Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1432 Difficulties
The entire Xinghai City was in full swing, and a group of soldiers started a major reconstruction.

The houses were knocked down one by one, and then used to build barracks and repair the city wall.

Although the houses are comfortable to live in, they are not conducive to the garrison of troops, so it is better to dismantle them all, and then dismantle them into open spaces to build barracks according to the plan, which is also easy to manage and dispatch.

Thanks to the help of cement and ready-made stone materials, such a large-scale reconstruction progressed very quickly.

Of course, it was also because the training of the Shenji Battalion had always been very strict, so even if the soldiers were asked to do these chores, they didn't have any objections.

The city walls have been repaired and reinforced, and all the camps in the city have been built. The entire Xinghai City has completely changed its appearance.

Standing on the top of the city, Su Cheng looked at the entire Xinghai City, and felt inexplicably proud in his heart.

There are even more cannons on the city wall. Looking at this impenetrable cannon, Su Cheng couldn't help but exuberantly said: "Everything is ready, just waiting for the Tibetans to come."

Xue Wanche looked at the neat barracks in the city, the sprawling grain and grass warehouses, and the artillery on the top of the city, and he was also shocked.

All this happened under his eyelids. In just a few days, he watched earth-shaking changes take place in the city and the city walls, and he didn't need to mobilize the civilians, but the soldiers rolled up their sleeves and worked harder.

Even though he thought it was unbelievable to fight all these years, how many days have passed!

Look at the densely packed cannons on the top of the city. After the Eastern Expedition, he knew how powerful the cannons are. With so many cannons, plus the barracks and piles of food and grass in the city, he felt that it would be no problem to stick to it for a year or so. I am afraid that the Tibetans will not have so many lives.

Xue Wanche touched the barb on the city wall, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Duke's idea is absolutely perfect!"

In fact, what Xue Wanche really wanted to say was that his idea was too insidious!It is definitely a scholar who can come up with such an insidious idea.

"I hope it will help." Su Cheng said with a smile.

When using cement to strengthen the city wall, Su Cheng had an idea and asked the soldiers to insert a lot of barbs around the outer wall of the city while the cement was still wet.

Some were iron thorns, but later iron was not enough, so wooden thorns were used directly. If the Tubo people wanted to climb the city with ladders, these barbs could be regarded as obstacles.

Xue Wanche said with a smile: "It is useful, why is it useless, the Tibetans will die if they are not careful."

Su Cheng smiled and said: "I don't know when the Tubo people will come. Speaking of which, although Shenjiying attacked the city during the Eastern Expedition, it has never defended the city. This is the first time to defend the city. It can be regarded as a test for the Shenji Camp, and I really can't wait."

Xue Wanche had a black thread all over his head when he heard it. Does this still need to be tested?

A musket with a bayonet is simply the most powerful weapon for defending the city. It can shoot long distances, and directly stab it with a bayonet when it is close. Coupled with artillery, it is no wonder that the Tubo people can attack the city wall!

There is no need to test it at all, but it is too strong after thinking about it. If not, the emperor would not let Su Cheng take Shenjiying as bait at ease.

Xue Wanche laughed and said, "This is not a test at all, it must be a massacre of the Tibetans!"

Speaking of this, Xue Wanche suddenly thought of a question, and pondered: "Duke, the muskets and cannons are so powerful, and we have strengthened the fortifications, will it scare the Tibetans?"

Su Cheng couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard this: "Scared the Tubo people?"

Xue Wanche nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, the Tubo people saw that the muskets and cannons were so powerful, they thought it was impossible to take down Xinghai City, and then they ran away."

Su Cheng couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. He has always been thinking about how to hold on better, and he has never considered the problem of scaring the Tibetans away.

But what Xue Wanche said is not unreasonable. After all, sticking to Xinghai City is not just to defend Xinghai City to repel the enemy, but to lure the enemy to let Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong lead troops to complete the encirclement , Annihilated the Tubo people in one fell swoop.

But if the Tubo people were frightened by the power of the dense artillery and muskets, felt that Xinghai City could not be defeated, and then gave up directly, wouldn't it mean that all plans were in vain?
Thinking of this, Su Cheng couldn't help stroking his forehead, it's really hard for me!
That's all for defending the city, but you can't fight too hard, and you can't repel the enemy. What is this?
To fight against the enemy, you have to consider the enemy's emotions, and you can't scare the enemy. This is nothing.

Su Cheng pondered: "Aren't the Tubo people brave and good at fighting? Shouldn't they be so fragile?"

After hearing this, Xue Wanche spread his hands and said: "The Goguryeo people still claim to be tenacious, and they were defeated by firearms? Although the Tubo people boasted that they were brave and good at fighting, they only boasted. In fact, they were not very brave. They I have never seen the power of firearms before, and I will definitely be frightened by firearms!"

This is true, Li Shimin and the others were taken aback when the cannons first appeared, but now that the Tubo people were bombarded by the cannons, they might have been shocked all of a sudden.

Su Cheng said in a deep voice: "Beat the drums and gather the generals, and call everyone's meeting room for discussion."

The Tubo people may come at any time, so this issue must be discussed as soon as possible, otherwise the generals will fight hard, and they may really scare the Tubo people all at once.

A group of generals rushed to the meeting hall in a hurry, and all of them were very excited.

At this time, the Duke suddenly beat the drums and gathered the generals. Could it be because the scouts detected the traces of the Tubo army?

Is it finally going to war?It's exciting to think about.

Su Cheng and Xue Wanche strode into the conference hall, and the generals couldn't wait to ask: "Duke, have you found any traces of the Tubo people?"

Su Cheng stepped down from the commander-in-chief position, shook his head slightly, and said, "For the time being, we haven't found any traces of the Tubo people. Today's drumming and general gathering is because I and General Xue suddenly thought of a problem."

"Our garrison in Xinghai City is not just to hold on to the city and guard the food and grass, but to support the Tubo army and let the British princes come back to support the Tubo army. If we fight too hard as soon as we come up, the artillery will be full Ming, fire guns, will it scare the Tubo people, they feel that they can't attack Xinghai City, so they just give up?"

All the generals were also stunned. They had been trying to beat the Tubo people hard all the time, but they hadn't really thought about this problem.

But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that this is really a problem.

Therefore, you can't beat them hard as soon as you come up, otherwise, you might really scare the Tubo people away.

PS: I would like to recommend a novel "Your Majesty, I Just Want to Eat Soft Rice", a new book by the boss, absolutely excellent.
