At this time, the crowd who were watching the race at the racecourse also gathered around. Get ready to see what makes this wall, which used thousands of conscripts, stand out.

After setting up the artillery and filling the ammunition, the soldiers retreated and struck at the first section of the wall.

When the cannonball sounded, Chu Jinfeng's brows furrowed slightly, because he found that the cannon had undergone some improvements, and it sent out five consecutive cannonballs, and the five round bullets flew out in the shape of a fan towards the city wall. There was a loud bang on the wall, and although the wall was smashed into a deep pit by the cannonball, the wall still did not fall after the smoke and fog had cleared.

Everyone was shocked by the roar of the cannon fire and let out a cry of "ahh

Then the gun carriage shifted its position again, to the wall that had been built a section later, and then concocted, reloaded, and prepared for a new round of trials. When the twist was lit, and five bullets were fired again, striking the wall, there was another loud bang. However, after that loud noise, people clearly heard a few crisp clicks. When the smoke cleared, people involuntarily opened their eyes again, only to see that the entire city wall was like tofu poured, crumbling, struggling several times, no longer able to support it, and collapsed violently.

At this time, among the onlookers, the voice of surprise suddenly exploded. People are amazed at how the fortifications, which are also newly constructed, stand out on one side and become vulnerable on the other. Seeing this scene, Bai Chuanxiong straightened up very exaggeratedly, his eyes widened, as if his father and mother had died, and asked sharply, "Why is this happening?" ”

Chu Jinfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth were pursed like a blade, and he didn't say a word, just motioned to Guan Ba on the side to go over and see what was going on with the city wall.

At this moment, Nangong Yun also nodded lightly, motioning for Shen Rubai to follow along. When the two of them returned, Shen Rubai was holding two fragments of the city wall in his hand, one was the fragment of the city that had been bombarded by the first shell, and the other was the fragment of the city wall that had just collapsed. When they were brought to Bai Chuanxiong, the soldiers on the side and the officials of various states and counties could also see that the color of the clay sticking to the two pieces was completely different. The rammed earth of the impregnable walls was grayish-white, while the slag-like walls were the normal black earth color.

Seeing these two fragments, Nangong Yun's face tightened, his eyes were full of frost, and he reprimanded Shen Rubai and said, "Lord Shen, what's going on at this time!" Didn't the saint say that the fortifications in the north of the desert must use the clay of Tongxian? Why is it that this shattered wall is not made of rammed earth by the Holy One himself? ”

Hearing Nangong Yun's question, Shen Rubai's heart was now completely bright.

This Nangong Yun's mind turned out to be so meticulous and vicious. He had previously ordered himself to bring the drawings to the Sima Mansion to find Li Ruoyu to rebuild the ship, which was a trap to manipulate people's hearts. If it weren't for the reverse scales of this Chu Jinfeng, maybe this Lord Sima would have calmed down and calmly thought about how to solve the problem of transporting clay. However, Nangong Yun looked anxious, and put on a posture that Li Ruoyu had to come out, which made Master Sima jealous, and resolutely disagreed with the transformation of the ship and used local clay instead.

It's just that it stands to reason that although the texture of this local clay is not as good as the specialty of Tongxian, Chu Jinfeng ordered the craftsmen to pour it with glutinous rice juice and lime, and it will not be too inferior. I don't know how this South Park made the city wall collapse so terrifying......

Listening to Nangong Yun's fierce scolding of himself, Shen Rubai didn't dare to think about it, and he already knew how to deal with the situation in his heart. Hurriedly knelt down and said: "Lord Qiyu, there was a heavy rain a while ago, and the ship transporting clay capsized, and the clay supply in Tongxian County was not available for a while. Xia Guan couldn't be the master, so he told Lord Sima to see if he could ask Mrs. Sima, who was good at shipbuilding, to come forward to rebuild the ship, but ......" Saying this, he seemed to raise his eyes in fear and looked at Chu Jinfeng's face.

Nangong Yun said quietly: "Now that the officials of various states and counties are here, and General Bai and I are here to preside over the overall situation, what else do you dare not say?" ”

Only then did Shen Rubai muster up the courage to say: "But Lord Sima thought that Mrs. Sima was delicate and didn't want her to work too hard, so he decided to replace the clay in Tongxian with local clay. The walls that have just collapsed were made of local clay. ”

Shen Rubai's voice was not high, but it was not low, and the officials around him were surprised when they heard it, and they talked about it. only said, "Even if you love your wife as your life, you shouldn't joke about state affairs!" The silver taels invested in this fortification are not more than 10 million, how can they let the silver taels go down in vain because they are afraid that their wife will be tired? ”

The words spread out like a rolling wave, and even the people in the distance heard a little wind, chattering and talking, but the more the words spread, the more unbearable it became, and in the end, I don't know if there were people who were in the crowd, and it became Lord Sima to fill his own pockets, secretly shortened the silver taels for the construction of the fortifications, and used the inferior materials to build the fortifications, so that the city wall was useless, and the hard work of the people in Mobei in the past few months was all in vain. In the event of a war, how can the walls you have just seen be up to the task?

