Chapter 344: The Former Bricklayer

On this day and night, the Rong army, who originally thought that the Rong army would never use the soil slope to fight in the city again, suddenly found that those Rong troops seemed to have no idea about the wooden plank, and resumed the move of transporting earth and building the slope after the sky was dark. It's just that tonight they seem to have sent only a handful of soldiers to do such a thankless task. Moreover, the dirt slope no longer seemed to be used for charging, and the soldiers hurriedly ran backwards as soon as they threw the soil in their bosoms far upwards, and no longer had to run under the city wall to throw the earth as before. As a result, those dirt slopes gradually turned into earthen platforms, which made Lu Lihua think that the Rong army was trying to learn from what he did outside Jilin City, and wanted to build earthen platforms to shoot at his soldiers at the head of the city, and at the same time he could also observe the movements in his own city. In this night, although the soldiers of the Rong army who came to throw the earth were still quite close to the head of the city, when the earthen platforms gradually formed, the soldiers at the head of the city could no longer kill and wound the Rong soldiers behind the earthen platforms. But those Rong troops seemed to know that the Qin army did not dare to go out of the city to fight, and they actually set up a camp of 20,000 horses not far behind the moat.

And the outermost part of the camp reached the edge of the earthen platforms. This made the Qin army at the head of the city look shocked and angry, but there was no way to deal with those Rong people. Zhu Lihua once wanted to use a bow and arrow and a giant crossbow to shoot at the enemy camp close at hand, but after many attempts, he found that the area of the Rong army's camp was too large, and the fire oil could not burn too much area.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Rong army in the battalion could easily dodge the arrows with shields during the day, and at night they all retreated to the range of bows and arrows or hid behind the earthen platform. Therefore, compared with the consumption of bows and arrows, the effect that the Qin army's arrow attack can achieve is not worth mentioning at all, and seeing such a situation, Zhu Lihua, who is helpless, can only do it. After that, Lihua sent soldiers out of the city to open the city gate and rush to the enemy camp not far from the city, but Lin Xu arranged 5,000 people to take turns guarding day and night outside the city gate to prevent the Qin soldiers from leaving the city. Therefore, once the Qin soldiers left the city, they would immediately encounter a dense rain of arrows from the Rong army. In this way, the Qin army was completely blocked within the city wall. In the following ten days, in addition to being able to see the earthen platforms outside the city getting higher and higher every day, Zhu Lihua actually felt a little helpless about Lin Xu's strange strategy. This helplessness lies in the fact that Lihua can't imagine what kind of medicine Lin Xu bought in the gourd. But at the same time, he didn't think that Lin Xu built these high platforms just to shoot at the head of the city. Seeing that the high platform outside the city was getting higher and higher, and the Rong army seemed to have really given up the half of the dirt slope closest to the city wall and built the high platform with peace of mind, Zhu Lihua's brows were furrowed more and more tightly. "The order went down, and continued to add planks on the opposite side of the high platform. I'm going to see if they can build the platform faster or if we can build the planks faster. "After the order was issued, the inside and outside of this Huangyin City instantly became a huge construction site. As if to recast a new city, tens of thousands of people on both sides of the city wall on the west side of Huangyin began endless elevation projects. Outside the city, the more than ten earthen platforms are getting higher and higher, and at the head of the city, the planks with countless logs on their backs are also built as if they are soaring into the sky. Fortunately, the speed of building a high platform is far less than the speed of building wooden planks, so Zhu Lihua, who observes the movements of the Rong army at the head of Huangyin City every day, does not have to worry that the wooden wall will be blown away by strong winds if it is built too high. "Are they going to keep up with us?" Gao Yunce, who had long since recovered from his injuries in the battle half a month ago, looked at the more than ten high platforms outside the city and said with a smile. After his words fell, the rest of the generals also burst into laughter.

