Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Special Hanger
On the small square in the south gate city, surrounded by a group of forbidden soldiers in a big circle, one of them was playing something, Liu Yu stood at the height of the city tower, looking at the lively scene below with a smile, and from time to time tilted his head and chatted with the little Lori on the side.
"Come!" Jin Ming shouted, the stick in his hand had danced into a ball of light and shadow, covering him tightly, several forbidden soldiers heard his shout, each raised a bucket of water and splashed at him, the water splashed on the light and shadow, splashing everywhere, and the lively forbidden army was hit all over the face by the water drops.
"Good!" As Jin Ming retracted, the light and shadow disappeared in an instant, and if he looked closely, the ground in a small circle centered on his body was actually dry. In stark contrast to the wetlands outside the surrounding circle, Liu Yu and everyone were busy clapping their hands.
After revealing such a hand, Jin Ming drove away the forbidden army who were watching the excitement, and carried the thick white stick up to the city tower. The shape of the stick is very strange, the thick end has many holes in it, and the thin end has a circle of threads on it.
Watching Jin Ming go upstairs easily without sweating and panting, Liu Yu admired it very much, this stick was ordered by him in later generations, and the name was to make a floor-mounted hanger for the living room, and the thin end was the screw mouth that could be screwed directly into the cast iron chassis.
And the holes on this end of the thick head are actually screw mouths, and when Jin Ming came over, Liu Yu lifted a woven bag placed under his feet. There were pointed steel rods inside, and the end end was also a circle of threads, he took out one, let Jin Ming hold the stick, and screwed one end of the thread into the screw hole on the thick head.
"What is this?" Seeing that the stick in his hand suddenly turned into a long branch, Jin Ming was a little puzzled, Liu Yu didn't explain, threw the bag to him, and made a gesture of please, Jin Ming opened the bag and saw more than a dozen identical sharp sticks, and suddenly all the sharp sticks were loaded on the thick head according to Liu Yu's appearance.
"What a stainless steel toothstick." Holding the stick that was already covered with steel thorns, Jin Ming couldn't help but gasp, and he wanted to dance when he picked it up. Frightened, Liu Yu hurriedly retreated, this thing is really not a vegetarian, and it is also a shamlet to knock down the heavy armor.
Jin Ming smiled and put the stick away, but did not hand it over to his own soldiers, but held it in his hand, and it could be seen that he really liked it. Liu Yu despised it in his heart, isn't it just a hanger, as for it. Seeing that he was far away, Jin Ming had no choice but to lean his stick against the city wall and walk to his side.
"Do you think this is a feasible solution?" Liu Yu pointed to the sheep and horse wall outside the city, he was going to dig a tunnel around it behind this wall, and come to Jin Ming, mainly to discuss this matter, and it was a matter of passing to bring him the stick.
"This method is contained in the 'Law of Defending the City', and Wei Xiaokuan also used this method to deal with the siege of Gao Huan during the Battle of Yubi. If you are determined to do so, then order those righteous and brave to carry it out at night, for it will take some time for the Tartars to reach the outer wall, and in this climate, it is a small ditch to dig out. ”
I have to say that Jin Ming is indeed a crow's mouth, and in the big camp outside the city, Boyan is having a headache for this drainage problem. Of the four tunnels excavated at the same time, three were flooded with groundwater, and the remaining one was not much better, with water ticking on the wooden plank-made supports, and the water under his feet was no longer above his feet.
The situation of the rest of the gates is similar to this side, the more the tunnel goes down, the more water there is, and in the end people can't enter, so they have to give up, and in order to cross the moat, they have to dig as deep as possible, originally doing this kind of thing The Han army foot soldiers are very happy, thinking that after all, it is not as life-threatening as the siege, but since a tunnel collapsed and buried dozens of sergeants inside, everyone began to be unhappy.
While digging tunnels, a small-scale siege is also going on, but whether the attack reaches the city or not, the damn sound will make people unable to sleep every night, unless you stuff it with a cloth in your ears, but this is not a long-term solution, and even the people in the camp don't know how this sound came from.
Especially lately these sounds have become more and more pure noise, sometimes screaming, sometimes loud, sometimes even terrible cries, which make people feel creepy at night. For the first time, Boyan felt powerless, there was no place for powerful force.
Although there were no deserters in the camp for the time being, the morale of the Han army was no longer as high as usual, and the Mongols were only slightly better. But Boyan didn't want to retreat for such an inexplicable reason anyway, and he was defeated on the battlefield with dignity.
These days, some reinforcements have arrived one after another, bringing the total strength of the siege to nearly 200,000, and the great Genghis Khan's western expedition was no more than that. He was not yet fifty years old, and no matter what, Boyan hoped to make a decent result and increase his status in the eyes of the Great Khan.
