PFC Chapter 158 A trick!
Chapter 158 A trick!
Zhao Yue on the side spoke, interrupting everyone.
"Brother Lin, you don't know something. Building a city wall is not as easy as you think. To form an effective defense, the wall of Wengcheng must be the same height as Fangcheng's wall. And Fangcheng's wall is eight meters long. If you want to build it to the same height, Building the city wall requires a lot of time, and the enemy cannot give us this time. Moreover, there are not enough bluestone bricks, rammed earth and other materials in the city for us to build the city wall."
Zhao Yue is a rational analyst. These words brought everyone's mood to the bottom. What he said was true, the enemy would not give them enough time to build another wall.
If this method doesn't work, then they can only hold on and wait for the enemy to reveal their flaws.
But facing the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, how likely are they to be able to defend?
Jianfeng also sighed.
Lin Xiaofan's strategy is indeed good. If God knew this strategy earlier, Fangcheng's defense would be greatly improved. But now, it's too late.
"I can build an indestructible city wall without the need for bluestone bricks or rammed earth."
Lin Xiaofan said with confidence on his face.
This sentence immediately aroused everyone's doubts.
Not using rammed earth and bluestone bricks as city walls?
"Brother Lin, if we use other materials, either the cost will be too high and the gain will outweigh the losses. Or it will be vulnerable."
Zhao Yue has been a general for decades and knows all these very well.
Jianfeng also agreed with Zhao Yue in his heart. After all, other than rammed earth and stone bricks, he really couldn't think of anything else to use to build a city wall. Use soil? Then the opponent will fall down with a push, and the siege truck and other things will be saved. Use snow? That's worse than dirt. Use stones? Putting aside the issue of stability, how can we build irregular stones to a height of seven or eight meters?
"Brother Lin, although I admire your previous strategy of suspecting soldiers, I really can't believe it when you say that you can create an impenetrable city wall out of thin air."
"Brother Lin, we have tried almost all materials. Except for the city walls made of rammed earth and bluestone bricks, the rest have various defects."
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Lin Xiaofan said:
"You all come with me."
They walked all the way to the inner courtyard, where the snow was swept away and the earth was exposed. Lin Xiaofan took out some soil and piled it up.
Without making everyone wait for too long, a small mound was ready.
Everyone was a little confused and even thought Lin Xiaofan was being stupid.
Don’t you want to use soil to make a wall? In that case, let’s not talk about whether it can be built up to seven or eight meters high. I guess a group of people on the other side can push it down, right?
But it’s impossible for Lin Xiaofan not to understand such a simple truth!
Later, Lin Xiaofan went to get some water and poured it on the mound.
Due to the continuous heavy snow, the temperature has dropped to extremely low levels. When the water comes into contact with the mound, it quickly turns to ice.
"Where did this come from?"
"can't read."
"Why do you pour water on the sand and mud? You can't survive in such a cold weather."
Many generals looked confused, but Jianfeng was the only one who understood a little bit more.
Jianfeng walked to the side of the mound and pushed it, but did not knock it down directly. Then he gradually increased his strength, and after a long time, he finally pushed the mound of soil away.
Everyone froze in place. Although they don't know much, they are not stupid and have already seen the mystery behind it.
The soil does fall over when pushed, but what if water is poured on the soil and forms an ice wall?
Think about the hardness of ice. If you make a wall out of it, how would you break it?
You must know that ice is not only hard, but also very smooth. It can also protect against damage from bows and arrows.
"General Zhao Yue, I wonder if the city wall made using my method will be strong enough?"
Lin Xiaofan smiled softly and asked.
"Brother Lin, this is a wonderful plan! I admire it!"
Zhao Yue spoke with excitement.
If this is really used to build a city wall and form the so-called urn city, it will be greatly difficult for the coalition forces to break the city. Anyway, if he were allowed to attack, he would be in a strong position for a long time.
"Use ice to make city walls to protect against foreign enemies. Everyone knows that ice is very hard. However, for thousands of years, no one has thought of using ice to make city walls."
Fengsheng also murmured in a low voice, reflecting on himself. He considers himself to be extremely intelligent. From childhood to adulthood, he has been very good at adapting to whatever he does and drawing inferences from one example. But he had never thought of such a simple thing.
"This this……"
As for the many generals behind him, they were so shocked that they were speechless.
"Brother Lin, I really admire your brains. Generals, listen to your orders and gather the people and soldiers now to build an ice city out of ice as Brother Lin said."
……
Union camp.
All the coalition soldiers were hiding in the tents. Those who occasionally came out to move around would tighten their clothes and move quickly.
It was so cold that day that the tent could not completely withstand the cold wind.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, many generals looked a little ugly.
In the last battle, they were defeated miserably. Two hundred thousand people besieged thousands of people. In the end, the general was beaten to the point of dying, four generals were beheaded, and tens of thousands of people died. In the end, the sword was not saved.
"General, we've found out. Those hundreds of thousands of troops are just ordinary people in disguise. There are only two to thirty thousand real soldiers among them."
A man dressed as a personal guard walked into the camp and broke the silence.
"Damn it, this sword actually fooled us!"
Wang Quan hammered the table hard, and spider-like cracks appeared on the table. It was dark at the time, and he was a little panicked, so he didn't pay attention to the investigation and just led the people away.
Just a little bit closer! He almost killed Jianfeng! Once Jianfeng dies, Qingzhou will surely win!
"Cough cough..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed hard several times, and bright red blood sprayed onto the table.
"General Wang, please don't get angry!"
A counselor named Hu Bo hurriedly stepped forward to help him and handed him a handkerchief.
The shortness of breath, combined with the severe cold, made him sick. The doctor prescribed medicine to stabilize the condition, and told him that as long as he didn't get angry, he would be able to recover soon.
But when Wang Quan learned that he was being played by Jian Feng again, he immediately became angry again, causing him to cough up blood.
"General Wang, please listen to my detailed analysis. This matter is beneficial to us! These hundreds of thousands of reinforcements are fake. Qingzhou only has about [-] troops. We have hundreds of thousands of troops and want to break through Fangcheng. , it’s just a matter of time.”
Hu Bo eagerly stated the pros and cons, and Wang Quan gradually calmed down.
Now that he has hundreds of thousands of troops pressing down on the border, it will be a matter of time before Fangcheng is captured. Unfortunately, he missed this opportunity to kill Jianfeng.
But think about it, if Jianfeng survives, he will definitely achieve higher achievements in the future, which will make him even more powerful, which is not a bad thing. As for whether the territory of Daliang Kingdom will be conquered in the future, this will give the emperor a headache. Anyway, he has no children and only a few years to live.
"Brother Hu Bo makes sense. In this way, the whole army will rest for a day, and we will attack again tomorrow."
King Quan adjusted his condition and issued military orders.
