Now that the most dangerous period has passed, even if they can't defeat the Brahmas, they can at least kill a lot of Kushan reinforcements. No matter what, the next step is to make a lot of money. At most, it's just a matter of making more or less.
Naturally, Jia Xu doesn't pay much attention to the progress of Guishang. Li You has to say that his intelligence may be at the top level, but the scary thing about Li You is that in addition to his intelligence, he also uses his own character and consciousness to exert his intelligence. They are all top choices. This kind of opponent is difficult to defeat.
"That's right, Yun Zhang reported urgently before that he killed five people in Guishang's inner body, three first-line generals, and Zilong even killed a world-breaking strongman." Liu Bei heard this and a smile appeared on his face. , before receiving news that Guan Yu was besieged, Liu Bei was also very upset, but unfortunately it was impossible to send troops there in his eagerness, so he could only suppress his inner irritability and wait for the news.
"Now the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges have gained a firm footing. Zhong Yuanchang has started to restore people's livelihood after arriving. Unlike the Central Plains, it is possible to cultivate wasteland even in winter." Jia Xu nodded and said, now the Han Dynasty is in Guishang Most of the main force has been accumulated, but even so, it is not possible to say that Kuishang can be defeated in a short time.
"Can Brahasi City be taken?" Liu Bei suddenly asked a stupid question.
After hearing the words, Jia Xu was silent for a while and then said, "It's difficult. The people stationed in Brahasi City are all good Kushan generals. The city itself is high and dangerous, and Peshawar has begun to mobilize troops after receiving the news. General, it is unlikely to be taken down in a hurry."
In fact, judging from Jia Xu's experience, as long as they don't make mistakes on the Brahmas side, it will take a long time for the Han Dynasty to conquer it. But fortunately, it is just a city after all and cannot be conquered. You can also surround it and recruit reinforcements to take advantage. .
"It is indeed difficult." Liu Bei sighed and said. He also knew what Jia Xu's answer was. After all, Brahgas City is not just a Nangui city, but also a garrison point for Beigui. It has a lot to do with Beigui. lifeline, and after suffering a loss last time, Niranjan will never be as careless as last time.
In fact, it is not just Chang'an who is thinking about this problem now. Guan Yu, who is surrounded by Brahmas in Kushan, is also having a headache.
Now Guan Yu has confirmed his status as Jialan God, and has also opened the trial of God in the eyes of the Kushan people, and won the victory in the primary stage. Therefore, Guan Yu will now be a challenger, plus an epic hero. After Rahul surrounded Brahmas, more and more Nangui people came to seek refuge with Guan Yu.
However, if you look at it from Li You's perspective, 70% of them are true Guan Yu believers, and the remaining 30% are speculators.
Li You's attitude towards this is very interesting. I don't mind at all that you are opportunists. There is still a shortage of cannon fodder to attack the city. No matter what kind of guy comes, they will attack the city first. After surviving the three days of siege, Let’s talk about taking refuge.
This cruel method drove away many people who wanted to speculate, but after all, Guan Yu's divine name had experienced war and became more powerful, so that there was an endless stream of people who came to seek refuge. Li You was very happy about this. satisfy.
After all, if he really uses his elite troops to attack the city, Li You won't be able to withstand it. Although Li You is a devil and can withstand losses very high, Li You has a bottom line, which is meaningless losses. , Li You will not do it.
Like the current ant-invading human sea tactic, there is no point in consuming the elite soldiers. Instead, they have to pay pensions. It is better to seek refuge with believers and speculators. After they die, they will return to Brahma. It can be said that everyone is happy.
"Five arrow towers in Brahmasi were demolished today." Wang Liang came to report to Li Youhui.
"Where's the pile of soil?" Li You said a little tiredly. Li You was also a little tired from the recent day and night siege. Of course, the most important thing is that many commonly used siege tactics are useless.
Poisonous smoke, kerosene bombs, bribery, tunnels, water soaking the city wall foundation, all of them are useless. Up to now, the city of Brahasi has blocked the city gate with huge rocks. It is obvious that the other party is not ready to come out at all. This is It feels so bad.
Niranjan itself has accumulated a huge amount of food and grass in Brahshas. As for the water source being cut off, I can’t say that water can come out of this place just by digging, but it’s almost too much, so it depends on dragging. It seems difficult to drag the opponent to death.
Technical tactics were completely blocked. Even if there were professional diggers who were sure to dig a road into the city, before they even entered the city, the opponent used a special method of listening to detect the location, and then used Trebuchets smashed the tunnel down.
Pity the group of elite diggers who were digging underground. Except for a few who were lucky and highly skilled, they were all on their way.
So far, only frontal force methods are left, and conventional ladders and siege machines are only as effective. It takes a lot of time to win, so that Li You was forced to choose to bulldoze into mountains. Relying on siege machinery is too slow. Not to mention how efficient this method is, at least it is more stable.
