Chapter 833: Strictly Guard Against Death
Of course, you can't just count on the crossbow platform.
Things like crossbow stands are just for assistance.
If you want to defend yourself against the enemy, you need to formulate tactics.
Bai Feng directly withdrew all the soldiers here, and immediately Qin Liangyu led his own 10,000 Beifu soldiers to occupy the entire city wall.
As for these infantrymen, Bai Feng asked them all to find some large stones.
In addition to stone, there is saltpeter and dry charcoal.
Since there are so many enemies, bows and arrows alone are not enough, fire attacks are also needed.
Only fire attacks can deal with such a large-scale siege.
These Southeast Asian barbarians actually have no abilities at all, their attribute values are also very poor, and they have nothing to do with the Qiang people.
In fact, their attribute values are not as good as those of the Qiang people.
After all, the Qiang people still have cavalry, but these barbarians only have infantry.
After all, the horses in Southeast Asia are definitely incomparable to the horses in the north.
Since there is no cavalry, fire attack is naturally the most suitable.
However, this is actually different from using fire attacks when dealing with the Qiang people.
After all, this is Southeast Asia, where sudden heavy rains often occur.
Bai Feng is not a meteorology expert, so it is impossible to know when it will suddenly rain.
However, this is only an alternative.
As long as it doesn't rain, just use fire attacks to kill the soldiers attacking the city.
As for when it rains, there is no other way but to use bows and arrows to resist them first, and then use stones.
Since we are going to use fire to attack, we naturally need to make wine.
"General Yu Jin, how much food do we have here?"
“Rice, mostly rice.”
Bai Feng asked Yu Jin while busy watching the craftsmen building the crossbow platform.
Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, then said:
"You can get as much rice as you want. Cochin is already rich in rice, so there is no shortage of food here."
"In addition, some time ago, the King of Wei also sent people to transport a large amount of luggage from Jingzhou, including at least hundreds of thousands of dan of rice."
"As for other food, there is also a lot of it."
"Don't worry, sir, the baggage will definitely be sufficient."
"The reinforcements from Jingzhou, Jiangdong and Bashu have also brought a large amount of baggage, preparing to fight a protracted battle with the Sun and Liu coalition forces."
After hearing Yu Jin's words, Bai Feng couldn't help but nodded slightly:
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'm relieved."
"Order people to take out all the rice."
Yu Jin was stunned for a moment:
"ah?"
"Sir, there is so much rice. Although we have many soldiers, we can't use so much for food."
Bai Feng waved his hand and said:
"Who said it's for eating?"
"What's that for?"
At this time, some monks in Yu Jin were confused.
"Winemaking."
As Bai Feng spoke, he helped the craftsman pull down the bamboo.
"What?!"
Hearing these two words, Yu Jin was stunned.
Making wine?
What time has it been? Why are you still making wine?
I have never heard that Bai Feng is an alcoholic.
Even so, now that brewing is to boost morale, there is no need for so much grain to brew.
Hundreds of thousands of kilos of rice!
So much rice is used to make wine, how much will it cost?
When Bai Feng saw Yu Jin standing there stunned, he couldn't help but frown and said:
"General Yu Jin, what are you waiting for? Why don't you go quickly?"
"We're going to run out of time soon."
"It's almost night now. If the Sun and Liu coalition forces come to attack at night, what will we do?"
Yu Jin was completely stunned when he heard that Bai Feng was so thin, but he definitely did not dare to go against Bai Feng's wishes and quickly ordered to take out all the rice.
Bai Feng gave Yu Jin a blueprint.
This drawing describes in detail how to make extremely high-alcohol liquor.
In fact, the main thing is the technique, and the materials used are basically the same.
This drawing was handwritten by Bai Feng, and it was more detailed than the one redeemed from the system.
After all, what the system exchanged was not necessarily suitable for Da Wei, so Bai Feng replaced it with Da Wei's existing items.
Yu Jin was confused when he saw this brewing method that was completely different from his impression, as well as the amazing refining method.
However, he did it anyway.
What Bai Feng requested was that the wine should be sealed and fermented tonight.
Generally speaking, it takes three to five days, and the wine is enough.
It’s not for drinking anyway.
Bai Feng wants these high-altitude wines, mainly to use wine to expand the range of the flames.
After arranging all these things, Bai Feng began to formulate a shift system.
When there are no enemies, only about 3,000 people need to be left on the entire city wall.
There were three shifts in total, keeping an eye on the enemy.
At night, four thousand people are needed.
Fortunately, the first night passed safely, and Bai Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the Sun-Liu coalition will not be able to attack in a short time.
In this case, you are always buying yourself time.
As long as we have time, we can save Jiaozhi, which is now in a state of dilapidated fortifications, as soon as possible.
After all, as long as Jiaozhi is defended, no matter how hard the Sun and Liu coalition forces try, it will be of no avail.
This Jiaozhi is like Shanhaiguan in the north. It is difficult for foreigners to enter.
The requirements for the crossbow platform are reduced to a minimum. Just ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity. There is no need to worry about anything else.
Just make sure that the subsequent crossbow cart can be safely placed on the crossbow platform after being transported.
Without the ballista, it would still be too difficult to defend the city.
What's more, the ballista is not only used to launch crossbow arrows.
Whether it's a wine jar, a rocket, or a grenade, it can all be launched through the crossbow platform.
If you're lucky, it can also be used as a large sniper/gun.
Directly shoot a crossbow arrow with a grenade to the rear.
If the bombing directly hits the commanding general, the soldiers attacking the city will basically retreat on their own.
However, this probability is still extremely low, and Bai Feng does not consider this.
In this way, two days and one night passed, and it had been three days since Bai Feng arrived in Jiaozhi.
During this period of time, Li Dian from Jingzhou led an army of 100,000 people to come to help, which made Bai Feng relieved a lot.
The more people there are, the greater the chance of being able to defend the city.
What's more, more soldiers are coming here.
However, the entire Cochin can only accommodate 300,000 soldiers at most.
Any more will become a burden.
Therefore, Bai Feng also specially discussed with the people to let the people living in the south gate move north.
Under the city wall, a large number of camps were built.
With these camps, they will come in handy when reinforcements totaling 100,000 from Jiangdong and Bashu arrive.
At this moment, Bai Feng suddenly heard a rustling sound in the distance.
