Because whether the wall can be built before the war is directly related to whether the idea that you want to benefit the wall fortifications and consume a lot of Tatar’s effective strength can be realized.

When Wei Zheng learned from Liu Jizhong that there was still a week left, the two-mile wall could be built before, and the defender’s face quickly showed a complex expression full of surprises and dignity
The surprise is that this city wall will be completed five days before the scheduled construction period.
The worry is whether the Dalai Lama, who has found himself, will give himself five days before attacking himself after the completion of the construction of this wall.
Seeing the ever-changing facial expression of Wei Zheng, Wang Feng timely added, "General, the day before yesterday afternoon, after we beat back the attack of the Tatars, the Tatars left 50 cavalry to monitor us and then led the rest of the cavalry to leave here quickly."
"Not surprisingly, I must have gone to their main force for help. According to the speed of the horses, the main force of Dalai should have known the news of our troops stationed in Mushroom Valley at noon yesterday at the latest."
"If the Tatars want to destroy us in a short time, they must have sent troops to us now."
Wei Zhengshen replied, "That is to say, the Tatars will definitely attack us before the completion of the construction of our city wall."
Wang Fengda affirmed that "it will definitely be like this according to the marching speed of the main forces of the Tatars, even if they have a large number of siege equipment, they will be able to arrive outside Mushroom Valley in three days at the latest."
"If the main forces of the Tatars didn’t carry siege equipment, they could still get to Mushroom Valley the day before, and then the Tatars will definitely attack us before our walls are completed."
When I heard this, an unprecedented decisive expression quickly appeared on Wei Zheng’s face and said firmly to everyone, "We must persist in five days and the wall will be built. No matter when the Tatars attack us, we must ensure that the wall will continue to be built until it is completed."
"This upcoming battle will definitely not end in just a few days. If there is no intact wall to protect us, we will never be able to keep the mushroom valley or even the mountain base."
"No matter how the Tatars attack us, we must ensure the safety and protection of the city wall. More than 1,000 young people continue to build the city wall."
Wei Zheng’s words are firm and there is no room for negotiation.
But in front of Kelly Y Zhou and Wang Feng and others, they frowned and lost in thought.
At this time, Kelly Y Zhou fulfilled his military adviser’s duties for the first time, and he woke up with a face of worry about Wei Zheng. "General, it’s a smooth road outside the mushroom valley. If we give up the wall and fight with the Tatars, it’s a field battle with the Tatars."
"When the Tiger and Leopard Army was just expanding, I said that the army had an absolute strength advantage in previous battles with the Tatar cavalry. The army never blocked the attack of the Tatar cavalry with firearms."
"Even the battle-hardened border troops can’t stop the Tatar cavalry in the field, and it’s only half a month to train us."
"More importantly, although we have a musket battalion, there are more than 200 people who can really participate in the war …"
"I don’t think I have this thing with more than two hundred matchlock guns blocking the Tatar cavalry in the field …"
After Kelly Y Zhou finished, Wang Feng followed closely and supported, "General, I support the strategist’s opinion. Please think twice …"
Wei Zheng waved his hand, all eyes were fixed on a confident face and said, "Who told you that I was going to fight with the Tatars … Besides, even if I planned to fight with the Tatars, I was sure of winning, otherwise I would never let hundreds of soldiers die in vain at the hands of the Tatars cavalry …"
With that, Wei Zheng fell into deep thought and began to think about the classic examples of infantry defeating cavalry in the field after the musket was fired
Suddenly, Wei Zheng closed his eyes, suddenly opened his shirt and shot it out quickly. He cried with excitement, "With us, we can build trenches on the battlefield …"
"Through a special trench, the trench group slows down the attack speed of the Tatar cavalry and arranges our few firearms in each trench step by step to maximize the limited firepower, eat the Tatar attack troops bit by bit and let the Tatar leave a few bodies every step forward …"
"If you want to maximize the benefits of the trenches, you can definitely benefit the Tatar cavalry from underestimating their enemies, which will give them a blow and make them pay a heavy price."
Seeing Kelly Y Zhou and Wang Feng’s faces flash across the puzzled expression, Wei Zheng directly picked up a branch and drew a schematic diagram of the trench group …
After the width is more than one foot and the depth is three feet, and the excavated soil is piled up to the enemy side three feet away from the edge of the trench to form a retaining wall trench with a height of three feet, it will be displayed in front of the two people.
The puzzled expression on two faces is even stronger …
It’s like discussing it, generally asking Wei Zheng at the same time, "General, can this work …"
Chapter 57 Teaching in combat
"Absolutely …" Weizheng answered with a confident face.
The branches in their hands drew the schematic cross-section of trenches and retaining walls conveniently, and explained patiently with a full face of self-confidence as if a teacher taught students.
"You see, this is a three-foot retaining wall, and it can also serve as our first line of defense breast wall, so that this earth wall can cover us as much as possible."
"When the Tatar cavalry rushed 50 meters away, the soldiers who defended the first-line retaining wall retreated along the traffic trench to the second trench or retaining wall."
See two faces because of’ traffic trenches’ these three words again show confused expression Wei Zheng continued to explain.