Boyan stared at the city in the distance with angry eyes, and after a period of annoying music, the Han storytelling voice sounded again, whether he was wonderful or not, he just hoped that he would never hear this again. Cowardly and despicable, these people only dare to use this kind of destructive tricks against their own army, but they dare not go out of the city to fight, Boyan secretly scolded in his heart with a few words that he only knew.
Liu Yu couldn't hear Boyan's heart, although he was probably in the direction of Boyan's curse, and the volunteers in the West Gate had already been recruited, and each of them was given an ordinary shovel of the kind of later generations, and they only waited for dinner, and then went out of the city to dig a trench after the night was getting darker.
"You know, there's an interesting thing going on in the city." Little Lori said mysteriously, only at this time, Liu Yu felt that she was like a normal girl, long-winded and like to gossip, full of children's curiosity, and no longer the cold-faced shooter on the battlefield.
"Oh, what's so interesting about you?" Liu Yu looked at the area that was about to be excavated, and suddenly thought that he should drive another excavator, which would be much faster. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the enemy was too critical, he wouldn't have done it again.
"Recently, everyone has been going to the Mercy Bureau every day to play for the wounded soldiers, and this matter has been spread to the streets, and everyone says that her move is a bodhisattva's heart." Little Lori exclaimed in a low voice, with a touch in her eyes. A Western woman holding a cross appeared in Liu Yu's eyes, looking down on the world with supreme compassion
"Oh, wait, what are you talking about? Who. Liu Yu didn't care much about it, but the name she said made him stunned, since that day, he had never seen Gu Xixi again, he thought she would be angry, but people not only went to the radio every day as usual, but now they also took the initiative to comfort the wounded, which made Liu Yu feel that he was not too much.
Although he doesn't mind finding another bed partner or anything, in this city, under the current shape, Liu Yu doesn't want anything to happen to a woman, let alone hobbies and interests that have no intersection at all. Thinking of the things sent by her maidservant that day, Liu Yu sighed secretly, she was really a stubborn woman.
Liu Yu knew very well what the Bureau of Mercy and Grace was like, and despite all the cleaning and disinfection measures implemented, it still looked unsightly for a woman. It is already commendable to be able to go every day and perform ward by ward, which not only requires courage, but also has to put down face.
"You choose a few people from among the pro-soldiers, and they will stay in the Mercy and Grace Bureau to prevent everyone from being harassed, and if there are those who do it, just take it." After thinking about it, Liu Yu still didn't want her kindness to meet a bad encounter.
"There is no need for this, I heard that those wounded treat everyone like immortals, and they don't dare to look at it more, how can it be as unbearable as you say." When the pheasant slave heard this order, he looked at Liu Yu suspiciously, didn't he make people chew his tongue in such a careful arrangement.
Liu Yu found that he was thinking about the problem with the thinking of later generations, and the moral force at this time still had a strong binding force, far from being comparable to his own generation that lost his faith. Liu Yu shook his head and stopped talking, in his sight, the smoke of cooking rose all over the city, and the fragrance of rice rose over the city.
"Weicheng is light and dusty in the rain, and the guest house is green and willow-colored. persuade the gentleman to drink a glass of wine, and there is no reason for the west to go out of Yangguan" came from the radio, crying and complaining, just like that delicate face with grievances.
In the private room of the "Home Inn Express Hotel" on Jiqing Road, Su Wei walked into Liu Yu's room humming a song, ready to help him clean as usual and wash his clothes by the way. There weren't many things in Liu Yu's room, with a few empty beer cans on the coffee table, and an empty cigarette carton and ashtray cigarette butts on the side.
Su Wei shook her head, she didn't dislike men smoking, but she didn't like those people who smoked too fiercely, making the whole room smell of smoke. Sweeping the trash into the black bag, she pulled up the curtains and opened a few windows to let in the fresh air outside.
Liu Yu's clothes were stacked on a single sofa, Su Wei picked them up one by one, and he didn't know how much his boss liked Hanfu, except for shorts and vests, the rest were all of this kind, Su Wei lifted a long shirt and trembled, and suddenly a piece of paper fell out of it.
This is a piece of pink rough-edged paper, folded in half like a card, Su Wei picked it up and opened it, a strange fragrance of fat powder came to her face, I don't know why, the figure of a lady in ancient costume suddenly appeared in her mind, just like the one on TV.
Only a simple sentence was written on this piece of paper, like an ancient poem, with neither a title nor a paragraph, and the handwritten brush handwriting was beautiful, very beautiful.
"140,000 people are disarmed, and none of them are men."
Su Wei was stunned for a moment.
