There are one hill and eight buildings in the Northern Prefecture of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Chapter 4533: The flames of war spread across the river bank
Chapter 4533: The flames of war spread across the river bank
The corners of Liu Zunlong's mouth twitched slightly and his eyes widened: "I don't think I can say that the enemy has invaded the camp and can't even light a beacon tower. I will light it for you now. Who's coming?
, prepare to report peace."
Behind him, several sergeants ran out quickly, while Liu Zunlong tossed his shirt angrily, turned around and ran towards the beacon tower. Lin Zihao and Li Lang looked at each other and followed quickly.
The beacon tower is in the middle of the entire camp. It is slightly taller than the surrounding arrow towers. It is a stone platform about three feet square. Three bundles of firewood were quickly carried to the beacon tower by several guards, and this
Liu Zunlong was holding a blazing torch and stood in front of the firewood pile. He looked at Lin Zihao who walked up to the stage and said with a smile: "Captain Lin, from the time we separated just now to now, it has been about half an hour."
Time, you are also coming at a fast pace. I think that if the monster thieves really attack us, from the time they attack the stronghold to the time they run here, the time will not be faster than yours, because our soldiers are not dead and will fight with all their strength.
Resistant."
Lin Zihao had no expression on his face and nodded: "Master Liu, please continue."
Without saying a word, Liu Zunlong threw the torch directly into the firewood pile. Immediately, the pungent smell of burning wolf dung filled the air, and three white smoke pillars rose into the sky, straight into the air.
It is more than ten feet high and can be seen clearly even from dozens of miles away.
Soon, at a post about thirty miles to the west, three white smoke pillars also rose, followed by three or four beacon towers further away, more than a hundred miles away, responding at the same time. Even at this location,
He could see it clearly, and all the defenders in the entire camp shouted in unison: "It's safe, it's safe."
Liu Zunlong had a proud smile on his face, looked at Lin Zihao, and said: "This is peace's smoke, and these are the ones that usually pile up here."
As he spoke, he put a finger on the three bundles of firewood leaning against the outer corner of a small stone house inside the beacon tower. These bundles of firewood were obviously dyed with wolf dung and pigments of different colors. If they burned,
It's definitely no longer this thick white smoke.
Lin Zihao nodded: "Liu Junzong usually manages the army well. Both the arrow tower and the beacon tower are in a standing state. I believe that once there is an attack, the arrow tower will respond immediately, and the beacon tower will also be in a ready state.
It can quickly light the beacon according to the scale of the enemy's attack. However, I still have a few questions to ask Master Liu, please enlighten me."
Liu Zunlong said without hesitation: "Captain Lin, if you have any doubts, feel free to speak up. I know everything. It's all for the purpose of working together to defend Wulindu and pass on the information about the enemy's attack. Maybe I have some ill-considered things."
.”
Lin Zihao smiled slightly: "First of all, how to control the scale of the smoke? Do all enemy attacks use this kind of smoke?"
Liu Zunlong shook his head: "Of course not. If a small group of enemy troops with only a few dozen people attacks and cannot break into the camp, we don't need to set off the fire at all. The enemy troops with more than a hundred people but less than 300 people come."
When attacking, we will send out two black and one red smoke. If the enemy has more than 300 and less than 1,000 people, we will send out two red and one black smoke. If the enemy has more than 1,000 and less than 3,000, we will send out two red and one black smoke.
If there is a massive attack, then we will send out three bursts of red smoke."
Having said this, Liu Zunlong looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "If the enemy army comes from all over the river and hundreds of warships attack in a large scale, then we will release five plumes of smoke at the same time to indicate that the situation is critical and that we need reinforcements from the Jiangling direction.
, and we must fight desperately here to delay the enemy's attack as much as possible, and when necessary, we can evacuate one by one upon receiving orders."
Lin Zihao nodded: "That is to say, if the enemy's army is less than a thousand men and horses, you will resist and defend the ferry camp by yourself after reporting the news. But if the enemy's army is more than a thousand men and less than 3,000 men, you will ask for reinforcements."
, if tens of thousands of enemy troops are coming from across the river, then we have to delay and then find a way to evacuate, right?"
Liu Zunlong nodded: "That's about it. Of course, if our reinforcements arrive in time, we can also reinforce this camp. There is enough food in the cellar in the camp to feed 10,000 horses for half a month, which is prepared for the reinforcements."
, In addition, the arrows, spears, and shields needed to defend the camp are also available. I am not boasting, but even if the demon thieves come with 5,000 men, I am confident that I can withstand it with one force."
Lin Zihao sighed, looked outside the stronghold, and said: "Master Liu, I want to ask you something. How do you judge whether the enemy army is dozens, hundreds, a thousand, three thousand, or tens of thousands?
Woolen cloth?"
Liu Zunlong's somewhat proud smile disappeared immediately. He frowned and said: "Our camp here is specially set up two hundred steps away from the ferry, with an open river bank in front of it. Unless it's the one you just said
The arrow tower we inspected is on the headland of a small river bay. However, this headland is too small. It is only a few dozen steps away from the river surface. It is impossible for the monster thieves to have thousands of troops here. Besides, I believe they are enough to deal with it. As for
The flat land above the river bank, hehe, can accommodate up to one or two thousand people here. I can count the heads clearly."
Having said this, he paused and looked to the other side: "Behind us is the road leading to Jiangling and to the Matou Camp. The enemy is unlikely to appear from here to attack. We have suffered
The attack direction will only come from the river. As for the north, there are mountains to protect us and there are dangerous shoals along the river, making it impossible to land."
Lin Zihao nodded: "I can see that Commander Liu has made a lot of arrangements here. Now you have concluded that the enemy's attack can only come from the river, and if you want to attack on a large scale, you must have a large number of warships."
To transport soldiers, right?"
Liu Zunlong nodded: "Of course, the enemy can only attack from the river. We are here at Wulindu, which happens to be the bend of the river. From here, we can land directly to Jiangling. Otherwise, the river bank in the north is dangerous and we will not be able to land.
, and the south is where the Gangda River turns, which is not suitable for landing. There is only one way to go ashore from the east, and we only need to strictly monitor the river. Besides, there are more than ten beacon towers set up on the mountains to the north.
, from Jiangxia to here, especially on the river through Yuzhangkou, if a large number of enemy warships come, we will know the information in advance."
