Chapter 704 Well City
Looking at his father's extremely proud expression, Fubao finally understood who his second brother looked like.
"Bao, you are really wronging your father!"
Old Master Xu quickly put on a serious expression, "Dad, I can swear to heaven that I haven't gotten carried away at all."
What does it mean to be floating? Old Master Xu now understands it very well.
Although Mr. Xu was surprised by the special words his daughter used from time to time, he accepted them very quickly. After all, these words were sometimes very appropriate to describe people and things.
"Dad, pride goes before a fall!"
"Before your second brother comes back, you should honestly think about how to defend the city!"
"I think the savages outside will definitely not give up."
"Don't worry, Dad knows what's going on!"
Mr. Xu is very clear about his business.
After all, if Dragon City were breached, only one in a hundred people would survive.
There is no need to say more about the savages, who are even more brutal than the northern barbarians.
Take the present for example, the savages are cleaning up the battlefield outside the city, and some of them are even eating raw human flesh right outside.
If it weren't for Old Master Xu leading his men out of the city to fight and win the battle, the morale in the city would have plummeted to the bottom.
The savages, simply by eating humans, can cause terrible psychological pressure on many opponents.
Old Master Xu frowned, wondering how he could get his men to overcome this fear. Otherwise, facing the barbarians, while it might not be a big deal if the battle went smoothly, once the situation turned unfavorable, the morale of the army would collapse.
After all, most of the 100,000 garrison soldiers in Longcheng are garrison soldiers in ordinary counties and have never experienced a real battle.
The northern barbarian soldiers in the city had fought many battles, but their morale was more easily broken after being defeated by the savages one after another.
"Bao, do you have any good ideas?"
Old Master Xu thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution.
He simply looked at Fubao, hoping that his daughter could come up with a better idea.
Unfortunately, Fubao has no good solution in this regard.
Building the will of the military is a long-term task, and one that requires special refinement. As the saying goes, a sword's sharpness comes from constant grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
If you want to build an iron-clad army, it will definitely not be a matter of two or three days, nor a matter of a few words.
It’s not like training in the coldest and hottest days of winter and summer, but it’s not much different!
"Dad, there's nothing I can do about this!"
She is not Doraemon, and even if she were Doraemon, she couldn't solve every problem.
"Okay, I'll think about it!"
Old Master Xu scratched his head and started thinking about this problem again.
…
Outside the city, after the barbarian army set up camp far away, they did not launch an attack easily, but instead started digging holes in the ground.
Faced with the huge walls of Dragon City, the savages knew very well that their siege vehicles had no way of reaching the edge of the wall.
The kerosene tank attack in Dragon City was simply impossible to resist.
Since we can't succeed on the ground, then dig a hole.
The Northern Barbarians have been fighting with the savages for many years, but they know very little about them.
If this were to be told to others, it would be extremely funny.
The two tribes have been fighting for so many years. Although the Northern Barbarians may not know everything about the savages, they should at least know how many people there are and where they mainly live.
But in fact, the Northern Barbarians knew nothing.
For several days in a row, the savages did not make any movement, which made everyone in the city a little nervous.
Even more unfortunately, Fubao's eyelids started twitching again.
Therefore, Mr. Xu understood that the savages' attack was coming.
"Damn it, these beasts are not planning to get in through the hole!"
Mr. Xu said this subconsciously.
Then, he froze on the spot.
“Quick, quick, quick!”
"Go dig a hole under the city wall and install the jar!"
Old Master Xu didn't know whether his subconscious thought was correct or not, but the savages were a race with a civilized heritage, not true barbarians who knew nothing.
Therefore, they must understand the tactic of digging holes and attacking cities.
After receiving the order from Mr. Xu, the troops in the city quickly began to dig pits along the base of the city wall and lowered large vats to monitor whether there was any movement underground.
I have to say that the moves left by our ancestors are really useful.
Not long after, news came.
The savages were indeed digging holes, not just one tunnel, but many tunnels. They were preparing to take over Dragon City!
Even the savages don't care about playing tricks.
"You like digging holes, don't you? Then don't blame me for catching you in a jar!"
After confirming that the savages were indeed digging a hole, Mr. Xu did not plan to block the hole right away. Instead, he prepared to take advantage of the situation and give the savages a surprise.
"Gather the men and build a few well cities for me!"
"My Lord, what is Jingcheng?"
"Have you seen a well?"
Old Master Xu rolled his eyes at the soldier who asked the question and said, "Just build a wall on the ground like a wellhead to block the exit of the barbarian tunnel."
"I understand!"
After hearing what Mr. Xu said, everyone understood what he meant.
When the well city is built and the savages crawl out from underneath, the scene will be absolutely spectacular.
While Grandpa Xu was leading his people to frantically build the Well City in the city, Fubao's eyelids finally stopped twitching, which meant that his father really was lucky.
The Well City was built very quickly, and the city walls are also very strong. The Well City walls are like slopes, so even if you want to climb them, it would be impossible.
In addition, there are shooting holes on the walls of the well city wall, which are used to launch crossbow arrows.
At that time, the savages who entered the Well City would be lambs to be slaughtered.
Tuoba Aofeng watched all this being completed in one day, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. Even he himself didn't know what kind of mood he was in.
If the savages had not appeared, then their Northern Barbarian tribe would have been the ones to face Old Man Xu directly.
Faced with the difficult siege of Longcheng, he would probably resort to the tactic of digging holes. Then, the ones trapped in Jingcheng in the end might be his people, or even himself.
Fortunately, they are not enemies now.
Tuoba Aofeng secretly thought in his heart that he should never become an enemy of Old Man Xu in the future. This man is not only good at fighting, but also has many schemes and, most importantly, is extremely cruel and ruthless.
If you become an enemy of such a person, it would be difficult to die easily and quickly.
Old Master Xu had no idea that he had only temporarily created a Well City, but he had already scared Tuoba Aofeng to death.
Of course, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't take it seriously.