In their hearts, they had long felt that this Lin Xu was really a talent, and they knew that the speed of building the planks at the head of the city was much faster than the speed of stacking the earth platform, but they still had to do a steady stream of futile things. "Now it's up to them when their platform will collapse?" While everyone was laughing, Xing Tong'er interjected coldly. This made everyone, including Lu Lihua, look at Xing Tong'er, who was full of sneers. Na Xin Tong'er saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him, especially Zhu Lihua also looked back at him, as if he was waiting for his explanation, and he couldn't help but be a little startled when he was honest in nature. Xin Tong'er was originally just an inconspicuous small role when he first took refuge in Lihua, but he was only taken in by Lihua by virtue of his contribution to leading his troops to resist the senior year when he planned to capture Quwo City. But in the following years, Xin Tong'er showed his talent when leading troops to fight, which made Lu Lihua look at him, and promoted him step by step to be on an equal footing with Niu Yong and Huang Yunhe. It can be said that although Xin Tong'er is from the Hexi rebel system, he is actually different from Huang Yunhe and Niu Yong. In a sense, Xin Tong'er can be regarded as a henchman of Zhu Lihua. And the people who can make Lihua see in their eyes have their own unusualness, the reason why Xin Tong'er can be recognized by Lihua is because when he led the army to fight, he was very similar to a general who had a reason with Lihua and had a deep relationship with Lihua, Xie Yun. From this point of view, you can know the courage of this Xin Tong'er. Xin Tong'er usually doesn't like to talk much, and he never talks when he fights, but at this moment, when he saw everyone's eyes looking at him, he couldn't help but blush. After a while, when he saw Zhu Lihua smiling and nodding at him, he said timidly: "When I was in Hexi, I used to work as a bricklayer, and I often built houses for people. Therefore, all of us in this industry know that there is a saying, that is, the foundation is unstable and the mountains are shaken. You see that the earthen platform rises and is built so high, and the foundation is mixed with corpses and scattered stones, so once the temperature is a little higher, the ice water in the earthen platform melts, and it is very easy to collapse.

And they don't seem to know that this is just a matter of raising the platform, which makes me feel a little ridiculous, so they are sarcastic.

It made the generals laugh. And ......." "Hahahaha" Xin Tong'er didn't finish speaking, when he heard a crowd of people around him laughing, among these laughter, a man with a rough voice walked up to him, patted him with a red face and said: "You are not authentic, you are obviously a murderous ghost who does not blink, but you pretend to be a girl on weekdays." Maybe one day some unlucky ghost thinks you are a bully, but you are unprepared and breaks your legs and feet, and breaks your teeth. Aren't you disgusting? An Moran said with a smile, while grabbing Xin Tong'er's shirt and hugging it hard. It seems that Naxin Tong'er is like an innocent child, which makes An Moran hate and love. "That's right, General Xin, you can't do this anymore. But I really didn't expect that your appearance of fine skin and tender meat was actually a bricklayer before, and I thought you were the prime minister in which kiln? But the bricklayer is good, the bricklayer is a craftsman, and the life of the bricklayer is much better than that of us tenants. Li Ji and others on the side also echoed and made fun of him. Seeing that everyone was playing with Xin Tong'er, but Xin Tong'er just lowered his head and smiled stupidly, Zhu Lihua also unloaded too much heaviness in his heart between smiles, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. After everyone made fun of Xin Tong'er, he said to Xin Tong'er: "You haven't finished your words yet, so let's talk about it again." I'd like to hear what a bricklayer has to say about the nasty structure outside the city. And if so, how do you build it? After Lihua finished asking, everyone saw that the coach also made fun of Xin Tong'er, and they couldn't help but listen carefully to Xin Tong'er about the way of architecture. And Xin Tong'er knew that Lihua was just asking casually, but he still didn't dare to slack off, so he really explained the key points of how to build a high-rise building to everyone in detail. This made the generals suddenly look strange after listening for a long time, and even An Moran and several people yawned one after another. "The left is greater, the generals, in short, whether it is to build a high pavilion or build a building, we must pay attention to the word foundation. It's like the earthen platform outside the city, if you want them to be strong, you have to dig deep into the foundation, or at least tamp the soil on the ground before you can build it. And who would have dared to climb a high platform like them, if it had not been in wartime. In fact, even in wartime, I don't think there are many people who dare to climb on the Kunpeng Army. After all, they are also ordinary people, and there are not many people who know how to build houses. They weren't willing to risk their lives on this inferior structure. And that's not the most important thing, for when I looked at their platforms these days, I found that the amount of earth they had brought from the rear was far from what was needed to build such a high platform. They must have thought that the soil was difficult to dig, so they built a hollow structure. Therefore, such a platform with an unstable foundation and a hollow upper layer is not to mention fighting, even if it is erected here and stays until the ice and snow melt, it will be the end of its life. Therefore, Xin felt that there was no need for us to raise the planks at the head of the city, in fact, we were just waiting for their earthen platform to collapse. Xin Tong'er, who was the head of the way, looked at everyone as he spoke, but when he found that all the generals looked drowsy, and Zhu Lihua also lowered his head and looked gloomy, the excitement in his heart was quickly extinguished. His voice grew quieter and quieter, his face turned redder and redder, and at the end he was embarrassed again, and then after summing up the last sentence, he lowered his head and stopped talking. The city suddenly fell into a tranquility that made Xin Tong'er extremely embarrassed, but it was only a moment before he heard Lihua shout "not good".
