Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 105 The Difficult Linzi

Before Xu He started the incident, Wang Zheng on the other side was also making corresponding preparations.

On the second day after returning to the city, he hastily held a military meeting.

The theme, of course, is Linzi.

Above the lobby of the Guangrao County Government.

It's the gathering of generals.

The original six majors, except for Lu De who was still lurking in Linzi, were naturally all present.

With the addition of four new members, the number of participants finally broke through to double digits.

Zhang Rao: Served as a major, commanding 7000 troops in the original division, which was the fourth division of the Tiangang Army.

Pan Zhang: Served as captain, under the command of Xu Fang.

Yu Jin: Served as a captain, commanded more than 2000 soldiers of Zhang Rao who joined the system before, and formed the Tiangang Army Mountain Division alone.

Since Wang Zheng used fame and fortune to lure Yu Jin's ambition of not wanting to be subordinated to others, naturally he would not give him a position that was too low. Wait for everyone to sit on an equal footing.

At this time, there was only one person on the field talking.

Everyone else was concentrating on listening, including Wang Zheng.

The person who is speaking is named Sun Ting.

He is an ordinary soldier of the Tiangang Army, and one of the people who sneaked into Linzi City with Lu De disguised as a merchant.

When Xu Xuan decided to let Dong Lin, the county lieutenant, send troops to make chaos, Sun Ting and another colleague rushed back and informed Wang Zheng of the relevant information about the officer army.

When the meeting was held today, Wang Zheng specially ordered him to report the situation in Linzi City, which was originally an arrangement that was better than nothing.

After all, the other party has already been to Linzi City, and he has stayed for a few days, so he will know something, right?

In the end, the other party brought him a pleasant surprise.

Wang Zheng suddenly discovered that this Sun Ting is a talent.

It turned out that during those days when Sun Ting was in Linzi, he walked around the streets and alleys when he had nothing to do.

What is even more surprising is that the other party not only has an excellent memory, but also speaks in an orderly manner, and even knows the art of Danqing.

After speaking, he took the initiative to invite a pen and paper, and drew what he had seen and heard into a pattern, and gave it to Wang Zheng and others to watch.

Wang Zheng was surprised and pleased, but also secretly groaned ashamed.

At that time, he was only concerned with letting Lu De and his party pay attention to the movement of the army, but he didn't tell them to do this.

If you don't think carefully, you don't see things far away, so you have to reflect!

It is necessary to reflect deeply!

While deeply reviewing himself, he nodded to Sun Ting again and again, the young man did a good job.

When the picture was passed to Yu Jin, Wang Zheng watched coldly, and found that the expressions of everyone who had seen it before had changed significantly.

The previous few victories came too easily, so most of these people's faces are always impetuous and arrogant.

Even Xu Fang, who has a calm temperament, seems to be a little swayed.

Now, Wang Zheng finally saw the look on their faces before they captured Zhao County.

Nervous, apprehensive, and awe-inspiring.

Kaohsiung was the first to speak this time:
"General, the gap between Linzi County and Zhao County, Guangrao."

"It must be too big."

Since the Wangzheng Rebellion, he has been in charge of the city defense every time the city is captured. After listening to Sun Ting's words and seeing the simple structure diagram, he is the first among the people to feel that Linzi's defense may be very tricky.

Kaohsiung couldn't help being depressed, and complained repeatedly.

"First of all, the watchtowers at the four corners of the city have a wide field of vision and a very far range. If you want to attack Zhao County by surprise."

"It's almost impossible!"

"Besides, the city wall is more than ten meters high. This"

After a pause, Kaohsiung looked at Sun Ting and asked again: "By the way, what material and thickness is the city wall, have you paid attention to it?"

Hearing this, Sun Ting thought for a while and said uncertainly, "It should be built with rammed earth and slabs, solid."

"In terms of thickness, Major Zhigao, the villain should be five or six meters by visual inspection."

"Five or six meters" Kaohsiung shook his head when he heard the words: "You can run a horse."

"There are also archery towers, urn city, horse noodles, etc." Gao Xiong counted on his fingers repeatedly: "General, I'm afraid this will be a tough battle."

"More than that." At this time, after reading the blueprint, Yu Jin took the initiative to add:
"For a state capital like Linzi, the defense equipment is comprehensive, and it is by no means comparable to other counties."

Following Yu Jin's eloquent talk, fresh words jumped into everyone's ears one after another, which made them gain a lot of insight.

Iron caltrops, the sharp corners are all over the outside of the city, if you step on it, you will be seriously injured and lose your mobility.

Hearing Yu Jin's description, Wang Zheng felt that this was simply an ancient version of a landmine.

Juma stakes are cross-fixed wooden columns to form a shelf, and the shelf is inlaid with blades and thorns.

A sharp weapon for blocking doors, which can greatly prevent and delay the attack of the attacking party.

The most tingling thing is the last one.

bed crossbow.

After listening to Sun Ting's description, Yu Jin said its name and its power!
The arrows shot by this bed crossbow are as huge as a javelin, and the shooting range has reached more than 700 meters. In addition to firing a single giant arrow, it can even fire a volley of dozens of arrows at once.

The only problem is that the accuracy is not very high.

Yu Jin's last sentence did not relieve the pressure of everyone at all.

Especially Zhang Rao's face turned pale after hearing this, as if he had suffered a big loss from this thing.

"That's all." Wang Zheng looked at the crowd and said solemnly:

"The most troublesome thing is probably the moat of Linzi City."

Linzi is adjacent to the Zihe River in the east and Xishui in the west.

It can be said that the east and west walls were built on the basis of the two river banks.

The Zihe River and the Xishui River have also become two natural moats.

The rulers of Linzi in the past dynasties dug and built artificial moats outside the south and north city walls to communicate with the water of the Zihe River, forming an external drainage and moat network surrounded by clear water.

"General, that's true." Sun Ting took the initiative at this time: "The villain also noticed this at the time. The width of the moat is more than ten meters."

As soon as these words came out, most people almost gasped.

Ten meters.
How much soil is needed, and how much time is needed to fill this moat.

Thinking of this section, almost everyone's face showed seriousness.

Even Yu Jin changed color a little.

He had conquered the big city before, and he also encountered the trouble of the moat.

But it was the first time he encountered a moat as wide as Linzi.

Xu Fang, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help looking at Wang Zheng with admiration, and said:
"Has the general been to Linzi?
"Otherwise, it is really prescient to choose to return when you are in Zijing Mountain."

"If we don't make preparations, the existence of this natural moat will cause us a lot of headaches!"

"I didn't have enough food before, so I don't have the strength to travel far." Wang Zheng waved his hand and said:
"Although I have never been to Linzi, I have never treated it as an ordinary county."

"As Captain Yu said, this is the real capital of a state, the best place, how could it be a bone to chew?"

In fact, when he heard the last information about the moat, Wang Zheng's inner feelings were different.

He actually breathed a sigh of relief.

so far so good.

Only ten meters wide.

　The range of the bed crossbow could not be found in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It seems that the farthest in the Song Dynasty was 1800 meters. Here it is estimated to be 700 meters.