"The’ traffic trench’ I’m talking about is not a complicated thing, but a trench connecting the front and rear trenches and the retaining wall. This trench needs to be dug to a depth of two to three feet, but it must be dug to a depth of one person, so that when the soldiers bend down along the traffic trench to retreat, they can completely hide themselves. The trench will not be attacked by Tatar archers."
"After we withdraw from the first retaining wall, the Tatar cavalry will directly face the defense line we just gave up."
"What will you do if you think the arrogant Tatar cavalry is blocked by a retaining wall more than three feet high?"
"Jumping directly …" Kelly Y Zhou, a strategist, replied without thinking about it.
Wei Zheng nodded his head to show his approval. After a pair of eyes quickly shot out two clothes, he replied with a deep face, "Yes, the prancing horse jumped over and I want the Tatar prancing horse to jump over this retaining wall."
Speaking Wei Zheng has picked up the branch retaining wall profile and drawn an arc to show that the Tatar cavalry pranced over the retaining wall.
Then pointed to the arc opening and analyzed, "As far as I know, the jumping distance of the Tatar cavalry can reach five meters in the sprint process, so we will calculate it according to five meters."
"When the Tatar cavalry jumps two meters away from the retaining wall and crosses the three-foot retaining wall, it will fly forward for at least two to three meters before landing."
"What is the distance between two and three meters behind the retaining wall on the ground profile?"
Strategist Kelly Y Zhou first reacted with a face of excitement and answered, "It’s a trench three feet deep and three meters wide."
Speaking of which, a picture full of blood has come to Kelly Y Zhou’s mind and said to himself, "General, according to what you just imagined, after the Tatar cavalry fell into the trench, he might be lucky enough to save his life."
"If you are not particularly lucky, you will directly hit the earth wall three feet deep in the trench. Even if you wear thick armor for protection, you will be thrown into a pile of meat by the war horse."
Kelly Y Zhou inspired Wang Feng to follow closely and added, "General, we can also insert a row of logs into the trench to make barbs. If the Tatar cavalry falls into the trench, it will stab the barbs, either dead or injured …"
"You are all right. With such a trench, we can kill dozens of Tatar cavalry before attack force reacts. It is not impossible to kill hundreds of Tatar cavalry with firearms."
Just then Kelly Y Zhou just relaxed and frowned again.
Wake up to Wei Zheng. "But general, you said that although this kind of dismissal may be good once, being a Tatar cavalry will definitely not happen again."
"According to my understanding of the Tatars, launching a second attack by the Tatar cavalry will definitely drive us to build a retaining wall bunker and drive the infantry to follow suit to destroy the retaining wall and fill it up. We have worked hard to build trenches."
"When the time comes, the Tatar cavalry can continue to attack us in Ma Pingchuan."
Weizheng shook his head and motioned for Kelly Y Zhou not to worry.
Continue to say surprisingly, "I have considered your concern, and then it is why I want to build a trench group outside Mushroom Valley instead of an independent trench."
"The Tatars have broken the first trench, and we still have the second one in the third."
"What’s more important is that we keep a distance of 100 paces from each trench. Ordinary archers shoot us from a distance with bows and arrows, but we have just equipped a new type of matchlock gun, but we can easily shoot the Tatar armored soldiers 100 paces away with mini bullets."
Say that finish WeiZheng directly with two people climb has been built to three meters high wall.
Look along the direction of Wei Zheng’s finger, the only way to Mushroom Valley is like a long horn clearly displayed in front of everyone.
This is the opening analysis of Wei Zheng’s continued guidance. "Look at the trumpet-shaped terrain in front of us, which is two miles long and the widest place is about 100 steps, and the narrowest place is less than 50 steps. It can be said that the terrain here is very suitable for our land to build trenches to block the enemy step by step, which consumes the effective strength of the Tatar attack troops bit by bit."
See two faces slowly emerge thoughtful expression Wei Zheng continued
"In addition to the trench group, we can also insert a large number of slow war horses in the trench. The longer the attack time is, the more times our musket battalion and artillery operation shoot lead bullets, and the more they will shoot Tatars."
"But it’s time to build a horse refusal, to prevent the harness of the Tatar cavalry from being destroyed, and to bury all the horse refusal deeply to ensure that the Tatar cavalry law will be easily destroyed."
"It is absolutely impossible for us to build so many trenches and refuse horses in just two days."
"So we must first build the first two lines of defense. Even if the Tatars come and attack us, we can continue to build the follow-up lines while blocking them. In addition, we can transfer some young people from the wall to help without affecting the progress of the wall."
"In addition, don’t you need a lot of clay to build the city wall? It is best to fill the city wall material when we build trenches and dig out excess clay."
"We can let the wall digging team move to the battlefield to help us dig trenches and repair the wall at the same time, which will not only affect the progress of wall construction, but also speed up the construction of trench groups."
"My last opinion is that Master Liu is responsible for building the city wall. Although he is not a soldier, he has built houses and walls for decades, digging trenches and repairing earth walls. He must have his own opinions and we don’t know the simple method. Go to Master Liu and ask Master Liu to be our assistant to help us build the trench group."
Chapter 50 Who "graveyard" (for collection! )
The thick and thin ends of the calf are sharpened and carbonized in a big fire, and the logs are very hard and barbed.
The carbonize wooden gun tips which have been bur black after being plunged into that soil in row are pointed at the only direction in which the Tatars attack the mushroom valley.
