The centurion who was patrolling the city wall saw Zhang Bao coming and quickly led his men down.
"What's going on?"
"Why do you let all the brothers sleep underground?"
Zhang Bao asked, pointing to the people sleeping on the ground.
"Sir, our people take turns and are stationed on the city wall day and night. The main camp is far away from here. Many brothers are tired after changing the defense, so they just rest here."
"Once something happens, it's easy to deal with it in time. We are all used to this kind of war now."
"The weather isn't too cold now, so it's okay to put grass underneath."
The centurion said to Zhang Bao.
His eyes were full of pride.
In his opinion.
Those who are left behind are all warriors worthy of praise!
It doesn't matter how difficult the environment is, they can persevere!
"Nonsense!"
Zhang Bao couldn't help being furious!
The sound also woke up the sleeping soldiers.
"How can I not have a place to live?"
"If this continues for a long time, the physical condition of our brothers will get worse and worse!"
Zhang Bao came out of the army and naturally knew it very well.
To maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.
Willpower alone is not enough!
In the past, our ancestors had no choice but to do so under difficult circumstances.
But as long as there are conditions, the most basic living conditions for the soldiers must be guaranteed.
The will of soldiers cannot be maintained by deliberately compressing living standards.
"Immediately, move all the residents in the area near the city gate!"
"Place the camp here for me!"
"The same goes for the northern gate. Set up a camp near the gate."
Zhang Bao said to the centurion.
"You guys, take this money and go to the restaurants and bars in the city immediately to get some hot porridge."
Then he turned around and gave instructions to the officials behind him.
Several government officials immediately went to work.
But the centurion was a little at a loss.
"Remember, don't make nonsense, create conditions if there are no conditions!"
"Don't use the suffering of your brothers to show off your merits."
"Reduce the number of people on duty every day, divide it into three shifts, and prepare warning things."
"If you find anything unusual, call the police immediately!"
"This way everyone can enter combat status immediately!"
Zhang Bao said to the centurion.
When the centurion heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
If Zhang Bao really followed what Zhang Bao said, build a camp not far from the two city gates, and divide the soldiers on duty into three shifts.
In this way, most of their soldiers can have a good rest.
And if you encounter danger, you won’t be delayed too much.
He said nothing more.
He immediately took action.
Fortunately.
After the first two battles.
This large area from the city gate has long been cleared.
The construction of the camp did not encounter much trouble.
Again.
If it had been in the past, there might have been many people who would have blocked it.
But after these two dangerous sieges, Sanhe County Government was almost defeated.
It also gave the people in the county government a deep sense of crisis.
As long as it's to protect the county.
How big a deal is moving?
The people were very cooperative.
After Zhang Bao made arrangements, he also walked onto the city wall.
At this time, there are still traces of previous battles on the city wall.
On the masonry, the marks of swords are clearly visible, and they are also infiltrated with black and red colors.
It shows how tragic the previous battle was.
Zhang Bao was deeply touched.
Strictly speaking.
This was the first battle Zhang Bao participated in.
This kind of cold weapon battle gave Zhang Bao no less shock than the battlefields of later generations.
That kind of tragic situation where punches hit the flesh and swords see blood makes everyone on the battlefield go crazy.
at this time.
Standing on this city wall, looking down from a high position, Zhang Bao couldn't help but marvel at the profound wisdom of the ancients.
Just relying on this stone and earth wall, they can resist dozens of times the enemy!
No wonder the Great Wall has such a status and role in history.
In this situation without heavy weapons.
This city wall is a natural moat.
etc!
Heavy weapons?
Zhang Bao was sighing when something suddenly came to his mind.
I couldn't help but feel scared for a while.
These few times, those who attacked the county government were all rebels. They did not have heavy weapons to attack the city.
If they had a cannon.
Then this city wall won't have much effect.
Especially the wooden city gate.
It only takes one shot to blast it away.
At that time, the cavalry can march straight in.
"Here comes someone!"
"Call some centurions!"
Zhang Bao immediately ordered the people around him.
After a while.
Five centurions quickly ran over.
"grown ups!"
"What's the important thing for summoning us?"
The first person asked.
This man's name is Sun Ming, and he is also a tiger general under Chen Dadao.
"I have something to ask some of you."
"Does the army have artillery and other siege equipment in the army now?"
"If you attack a city, what equipment will you use?"
Zhang Bao waved his hand to tell everyone not to be so formal.
"artillery?"
"What is that?"
"In the army, only catapults can be used to siege cities. However, catapults are complicated to make and are generally only deployed in large armies."
Sun Ming said doubtfully.
"Catapult?"
"It's not bad."
Zhang Bao nodded.
Although he had mastered the method of making gunpowder before and made gunpowder, he did not use it.
Even if an explosive pack is made, if someone throws it out directly now, it will probably blow down the city wall.
If Zhang Bao were really asked to make an artillery piece, it would naturally be impossible under the current conditions.
Although Zhang Bao traveled back in time to modern times, many things cannot be made just by making them.
Let alone Daxia now.
Even if we go back to modern times, building artillery is not something everyone can do.
Every industry has its own barriers.
People who have traveled through time may have had thousands of years of vision and theory ahead of them.
But the actual operation ability may not be able to keep up.
Zhang Bao thought for a moment.
You can start with the catapult first.
If the catapult is made successfully, then add the explosive pack.
Then this power is comparable to that of artillery.
"By the way, there is one more thing."
"I saw the siege ladders they made before, and they seemed a bit crude. Moreover, during the siege this time, the poles arranged by Ma Junhou played a big role and knocked down several ladders."
"But those rebels are not fools, and they will definitely make improvements."
"We also need countermeasures."
Zhang Bao said to everyone.
"Sir, those rebels are just a bunch of rabble. Your Excellency, you think too highly of them!"
A centurion said nonchalantly.
The faces of several other people seemed to have this same thought.
