"Your Highness, I understand!"
Wei Jun clapped his hands and sighed, saying, "These trenches are more than three feet wide, and there is only a five or six-foot distance between two trenches. Moreover, they are piled with soil."
Even the most elite grassland bandit cavalry would be unable to run in such terrain.
"If they stop, I guarantee they'll die here!"
As he spoke, Wei Jun became somewhat agitated.
Even He Chaojun and others around him understood the purpose of these trenches.
The grassland bandits were powerful.
The royal guards of Dongning City numbered only a little over a thousand.
Even with the entire city's population united as one, the disparity in strength was too great when facing tens of thousands of grassland bandits.
Therefore, we must rely on other means to defend Dongning City!
Thunderclap is one of them!
The watchtower is one of them!
New types of bows and arrows, crossbows, and ballistae are also among them!
And the trenches now are naturally one of them!
The trenches were connected and also linked to the watchtowers.
Behind them, there is another passage leading to Dongning City.
In this way, the two watchtowers, which were positioned in a defensive posture, and the old city of Dongning were connected together.
Infantry moving among them and supporting each other will be much faster.
By using trenches, the advantage of the grassland bandits and cavalry can be reduced.
The large number of infantrymen in Dongning City, along with the armed civilians within the city, were able to defeat the grassland bandits.
This is also the source of Li Xin's confidence in fighting against the grassland bandits!
"Wei Jun, He Chaojun,"
Li Xin instructed, "During this period, the infantry, Shence Battalion, and Shenji Battalion soldiers should make full use of the trenches for training."
Strive to become familiar with trench warfare as soon as possible!
"Yes, sir!"
