Chapter 993: Yunzhou City Defense under the Guidance of Duan Gongzi

Chapter 993

"The probability of being able to hold on until your eldest niece leads the victorious army to Yunzhou is about seven to eighty percent, however, there are too many factors involved in the war, and no one can say that it is good, for my brother, I can only say that I will do my best, but I believe that I can definitely hold it myself." Duan Shaojun said proudly.

"Then I'll stay with the little brother, you don't know, my mother-in-law is about to give birth in a few days, in case she is halfway there...... What should I do, little brother? It's better to stay, anyway, I believe you can do it, brother. After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xuan gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.

"Then in that case, you'd better follow me to the Zuo Yu Lin Wei camp outside the city."

"What are you doing there?" Li Xuan didn't react for a while.

Duan Shaojun patted Li Xuan's shoulder and explained patiently. "Nonsense, you are also a prince, how can you show your attitude, or Zuo Yu Linwei and those people I can handle, but the soldiers and horses rushed over from Shuozhou need your uncle to come out, so that I can save my heart for my brother."

"Alright, let's go now." Li Xuan was stunned, and was about to take a step when he lifted his placket, but was stopped by Duan Shaojun. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Do you think it's appropriate for you to go to the barracks like this? Dressed in civilian clothes, casually sneaking to the barracks? Duan Shaojun shook his head helplessly, reminding His Royal Highness the King of Jin. Anyway, you have to get a set of Mingguang heavy armor like Brother Wei and me, so that you can look high-end and high-grade. ”

“…… There's no need for a brother, this thing is so heavy, and it's very time-consuming to wear. Li Xuan looked at Duan Shaojun with a black line on his face, and said with a very congested heart.

"You think I don't know? But this is also something that can't be helped, hurry up, anyway, for my brother, I have time to wait for you, are you willing to look at Brother Wei so tall, and you yourself are so low-key that the soldiers of Zuo Yu Linwei still think that you are the follower of General Ben? Duan Dagongzi waved his hand impatiently.

This sentence made Li Xuan speechless, rolled his eyes, and could only resign himself to putting on the heavy armor, or Duan Shaojun's last sentence deeply stung Li Xuan's already pitiful self-esteem.

Half an hour later, Duan Dagongzi, who was sitting almost dozing off, was finally awakened by the noise around him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Li Xuan, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, wearing a golden bright light heavy armor that was more coquettish and dazzling than the bright light heavy armor on his body.

Li Xuan's walking posture was very strange, every step was like walking in space, slowly lifting his legs, then gritting his teeth and taking a step, and then he began to lift his second leg.

Looking at Li Xuan's exaggerated behavior, Duan Dagongzi almost squirted out the tea in his throat. "Brother Xian, what are you doing here, aren't you just wearing a suit of armor? You can't be so exaggerated. ”

"Brother, don't you think this thing is too fucking heavy?" Li Xuan moved his neck with difficulty, raised his hand and patted the armor on his body, and sighed helplessly in the laughter of the guards behind him. "I feel like I'm being crushed by a mountain."

Duan Shaojun was wearing Mingguang heavy armor, but he felt that he had lost forty or fifty pounds on his body for a while, and he felt a little strained, and his movements were not very convenient, after all, this thing maintained enough exercise every day. At least after getting acquainted with it, I don't dare to say that I can jump up and down, but at least I will not have much problem when I move around.

But the situation of Li Xuan in front of him is really indescribable, it seems that this thing is the real powerless, in the end, in order to take care of Li Xuan, the overwhelmed prince, he can only wait for this guy to adapt for a while, so that the two guards used enough strength to put Li Xuan, who is like a tumbler, on the mount.

"This thing is too heavy, alas, I said brother, just to go to Zuo Yu Lin Wei to take a walk, is it worth wearing such a dress?" Sitting on horseback, Li Xuan felt uncomfortable all over his body, and felt an itch in his back, but he couldn't scratch his back when he wanted to, how bitter was this mood.

"Don't talk crooked nonsense, don't forget, you are the dignified His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and you are wearing a coquettish golden helmet and gold armor, how can you maintain your image...... Well, it's almost time to get to the camp, and you're going to have to hold it out for me. Duan Dagongzi patiently urged Li Xuan, this kid, don't want to unload the nail industry at this time, tickle.

