Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 644 The Law of Defending the City
"Ice wall...Your Highness, you mean that you want to hang a thick layer of ice on the outside of this city wall," Xu Fengshuo pondered for a while, raised his hand and pointed at the stone wall, "to prevent the Western merchants Use flying claws and ropes to climb walls and attack the city?"

"Yes, Xishang is located in the depths of the desert, and most likely they are not good at fighting in the snow, nor do they know how to fight against the slippery ice surface." Ye Zhifeng said with curved lips.

"Furthermore, they fought all the way from the western region to this place. Although their morale is high, the soldiers' bodies will inevitably feel a little tired after traveling long distances."

"In this way, even if there are a few lucky ones who hook the flying claw on the ice occasionally, they probably don't have the ability to climb the wall."

"Of course, even if someone climbs up, we won't be afraid. We just cut off the rope before he comes up——the ice is not easy to find any point of strength."

"It's about how to deal with the enemy's ladders and rushing cars..." The girl narrowed her eyes, thinking about what Mu Xici had explained to her in the letter, and lightly stroked her palm.

"We can use water to pour a small ice slope on the ground outside the city. In this way, the wheels of the ladder and the rushing car will slip on the ice and it will not be easy to rush over."

"In addition, let the soldiers gather more snowballs with snow and stones. Once the people of the Western Merchants want to use artillery carts or push the carts to the city, we will immediately throw these snowballs with catapults. go out."

"The medicine letters of the cannon carts are most afraid of getting wet, and the men and horses standing on the ice are also most afraid of slipping and losing their stability. As long as we can silence the opposite cannon carts and prevent the rushing carts from reaching the city gate, dragging a In a day and a half, the troops on the opposite side can be reduced by at least half."

Military strategists are used to attacking cities quickly, and being unable to attack for a long time will affect morale the most.

If they could make the Western Merchants return empty-handed after a few strong attacks at first, the Western Merchants' army would definitely be shaken and weak in the future.

In this way, it will be much easier for them to defend the capital later.

"Hmm... Your Highness's method is quite feasible." The veteran murmured in response, and then frowned after thinking for a while, "It's just that Your Highness, I still have one thing I don't understand."

"If the other side abandons the ropes, flying claws and ladders, and replaces them with a wall—how should we deal with this?"

"Then pour water down their heads." Ye Zhifeng said coldly, a sternness rarely flashed in his always clear and clean amber eyes, "If they dare to come, we dare to put them in clothes Take people, and stick to the wall together—”

"It's a big deal, wait until the people are almost sticky, and then use the Spike to shoot them all!"

"The weather in the left and right northern borders is so cold, even if you can't stick them to death, you can freeze them to death—"

"That's true." The old general nodded, then raised his arms to Ye Zhifeng and cupped his hands slightly, "Well, Your Highness, since you have finished the arrangements, I will take the soldiers to separate teams, boil water, and pour ice on the wall. gone!"

"Okay, remember to boil hot water first, wait for the hot water to melt and freeze the snow on the wall, then we will change to warm water and slowly pour it down from the wall." Ye Zhifeng nodded.

"This ice wall and ice slope, we must fix it before the Western Merchants attack tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, look well, let's go right away!" Several generals nodded heavily, then quickly turned down the tower, gathered all the soldiers, and went to boil water in groups.

The efficiency of everyone working together was quite high. After a short while, the buckets of hot water were continuously delivered to the city wall.

The people still hiding in the city were influenced by them, and they also spontaneously moved out their own pots and pans that could hold water and snow, and tried their best to help the soldiers toss the ice wall and snowball.

Some elderly people and women and children who are not used to having much strength can't move the water basin, so they take the initiative to get together.

A group of people took out the winter food they had stored for a long time at home and were reluctant to take it out easily, lit a fire to cut the meat, made a good hot meal for the soldiers, and stewed several large pots of hot soup.

With the help of the common people, the speed of pouring the ice wall has been accelerated. In the past few months due to the civil war in the country, the capital city of Hanze, which had become empty and dead, suddenly became lively again.

The streets and alleys are full of busy figures carrying water basins and shoveling snow with shovels, and wisps of green cooking smoke rose in the air for a long time.

The aroma of the food in the cauldron permeated the whole city. Riding on the wind, the aroma sneaked into a small shop with closed doors and windows above the market, seducing Ye Tianhan, who had been hiding in it for half a month He swallowed his saliva.

"What's the smell, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?" Ye Tianhan, who was looking out from the crack of the window, grabbed the little guard who had just entered the room, and threw a series of questions, "The three Is this idiot finished?"

In the past few months, he has been almost suffocated.

In order to avoid the pursuers sent by Ye Tianlin and others, the richest prince in Hanze changed his extravagant style and almost turned himself into an ordinary servant in the mansion.

Fearing that the aroma of delicacies from mountains and seas would attract too much attention, he resisted eating with the shop assistants; fearing that the fine silk clothes would be too eye-catching, he insisted on wearing them with the guards.

He has been hiding in various shops in the imperial capital for two months. He feels that his body is dirty like a dog, his mouth has faded out of a bird, and his whole body is about to collapse.

Therefore, today he unexpectedly heard such excitement outside the house, and he was naturally aroused full of curiosity——

In particular, the smell of the delicious food made him itch like a cat scratching his heart. He wished he could run out immediately to see who was making delicious food, and when he came back, he would let the cooks Make it for him to eat!
"No, my lord, it's Her Majesty the Holy Maiden who took everyone to do fortifications." The little guard shook his head and explained to Ye Tianhan in a low voice, "They said that the people from the Western Merchants have already reached the capital today, and they will be able to attack us tomorrow." Ze Guodu."

"At present, all the soldiers in the city have turned against each other. Everyone is following Her Royal Highness, preparing to face the enemy and defend the city tomorrow."

"My lord, tell me, should we also help out?" said the little guard, looking at Ye Tianhan expectantly.

The latter was unmoved when he heard the words, and Gu Zi grinned coldly: "How can I help you, what can I do?"

"Then Ye Zhifeng can't bear to think about defending the imperial city to the death, so let her defend it. Wouldn't it be nice for us to wait for the people from the Western Merchants to fight these fools in the city, and then go out and be a profiteer?"

"No, this kind of stupid thing, whoever wants to do it, anyway, I won't go." Ye Tianhan waved his hands, while triumphantly telling the guards about his "grand plan".

In a corner that he didn't notice, the little guard's eyes were getting lower and lower, and finally when the inch-thick hemp rope was suddenly tied to Ye Tianhan's body, the latter was still struggling and yelling.

"Are you crazy? Why tie me up? Let go, let me go!"

"Damn it, you bastards, when this king ascends the throne in the future, you will definitely... Hey~ What are you doing with a rag? Uh, uh-"

In the end, Ye Tianhan was successfully sent to the small side hall where Ye Tianlin and others were locked up. The storekeepers under his name also opened their doors, released medicine and cloth for the common people and soldiers, and opened granaries.

With the help of merchants, the construction of the ice wall became faster and faster. People in the entire capital were busy all day, and finally poured every section of the ice wall before night fell.

It was night, Ye Zhifeng wrapped her cloak and boarded the tower, she looked up at the stars all over the sky, and then raised her eyes to the mountains and snowy sea in the distance.

Countless black shadows swayed quietly outside the snow river, and at dawn, the sky was suddenly covered with a touch of frost.

She squeezed the frozen city wall under her hands, and slowly pursed her lips.

——The moment of defending the city.
