When? In times of war! 631 Contributions
Dong Ce sat on the horse, squinting his eyes slightly, as if he was looking at the mountains in the distance. In fact, he was thinking about the specifics of this battle: how to arrange the troops later? How? At how fast? Is it divided into several waves or a swarm of all-up?
All of this is something to be carefully considered, because war is actually made up of countless details, and a seemingly inconspicuous detail may lead to unpredictable consequences.
After a while, Fang Cai came up with a general idea.
At this moment, there was a small sound of horses' hooves behind him, Dong Ce looked back, but it was Dong Zhongxian who came over with a horse, and he was followed by a family member, who seemed to be looking for him.
Dong Zhongxian hit the horse and approached, his wound had been bandaged, and he had a cotton armor on the outside, and he couldn't see the bandages inside, and he looked like he was fine. He claimed that he had seen an adult, turned over and dismounted, and was about to kowtow, Dong Ce waved his hand: "If you are injured, you don't need to be formal, what is the matter with coming to this official?" ”
Because Dong Zhongxian was injured, Dong Ce left two people for him and let them stay by the river at the bottom of the mountain, which was to guard the back road in case someone killed him from behind, and at the same time to take care of the two prisoners by the way.
didn't know what Dong Zhongxian did when he suddenly came up.
Dong Zhongxian still kowtowed after all, and then said respectfully: "If you go back to your lordship, the second captive captured has been clamoring to see you, saying that he wants to offer advice to you. The subordinates didn't dare to slack off, so they brought him over. ”
"Oh? Do you want to give it to the officer? It's kind of interesting. Dong Ce smiled: "Let him talk about it." ”
"Yes." Dong Zhongxian answered, turned around and beckoned, and the family behind him dragged a person from the horse and threw it on the ground.
The man was wearing a half-worn black cotton jacket, covered with grass clippings and dust, and his face was also covered with bloodstains on the corners of his mouth and chin, as well as on his chest. His hands were tied behind his back, and his feet and ankles were also tied, presumably for fear that he would escape.
It was the prisoner that Dong Zhongkang captured.
He threw it on the ground and fell all over his body, but he couldn't care about anything at this moment, turned over on the ground, looked at Dong Ce, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Big master, the little one has an idea, so you can hit it without much effort!" ”
Dong Ce looked at him, this person was of medium stature, honest and simple-looking, and even looked a little wooden, but he didn't expect that he still had this thought. He was originally a horse thief, and he was captured as a prisoner, if he was an ordinary person, he was afraid that he would either close his eyes and wait for death at this time, or he would be panicked, but he could not panic, but to see himself and offer advice, and it was not easy to do this.
There are at least two things that can be said: first, he is quite calm and unhurried. Second, this person is very bold and has some courage, and he can go out and fight so well.
But these are not enough to make Dong Ce look at him differently, it depends on what ideas he can come up with. If it is a good idea, as he said, it can make the officers and soldiers kill the platform without wasting too much effort and paying too much damage, then Dong Ce does not mind leaving him alive, and even has another appointment in the future.
But if the strategy he offered is not worth mentioning, I am afraid that Dong Ce will give him a stab in the face later.
"Tell me about it." Dong Ce said lightly.
"Thank you, sir!"
The captive let out a long sigh of relief and clung to his neck and shouted. He was still quite confident in his plan, and what he was most worried about was that Dong Ce wouldn't let him speak, which was really everything.
Before Fang Cai came up, he had already been turned in his stomach by the words I don't know how many times, he swallowed his saliva, and said loudly: "The little ones have fought with the old men of the official army, the old men of the official army have a hard bow and shoot far, and the little ones know this." But the platform is two feet high, these horse thieves shoot arrows from above, taking advantage of the condescending, even if the official army shoots far away, but it is shot upward, so it is reached. ”
"The little one knows that Bai Mazi's traitor has piled up a lot of big wooden stones on the edge of the platform, and when the officers and soldiers attack on their backs, they are going to push one of them down, those small stones have seen it, and the small ones are bigger than a human head, and the wood is a beam that was directly removed from the house, and one was thrown down, but I was afraid that seven or eight people would have to be stoned to death."
"For the sake of the officers and soldiers, the little one has an idea."
"The little one pleads, sir, to build a building car."
Hearing the words of the horse thief, Dong Ce couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This horse thief thought that Fang had been paying attention to the battle above, and he could see it so clearly, directly pointing out the disadvantages of Dong Ce's side and the huge casualties that might be caused by using traditional offensive methods, which made him Dong Ce quite surprised. He secretly thought that he was afraid that his subordinates could not have such knowledge.
And he is now in a situation where he may be in a situation where he may be killed at any time, but his expression is somewhat calm, and although his speech speed is very fast, it is very clear, which makes people hear it very clearly.
Dong Ce sighed softly, even if this horse thief's plan was unworking, he planned to spare his life. If you give him some duties and errands, you will be able to grow into a very outstanding talent.
"Floor car?" Dong Ce said: "You said it more clearly. ”
In ancient China, there were countless siege battles, and the defenders and besieging sides were full of wisdom, and various tricks were endless. After thousands of years of war, all kinds of siege equipment have formed a fairly large family, and most of these siege equipment are named 'so-and-so car', and many of them even have the same name. Just talking about the word building car, at least when Dong Ce heard it, there was no way to have a clear and intuitive picture in his mind.
"This is the name of the small one, and the little one doesn't know what it's called, but I remember it clearly in my heart, and I can draw it."
The horse thief said with some trepidation.
Dong Ce looked at his hands that were still tied behind him, pointed, and said, "Untie him." ”
"Yes!"
Dong Zhongxian answered, walked behind the horse thief, and cut the rope tied to his hand with a knife.
However, he was still quite cautious after all, and did not untie the rope from his ankle, anyway, he said that he would draw it, and he would not use his feet to draw things.
The thief leveled a small piece of ground with his hands, took a branch and drew a few strokes on it, and a pattern of siege equipment jumped out. He pointed there and said, "Sir, this is the kind of car." ”
Dong Ce was slightly surprised again. His painting is still very good, with a few brushstrokes, this pattern is quite expressive, so that people can know what it is at a glance.
Dong Ce looked at the pattern called Lou Che, and his face became solemn.
It doesn't look complicated, but it's very practical.
The main body of the apparatus is a wooden platform, with four wheels underneath, and at the top of the four wheels is a layer of wooden planks, and then on the four corners of the plank, a pillar is nailed to each of them, and the top of these four pillars is a platform made of wooden planks, and in front of this platform is a vertical wooden plank. And on the wooden platform, there is also a whole long wooden plank.
The device looks very simple, the kind of structure that people can see through at a glance, and such a structure determines that its manufacture is not very complicated, but it is just a few pieces of wood, a few planks nailed into it, and perhaps the most difficult to solve is the four wheels, which are more difficult to manufacture.
And what it is used for, with Dong Ce's experience, it can naturally be seen at a glance. This thing looks like a siege city. Naturally, there are soldiers standing on this platform, and the planks in front of it are used to resist the shooting of bows and arrows from the city wall, and this car can be built higher or lower, depending on the height of the city wall, roughly maintaining the same height as the city wall, or even slightly higher, so as to offset the advantage of the city wall being condescending. There were soldiers pushing carts behind, and the soldiers on the platform were behind the planks to avoid the rain of arrows on the city wall, and then when they got close to the city wall, they put down the long plank and put it on the city wall, like a springboard on a ship, so that the soldiers could go directly to the city wall.
