Chapter 742 The old battlefield returns(2/2)

Some of the ferocious wooden thorns fell into the water, and some were still standing ferociously. If they fell, they would not fall down. The ditch was so steep that they would not be able to get up even if they fell.

It had rained a few days ago and the ground was slippery. Jian Yong was afraid that he would fall, so he walked towards the middle without leaving a trace.

At this time, a very useful tactic was ignored by Jian Yong.

If Li Mengxi came and saw that the ditch he dug at that time had become extremely slippery after a rain, then Li Mengxi would immediately realize that in addition to civil engineering work, magic can also be added to the field work.

Pour some water on it, and then use muddy water to make it very smooth. You can even pour oil or even sprinkle soybeans.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Let’s just say, is it worth exchanging a handful of soybeans for three or four fallen enemy soldiers, and exchanging the lives of three or four enemy soldiers?

If combined with the weather, in winter, a lot of water is poured in front of the trench, and the ice forms, making it slippery even if the cavalry rushes over.

It's a pity that Li Mengxi is not here, and a tactic was buried.

Jian Yong looked at the trench carefully. It was at least three to four feet wide and deeper than a person's height. Such a trench was wider and deeper than the dry and disrepaired moat outside Zhuozhou County.

Jian Yong turned around and asked curiously, "Xuande, how many days did it take to repair such a wide ditch?"

Liu Bei raised his head and thought about it for a moment, "Three days."

After a pause, Liu Bei added, "It lasted three days and three nights, and I practiced non-stop during the night."

Looking at the huge ditch that was several feet wide, Jian Yong nodded slightly. He worked non-stop for three days and three nights, building a ditch that was one foot wide in one day and night, which was reasonable.

Suddenly, Jian Yong suddenly raised his head and asked doubtfully, "...to repair so many ditches, you go to war and bring so many hoes?"

Jian Yong obviously realized the key to the problem, which was logistics.

Later, Liu Bei told Jian Yong why there were so many hoes. First, the caravans had already started to buy hoes, axes and other tools. Second, the Yellow Turban refugees often had hoes and other agricultural tools in their hands.

But these two points are simply not enough.

Although there are a large number of hoes in the army, if they are not collected and sorted in advance, it will be too time-consuming to recruit and dispatch them when the situation arises. At that time, the military situation was critical, and the first ten feet of trenches had to be dug within half a day. A slight delay would not be possible.

succeed.

In short, we were able to dig a trench several feet long in three days. Manpower, organization, logistics, and coordination were all indispensable.

Walking further, we reached the place where Huangfu Song established his stronghold. At our feet, the pits where the officers and soldiers buried the stakes that day were still clearly visible.

Jian Yong stepped on the pothole twice with his feet. He wondered if no one had been here for so long.
