Chapter 43 Magical Calculations!
In the more than 100-year history of Wei'anburg, although the strategic position of the moat is important, it is definitely not as important as it is now.
This is because Lu Xu built a hydraulic workshop based on the hydraulic power brought by the moat. It is these workshops that brought high-yield and high-quality weapons and equipment to Lu Xu.
The existence of these equipment is exactly the confidence that the people from Wei'anbao can still ignore Zhao Feiyi's threat.
If the hydraulic supply of Vianburg is cut off, Vianburg's military advantage will no longer exist. And the number of new equipment is insufficient, at least not enough to change the situation of the battle, and then Vianburg will be in danger.
Zhao Feiyi turned his war with Wei'anbao into a personal grudge between him and Lu Xu. Isn't the purpose of dismantling Wei'anbao from within?
When there is no problem with the moat in Vianburg, his sow discord will not have much effect, but once the moat is cut off, the people of Vianburg will shake their predictions of the prospects of the war.
When that time comes, maybe someone will really give Lu Xu's head to Zhao Feiyi.
Although everyone still didn't believe that Zhao Feiyi had a way to cut off their moat, Lu Xu insisted on everyone to split their energy to protect their moat, and they could only do so. After all, Lu Xu was right, the moat was indeed their fatal hole, and it was always right to try his best to protect his fatal hole.
After everyone left, Wen Yueqi walked to Lu Xu and said, "You can go home today."
Lu Xu thought about it. Although he and Wen Yueqi actually had no relationship. But everyone in Wei'anbao knew that Lu Xu and Wen Yueqi had a very good relationship, so it was really hard to say whether Zhao Feiyi would attack Wen Yueqi?
So Lu Xu nodded and went home with Wen Yueqi in the evening.
After waiting for Taoism, Wen Yueqi said, "The reason why you are so persistent in protecting the moat is because you are worried that there will be traitors here, right?"
Lu Xu said: "I'm not worried, I'm sure! I, Wei'an Fort, just recovered a little bit of energy, and Zhao Feiyi brought so many people to attack the city, and he also recognized that the team officer was me. If I say that he had not obtained information from us, I would not believe it."
"But I just tried it. He didn't know the Eagle Bow, he just thought it was an ordinary strong bow. It seems that it was not that convenient for him to obtain information. Of course, it was also possible that I had successfully calmed down those restless people before killing the chicken to warn the monkey."
Previously, Lu Xu's subordinate had a man who informed Jiang Zhengcheng, but the man was later engaged in military law by Lu Xu in front of everyone. That incident made everyone realize that being a traitor in Lu Xu is tantamount to seeking death, and Lu Xu's anti-espionage awareness and ability are good, which has also made Lu Xu feel much more worried recently.
Lu Xu believes that it is precisely because of this reason that Zhao Feiyi failed to obtain the latest information.
Speaking of this, Lu Xu smiled softly: "But I'm not very worried about this. It would be fine if he doesn't move my moat. If he moves my moat, he will be really dead!"
Wen Yueqi felt a little relieved when she heard Lu Xu's promise. That night, Lu Xu was still sleeping on the table.
Perhaps because of Zhao Feiyi, a powerful external threat, neither Lu Xu nor Wen Yueqi were intent on caring about the awkwardness among them.
But this does not mean that they can have a good sleep. Although Lu Xu did not do the confrontation with Zhao Feiyi at the beginning. But what kind of person is Zhao Feiyi? Lu Xu can see clearly from his memory that such an opponent with no bottom line and superb skills will feel very aggravated unless his strength has an absolute advantage, no matter who faces him, he will feel very aggravated.
However, that's all the threat Zhao Feiyi had to do to Lu Xu, and he could not disturb Lu Xu's sleep.
The next morning, Lu Xu asked Niu Er to take his people to patrol his moat as planned.
This time Niu Er took away a total of twenty brothers, and the twenty people were holding eagle bows and horse-slashing sabers.
Not only that, in order to deal with this battle, Lu Xu also made a batch of armor for them.
Because time is too tight, the armor on these people is just cloth armor.
Cloth-surface armor is also called a garment. It is a kind of clothing that sews iron sheets (steel sheets) into the top, thus making it a kind of clothing that looks like cloth clothes on the outside but actually has armor leaves on the inside.
There are two names for this kind of armor because both the East and the West have evolved this kind of armor in their respective armor evolution history, so they are also named.
Westerners challenge this kind of armor, which is usually low-level armor worn by the entourages of the knights in the Middle Ages. Their armored armor and armor leaves are adjacent to each other, but they do not overlap, so their defense is weak.
Orientals called it cloth armor or dark armor based on their characteristics of "cloth-surface iron armor". The characteristic of Eastern cloth armor is that the edges of the armor leaves overlap each other, further enhancing the defense of the cloth armor. This armor was the main battle armor of the official army of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was one of the most effective defense methods for early muskets.
The cloth armor used by Lu Xu is similar to the Ming army's style, but it only enhances the defense of the chest, abdomen and back.
For the bandits, such equipment can be said to be armed to the teeth.
Lu Xu had no choice. His military literacy was really not very good. These people were nominally regular soldiers, but in fact most of them were farmers who had just put down their hoes.
Moreover, even after they became officers and soldiers, their two commanders did not take them to conduct too much military training due to special circumstances, but instead focused on catching production.
As their chief, when they don’t take them to train and let others go up and fight to the death, Lu Xu naturally has to prepare the equipment for them.
But!
Because of the characteristics of cloth armor, outsiders do not know that these people have been armed to their teeth.
So naturally, those who are not afraid of death come to die!
Niu Erben thought that Lu Xu sent him to inspect river defense was just a waste of time. He still doesn't want to believe that Zhao Feiyi would really attack river defense.
However, just as they walked around and were preparing to return, they were suddenly attacked!
Before being attacked, Niu Er and his brothers were already resentful. After all, they were patrolling the mountain with full arms. This heavy pressure was a torture to their physical strength and will.
Niu Er is a martial artist at least, and his condition is better, so the other brothers can't stand it.
Seeing that everyone was working so hard, Niu Er could only say one thing: "Brothers insist on perseverance. We are now walking the road down the mountain. Isn't this much easier than when we went up the mountain?"
As soon as Niu Er finished speaking, before others could complain that Niu Er's words were useless, he heard a loud roar in the mountains and forests: "Kill!"
