Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 257 Offensive and defensive battle (two more)
What is scolding?Hong Lianshuo listened with black lines all over his face, does she look unreasonable?It's just that his voice is a little louder, and he firmly refuses to admit that he has a bad temper.

"Find the mistakes in time and correct them, it's not necessarily me! Your comrades eat, live and train together. You don't know what's wrong with them! It's the right thing to bring it up in time and help your comrades to correct them." Hong Lianshuo He looked at them more softly and said.

"I remember!" Li Shuangzhu nodded heavily.

"I want to say one more thing! It's about finding mistakes, not nitpicking and deliberately nitpicking." Hong Lianshuo looked at them seriously and said, "You have to master this degree! It's too much."

"I know that starting from the public heart, starting from the overall interests of our team." Li Shuangzhu looked at them firmly and said.

"That's right." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with relief and said.

Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said, "I think the siege is easy, so I asked the Master to gather together and see how the offensive and defensive battle was fought."

"Yes!" Li Shuangzhu replied loudly.

"Assemble at the school grounds." Hong Lianshuo pointed in the direction of the martial arts field.

"How do I say this?" Han Yanhu looked at her worriedly and said, "Do you need to draw a picture? A simple picture is more convenient and intuitive to say."

"If there are models, let them feel the siege and defense intuitively, and see how easy it is." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and upright eyes and said.

"Then let's go, what are you waiting for?" Lin Nanzheng looked at them eagerly and said.

"Go to Mr. Cao first and move the model to the school grounds." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said.

"You guys go to the school grounds, I'll go find Mr. Cao." Lin Nanzheng volunteered.

"Then let's go!" Han Yanhu looked at Hong Lianshuo and said casually, "I don't know if Cao Lao has gone back? They also went to the exercise."

"Kung Fu should go back now!" Hong Lianshuo said as he walked.

The two walked to the school grounds, and they didn't have much time. The soldiers lined up neatly with their ponytails, walked over, and stood in their own positions.

"Sit down." Hong Lianshuo's clear eyes looked at their hands and looked at them with a smile, "I know you have doubts in your heart, what are you doing here after this exercise? I'll tell you about defending the city later. Offensive and defensive battle!"

The words fell to Lin Nanzheng and Cao Huaimin, who carried the model over.

Under the guidance of Cao Huaimin, they put the model on the straw mat.

Intuitively face the models, especially the oversized ones, as big as the Chase-like beds they sleep on, and to be more specific, half the size of a house.

The soldiers were stunned, "This... isn't this our Dongcheng Gate?"

"That's right, it's the East Gate of the city where we practiced just now." Hong Lianshuo pointed at the city wall with a thick, long bamboo pole.

"Now I'll talk about the offensive and defensive battle against the city wall." The 'pointer' in Hong Lianshuo's hand began to preach, "After the attacker starts to attack the city, the attacker must stand directly in front of the wall of sheep and horses..." Nodding, "This is the Sheep and Horse Wall!"

"We don't have a sheep and horse wall, it's directly a city wall." Lin Nanzheng looked up at her and said.

"So when building the horse face, it is also building the sheep and horse wall." Hong Lianshuo pointed to two special places.

The Yangma Wall is the inner moat wall of the moat outside the city tower. It is a fortification similar to the city circle built outside the city to defend against the enemy. Especially after the moat freezes in the north in winter, the Yangma City outside the big city wall bears the brunt and becomes the second city. A fortification.

"The wall of sheep and horses is five feet high, reaching the shoulders of people." Hong Lianshuo nodded his shoulders and said, "However, the base is five feet thick, which means that the siege side must get off the mount and climb over it himself. to pass."

Cao Huaimin smiled and said, "During a siege, even if this wall of sheep and horses is not very high, it is an insurmountable obstacle for the attackers - to climb over this wall of sheep and horses is bound to be counterattacked by the defenders. Even if they succeed in jumping into Yangma City, the narrow terrain makes it impossible for them to deploy siege equipment such as ladders."

"There are ambulances inside the sheep-horse wall, and they use long spears to attack the enemy who crosses the moat. If the enemy breaks through the sheep-horse wall and only opens a small opening, the defender can use the sheep-horse wall and the city wall to entertain crowds who enter through the narrow opening. The enemy makes them attack the city while attacking the city. Even if the Yangma Wall is breached, the space between the Yangma Wall and the city wall is reduced, the army cannot be fully deployed, and it is difficult to deploy large-scale siege equipment.” Hong Lianshuo Bright He looked at them with shining eyes and said, "The most important thing is that this kind of sheep and horse wall doesn't cost much money, it's easy to build, but it can play a miraculous effect of deterring the enemy's advance! It's really cheap and abundant, Jane Affordable!"

"Then what is the bulge outside the city wall? I haven't seen it when the city wall was built." Lin Nanzheng pointed at the horse face wall.

"The purpose of this horse-faced fortification is like this..." Hong Lianshuo introduced in detail what a horse-face is and what role it plays in the fortification system.

"The three-dimensional defense of the city is not just as simple as a city wall." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said, "The entire city wall defense system, the atmosphere of several major areas, the moat, the suspension bridge, the sheep horse wall, the barn city, the city tower, the arrow tower. Most of them." The pointer in his hand tapped one by one.

"The first line of defense in the city's defense is the moat, and after the moat is the wall of sheep and horses." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and upright eyes and said.

"Why is it called Sheep and Horse Wall?" Han Zhuhu looked at her puzzled and asked.

"The Sheep and Horse Wall, as the name suggests, is mainly used to protect the livestock of the rural people who have entered the city to take refuge." Hong Lianshuo looked up at them slightly and said, "When the Hu soldiers besieged the city, the people outside the city drove cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks into the inner city."

"Yes, that smell is really unpleasant, and it's very noisy." Lin Nanzheng said with disgust.

"There is a plague in the city because of them. People and livestock are mixed together." Hong Lianshuo reminded them.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's face changed greatly. Although they recovered, they did not leave terrifying sequelae, but the purgatory-like tragic scene in the city could not be forgotten in this life.

"Let's get down to business, this sheep and horse wall was built for livestock outside the city." Hong Lianshuo snorted coldly, "Not a single feather is left for the enemy."

"That's right! We raised it hard." Chen Zhongyuan shouted loudly.

Hong Lianshuo smiled and said, "The horse-raising wall also plays the role of fortifications outside the city. It is the inner moat wall built into the moat outside the building, and it is also the second line of defense after the moat. When the moat defense line breaks down or freezes in winter At the same time, the sheep and horse wall can effectively block the enemy. This is what Cao said just now, so I won't repeat it. "
