At this time, there were only two people left besieging Duan Mingyu, and they saw that the situation was not good. The two of them roared, one to the east and the other to the west, and hurriedly rushed into the alley, their bodies faster than chasing the wind.

Duan Mingyu raised his leg and kicked, and the shovel head flew up and chased after the assassin who had fled to the alley on the left with a terrible whistling sound. The assassin heard movement behind him, and he didn't want to swing his sword, so he didn't want to block what was flying behind him. The result was neither an arrow nor a spear, but a whirling shovel. The shovel head, as sharp as an axe, turned into a phantom, whistling and spinning, which could be stopped by a sword. I only heard the "click" of the sword breaking. With a "poof", the human head flew up, and the headless corpse ran more than two feet away. With a thud, he slipped to the ground and jumped seven or eight meters away against the snow.

Wang Aiqing led someone to chase after the man in the alley on the right, Duan Mingyu returned the sword into the sheath and said lightly: "The assassin has excellent light body skills, there is no need to chase it, the whole city is on guard to track down the murderer." ”

When Duan Mingyu was assassinated, Yin, the first barrier of Jianghuai, Shouchun City had begun to strengthen the city wall, widen the moats, build various fortifications, surrendered Yang Xingmi's more than 10,000 Caizhou soldiers and the strong men drawn from every household in Shouchun City were busy day and night, the walls of the four cities of Shouchun City were full of guards, and the army of General Xu Wen's descendants divided their troops to defend against the enemy with a hundred steps.

Repair the enemy's building, hang the altar, install the artillery mount, set up the crossbow bed, transport bricks and stones, hang the wood, prepare the oil, and all the defensive equipment is complete. Shouchun City has been operating for many years under the operation of various festivals, and a large number of weapons have been stored, and Xu Wen opened the armory as soon as he took over Shouchun City, and now they are all removed from the closed arsenal and placed on the wall. There are as many as 220 crossbows in the city alone, as far as 700 steps, the arrows are like spears, which can penetrate the human body, and if ordinary arrows are cast, they can shoot dozens of arrows in a salvo, and the lethality is very terrifying.

Xu Wen never thought that Shouchun City would have such a solid family background, and remembered that when he started in Luzhou, he was shabby with less than 20 crossbows in only a few counties, which was really emotional. He took his two sons to inspect the city, a large number of craftsmen came with him, the city wall, the city gate, the urn city, the horse face, the bell tower, the drum tower, the watchtower, the crossbow platform, the enemy tower, Xu Wen pointed out a place, there was a craftsman leader respectfully stepped forward to ask the details, and immediately began to repair.

The Yaksha Rings were being placed on the head of the city, and the installed Yaksha Rings were thrown out of the city, and then they were retracted with a wire winch for the final test. Under the city, a ditch was dug in the same direction as the city wall, and a large urn was placed every 100 steps, half buried in the ground upside down, to listen to the movement underground, in case the army outside the city dug into the ground.

Outside the city, an urn city is being built with black earth and stones. The craftsmen who widened the moat, built the sheep and horse city and the strong men of Shouchun City kept coming and going, but the person responsible for building this urn city was a Caizhou army that was transferred back to be responsible for the project, which originally belonged to Sun Ru, and now Sun Ru was defeated, surrendered to Yangzhou, and was pulled to the front line to do coolies.

The Caizhou army was originally a powerful old soldier, and they were not descendants to fight in battle, but this kind of work of carrying the soil and carrying the hammer and building the city wall has always been their supervisors, urging the people to work, and now it is good, Xu Wen came, they became the auxiliary soldiers of the Yangzhou soldiers, due to the huge amount of work, the people were not enough, they were also forced to do this vulgar and lowly work, the soldiers complained, and they were lazy and could not lift their spirits.

Because the weather is hot and I don't wear much, I have no work experience, and there is no thick cloth on my shoulders, and the shoulders of several Caizhou Diao soldiers who carry the stone are red and swollen, and the pain is unbearable. The Yangzhou soldiers, who were carrying horse whips and shouting to supervise the work in five and six places, were furious. Rushing over without a head or a brain is a whip: "Muddy tent things." You can't fight, you can't work, what's the use of you waste? ”

The Caizhou soldier who was beaten was on fire, roared and rushed forward, shouting: "Lao Tzu is a man from the Caizhou general's personal account, archery and horse archery, which one is inferior to you, come on, let's compete between the two of us to see who is the waste." ”

The Yangzhou soldiers did not guard against him daring to resist, and the feet were soft and the soil was soft, and as soon as he hit him, he fell to the ground on his back, which caused the Caizhou soldiers who were working to laugh in mockery, and the beaten Caizhou soldiers scolded contemptuously: "You son of a bitch, if you hadn't made the treacherous tricks drag down our army, my family was killed, and now you are still being chased by the breathless mourning dogs, and you dare to show off your power with Lao Tzu." ”

"Bang!" A big foot kicked on his lower back, and Cai Zhoubing fell into a pit in front of him with his head, mud falling and a layer on his body. The Cai Zhou soldiers were furious, got up and scolded: "Which bastard hurts people behind his back? ”

A Yangzhou Metropolitan Supervisor stood on it, with a calm face, and shouted: "The marshal is strictly ordered, and he works day and night." Build all kinds of fortifications as quickly as possible. Who dares to disobey, and you dare to make trouble? ”

Seeing that Caizhou was a capital eunuch, his anger was slightly restrained, and he defended: "I am paid to be a soldier to go into battle, who can do such a job?" I carried hundreds of stones in a morning, and I didn't let people rest, but my iron body could stand it? ”

The eunuch sneered: "To go into battle is to bleed to death, and if your shoulders are swollen, you can't stand it." Still want to go to war? You have a young lady's body, but unfortunately it is Yahuan's life, work honestly, if you dare to complain about the heart of our army, Lao Tzu will bury you alive under this urn city. ”

The man was about to say more, and a bearded Cai Zhoubing shouted: "Can't control your stinky mouth?" Climb out and get to work. ”

Yangzhou Bingdu Supervisor looked at the bearded man, and said with a smile: "Commander Li is an understanding person, you should know that these things have been repaired, my Shouchun City was difficult to move just now, everyone will work less, take care of your people, don't make trouble again, otherwise you Commander Li's face will not be given by the Metropolitan Prison." ”

The bearded man heyed, turned around and walked away, the Caizhou soldier in the pit didn't dare to say any more, obediently crawled out of the pit, and followed the bearded man, not far away. He said indignantly: "My lord, that Yangzhou soldier is just a small capital prisoner. I also dare to show my majesty in front of you, the commander of the soldiers and horses, this tone ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the bearded man had already turned around, rounded him with a big mouth, slapped him with a stumble, and scolded viciously: "Get out! Give me an honest way to build a military service. ”
