Chapter 355 Xiangyang City Gate Multiple Hidden Weapons
Xie Xuan’s wish is very good, but things will not develop according to his ideas after all.
Wang Mi, Huan Yi and others, had just bypassed Di Qin's eyes and arrived near Qixia Gate. Before they could stand still, Cui Yanyou approached again.
"Secretary Wang, I have something else I want to give you. I don't know if it is of any use."
Looking down, Cui Yanyou actually held another scroll in his hand.
What is this again?
"This is..." Wang Mi looked puzzled, and his intuition was that it would be a big killer.
Cui Yanyou gave the scroll to Wang Mi with some anxiety. Wang Mi opened it and was stunned.
"Secretary Wang, this is recorded by my subordinates. The hidden weapons and defensive facilities currently in Xiangyang City are of some use to the Jin army in attacking the city."
"General Choi!"
"You actually... you actually keep carrying this thing!"
Wang Mi's voice was extremely excited. He held the scroll and refused to let go. Cui Yanyou was worried, what's going on?
Did I give the wrong treasure?
His nervous palms were sweating. Wang Mi raised his eyes and saw how panicked he looked, and he suddenly became confused.
"General Cui, why didn't you bring out such a good thing just now!"
"With this treasure, Xiangyang City is truly within our army's grasp!" Wang Mi snapped the scroll, extremely excited.
The strategy contributed by Cui Yanyou is really a treasure for the Jin army who is about to go to war.
His strategy mainly elaborates on two aspects of the problem.
First, the Di people were suspicious. When Murong Chui used troops, there must be Di people watching behind him.
To be honest, Wang Mi would not have considered this at all if Cui Yanyou hadn’t reminded him of it.
Secondly, there are many hidden weapons at the city gate, such as boiling oil, nail boards, and trenches are necessary.
If all these hidden weapon mechanisms were arranged by Fu Rui, it can only mean that this seemingly useless general is not that useless.
At this time, Wang Mi will discuss the problem of too concise wording in classical Chinese, a treasure of our country’s literature.
Although it has been some time since Wang Mi came to this era, the memories of the handsome prince in his previous life were not too damaged in his mind, and most of them were preserved.
However, once he read classical Chinese articles on paper, Wang Mi still felt a headache and a headache. He just wanted to pick up a pen and change everything into vernacular.
"General Cui, these concealed weapons and mechanisms are placed at the city gate. How are they used on weekdays?" After pondering for a moment, Wang Mi finally asked. Cui Yanyou quickly stepped forward. As a young general of the Qin Army, these questions were not difficult for him.
"Secretary Wang doesn't know something. Several concealed weapon mechanisms are usually used together. Generally speaking, nail boards and trenches are used more."
"Secretary Wang, please take a look," Cui Yanyou pointed at Qixia Gate and explained: "The three-foot-square nail board is hung on the city gate. There is one in every city gate. The wood is made of authentic golden nanmu.
, extremely heavy. Not to mention, the heavy wooden boards are also inlaid with countless iron nails. Once the Xiangyang City Gate is threatened, or even the enemy forces break through the city gate, Qin soldiers will board the tower.
Put the giant pegboard down."
"The heavy wooden planks, coupled with the extremely sharp large and small iron nails, as long as anyone is unfortunately hit by such a nail board, no matter whether it is a person or a horse, there will be no chance of survival."
Wang Mi couldn't help but shuddered when he thought of the tragic scene where the nail board was photographed and people fell on their backs. This was too cruel!
After such a photo, this person, instead of turning into meat paste, has to change into a photo.
"However, the nail board is heavy and it is not easy to put it down immediately. As long as the cavalry runs fast enough, it should be possible to rush over." Wang Mi tried his best to use his brain and finally came up with a solution. He tried
He asked the question in a sexual way, his voice a little weak.
Sure enough, before he finished speaking, Cui Yanyou shook his head and waved his hands, denying his statement.
"Secretary Wang, you can't rush through."
"How do you say that?" Wang Mi asked urgently, all at once.
"Secretary Wang, don't forget, in addition to nail boards, there are also trenches!"
"In order to prevent enemy troops from entering the city, two three-foot-deep trenches will be dug behind each city gate. No matter whether it is a man or a horse, once he steps into the trench, he will never stand up again."
"Not only that, when the battle comes, the trenches will be filled with water. The trenches are deep and muddy. People and horses will fall into them if they pass by."
"When the enemy troops are overturned in the trench, the Qin soldiers will smash down the nail boards. At that time, who else can escape?"
Nail board and trench, no wonder it is called a combination, it is indeed a good combination!
"Since General Cui can propose it, he must have already thought of a way to solve it!" Wang Mi stared at Cui Yanyou with a smile in his eyes, looking forward to it sincerely.
Xiao Cui, you must have a way.
I trust you!
Cui Yanyou scratched his head in embarrassment and said truthfully: "Secretary Wang is disappointed. I really have no good solution."
"Fu Rui ordered people to dig the trench early in the morning. As long as the Jin cavalry enters the city, they will definitely encounter it. This is inevitable!"
"As for the nail board, there may be a way to crack it. At least, the nail board is heavy, and it is not that easy to pull it up and down every time. Maybe the cavalry can rush in while the nail board is not pulled up.
"
"Only the trench is so deep and wide that people and horses will definitely fall into it if they pass by. Basically no one will be spared."
"No!"
"no no!"
"There must be a solution!" Wang Mi jumped up suddenly, not caring whether there were Xianbei people on the south gate tower checking the situation and whether they would find him, the enemy general.
He slapped his forehead violently, putting together various tactics from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and imagining ways to properly solve the problem.
At this time, Cui Yanyou's chatter did not stop for a moment.
In addition to the nail board trench, there is another sharp weapon in Xiangyang City that must be mentioned, which is the boiling oil.
Although the lethality of boiling oil is slightly lower than that of nail boards, it also has advantages over nail boards. The boiling oil is very convenient to use. Just heat the oil until it is boiling hot and pour it down from the tower.
, quite convenient.
When the boiling oil falls on the enemy, all it takes is a torch to turn an area within a mile into a sea of flames.
With the barrier of this sea of fire, no enemy troops could break into Xiangyang City without permission, and the defenders in the city would have time to organize an attack.
In fact, these so-called hidden weapon mechanisms were erected near the city gate for two purposes: to delay the enemy's attack and to buy the defenders time to counterattack.
In ancient battles, once the city gate was lost, the entire city was almost in extreme danger. The ancient city was simple in structure, with neither tall buildings nor criss-crossing roads and lanes. At best, it was just a well composed of a few cross streets.
Character layout.
With such a clear view of the city's buildings, as long as the enemy troops rush into the city, it will be almost impossible for the defenders to organize an effective defense.
"Secretary Wang, this matter is no small matter. The defense facilities in Xiangyang City are complete. Once the Jin army attacks the city, even if they are lucky enough to enter the city, they will suffer great losses."
"The soldiers suffered numerous casualties!"
This is also the role of the so-called city defense facilities. In fact, once the city gate is broken, there was no point in continuing to fight in ancient times.
The reason why so many traps and hidden weapons are installed is just to draw in a few more enemy troops.
