Chapter 507: The Law of Building a City, Shangjing Dead Land
Chapter 507: How to build a city, go to the capital to die
After the two left, Wanyan Hao once again focused his attention on the secret message. The method was simple but very practical.
The first step in this method is to build a city! Yes, according to Shen Tang's suggestion, two cities were built in the north and east directions of Shangjing City.
The reason why Gao Cunfu was so unscrupulous was, firstly, that the city of Shangjing had many soldiers and sufficient food. The second reason was that he could cross the vast grassland to the north and enter the sea to the east. Even if the city was really destroyed, he had great confidence that he would be able to survive safely. Get away.
Therefore, he is naturally fearless!
And Shen Tang’s method is to dash Gao Cunfu’s hope! If the city is built in the east and north directions of Shangjing, then Shangjing will truly become a dead land! If Gao Cunfu wants to escape from Shangjing, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!
In this era, building a city at the right location was enough to block thousands of troops. Moreover, after building the city, Wanyan Hao would switch from offense to defense, gradually consuming Gao Cunfu's patience and strength.
After all, Shangjing City is just a city, and Wanyan Hao has the whole country on his back, so Gao Cunfu will have no room for maneuver at all.
Speaking of building cities, this was actually one of the most effective ways for the Central Plains dynasty to restrain the northern grassland peoples.
Far away, Han Qi and Wang Anshi built a city in Xixia, forcing Xixia back step by step.
I think back then, if Wang Anshi had not been replaced at the end, the little Xixia might have been driven crazy by Wang Anshi.
At that time, Wang Anshi's method was to build a city.
Large and small cities advanced one after another. With the support of these cities, Xixia's military front was completely restrained. This was also one of the few victories of the Song Dynasty over the grassland peoples.
Recently, Zhang Jun also built a city in Sizhou to target the Jin army.
After occupying Sizhou, Zhang Jun built dense fortresses in the north of Sizhou in order to make Sizhou a stable place.
These fortresses, like small cities, serve as horns to each other and can completely restrain the advantages of the Jin Kingdom's cavalry.
The biggest role of building a city around Shangjing, in addition to restraining Gao Cunfu's military front, is to turn Shangjing into a real desperate situation and force Gao Cunfu out of Shangjing.
Whether you are in a Jedi or a living place, your expectations will naturally be different! You can fight and travel in Beijing, so Gao Cunfu is not worried.
However, when Shangjing becomes desperate, even if the food and grass in Shangjing can last longer, the hearts of the soldiers and the people are different.
Just like, everyone knows that the end point is death, but even if it is the same long life, if a person clearly knows the time of his death, he will naturally have a sense of oppression and urgency! In this case, , I am afraid that Gao Cunfu will take the initiative to launch an attack without Wanyan Hao forcing him.
Either advance or retreat, and you will never truly be trapped in the capital city.
And as long as Gao Cunfu has this idea, then Wanyan Hao can prepare a real surprise for Gao Cunfu outside Beijing and let them take the initiative to invest.
To put it bluntly, this is a conspiracy, but this conspiracy is a problem that Gao Cunfu must face.
Although this method is simple, not only Wanyan Hao did not think of it, but also many generals of the Jin Kingdom did not think of it.
This is not a question of whether they are stupid, but the thinking of the grassland people is very different from that of the Central Plains.
The grassland peoples are happy with the situation and rarely build cities. Almost all the current cities are left over after the founding of the Song Dynasty. Only a few were built by the Liao Kingdom and the current Jin Kingdom. Moreover, their function is to guard one side, but they will not
The method of building a city was used in the art of war, which was really unfamiliar to the generals of the Jin Kingdom.
Wanyan Hao is also a general, so he must have understood the meaning of the secret letter!
"Someone is coming!"
Wanyan Hao shouted loudly.
After a while, the soldiers entered, only to hear Wan Yan Hao's instructions, "Call Luhan, Abuhanda, Zhuoluwu, and Adali to me!"
The soldiers took the order and left, and a moment later, four strong men in iron armor appeared in Wanyan Hao's Chinese army tent!
"Greetings, Commander-in-Chief!"
"kindness!"
Wanyan Hao nodded slightly, and then said, "Ba Luhan, you lead your subordinates to collect wood as quickly as possible! Abu Handa, you lead your subordinates to collect stones.
Zhuo Luwu, lead your troops to a place five miles north of Shangjing and start digging for me to build a city! Adari, lead your troops to a place five miles east of Shangjing and start digging to build a city!"
After hearing Wanyan Hao's order, everyone present was stunned. They were all warriors, so why did they suddenly become construction workers?
Moreover, what’s the point of building cities in these two places?
"Since Gao Cunfu, the bastard, doesn't want to go out to fight, then he shouldn't come out.
I will directly build a city and blockade it, turning Shangjing into a dead place, leaving him with no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth."
Wanyan Hao shouted, "Do you understand?"
"You will finally understand!"
The four of them accepted the order.
"Okay, you lead your troops and set off immediately, and act in accordance with the general's orders. The faster the better!"
Wan Yanhao said.
Several people saluted, and then hurriedly gathered their troops and horses. There were barren mountains and rivers not far away, so there was no shortage of materials to build the city. Adali and his two men also led their troops to leave the military camp and went directly to Wanyan Hao.
At the two locations mentioned, the army began to level the ground, consolidate the land, and dig trenches!
Although the army at this time was not an engineering force, it was no stranger to these things.
After all, every march requires setting up camp, but now, it is just a different method to build a city.
Therefore, although there are not many things for digging and ramming earth, there are still a lot of them. Moreover, these things are not complicated and can be created for temporary use in a very short time.
And the four people Wanyan Hao ordered were all captains of ten thousand men under his command.
On a normal day, the number of soldiers and horses under the command of a captain of 10,000 men is not necessarily 10,000. Most of them only have a few thousand, and even only three to five thousand is not uncommon.
However, this is war time, and it is also an important battle, so almost all of the soldiers and horses under the command of these captains are full strength.
This also means that under Wanyan Hao's order, the entire Siwan army began to busy building the city.
It is naturally not easy to build a city, but in front of 40,000 young people, this complicated matter becomes simple.
In less than three days, Adali and Zhuo Luwu led their troops to level the land of a huge area, and even dug out a lot of the foundation! And the other soldiers who went to collect materials
, and the speed was not slow. Starting from the second day, there was a steady stream of wood and stone pulled by teams of horses, and gathered at these two locations.
