"Let all the catapults be thrown to a range of 200 meters behind the city wall."
Jing Huai nodded. By doing this, even a fool would know that your Majesty is serious.
About half an hour later, seeing the flames on the top of the city gradually getting smaller, Yang Gan quickly sent the order.
The army digging the soil began to rest, the army pressing the formation operated catapults on top, and the resting army prepared to advance.
After waving the command flag a few times, the two sturdy men standing on the high platform began to swing wooden hammers as big as babies' heads and hit the war drum which was bigger than the Eight Immortals Table.
"Dong dong dong~~~~!"
Jing Huai held a loudspeaker and shouted, "Linchong Lu Gong's car, push forward!!"
Led by the veterans in the front row, the 15,000 people began to divide the city into 20 small squares. Each square was surrounded by a Linchong Lu bus, slowly moving towards the city.
In front of the phalanx were a small number of soldiers, wearing heavy armor. Four or five of them were carrying long wooden boards. At this time, a large amount of silt had already accumulated in the moat, and the river had stopped flowing.
The wooden planks were placed on the soil, and the road was paved in a short time.
The Linchong Lu bus began to move forward on the paved boardwalk.
Zhang Yumeng, who was sitting on the chariot, held a telescope and looked at everything in front of him in shock, and couldn't help but said harshly.
"Damn, I've been deceived again?"
Yang Gan asked curiously, "Being cheated? Who lied to you?"
Zhang Yumeng gritted her teeth and said, "Grandma, I always thought that siege was to climb up the stairs with the stairs. But after you told me, I understood. But in the Linchong Lu Gongche TV series, they are all wooden bridges built with wooden slats." .”
"Did you know that the moat is so wide?"
Yang Qian opened his mouth wide and said with a confused look, "Didn't I leave a lot of books and you didn't read them?"
Zhang Yumengsheng said helplessly, "Brother, have you made a mistake? You have left too many military books. There are also some books left by your master. They are all piled up. What do I think? Dive in and read them. ?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Thinking of Zhang Yumeng's ghostly look, Yang Gan couldn't help laughing.
She nodded her head and said with a smile, "It's all about saving money in TV dramas. The moat of Heshenggu City is twenty-five meters wide. How can there be such long wooden bars to make a wooden bridge? Even if there is, it will be too long in the middle." It’s going to break.”
"For us Central Plains people, moats of this size are just common. They may not exist now, but in history, moats were just tens of meters long."
"The largest moat in the world, Xiangyang Moat is the widest. According to historical records, as early as the Song Dynasty, its average width exceeded 180 meters, and its widest point reached more than 250 meters. It is called the largest city in China."
Yang Qian almost choked up, "You're laughing so hard at me, you're using a wooden bridge for such a wide moat? Save it."
Zhang Yumeng's face was full of despair, and he didn't play according to the routine at all. He just said unwillingly, "It's just like filling it with mud. It's not very clever."
Yang Gan crossed his arms and smiled and said, "The most effective way to cross the moat in the world is to first breach the city from a distance. After suppressing the opponent, send infantry to fill the sandbags!"
"Using corpses as siege props is not allowed on regular battlefields! Filling the river with soil is the most common method. Because there is no way for you to fill the river with corpses before you cross the river. How can we let our own people stand there first? Do you shoot the enemy and then let the people behind use them as materials to fill the river? Therefore, when attacking a city, sandbags are the best tool for crossing the river!"
"First: Crossing the river with a ladder loses the flexibility of flashing, and the people are more concentrated, making it the best target for enemy archers!"
"Second: There cannot be too many materials to help build river crossing tools before siege. The most convenient thing that can be easily obtained no matter where the land battle is, is soil!"
"Third: Sandbags are worthless. They are cheap to make and don't take time. Everyone can do it!"
"So, the easiest and most effective way to cross the moat is to use sandbags."
"The weather is cold now, and the moat can be supported by throwing some sandbags into it."
Zhang Yumeng was really convinced now. He played it every day and made mechanical equipment when he had time. He felt that he was basically at a golden start, and his character card level was definitely SSS level.
I didn't expect it to be rated F on such a common sense issue.
"Then, if you encounter a city like Xiangyang with a 180-meter-wide moat, how should you capture it?"
This question has become Zhang Yumeng’s last stubbornness.
Yang Qian kept pointing his fingers on the wall, and after a long time he sighed, "You still don't understand. Military is a continuation of politics. War has a political purpose. If you can achieve your goal, don't use weapons rashly. You can make huge amounts of money with just a move." and food."
"If it were me, it would definitely be destroyed from within. If we really wanted to attack by force, history has told us that the Mongols used three giant catapults to throw tens of kilograms of stones 200 meters away and collapse the city wall. Xiangyang was captured using amphibious and amphibious cooperation. Of course, the process must have been complicated, but the outcome did not change anything."
Zhang Yumeng stared blankly at Linchong Lu's bus that had arrived under the city wall. She felt that the ancients were too smart, and she didn't know what their minds were thinking.
