Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

As for the emergence of real gunpowder weapons, especially artillery, Huaxia has a special wall structure for artillery, that is, "urn city".

It is mentioned in the masterpiece "Wu Jing Zong Yao" written by Zeng Gongliang, a strategist in the Northern Song Dynasty: "The urn outside the city is either round or square. Depending on the terrain, it is as tall and thick as the city, but there is only one door open. , left and right as they please."

This kind of double city wall and even double city gate structure had rarely appeared in the city structure of China before the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Even in the Song Dynasty, it was only in the northern regimes, such as Jin and Xixia, that this special city wall structure, which was first imitated by the Xiongnu royal city "Tongwan City", was occasionally seen.

Prior to this, the Wengcheng had been "unworthy" to appear in the design of China's top cities like Chang'an and Luoyang because of its irregular shape...

……

It can be seen from this that the wisdom of the ancestors was actually terrifying.

Even though they had never seen a siege weapon like artillery before, after being hit, the Chinese quickly found a way to deal with artillery fire from themselves, from their neighbors, and even from the long history.

In other words, if Zhang Yan used artillery support when he attacked Anyi County today, then when he approached Sishui Pass, he would probably face the city gate of the mound and the urn structure built with temporary city walls inside. .

Then, if you want to take down Sishuiguan, the time you need to pay, or the cost of the lives of soldiers, etc., will far exceed when the artillery first appeared on the scene.

This is the wisdom of a nation and its ability to adapt to changes in the battlefield situation.

……

Looking at the other side of the battlefield, just as Zhang Yan and others were silently arranging a plan to capture Anyi soon and boost the morale of the coalition forces, in the county town of Anyi not far away, an army, are stationed in the city.

The prefect's mansion in the city has long been recruited by the leader of the army, and is now being used as the mansion of the guard.

In this mansion, two burly men were pointing at a map hanging on the wall not far away, talking for some reason.

……

"Li Zhonglang, now Xiangguo ordered us to guard this place, and the coalition forces arriving here dozens of miles to the east, I wonder if Li Zhonglang has any countermeasures?"

In the prefect's mansion, Fan Chou was pointing to a mark on the map not far away, and asked his colleague Li Su loudly.

He is now the chief general Dong Zhuo arranged to resist the allied forces of the Kwantung princes here, from the official to the right general, it can be said that he is in the limelight at the court.

And the Huben Zhonglang General Li Su, who relied on recruiting Lu Bu, was his deputy this time, responsible for leading the Huben Army in Luoyang City to assist him in guarding the city.

Not long ago, Fan Chou learned the news that the Kwantung Allied Forces had arrived here.

In order to be able to guard this place better, he immediately sent someone to call Li Su, planning to discuss a set of tactics with the two of them.

……

As for why not find a special counselor...

……

Ashamed to say, counselors were actually quite valuable in the Eastern Han Dynasty.Among Dong Zhuo's family fortunes, there seemed to be only two counselors who could really make a move.

One of the counselors, Li Ru, who claims to be an exhaustive strategist, is a close minister and even a son-in-law of Dong Zhuo, Prime Minister of the present state.

And the other person, although his status in Dong Zhuo's army is far less noble than Li Ru, but he is also well-known, and he is said to be full of tricks.

This person's name is Jia Xu, and his character is Wenhe. He is from Guzang County, Wuwei County. He joined Dong Zhuo's command at about the same time as Fan Chou. Now he is second only to Li Ru in Dong Zhuo's army.

If such a capable person is here, he will naturally be able to bring a lot of help to Fan Chou and others.

It's just a pity that Li Ru sent this guy to the Sishui Pass area to cooperate with his hero Hua Xiong to jointly guard the pass.

When it was my turn, there was only one Li Su left who could give me advice...

……

As for the counselors of the Bingzhou Department?

Come on, someone like Lu Bu can be the chief bookkeeper in Ding Yuandu's subordinates, manipulating literature and ink, what kind of decent advisers do you expect in the army of the Bingzhou faction?

……

All in all, after losing the support of a lot of resources, Fan Chou can support him in the army now, and the only one left is Li Su, who is not very familiar with him.

Fortunately, although the talents of these two people are not very outstanding, as generals, the two are still very reliable.

At the very least, Fan Chou and his Xiliang soldiers are very reliable, and although Li Su is suspected of being airborne, he is leading the Huben Army in Luoyang City!

As the general of Huben Zhonglang, the three thousand Huben army guarding the imperial city were capable of wrestling with the Forbidden Army of the West Garden head-on.Now that Li Su was going to fight here, he naturally brought his soldiers with him.

There are three thousand guys who are responsible for guarding the imperial city all the year round, not to mention what great cause Fan Chou wants to do, defending the soil and seeking stability, it should not be a big problem.

……

"You don't need to be like this for ten thousand years. Now that the Prime Minister has ordered me to be your deputy general, then you are in charge of the army here, and I and the soldiers under your command also accept your command."

