"Wang Chong, although he is far less heroic than his father and ancestors, he has been fighting against the Huns for so many years, and the soldiers under his command are extremely powerful. You don't have to worry about them in the short term. look here!"
While Zhang Shisan was speaking, he brushed a few strokes again and drew the direction of the Yellow River and the trend of the Great Wall on the ground.
By the way, the border between the Dai Kingdom and the Huns was also drawn. Liu Deng was certainly aware of everything nearby, but for a while, he still didn't understand the old man's intention clearly.
¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡±
Liu Deng asked a little strangely.
"If you station a large army here, what do you think the Huns will do?"
The old man said with a strange smile.
"here?"
Liu Deng hesitated for a moment. Although the location where the old man pointed the branch was not far from the Great Wall, it was already more than 300 miles beyond the Great Wall anyway.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And the terrain is a wide open area with no danger to defend. It is not easy to gain a foothold there.
Although there are several small rivers nearby, the water source problem can be solved, and the water and grass are abundant, and the fodder for the war horses can be solved on the spot in a short time.
But can the Han army really hold on?
??A place in the Fourth War, no matter how important the geographical location is, it is not easy to defend it!
It is still hard to hit the iron. The biggest problem now is that you are not hard enough
If these soldiers under Liu Deng fight in the city, they are guaranteed to beat the shit out of the Huns. Kill one one, kill two, and kill a pair. There will be absolutely no problem.
But if we really set up a battle array and fight the Huns in the wild, God knows what will happen in the end.
Now the only trump card in his hand is the gunpowder weapon that has not yet been unveiled, but the power of this thing is really limited.
It is estimated that it is in this kind of open terrain. After all, due to the current technological limitations, it is already a great thing that they can produce black powder for military application.
In such an empty land, unless he used gunpowder weapons on a large scale, there was no way to cause serious harm to the Huns.
"After all, all the Huns are cavalry. If they can't defeat them, why can't they run away?"
The boundless Xiongnu grassland provided them with a vast battlefield.
Even in several battles, Liu Deng took advantage of it and captured a large number of horses. However, cavalry cannot be trained in a day or two. If a person wants to be proficient in riding skills, he must at least It takes about a year.
Coupled with the tactics on horseback and the large-scale group charge of the cavalry, everything takes time. It is really impossible for the cavalry of the Dai Kingdom to compare with the Huns in a short period of time.
Even in the last battle, the Han army's cavalry tried their best and defeated the Huns.
But that was because the Huns did not know the combat power of the Han army, so they gave the Han army an opportunity to take advantage of it. Now that they have a general understanding of the combat power of the Han army, it is almost impossible to win such a victory. impossible things.
"Sir, there is no danger to defend here. The terrain is too open. Our soldiers may not be able to defend this place. If we have to occupy it by force, we may encounter strange disasters"
Liu Deng couldn¡¯t help but said with a wry smile.
"How did you die? Have you forgotten the thing you invented called cement? As long as you can occupy this place for a month and recruit 30,000 to 50,000 civilians, can't you build four walls here? ?¡±
The old man blinked and looked at Liu Deng with an expression that looked like he was a fool.
Liu Deng suddenly understood, how could he have forgotten this
If you look carefully at the terrain around here, you will see that the terrain is open and there is a water source nearby, which is very suitable for building a city.
But the only problem is the production of cement. Cement is more than enough to supply the construction of the academy at this time, but when it comes to casting the city, it is not easy to transport such a large scale.
"The few small rivers nearby can solve the sand problem. You can only bring wood and other materials there, but there is one thing that you kid may not know yet!"
Zhang Shisan smiled and took out a cloth bag from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Deng.
Liu??I couldn't help but be a little surprised, what on earth is this old guy doing?
"This is?"
After Liu Deng reached out to take it, he felt that the thing was very heavy in his hand. It felt like a stone
"Open it and see for yourself!"
Zhang Shisan was triumphant and winked at Liu Deng.
Liu Deng was a little confused, so he didn¡¯t know what the old guy was doing, but he still opened the cloth bag curiously, and a stone glowing with white light was revealed from inside.
??After drawing on the ground, he could leave an obvious white mark and a piece of limestone. Liu Deng was a little surprised. I don¡¯t know what the old man meant by this?
But Liu Deng soon thought of a possibility and looked at the old man with surprise and disbelief.
"That's right, someone dug this piece of land a month ago! You only need to dig less than three feet between the two rivers to get a large amount of limestone!"
Zhang Shisan directly confirmed Liu Deng¡¯s idea. Liu Deng couldn¡¯t help but gasped. The intelligence network behind the old man was really powerful.
You must know that even until now, there are only a few people in the entire country who know the cement formula.
This old man could even get the cement formula without saying a word, and he actually started doing his homework a month in advance
The viciousness of this look is really shocking
"Sir, are you serious about what you say?"
Liu Deng¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. If there was a lot of limestone there, cement could be fired on the spot!
After all, this is a grassland, and the soil is relatively soft. The direction of the river can be changed directly by human power. With water and cement and sand, how difficult is it to build a city with only city walls?
They don¡¯t need the buildings in the city at all, and the city doesn¡¯t need to be too big. After all, this is just a military city. As long as it can garrison more than 10,000 troops, it is enough!
With more than 10,000 garrison troops and more than 30,000 civilians, after the construction of the city is completed, the buildings inside are slowly being completed!
As long as a cement kiln can be guaranteed, what kind of building can¡¯t be built?
