Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 314 General Wang An summons his generals to discuss countermeasures

Seeing that they were no longer attacking the city, Ansheng State let the soldiers who were defending the city go back to their houses to have a good rest. Anyway, there were sentinels on duty with newly made telescopes, always keeping vigilant and observing the enemy's movements. Now it was much more convenient for them, and they didn't have to send people out to scout frequently. They could see the movements there just from the city wall.

In the military hall of General Wang An, the generals were also discussing the next move of the Dongjie Kingdom. What are those racks used for? If you are not stupid, you don't need to guess that they are things for siege. What needs to be considered now is that they want to build racks to attack the city, how should we fight back?

Some generals said nonchalantly: "Those racks are coming over here, we can just attack them with fire. As long as we can pour oil on them, nothing will burn. We have already sent people to observe, and those are all wooden racks."

Some generals echoed: "Yes, these are nothing to be afraid of..."

"If they dare to come over, we will burn them to ashes and make sure they never come back..."

But some generals thought: "What if the enemy is already prepared and we can't light it?"

General Wang An was also thinking about this problem. If the enemy didn't think of this, they wouldn't do this.

Now they need to think about how to prevent these towers from reaching the city walls, and how to defend and counterattack once these towers really reach the city walls.

General Wang An raised his own problem, and all the generals calmed down and thought about how to deal with it.

Once the high tower is pushed over, there must be archers in the back suppressing the guards, and soldiers climbing the city walls in the front. If this is the case, if some of the soldiers climbing the city walls can get up, it means that they have succeeded halfway.

The soldiers of Dongjie Kingdom were fierce and brave, tall and strong, much stronger than the soldiers of Ansheng Kingdom. In a one-on-one fight, the defenders of Ansheng Kingdom would definitely suffer.

The primary problem now is to prevent them from pushing over. The generals are at a loss. If fire attack doesn't work, it is too late to go out and dig trenches, and a moat is even more unrealistic.

After this, a wide moat must be dug outside the city to create a natural barrier. Otherwise, this high tower will become a big hazard in the future, making the defense of the city very passive.

At this time, Wang Xiaohu was also outside the hall, guarding the place. He also heard the discussion inside, and he also started to think about how to crack it.

Just at this time, the supplies delivered to Su He's home arrived. They had made an appointment with Wang Xiaohu at that time to send the supplies directly to him for arrangement.

While he had someone take the things and arrange them properly, he asked about the situation of the Su family. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. Su He, this clever little girl, might be able to come up with a good idea. She always has so many clever ideas. Why not ask her?

After he arranged for the Su family's servants to leave, he said hello to the guard in front of the door and rode his horse towards Su He.

At this time, there were few people on the streets, most of them stayed at home. Those who came out went to crowded places such as teahouses and restaurants to inquire for news.

He rode his horse at a steady pace towards the Su family, dismounted easily, and led the horse to the door. The doorman Meng Qiang saw that he was an acquaintance, so he led the horse for him and invited him into the yard.

Su He was busy with everyone else. When she heard someone looking for her, she quickly washed her hands and went to the front yard. She saw that it was Wang Xiaohu and said with a smile, "Uncle Xiaohu, why are you here? It's so busy in the front. If you have anything, just send someone to call us."

Wang Xiaohu waved for her to come over, and the two sat down at the stone table in the yard. He asked Su He, "I have something to talk to you about. The Dongjie Army outside is preparing to transport people directly to the city. This is very dangerous for us. I want to know if you have any way to stop them."

Su He didn't answer immediately when he heard it. After thinking about it carefully, he thought that it might not be so easy to solve.

She pondered for a long time and asked, "Uncle Xiaohu, fire attack must not work, right?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded seriously and said, "Everyone is thinking, if the enemy knows we have a fire attack and still comes over like this, they must have thought of fire prevention measures."
