Naturally, Tang Ruowang was not unfamiliar with bastion tactics, because when he came to the capital, he had already discussed the use of bastion tactics with Xu Guangqi, and gave Xu Guangqi the bastion fortifications that had already appeared in Europe at that time.
An introduction was made.
It was precisely because of this that Xu Guangqicai and Sun Yuanhua figured out a bastion-like tactic - the triangular enemy platform.
The real effectiveness of the bastion gun platform is also clearly pointed out in "Fire Attack".
"The fire attack used in the defense of Western cities is not very strange. Whenever there is a sudden change in the city, a cannon platform must be built. It is made in the shape of a triangular point with a waist and is six feet higher than the city. It is equipped with three large cannon gates to facilitate repeated attacks.
A blunderbuss is built to prepare for close-range shooting, and a chain bomb is set up to control the cloud ladder. A second-story balcony is built on the platform, three feet high, with a telescope on it for lookout. Moreover, each platform is far and near, and can help each other, not only to protect the city.
If your feet are restrained, you can pay attention to the feet of the platform. Therefore, the platform can protect the blunderbuss, and the blunderbuss can protect the city. If the soldiers are few and strong, the effort will be saved and the result will be great."
It is a pity that due to the financial constraints of the Ming court and the limited siege capabilities of the Donglu at that time, this kind of triangular enemy platform did not really appear.
However, compared with the current bastion written on Lin Jing's manuscript, the triangular enemy tower appears to be relatively simpler. After all, the bastion Lin Jing gave is the product of almost hundreds of years of development, and is almost indistinguishable from the current bastion.
It’s a kind of thing.@essence\/书馆·无码first release~~
"Your Highness... I have never seen or heard of this kind of bastion tactic, but based on the current sketch, I'm afraid it will cost more."
Lin Jing smiled slightly and said: "Yes, this kind of bastion tactic does require a larger amount of work, but its defense system is almost self-contained and can be better integrated with the environment. By then, it can achieve the goal of focusing on offense and defense.
Effect."
Indeed, the most powerful part of the bastion itself is not its pure defense. After all, the branch bastions of this era are also the product of civil engineering. Although its front wall is much thicker than the flat one, it is not completely invincible. Except for
Except for fortress-style bastion castles, there are few large-scale bastions that use all-stone structures similar to those in the Middle Ages. After all, the amount of work required for that kind of fortification is too large, and not every country can complete it.
The real feature of the bastion is its multi-layered defense and maximum firepower coverage. Because after special design, the bastion basically has no blind spots for shooting. No matter which wall the enemy attacks, it will be able to fire.
(First update m..com)
The multi-faceted fire defense, especially the multi-layered defense system, allows the bastion to form a layer of trench defense network, turning the defensive battle into trench warfare, so it can exert great blocking capabilities.
In the face of this bastion tactic, because the low city walls are not conducive to artillery hits, and the city walls can cover the opponent with a multi-layer firepower network, the advantages of the city defense method are further amplified, and it is often possible to defeat with a very small number of people.
Several times or even ten times the number of enemies.
There are two typical examples. One is when Zheng Chenggong invaded the Dutch city of Jelandja. What he faced was the Dutch-style fortress system. Zheng Chenggong used 30,000 soldiers to besiege only one city.
The siege of 1,400 Dutch mercenaries lasted for a full eight months before they broke through the outer round fort. However, they still could not break through the upper bastion and could only use siege tactics to force the Dutch to surrender.
Coincidentally, during the Battle of Yaksa, the Qing army also deployed superior troops and powerful firepower such as Hongyi artillery to attack the city of Yaksa. After a bitter battle, they also failed to break through the branch fortress of Yaksa itself.
The system ultimately achieved victory through siege tactics.
The key to these two battles is that the bastion is never a passive target.
Tang Ruowang was thoughtful, he read Lin Jing's manuscript again, and murmured in a low voice: "It turns out that His Highness's design is so exquisite. If the bastion is really built in this way, I am afraid that no one will be able to build it."
Dare to attack again."
Lin Jing smiled: "Donglu's battles are accustomed to movement and interspersion. If we want to resist, we cannot completely rely on field battles to win. We also need to strengthen the current fulcrum defense systems in various places - and this bastion tactic is what we
I hope Master Tang can take the lead and improve it."
Tang Ruowang sighed softly and said with a complicated expression: "Your Highness, I admit that you are a real genius, but to complete such a complicated fortress tactic, you need too much money and food...

Chapter 384 Han Lin’s Talent
"We don't need to build in every place. In fact, the key to building right now lies in several important pass points on the northern defense line, such as Jizhou, Ningyuan, Yongping, Shuntian and other places responsible for guarding the capital, as well as guarding Shandong.
In Wucheng and Linqing, there will be no shortage of money and food for the time being, but I need someone to coordinate this matter."
Tang Ruowang nodded immediately, cupped his hands and said: "Since your highness
(First update m..com)
Having said that, it’s natural for me to be responsible.”
"No, you have more important things to do. I called you here in the hope that you can recommend a city-building expert, preferably someone with experience in building fortresses."
Lin Jing said calmly that what he was most worried about right now was the issue of talents. It was obvious that Tang Ruowang knew many such talents with specialized abilities.
Tang Ruowang couldn't help but was slightly startled. He thought carefully before continuing: "If His Highness needs a talent who specializes in building the city, I have thought of a person who should be very suitable."
"Oh? Who is this person?"
"Han Lin."
Seeing a trace of confusion on Lin Jing's face, Tang Ruowang quickly explained: "This man is also a priest. He once wrote a book called "Shouyu Complete Book". However, because this book was just written not long ago, it has no influence.
There are not many people who know the strength. Update without mistakes@"
Lin Jing nodded lightly, and glanced at Li Jizhou who was standing aside. Li Jizhou immediately stepped back in a sensible manner. Just a moment later, he re-entered the Hongren Hall with a stack of files.
"Your Highness, this is Han Lin's information."
If Lin Jing wanted to understand Han Lin, naturally he couldn't just rely on Tang Ruowang's words. It wasn't that he didn't believe Tang Ruowang, but the information Tang Ruowang learned was definitely not as familiar to the imperial court.
However, after briefly reading Han Lin's information, Lin Jingcai was shocked to find that he seemed to have almost missed this great talent!
Han Lin is really not a little person with no background. In fact, his background is quite profound - he was born in a scholarly family in Hedong, and his grandfather was Han Zhong, one of the "Second Ministers of Jiangzhou", and he and Fu
He had close friendship with Dong Bo, Wen Taiqing and others, and was also highly regarded by celebrities such as Huang Daozhou and Ma Shiqi. He was famous in the three Jin Dynasties for his collection of books and knowledge.
However, the more important thing is that Han Lin and Xu Guangqi have an excellent personal relationship. Although the two are "literally friends", Han Lin has actually become one of Xu Guangqi's disciples, and the triangle gun that Tang Ruowang and Xu Guangqi discussed was originally
Taiwan is also recorded in Han Lin's "Shouyu Complete Book".
When he saw this, Lin Jing couldn't help but get a little excited. He knew that he had finally found the right person.
"Summon Han Lin, I want to see him in person!"
