What I mean is actually very simple, don't think that if you are strong, you have no scruples, the navy drives a boat, and you can sail a ship for ten thousand years only if you are careful, right?"

"The lesson of the Infinite Son Daoist is that you really can't be too careless. "Venerable White Lotus almost didn't take Wu Yazi's words to heart, because the Southern Tang Navy was really strong, and they didn't need to attack directly, a bunch of people shot arrows in the river, what could the people on the shore do?

It would be even better if Da Zhou also used boats. Nantang's ship didn't need to do anything, and it could crash Da Zhou's ship into pieces if it hit it directly. Therefore, the Southern Tang Navy has nothing to fear, whether it is on the shore or in the water, the Southern Tang Navy is absolutely powerful.

Now there are more than 200,000 naval troops in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and only half of the naval army can crush all the armies of the Great Zhou. It's a pity that the navy is in the water, and if there is no river, you can't march. If the navy is allowed to disembark, it is undoubtedly to give up the greatest advantage of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the strength of the Great Zhou is already strong, and the naval army can restrain the infantry and cavalry of the Great Zhou in the Huai River.

In fact, each place has its special combat effectiveness, just like the Southern Tang Water Army, the infantry of the Great Zhou, and the Khitan Iron Cavalry, which are the three most powerful troops today.

This is also related to the region, the terrain of Dazhou is uneven, and the water source is not developed, so the infantry has the most advantage. If you want to attack the Great Zhou, you must first defeat the Great Zhou, both in terms of number and combat effectiveness.

The river waters on this side of the Southern Tang Dynasty are too developed, and the title of the land of fish and rice is not in vain, where there are fish, there is naturally water, so the formation of the naval army in the Southern Tang Dynasty is also to hold the territory. It is almost impossible to defeat the naval army of Southern Tang in the territory of Southern Tang, no matter how strong the army is, the naval army is in the water, and the infantry has nowhere to play.

The Khitan region is dominated by grasslands and plains, and the mountain of the king is already a wonder, so in the Khitan territory, they respect cavalry more.

Since it was in the plains, as long as the cavalry charged, the infantry was mud under the hooves of the horses, and there was no resistance to it. However, the cavalry was not good at attacking cities, so the Khitan infantry was not bad.

The Khitan iron cavalry is not only powerful for horses, but also for soldiers. The Khitan cavalry was so accurate that even if two of the same cavalry units met, the Khitan cavalry could use kite flying tactics to consume most of the enemy before charging.

Mounted archery is also one of the most important training courses for cavalry, but the Khitan cavalry has superb archery skills, which cannot be compared with the cavalry of the Central Plains. Long-range consumable weapons such as bows and arrows are decisive, and with the mobility of cavalry, they are even more deadly.

Therefore, in a battle with the Khitan iron cavalry on the plain, the Central Plains soldiers had almost no possibility of victory, and even if there was a huge difference in strength, the horses of the Central Plains could not catch up with the Khitan iron cavalry at all. This is the advantage of the Khitan in the grassland, which is like the naval army in the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is a regional characteristic and advantage.

Wang Hui said: "I agree with the words of Daoist Wuyazi, no matter how strong the army is, it will have weaknesses, just like the Southern Tang Navy is afraid that the river will dry up, if there is no water, the combat effectiveness of the Navy Army is far inferior to that of the infantry army." Because most of the navy is good at longbow and arrows and other medium and long-range attacks, if you fight in close combat, you will suffer very much. In fact, the Khitan iron cavalry also has weaknesses, and the weakness lies in those horses. ”

"The weakness of the Khitan Iron Cavalry?"

"That's right, in fact, all cavalry have this weakness, and if you suddenly make some very loud noises that frighten the horses, then all the cavalry will suffer a serious blow because of this. Wang Hui said: "In the royal valve, there is a weapon specially used to deal with the Khitan iron cavalry, and the name is Thunder Firestone. It can make a sound like thunder, and it also emits strong flames, both of which together will frighten all horses, and it is not easy to calm them down if they are frightened. Although horses wear blindfolds when they go to war, the heat and sound of the flames are something that horses cannot ignore. ”

Tianya said: "This method...... It's pretty average. Blindfolds can really keep horses from fire, but loud noises can also frighten horses. But what if the other person even wears earmuffs?"

Wang Hui suddenly thought, it makes sense. Since there are eye patches, then there must be earmuffs. If the opponent's mount is wearing an eye patch and earmuffs, and the order is given to the horse to charge based on physical contact...... Thunder Fire has no choice.

After all, the orders of the cavalry are not difficult, there are only a few simple orders, and a smart animal like a horse can be well controlled even without the voice of the owner.

"What should I do then? Is there a better way for Daoist Wuyazi?"

"It's very simple, as long as I release Xiao Jinjin, there is a horse on the other side that dares to move, and I lose. "Tianya's method is very simple, the animal's sense of crisis is the most sensitive, as long as Xiao Jinjin stands there, let alone a horse, even a lion and a tiger may not dare to move.
