Chapter 368 Military Maps Are Like Real Landscapes

After completing the arrangement for Sun Xin's Supervisory Committee to enter Qingzhou, Murong Yanda talked about the second requirement. : "I also ask Sun Zhuangzhu to send Guizhuang's guards into Qingzhou City to defend, not just build a fort outside Qingzhou City."

Sun Xin shook his head and said: "We set up a camp on the mountain outside the city. If Qingzhou City is surrounded by bandits, there is still a chance to attack him from outside, and the outside of the city is wide and tight, so we can move freely. If we enter the city, tell the truth , we’re afraid we won’t be able to use it.”

Murong Yanda instantly understood what Sun Xin meant. He thought he had no initiative in the city, and he was afraid that he would be ordered by the Qingzhou government when he entered the city.

"Villager Sun can rest assured on this point. Once Zhuangzhu Sun's army enters the city, we will try our best to provide the Zhuangzhu with everything we need. We don't have many troops in Qingzhou City. When Hu Yanzhuo leaves, we have to rely on Zhuangzhuo If the Lord’s righteous soldiers participated in the guarding, if they were only outside the city, it would be somewhat urgent.”

Murong Yanda was very afraid that Sun Xin's soldiers and horses would stop outside the city and would not come to the city for rescue at critical moments, so he must let Sun Xin send more soldiers and horses into the city. According to Murong Yanda's idea, Sun Xin's When the army enters the city, even if it cannot be fought, it is good to use it to fill the line.

Hearing what he said, Sun Xin thought for a while, and made his own request: "It is fine to enter the city, but all the soldiers and horses we enter the city must obey our own orders, and I am afraid that we will have to build fortifications in the city. Can the magistrate agree?"

Murong Yanda hesitated when he heard the words. Once there is a large-scale construction project, it is definitely impossible for the guards to do it by themselves. They can't finish it by themselves, so they have to use the corvees in the city. Now that the corvees in the city are in short supply, should we do it for the guards? The military invested such resources?

He thought for a while, and asked first: "I wonder what kind of fortification Master Sun wants to build in the city, and how many people are needed?"

Sun Xin turned to the farmer behind him and said, "Bring me my map."

The farmer nodded and went out quickly, and soon after, he went outside to retrieve a set of scrolls.

Murong Yanda looked at the thick roll of map in Sun Xin's hands curiously, wondering how he could draw such a large map in Qingzhou City.

This city is not big, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to ride a horse from south to north.

And when Sun Xin led Murong Yanda to the book case and unfolded the big map, Murong Yanda stared straight after taking a look.

This map is carried by Sun Xin, and it is the most detailed map drawn under the technical level of the entire Dengzhou Supervisory Committee. It took half a month for a teacher, and after this kind of map was drawn, it was too fine.The requirements for printing are very strict, and now the printing workshop in Sunjiazhuang has set up a special team for printing this map. Even so, the number of maps printed is still very scarce, and a lot of manual marking and redrawing are still required.

Up to now, there are only three maps of Qingzhou with this accuracy in the entire protection army, and they are used by Sun Xin, Luan Tingyu and the staff of the headquarters respectively.

When Murong Yanda saw this map for the first time, he was shocked. Although there were many places he couldn't understand at all, he could subconsciously see that this map was very surprising. It was simply too detailed. Looking at his Qinzhou mansion from this angle, he didn't recognize it for a while.

It wasn't until Sun Xin roughly introduced the meaning of the contour line to him, and then pointed out the place names of several villages around Qingzhou Prefecture, that Murong Yanda finally understood the map.

After getting used to the contour lines for a while, Murong Yanda looked at the map and felt that the world on the map was three-dimensional, and the mountains, rivers and rivers were depicted in detail through the different contour lines.

Murong Yanda took a deep breath, he could imagine the process of drawing this map, but it was also because of this that he could understand how much manpower was needed for a map of this level with just a little thought.What's more, the idea of ​​this contour line has never been heard before, and now I can see that it must be of great benefit to the military.

What shocked him even more was that Sun Xin’s Sunjiazhuang actually had such technology, and he didn’t even have a copy of such a map. When he saw this map, he subconsciously wanted to ask Sun Xin for a copy. Obviously, this picture is also very precious, so I am embarrassed to open it for a while.

He took another look at Sun Xin's strength.With the combat effectiveness against the Baobao army, the level of judgment has also been raised.

On the map, all the camp formulas recently built by the Protectorate Army outside Qingzhou City have been marked. Looking at the location of the camp and the contour line, the assistant Murong Yanda seemed to see something.

At this time, Sun Xin also asked the farmer to take a charcoal pencil, marked the shooting range on the map, and began to explain to Murong Yanda.