"The earth mountain was half piled, but a large piece was blown away by the enemy's legion attack." Wang Liang sighed and said. After all, the earth mountain had not been warmed and could not withstand the bombardment of the legion attack.
"Continue to pile up. Use it if you want to use it for legion attacks. Let the civilians also pile up the mountain of earth. It will take as long as it takes. Now we don't care about this little time." Li You heard that there was nothing special about the mountain of earth being bombed. Li You was not in a hurry at all, it just felt like something was rising up little by little, and Guishuang had no way to stop it.
This operation itself is not difficult at all. The significance of using it is that the longer the delay, the larger the scale of the mountain will be, and the greater the psychological pressure will be on the Kushan soldiers who watch the mountain being built little by little, especially General Niranjan. When the city gates were locked and the Kushan soldiers could not even escape, the pressure was even greater.
Of course, Li You thought that Nilanjan did this so that in the event of an unexpected situation and the Han Dynasty suddenly entered the city, Nilanjan could use this method to force the Kushan soldiers to fight to the death.
This idea is good and makes sense, but this method deals with sudden fear. However, if you see danger approaching and cannot run away, you may have the consciousness of fighting to the death at first, but as time goes by, If the pressure gets too high, it will really break down.
After sending Wang Liang away, Li You went to find Wang Tao. He needed to talk to Wang Tao.
"How is the situation?" Li You looked at Wang Tao who was playing with the equipment in the back camp and asked with an indifferent expression. However, at this moment, Li You's eyes were different from the indifference he had when he looked at Wang Liang before. Instead, he looked at him with a sinister glare. , Under this harsh light, Wang Tao couldn't help but shudder.
"Now I have completed the conversion of the essence of heaven and earth into electricity, and I have created this thing, which can store a large amount of electricity. I call it a battery." Seeing that Li You did not dare to be perfunctory, Wang Tao quickly began to explain. .
"Battery?" Li You looked at a large ball of semi-solidified gel and raised his eyebrows, "What's the use of this thing?"
"This thing allows me to access electricity at any time, and it can also store excess electricity. With this thing, my research has taken a big step forward." Wang Tao looked very excited when he talked about his professional issues. The Wang family's more than 100 years of research finally yielded results.
"Now with this two-kilometer enameled wire and this electromagnet, the information released by me can be received instantly from two kilometers away. If this line can reach 20 kilometers, the message can also be received instantly. This is my latest invention." Wang Tao began to explain the principle eloquently, and looked at Li You very excitedly.
Wang Tao's understanding of electric speed made it clear that any secret method of sound transmission, some eight-hundred-mile express, or any flying pigeon delivering messages would be reduced to rubbish in seconds. As long as the line is long enough, you can do it. Even in Chang'an, I can instantly receive the news about them in Guishang. Are you afraid that our Wang family's research in Kuaiji will not be affected!
As for the technical difficulty, Wang Tao knows it very well. It is very simple. The biggest problem is actually the problem of copper wire. However, the people of the Central Plains seem to have figured out this weird technology of drawing metal before the Spring and Autumn Period. It is not difficult at all, but the length is a bit frustrating.
"What's the use of this?" Li You looked at Wang Tao kindly and asked, what's the use of a distance of two kilometers? Zhang Fei roared, maybe everyone could hear it.
"No, no, no, this is not just a matter of twenty kilometers. It's the same for two hundred kilometers, two thousand kilometers, and twenty thousand kilometers. It will come in an instant." Wang Tao said very excitedly, which stunned Li You. Although He asked Wang Tao to study how to draw thunder, but Wang Tao didn't finish it. But after Wang Tao figured out this, he couldn't hang Wang Tao on a tree to take care of him.
Just like the Soviet Research Institute, the KGB can use guns to force engineers to design the tanks that Comrade Steel needs. If they can't complete the tank, they will directly turf. However, the KGB caught Landau who was not working hard and was racing. He did not dare to turf Landau. , this is a question of value.
Li You is obviously this kind of character. Especially when he found out that Wang Tao had misappropriated the research funds he had given him to do other things and did not care about the thunder thing he wanted, Li You was ready to catch Wang Tao and hang him. After all, the Wang family in Kuaiji had agreed that if Wang Tao didn't work well, Wang Tao would be punished and compensated by Li You.
That's right, the Wang family in Kuaiji sold Wang Tao!
But even if Li You didn't understand electromagnetism, after confirming that Wang Tao was not joking, he felt that this was a good technology. Even if it could only transmit electrical codes, it was still a very remarkable research.
Especially after Wang Tao showed that he had no idea that the funds were used to study how to draw thunder, the kind white-bearded old man very kindly forgave Wang Tao's misappropriation of funds and warned Wang Tao to study how to draw thunder as soon as possible.
