Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 298 Extermination!

Zhang Yi ignored Tang Peng's request. Although making money is important, it must be done under the premise of ensuring safety.

Although the city walls and fortresses have basically been completed now, this so-called steel defense line is just a decoration.

After all, if there is no practice and no cooperation between soldiers, then everything is just an illusory bubble after all, and many loopholes need to be filled in order to be truly safe.

inside the tent.

Niu Jinda was dealing with official duties on the copybook, while holding a brush to draw ghostly symbols, while listening to Zhang Yi's report, but after only a few words, his expression turned ugly.

Because Zhang Yi actually said that there were loopholes in the line of defense, this undoubtedly made him a little cursing.

The fortresses and city walls made of concrete have been tested by him personally. Not to mention the machetes of the Turks, even if they are cut with the horizontal knives of the Tang Dynasty, they can only leave a rough mark on them.

In his opinion, such a fortification can completely defend the city without losing it as long as the guard is not an idiot.

But Zhang Yi is a good guy. He actually said that there are loopholes. Isn't this nonsense?
At that moment, Niu Jinda glanced at Zhang Yi angrily, and said lightly: "Boy, you said that the city built by the old man has loopholes? Then tell the old man, how can we not count it as a loophole?"

Seeing that Lao Niu's face has turned black, it is obvious that he is asking for guilt. In fact, Zhang Yi also knows that his so-called loopholes will only happen with a very small chance, but in order to prevent this one in ten thousand possibility Regarding the matter, Zhang Yi still bite the bullet and said: "General, it is true that our fortifications are strong, but have you noticed a problem, that is, our defense actually has certain restrictions."

"Oh?" Lao Niu stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at Zhang Yi.

As a veteran, he didn't pay attention at first, but after hearing Zhang Yi's words and thinking about the fortifications, he also faintly sensed that something was wrong there, but he couldn't figure out the crux, so he decided to listen to what Zhang Yi had to say.

"General Niu, I don't know if you haven't noticed that the fort we built is a bit small because of the material. The average number of soldiers that can be placed in a fort is no more than 100. Although it occupies a favorable location and is strong, but apart from holding on There is no effective means of attack outside!"

Then, Zhang Yi pointed to the pen holder on the table and explained: "Look, this is equivalent to our fortress. Although the left and right are leaning against each other, manpower is a big problem. Don't you think every Can a fortress be rescued with only one hundred people? Or can a hundred people defend a line of defense?
You know, defending the city nowadays is nothing more than relying on geographical advantages, bows and arrows, thunder stones, rolling logs, etc. to defend the city, but have you ever thought that Shuofang City may be able to use these methods? After all, Shuofang City can store so many equipment, but the fort Otherwise, at most they can only reserve some bows and arrows.

Once the enemy is really determined to attack the defense line, in fact, they only need to concentrate their forces to attack one place, and they can pass through hundreds of thousands of lives. I think this loss should not be considered as long as the goal is achieved. what? "

"You you." Niu Jinda trembled suddenly, pointing at Zhang Yi, speechless for a long time.

Zhang Yi's analysis is very correct. As Zhang Yi said, the defense of the fortress is actually just defense. Even if the bow and arrow in your hand are all arrows, is it possible that you can still guarantee that the arrow will kill people?There are a hundred archers in a fortress, and it is very good for an archer to kill ten people in one battle, but facing an endless stream of enemy troops, even if he can kill a thousand enemies, it is difficult to control the entire battle situation no?

At this moment, the old cow felt as if he had eaten a big-headed fly in his mouth, and that feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

I think the reason why he agreed to Zhang Yi to build the fort at the beginning was nothing more than he valued Zhang Yi's so-called steel defense line. After all, although this defense line is a bit wasteful, it is completely within the nausea he can bear, not to mention the fact that the court needs to pay for it. That is, some food for the soldiers to eat.

In Niu Jinda's view, it's only natural for soldiers to eat food, even if they don't work, he has to feed the soldiers, right?So he agreed in such a muddled way.

But what he never expected was that after the construction was completed, Zhang Yi would come to him and tell him that there was a loophole in the line of defense. Didn't this make him uncomfortable?

Niu Jinda was about to get angry, Zhang Yi was naturally afraid, and he had been calculating for so long just for this moment, before the old cow broke out, Zhang Yi hurriedly said: "However... this is just the lower official's guess, and it is still the worst guess! Although the line of defense It’s indeed a little unsatisfactory, but don’t we have spies? When the enemy appears two hundred miles away, we can receive the news and prepare for the battle. We can even set up refusal horses, barbed wire, etc. They can also organize a sneak attack, and before they reach the defense line, they will probably lose a lot, and then let them attack the defense line without paying the price!"

"It's you who say it's good, and it's you who say it's not. You tell the old man, is your line of defense good?" Niu Jinda felt that he had been tricked, and immediately slapped Zhang Yi hard on the forehead. Angrily said: "Don't make circles for the old man, just say what you have to say, next time you talk like this, be careful that the old man hangs you on the city gate and beats you!"

Niu Jinda is a warrior, but that doesn't mean he has no brains.

Obviously, Niu Jinda has already come to his senses now.

As Zhang Yi said, there are scouts, preconditions for defense, and ambushes. If the enemy army hits the defense line, the casualties will definitely be serious.Attacking the defense line with wounded soldiers in such a situation is undoubtedly courting death!
After he figured it out, Lao Niu immediately calmed down. If Nian Zai hadn't needed to save Zhang Yi some face in the army, he might really dare to hang Zhang Yi from the city gate and beat him.

However, just when Zhang Yi wanted to explain!
Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes outside the door, followed by the sound of interrogation by the sergeant, and then two footsteps that were approaching the climax, and they were already rushing towards the tent.

Something big is happening ahead?
In an instant, Niu Jinda and Zhang Yi thought of this question at the same time.

Otherwise, how could the visitor appear to be in such a hurry?
While the two were in a daze, two soldiers in heavy armor had appeared in the tent, and a loud voice still sounded: "Report, Jieli led an army of [-] to raid Pearl Four, and the four troops were wiped out."
