burning nations

Chapter 118

The armor in the arsenal and the food in the grain depot, the two most important places, are all right. Lin Yang has already relaxed, and his goal has been achieved. He doesn't want to go on shopping anymore, and plans to go back home.

Zhang Cai saw that this was not going to happen, you haven't gone to the barracks yet, you haven't climbed the wall, how high the wall is, but Weng Cheng doesn't know at all, this is not the time to be lazy!
So under Zhang Cai's strong request, Lin Yang reluctantly rode the chasing wind black Wanli dragon horse to the barracks to inspect the soldiers in the hot spring village who were training.

In the barracks, Ma Peng and Yi Shang were exercising the soldiers against the sun, when they suddenly heard that Lin Yang came uninvited in the bright sun, they were very surprised.Although the two of them are vulgar warriors, they have fought in the army for many years, and they have taken too many backstabbing shots, no matter how uncomfortable they are, they still pay respects to the superior according to the etiquette, so as not to cause pain to each other.

Although Lin Yang's etiquette is not as good as Tan Yang's perverted and capable, even the old bureaucrats, but he is still easy to deal with Ma Peng and Yi Shang, so it is natural to talk about the art of war with them, and he is modest about some military affairs Ask the two for advice and improve their senses. Lin Yang was dealing with the two in the front, and Zhang Cai turned his attention to the soldiers in the back. Strong and strong, all of them are full of tendons. Okay, Zhang Cai is itching to see sex.

[Such soldiers, compared with Wang Tingqianqi of the Grassland Army, do not give in too much. These soldiers Ma Peng and Yi Shang should be trained for a long time. 】

Lin Yang naturally noticed the vigorous training of the soldiers beside his ears. He was very happy to see the strong soldiers. Just looking at the appearance, the soldiers in the hot spring village were no worse than his own private soldiers.

"Are these soldiers from Hot Spring Village? How many are there?"

"Report to Zhizhai, a total of 803 people."

"Oh, with such a majestic posture, 800 can defeat a thousand people. You guys have trained well. It seems that the two of you are quite good at training soldiers."

"Thank you Zhizhai for the compliment!"

Lin Yang had a question: "The hot spring village is an important place. Why is there only 800 soldiers in this village? Didn't Liu Yangwei increase his troops?"

Ma Peng and Yi Shang looked at each other, and finally Ma Peng clasped his fists and replied: "So that Zhizhai knows. When the former Zhizhai was there, Shangfeng reinforced the village. There should have been 2070 horse infantry soldiers. However, the former Zhizhai controlled the military pay." , I tried to find the reason for the embarrassment, so that the number of soldiers in the village was 2000, but there were actually 400. The 400 people were still the former Zhizhai's own private soldiers. Now that Lin Zhizhai is here, the 400 private soldiers will follow the former Zhizhai After leaving, Ju said that he is now a utilitarian of Longyou Dao."

Ma Peng spoke half of the sentence, and Yi Shang took the other half: "When the former Zhizhai was there, he often withheld the military salary to fill his own pockets, causing many soldiers to defect or flee, and many generals used their contacts to transfer away. Only the two of us did not." Follow your feet and stay here. However, defending the country is suffering and suffering, but you don’t pay the army, what can you do for it! Zhizhai now sees soldiers, not the original soldiers. There are 803 people here. They are all old brothers fighting side by side, there are guards and garrison soldiers, anyway, they are fighting on the battlefield to protect the safety of the village and avoid the pain of fighting from east to west."

After Lin Yang heard this, he was already furious: "It is because of your two faults that the arsenal and grain depot in the village have not been emptied by moths, is it true?"

Ma Peng and Yi Shang said in surprise: "Zhizhai has already been to the arsenal and grain depot?!"

Lin Yang didn't answer: "You two are good guys, I know that the village will definitely use you again, now who will take me to familiarize myself with the city defense in the village?"

Ma Peng said: "Then let the subordinates accompany Zhizhai for a walk!"

Then, Ma Peng led Lin Yang to walk around the wall of the village.

"To let Zhizhai know that Wenquanzhai is an important military base of the empire. The walls and walls are all made of three-component clay. After the boards are built, three-foot iron cones are used to chisel them. It is difficult to pull them out even if the iron man uses a cart. Hit, hard to move the wall." Ma Peng introduced to Lin Yang.

After hearing this, Lin Yang didn't believe in evil, pinched his hand on the female wall, and broke it off with some force.

