Chapter Ninety-Six: Tunnel Excavation

"Yu Taishou, it's Jiang Cai, it's a quarter of noon, it's over."

"Jiang Dutong, to be precise, it's a quarter and three minutes at noon, please look at it carefully next time, it's over."

Liu Yu looked at the time on his watch, and unceremoniously pointed out that just kidding, it was only twelve hours a day, and he said it so generally, do you know what it means to "miss a millimeter, a thousand miles wrong." After correcting it on the intercom, Liu Yu continued to connect to the next one.

After a few days of training, Jin Ming and several others have been able to understand the dial in their hands, and Liu Yu will do this from time to time every day in order to continue to strengthen their awareness. These people are already able to report it more proficiently, unlike at the beginning, when they had to stare for a long time before they could guess it stumblingly.

These watches were still ordered in the new Shen factory in the magic capital, and the next step will be to popularize to the first level of the capital, and this large order made the director of the Wang factory overjoyed. Since it was used in the military, Liu Yu placed special emphasis on sturdiness and durability, removing all unnecessary decorations.

The Tartars outside the city have resumed the siege operation, but it is no longer the same scale as the previous simultaneous attack on all sides, but by lot, today the west gate, tomorrow the east gate, and the day after tomorrow it will be replaced by the south gate, and there are not many troops involved, and several times the city wall has retreated without touching it.

Liu Yu didn't care about the enemy's thoughts, so he regarded it as a training, and thousands of defenders took turns to go to the city, leading the old with the new, so that the township soldiers who had just been promoted to the forbidden army saw blood. It seemed to him that these attacks were directed against those who were broadcasting to the enemy, and these things were almost non-stop, and even the defenders of the city could not stand it.

The little Lori on the side looked down at her wrist from time to time, then looked up at the sky, and counted silently in her heart with her fingers. Her piece is men's, and the huge dial is covered with her little wrists, which looks very incongruous, but the little girl doesn't care about it, Liu Yu doesn't care about her, just treat it as a toy.

"Attention, the Tartars are coming up again, guard their positions, don't panic, wait until they get closer before releasing arrows!" The figure of the enemy appeared in the telescope again, Liu Yu raised the horn and gave an order in a loud voice, and Xiao Lori immediately came back to her senses, grabbed the big bow beside her, and stared at the outside of the city with a solemn expression.

Seeing the enemy slowly approaching, Liu Yu knew that it was another routine attack, and with a few soft sounds, the bed crossbow at the head of the city shot out first, and the huge iron spear lightly tore apart the big shield of the foot soldier, nailing the human body behind him to the ground, and let out a miserable scream.

Immediately after that, several catapults began to fire, and the stone projectiles thrown high smashed into the enemy line and bounced up, and then fell, this time the enemy was not as tough as the last time, and there was still some distance from the moat before they began to turn around and retreat, so that the defenders who had been waiting for a long time with bows and crossbows let out an earth-shattering shout.

"Sister Pheasant, what do you think they want to do?" Xiao Lori put down the big bow in her hand and just raised her wrist when she heard Liu Yu ask.

"Who knows, show me your clairvoyant mirror." After the pheasant slave finished speaking, Liu Yu took off the telescope hanging around her neck and put it on her little hand.

The pheasant slave pursed her lips and raised the mirror to look into the distance, changing her perspective from time to time, scanning the enemy camp back and forth, these places were all seen by Liu Yu repeatedly, and she didn't find anything abnormal, looking at her focused, did she miss something?

"There are a few people on the right side of the catapult who are acting strangely and seem to be digging in the earth." After a while, the pheasant slave put down the binoculars, pointed to the distance and said, Liu Yu took it from her hand, and looked in the direction of her finger. What's the point of being so far away.

"They probably want to dig tunnels, if they dig directly under the city wall, they may collapse the city wall." The pheasant slave's next words surprised Liu Yu, could she be so strict, it can be seen that her expression of indifference made people unable to tell whether it was true or false, Liu Yu looked at her suspiciously.

"It's okay, that river is very deep, and now it's the rainy season, and the tunnel is full of water, and the deeper it is, the more difficult it is to dig, I think they are all in vain." The pheasant slave pointed to the moat and explained, Liu Yu was slightly relieved after listening to it, but this little girl's words still made him dare not believe it.

Liu Yu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to discuss with Jin Ming and the others, although these people's views were similar to those of the pheasant slave, they still couldn't dispel his worries. In his memory, this city seems to have a history of being breached by tunnels, and when exactly did he decide to go back to the future to check it.

It was nearly June, and Jinling City already smelled of a stove, and the fat man still felt extremely hot and irritable in his air-conditioned room, and he walked around the room, sweat sliding down his fat face.

"What, do you miss your wife, things are almost the same here, just have them here, you go back to the imperial capital, help me sit in the head office." Liu Yu knocked on the door and came in, and when he saw him like this, he was a little funny.

