NOVEL NEXT Chapter 527
528、Defense Like A Turtle Shell
“Could it be that the Mongolian army was really wiped out by the Han emperor?”
The King of Xixia was thinking hard in the bedroom.
There is no way to think about it. The King of Xixia sent an elite sentry to go deep into the Mongolian hinterland and see how the Mongolian battlefield is going.
In fact, the king of Xixia also knew that the symbolic meaning of this sentry is greater than the actual meaning.
The Han army and the Mongolian army fought on Lake Baikal in the northernmost part of Mongolia, more than 1,100 kilometers away from Xingqing Prefecture.
.
Even if the cavalry is a pair of cavalry, they can only travel 150 kilometers in a day and night.
That is to say, it takes more than seven days for a sentry to take a rest, and a horse to take a rest.
This is still calculated according to the straight-line distance, and it takes fifteen days and a half a month to come and go.
However, could Xingqing Prefecture last for fifteen days under the heavy artillery attack of the Han army?
“Attack! 35
“Let the artillery increase the intensity of the artillery fire, don’t be stingy with the shells, and shoot all the shells out!
The Han army was in a hurry to attack Xingqing for a long time.
Since the Han Dynasty entered the world of divine carvings, this is the city that has persisted for the longest time.
Of course this is not surprising.
As the capital of Western Xia, and after seeing the might of the artillery of the Han Dynasty, since the alliance of Western Xia, Southern Song Dynasty, Mongolia and other countries, the thickness of the city wall has been continuously strengthened.
As for height, they don’t see much use.
Even if the building is high, if the thickness is not enough, it will collapse under the shelling.
Over the past six months, the thickness of the Xingqing Palace city wall has doubled.
Before, the thickness of the bottom city wall was eight meters, and the thickness of the top layer was six meters, which means that now the thickness of the Xingqing Palace city wall is more than ten meters, and the last place is nearly twenty meters.
That thickness is enough to make any cannon intimidating.
“What about the hot air balloon? Can the soldiers parachute in through the hot air balloon?”
“Can you dig tunnels?”
“What about flooding? Your Majesty flooded the Mongolian army of millions…”
Many generals are advising Zhuge Liang.
However, they were all rejected by Zhuge Liang.
“The tunnel method won’t work. The Xixia Army has already placed countless large burials along the city wall 100 meters away. Once the tunnel is dug, it will be discovered.”
“As for the water attack, it’s not enough. First, there is no river around. Second, there is a city on the other side, and the bottom is flat. I’m afraid we will be flooded in the end…
“As for the hot air balloon, you can try it, but it doesn’t work much!”
Although the hot air balloon can make the Han soldiers airborne into the city, it can’t send a few people at a time. Now there are 300,000 troops of Xixia in the city.
Even if a thousand people are dropped in at a time, it is a drop in the bucket.
As for the city gate, it is even more impossible.
The Xixia army immediately blocked the city gate with boulders, even thicker than the city wall.
“Then we can only attack hard?”
“I’m afraid this will disappoint Your Majesty.
“Hey! These cowardly Xixia troops are hiding in the city and dare not come out, and they are like tortoises!”
…..4.9
The big Han general sighed for a while.
In fact, it is only a matter of time to break through the city. No matter how thick the city wall is, there is a limit, and it will eventually be bombed by cannons.
They just wanted to break through Xingqing Mansion as soon as possible and show it off in front of Liu Zhao.
“The only plan now is to continue bombarding Xingqing Mansion. When a gap is opened and a fierce attack is launched, rest assured, Your Majesty will understand us.”
Zhuge Liang thought about it and said.
