Chapter three hundred and forty seventh tonight

 In ancient city construction, there were generally two mainstream methods, which Wang Mi had long heard of.

One is similar to the existing capitals such as Beijing and Chang'an, which are boxy cities extending outward according to the standard central axis, while the other is roughly a city like Xiangyang City.

Because of the special geographical environment of being surrounded by mountains and rivers, such cities are generally important military towns that do their part, and their strategic position has been very important in all dynasties.

However, because of this special topographic and landform characteristics, these cities cannot strictly follow the square central axis construction method to construct the city.

City walls and gates were built along the water or relying on the mountains. Some were even on the mountains or at the foot of the mountains. Both sides of the water belonged to the same city but were not connected to each other.

The mountains and rivers are enclosed by the city wall, forming some natural barriers.

"Approximately how many defenders are there on Queer Mountain?"

Cui Yanyou thought about it again and again, and finally spoke: "Before my subordinates left Xiangyang City, there were about five thousand defenders on Que'er Mountain. This is certain."

"The number of people is not too large, but they are not equipped with weapons such as heavy crossbows. If the Jin army concentrates its energy in one place, attacks fiercely, and rushes into the south gate, it will not be difficult."

Although Cui Yanyou was a young general in the city, he had been away from Xiangyang for some time after all. Thinking of the big rocks on the shore, Wang Mi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

To throw such huge stones, a stone cannon cart must be equipped. This means that Que'er Mountain is already equipped with heavy weapons like stone cannon carts.

It is not certain that the military strength will increase.

Thinking of this, Wang Mi did not immediately agree to Cui Yanyou's suggestion, but asked another question: "You have been with Fu Rui for many years, do you know his main tactics?"

Since you want to surrender, then surrender quickly and thoroughly. This is what Wang Mi means.

Cui Yanyou was also a speculator. He was worried about how to express his determination to Wang Mi, so Wang Mi gave him a chance.

Suddenly, my blood surged and I was extremely excited.

"Speaking of this tactic, Secretary Wang actually doesn't have to worry. Although General Fu has been fighting for many years and has rich experience, he has always only known how to rush and fight without any strategy. If it weren't for the fact that Xiangyang City has recently entered the Qin Dynasty,

, The Qin court has few generals, and Qin Lord Fu Jian will definitely not send this person to Xiangyang City to guard it."

"Originally, my subordinates still had doubts about whether the Jin army could win in one battle. But when I met Secretary Wang today, I realized that these thoughts were unnecessary."

"With a talented person like Secretary Wang, who is capable of both literary and military skills, Xiangyang City is already within the grasp of the Jin Army!"

It's a lot of praise, but it's a pity that it didn't say anything useful.

Wang Mi calmed down and asked about the specific strategy. Cui Yanyou, who was blushing and excited, realized that he had gone off topic in his excitement.

Of course there are key points that are easy to break through.

"The Jin army can concentrate its forces and attack the southern gate, Qixia Gate."

"Why?"

"What's different about this door?"

Finally, there was something useful again. Wang Mi leaned over and poured tea for Cui Yanyou, making a show of his gestures.

Cui Yanyou took a few sips and was not polite at all. He talked for too long and was really thirsty.

He dipped some tea and made a sign on the small table: "This Qixia Gate is guarded by the Xianbei Army!"

Huh?

This sentence seems to have a profound meaning.

Wang Mi pricked up his ears.

"The Xianbei Army has always been at odds with the Di-Qin Army, and their commander-in-chief Murong Chui has always been a resourceful and resourceful man. Once there is a change in Xiangyang City and the Jin army storms Qixia Gate, Murong Chui may be under pressure and may abandon the defense directly.

, let the Jin army enter the city!"

Good guy!

Murong Chui's plan of opening the city gates and coordinating the inside and the outside must have been heard in the streets and alleys of Xiangyang!

How come everyone knew that Murong Chui was rebellious?

Could it be that only Fu Jian in Chang'an City is blind?

Even if he can't see it, he still regards Lao Chui Chui as a good person?

Wang Mi couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He had every reason to suspect that Fu Jian was suffering from Alzheimer's disease. He was certainly not the same person who was so decisive in killing when he was young.

"How can you conclude that Murong Chui will cooperate with our army? As far as I know, it must have been more than ten years since he surrendered to Di Qin."

"The Lord of Qin, Fu Jian, treated him well, and he is not young anymore. He should not rebel again, otherwise he will be known as unkind and unjust."

Although Wang Mi had already reached cooperation with Murong Chui in advance, he still had to pretend in front of the unknowing Cui Yanyou.

Cui Yanyou sneered, not knowing who he was laughing at.

"Secretary Wang's words are wrong. Di Qin's siege of the city has never created a force of benevolence and righteousness. Nowadays, there are many different factions in Chang'an City. Each faction has its own leader who is loyal to him. Fu Jian has always been treated in a face-to-face manner.

Discordant."

Considering that Wang Mi, who was far away in Jiankang, did not know much about the various intrigues in the Qin court, Cui Yanyou explained it in detail.

Over the years, he had devoted himself to the Qin court and studied these complicated relationships.

"Among the many factions, Murong Chui is the most powerful leader. His subordinates have long concluded that if there is an opportunity, this person will leave Fu Jian and never look back."

"The current battle in Xiangyang is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Murong Chui, and he will never let it go."

Cui Yanyou's words verified from the side that Murong Chui had indeed had a rebellious heart for a long time and had been waiting for an opportunity.

Although the time when the Battle of Xiangyang started was very different from the Battle of Feishui in history, Wang Mi still concluded that this was a God-given opportunity.

The words of Cui Yanyou and many advisers have proved this point time and time again. If you want to take over an important town like Xiangyang, it is absolutely impossible without spies who cooperate inside and outside.

Although the previous raid was effective, it also put great pressure on Fu Rui in the city, so much so that he didn't even dare to go out of the city to challenge with a large army in hand, and only dared to test it in a clandestine manner.

However, behind the lucky victory, we must not forget that Xiangyang City is still a city with deep ditches and high walls, which is difficult to break.

Once it comes to a formal siege battle, it will be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and a human meat grinder. With the scale of Xiangyang City, defensive facilities, weapons and equipment, and personnel, if you want to rely solely on strength to win, it is impossible without a hundred thousand people.

It won’t work.

This time the Jin army had enough numbers to attack the city, but as a latecomer with knowledge and strategic vision, Wang Mi came to the military tent, looked at the dots of fire in the back area, and sighed.

"beat!"

"Fight tonight!"

"Li Baoying!"

"My subordinate is here."

Wang Mi returned to the small mat with awe-inspiring momentum. The team leader Zeng Jing went to chase the Qin soldiers. Now in this roundabout area, Wang Mi could only command some nine-man captains and small soldiers.

Li Baoying is one of them.

"Go and call Lin Deguang."

Li Baoying took the order and left quickly. Not long after, Lin Deguang appeared in the military camp. At this time, Cui Yanyou, who had just surrendered, had already taken it upon himself to find a job.
