The structure of Zhaojiabao is a small castle with a big bunch, which is a small castle that is used to produce glass products and has always been a place of strict guarding.

With the construction of tens of thousands of refugees, the city wall was built after half a month. It looked very different from other city walls.

Not only are the eight convex corners, but the city walls are also poured with cement, and the walls are painted straight.

It also entered the final stage and there were no more people. Jiang Rong and most of them began to build Anmin Fortress, and Zhao Yan began to build a defense system.

If the enemy attacks, how to defend?

The eight arrow towers were all poured with cement and could accommodate ten musketeers. The arrow tower must have enough guns and bullets. Cannons must be installed on three sides. There are no cannons yet. Zhao Yan just drew down the position of the hypothetical cannon.

Then form a firepower net without dead corners.

With such a system of only one hundred percent, if the enemy sieges intensively, there will inevitably be heavy casualties.

But this is not enough. If the enemy continues to hit the bastion despite casualties, some measures are needed to prevent climbing. Generally, the most common method of climbing is cloud ladders. Cloud ladders are tightly clamped on the wall, so it is generally difficult to push the cloud ladders down.

Generally, those who guard the city use a square iron plate with sharp thorns under the iron plate, then hang it with a rope, and put a rolling wooden frame on the top of the city, then directly put the iron plate down along the ladder, and then pull the iron plate back after tying the climbing enemy.

Well! There must be several items for each side.

Grenades must also be available, and grenades can also develop throwing troops. Although the field effect may not be very effective, it is still very effective in defensive battles. After all, being condescending and throwing better can make up for the shortcomings of slow fire speed of artillery and being more effective against fish that miss the net.

When a car crash is damaged, it is not a problem if the cannon does not blow up the car crash. After all, the city gate is blown open and you can still defend behind the city gate.

Generally, siege parties rarely deal with the city gate. After all, the city gate defense can defend behind the city gate. The city gate is just a narrow passage. After often breaking open the city gate, a large number of casualties cannot be attacked.

During wartime, we must also prevent the enemy from digging tunnels. There are already ways to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels. If you listen to the sound and determine the position in the urn, then dig it over and directly pour sulfur or water. The tunnel warfare can be said to be very cruel.

These defense methods can already strictly prevent the enemy from attacking.

But there are still several ways to conquer the sacking. The first is to use cannons to bombard him. If he bombards tens of thousands of shells, it can be said that it is a stupid method, and he will completely smash it with silver.

The second type is to siege until the ammunition and food are exhausted and surrender.

The third type is the soil-piling tactic, because the walls of the castle are generally not high, you can pile up dirt all the way, pile up a pile of soil higher than the city wall and press it all the way.

When the defense is highly vigilant, only these three methods can be conquered.

The most important thing about the city defense is to be vigilant, reserves, reinforcements, and Zhao Yan gathered the three promoted guards, and set clear tasks and assessment standards for them.

In addition to urging the local charity to train the countryside, the task of guarding the guard must also ensure that there is enough food and ammunition in the fort. Pingyu also needs to send people to investigate around the surrounding area. Once an enemy army is at the city, it will immediately enter the defensive state.

In one month, Zhaojiabao has been completely prepared except for the lack of artillery.

During this month, Zhao Yong and Lin Yi kept sending people to take back the prisoners captured when suppressing bandits. These prisoners were arrested for labor reform, with a number of more than 3,000 people, and they were all young and strong.

These prisoners were captured and immediately became the new force for fortifications.

A labor camp was built outside Zhaojiabao to take care of these bandits. Ordinary bandits were first re-educated for two years, and then distributed.

Those bandit leaders and senior backbones were serious crimes, some of whom had been in labor reform for five years, and some of whom had been in labor reform for ten years, and those were convicted depending on whether the circumstances were serious or not.

At this time, Zhao Yong and Lin Yi also came back. After a month of suppressing bandits, nearly 30 people were killed. But the harvest was also very rich, and more than 5,000 stones of food were seized, totaling 30,000 taels of gold and silver, and more than 300 mules and horses were seized.

A total of fifteen nests of bandits were wiped out and more than 1,300 beheaded. It can be said that the bandits near the official road from Dengzhou to Laizhou were plowed. Except for a few nests of stubborn bandits, the rest were eliminated.

"Some rely on familiar terrain and hide in the deep mountains as soon as they enter the suppression, while others occupy dangerous places. We lack the ability to attack and can only sigh." Zhao Yong told Zhao Yan about the situation of those bandits.

"One of the other soldiers who died in battle was killed because they were not covered by melee troops. The other half was killed by sneak attacks by bandits and crossbows, and they also lost their armor."

Based on the experience of this bandit suppression, Zhao Yan realized many shortcomings. First of all, melee units, generally melee units are musketeers. After musketeers shoot, they draw out their waist knives and enter the square formation, stand beside the spearmen and fight close to the enemy.

This time, the bandit suppression was not taken out because the musketeers did not have muskets, and they suffered a loss. Most of the casualties appeared in that battle.

In addition, there is a lack of armor. Although the craftsmen under Zhao Yan can make armor, Zhao Yan is not very fond of that kind of armor. At the same time, because there are not many craftsmen, there is no time to create other things, so how can I have time to create armor?

The best armor is naturally plate armor, which is the pinnacle of armor. After that, the continuous progress of firearms ended the era of armor.

Plate armor is an armor with the strongest protection ability under the same weight and gives soldiers the largest lightweight armor. It cannot be made with human power, and the plate armor must be made with a hydraulic forging machine.

In addition, there is also a lack of attacking ability, and artillery is also in urgent need.

After Zhao Yong came back, Wang Wenyue first digested the experience Zhao Yong learned in this bandit suppression, and then started to move forward.

The Second Battalion dispatched to suppress the bandits and brought the musketeers from the base camp.

After one month of construction, the number of muskets was scrapped when practicing marksmanship was reduced, and the number of muskets was barely collected. In addition to equipped muskets, each of these musketmen was equipped with a waist knife.

At the same time, Wang Wenyue was dispatched to Laizhou to suppress the bandits this time, and he needed to set up another supply station in Pingdu. According to Zhao Yong's experience in suppressing bandits, those bandits had some food reserves, which was completely sufficient for the team to consume, and they could not use the supply station. However, setting up a supply station after all, there are benefits, and there will be places for supply when passing through Pingdu in the future.

The supply station was handed over to Zhao Quan to complete. At present, the Zhao family's "Jimin Commercial Bank" is expanding to the entire Shandong area. First, to collect information, second, to earn money, and third, to provide supplies to the army.

At present, the shops in the shop only have a single shop like a glass shop. Although they do not sell glass mirrors, they sell various glassware and handicrafts.

Lin Yi's cavalry battalion half followed him to suppress the bandits, while the other half were used to protect the caravans.

The number of merchants who transport supplies from the East Sanfu has gradually increased this month.
