Chapter 238 Only by storming Qiantang
"Your Majesty, it would be best to have more than two thousand crossbows. The Wei intends to organize all of the Prince's soldiers into crossbowmen and archers, which may pose some threat to Zhu Zhi's thieves!"
After thinking for a while, Zhu Wei spoke again. Although Zhu Wei was a little envious of the 2000 or so crossbows in Wang Lang's hands, it was impossible to directly ask for them.
However, if Wang Lang's under-trained soldiers were turned into long-range units, it would indeed be more effective than letting them fight in close combat.
"This is all arranged by you!"
Wang Lang obviously didn't care about these things. In fact, Wang Lang was in charge of all the soldiers and horses in Kuaiji before, and now he was going to hand over the treasurer to Zhu Wei.
So this meeting with Wang Lang was almost over, Zhu Wei, Wang Yuyan, and Mu Lan left. As for military matters, we will discuss them in detail after meeting with Zhou Xin tomorrow.
On this day, Zhu Wei returned to the barracks with Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan.
But he didn't want to go back to the barracks. Ling Cao sent another good news to Zhu Wei. It turned out that Dong Xi, the general in the field whom Zhu Wei had seen in the intelligence list, also took the initiative to contact Ling Cao and planned to join Zhu Wei.
Dong Xi and Ling Cao knew each other. Although Ling Cao was active in Yuhang, Wu County, and Dong Xi was mainly active in Yuyao, Kuaiji, they were all gangsters, and they were more or less meeting each other. Over the face.
Sure enough, Dong Xi was the same as Ling Cao. He was from a local rich and powerful family in Kuaiji, but he belonged to a poor family and had no chance to be an official. Heartbroken.
Although Dong Xi only sent news to Ling Cao and he has not come yet, after Zhu Wei found out about this, he immediately met with the person sent by Dong Xi and expressed that he welcomes Dong Xi very much and waits for Dong Xi to arrive. At least there are other Sima-level lieutenants who can take up the post.
Then Zhu Wei asked Ling Cao to treat the man sent by Dong Xi to a meal of wine and meat, and then asked him to reply to Dong Xi. The man happily ate and drank, and then hurried back to report.
After this episode was over, the next day Zhu Wei took Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan to Wang Lang's military camp outside Shanyin County.
Zhou Xin, the head of the barracks, was already waiting for Zhu Wei, and Yu Fan, the counselor next to Wang Lang, was also here. Zhou Xin invited Zhu Wei to enter the barracks and sat down at the head of the barracks, and then sat down himself. Next.
Zhou Xin seems to be a bit of a gentleman this week, but he is tall, about 1.8 meters tall, and there seem to be a few scars on his face, which may be left over from previous wars. No wonder his charm is not high. It is unavoidable to be a general.
"Captain Zhou, I heard that you once accompanied Wei's father to gather for justice in Xuzhou. Wei is very lucky to see you today!"
Although Zhu Wei was seated as the chief general, he still saluted Zhou Xin first to show his respect for Zhou Xin.
Zhou Xin stood up and returned the salute. In fact, he was still a little worried about Zhu Wei. Although he had heard a lot about Zhu Wei, after all, Zhu Wei was only a young boy in his early twenties, and Zhou Xin himself might be fine. Ability, but he can be regarded as a battle-tested veteran. He is really worried that the more than 7000 soldiers under his control will be handed over to a brat like this.
But now he has a good impression of Zhu Wei, so he returned a slight salute to Zhu Wei, and said, "You can vaguely see Zhu Gong's heroic appearance from the young master. Since the eunuch let the young master take charge of the military this time, I should take it seriously." Follow the orders of the young master! However, the seven thousand recruits in this army are poor in combat strength, so I don't know how the young master plans to arrange it!"
"I already talked with the prince yesterday. Wei intends to use more than [-] soldiers to form a crossbow army formation, and then use [-] soldiers to hold bows, and the rest of the soldiers will be guarded by swords and shields. The [-] elite guards will be the main army to attack the enemy. Let’s talk about specific strategies!”
Zhu Wei could feel Zhou Xin's uneasiness, so he repeated the arrangement he had made to Wang Lang yesterday, which was basically the arrangement.
"Oh, such an arrangement is not bad, it's just three thousand bows, and leather armor with sword and shield..."
Zhou Xin was relieved to hear that Zhu Wei basically arranged these soldiers under him as long-range units, but when he thought about the equipment in his army, the only thing he could take out was 2000 [-] crossbow machines, and the other [-] Han troops were strong. But the bow is not all together.
Although the [-] weapons and equipment that Zhu Wei purchased for Wang Lang had been sent to the warehouse in Shanyin County, Wang Lang hadn't informed Zhou Xin yet, so Zhou Xin didn't know this, so naturally he lacked confidence.
"Don't worry, Captain Zhou. Wei has brought [-] military resources to the prince when he came to Kuaiji. In addition, Wei has a strong bow, so he should be able to prepare [-]. When the guards come down, they will send armaments to the army. !Then Captain Zhou, let us first discuss how to deal with Qiantang Zhuzhi!"
Zhu Wei knew what Zhou Xin was worried about, so he calmed down the problem first, and then Zhu Wei glanced at Mu Lan, who carried another package on his back, which contained a map of Qiantang County and its surrounding areas.
So Mu Lan took out the map and spread it out on the ground of the military tent. Zhou Xin and Yu Fan who were also in the tent couldn't help but stare blankly. They didn't expect Zhu Wei to have such an accurate map of Qiantang County in his hands.
Then Wang Yuyan stood in front of the map, pointed at the map with a branch and said, "Qiantang County is located by the river, there is a lake in the county, and there are hills beside the lake. It is not easy to storm Qiantang!"
Qiantang County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was not actually a big city, because there was the West Lake in it, so Qiantang County had a water gate connecting the West Lake and a land gate to enter and exit.
When Zhu Zhi was in Qiantang County, he had no idea of raising the city wall, but Qiantang County had sufficient water from the Qiantang River and West Lake, so its moat became a natural barrier to defend the city.
If Zhu Wei had the tens of thousands of soldiers in Ruo Rong back then, it would not be difficult to storm a Qiantang County, but now Zhu Wei has more than [-] troops, plus Wang Lang's in Kuaiji, and the soldiers on Wang Lang's side are trained , Morale is not high, if Qiantang County is attacked by force, I am afraid that everyone will die in the end, and it may not be possible to capture Qiantang County.
Although this Zhu Zhi is a person with mediocre attributes in the Three Kingdoms game, mediocre people also have the advantage of mediocrity, that is, they can stick to their duties and only defend the city when it is time to defend it. What strategies do you want to use against Zhu Zhi? He was lured out to fight, but there were some problems.
Therefore, Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan discussed it before, but they really couldn't find a way to lure Zhu Zhi out without storming Qiantang County.
Therefore, although it is not easy to storm Qiantang County, it seems that this method can only be used now. Wang Yuyan paused, and then said again, "Now our army does not have many soldiers to fight, so Zhu Zhi will not take it easy. Although he didn't want to go out of the city, he had no choice but to find a way to attack the city, after discussing with the lord, Yu came up with a strategy, which might open the water gate of Qiantang County!"
After listening to Wang Yuyan's words, Zhou Xin and Yu Fan were slightly stunned. Originally listening to Wang Yuyan's words, they really thought that Zhu Wei was going to trick Zhu Zhi out of Qiantang County or something, but now Wang Yuyan actually said It's a bit too difficult to prepare to storm Qiantang County...