"Despite your formation, we will definitely follow your orders carefully and will not disobey them easily."

……

In front of Fan Chou, Li Su was surprisingly respectful.

He didn't even intend to express his attitude in front of the other party, he just acted like he was following the arrangement.

This is not to say that Li Su knows the overall situation and is rational...

It's just because, as a Zhonglang general who was forcibly promoted by virtue of his merits, although Li Su might not even know how to command an army, compared to generals honed on the battlefield like Fan Chou, his level is terrible. Not a star and a half.

The submissiveness and humbleness shown in front of Fan Chou were, in the final analysis, all Li Su's self-knowledge.

He was a mediocrity, as he had always known himself.

Although he and Lu Bu are from the same hometown, both of them are from Wuyuan County, Jiuyuan County...

But the gap between the people of Wuyuan County is huge.

In terms of personal strength, Li Su is only at the bottom of the third rank.And when it comes to forming troops, he is on par with Fan Chou——

Yes, Fan Chou is also a mediocre person.

If it weren't for the fact that the Kwantung Allied Forces were attacking in five directions, and Dong Zhuojun really couldn't find any manpower, Li Ru wouldn't have let these two get together...

Although these two people have a good attitude and are obedient, and they don't fight for power in the army, but their level is that two people can't get half of their brains together, let alone when facing an invading enemy. Come up with a decent idea and go to resist the coalition forces.

……

"Well, why don't I wait and wait?"

After hesitating for a long time, Fan Chou finally said tentatively:

"I remember that the military advisers once mentioned that when marching and fighting, you should know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles."

"Now that the Kwantung Allied Forces have just arrived here, then we will wait for the time to stand still and find out the reality of the opponent."

"If the coalition forces are strong, we will stick to the city and resist the attack."

"And if the opponent is weak, and the coalition forces are even more vain, if they are vulnerable, I will take the initiative to send troops to attack the opponent's camp."

……

"Li Zhonglang, although our army has a lot of soldiers and horses, the only ones who can be generals are you and me."

"At that time, one person will stay in the city to defend against the enemy, and one person will lead the army to attack."

"What do you think of this method?"

……

Racking his brains and thinking of a way out, Fan Chou hurriedly asked Li Su for his opinion.

This is the first time he has led a team as a general in the army. Before that, he was either the deputy general of Li Que and others, or he was personally commanded by Li Ru, Jia Xu and others...

It's really embarrassing for him to sit in the army and come up with ideas.

Compared to decisive victory thousands of miles away, he is still more suitable for fighting on the battlefield.

If you asked him to kill a hundred heads on the battlefield, Fan Chou wouldn't even frown.But if he was asked to find a way to let his soldiers chop off a hundred enemy soldiers' heads... it would somewhat mean to bully honest people.

……

Of course, if you have to say it, the strategy he has racked his brains to come up with now is not a big problem.

Simple and mediocre.There is neither great merit nor fault.

It's just that in the face of Mi Zhu, Xu Huang, and even Fazheng and Lu Su who are playing with their brains, Fan Chou's "heyday posture" is probably not much different from being completely undefended.

……

Chapter 39 Half and half

"Okay, okay, this method is very good!"

"We will act in accordance with this law!"

After Fan Chou racked his brains to come up with a strategy, Li Su expressed his support almost immediately.

The reason is also very simple... If Fan Chou doesn't know any strategies, can Li Su know it?

Neither will he!

Since everyone is in the same boat, Li Su might as well nod and agree earlier, lest Fan Cong ask him to think of a way out.

At that time, it will not be Fan Chou who will be tormented, but Li Su.

Soon, in a state where the two were half discussing and half chatting, the arrangements for Dong Zhuojun's side for a period of time in the future were determined in this way.

It's just obvious that neither of these two military commanders could have predicted what kind of torture they would suffer in the next ten days...

……

Looking back at the Kwantung Allied Forces, after Zhang Yan made the decision to implement all three strategies, all the princes and their soldiers temporarily settled down.

Before Yang Feng and the others made critical progress, all they needed to do was to stay in the camp every day to train troops, and at the same time assist the Lujiang army to do a good job in the defense of the entire coalition.

The lessons learned from Yuan Shao's side have just passed. They can't be attacked by Dong Zhuojun's camp like Yuan Shao...

Otherwise, if even Zhang Yan's side retreats, the entire Kwantung Allied Forces will not be able to fight for a while.

Fortunately, although there are not many generals on Zhang Yan's side, the number of advisers is still very reliable.

With the help of some strategists, strategies in several directions quickly made some progress.

Among them, the first one to produce results was not Mi Zhu's side, which Zhang Yan was particularly optimistic about, but the strategy given by Lu Su.

……

Three days after the meeting, Yang Feng, the general under Zhang Yan, took Han Xian and the two back to his hometown, Yang County.
