There is no doubt that Yuyang City has become a dead city. The Julu Army wants to attack at any time and can attack at any time. The only concerns are casualties and food and grass issues.

On the sixth day of the siege, the moats outside the city were still being dug. At the same time, the deterrent tactics continued. The Julu Army divided some troops and pretended to be reinforcements and walked back and forth outside. From the perspective of the enemy's army at the top of the city, there were soldiers and horses outside, and they were about to line up to the sky...

Day 7...

Day 8...

On the ninth day, a bunch of giant towers that had been processed halfway were pushed to the city and started processing them in front of the enemy guarding the city.

The enemy saw the huge towers visible in the short distance getting higher and higher, quickly rising above the city wall, and it continued to rise. It is conceivable how much psychological pressure the enemy should be.

According to the plan of the Julu Army, there is no plan to attack forcefully. However, if you do not plan to attack forcefully, you must also take a strong attack attitude and not let the enemy see through its strategic intentions.

——

In the Logistics Department, military advisor Li Mengxi had a strange plan. He asked the craftsmen to prepare font papers and printed a large number of leaflets as quickly as possible.

Speaking of word molds, movable type printing and carving techniques have certain technical barriers. Even in Julu, craftsmen are still exploring the relevant skills of printing, let alone on the march.

However, the Julu Army is a magical place after all. When they were vying for the Yellow Turbans that day, they could marches and make chariots and burn pottery with straw sandals, etc., and the tradition is still there today.

At that time, when I sent troops from Julu, there were no fonts in the army. However, some carpenters with the army came into contact with printing technology and knew that fonts were the most important of printing technology. This is one of them.

Secondly, because it is marching and fighting, there are many chores and small characters that are not important before many military affairs, so no military affairs related to characters are issued. Due to the military atmosphere, although the Julu Army has not been established for a long time, the craftsman camp is the most influential and exciting battalion. Simply put, the craftsman camp has very high subjective initiative and often exceeds the productivity.

So, I don’t know which craftsman took a piece of broken wood to carve a font when he was camping every day. The other craftsmen followed suit, and the fonts became more and more quietly.

There is also thirdly. As we all know, ancient people had low cultural level and few people were able to read. Moreover, craftsmen were a cheap career, and there were especially many people who were illiterate among craftsmen.

This means that there is another thing that Li Mengxi had made earlier. When he planned to literate in the army, he realized the difficulty and cost-effectiveness of literacy. Li Mengxi collected some common military words and words as words that prioritize literacy, such as "marching" and "camping", and finally set the commonly used words to more than 300 or less than 400.

This move unexpectedly led to the incredible situation that craftsmen do not have to face the vast number of words, but only need to engrave commonly used words first. This greatly reduces the difficulty of craftsmen in learning to write and engrave words. Secondly, these commonly used words are engraved with military purposes.

For example, now, after a few different leaflets drafted by Li Mengxi, I have counted a few of them and found that 80% of the characters already have ready-made characters, and it is enough to just engrave 20% of the new characters temporarily.

With the support of the good system and atmosphere of the Julu Army, who can know what the font model is useful when fighting? But when it comes to use, the font model is magically prepared.

The high level of wisdom is to plan and make plans. A higher level is to never think of it, no planning, no calculation, or even no ideas, no ideas, no inexplicable help is automatically delivered to you.

The reason is whether it is a complete plan or a strategic plan, it is the wisdom of one person, but it is ultimately not as good as the wisdom of everyone and the system.

——

Regarding artificial and human resources, there is such an algorithm. Suppose that it takes one day to cut ten trees by one person. Then, if ten thousand people cut one tree, does it only take one ten thousandth of a day, that is, one ten thousandth of an 86,400 second, eight seconds? It is obviously impossible to cut one tree in eight seconds. Human resources do not completely equal efficiency.

It is not difficult for the Julu Army to build 100 siege towers at the same time, but even if all the manpower and material resources are concentrated, it is difficult to do a mere siege in a short period of time.

A temporary siege tower was completed and under the cover of heavy troops, the siege tower slowly pushed towards the enemy city. This action caused another commotion among the enemy.

Two hundred steps closer to the city, the siege tower stopped and could not leave. Then it completely entered the range of the bow and arrow.

Li Mengxi, surrounded by soldiers, frowned and looked at the top of the city on the top of the tower. He pinched a leaflet in his hand. At such a long distance, he couldn't pass the leaflet.

