Chapter 876: Martial City
"General Wang, the enemy has moved to seven miles away, and Hou Wang's scouts have seen a large wooden equipment arriving in the distance, and they are probably preparing to attack the city......"
When he heard people call him "General Wang", Wang Li, who was standing at the head of Wuguan City, was usually slightly stunned.
It was immediately realized that he had now inherited the name that was once the exclusive name of the eldest father and father.
From the moment the news of his father's death came, the former "Little General Wang" and "Little General Wang" were gone, and Wang Li had to shoulder the burden of his family and the state, and continue the unfinished business of Tongwu Hou!
He nodded, looking at the layers of enemy camps in the distance, this group of rebels was still hanging the Xuanxi Qin flag in a grand manner, and there were even two plain flags, which were said to be mourning for the first emperor and Wang Ben......
"Rats have skin. People have no manners. If people have no ceremony, what is it to not die? In this world, there are shameless people like Heifu! β
Wang Li hated Heifu very much, this guy was more favored by his father when he was young, but he took revenge, not only dragged his father to die of illness in Nanyang, but also made people preach the words of punishment, saying that Wang Ben woke up before he died, and wanted to merge with Heifu, but he died before he died, only had time to make Nanyang go black, and shouted three times to the West before his death......
"Reverse black and white!"
When he heard this, Wang Li trembled with anger.
The black thief wants to ruin the name of the Marquis of Tongwu and ruin the Wang family through rumors!
What is even more distressing is that relying on this kind of speech, the black thief actually deceived tens of thousands of Wang Benjun prisoners to use them, transport grain, or act as soldiers.
Fortunately, His Majesty the Second Emperor was wise and wise, and still trusted Wang, and immediately transferred Wang Li and Shangjun soldiers to the south to quell the rebellion, and when Wang Li arrived in Xianyang, the Second and the Empress, that is, Wang Li's sister, entertained him in Wangyi Palace, handed over the axe and tiger talisman, and tearfully said that the Great Qin Sheji, so he relied on Wang Li......
"From now on, the one who goes up to heaven will rule the general. From now on, those who go down to the abyss will be the general! β
With the axe of the Son of Heaven, the new commander has been released, and Wang Li took 50,000 Shangjun soldiers south to Wuguan to join Wang Ben's old troops and Wuguan Lieutenants.
Wang Li for more than 30 years, has been living in the shadow of his father, father, since he lost his way in the battle of the Huns, the army has been "tiger father dog son" said, although the "Marquis of Wucheng" of the lord, lying into the Marquis of Che, but when the first emperor of Qin was alive, Wang Li has not been reused, and there are many troubles to give him the "lost marquis" such a bandit name, not to mention:
"Compared with the lost marquis, Heifu is more like a person who follows the art of war of Wucheng Marquis."
Wang Li lived in a depressed state for seven or eight years, until the second succeeded to the throne, which gave him the opportunity to take charge of the army.
Wang Li cherishes this opportunity, and his opponent is Heifu, which makes Wang Li want to prove himself more and more.
"Frustrate the spirit of the black thief, restore the reputation of the Wang family, and support the danger of the country, in this battle!"
Thinking like this, Wang Li tried his best to put on the prestige of seeing his eldest father and father as a general when he was young, with a straight face, and after giving an order, he said solemnly:
"Let the Gong Yu come to see me!"
β¦β¦
The bald craftsman standing in front of Wang Li was named Gong Yiyun, who was after Lu Ban.
The descendants of Luban have been carpenters for generations and live in Ludi, which was conquered by the Chu State. After Qin unified the world, the Gongyi clan entered the Shaofu as a work official, and after the ink man completely broke with the Qin official mansion and was cleared, the craftsmen of the Gongyi clan became the last trump card of the Shaofu.