Zhang Yumeng aside, Yang Qianke never thought that the ancients were stupid. They were just limited by the times. In terms of brains, they were not necessarily stupider than modern people.
Although modern people read a lot and have a wide range of knowledge. They watch Douyin every day and can know the world's affairs without leaving home. There is much to see and little to think about.
Ancient people knew that knowledge is hard to come by. Like Ouyang Moyan, his whole family supported him in learning knowledge. Although he did not read many books, he was good at thinking.
After thinking about it, many problems will be deepened. Once the problems are deepened, we can work hard, and many of the inner truths can be figured out.
Linchong Lu's chariot was ready, and the top guard was opened and placed flat on the top of the city, just like a bridge. Many soldiers on the top were holding bows and arrows and aiming at the situation on the top of the city.
The soldiers below were wearing heavy armor, holding shields in their left hands and iron swords in their right hands. They climbed up the stairs inside Linchong Lu's public car, then formed small military formations and advanced towards the city.
When the flames on the top of the city were all extinguished, all twenty Linchong Lugong vehicles began to land on the top of the city.
After the battlefield was opened, the soldiers who landed on the city met almost no decent resistance, and they all guarded the stairs in the city.
After confirming safety, a large number of soldiers swarmed toward the city wall like ants through the internal stairs of Linchong Lu Gongzhu.
In just a cup of tea, the city head was taken directly. The soldiers downstairs barely reacted when they discovered that a large number of enemy soldiers were rushing from the city head towards the city gate below.
Dozens of Goguryeo elites were chopped into pieces in just a moment of close combat.
When the city gate opened, Yang Gan let out a long sigh of relief. The overall situation was decided. He just needed to have a good rest and wait for Jing Huai to report, and then enter the city like a winner.
The wealth, people, and women in the city are all his own and cannot escape. It is just a good test for Jinghuai's ability to deal with the war. Don't let yourself down. It is not easy to train a general.
Back in the tent, Yang Qian sat on the cushion behind the desk, arched one leg and leaned on one hand, with a comfortable smile on his lips.
In the other hand, he held a glass of corn wine and drank it happily.
Zhang Yumeng returned to the tent and was shocked when he saw Yang Qian.
The unparalleled domineering man who looked down on the world just now is gone, replaced by a lazy look, very much like those decadent men in the previous life.
"Now that you've got it done, start messing around?"
Yang Qian closed his eyes and smiled, stretched hard, and made a coquettish sound like a cat.
"The stress was gone instantly, and I felt relaxed."
"Hahaha."
Yang Gan shook his head, his whole body was extremely wanton.
Zhang Yumeng came over and asked curiously, "Is the pressure really heavy?"
"Is it serious? Remove the word "Mama"!
After saying that, Yang Qian stood up and put one hand on Zhang Yumeng's shoulder. With a little force, he pushed her whole body down.
Ask her to squat down and she screams.
"Yeah, what are you doing? It hurts so much."
Yang Qian let go of his hand and said, "You know it hurts."
After speaking, he patted himself on the shoulder, "What you just bear is the weight of one person, and there are 300,000 people on me. Don't look at me sleeping soundly every night."
"I forced myself to sleep. If I wasn't awake enough and made a major mistake, we might not even have a chance to go home. After all, this is Goguryeo's territory. Goguryeo has not yet fully integrated into our Xia Kingdom. Everything is unknowable.”
"But now, hehe, I've almost eaten you."
Yang Qian lay down again, his feet shaking constantly, his wanton look as if he had won five million dollars.
"Forget it, go home after the fight. I don't want to fight anymore. I'm exhausted."
Zhang Yumeng immediately put Yang Gan's legs on his body and began to knead him.
Others don't know about Yang Gan's efforts, so doesn't she know about it? When I was in Zhuangzi, I would watch TV series or do yoga every day, but it was rare that I would be tasked with developing some kind of machinery.
But as for Yang Gan, he has to get up every day when the rooster crows. He works hard every day. After eating a good meal and taking a nap, he has to read and review official documents, and then it is his own time.
When I read ancient scripts in the past, I thought it was so cool to be a male pig's trotter. Every day was just about pretending to be cool and falling in love. Who would have thought that in ancient times, people with high positions actually had to do so many things every day? I have already gone crazy.
This is more tiring than being an actor. I used to feel that as long as I acted, my energy would be as strong as drinking cow blood, but compared with Yang Gan, it was far behind.
This guy is as happy as eating a cow.
Seeing Zhang Yumeng looking at him with glowing eyes, Yang Gan waved his hand, "Don't worship me too much. I was forced to do nothing."
"You see, we are living a good life now, right? However, the situation in the Central Plains is very delicate. The Central Plains is like a powder keg. It will explode at any time. I don't know when the powder keg will explode. I feel like I am sitting on a powder keg. Next to me, who knows when it will blow up to me."
Zhang Yumeng was surprised and said, "It's impossible. I heard that last year's autumn harvest was quite good in various countries."
