Chapter 969

During the construction of the new city, other aspects of the construction may not be satisfactory, but on the city wall, they are not slack and devote themselves wholeheartedly.

On the basis of the original structure, we also took the huge stone structure mined by the small world. The wall is 100 feet high, which is strong and durable. Moreover, there is a blockhouse every 500 meters on the wall, which can accommodate 100 shooters.

From a distance, it's quite magnificent, although it's a little bit of Jinyu after entering the city, which means that it's a disgrace.

In addition to the city wall, there is kuandahe City excavated by nearly 10000 soldiers who were captured in Jiangcheng before. In the river, sprouts are planted to cultivate a kind of bomb plant with toxic spines, which is like durian.

If anyone wants to cross the river, he will be pierced and die.

Because the instruments of the Dawes family have not been sent down from the Wu family, there is no equipment for guarding the city for the time being.

However, under the distribution of Chen Fang, the blacksmith shop made every effort to prepare thousands of iron pots and a large amount of raw materials for boiling gold juice.

There are also many rolling stones from the small world.

These arrangements, of course, are Chen Fang's copy of the flower family's ancient preparation for the layout of the city.

I don't know if it will work, but I think it will come in handy.

After all, the world war is backward, and there are few siege equipment.

Some of them are core energy cannons, but they are too heavy to move with the army. The small ones are not powerful enough. It's useful to hit the walls that have not been reinforced. If you hit the walls that are hundreds of meters high and tens of meters wide, it's Marble hitting the walls, which has no effect.

In addition to the core energy cannon, the only thing that can make the wall useless is the flying troops.

It's a pity that now, except for the imperial families in the big federal city or in the south, they can gather up some flying troops, there are no other places to think about. It's good to have two or three flying beasts, let alone a combat force.

Maybe in the future, after the Griffins are cultivated in the new town, there will be a flying army, but now, don't think about those ordinary cities.

So to a large extent, when the army of Hecheng came here to attack the city, they would choose to hit the gate and mount the ladder to the top of the city just like the flower growers did in ancient times. Chen Fang's arrangement was probably useful.

With the coming of the war, everyone was very nervous. As the days passed by, the scouts began to send back the information of the army of Hecheng, the tension became more and more obvious.

Of course, there are two kinds of tension.

A sense of fear, like that of ordinary city dwellers, they are afraid.

I'm afraid that the city will break down and I'm afraid of being killed.

The other is not fear, but spiritual excitement.

For example, in the army, the soldiers who came from the former Jiangcheng were in high spirits. They wished that the army of the former Jiangcheng would come to the city immediately, so that they could take revenge.

Compared with the ordinary citizens and soldiers, the high-level of the new town is more pressure.

After all, a hundred thousand troops will be on the way to the city. Those who say that there is no pressure are not only stupid but also bold.

Well, when it comes to people who are under the most pressure, it's Chen Fang.

As the strategist and commander-in-chief of this battle, more than 30000 people's lives are on their shoulders. Naturally, the pressure is enormous.

Therefore, Chen Fang ran to the city wall during the day to see if there were any omissions. At night, he reviewed the combat strategy again and again to see if there were any loopholes or flaws. There was almost no time to rest.

Charming several women see naturally distressed, but also did not stop, we all know, now is not the time to relax.

Eight days later, the scouts reported that the army of Hecheng was stationed near the wild Lake in the north, which had a strong sense of existence but had never been named.

After getting the news, Chen Fang secretly went to check once, and saw a lot of dense tents.

This kind of situation is naturally in Chen Fang's estimation. That night, he took the tree demon warrior and set fire.

It's a pity that the fire started, but the effect was not very good. No night attack troops were arranged to attract attention and harass. The fire was put out soon after it started, causing few casualties.

But it's not that it doesn't work.

Although not many people were burned to death, the places where Chen Fang specially visited to store grain and grass were burned to a great extent. At least 100000 people had two days' rations.

Even though it's only two days, if one person is one kilo a day, 100000 people will consume at least 100000 kilograms in two days.

In the early days of an army's expedition, we need to be prepared in advance for the consumption of grain and grass, and we will bring different amounts of grain and grass according to the estimation of the war.

Just as in Hecheng, this time, the 100000 troops only took 135 days, only enough food and grass for the road and three days' fighting at most.

The reason why there are so few is that they think they can win the new town in this period of time.

As long as the city is occupied, it happens to be after the autumn harvest. There must be no lack of food in the city. Naturally, there is no need to prepare too much.

The calculation was good, but Chen Fang's burning made heles, the commander of the army in Hecheng very angry, and killed 100 irresponsible guards.No, I can't.

More than 60% of the grain and grass has been consumed in the March. This time, two days' rations will be burned. Now, the army of Hecheng has only four or five days' rations at most.

Next, it will take at least one day for the army to go to the new town.

It's impossible to launch a siege immediately when we get there. We can't rest for a day's journey to replenish. It will take at least a day and a half.

If the war goes well and it takes only a little time to capture the new town, naturally there will be no problem.

But if it takes three or four days and there is no food, what will happen?

Hayes didn't dare to think.

Is he sure to attack the new town in a short time?

At first, he did not know the wall of the new town, so he was sure.

But just in the morning, the scouts sent out reported that after the town had built a hundred Zhang high wall, he was not so confident that he could fight down.

He estimated that it would take a whole day for the soldiers to attack and stand firm in the city.

But then Chen Fang burned a fire in the evening, which made Hayes realize that there were smart people in the small town who actually knew how to burn food and grass. With such people, the other party must have made more full preparations for guarding the city.

This made him change the estimated day into two days.

And that's exactly the bottom line.

Hayes is now in a dilemma.

Stay where you are and ask someone to go back to inform Hecheng that supplies will be delivered. However, it is conservatively estimated that the army on his side will be hungry for at least two days when food and grass are delivered.

If we don't eat these two days, the soldiers are not crazy enough to blow up the camp. If the town takes this opportunity to send soldiers to the camp, the loss will be heavy.

Continue to march towards the small town, and fight in front of the city. I'm afraid that I won't take the other side's city before the food and grass are exhausted. Without food and grass supplies, the soldiers will be hungry and have no strength to fight.

"Damn, pull out the bodies of these people and chop them up for me to feed the dog."

The annoyed Hayes looked at the dead guards on the ground and said fiercely.

On the other hand, his subordinates were stunned and asked foolishly, "my Lord, we don't have any dogs. Can we feed the variant animals to the cavalry?"

Hayes heard immediately angry, "come on, pull him to feed the dog together for me."

"Spare your life, my Lord."

His men begged for mercy, but the angry HELLES didn't pay any attention at all. He was dragged away by the soldiers.

"Hum."

Hayes left and went back to his tent. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to call the guards outside the tent.

"Give the order to the camp. Don't make breakfast tomorrow."

"We also ordered the whole army to set out early tomorrow morning, speed up their advance, and stop halfway."

The guard was ordered to leave.

After the order, Hayes stood in the tent with his hands behind his back, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.

Ha ha, I'm as smart as I am. I've saved two rations. I can last another day, and I'm sure I'll have the bottom.
