Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 238 Wizard
City walls have always played an important role in human wars.

Before the emergence of gunpowder and guns, they had always been weapons used by farming civilizations for defense.

As long as there are sufficient reserves, the defenders under the protection of the city wall often have a huge advantage.

For many years, the nomads outside the Great Wall would not rashly trade their lives for the city, but Tadun was different.

After Tadun married the Yuan family, a large number of craftsmen were sent outside the Great Wall.

These craftsmen brought with them the skills to create large siege engines.

This made him think he had the capital to conquer the city.

But Tadun's confidence was of no use when facing Lu Longsai.

Lu Longsai was the product of Gongsun Yan's murderous paranoia, so he fully utilized the resources at hand.

Regardless of the city construction or the food and military supplies in the city, even if Zhao Xi is not there, it is enough to stop the enemies outside the wall for three to five years.

In the past few days, Tadun's troops had broken their halberds and sunk in the sand, chewing until their mouths were full of blood, and they could not touch the bricks and stones under the city.

The biting cold wind from the north blew, carrying fine ice particles and beating on the armor leaves of the Lulong defenders.

Compared with the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood piled up below the city, the atmosphere above the city wall was very relaxed.

In a corner building, a bubbling copper hot pot is placed on a square table.

Xia Houlan has become a fan of hot pot since eating it in Lone Bamboo.

Although it's always spicy, I never touch the clear soup.

Knowing his preferences, Gongsun Yan specially sent Lu Long a lot of information when arranging military supplies.

Xia Houlan was on the tower, taking Zhao Xi and the chief clerk Liu Luan to cook hot pot together.

The three of them sat across from each other. After eating and drinking, Liu Luan and Zhao Xiqian drank a few glasses of cheese sent by Guzhu.

Outside the door, a bearded man with a bruised nose and swollen face was tied up.

Xia Houlan is not Zhao Yun who is always very cautious.

While defending the city and occupying an almost insurmountable advantage, Xia Houlan felt a little bored.

Leading the retinue, he was cruising outside Lulong Fortress and caught a strange man.

"Gentlemen, please." Xia Houlan said, but did not lift the wine glass, but took a chopstick of mutton.

Military law states that no one can drink alcohol during wartime.

Xia Houlan would not disobey orders in public and put all his energy into the pot in front of him.

When stirred with chopsticks, the spicy and delicious flavor fills the air.

Gollum—

"Didn't I say that you Han people are the most observant of etiquette?" Mudo lay on the ground, his stomach making a loud growl.

His face turned red, and he said bravely in blunt Chinese: "You said you would invite me to be your guest before, so why are you tying me here to eat alone?"

Xia Houlan didn't expect that he would remember such a casual remark when he was arrested, and he laughed twice: "Are you hungry?"

Mudo buried his head on the gray-white cement floor and said nothing.

"Then you'll be hungry." Xia Houlan was not a fastidious person from a famous family.

Zhao Xi and Liu Luan are both here. If he is easily provoked and the two gentlemen make any mistake, he will not be able to pay for his sin by wiping his neck.

So Xia Houlan brought a bowl full of mutton, mixed with chive sauce, and finished it in front of Mudo.

When the barbarian in front of him got full of smell, he chopped him up and hung him on the wall.

I don't know if he noticed Xiahoulan's sinister intentions, but Mu Duo suddenly raised his head: "I am willing to surrender."

Xia Houlan was stunned for a moment, then smiled. There were not many captured Hu people who would rather die than surrender, and nine out of ten of them were willing to surrender.

But there are still very few people who are so obedient and take the initiative.

Just as Xia Houlan was about to ask someone to lift him off, his hair was shaved and he was sent to a labor camp to receive reform education.

Mudo seemed to be worried that Xiahou Lan was unwilling to surrender and must let him sacrifice to heaven, so he said: "I am familiar with the situation of each tribe, which can come in handy."

Xia Houlan was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and turned to look at Zhao Xi and Liu Luan.

"Then are you familiar with the road outside the Great Wall?" Zhao Xi asked.

"Familiar." Mudo replied.

"Can you find the way to each tribe?" Liu Luan asked.

Mudo nodded again.

"Even if the mountains are blocked by heavy snow in winter?"

Mu Duo was startled for a moment, and just as he was about to nod, his expression suddenly changed as if he thought of something.

Xia Houlan, who had been observing his expression, laughed easily and said to Zhao Xi: "The guide Zilong wanted has been found."

Zhao Xi also smiled, twirling the beard on his chin, and his eyes fell on Mu Duo, who looked stunned: "If you are not very honest, I will trouble Zixiu and send him to a labor camp, and I will teach you personally."

Xia Houlan smiled and cupped his hands and said, "No."

When he raised his head again, there was a sound of horns and bone flutes coming from outside the city.

The bronze bell on the corner tower was rung.

The whining sound of the horn spread all around.

Xia Houlan stood up and stretched, picked up the bag from the table and held it in the crook of his arm.

On the city wall, groups of spearmen started running, but more of them were crossbowmen.

Later, crossbows and rockets will streak across the sky, mercilessly harvesting the enemy's lives.

Xia Houlan stood on the city wall, looking at the barbarians swarming like ants in the distance through the thorn net tangled with iron thorns, and smiled easily.

Finally, I discussed with the kind-hearted editor to give up the full attendance bonus and give it a chance to finish writing.

The young lady changed the finished state back to me again!I’m so sad, it’s my own fault. I’m the author and it’s completely free ()σ)
