Chapter 20

The tunnel is out of play!

When he walked out of the house, Zhu Mingzhong's heart was like being poured with cold water, pulling out the cold.

"How do you dig a tunnel?"

To be precise, how to dig tunnels in such an environment.

Originally, he only had to think about digging through the moat and then digging the tunnel under the city walls. Moreover, during the digging of the tunnel, it will not be discovered by the enemy, and of course, more importantly, it will not be crushed by the water of the moat that does not overhead the tunnel.

Relying on the knowledge he has mastered, all this can be overcome, I have never eaten pork and I have always seen pigs walking, how the coal mine is dug, isn't it still supported by beams. But now the natural environment has completely dispelled this idea. Because there is a lot of rain in spring and summer, when the groundwater level is high, you can see the groundwater when you dig three feet into the ground, and it is even more impossible to dig a tunnel deeper than the moat under this situation.

Unless there are a few pumps!

Otherwise, I'm afraid I really can't dig a tunnel.

If there is no authentic help, can Jiangyin be defeated?

No way!

Staring at the Jiangyin city wall, three words came out of Zhu Mingzhong's heart. Relying on such a few people, if you want to conquer Jiangyin City, it is a dream at all.

Because he has only ridden a horse a few times in the horse farm, so when riding on the horse, Zhu Mingzhong has been controlling the speed of the horse, he along the periphery of Jiangyin City, observing the Jiangyin city wall, in the morning light, you can already clearly see that the mottled Jiangyin city wall, many places on the city wall are moss, and more places can form a sharp contrast between the old and new city bricks, those places built with the new city wall, may be more than ten years ago when Yan Yingyuan defended the city, the traces left by the artillery bombardment of the Qing army.

More than ten years ago, after the Jiangyin uprising, the Qing army shelled more than 200 cannons day and night, but never took the city, now, how to lay down the city.

The cowhide has been blown out, and the hearts of the people have been stirred!

But how to attack the city?

Tunnel blasting is out of the question, so what now?

"Think about it, think about it......"

Zhu Mingzhong recalled in his mind what he had seen...... Web novels.

It seems that only online novels have a way to siege the city, but it seems that they are all "a coffin of gunpowder to blow up his mother".

"Your sister, it's all a fucking lie!"

Thinking about the novel, those protagonists dug up the tunnels casually, and Zhu Mingzhong cursed those predecessors who crossed again, they didn't talk about the moat and groundwater at all, it seems that no matter where they are, as long as the tunnel is dug casually, it can be dug up.

"Dog's day, what the hell ......"

Suddenly stopped the pony riding under his crotch, Zhu Mingzhong, who was originally annoyed by "novel deception", stared at the city wall with his eyes, and his eyes burst into a strange brilliance.

"Yes, yes, yes, you can, you can ...... like this"

His breath became agitated as he looked at the wall, and he even gestured to a certain position of his opponent on the wall.

"Yes, it can be so, yes......"

Li Ziyuan didn't know what he was gesturing with, but looking at his appearance, he could be sure that this person didn't know what crooked ideas he had come up with.

He compared to the city wall for a long time, and even Zhu Mingzhong was still holding a tree stick and drawing on the ground, as if he was calculating there, if it weren't for Li Ziyuan pulling him, it was estimated that he would be able to run to the root of the city wall, and then measure it carefully.

"Linchuan, do we have a blacksmith in our camp?"

Suddenly, Zhu Mingzhong looked back at Li Ziyuan and asked.

"Blacksmith?"

"yes, I'm going to ask him to give me something!"

In ancient times, there were blacksmiths in any military camp, after all, there were weapons, armor and other weapons that needed to be repaired, although as a blacksmith in the camp, Wang Xianli used to be just a hoe or something farm tools, but after being captured into the camp, as a blacksmith, he also learned how to make and repair weapons.

He had fought all kinds of weapons over the years, but it was the first time he had seen something like this, and after looking at it for a while, he asked tentatively.

"My lord, is this a shovel?"

But it doesn't seem like it, the shovel isn't so round, what is it?

"What's that?"

Smiling mysteriously, Zhu Mingzhong looked at the blacksmith and smiled.

"Don't ask what it is, this thing is related to whether we can take down this Jiangyin City, how about it."

Looking at the "drawing" he made, Zhu Mingzhong deliberately emphasized again.

"The knife edge of this thing must be good, it must be hit with the best steel, and the knife edge must be no worse than the knife, you know? Lao Wang, how is it, how long will it take to play? ”

"Well, ...... at most"

Swallowing his saliva, Wang Xianli took a closer look at it again.

"Two or three hours at most."

"Cheng, three hours, as long as you can make this thing, you will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver at that time!"

Without hesitation, he gave a heavy reward, Zhu Mingzhong's expression looked a little proud, as long as he could punch this thing out, he would be able to go to Jiangyin City tomorrow to greet the country's surname.

"My lord, this, this thing can attack the city?"

Leaving the blacksmith furnace, Li Ziyuan asked curiously.

"It depends on how you use it, in the eyes of others, he is a waste, prepare 20 big bamboos, and call the brothers, today, I will invite the brothers to dinner."

The wooden tables that I got from somewhere were placed in the camp, and on the tables, there were pots of braised pork and roast chicken. Just last night, after that mobilization, Zhu Mingzhong asked people to "procure" meat, and the fat pigs purchased from somewhere have all become braised meat, and the fat chickens have become roast chickens, and there are even braised beef, but the braised beef will not be sent to them until the time of the war.

Looking at the food in front of them, the soldiers who hadn't smelled meat for a long time, no one spoke, they just looked at the fragrant meat on the table swallowing saliva, and when the smell of meat wafted from the camp, they knew what kind of meal this meal was.

It's a guillotine meal!

However, this is the first time they have touched such a hearty severed head meal, and in the past, at most, it was two more pieces of meat in the bowl.

Standing in front of everyone, Zhu Mingzhong looked at these silent soldiers with a bowl of wine, they still needed to mobilize again.

"Brethren!"

Zhu Mingzhong, who was holding the wine, looked at them and said loudly.

"This meal, everyone knows what it's for, that's right, this is his mother's severed head meal! The brothers ate this meal to kill with the brothers, to die together! ”

This is the first time someone has said such a direct thing, although he knows that this is a severed head, but no one is as straightforward as he is.

After these words, everyone was silent, although last night, they were not willing to accept fate, but now, in the face of this fragrant meat, they seemed a little hesitant.

It seems that the meat is not so fragrant anymore.

Staring at the meat in the basin, he grabbed a piece of meat directly, Yu Xiaobao unceremoniously stuffed the meat into his mouth, and looked at the appearance, like a starving ghost reincarnated, his appearance looked a little different among these people.

"I haven't tasted meat for half a month!"

After eating the fist-sized piece of meat, Yu Xiaobao looked at the desolate brothers around him and shouted.

"Why don't you eat, you don't have to fight? Since you have eaten this severed grain, this day is a matter of time and time! ”

This will make the meat in this pot look like a prisoner, and Yu Xiaobao eats it heavily.

", isn't it just a siege, what's the big deal, you don't want to think about it, even if you don't eat this meat, you can run away, military law is ruthless, eat meat, kill Tartars......"

"Eat! Eat meat and kill all those turtle grandchildren......"

Another man shouted, eating meat as he cried. His movements led the people around him, and everyone seemed to be grabbing, reaching out to grab the meat in the basin, eating it in a big gulp, and roaring as he ate......

"Eat meat, kill tartars!"
