Chapter 994

"It's really good, although these arrow towers are not big, but they are nearly one foot and five feet higher than the city wall, I don't think they are used to detect the enemy's situation, or attack the enemy from this top or from inside the arrow tower, it is a good choice, and the important thing is that it can also provide more cover and shelter for the soldiers." Chen Zhonglang, who accompanied Duan Shaojun to come, stood behind the arrow tower, patting those thick bricks, and couldn't help but smile a little more on his face.

After all, when the time comes, the soldiers of Zuo Yu Linwei will have to stay on the city wall, and if they can have more cover, they will naturally be able to reduce some casualties slightly.

"If you don't count the 10,000 newly trained state soldiers and county soldiers, we now have 10,000 elites of Zuo Yu Linwei, in addition to 5,000 reinforcements from Shuozhou, and 5,000 state soldiers and county soldiers left before. Combined, there are only 20,000 horses in total. I want to rely on 20,000 horses to control the Wuli city wall, face 80,000 Qihu soldiers and horses, and defend for ten days......" Although General Fang Lang was very satisfied with the city defense of Yunzhou City, he was very gloomy in his heart.

"Hey, why are there so many bricks and stones in those places, what are you doing here?" Duan Shoujian was also taken by Fang Lang as an escort, and at this moment he saw that there were a large number of bricks on the inside and below the walls of Yunzhou City, and each brick seemed to be a head bigger than the kind of masonry usually used to repair the wall, and the important thing was that many bricks were obviously defective at a glance, and after they were burned, they were crooked and twisted, and they were used to penetrate the wall, unless there was something wrong with the brain.

"These are our weapons for defending the city." Ge Hanlun saw Duan Shoujian's eager gaze, smiled, pointed to the bricks and stones, and said.

"Bricks? ......" Duan Shoujian was single-minded at first, and then came back to his senses, indeed, bricks and stones are used to defend the city, ancient times, many historical city defense battles, will be on the city wall after the city defense weapons are consumed, as a last resort, demolish the houses, and use the bricks, stones, and wood obtained from the demolition of the houses as a weapon to defend the city.

However, I have never seen this kind of defensive warfare in which bricks are used as weapons in the first place. Fang Lang couldn't help but spit out. "Bricks can indeed be used as a city defense weapon, but these bricks are difficult to fatally injure the Khuhus......"

Duan Shaojun did not answer General Fang Lang's question immediately, but sent someone to fetch two bricks and handed them to General Fang Lang.

Fang Langjiang felt that his hand couldn't help but sink, and after he stabilized it, he noticed something strange. "This brick seems too big, right? The bricks and stones used by the people to build their houses don't seem to be that big, right? ”

"Of course, these are specially burned for defensive weapons, so they will naturally be burned larger. An ordinary brick weighs about five catties to less than six catties, while the bricks we specially fired weigh about ten catties...... Fang Lang will be able to think about it, a ten-pound weight is thrown down from almost three floors, and the people below, even if they are wearing heavy armor, are afraid that it is not very comfortable, right? Grand Duke Duan grinned and smiled at General Fang Lang.

Fang Lang Jiang thought that even if he was wearing heavy armor, but if he stood at the foot of the towering city wall of Yunzhou City in a daze, and then looked forward to a brick weighing ten catties smashing into his head, Muma, Fang Lang Jiang couldn't help but shiver subconsciously.

"It's really not comfortable, but firing bricks is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so why not just take the stones?" Duan Shoujian couldn't help but interject next to him and asked.

Duan Shaojun smiled and fell on Duan Shoujian's body, his expression was so kind, he saw that Duan Shoujian was uncomfortable, and then he slowly spoke. "Captain Duan must not know, the central and northern parts of my Yunzhou, almost all of the plains, more mud and less stones, the people build houses, want to take stones, and even have to walk south for several days to go to the south of Yunzhou to get them, and the stones in that place are mostly limestone......"

"What is limestone?" Li Xuan looked at Duan Shaojun with a confused expression, and he was still weighing a brick in his hand, but soon His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who was powerless, threw the brick aside, this thing was really heavy.

Duan Shaojun glanced at Duan Shoujian, and then at Li Xuan, hmm...... Uncle and eldest nephew are really worthy of a family. "The kind of rock that can burn lime is called limestone, and you must not ask me what lime is."

“…… Brother, can you stop beating the little brother all the time, you have to save some face for me in front of people. Li Xuan, who had a black line on his face, looked at Duan Shaojun with a resentful look and complained in a low voice.