"It's okay, I'll go back first, call me anytime if you have something, this ghost weather is too uncomfortable." The fat man reached out and wiped his sweat, and said with a bitter face.

"Okay, it's nothing, hurry up and book a plane ticket, and help me bring a good statement when I get to the imperial capital." Liu Yu pushed him out of the door, the fat man looked at him, hesitated to say something, but finally didn't say anything, went out and went down to the hotel lobby to book a plane ticket.

Liu Yu was originally very afraid of heat, he stayed for a long time in ancient times, and has gradually become cold and heat-resistant, this change makes him feel magical, the air conditioner in the fat man's room is turned on very big, so he is very uncomfortable, he sneezed several times in succession, and hurriedly went out to his room.

After staying in the room for a while, Su Wei walked in with a few pieces of printer paper, she was wearing a floral short-sleeved jumpsuit, and her long wavy hair was tied up with a white headband, which looked very refreshing.

"Well, yes, it's beautiful." Liu Yu glanced at it appreciatively, praised casually, took the printing paper and looked at it. Su Wei disagreed with his compliment, not to mention that he had worn this dress for a few years, and the things were also very cheap and discounted, beautiful? Let's say it by the way.

Liu Yu looked at the words on the paper, his face slowly began to be solemn, these are two battles that happened in ancient times, one was the Taiping army's attack on Jinling City, and the other was the defense of Tianjing thirteen years later, the two battles separated by more than ten years have a common feature, the attackers have used authentic tactics.

Su Wei looked at his boss's focused appearance, and didn't know why the content on it made him frown, what kind of plan did he make a few days ago based on ancient times, does the company want to invest in making movies? She shook her head, and saw that Liu Yu's cup was dry and only tea leaves were left, so she helped him fetch water.

Liu Yu, who was fascinated, subconsciously reached out to take the cup, but grabbed it empty, looked up, and saw that Su Wei was walking over with his cup, and hurriedly put down the printing paper in his hand and took it.

"Don't stand, sit, do you have enough money?" Liu Yu saw that she hadn't left, thinking that something was wrong, so he beckoned her to sit down.

"Mr. Liu, last month's salary was paid, but" Su Wei lowered his head and said softly.

"But what?" Liu Yu asked strangely, she didn't let the finance deduct her money.

"The amount is not right, I said last time, it will be deducted from the salary." As she spoke, her face turned a little red.

"Oh, that's it, I didn't tell Director Zhao, it's okay, you take it first, and then talk about it later." I don't know why, Liu Yu didn't tell her the truth, but he just thought her cautious appearance was funny, and he especially wanted to tease her.

"Send this to the mailboxes of those people last time, and tell them to make a defense plan, or on the condition of ancient times, it is better to be faster. I'll go to the warehouse first, and you'll let me know as soon as you have any news here. ”

Liu Yu returned the printing paper to Su Wei and was about to go out, Su Wei pointed to his body, Liu Yu smiled when he saw it, with a black vest and big pants, he quickly went to find a casual dress to change into.

The warehouse rented by the fat man is not far from the old city, it was originally the factory of a state-owned factory, which occupies a large area, and the rent is not cheap, but it is very convenient to transport goods or something. When Liu Yu walked into the warehouse, it had already occupied a large part of the space.

Many trebuchets were covered with white cloths, densely lined up in several columns, Liu Yu personally counted them, the number of which had accounted for two-thirds of the total order, and the rest would soon be delivered, and at that time, transportation would be a very annoying thing.

In addition to this, there are bags of vegetables piled up in the warehouse, these are the things he will bring back with him, and in a little while, there will be workers to load the truck. Liu Yu walked around roughly, then walked out of the door and smoked and chatted with the uncle who was watching the warehouse.

The first to call was the fat man, his ticket was booked at 9:20 p.m., the last flight of the day, Liu Yu looked at the time, then took a taxi back to the hotel, the company's four people went to the restaurant to eat a meal as a send-off for the fat man, after eating, the fat man declined the idea of three people to send him to the airport, and took a taxi by himself.

Yu Zhongming has been squatting in the machinery factory every day these days, but he seems to be fatter, and the young man is waiting for the good food and drink of the people in the factory all day, but he doesn't feel bored. Liu Yu smiled and joked to him, he must have fallen in love with someone else's factory flower, but Yu Zhongming didn't distinguish it, but his face turned slightly red.

Liu Yu and Su smiled and glanced at each other, no longer teasing him, the topic turned to how to deal with the besieging party's tunnel excavation to break through the city wall, I didn't expect Yu Zhongming to have some opinions on this, the method he proposed was to use the tunnel to tunnel, dig a circle of trenches around the city wall, and expose the attacker's tunnel mouth.

After a while, a text message came from Su Wei's mobile phone, she opened it and handed it to Liu Yu, Liu Yu took it, and it was the method sent by others, which was basically the same as what Yu Zhongming said, and she couldn't help laughing.
