Chapter 92 Difficulties
Cao Chen said: "If you want to capture a city, you must at least ten times the strength of the defending city before you can take action. Otherwise, the success rate will be extremely low. Of course, there are exceptions. Use strategies to make the people in the city rebell. Otherwise, you will only have to consume it, and use up any food that consumes it first."
He looked at Qing Cang at this point and always felt that he was too absolute, because with Qing Cang here, everything is possible.
If you capture a city, you will die many people. This was a common thing in ancient times. If Qing Cang really wants to build a castle, you must be prepared. However, risks and opportunities coexist, and there is a contradiction. If you don’t do it, you can only do this. Or if you encounter a stronger enemy in the future, you will die. Or you are lucky and survive, but the local area restricts your development and you will still be in a state of disgrace.
Seeing that Qing Cang didn't say anything, Cao Chen continued:
"Of course, in addition to military strength, we also need some siege weapons. If it is a small city, a rushing car is essential. The types of siege weapons required for a big city are more. For example, a catapult and a ladder. If a trenches are dug in front of the city, there must be rushing equipment, otherwise the city will not be able to be defeated. If there is another urn city, the difficulty will rise sharply."
When Qing Cang heard this, Cao Chen finally reached the point, which was siege weapons, or the ability to reduce casualties by improving weapons. With modern knowledge reserves, he could achieve it completely.
At the same time, Lin Meng was confused when he heard this, and he asked, "What is a urn city?"
Cao Chen explained patiently:
"Where is the most vulnerable place for a city? It is the city gate. Once the city gate is broken, the entire city will be opened. The city gate is outside the city gate and has the function of protecting the city gate from being broken. The two sides of the city wall are connected to the city wall, and are equipped with defensive facilities such as arrow towers, gate gates, and scepters. The city gates of the city gates are usually not on the same line as the city gates they are protected to prevent attacks from the city carts and other weapons."
Lin Meng asked, "It means to build a small town outside the city gate?"
Cao Chen said: "It can be said that he is an outer gate. If he hits the outer gate and the inner gate, it will increase the loss of military strength of the attacking party. In addition to the urn, the force used is estimated to be twenty times or more."
Lin Meng sighed. "It seems that it is not simple."
Fortunately, Zhang Liao had experienced several sieges, and even Wu Chaojing was a little confused. After all, he had never fought a war. He said, "You are too general to say this, so it's better to use a city as a metaphor, which is more intuitive."
Cao Chen nodded and said, "Take Changshan County as an analogy. There are nearly 4,000 defenders, and only 40,000 people need to consume them can be killed."
Thanks to the protection of the city wall, only a few people can defend a city. However, if the siege is not well-equipped, more people need to stack it.
After hearing this, Lin Meng listened to the air conditioner. "Forty thousand people... this is not a small number! We only have more than four thousand people."
"Don't interrupt, listen to me. The city in Changshan County is not big, and it does not have a urn city. As long as there are enough rushing cars to open the city gate, you can break the city.
But it is not easy to get the rushing car to the city. Outside his city, he may have built a large number of rolling wood, a large number of rocks, and arrow towers. Before this is close to the city, the 40,000 people have probably lost 3,000 people.
In the next siege, the soldiers on the city wall must be removed, so that the rushing car can reach the city gate smoothly. A large number of soldiers must be consumed. As time goes by, casualties will continue."
At this time, Cao Chen changed his mind: "If there is a catapult for cover, it may be possible to reduce casualties."
Zhang Liao spoke at this time, and he had a different view.
"Maybe less than ten times the force is used to deal with the opponent. After all, the guards of Changshan County are not military soldiers. They are just bandits, and there is no military discipline in their eyes. Once there are casualties, they may disperse."
Lin Meng sighed. "Then you still play a ball? It's better to surround them and stay trapped for ten days and half a month!"
His words were directly opposed by Wu Chaojing.
"Battleman Lin's words are bad! We must not be able to consume them. We must know that most of the city has fertile land and water sources, and we can basically be self-sufficient in it, and we cannot afford it."
"I don't understand this, I just talk casually. The plan is up to you. I just need to fight a war. I can wait to make a contribution and take the commander of the regiment. That is the real majesty!"
People are used to Lin Meng's words without any restraint.
This was heard in Qing Cang's ears, and he also felt that there were many difficulties. He did not pay special attention to these small details when watching TV. Now, after hearing what he said, it was quite difficult, mainly because it was the issue of military strength.
However, it is due to humans. With his intelligence, he can definitely think of explanations. In addition, there is still a system, making a cannonball or something, and banging them. It is just that these things require a large amount of health. As for the current situation, his health is not worth mentioning in the long river of history. Only through continuous tasks can he increase his survival time.
After Cao Chen said this, Qing Cang had a new idea. The root of all problems lies in the people who defended the city. So if you want to break the city, you have to solve the problem of the people who defended the city. The ancients used people to stack people and go up to kill these people who defended the city. But his military strength was not enough, so he would not do this. He had to use his brain and weapons to arm himself. It is definitely necessary to rush to the city car, and he needed another thing.
Qing Cang thought for a while, then shouted: "Come here, let Captain Wang come to see me!"
The guard quickly went down to call Wang Zongwei.
Wu Chaojing asked carefully: "Commander, do you have a way?" He really didn't know how to attack the city this time. After all, the military strength was there, and the number of people was not enough. These 4,000 people were not enough to consume in one wave, so he would die. What city would he attack?
Qing Cang said: "Yes, success or failure depends on Battalion Commander Wang."
"What? Battalion Commander Wang?"
Lin Meng was completely confused. Does Wang Zongwei know how to attack the city?
The same is true for Zhang Liao. He couldn't remember what Wang Zongwei could do. "What can Battalion Commander Wang do? Will he attack the city?"
People don’t understand why success or failure depends on Wang Zongwei. In addition to making weapons, the three battalion commanders in the war are much better than him. They all forgot Wang Zongwei’s other identity.
"Is it..."
Wu Chaojing was about to guess, but at this moment, a guard came up to report and said, "Report! A large number of people gathered downstairs, holding some strange things in their hands, saying that they would meet you, Commander."
Qing Cang asked casually: "How many people have come?"
"About three hundred people!"
Before Wang Zongwei came up, he would go downstairs to take a look first and find out what these people were going to do.
"I understand, let's go down and take a look first! The issue of siege will be discussed later."