In advance, the method of passing the letter by flying arrows was imitated, and the archer shot the flyer into the city. With the lightness of the Julu Army paper, the range of the arrow book must be better than that of tied a piece of linen or bamboo tube.

But Li Mengxi thought this method was not very good. First, the archery book wasted arrows and dripped the arrows into the city. If the enemy picked up the arrow and reflected it back, it would be bad.

Also, archery books have to be shot close, which is dangerous. If you only shoot one or two arrow books, you only need to use one or two archers, and the cost of losing one or two is acceptable. However, if you only shoot one or two arrow books, it is just an arrow books, not a flyer everywhere flying all over the city. Moreover, Li Mengxi thought deeply about scattering leaflets, which would alarm the snake.

Think about it by yourself. If the enemy sends leaflets, in response, you must immediately confiscate and hide the leaflets, conceal the news, and immediately send a confidant to the city to martial law. Then, the flyer will be shot on the top of the city and confiscate it immediately, so that the soldiers will not take a look. In this way, the effect of the leaflets will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, when scattering leaflets, you must be scattered in a flash, and the city will be spread in an instant, so that the enemy will not have time to block the news, so that the maximum effect can be achieved.

The dilemma is here. A mere two letters of arrows are easy to alarm the snake and have very little effect. Thousands of arrow books can be instantly shot at the city wall, but they will inevitably shoot a large number of arrows at the city wall, which may help the enemy. At the same time, hundreds of archers, plus a large number of guard forces, are no less than a feint attack, and there will be many casualties.

With the current situation of the Julu Army, all the manpower in the first mission in the army is desperately digging trenches and accumulating advantages, and the strategic situation is mainly trapped. If hundreds or thousands of crossbowmen are pulled down to the city, the enemy's already tense nerves are stimulated by this, will it be completely crazy and will rush out to the death, causing the trap to turn into a frontal battle and make the strategic arrangement fail? It is unknown.

Even if hundreds of archers are shot, the archers cannot go to the foot of the city wall and shoot. They must be safe at a distance of hundreds of steps from the city wall. If this distance is shot, the arrow can only fall within a limited area of ​​the city head.

What is the place on the top of the city? The head of the city is the key. The most loyal soldiers of the enemy's confidant elite soldiers are all at the top of the city. If the arrow book does not fall into the hands of the enemy's weak brigade, it will be difficult to do its best.

Based on various considerations, the easiest method of Arrow Book is not possible.

The sun was scorching, and Li Mengxi was on the tower. He was waiting. What were he waiting for the wind? He wanted to wait for a strong wind to blow, and he threw the leaflets at once. Thousands of flyers floated into every corner of the city.

After waiting and waiting, I was sweating profusely. I looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly. It was a sunny day. I waited on the left and couldn't see the wind coming.

When Li Mengxi was about to give up, a sudden chill came from behind, and the wind was facing each other, and the wind was not small. Li Mengxi quickly grabbed the frame beside him and threw it up hard - a rush, and paper was flying all over the sky.

Then, I watched the paper float and fall slowly and slowly, falling under the tower. The farthest infantry formation that had not yet floated out of the guards below and landed on the soldiers' heads.

Li Mengxi laughed angry and worked hard for a long time, and the effect was just right.

The wind is not available.

Or, the wind method is wrong.

Li Mengxi immediately thought of another method, such as Kongming lanterns, kites, etc. When he wanted to convey messages to Jicheng, he thought of Kongming lanterns and kites' message transmission method, but at this time, the Kongming lanterns and kites' techniques were immature.

Or, use a catapult, a crossbow, and hit the paper bullet into the city, without a bed crossbow, and without a catapult.

The paper also needs to be changed, and Li Mengxi thought of this when he went down from the tower.

Since the beginning of papermaking, it has been found that paper of various properties needs in practice. The known paper with sufficient strength and toughness is required to be made of paper armor; paper with specific colors, such as red, used to make temporary paper flags; paper with sword testing is required to be soft and thin enough to test the sharpness of the sword as much as possible. There are also papers that can be used as rainproof tools, and even papers that can be more comfortable to keep cold in clothes, and now, papers that are light enough to spread leaflets better.

