Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 227: Impenetrable (two more)
"So we need to eat vegetables to clear our stomachs, and we don't have night blindness." Hong Lianshuojun looked at them and said with his dark and bright eyes.

"That kind of variety, grow vegetables." Cao Huaimin nodded his head like garlic.

"Ms. Hong and Mrs. Hong, if you are growing vegetables, you can plant pumpkins and loofahs to make them climb along the wall. They don't touch the ground." Hao Jinzhi said with a red face looking at her.

"Okay!" Hong Lianshuo nodded with a smile, "Han Xin ordered this kind of dish, the more the better, not only in every household, but also in the yamen. Every corner of the city is used."

"Have we finished planting so many crops?" Cao Huaimin said, dumbfounded.

"I'm not afraid that it's not enough! It can't be eaten and dried, store it, and eat it in winter! Winter and spring are the times when the green and yellow are gone. Except for the wheat seedlings, there is no greenery in the fields." Hong Lianshuo raised his eyebrows and looked at them. , "At this stage, we are short on food, so we should eat more vegetables and less food."

"Haha..." Cao Huaimin shook his head and laughed when he heard the words, she really belonged to her.

"Miss Hong, Madam Hong, hurry up and talk about attacking and defending the city!" Cao Yuanshan said anxiously, and the little guy said aggressively, "We grow this dish."

"Okay, let me tell you why it's so easy to defend the city!" Hong Lianshuo's dark pupils shone with shreds of light as he looked at their attentive faces and said, "Why do you say that you need to build cities? The city walls are still being built. It's so thick!"

Cao Yuanshan's dark eyes turned around, "Of course it's to defend the city."

"Yeah!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them peacefully and said, "Usually, the side attacking the city needs to dispatch more troops? At least three times as many troops as the defending side can successfully take the city. Take this city down."

Hong Lianshuo poured water on the low table with his pottery bowl, and drew the city wall on the short table with his index finger, "This city wall is not just a simple wall. It should be regarded as a defensive system for organic action. It is not an offensive system. The people of the city take the ladder and put it on the city wall, and everything will be fine if you step up. How can it be possible that there are only archers on the defensive side!"

"What's that?" the children asked curiously.

"The city wall of Yandu City is [-] feet high, and it is as tall as four or five adults. It's not that easy to think about the generous and tortuous walls of the city wall." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said.

"Mother is fine." Hong Wangyue looked at her with adoring eyes full of little stars and said.

"Boy, there are a few like me in this world." Hong Lianshuo looked at him funny and said.

"My mother said that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people." Hong Wangyue said with a small mouth.

Hong Lianshuo looked at him in astonishment, pointed his index finger to the tip of his nose and said, "Even if you're right, fighting a war is not a matter of one person or a few people. He was done by many people."

"Oh!" Hong Wangyue nodded obediently, "Mother continue."

"There should be a lot of horse faces on the city wall." Hong Lianshuo said as he looked at them with his dark eyes as black as ink, and drew the horse faces on the city wall with his fingers dipped in water.

"Ms. Hong said that the two chapters "Bei Lai" and "Bei Gao Lin" in the "Mozi" of the horse face, the Xingcheng mentioned in it is the horse face." Cao Huaimin suddenly remembered and looked at her and said.

"Yes! I found out that we don't have one on the city wall." Hong Lianshuo tapped his fingers a few times, "Stand one at sixty paces, jump out of the city without losing [-] feet, and look at the corner of the city on both sides of the wide and narrow place. There is a building. This distance is just within the effective range of the bow and arrow!" The index finger pointed at the horse facing the wall and said, "In this way, it interacts with the city wall to eliminate the dead angle under the city, and attack the enemy from top to bottom from three sides." His eyes looked at him and said, "This horse face can be hollow."

"Hollow?" Cao Huaimin said, rubbing his chin.

"Is the existing city wall repaired with rammed earth and bluestone outside?" Hong Lianshuo crossed his brow with his index finger and said, "Now that we have red bricks, the city wall can be built into a hollow on the horse's surface. This hollow is not empty. , you can build a warehouse, go up and down through the ladder, there are pillars, floors, food, ordnance in the well…”

Cao Huaimin looked at her with green light in his eyes and said, "This is a dual-purpose fortress that integrates combat, military supplies, and ordnance!"

"Crack!" Hong Lianshuo stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers smartly, "Right! If we want to repair Yandu City, we don't have to call, we have to retreat to the mountains." He looked at them firmly and said, "To save our home."

These days, Hong Lianshuo has seen a lot of drawings in the government office. With the addition of red bricks, he has gradually formed his mind about defense.

"It's just that the size is suitable, you have to calculate." Cao Huaimin said seriously, twisting his three strands of beard.

"The distance between the built horses is [-] to [-] paces, which is within the effective range of the bow and crossbow." Hong Lianshuo rubbed his index finger against the tip of his nose and said, "This Chengtian Street Road is afraid of being stabbed, and it is also based on the effective range of the bow and arrow. "

"You know this." Cao Huaimin looked at her in surprise and said.

"It's wider than other streets in the city, so I can only think of the number of steps I take." Hong Lianshuo looked at him and said with his inky eyes, and tapped his index finger on the wall of the still-dry horse face. There are stacking walls, and the stacking walls on the left and right sides have stacks, which are convenient for throwing bricks and stones, and releasing arrows to prevent the enemy from attacking the city. Prevent arrows from hurting people under the city. The distance between the horses and the faces is 120 steps." The index finger dipped in water and drew the road, "The intersection of firepower is 60 steps, which are exactly the throwing weapons such as bows, crossbows, flying hooks, throwing guns, and smashing stones. Therefore, outside the main wall, a group of high-altitude dense cross-fire nets are formed between the front and the two sides, which improves the defensive function of the city wall.”

Cao Huaimin twitched his beard and nodded, "This horse is good! For those of us who are tight on food and wages, this is the best."

As expected of the people who lived in Mincao, he lived his life carefully.Hong Lianshuo slandered in his heart: What the horse faces is the reflection of the military needs in the city wall in the cold weapon era, and it provides the possibility of using troops and weapons in the most economical and reasonable way.

Hong Lianshuo looked at Cao Huaimin with eyes like glazed beads and said, "In this way, in order to enhance the horse's defense and warfare capabilities, there are usually enemy towers above the horse's surface, which can not only station troops and look out, but also store weapons, so that the walls of the city wall can be protected. The defense performance is developed to the highest point. On each horse face of the city wall, a two-story enemy building with double eaves is built to guard troops. In wartime, it can be used to watch the enemy and observe the characteristics of its protruding and tall buildings. The situation of the enemy can prevent the enemy from detouring and attacking the city. It can also rely on the cross firepower of the enemy building from the front and between the left and right floors to snipe the enemy, connect the dots and lines at any time, and weave a tight high-altitude firepower network to effectively attack the enemy. "Will The enemy building was painted.
