Chapter 49 Mao Wenlong's Appreciation and Commitment
Regardless of whether Mao Wenlong can change him, it is beneficial and harmless to offer strategies. At worst, it will be the same as before, but Mao Wenlong has to remember him, okay?
Guo Dajing is not simple!
Liu Xingzuo laughed, he was really an interesting guy. He looked dull and honest, and he was desperate to kill the enemy, but he was still very smart.
There is potential and a future.
Liu Xingzuo believed that if Guo Dajing grew up, the so-called generals of the Dongjiang Army, such as Zhang Tao, Shang Kexi, Li Weiluan, Mao Yongshi, etc., would all be overshadowed by his light.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that Liu Xingzuo was not close to these people, but he had an excellent impression of Guo Dajing.
Liu Xingzuo thought for a long time and felt that his speech was enough, so he got up, packed up, and walked out.
At this time, outside the wounded barracks in Pidao, Guo Dajing was still beside Mao Wenlong, accepting questioning.
"If Yizhou can blow up the city wall, can other cities also?" Mao Wenlong walked forward leisurely with his hands behind his back.
Guo Dajing wanted to listen to the questions and answer the questions, so he was very close. Others also deliberately slowed down their pace, and unknowingly he was already the first person behind Mao Wenlong.
But no one cared about this. They all saw that Mao Wenlong admired this young man, and Guo Dajing had indeed made contributions. From the principle of military management with clear rewards and punishments, it was completely justified.
Therefore, the generals believe that Mao Shuai has a very good impression of Guo Xiaoqi, well, now he is Guo Baihu. After this war, he is likely to be promoted and reused.
Guo Dajing thought for a while and then said: "There are some restrictions on bombing a city. It depends on the specific city and can only be determined after reconnaissance. For example, the soil quality and underground water under the city wall."
After a pause, he added or explained: "As a poor boy, I once dug out black charcoal and have some experience in digging holes and digging soil. No matter what the city is, as long as it can be dug under the city wall and filled with enough gunpowder, it can be done."
It can explode."
What's up? You're smart. I'm a coal digger, so that makes sense. Not only have I mined coal, but I've also hunted, and I've also done whatever else, from all walks of life, to make a living. Anyway, I'll write some in the future.
Mao Wenlong's eyes lit up and he understood completely. Bombing the city did not require a hollow city wall, but digging holes under the city wall to charge with explosives and then bombing.
This is another improvement of the city siege method. In ancient times, it was called the hole attack technique. It also involves digging holes and digging soil. After reaching the city wall, the foundation is hollowed out and supported by standing timber. Then it is set on fire, the standing timber is burned, and the wall collapses.
But this method is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive. Do you think that if the wall foundation is hollowed out, then the amount of work can be reduced? Moreover, it is more dangerous. If it fails, it will collapse in advance and people will be buried inside.
"I see." Mao Wenlong stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "In this way, most cities can be exploded, but it is more time-consuming."
With the Dongjiang Army's combat power, it is not easy to surround the city for a long time. Because Jianlu is not a dead man, he will send troops to support the rescue.
It will take at least three to five days to dig a tunnel to blow up a city. If the soil is complex, it will take even longer.
For example, if we want to blow up a city now, it is very difficult to just dig out about two meters of frozen soil.
In short, it would be difficult for the Dongjiang Army to besiege a city for seven to eight days or more than ten days and carry out tunnel excavation and blasting safely.
Guo Dajing also agreed with this. Just like Yizhou, if it were not for opportunism, how could it be possible to break the city overnight? The siege does not take long. In three to five days, the captives from Liaodong and North Korea will come to reinforce it.
"Actually, if you want to blow up the city, you can also use caltrops, clay bombs or landmines." After Guo Dajing finished speaking, he saw Mao Wenlong pause for a moment, and then continued: "Just cut a hole in the city wall, plug it with mines, and the big
Yes, if you blow it up a few more times, the city wall will collapse."
This is relatively high-tech, not tunnel blasting, but external blasting. You can see it in the movies, when explosive bags are placed next to the bunker and explode.
However, due to the characteristics of black powder, it must be subject to external constraints before it can explode. Therefore, landmines or similar explosives must be used.
City digging was also an ancient method of siege, and was used in conjunction with a siege vehicle with wheels that looked like a small pointed house.
Of course, this method is less effective and more dangerous, as it requires risking the enemy's arrows on the city. But on the other hand, the casualties are much smaller than the ladder-climbing ants attacking the city.
"Iron-cased mines are the best." Guo Dajing added, "The harder you hold it in, the harder it explodes."
Mao Wenlong stopped and squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was imagining the scene of bombing the city like this. First there was a small hole, and then it exploded bigger and bigger, and finally the city wall collapsed, forming a slope or gap.
"Dajing." Mao Wenlong turned his head, looked at Guo Dajing, changed his title, and asked: "How did you come up with this?"
Guo Dajing said without hesitation or hesitation: "When I saw the tribulus pottery bombs on Longchuan City, I thought of firecrackers, so I tried it a few times. If the gunpowder is scattered, it will burn and produce sparks; if it is wrapped in paper, it will be firecrackers."
It exploded with a bang."
Grinning twice, Guo Dajing continued: "When I was young, I loved to speculate. I felt that gunpowder had to be held in before it could explode. The harder I held it in, the louder the explosion would be."
Seeing Guo Dajing's honest and honest smile, Mao Wenlong's scrutinizing eyes turned into smiles. He reached out and patted Guo Dajing's arm and praised: "I love to think well. The more I use my brain, the more active it becomes. Very good, you are very good."
What are you talking about? I am a good person, a very good person, a very good person.
Guo Dajing smiled more honestly, and Mao Wenlong also looked at the young man in front of him smiling. One old and one young, this scene was really weird.
"After this battle, I will give you an island to garrison." Mao Wenlong made up his mind and said: "Remember, you must live well. I heard Vice General Chen and Zhang Pan say that you kill Jianlu regardless of life or death. You must
You know, the time to kill Jianlu will be long, so there is no need to rush."
"Thank you, Marshal, for your concern." Guo Dajing bowed to express his thanks.
Mao Wenlong nodded, with a look of relief on his face, waved his hand and said, "You are tired from running around for days. You just landed on the island today, so please go down and rest."
"Yes, please excuse me."
"It's not a junior general, it's a junior general or a lowly position." Mao Wenlong reminded with a smile, turned to the generals not far away and said loudly: "Follow me to the camp, and we will have a military meeting immediately."
"Yes!" the generals responded and followed Mao Wenlong, who turned around and strode away.
Guo Dajing stood bowed and watched Mao Wenlong and others pass by.
Chen Jisheng patted Guo Dajing, nodded with a smile, and walked over; Zhang Pan also patted Guo Dajing and smiled happily; Shang Kexi also patted and smiled. Do we know each other well?
Also, who are this guy and that guy? I didn’t take a picture. What does it mean to smile and nod?
Guo Dajing kept a simple and honest smile on his face, but he was complaining in his heart.