Li Mengxi immediately had the option, the kind of paper that could fly in the wind, there was, the monks of xizang would stand on the hill and let the wind blow the glutinous rice paper in their hands to the clouds.

Once the idea is opened, it will be opened instantly. Plant fibers naturally determine that the amount of paper made of plant fibers will not be too light, while glutinous rice paper and other materials may be as light as nothing.

If there was really glutinous rice paper just now, just that gust of wind would be enough to blow the glutinous rice paper into the city.

When I think of glutinous rice paper, I think of it being easy to rot and it can be eaten. When I easily rot, I think of it, if the leaflet is wet and the handwriting will not be visible. Therefore, the leaflet needs to be waterproofed.

The property of glutinous rice paper that can be eaten can also be used. Assuming that glutinous rice paper can be eaten with salt or sugar, it tastes very good. Then, when the first person in the city was curious and picked up a piece of glutinous rice paper and ate it, everyone in the city will try their best to collect glutinous rice paper. The information carried on glutinous rice paper and glutinous rice paper can no longer be controlled.

This is extremely important. If paper is useless, a considerable number of people in the city will become interested in flyers, and naturally they will become interested in the information on the flyers.

And when everyone in the city is flocking to glutinous rice paper flyers, the number of people paying attention to the information on the flyers will double.

Li Mengxi also thought that since the flyer can be eaten, it can also poison people, and poison the flyer and float all over the city...

The result of this is that when the flyer is eaten to death, the people and soldiers in the city will avoid the flyer like snakes and scorpions. Naturally, they will be extremely resistant to the information on the flyer and will no longer believe the words on the flyer.

It’s okay to resist, don’t believe in the nonsense of flyers, this is also good - this is for the defending party. On the other hand, we have a counter-use tactic. If we defend the city, when the enemy’s flyers are floating all over the city, why not do the opposite? The enemy’s flyers are added with salt and sugar. I deliberately created some fake flyers and put poison on them. In this way, after using a knife to kill the mermaid’s eyes and mixed with pearls, the black and white will be turned upside down.

The enemy's leaflets were said to persuade the surrender and gave them benefits. I made a falsification of the leaflets and deliberately said to slaughter the people in the city, and the black and white were turned upside down.

Then, if we counter the countermeasures, how should we counter the enemy's counter-letter tactics?

In fact, the authenticity of leaflets is the same as the authenticity of coins. Real money is exquisite, fake money is simple, and comparison is clear at a glance.

The countermeasures are available. When distributing flyers, they spend a lot of money, use good paper, and use watermarks, dark patterns, and various complex and advanced printing techniques and patterns on flyers. When exquisite and unparalleled flyers with incomparable technical power are spread to the enemy city, if the enemy wants to forge them and mix them with fish eyes, their crude imitations will be compared with the genuine ones, and the people and soldiers will naturally not recognize imitations.

If the enemy counterattacks - no matter how exquisite the flyer is, it will not delay the poison. If the flyer is applied with poison, no matter how exquisite the flyer is, it will be hated and distrustful.

The countermeasure is very simple - since the poison is wrong, it will not work. If you want the poison to not work, just don’t eat it. Therefore, you might as well print the precautions on the leaflet: “To prevent insects and ants, the paper is coated with insect-killing poison, and you should not take it.” In this way, even if the enemy troops in the city deliberately poison people, it is useless.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The flawless method of the flyer tactic has been achieved, and the full version should be like this - if [Siege], in order to quickly spread information, you can print exquisite glutinous rice paper with sugar and salt, which makes the enemy useless to imitate. If sugar and salt are added, the circulation will be accelerated.

If you want to be safe, use a good paper coated with tung oil, and print it carefully, and write it on it to prevent precautions for fasting.

If [Defend the City] is known to be common to attack and defend and spread rumors, we should defend ourselves for a long time. To defend the city, we should add an item of banning abnormalities. Any abnormal things thrown or left behind on the city, regardless of the piece of paper and piece of hemp, should not be picked up privately, and should be collected by a special person.

Li Mengxi was thinking while walking, and suddenly thought that it would be useful to throw money at the top of the city? Is it harmful to pick money from the soldiers on the top of the city?