Li Xuan, who had a sad and indignant face, and Duan Shaojun greeted Zuo Yu Linwei's soldiers with the surprised gaze and slowly entered Zuo Yu Linwei's camp.

There is Li Xuan, who is wearing heavy armor, and Li Shenjin, the head of the general's own soldiers, as witnesses, and the sword from His Majesty the Emperor as physical evidence, how can Chen Zhonglang kneel and lick on the spot without hesitation.

And Fang Lang General was full of entanglement, and he had to confirm a reality, although he was a Shuozhou army, but now, it was really not good not to listen to Duan Shaojun, although Duan Shaojun might not have chopped himself on the spot, but if he wanted to cut off his military power and control the five thousand elites in his hands, naturally there was no problem.

"From now on, I also ask General Chen to send more scouts to the north to reconnoitre, and you must be sure to grasp the whereabouts of Moli Khan's army. In addition, please also ask General Chen and General Fang to prepare in advance, once the military situation is tense, please immediately lead the army into the city, and do not let Moli Khan have the opportunity to block you out of the city, if that is the case, if Yunzhou City does not have you, it is impossible to last for more than three days. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, don't worry, don't worry, the last general will definitely follow the military order and not go out on a business trip." Chen Zhonglang nodded and replied respectfully.

"By the way, how's the training for those recruits?" After Duan Shaojun nodded, he said to Ge Hanlun.

"It's much stronger than the original, a veteran with five recruits is indeed more acceptable to the recruits, and the veterans don't need to bother too much......" Ge Hanlun nodded vigorously, grinning widely, it can be seen that the training of the soldiers has been improved, and he, the Yunzhou Zhonglang general, can also take a breath, after all, the big war is coming, no one wants his soldiers to be as timid as a mouse, and when he sees the enemy's fierce spirit, he will be scared first.

"That's good, speed up, by the way, from today, Yunzhou City will start a curfew, and the time will start from the turn of Xuhai and end at the turn of the next day." Duan Shaojun finally came up with a little bit of Yunzhou Assassin History and Yunzhou Defense Envoy.

With Duan Shaojun's military orders, these generals also obeyed the orders awe-inspiringly, well, seeing that his military orders instructed others to obey, Duan Dagongzi couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, and finally understood the meaning of the so-called drunken beauty knee, waking up to kill people.

After the affairs of the military camp were dealt with, Duan Dagongzi immediately escorted Li Xuan, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, back to Yunzhou City, and began to inspect the various city defense work of Yunzhou City. Nowadays, the city defense of Yunzhou Prefecture is still in the final stage.

The width of Yunzhou City is about one mile, and the length is about one and a half miles, and the circumference is about five miles, because Yunzhou is located in a critical position, so after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it has repeatedly repaired Yunzhou City as an important fortress on the northern border, the height of the city wall is close to two zhang five, and the width on the city wall is about four meters.

The inside of the walls of the city wall is all dirt, and the outhouse is covered with thick green bricks, strong and strong, which is why over the years, although Qihu has invaded Yunzhou many times, but has not been able to gnaw this bone down, is because the city defense of Yunzhou is indeed very strong.

In addition, after Li Youwen arrived, he has always paid great attention to the repair of Yunzhou City, and also built urn cities outside the four gates, and after Duan Dagongzi began to take over the city defense, the previous simple urn city was re-strengthened and repaired.

Although the current height of the urn city is one meter five different from the city wall of Yunzhou City, the thickness of the urn city is close to the wall thickness of the main city wall of Yunzhou. The only way to reach the wall of the city is to move up and down through two steps made of wood.

The reason why wood is used instead of stone is naturally because if the wall of the urn city is occupied by the enemy, the soldiers can retreat to the city wall and destroy the wooden stairs, so that the enemy cannot use the city wall of the urn city to directly attack the main wall of Yunzhou City.

In addition, at the suggestion of Duan Dagongzi, some towers like beacons like the Great Wall were built on the city wall, and each arrow tower could be used as a cover for the soldiers on the city wall, and could also directly attack the enemy troops under the city from the arrow tower.

In order to ensure the stability of the arrow tower, Duan Shaojun even ordered the reinforcement of the section of the city wall where the arrow tower was built. Every 100 meters on each wall, one of these towers was added.