Ma Peng choked: "Knowing the real power of the village"

Zhang Cai hurried to remedy the situation: "I don't know how high and thick the wall is? Is there a bed crossbow on the wall? If you want to fight, how many soldiers can a wall occupy?"

Ma Peng looked around, thinking that this man might not be a eunuch.
"The perimeter of the wall is more than 1 mile. It is only 8 meters high and 5 meters thick. For bed crossbows, there are four turrets. Each wall has a horse face. Generally speaking, 500 people can stand on a wall. Arrowheads, wood and stone, three to 400 people are enough for one wall."

"Zhizhai has also seen that Wenquanzhai has two gates and also has Wengcheng. In Wengcheng, 500 people must stand on one wall, otherwise it is impossible to defend the army. It is a pity that there were few soldiers before, and it was difficult to mobilize the villagers. Fill the gap, so we don't defend Wengcheng."

"How much are the defensive equipment such as rolling wood and thunder stone?" Lin Yang asked.

Ma Peng laughed: "How can there be any extra trees here for felling? How can there be any extra young and strong in the village for digging stones? The wood and stones stored in the village are all used for repairing houses and warehouses, or burning firewood for war defense For tools, I will use more gold juice."

Zhang Cai nodded in the back, Xin Dao said that collecting gold juice does not require strong labor, a group of old people will do, and can continue to produce.

Later, Ma Peng pointed out to Lin Yang one by one the important points on the wall of the village. Where is lower, where is the direction that Iron Man often attacks, where is easy to leak, and where is weak point. Lin Yang or Zhang Cai can ask any questions, Ma Peng answered one by one.

At the end of the trip to the city, Ma Peng said: "Please Zhizhai and my subordinates, there is another important place that Zhizhai needs to know."

Lin Yang looked at the sky and was very reluctant, but under Zhang Cai's urging, he followed Ma Peng, walked on the streets in the village, followed his footsteps, and climbed up a high tower.

Ma Peng explained: "Zhizhai, this is the beacon tower in the village. If there is any military situation, it will come here to warn the surrounding military villages. It is clear at a glance to set off smoke during the day and light a fire at night."

Zhang Cai and Lin Yang looked around the beacon tower. There was nothing special about it. It was built with rammed earth, wood and stone, and it was just a remodeled tower.

During this period, Zhang Cai kept a close eye on Lin Yang, just in case he had any intentions of being messy, and set the beacon tower on fire if he had nothing to do, it would cause a big mess!

It was already night when we returned to Zhizhai Mansion, Lin Yang washed up and went to sleep, but Zhang Cai couldn't sleep, maybe it was because of excitement, maybe it was because he missed his old friend in the grassland army, maybe he was still confused about the future, anyway he couldn't sleep, quietly Mimi came to the main hall of Zhizhai Mansion. This is the place where meetings are usually held. There is a military map. This is not the kind of map that is drawn like a dog in the grassland army.

He came to the front with a fire book, and looked at the date marked on the map: "Painted in the 21st year of Zhangwu flattery."Roughly speaking, this map has been drawn for 20 years.Looking at the marks on the map, on the 1.5m by [-]m map, the marks representing the village are densely packed on the entire map. There are so many marks that Zhang Cai thinks that he has a mass phobia.

Following the marks on the map, Zhang Cai squinted his eyes and clicked one by one. On the west side of Wenquan village, there is a village that is almost pasted with the Wenquan village on the map. Zhang Cai thought about it. I have inquired about where the Hot Spring Village is, and what it is called [Zhahe Village]. According to this, it is only eight or ten miles away, which is quite close.

On the east side, there is a village with almost no gaps. I don’t know the name. It is estimated that the distance is not far from Zhagen Village; Look no further.A pair of beautiful eyes are dry and dry, and tears can flow out of them when they are closed.

[Ma'am, you ruined your eyes!hateful!Who the hell drew the map?Can't it be bigger? Isn't it 10 meters by 20 meters?Let me go, if this is drawn to the size of a map that can be carried at any time, the eyes will not be blind! 】

Eyes hurt, go back to sleep.

Zhang Cai made a plan for himself. Anyway, if he had nothing to do, he would draw the map again and make dozens or dozens of copies. Anyway, Pei Lun had taught him how to draw the map.

So the next day, Zhang Cai brought his own pen and paper to draw. After drawing a map centered on Hot Spring Village, Zhang Cai gave up.You don't know where to take the center at all, and you will get confused when you count.

Zhang Cai is very crazy!
What made her even more maddened was that this was a map drawn 20 years ago. Some fortresses had already been breached by Iron Man or even razed to the ground, losing their reference value. At most, they could provide a general impression.