Suppose scenario - when siege the city, the climbing soldiers carry a bag of copper coins, and quickly reach the city, throw the copper coins onto the city, and then jump off the long ladder. In this way, the enemy troops at the city have two choices. If they shoot arrows, the ladders will die, and the money they carry from the ladders will fall outside the city, and there is no way to pick it up; if they don’t shoot arrows, the ladders will throw money onto the city, and the people on the city will get money in vain. They think that they don’t go to the city and can get money in vain, so they can get money in vain, so they can get two less arrows.

So, yesterday I fired two less arrows and got two bags of money. Today I fired four less arrows and got four bags of money. I still felt that I had too little, so I wanted to get more. So, the next day I fired two less arrows and left half again, and finally there was no arrow, and the city was at peace.

So, one day, he suddenly attacked. The people on the city were lazy for a long time and were unprepared for a while. If they could not defend themselves, the city would be destroyed.

Since you have lost money to the top of the city, can you buy things? Can't you buy people's hearts? The slack guards are just one of them. The second is to contact the Julu Army's "Crown-falling method" and the method of falling crown-falling method is to surround the infantry and force them to surrender. At this time, the enemy has been surrounded and the pressure is enough. All that is lacking is the trust of the enemy. Therefore, once the rebels surrounded the Yellow Turban and forced them to surrender, a centurion temporarily took off his helmet and threw it on the ground to show that, you see, I threw the helmet and exposed my weakness to you. Is this sincerity enough? At that time, this method successfully surrendered a Yellow Turban, and it became a battle strategy.

Combined with the method of throwing the crown and surrendering, one day, if you want to surrender the defenders in the city, you can send soldiers to throw them to the city with a lot of money to show sincerity. Giving money but not food, giving food to the enemy, giving money to the enemy but not the enemy and showing sincerity. This is the best choice.

——

Liu Bei and others waited for Li Mengxi to spread the leaflets and came back. When the person arrived, Li Mengxi walked into the tent and walked to the short table to pick up a bowl of cold water and drank it.

After drinking, he raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth. He looked at everyone and said, "I didn't succeed." He paused and nodded, "However, he has gained a lot."

The matter was not done, but it gained a lot. Everyone became interested.

The income is as follows: the idea of ​​making glutinous rice paper and other special papers, the complete set of strategies for spreading leaflets and countermeasures, the addition of anomalies in the city defense affairs, and the strategy of throwing money to surrender the defenders.

There is no doubt that this has aroused enthusiastic discussion among the public again.

But there are a lot of talks. Zhang Fei was confused about whether glutinous rice can be made into paper and can he really write. Guan Yu had to change his habits. Since he had paper and the paper books made by Julu Army, Guan Yu had a habit of licking his fingers and flipping books. But today I know that some evil guys would put poison on the paper.

Liu Bei noticed one thing: money. He didn't care about money, but felt that copper coins and other things could be used as arrows by the enemy. It was a bit unsightly.

Li Mengxi was a little surprised, "Oh, can copper coins be used as arrows?" Yes, didn't copper arrows be used in the Spring and Autumn Period?"

This made something happen again. He silently took out his small notebook and began to remember that the copper coins were melted to make arrows to supplement the arms. The melted arrows had to prepare fuel, especially wood. Ordinary wheat straw was not easy to use, so when defending the city, the fuel had to be coordinated, and grass was used for cooking, and the wood was kept as strategic supplies.

Since copper coins can be used as arrows, other metals can also be used as arrows, such as swords and guns, such as iron armor. When defending the city, arrows must be consumed before swords and guns. At this time, you only need to leave enough basic armor for the defenders, and other unnecessary ones can be used to melt them into arrows.

Since ancient times, I have only seen all arrows consumed, but no swords and guns consumed.

Not only can the swords and guns be used for their own use, but the enemy troops siege the city, and the enemy soldiers who died at the top of the city will also leave a large number of swords and iron armor.

In short, when defending the city, the military reserves are in an extremely unbalanced situation, and swords and guns are always abundant, and arrows are never enough. This expansion involves material reserves when defending the city. Swords and guns and armors are second-hand when defending the city. The biggest shortcoming is arrows. You might as well store a large amount of arrow materials in the city on weekdays, except for copper and iron. These materials are stored, and do not consume manpower. In wartime, it is not too late to make a large number of arrows immediately with copper and iron.

Once the war begins, the swords, guns and armor of the enemy's siege will be sent to the city from tons to tons. When defending the city, the copper and iron entry will be huge.
To be continued...
