The first is the frontal battlefield. According to Qin Feng's idea, even if the enemy has an absolute numerical advantage, they will not attack from all sides at the same time, because this is equivalent to directly weakening the enemy's strength.
Even if 16,000 people attack at the same time and are divided into four sides, then only 4,000 people are attacking on each side of the defense line, while there are more than 400 soldiers defending the city wall.
Although the gap between the enemy and ourselves is still ten times, four hundred versus four thousand is much easier than one thousand eighty versus sixteen thousand.
Therefore, the most correct tactical arrangement is to gather all the forces, break through at one point, and carry out a full-scale offensive. The test is too great for the number of people and the quality of the soldiers. Not to mention the generals of Beidi, even Qin Feng does not dare to attempt it easily. .
Now changing his thinking, how to spread the enemy's troops from one point to weaken the strength of the enemy's final punch is the core of Qin Feng's tactical thinking.
The number of enemy troops on the front is reduced. Although the defensive front is lengthened, it is equivalent to widening the front in disguise.
But problems also arise one after another, that is, this front cannot be too wide. Once the enemy troops are densely distributed on the entire city wall, it will become a situation of 1,800 against 16,000. For Qin Feng, In other words, it is extremely disadvantageous.
In the most ideal situation, the enemy's strength is divided into two groups, forcing the opponent to attack in two directions.
Of course, the enemy army will never act according to Qin Feng's idea, so how to induce and force the enemy army to disperse their forces has become an area that needs to rack their brains.
In addition to the game of thinking and tactical command, the hardware must also be absolutely reliable.
Qin Feng planned to place the core of defense on the left and right wings, that is, the east and west walls. In this way, no matter how stupid the enemy is, they will definitely attack the front and rear, that is, the north and south walls.
The southern city wall is the main battlefield, and the northern city wall is the secondary battlefield.
When the enemy launches an attack, they only need to leave necessary defensive forces on the front, and then continuously provide support to the front battlefield from the east and west directions.
But this still cannot stop the enemy.
After all, even if the enemy troops are divided into two groups, the power of this last-minute punch is too great. There will be at least 10,000 enemy troops on the front battlefield, while the rear battlefield will face the pressure of 6,000 enemy troops.
On the premise of avoiding a large number of casualties, blocking the enemy's frontal impact is no longer a matter of pure "manpower".
At this time, Qin Feng's kerosene and other supplies stored in the storage warehouse came in handy.
Of course, the most critical thing lies in the "artisans accompanying the army" who came with the Beixi soldiers.
Although there are only a dozen craftsmen accompanying the army, they only need to master the core construction techniques, and the rest of the rough work can be left to the strong men.
One of the tools to assist in frontal defense is the catapult that must be built.
Although the catapult is huge, all its components are correspondingly large, and there are few precision parts that are labor-intensive and time-consuming, so it is easier to build.
Another tool for defending the city is the bed crossbow!
The process of building a bed crossbow is much more complicated than a catapult. Without preparation, it will take at least several months to build a bed crossbow. The bow string and bow arm alone are a troublesome matter.
But Qin Feng had already solved the two most difficult components in advance.
Among the military supplies secretly transported into Changshui County, apart from kerosene, the most important ones were bow strings and bow arms, and they were available in various sizes.
The trumpet's bowstring and bow arm can replace and supplement the bows and arrows in the hands of soldiers.
After all, bows are extremely easy to "fatigue" under high-intensity use. If the bow arms are fatigued, they are prone to breakage, and if the bowstring is fatigued, it will break directly.
This is why, during non-combat periods, the bow string and bow arm must be kept separately, to prevent the bow string and bow arm from being tightened for a long time and causing fatigue.
In addition to replacing and repairing the bow strings and arms of the walking bow, the remaining large bow strings and arms are purely used to make parts for the bed crossbow.
Under Qin Feng's guidance, Tianji Battalion has already mastered the manufacturing method of bed crossbows. The reason why it has not produced them, and even Beixi County does not have the equipment, is not a military or technological issue, but due to political considerations.
After all, the bed crossbow is not just a little bit better for defending the city. Once this kind of weapon for defending the city comes out, it will be difficult for Emperor Liang to deal with it. Qin Feng will definitely be forced to reinforce all the important cities in Daliang. Ichiban.
Neighboring countries will also have a series of reactions when they learn that Daliang is equipped with a bed crossbow.
The bed crossbow is not a precision instrument. In fact, the core components come and go, just a few of them, and the operating principle is not even complicated.
The reason why no country has invented the bed crossbow now is not a question of whether it can be done, but a question of whether it is available.
No one knows that there is such a weapon for defending the city in the world, and naturally they will not think about it. However, once it comes out, it will not take long for skilled craftsmen from all over the world to understand its secrets. In the blink of an eye, crossbows will be everywhere in all countries.
In particular, now that the identities of Qin Feng and Beidi have been swapped, Qin Feng is now the main attacker and Beidi is defensive. If the secret of the bed crossbow is revealed at the beginning of the war, when Qin Feng's army comes to the city, they will be defeated by the weapon he invented. Why shoot yourself in the foot when you have become disgraced?
Therefore, the bed crossbow, one of the secrets of Tianji Camp, has been tightly covered by Qin Feng.
If he didn't have to defend an isolated city on a foreign land, Qin Feng still wouldn't move out the crossbow easily.
As long as we can build as many catapults and crossbows as possible before the enemy launches an attack, we can consolidate the defense of Changshui County to the maximum extent.
Ning Hu was stunned when he learned that Qin Feng was hiding such a big killer weapon.
"Brother Qin, you hide it too deeply!"
"To be honest, when you decided to be trapped in the lonely city, I was a little bit worried in my heart. Can we, the people like us, endure it?"
"Haha, you have something like this, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
Faced with Ning Hu's complaints, Qin Feng shrugged and wrote lightly: "When you are not a family member, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Many things need to be considered from all aspects. Political issues such as bed crossbows are greater than military issues."
"Forget it, let me tell you, you don't understand either."
Ning Hu chuckled, his eyes already full of confidence, and he quickly asked: "Brother Qin, didn't you say before, in addition to being tough on the front battlefield, you also need to be flexible in the rear."
"What kind of flexible method?"
Qin Feng clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the deep sky outside the city wall, and said in a deep voice: "The building will collapse, and all monsters and ghosts will appear!"
"The opposition imperial party has been making trouble in Zhuozhou for so long, and Ye Xiao and the Beidi King are at odds with each other. Haha, there must be some results, right?"