Wang Li had the posture of a commander of a large army, and asked the bald craftsman:
"I heard that hundreds of years ago, Mozi had a contest with the public loss class in front of the king of Chu, the public loss class was a cloud ladder, Mozi was royal, Mozi untied the belt for the city, and the public loss plate was set up to attack the city, and Zi Mozi was nine distances. The attack of the public losing plate is exhausted, and the defense of Zi Mozi (yΓΉ) is more than ......"
"Now there are also ink people under the command of the black thieves, who are already making siege equipment, and they will come to attack in the near future.
In the past, it was a Mojian attack, but today, history has made a big joke, and the positions of the two sides have been easily changed, and it has become a Moji attack and Lu defending.
Gong Yi said confidently: "The world often says, the ink is good at guarding, and the public is good at attacking, which is true, but that was two hundred years ago. Although the ink scholar entered Qin and helped Qin dominate the world, he was often confined to the discussion of non-attack and love, and he did not pay much attention to the art of siege, which was far inferior to my father-in-law. But in the past ten years, the villain has been able to watch all the chapters of Mo Zhai's "City Guard" in Shaofu, and I know everything about the art of Mo Zhai's guarding! β
Then, Gong Yiyun led Wang Li and pointed out the preparations he had made in Wuguan for more than a month.
"Hangu Pass, the danger of one hundred and two, two people guard the pass, and it is difficult for a hundred people to cross. Although Wuguan is not as good as Hangu, it is also a danger of twelve! β
"General, please see, the valley of Danshui, the more northwest it is, the narrower it becomes, and Wuguan is located in the narrowest place, the north is based on Shaoxi, the south is bordered by Danshui, the west is Shangyu, and only the east is against the enemy. Guancheng has a big stone as the base, five years ago, and rebuilt with Sanhe soil, the wall is two miles long, five zhang high, three zhang thick at the bottom, two zhang on the top, only one mile on the flat land, the other mile stretches the mountainside and winds through, the cliffs on both sides are high and the valley is deep, narrow and difficult to walk, completely block the road into the pass! β
According to Mo Zhai's method of defending the city, if 100,000 enemy troops attacked in formation, the width of the team was only 500 steps, the medium width was 300 steps, and the short was 50 steps.
At present, the narrow terrain in front of Wuguan determines that the attacker cannot be spread too wide, not counting climbing the mountain to attack on the back, the front is at most more than 300 steps, if more people are invested, it will be congested before and after, and the siege is not effective, and the head of the city can kill and injure a large number of people with arrows with his eyes closed.
A ladder can accommodate up to three or five people on it at the same time, which also means that each group of ants attached to the ladder is only more than a thousand people, and the city, the hill and the wall plus a few watchtowers can stand thousands of people, forever more than less.
In this way, even if the southern army has a strength advantage, it cannot be reflected, not to mention that its strength is 20,000 less than that of the northern army.
After talking about the strength of the two sides on paper, Gong Yiyun began to introduce the details to Wang Li: "In today's world, there are often attackers: Lin, Hook, Chong, Ladder, Trench, ***, Burst, Hollow, Ant Fu, Yi, Xuanche, plus Flying Stones, but there are thirteen kinds, and the villain is ready for everything." β
Gong Yu is not boasting, he did learn the Mo family's art of defending the city, and for different siege techniques, there are corresponding imperial methods: prepare the city gate, prepare the high pro, prepare the ladder, prepare the water, prepare the sudden, prepare the hole, prepare the moth Fu, etc.
There are trenches and tribulus terrestris dug in advance in front of the pass, which lead the Dan water through as a moat. At the head of the city, there are canals, registered cars, stacks, rows, slashes, orange trees, mullions, long axes, long vertebrae, long hoes, hooks, flying rushes, hanging (beams), criticism, crossbows and other equipment, which are specially used to deal with various offensive methods.
For example, the most vulnerable gates have been directly blocked with earth and stones, and they are supported by huge logs to prevent the enemy from breaking in.
