The fort of the protruding department was defending against the vanguard of the Qin army, and the rear of Yan County, Jingling County, Yilu County, and Anlu County were also rapidly assembling, and Zhou Wenhe Diao Ding only took one day to arrive in Yan County.

When the two arrived in Yan County, although they looked exhausted, they did not dare to relax, and they did not even enter the city and went directly to the garrison camp outside the city. They were stopped outside the camp by the guards, who showed them tokens for them to go and inform.

Standing outside the gate of the barracks, Zhou Wenhe could definitely see that the garrison inside seemed to be very busy, what military order should he have received?

Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed in the armor of a military marquis came out to greet him, he respectfully returned the token, and saluted: "Our department has received an order, and the military camp will be expanded by tomorrow." ”

There will be troops from the four counties rushing to Yan County to meet, so it is a matter of course to expand the military camp.

Zhou Wen asked the name of the middle-aged military marquis, and then said, "Is there any news coming back from the front?" ”

The military marquis named Xia Zhi replied, "The Qin army is attacking Fort A No. 2," and said that he invited Zhou Wenhe to enter the camp, and said as he walked, "The news reported by the scouts is that the Qin army is clearing the obstacles outside the fort, and today the Qin army has tried to ascend the city twice, and both times they were repelled by the defenders of the fort. ”

Zhou Wen was attached late, and he didn't know much about the fortifications of Nanjun, but he got the layout of the fort, entered the barracks, came to a camp tent, and immediately found a place to spread out the map, and inspected the map to find the location of the No. 2 fort.

"Fort A No. 2 has a garrison of 1,000 troops, and since this fort is the most protruding part, its defensive facilities are more complete than the forts behind." As a deputy general, his duty is to fill in the gaps for Zhou Wen.

"Building by the water is exactly the position that is stuck in Deng County and Ye County." Although the internal structure of the fort is not clear, the location chosen by the fort makes Zhou Wen have to admire it in his heart.

Obviously, if you want to attack Fort A No. 2, the Qin army can't press more troops in that kind of terrain. Then the fort also played a role in delaying the advance of the enemy army.

Zhou Wen asked what just now, Xia Zhi asked outside.

Xia Zhi brought a scout who looked out of breath and said, "Lord, this is the scout who has just returned from the front line. ”

"The villain has seen the main general! I've seen the lieutenant! After the scout saluted, he took a big breath and waited for Zhou Wen to ask a question.

Zhou Wen looked at Diaoding, Diaoding knew more than him, and Diaoding asked him to listen while listening to the situation on the front line.

The carving did not postpone and asked, "The battle situation of Fort A No. 2; The movements of the Qin army. ”

"Back to the main general, back to the deputy general." It's a clever scout, "The Qin army continues to suppress No. 2 A with an arrow array, and the foot soldiers are divided into three groups to attack in turn, and the outer wall outline is suppressed too hard by the Qin army's arrow array, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold the wall outline, and soon it will attack the main body of the fort for a fierce battle; The 20,000 troops of the Qin army invested 8,000 to attack repeatedly, and the other 12,000 men seemed to be resting. That's the end of the answer, but he obviously has additional information? There was a pause, as if he was breathing back. He continued, "When observing the battle situation, I found that the Qin army camp had sent three groups of scouts. ”

Attacking Fort A No. 2 and sending scouts at the same time? Zhou Wen glanced at the scout appreciatively, and just thought of something about to reward him. He is no longer the Lord's subordinate. How can you give it at will?

Xia Zhi saw that the scout had finished reporting, and saluted Zhou Wenhe and Diao, "If there is a military situation, the staff will come back to tell you." With that, he went out with the scout.

"Brother Ding?" Zhou Wen, who restrained the complex emotions in his heart, looked at the thoughtful carving. "In your opinion, how long can Fort A No. 2 be able to support the 20,000 Qin army beyond the outer wall?"

Calling a brother? If Zhou Wen is not a person who is attached, how can he be called a deputy general as a general. Carving himself understood that Zhou Wenjing was an old man who followed Lu Zhe from Yiling and started from the end of Weimo. Lian said that he did not dare, "The outer wall of the fort only played the role of blocking the troops, so that the enemy could not pour in too much at one time." At the beginning of the design of the fort, the main fortification was the fort itself. ”

Zhou Wen didn't understand it.

Carving explained: "There is a corridor between the wall outline and the main body of the fort, which is borrowed from the experience of the Qin State in building a city. The corridor had little effect on the defenders, and the enemy could only accommodate five people walking side by side in the terrain whether they entered the city or broke the gate of the wall. The location of the entrance to the fortress can only be known by the defenders, and the enemy can only be clear if they seize the live mouth and ask them, if they do not know the entrance, they will only go around the circular corridor. There are holes in some parts of the wall of the corridor, and the defenders are familiar with the terrain and can attack from the holes to launch a counterattack against the enemy troops in the corridor. ”

Zhou Wen somewhat understood, and was horrified that such a design would allow the enemy to be cut off and attacked when the road was detoured. Still, he said, "After a few successes, the enemy will tear down the wall." ”

"It's nature." "Those are still part of the deterrent effect. The real fierce battle was fought by the enemy army into the main body of the fort, and there were corridors similar to corridors in it, and there were mechanisms in individual locations, and the enemy had to pay a great price if they wanted to succeed layer by layer. ”

"That's how every fort is designed?" Zhou Wen asked urgently.