To be honest, Sun Xin's level of homework on the map is average, but homework on the map is a skill that almost no one knows in this era, so Sun Xin's dwarf is selected as a general, and in this era he is a first-class master of homework on the map.

Even the students of the first batch of Sunjiazhuang Military Academy are not as good as him.

Sun Xin often uses the technique of the operation on the map when explaining the battle to everyone.

Because of this, this map was also specially processed by the printing workshop of the Supervisory Committee. Not only was the base of the printing made of high-quality sackcloth, but it was also covered with a layer of kiwi juice mixed with glutinous rice juice and other things. The mortar and kiwi fruit sap are specially used for papermaking in papermaking, and have strong water resistance, while the glutinous rice and lime in the badge can increase the color fastness on the map and play a certain role in isolation Effect.

Therefore, this map is the highest quality product of Sunjiazhuang Printing Workshop, and it can be modified by using charcoal drawing.

This kind of starched map has also been used in modern times, but the manufacturing cost is too high. The cost of this map alone is more than usual, and it is absolutely priceless.

The cost of the map is too high, and it is easy to damage the map if you scribble casually. In modern military academies, no matter which school has very strict requirements for the work of map drawing, one picks up a pen and draws on the map A staff officer who wastes a map by scribbling and doodles, but fails to clearly show the situation of both sides of the sergeant will definitely be scolded to death by the chief sergeant.

Fortunately, Sun Xin had learned relevant skills when he was a soldier. He did not have high command quality, but he still had the most basic staff quality. What effect did the new camp of several thousand men make outside the city.

He was surprised to see that the firepower released by those camps covered almost all the main points where the enemy troops gathered outside Qingzhou City. After trying to imagine the scene of the enemy attacking the city, Murong Yanda instantly understood that as long as the firepower in these few firepower points Ambush the army, use firearms, and when the enemy comes to the city of Qingzhou, they are almost caught in a net of heaven and earth.

However, he still had some doubts: "Is this firearm really able to hit so far?"

In Sun Xin's drawing, the range of the firearms used by his army is so far that Murong Yanda can't believe it. Not only is it several times beyond the range of the God Arm Crossbow, but according to his arrangement, these firearms can reach The effect of intensive killing.

You must know that although the magic arm crossbow has a long range, it takes several people to push the winch for a long time to fire an arrow. The firing efficiency is extremely slow when defending the city. Sun Xin's firearm can achieve such a great effect. Murong Yanda Can't help doubting this.

Sun Xin smiled, he must get Murong Yanda's help to defend the city, so he said: "Our bronze cannons have a range of more than 800 steps, of course the range of killing the enemy will not be very large, and more than [-] steps away The accuracy will also be lowered, but it is still feasible to pull out a few cannons and put them on the ground to disperse hundreds of enemies."

Murong Yanda was dubious when he heard the words, the range and accuracy of this shot had exceeded his imagination, but seeing Sun Xin's appearance, he knew that he had better choose to believe.

After seeing Sun Xin's map today, and seeing that Sun Xin's words were clear and logical, Murong Yanda's doubts about Sun Xin's original ignorance of soldiers were almost completely ignored. After the city, watchtowers can be built in the city, and Qingzhou Prefecture will provide all the manpower and supplies. However, at least another 1000 people must be sent into the city for protection.”

Although Murong Yanda was shocked by Sun Xin's military strength just now, he still had the idea of ​​wanting the protection army to enter the city to protect his Qingzhou.

Even though Sun Xin said that placing his army outside the city would be more effective, Murong Yanda still felt uneasy about the team he couldn't control.

No matter how effective it is, what if the army does not act according to Sun Xin's imagination when a war really starts?
What if his army fled outside the city at the first touch?
Although what he just said made him look forward to the fighting power of the protection army, but that expectation was also based on the premise of controlling this army under his own help.

However, Sun Xin originally wanted to build a few more bunkers in the city, even if the Qingzhou city was destroyed in the worst plan, at least it would be able to resist for a while, Sun Xin thought about it, and nodded in agreement.

In the end, the two parties agreed that in addition to the first battalion stationed in the city, Sun Xin would send a regiment of 1000 people into Qingzhou City. The soldiers of this regiment would build fortifications in the south of the city to prevent bandits from attacking from the south of the city at that time.

Murong Yanda also told Sun Xin that he wanted to use Sun Xin's troops to conquer Kongjia Village outside Qingzhou City.

After Murong Yanda gave a brief introduction, Sun Xin knew that Kong Bin, the rich man of the Kong family village, was the uncle of Kong Liang of Baihushan. Mu Yanda suspected that he had colluded with Baihushan, and Hu Yanzhuo was about to leave the city immediately. Murong Yanda didn't want to leave such a hidden danger outside Qingzhou city.