There is a pavilion every 100 steps at the head of the city, and the pavilion has a pavilion captain to command on the spot, equipped with a "building oar", similar to a nest car, and there is a huge wooden board to shield the enemy from the rain of arrows, so as to prevent the commander from being injured by the enemy, resulting in confusion in command.
In order to cope with the enemy's night onslaught, 20 torches were also stored at the head of the city every 2 steps, so as to facilitate night battles.
It is also convenient to burn a stove every 5 steps, equipped with sand and stones, and after burning, it is poured down from the "Jue Cave", which can kill the crowded enemies under the city on a large scale.
If there is fire, there must be water, one to prevent the enemy's fire attack, and the other to prevent the spontaneous combustion of forage. The city has 5 steps and 1 tile wooden water tank, which can hold 10 buckets of water, and there are more than 1,000 such water tanks in the city.
Descending from the stone steps to the head of the city, Gong Yiyun pointed to the dark ditches behind the wall, some of which were also equipped with deep earth pits and buried clay pots, which could accommodate a "cave master" with good ears.
"This is a hidden ditch, in order to prevent thieves from attacking, digging tunnels to attack the city, no matter where they dig the ground, they will be blocked by the ditch, immediately blocked, or set fire to the enemy in the road......"
In addition, there are also flying stones that can send two hundred paces, as well as a large number of crossbow material arrays, which can ensure that the firepower is not inferior to the attacker, which is the reinforcement brought by Wang Li from the Xianyang arsenal.
"Gong Yi, just looking at the law of this city, if you don't say it, I will think that you are the giant of the Mo family."
Wang Li nodded with satisfaction, he was so well prepared, and the terrain was advantageous, he only needed to take 20,000 people to take turns to climb the city and guard the pass, which was enough to resist 100,000 thieves.
The remaining 100,000 troops were placed a few miles behind the pass, rotating the tired soldiers at any time, and at the same time lined up to prepare for the worst, once the Wuguan was breached, they would act as the last dry city of Great Qin and repel the rebels.
"Such a complete method of defending the country, even if there are ink people under the black thieves, but their siege skills are not necessarily stronger than the public loss, so even if the thieves work hard to break through the level, they must have suffered heavy losses, and their morale has been greatly frustrated, and I will be able to defeat the Wuguan with 100,000 people!"
The Gong Yi clan wants to prove who is the best school in the world, they and the ink master.
And Wang Li wants to prove who is the real successor of Wang Qian's way of using soldiers!
"King Wu cut Yin, went to the beast, knew his political affairs, and made "Wu Cheng". Those who become martial arts are also successful in martial arts, and the eldest father deserves this name. β
It was Wang's most glorious moment.
"But the first emperor thought that I was not worthy of the name of 'Wucheng', so he changed it to 'Wucheng'."
This is Wang Li's heart knot, but today, for the first time, he smiled at this title.
"Wuguan, city guard, isn't it providence? It's okay, today, I have to rely on guarding this martial pass to prove ......"
"Wang Li, he has never fallen to the prestige of his father and father!"
After everything was ready, Wang Li remembered something again, so he asked Gong Yiyun:
"Recently, the scout came to the report, saying that the black thief ordered the ship of the big ship made by the ink man go against the water, and made a wooden flow of cattle and horses......"
"General Wang, it's a wooden ox and a flowing horse."
Sima Ying on the side coughed lightly and corrected.
Wang Li lost the clown, a little unhappy, glared at Sima Ying, and continued:
"According to the scout, those wooden oxen and wooden horses had a square belly and a curved head, only one foot, with their head in the collar and their tongue in their abdomen. For every ox carrying 10 people's food for a month, only one person needs to drive it, and it can move around on its own. People don't work hard, cattle don't eat, can be transported day and night, on the narrow road between the Danshui mountains, it is really miraculous. β
"Such a Mojia ingenuity device, can the Gong Yi clan imitate it?"
