Mi Han

Chapter 46 My teacher, Lord Zhuge of Wolong
Public Security City was originally a small city, but since Liu Bei used it as a government office, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to expand it.
Liu Bei's specific expansion measures are to build four tall city walls a few miles away from the original public security city wall.

Therefore, Gong'an City is actually guarded by two tall walls, and is divided into the inner city and the outer city by these two walls.

After Guan Yu ruled Jingzhou, he also adopted his good brother's approach and expanded Jiangling City like a public security city.

After Liu Bei's expansion, the area of ​​the Public Security City was doubled from the original size. Not only that, Liu Bei also focused on expanding the moat outside the Public Security Outer City.

Moats, also known as Hao, are mostly artificially excavated rivers surrounding the city walls.

It is mainly used for defense, which can effectively prevent the invasion of enemies or animals.

Under Liu Bei's expansion, the moat surrounding the entire Public Security City has a huge area, with an average width of 40 meters!
Mi Yang stood beside the moat outside the east gate of Gong'an City, looking at the wide moat between himself and the wall of Gong'an City,

For the first time, he felt a little small,

There was not only a sigh of emotion in his heart,
This is the river.

In my previous life, Mi Yang watched ancient war movies, and the moat inside was so narrow that it seemed that an adult could cross it with one step.
At that time he had doubts,
Where can this be called a river, it is not bad to be called a ditch.

Did the ancient people rely on this simple protective measures to protect their homes?
When he came to ancient times, he realized that it wasn't that the ancients were stupid, but that later generations didn't make real moats at all.

The moat is built around the city, but it is not equal in width on all sides.

Because the east city wall is adjacent to Lukou, an important military town in the east of the Yangtze River, the moat on the east side of Gong'an City is
Mi Yang looked at it at a glance, and it must be at least five to sixty meters wide.

Although it is winter now, Jingxiang is in the fresh water season as a whole, so the water in the moat outside the Public Security City is not deep.

But the average depth also reached three meters.

Only this is worthy of the eight characters "Jincheng Tangchi, Deep Ditch and High Fort".

The reason why Mi Yang came here on purpose today, to inspect the moat outside the Public Security City, was Yu Jin's suggestion.

I saw that Yu Jin, who used to be majestic in the past, was squatting on the ground like an old farmer in the country,
He carefully picked up a pinch of loess on the ground, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully.

After sniffing, Yu Jin took another spear and thrust it hard into the ground under his feet a few times.

I saw that under Yu Jin's huge force, the sharp tip of the spear was just barely buried in the ground.

Seeing this scene, Yu Jin, who had awakened his peasant skills, finally had a satisfied smile on his face.

Mi Yang looked at Yu Jin's gesture of planting rice seedlings, Zhang Er couldn't figure it out.

Even if you want to transplant rice seedlings, the season has already passed,

Could it be that this guy hasn't recovered from his madness the day before yesterday?
After finishing everything, Yu Jin came to Mi Yang and said to him,

"The person responsible for expanding the Public Security City is really talented!"

"Dare to ask the master, who was in charge of building this new public security city?"

Yu Jin seemed to admire that man very much, his face was full of admiration.

If someone else might think that the Public Security City was built by Liu Bei,

But Mi Yang's identity is unusual, he knows that Liu Bei just has the idea of ​​rebuilding the Public Security City,

But the person who actually executes and is responsible for the overall construction work,

Actually it was Zhuge Liang.

Seeing that Yu Jin admired the people who presided over the construction of the Public Security City, Mi Yang proudly raised his head and replied,

"It's my teacher, Lord Zhuge of Wolong."

Mi Yang said that Zhuge Liang was his mentor, not a lie.

When Mi Yang was in Chengdu, Liu Bei deeply felt that his eldest son Liu Chan was growing up.

In order to help Liu Chan enrich his wings, and also to make Liu Chan achieve success in his studies,
So Liu Bei appointed several great sages in the world to be Liu Chan's teachers, including Zhuge Liang and Fazheng.

As the second generation of the Yuan Congpai, Mi Yang, Guan Xing, and Zhang Bao, the second generation of Yuan Congpai, were appointed by Liu Bei as attendants of Liu Chan.
In order to study with Liu Chan together.

Under this relationship, after rounding, Zhuge Liang is also considered half of Mi Yang's teacher.

Hearing that the person in charge of building the new public security city was Zhuge Liang, Yu Jin's face showed a sudden look.

It turned out to be him, so no matter how well the Public Security City is built, it is not surprising.

As the number one hero who helped Liu Bei Jinlin transform into a golden dragon, Zhuge Liang's name has long been known to everyone.

But after hearing that Mi Yang was Zhuge Liang's disciple, Yu Jin couldn't help feeling better about Mi Yang.

Yu Jin's face suddenly realized, but the witty Mi Yang discovered one thing, why did Yu Jin praise Zhuge Liang without hesitation after inspecting the moat of Gong'an City for a week?
Is there any secret in it?
Mi Yang is not ashamed to ask, he asks about the ban,

"Is there any ingenuity in the new public security city built by my teacher?"

"I also hope that Wen Zegong will not hesitate to enlighten me."

Hearing that Mi Yang called himself Wen Zegong, Yu Jin was very surprised.
In the past half a month that Mi Yang has been with him, the most polite thing Mi Yang has to do is to address him by his name, but he has never called him a public address once.
Yu Jin looked at Mi Yang with interest,

This kid finally has a pleasing side.

Yu Jin thought that if he couldn't return to the north in the future, then staying under Mi Yang's command would be his best choice.

So the sooner Mi Yang grows up, the better for him.

Out of this kind of thinking, Yu Jin is very willing to be Mi Yang's teacher today,

Yu Jin said to Mi Yang,

"Since ancient times, attacking the mind is the top priority, and attacking the city is the bottom."

"Because of the kindness and trust of the master book the day before yesterday, there is no need to worry about guarding against the enemy's attack."

"The most urgent thing is to prevent the enemy from attacking the city, so as to preemptively attack and make all preparations."

"There are many soldiers in Jiangdong, and Lu Meng is a well-known general for many years. I expect him to take the first step in attacking the city.
It must be to send soldiers to surround the public security city, cut off the inside and outside of the master book, and disrupt the army's morale. "

"The master has a strong city to rely on, if there is a strong attack, the Wu army will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, according to my experience, Lu Meng will first build mountains and camps, and second, he will secretly build tunnels so that he can attack the city. "

"But if you want to prevent Lu Meng from succeeding, all the key lies in the moat."

"The moat is wide, so Lu Meng's actions of digging up mountains and camping hills and raining arrows on the city will greatly reduce the effect."

Mi Yang realized what Yu Jin said after thinking about it.

Building camps and hills, and ordering soldiers to climb high and shoot arrows to kill the defenders of the city wall, this is a common siege method in this era.

But now the moat outside the Public Security City has an average width of more than [-] meters.

Moreover, the moat is 30 meters away from the city wall, which means that even if the Wu army camped beside the moat,
Then you have to shoot arrows towards the city wall at a distance of more than [-] meters.
A step in the Han Dynasty is about 1 meters in modern times, so the length of more than 3 meters is about 50 steps in the Han Dynasty.

In the Han Dynasty when Baibu Chuanyang was known as a sharpshooter, after the enemy's bow and arrow shot more than [-] steps, his lethality had actually been weakened a lot.

Therefore, at the end of the ban, it is said that the efficacy has been greatly reduced.