"How is that possible?" Carved finger map, "Only the armor fort with the first number has such a design, although the rest of the forts have similar fortifications, but due to the problem of time, they are much simpler." No. 2 A is built because it is built by water, and it is not afraid of enemy fire, but it is one of them. The second is that the Lord ......" said that he paused, thought about it and added simply, "There are few forts in this direction, so it is natural to be more attentive." ”

It's not about trust, but it should be Lu Zhe himself, and it's not yet the turn of Diao Ding to explain the entire strategic intention to Zhou Wen.

At the beginning of the speculation that the Qin army would attack Nanjun, Lü Zhe consciously strengthened the fortifications in the direction of Ba County and Hanzhong County and deliberately reduced the number of fortresses in Nanyang County. The intention of this is to form a weakness in a certain direction, which can be regarded as demarcating an area that is expected to be attacked by the enemy. The number of forts has decreased, so the quality of the forts has to be improved, and there are only seven forts in Nanjun County, including three in the position facing Nanyang County.

It is obvious that the Qin State only knew that the number of forts there was small, but it was not clear that there were also differences between the forts and the forts, and the deliberate formation of weak areas really became the direction of the Qin army's attack.

Zhou Wen is an understanding person, seeing that Diao Ding stopped halfway through his speech and looked at him apologetically, he knew what it meant when he thought about it. He took the initiative to change the topic: "Since the Qin army has already landed in the city, it must have realized that it would be difficult to break through the fortress in a short time, so they sent scouts again. ”

Carved the head of the jaw and said: "After the second first, there is the third first." The Qin army sent scouts to find out if there were any reinforcements on our side, and even more so to find out if there were any gaps. ”

Zhou Wen had already seen it from the map just now, and he didn't know whether it was from his heart or the scene, and he exclaimed: "The Lord is really far-sighted, just a plan to let the Qin army enter the predetermined battlefield." ”

I don't know that Zhou Wen is tempting, and since it has been guessed, it doesn't hurt to say it: "These should have been talked about by the lord and the lord." It may be that there is too much time, so the lord did not inform the commander. ”

can only be explained in this way, Zhou Wen clearly carved that he couldn't say it, but he couldn't speculate about whether Lu Zhe said it or not, after all, there was always a reason for the superior not to say it.

Since Lu Zhe had already made arrangements, then Zhou Wen's mentality was not so urgent, he discussed with Diao Ding about the actions after the reinforcements from the four counties were gathered, and he rested after eating.

The distance between Yan County, Jingling County, Yilu County, and Anlu County is not the same, and the first to gather is the 3,000 reinforcements from Yan County, which is twenty-five miles away from Yan County, and they arrived at the end of the night. The difference was about an hour and a half, and two thousand reinforcements from Yilu County also arrived in Yan County. Around the same time, a force of 9,000 men also entered the barracks.

When Zhou Wen got up the next day, he walked out of the military tent to find Diaoding, and found that Diaoding was no longer in the tent, and when he asked, he knew that the person was going to the newly expanded military camp, and last night 14,000 reinforcements had all arrived.

Sure enough, it didn't happen overnight to gain Lu Zhe's trust. This time he used me, using my talents, not loyalty. Talent is valued, Zhou Wen is a little proud and a little lost. He wasn't quite sure in his heart whether he was willing to be subordinate, in fact, he also knew that it was not overnight to gain Lu Zhe's trust, "let's go", for him, whether he really wanted to belong to Lu Zhe or find an opportunity to build his own career, the most important thing now was to achieve the purpose ......of reinforcing the front.

When Diao Ding came to look for it with a few rolls of bamboo slips, he saw Zhou Wen sitting on his knees in a daze. He didn't think much about it, and reported: "The main general, I went to ask for a meeting in the morning, and I didn't dare to disturb the main general." Perform the duties of a deputy general, and go to deploy and reorganize first," he said respectfully placing the bamboo slip on the table in front of Zhou Wen, "These are the rosters of reinforcements from the four counties. ”

"Oh, hard work." Zhou Wen didn't say anything when he saw that he could still be respectful as an old man, opened the list of generals and marquis of Zhu Jian, took a closer look, and asked, "Have you notified the military marquis to come?" ”

Carved to say that it has been notified.

The sergeants can rest after a long march, but the generals of the army need to meet the commander immediately, which is the rule in the army.

There are fourteen military marquis in the 14,000 reinforcements, and they all meet Zhou Wen, which can be regarded as the face of the subordinates who know the main general, and also allows the main general to know who the "tentacles" of the army under his command are.

Zhou Wen asked in detail about the situation of the fourteen soldiers of the military marquis headquarters one by one, but it was not clear whether he belonged to the "powerful" category.

"Since the headquarters you are waiting for is not tired," Zhou Wen asked for the opinion of the carving, and ordered: "You need to complete the assembly at any time, and wait for the order to set off at any time!" ”

The fourteen military marquis immediately held the military salute and responded loudly: "Hey! (To be continued......)