After Shen Rubai finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head and asked Nangong Yun for his guilt. But in his heart, he secretly sneered, this Nangong Yun is really a good means. This Chu Jinfeng is an iron-cast King Kong, strong soldiers, strong horses, and arrogant and domineering, if you fight with him, I am afraid that you will not be able to get any benefits. However, when the people of the Mobei Jockey Club were selected, the city wall was inspected, which created the illusion that Chu Jinfeng cut corners, which really shook the hearts of the people in Mobei. The fortifications will continue next, but knowing that a wall defending Mobei can only be used as an ornament, but how will the people involved in the fortifications think, and can they still do their best as before? Only now did he understand that Nangong Yun's use of this fortification was not only the people's power in Mobei, but also the reputation and fame that Chu Jinfeng had accumulated over the years.

Chu Jinfeng of course also understood where Nangong Yun's poisonous plan was pointing at this time. When General Bai lowered his face and said that the two pieces were presented to him, and asked him how he explained, he said in a deep voice: "What Lord Shen said is basically true, although the clay in Tongxian County is good, the cost of transporting it is too high, and I am afraid that the construction period will be delayed. This seat was the main one to replace the fortifications with local clay. Lord Bai should be clear, the city wall of Mobei has been built with local clay for hundreds of years, and there is no situation just now, and the details inside still need to be investigated slowly by this seat.

Nangong Yun stood up straight, and when he came to Chu Jinfeng, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Li Ruoyu who was standing beside him, and said with a warm smile: "I think it's also that Lord Sima is not familiar with civil engineering, and you need to know that hundreds of years ago there were no strong ships and cannons today, if you blindly follow the ancient method, how to resist the invasion of strong enemies?" If it is convenient for adults, I still hope that Mrs. Sima can show her miraculous skills and share worries for the country, which can be regarded as relieving the anxiety of the people in Mobei, and the lower officials will naturally prepare the plum tea and sweet cakes that Mrs. likes to drink in the fortification camp, and wait for Mrs. to teach ......" After speaking, he turned around and left with his subordinates.

That General Bai had the heart to taunt a few more words, but Chu Jinfeng's face was really gloomy now. This Second Master Bai can be regarded as being bullied by this tyrant in the capital when he was young, as long as Chu Jinfeng's eyebrows and eyes were slightly wrinkled, his heart trembled. Anyway, Nangong Yun's purpose has been achieved, so he should accept it when he sees it, hurry back to write a book, and take a good look at this Chu Jinfeng. Immediately, he snorted coldly and left.

The next Marseille is about to start again, but the hearts of the people are frightened by the terrifying scene just now. Even if Marseille continued, everyone was still talking about the collapse of the city wall just now.

The sound of the cannon has blasted the people's confidence to the ground.

Chu Jinfeng's eyesight was very good, and when he was discussing it just now, he had already seen a few people dressed like servants blending in with the people at the right time, diligently spreading rumors. He also knew that he had fallen into the trap set by Nangong Yun.

The guy's eyes just now actually looked straight at Ruoyu, and although he spoke reasonably, his tone was very frivolous. It seems that it is a sure way to win, as long as a soft sedan chair can take Ruoyu to Wanzhou City......

At that moment, his hands were half-raised, ready to crush the throat of the face.

But now that the people's hearts have been shaken, if the thunder method is used again, it will be the poisonous plan of Nangong Yun, which will make the people's hearts even more discouraged, and they will not be able to distinguish the truth. The military exercise is imminent, if this matter cannot be resolved smoothly, without waiting for the emperor to blame, there will be little left of Mobei's military spirit. So instead of returning to the horse farm at once, he went to the wall that had just collapsed, reached out and picked up a few pieces, and found that the clay was boiling hot and a little soft. This couldn't help but make him a little suspicious, was it really because he was stubborn and chose inferior clay?

At this moment, he turned around and saw Ruoyu also following, half-crouching and concentrating on picking up a few pieces of iron shrapnel, trying to piece them together. Chu Jinfeng was about to call Su Xiu to come over and say that his wife would take him away, but he found that Ruoyu was fiddling with his hands quickly, and quickly spliced several pieces of shrapnel into shape, which was a hollow shell. Chu Jinfeng also half-squatted beside Ruoyu, picked up a piece of shrapnel, sniffed it, and smelled not only the saltpeter smell of gunpowder, but also a strange sour smell between his noses, and immediately understood in his heart what this Nangong Yunzhun was doing in the hollow of the five shells, raised his head and shouted: "Guan Ba, call that Meng Qianji!" 166 Reading Network
