Looking at this situation, although the Yellow Turban Army may not be able to attack for the time being, the Han Army cannot sit idle and do nothing, just wait for the Yellow Turbans to invade.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and the chance of victory can only be gained by saving one's own time. Therefore, during this period, even though the Yellow Turbans did not commit the crime, Chen Liucheng did not relax at all.
Repairing the city wall and storing enough rolling wood and radium stones are all necessary daily tasks for the Han army in the city. These are the most basic guarantees for the Han army to resist the Yellow Turbans in the future. Naturally, Li Xiang and others cannot help but do their best.
Of course, building defensive equipment is also essential. In the early days of the Jizhou War, Lu Zhi suffered a lot from the Yellow Turban Army's catapults. Therefore, this time the Han army mobilized many craftsmen to build catapults. It's just that
The manufacture of this catapult is a delicate job. No matter how impatient Lu Zhi and Li Xiang are, if the output cannot increase, it will not increase.
In addition to catapults, Li Xiang also specially ordered people to build a part of the gate-locking knife cart as a backup. Previously in Jizhou, the Yellow Turbans had already suffered a lot of losses from Li Xiang. The Yellow Turbans were not without capable people, and they suffered the same losses.
As for eating it twice.
Therefore, I am afraid that the previous tactics will not be effective if used again. I am afraid that this time I will have to be head-on, and I may not be able to find opportunities to use any tricks. Besides, it is impossible to use any conspiracy in a war of this scale.
Not realistic.
The gate-blocking knife cart is a defensive instrument used to block the city when the city gate is breached. There are 24 steel knives on the front knife wall. When used, the cart can be pushed to the gap of the city gate, which can not only kill the enemy, but also block the enemy.
The enemy's arrows and rocks make it difficult for the opponent to climb and form a barrier to movement.
The knife cart is an extremely strong two-wheeled cart. The cart body is almost the same width as the city gate, usually between three and four feet. There are three or four layers of wooden frames in front of the cart, with a number of sharp knives fixed on each floor.
There was a long shaft, but the enemy broke through the city gate, and dozens and hundreds of soldiers pushed swords and carts to block the city gate.
The article records the use of this gate-blocking knife cart. For a long-term and fierce battle to defend the city, the city gate cannot be lost even once, so the gate-blocking knife cart is the most useful emergency weapon.
Moreover, the gate-blocking knife cart is not only a powerful weapon for guarding the city gate, but it is also useful for street fighting. If the Yellow Turbans are really lucky enough to break through the city gate, then this gate-blocking knife cart is one of the surprises Li Xiang has prepared for the Yellow Turbans.
one.
During this period, Li Xiang and the others were not only busy building defense equipment and repairing the city walls, they also had a lot of discussions with other generals in the army.
On the one hand, it was to combine work and rest and relieve the tense atmosphere of the Han army in Chenliu City. On the other hand, it was to boost the morale of the army before the war. After all, isn't that what the role of a strong general in the cold weapon era was.
Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. Naturally, these Yanzhou generals are very envious of the great reputation Xing Tian and others gained in the Battle of Jizhou. Therefore, this competition between these Yanzhou generals is also
He might have thought of using the generals of the Jizhou clan as stepping stones to become famous.
You know, Xing Tian is now known as the most powerful general in the Han Dynasty, and many people even think that Xing Tian is a strong competitor for the best general in the world in the future. In the eyes of these generals, if they can defeat Xing Tian, then
The title of the most powerful general in the Han Dynasty, or even the most powerful general in the world, doesn't belong to them.
As for the title of the most powerful general in the world, as a general, how many people can be exempted from it. What's more, each of them is quite confident in their own martial arts. In their opinion, even if they are defeated by Xingtian, they will not be able to defeat each other.
How much difference can there be between them?
Thinking of this, the generals who wanted to challenge Xing Tian felt hot in their hearts, and looked at Xing Tian with slightly evil eyes.
Of course, the only ones present who thought they could defeat Xing Tian were those generals from the Yanzhou faction who had never seen Xing Tian take action. The generals from the Jizhou faction had fought side by side with Xing Tian before, so naturally they would not have such unrealistic expectations.
idea.
Even Jizhou generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei want to challenge Xing Tian, and they just want to take the opportunity to fight against masters to continuously improve and hone themselves. Although they are confident that their martial arts will not stop here, they still
I wouldn't be so ignorant that I think I can defeat Xing Tian now.
In ancient times, if a general wanted to go from obscurity to fame, besides fighting battle after battle until he established his reputation, the fastest way was to find a strong enough opponent as a stepping stone.
However, unfortunately, these Yanzhou generals obviously made the wrong decision this time. This is a stepping stone that they will never be able to cross in their lifetime.
However, they obviously didn't lose their minds all of a sudden and completely lost their sense. They also knew that they would first compete with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals as a test.
However, if you don't fight, you won't know. After a few battles, the hearts of the generals in Yanzhou immediately became cold and cold.
First, the four generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Zu Mao fought Zhang Fei in turns, but even in a wheel battle, no one could survive Zhang Fei's hands.
Of course, the younger brother suffered a loss, and the elder brother had a hard time in terms of face. He always had to find his way back. When Sun Jian saw that the younger brothers were all defeated so miserably, he immediately couldn't sit still.
But Zhang Fei has fought four times in a row, and Sun Jian also wants to save face, so he will naturally not challenge Zhang Fei again. Therefore, Guan Yu naturally becomes Sun Jian's first choice for challenge. But Guan Yu's first three swords are not so easy to resist.
, Sun Jian is one of those slow-warming Guangwu generals. Although he tried his best to block Guan Yu's first two swords, he was still defeated by the third sword.
Later, whether the Xiahou brothers challenged Yan Liang Wen Chou, or the generals of the Cao family challenged generals such as Tai Shi Ci and Xue Ju, they all got off to a bad start. The only difference was the length of time they persisted. The weaker Cao Ren only persisted for about ten rounds, while the stronger Cao Ren
Some Xiahou brothers persisted for seventy or eighty years before deciding the winner.
At this point in the battle, these Yanzhou generals naturally understood their position. Now they can't even defeat a few others, so how can they defeat Xingtian. Thinking that they themselves had the intention of defeating Xingtian before, these
The generals' faces also turned slightly red.
However, after fighting until now, these generals will naturally not give up just like this. Although they no longer fantasize about defeating Xingtian again, they still want to see how big the gap is between them and Xingtian.
Xing Tian is still somewhat interested in the challenge of these people. After all, the quality of these generals is good. Although it is not enough for Xing Tian to fully enjoy, it is more than enough to warm up.
