New Wagang

Chapter 236 Final Preparations
Wagang.

The starry sky is dotted with cool breeze.

The climate in the early spring is still a little bit chilly.

Yuwenba stood in the viewing pavilion, let the wind blow and the night shroud, and the mosquito bites.

It's like being in a trance, just watching like that.

Wagang City was completely silent, only the sergeant patrolling the streets holding up torches gave some vitality, making people realize that this is not a dead city, but the most affluent city in the Sui Dynasty today!
Can I protect all this?

Will blood flow here tomorrow or some day?
It is now late at night, and most of the people in the city are asleep. The news from the visiting camp indicates that the Ridengzhou Army and the Shandong Army will start to attack the city. The leaders and soldiers are all preparing for battle in the city tonight. It will be a sleepless night. In other words, will tonight be the last night for the people to sleep peacefully?
Suddenly, Yuwenba thought of the night before the attack on Wagang, he seemed to be standing on the highest point of Xiaodang Mountain looking at the mountains and fields, how similar to today's situation.

However, in Xiaodang Mountain, it is the expectation of whether the troops will be sent out tomorrow, but at this time, it is about whether the enemy's siege of Jindi and Wagang can be held tomorrow?
Can you win in the end.

At this moment, Yuwenba really didn't have much confidence, but before this, Yuwenba had already done everything he could do!
"It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. See you on the battlefield tomorrow." Yuwenba let out a deep breath, and finally looked at the silent city, turned and went down the mountain.

The three Lei brothers behind thought that Yuwenba was going back to the house. When they saw that Yuwenba was going to the city, they immediately became nervous. When they left the barracks, the horses of the three brothers moved back and forth, left and right in turn, and always surrounded Yuwenba. Progressing in the middle, I have to say that the Lei brothers' small corner array is getting more and more proficient.

Yuwenba did not blame the Lei brothers for their caution.

Needless to say, there must be members of the Tianshogunate in Wagang City at this moment, and it is really uncertain whether there will be an order to assassinate him. Yuwenba speculates that the possibility can only be said to be unlikely. After all, it was the first time that Wagang confronted the court soldiers head-on, so it wouldn't be a direct use of beheading, would it?

I did annoy Mr. Yang, but I believe it is not enough to make Mr. Yang hate him so much. After all, I still know a lot about Yuwenba, Mr. Yang, and he can almost be aboveboard with his opponents.

I saw that he didn't seem to have used any beheading actions against those anti-kings, he just sailed carefully, hehe.

Perhaps it was the feeling of galloping on the horse that made Yuwenba relax a little.

The four riders went straight to the east gate in the city, and met a group of soldiers patrolling the city, Boss Lei immediately recruited this group of troops to follow behind, Yu Wenba personally guarded the four brothers of the Lei family, and everyone in the army now knows that Everyone knows about its existence, after all, Yuwenba is often active in the army, and the four of them are almost inseparable.

It was still difficult to recognize Yuwenba in the night, but the number of Lei brothers could be distinguished at a glance. Yuwenba didn't say a word, which was acquiescing that the sergeant followed, and he sped up his galloping speed.

Wagang is different from other villages in that there are only two gates, east and west, so it is relatively easy to defend, and because of the flooding of the Yellow River, the surrounding sand dunes are undulating, bushes are overgrown, and there are countless reed marshes. In terms of arrangements, the people of Wagang also settled in villages a little farther away from the city.

Nearby villages such as Zhoudao Village in the west, Chishui Village in the south, Dacao Village in the north, and Mengzhuang Village in the east did not have any new immigrants, and they even moved to Tiehuazhai Daniu Village, which is farther away. After a while, Yuwenba just thought that in the future, the imperial court soldiers and horses would come and make the people farther away and suffer less suffering.

So before this, except for the two city gates, all kinds of traps have already been covered elsewhere, and as Xu Shiji said before, countless barbed thorns and thorns were scattered in the reeds and bushes, and they have already made complete preparations.

But even so, Yuwenba still stationed sergeants patrolling the city walls in these places, but they were relatively rare. If they found that there was an enemy situation and sounded their horns, the soldiers and horses stationed at the two city gates could immediately support them, which reduced the number of troops to a certain extent. The selection range of the enemy's breakthrough also reduces the difficulty of some Wagang defenses.

On the top of the east gate, Wang Qing, Duan Da and Li Chenglong saw Yuwenba late at night and rushed to greet him. Yuwenba first asked Li Chenglong about the situation in detail, and then he took the hands of his two old friends.

The leaders of the cottage all went to Jindi, and the two who had been engaged in logistics for a long time also went to the top of the city at this time. Looking at the two who hadn't worn armor for a long time, Yu Wenba sighed deeply, and slapped hard Patted the shoulders of the two, but never said a word.

The two of them knew Yuwenba's temperament well, and they held his brother's hand tightly without words at the moment, all the friendship and trust were in the air.

Yuwenba talked with the three of them again, asking and admonishing them, and then Li Chenglong led them to check all kinds of defensive equipment on the tower. The soldiers on the tower were very excited to see Yuwenba in person.

Yuwenba stepped forward to pat this one on the shoulder, tidied up the armor for that sergeant, and talked to the other one. This extremely ordinary behavior boosted the morale of each sergeant, and made Li Chenglong's eyes envious of the following soldier. Morale can still be boosted like this!
"Are there any defensive devices besides the east and west towers?" Yu Wenba asked.

"But there is no heavy equipment like the rolling stone machine and mine sprayer, but there are continuous crossbows every ten steps." Li Chenglong pointed to the continuous crossbows placed behind the distant city wall while speaking and said: "The sergeants should concentrate more For the east and west towers, in order to prevent the enemy from bypassing the two towers and attacking the city in the middle, as long as the garrison sergeant finds that the situation is different, the sergeant who sounds the horn and quickly makes up for it can immediately use the crossbow to block and gain time. Carry the other equipment over there for defense, and have done drills according to my brother's instructions before, brother, please rest assured that everything is correct!"

Yuwenba nodded upon hearing this.

The rolling stone machine and the mine spraying machine are all figured out by myself. That is to say, when the soldiers on the tower were suppressed by their archers and long arrows when they attacked Wagang last time, almost every time they threw stones or kerosene bottles, they would pay a life. The price, so Yuwenba thought it would be better to get a machine out.

The equipment is placed behind the battlements, and each time a stone is thrown, the sergeant directly puts a stone or a kerosene bottle on the thrower, and then pulls the engine and the thrower will throw the thing out of the city wall, so that the sergeant on the tower is completely Don't be fooled.

The machine can adjust the throwing distance. There is a watchtower on the city tower, and [-] bosses are deployed to watch the advancing speed of the enemy outside the city, so as to adjust the distance of throwing things at any time, so as not to do useless work.

If it is possible, it is better to find a way to replace the wood under the iron sheet with all iron, but I am not born in a professional class, so I just made these based on some knowledge of later generations.

take it easy.
