Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 259 Easy to defend and difficult to attack (four more)
"Either say that those who can climb the city wall are all elites, very skilled, and very strong." Chen Zhongyuan couldn't help but smack his tongue.

"When attacking a city, the general will usually motivate his soldiers, and the first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a reward of [-] taels or [-] taels." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with dark eyes and said, "Under the reward, there must be brave men! "

"So much?" All of them looked at Hong Lianshuo like hungry wolves, staring at Hong Lianshuo.

"What do you think?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them funny and said.

"Of course, I've never even seen a hundred copper coins in my life, let alone a hundred taels of gold." Li Shuangzhu said as he looked at Hong Lianshuo with gleaming eyes.

"We think so too."

"Think about how to practice your skills." Hong Lianshuo said, looking at them like hungry wolves.

"Miss Hong, do I have any questions?" Li Shuangzhu said loudly.

"Ask?" Hong Lianshuo looked at her gently and said.

"You have built our city so strong, and in case everyone's city is built like this, how can we attack the city!" Li Shuangzhu frowned and said with great worry.

Hong Lianshuo was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then "Haha..." He smiled, his smile was as warm as ice and snow melting.

"Shuangzhu deserves praise for considering this." Hong Lianshuo clapped his hands, "Applause for Shuangzhu."

"Papapa..." The applause was like thunder, and Li Shuangzhu blushed with shame, lowered his head, and grinned in joy.

Hong Lianshuo pressed his hands down, and the martial arts field became quiet, "The question raised by Shuangzhu is very good. If we make the shield so strong, we can also make the spear extremely sharp."

"Take the son's spear to attack the son's shield." Liu Kui blurted out, realizing what he said?Covering her mouth, she muttered, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, no, you're right." Hong Lianshuo said affirmatively, "First of all! Our city has to be repaired to protect our homeland. We don't want to be slaughtered unilaterally again!"

"Never!" Chen Zhongyuan raised his arms and shouted.

"Never!" The anger rushed into the sky.

"Defend your homeland!" Resolutely defend your homeland.

"Miss Hong, what do you think of this city! I'll do it anyway."

"Don't panic!" Hong Lianshuo shook his head and laughed when he heard the words, "Our focus today is on offense and defense! Let's talk freely about other things after we finish talking."

"Don't interrupt, listen to Mrs. Hong seriously." Chen Zhongyuan glanced at them and said.

"Yes!" Qi Qi responded in a loud voice.

Hong Lianshuo coughed lightly, "Let's continue, this has gone through a near-death experience, and the elite and powerful army at the front has climbed the city wall. They fought a bloody road and established a stable forward position on the city wall." Pointing at the city wall, "We must continue to withstand the counterattacks of the defenders rushing up from both sides. The rest is fueling tactics, and whoever can hold on until the opponent's morale collapses will win."

"It is really tragic to fight naked." Han Chuhu said with emotion.

"With so many siege machines, it's impossible not to have an inch of power!" Chen Zhongyuan said, pointing at the models of so many machines.

"The siege side has catapults and crossbows continuously attacking, and it can also knock down a section of the city wall. Of course, this chance is very small and cannot be ruled out." Hong Lianshuo pointed to the thick city wall, "Because the design of the city wall follows the The principle is that the wall is less expensive and the door is more expensive. The city wall is narrow and the bottom is wide, and the width of the foundation is not much less than the height. With the accuracy of the existing engineering equipment, it is absolutely difficult to smash the wall at a distance of a hundred paces, even if If the gap is opened, the pawns you charge will be attacked from three sides. If the defending team is determined to fight hand-to-hand, and blocks the attacking team’s charge at the gap, the pawns behind can only stand under the city wall and be beaten.”

"This is a ground siege. Another way is to dig tunnels. But the defenders are not vegetarian. The defenders will dig a deep trench behind the city wall. When you dig out of the soil, you will find it above your head. At a height of about ten feet high, the defenders are holding spears, stones and big knives are smiling at the attackers. And the tunnels you dig will be filled with smoke from the lit wet grass. The brothers of the attackers are basically It's going to be bacon." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a slight smile and said with clear water eyes.

"I remember that when Yi Di was besieging the city that day, they were poisoned." Lin Nanzheng suddenly remembered and said, "It's really in order to conquer the city."

"Most of the water in our city comes from wells, so I'm really not afraid of him poisoning." Han Jihu looked at them with dark eyes and said, "Poisoning is low-level enough, and the patients infected with the plague are thrown into the city with trebuchets. , that's the worst."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we won't cure the plague." Chen Zhongyuan said quickly after hearing the words, "Dare to use this trivial trick and beat them to cry."

"These are nothing? The most tragic thing in the world, the one that destroys human nature is to flood the city with water." Hong Lianshuo said with cold eyes.

"We know that during the Warring States Period, the country of Chu was tossed like this by Bai Qi." Lin Nanzheng remembered.

"Don't worry about Yandu City, flooding the city with water is only suitable for cities with low and flat terrain by the big river. Since ancient times, there have been few such battles, which requires the cooperation of geographical conditions." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and upright eyes and said. , "Generally, when building a city, low-lying areas are not considered in the first place."

"Huh... that's good, water and fire are ruthless." Chen Zhongyuan said with a long sigh.

"The city's repair is impregnable, and it is not so easy to capture the city easily with the current siege equipment." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with calm eyes and said, "The battle of defending the city is also a battle, and its intensity and cruelty are no less than that of the cavalry. The defending side needs at least the courage to fight against the city and a high-level general to take command. Under the circumstance that the military quality is roughly the same, defending the city is still an effective means of winning more with less."

"What is the current stage?" Han Chuhu said sharply, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"It is at this stage when the siege equipment is not much improved, it is easier to defend the city." Hong Lianshuo looked at them and said with his dark eyes.

In a city that is impregnable, it will also be blasted into slag under the plane cannon.

Such a strong city in the age of cold weapons could block the iron cavalry in the grasslands.

The military in the Southern Song Dynasty was weak, but the cities built by others were strong.In the Southern Song Dynasty, the national defense pressure was unprecedented, and the strong enemy in the north was eyeing it.

In order to maintain the safety of the small imperial court, the Southern Song Dynasty paid special attention to the construction of urban defense, trying to build a strong city and protect the West Lake singing and dancing under the warm wind.

The severe military situation and advanced experience have made the fortification technology of the Southern Song Dynasty reach the pinnacle, leaving a golden soup city on the land of China.