"Okay, Brother Xian, as long as you don't ask any more questions about what limestone is, I will never save face for you." Duan Dagongzi patted Li Xuan's shoulder with a look of pity, with a young man's IQ that was too worrying.

The five-mile city wall, although not long, is not short, and it takes more than an hour to circumvent it, and then it ends. In any case, 10,000 elite Zuo Yulin guards, plus 5,000 elite Shuozhou troops, and 5,000 long-trained state soldiers and county soldiers, here are 20,000, plus the newly trained 10,000 state soldiers and county soldiers, which can be used as auxiliaries.

Coupled with sufficient defensive weapons and strong city walls, there is still a high probability of success and probability in defending for ten days. As for Duan Dagongzi, he is full of confidence, and General Chen Zhonglang is also very confident, only those generals from the Shuozhou Army are a little gloomy.

"Then what kind of Lord Duan, if you use the state soldiers and county guards of Yunzhou to cooperate with the elite garrison of Zuo Yu Linwei, and my five thousand elite cavalry from Shuozhou are harassing outside, maybe it will be more possible to contain the siege rhythm of the Qihu army, after all, if our five thousand cavalry are trapped in the city and cannot come out, is it a pity?"

"General Fang Lang, don't forget, your reinforcements are cavalry, it's right, my Zuo Yu Lin Wei elite is also all cavalry, according to your meaning, let's simply withdraw from Yunzhou City, and those state soldiers and county guards will defend by themselves, and we can fight if we want, harass if we want, and be at ease......" When a Lang general of Zuo Yu Linwei heard this, he couldn't help but have a gloomy expression, and sneered and sneered.

"General Liu Lang, what do you mean by that?!" Before General Fang Lang could speak, the subordinates around him stopped doing it.

"What do I mean, you know ...... yourself" Liu Lang rolled his eyes, not to be outdone.

Duan Dagongzi couldn't help but feel a pain in his head. "You're all enough! Give me another troll, and the two of you will squat together in a small dark room in one room. ”

Hearing this, Liu Langjiang's face couldn't help but turn pale in an instant, and his mouth that was still crooked just now was instantly closed, with an expression that people were actually very virtuous and virtuous, and the Shuozhou military captain who was choking with Liu Lang was stunned for a moment, it seemed to be very inexplicable, is the little black house so terrible?

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, I think you should have read my Zuo Yu Linwei's military regulations, if someone deliberately makes noise and provokes discord among the officers and men in the army, they will be locked up for two days, if you don't know what confinement is, or if you want to understand, Liu Lang will you can take these Shuozhou army robes over to understand a thing or two, and you won't even have time to cry when you save it." Duan Dagongzi's face was gloomy, his gaze swept over the generals here, and he said coldly.

"Confinement is about locking people in a room, isn't it? What's ...... about this," the Shuozhou military captain said with a look of ignorance.

"And the general, you mean, you'd love to give it a try, right?" The gloom on Duan Shaojun's face gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a smile like a spring breeze like rain.

Seeing Duan Shaojun smile like this, all the generals of Zuo Yu Lin Wei, who knew Duan Dagongzi's smiling tiger virtue, all retreated in unison, and those Shuozhou army generals became Duan Dagongzi who was smiling and groaning.

And those Zuo Yulin guards who retreated to the side, as well as Ge Hanlun and others, all looked at the Shuozhou army generals who didn't understand how bad and vicious Duan Dagong was.

General Fang Lang really didn't understand, but after seeing the expressions of Zuo Yu Lin Wei's generals, he also seemed to notice that something was wrong, if it was just locked up in a room, why would these people of Zuo Yu Lin Wei be afraid of tigers, mud horses, there must be something greasy here.

Hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled the captain surnamed Wang aside, and said with a smile on Duan Shaojun's face. "Lord Duan, it's Fang who is not strict in disciplining his subordinates, I will definitely teach him a good lesson in a while, and I hope Lord Duan raises his noble hand......"

Duan Shaojun's squinted vicious eyes swept over the Captain Wang, and then he looked at General Fang Lang with a meaningful expression. "Well, since Fang Lang has taken you out, Duan Mou is not good not to sell your face, Duan Mou, as a Yunzhou don't drive and Yunzhou defense envoy, has full authority to take charge of the military and political power of Yunzhou, this official has just taken office, as the so-called new official took office with three fires, I haven't burned any of them yet, and please remind Fang Lang that your subordinates are ......"
