Chapter 203 Xiongcheng
Xue Ke pointed to a winding river outside the city and asked, "Which river is this?"
Mo Wu introduced: "This is Pushui. Our Tianxue City is built on the natural dangers and mountains of Pushui for defense."
After listening to Mo Wu's introduction, Xue Ke remembered the classification of cities in Sun Tzu's Art of War "City of Heroes":
Castles that live in high places or backed by mountains and have good water sources are called "male cities" and are very difficult to conquer; castles that live in low places, between two mountains or backed by valleys and have little water and grass are called "female cities." , as long as you have enough strength, you can defeat it with one attack.
Tianxue City is obviously a typical "majestic city". No wonder the Star Luo Empire has been difficult to break for so many years.
Xue Ke looked around and saw the majestic city wall extending infinitely to both sides along with the undulating mountains, winding and stretching for hundreds of miles.
The city wall is thick and high, with watchtowers set up at regular intervals on the city. The moat in front of the city is deep and wide, surrounded by the river in the distance, which is majestic and breathtaking.
Mo Wu then said: "The geographical location of Tianxue City is very important. The Star Luo Empire has attacked Tianxue City many times. In order to cope with the various strange siege methods of the Star Luo Empire, such as soil accumulation, ladders, tunnel digging, and water attacks , the ant attack along the city, or the siege equipment such as stone bombers and nest vehicles, the city lords of the past generations have built the city wall many times."
Immediately afterwards, Mo Wu took Xue Ke to see various defensive weapons, such as crossbows, halberds, spears, axes, collars, scythes, fortress stones, caltrops, etc., as well as various four-wheeled wooden carts for transporting earth and people. It was an eye-opener for Xue Ke.
"There is a large amount of water, sand and stones hidden in the city, as well as water jars, tiles, poppies and other containers, as well as fire stoves, cauldrons, etc., to deal with the enemy's fire attacks, or to use them to water the enemies who climb up the city wall."
Xue Ke kept Mo Wu's words in mind, secretly thinking that one day in the future, he might lead his soldiers to use these primitive but effective tools to defend the city.
Xue Ke discovered that outside the city wall was an endless stretch of bare wilderness, with Hengge City of the Star Luo Empire on the opposite side vaguely visible.
"Every once in a while, we have to send people to cut down all the trees outside the city, leaving no debris. In short, everything that can be brought into the city will be transported away, leaving nothing for the Star Luo Empire to use for siege. thing."
Xue Ke nodded, this is what the ancients often said about a strong wall and a clear field.
After visiting the city defense of Tianxue City, Xue Ke said goodbye to Mo Wu and walked alone in the urban area of Tianxue City.
There are many shops in the city, and teams of soldiers patrol alternately. The order in the city is relatively stable.
Xue Ke came to the door of a clothing store and wanted to buy some clothes for Wei Xi. At this moment, a frivolous voice came into Xue Ke's ears.
"Which young lady is this? She looks so charming. Let me take a good look at her."
Xue Ke turned around and found a young man wearing aristocratic clothing looking at him with serious eyes, followed by six or seven guards.
The passers-by around him all started to disperse, as if they had seen some big devil.
The young man stepped forward, his eyes wandering over Xue Ke's body, not hiding his desire at all.
In order to facilitate movement, Xue Ke only wore a warrior uniform today, but it could not hide her beauty of "hibiscus comes out of clear water, and the natural carvings are removed".
Xue Ke's beauty is purely due to the miraculous workmanship of nature. Her shoulders are as sharp as a knife, her waist is like a silk bundle, her neck is long and graceful, her skin is smooth and fair, and her bright eyes are full of hope.
Xue Ke wore a warrior uniform decorated with pearls and small boots. She looked like a fairy from heaven. No wonder she aroused the covetousness of the noble princes in the city.
You are in a good mood today, and Xue Ke wants to play with this naughty young man.
"Young Master, may I ask your name?" Xue Ke raised his eyebrows.
The young man was a little surprised to see that Xue Ke was not afraid of him. He was used to being domineering in the city and often raped women. The people in the city were afraid of him, but this beautiful beauty was in front of him. The young man saw that he had no fear and was not panicked from beginning to end. This greatly increased the young man's interest and made him want to possess this lovely child, and he couldn't wait to get his hands on her immediately.
"You must be a foreigner, that's why you don't recognize me. My name is Mo Yu, and I am the only son of the city lord of Tianxue City. I fell in love with you at first sight. I wonder if I am honored to be favored by you?"
Mo Yu said this, but as long as Xue Ke dared to say no, the guards behind him would capture Xue Ke on the spot.
Xue Ke smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out he is the son of the city lord. That's good. I will go with the young master. I hope the young master will take good care of him!"
Mo Yu's eyes lit up. He never expected that this beauty would be so easy to get in touch with. Could it be that he was really impressed by my charming demeanor?
Xue Ke followed Mo Yu to the city lord's palace with a smile. Along the way, Mo Yu couldn't help but want to touch Xue Ke, but Xue Ke resolved them one by one, which made Mo Yu feel itchy.
This kind of woman who is about to get but has not yet got it is the most able to arouse the desire in a man's heart.
Soon, Xue Ke followed Mo Yu and others to the city lord's mansion.
Xueke secretly smiled in his heart, Mo Wu just visited me, and this time I visited him in person, and I was "held hostage" by his son, which must have scared him badly.
Mo Yu shooed away the servants and looked at Xue Ke mischievously: "Miss, can you come into the room with me and talk to me? I have a lot of things to say to you and a lot of things I want to do with you. I promise that I can make you happy." It’s like entering a fairyland.”
Xue Ke chuckled softly: "Did you say this to every girl you brought back? You said it so smoothly."
Mo Yu patted his chest and said proudly: "My young master is as tall as a jade tree and is charming and charming. Naturally, there are many women in the city who want to throw themselves into my arms."
Xueke smiled and shook his head: "I once met a prince who was more handsome than you. He was also very good at playing. He made three trips a day and was known as the Silver Tiger of Time. Finally, under my instruction, his fiancée helped He clicked. I have always had a "click" when it comes to those heartless men who can't control their lower bodies, or young men who rob civilian girls. I don't know which one you are, or both. ?”
Mo Yujiu was rolling among the flowers. How could he not understand what Xue Ke meant? He sneered and threatened: "I am both kinds. I advise you to obey me. If you make me happy, I might even treat you better." Please be gentle. If you dare to disobey, don't blame me for killing you first, then killing you again, and then killing you again."
Xue Ke tilted his head and thought for a moment, as if he had heard this last sentence somewhere.
"It seems that this is not the first time you have done something like this. How many innocent women in the city have been harmed by you?" Xue Ke asked.
Mo Yu's eyes were full of Yin Xie's color, as if he was reminiscing, and said: "There are not a hundred, but there must be seventy or eighty. It is simply wonderful!"
