What is it?

A few people looked at the almost circular shovel in the adult's bag, as well as a few iron drills.

"Your Excellency, you, don't you really want to break down this wall......

Ding Cili looked at these tools in surprise and asked in astonishment, are you really going to smash the city wall.

"That's right! That's it."

Looking up at the city bricks on the top of the Watergate Gate, Zhu Mingzhong calculated in his heart for a moment and pointed to one of the locations.

"You guys, smash these bricks! And here, this, this ......"

Zhu Mingzhong drew a few circles in several places in the door hole with a pen one after another, and then pointed at them and said.

"Wait a minute, the gun ......"

When the words came to his lips, Zhu Mingzhong remembered that now the gun is called a bird gun, maybe the Houjin battalion was raised by the stepmother, but there are also dozens of bird guns in the camp.

"When the bang sounds, get to work......"

After a while, dozens of meters behind them, the sound of guns rang out, and the bird-swordsmen, who were hiding behind the bamboo cages filled with land, shot at the city wall from time to time.

"Don't pretend to be in the next round, just make a sound......"

Wang Xiaocai shouted at the people around him while filling the bird with gunpowder.

For a while, there was a sound of gunfire, and as the kung fu firing on the city wall, Wang Xiaocai looked in the direction of the water gate, and could vaguely see more than a dozen people under the water gate, who seemed to be busy.

What are they doing?

Not to mention Wang Xiaocai, even Yu Xiaobao and Ding Cili, who were under the water gate, didn't know what they were doing, they were just smashing the city bricks with iron drills according to the instructions of the adults, and the sound of guns over there concealed their movements.

"My lord, the soil is exposed, the soil is exposed......

Finally, after the bricks of the city were smashed, a hole the size of a head appeared in the hole of the Water Gate, and I looked at the exposed loess. Zhu Mingzhong deliberately stepped forward, looking at the traces left by the iron drill on the inner wall of the loess, the corners of his lips rose slightly, just like he speculated!

The fracture of the rammed earth is not the kind of whitish fracture, and it is even possible to see some soil particles.

Rammed earth is loose!

In the past, Zhu Mingzhong had seen some information about the ancient city wall, the rammed earth inside the brick city wall was extremely solid, but there was only one exception - the water gate, in order to reduce the foundation subsidence in the river, the rammed earth inside the water gate often did not tamp to the extreme like the city wall and the city gate, so in the city wall, the water gate was often the biggest weakness of its ancient city wall.

But even so, it is unlikely that this section of the wall will be blasted open with ancient artillery. What's more, Zhu Mingzhong has no cannon in his hand, but this does not prevent him from using another method.

"My lord, what is this?"

Looking at the shovel that the adult brought from the side that was connected to the bamboo, Yu Xiaobao asked curiously.

"This is what we are going to do to break down the walls!"

Listening to the adult's words, Yu Xiaobao saw the adult stick the shovel into the hole, and then began to chisel up and down with his arms, and the soil in the city wall kept falling down the brick hole.

"My lord, this ......"

"What is this, hurry up and work, like me......"

Whispering a curse to Yu Xiaobao, Zhu Mingzhong gestured at an angle, and directed them to continue to chisel the city wall, and at the same time connect another ...... Luoyang shovel.

The tool he asked the blacksmith to make was the Luoyang shovel, which was invented by tomb robbers hundreds of years later and was first widely used for tomb robbing, and later became an archaeological tool.

And different from the normal Luoyang shovel to explore the tomb underground, here the Luoyang shovel has become a tool for digging holes on the rammed earth of the city wall, perhaps this suspended excavation is more wasteful, but it is far faster than using other tools, and the Luoyang shovel itself is specially used to dig and chisel such as the rammed earth of the power of the triple soil. However, because the angle of the excavation is not easy to use force, Zhu Mingzhong chose the location of the water gate, because the rammed earth here is the softest.

A person is tired, and then another person, the resting person is hungry to eat a large piece of braised beef, thirsty to drink river water, slowly, a caving inclined towards the wall appeared in front of their eyes, the caving is getting deeper and deeper, bigger and bigger, when twilight falls, two inclined upwards, full of depth of several meters wide can accommodate one person to explore the cave, just appear on the left and right of the water gate, respectively in the left and right directions, inclined upward extension of several meters.

"My lord, what should I do next?"

After the formation of two two-person deep and one-wide caverns, Yu Xiaobao, Ding Cili and others all looked at the adults, and they vaguely guessed what they were going to do next, but they still couldn't help asking.

"What to do? ...... of course."

Zhu Mingzhong said with a sneer.

"Bury the gunpowder and fuck it!"

Of course, gunpowder is not buried, but one by one...... Loaded!

The bamboo is tied tightly with rope on the outside, and the bamboo is filled with tamped gunpowder. Each bamboo that is more than three meters long weighs more than 100 catties, and each tube is stuffed with fifteen or sixteen staggered bamboos of staggered thickness. A thousand pounds of gunpowder were stuffed into the city walls.

Finally, when the two holes were re-tamped, looking at the bamboo tube that came out of the hole, and looking at the lead in the bamboo tube, Zhu Mingzhong's whole person looked a little drifting.

Damn, who said that you must dig tunnels to attack the city, you must dig tunnels underground.

"My lord, is this, will this work?"

Seeing that the hole that the big guy had taken six hours to get was stuffed with gunpowder, Ding Cili endured the soreness in his arm and asked a little nervously.

After being a soldier for so many years, he is no stranger to the collapse siege of the city, and he has never heard that the collapse is to dig a tunnel, but he has never seen such a thing - directly digging a hole in the city wall.

"Failed?"

Looking at Ding Cili's skeptical gaze, Zhu Mingzhong said with benefit.

"Whether it's inside the city wall or outside the city wall, as long as you can blow the city wall down!"

After saying this, Zhu Mingzhong looked at the dozen or so people in front of him, if he was talking about confidants, I am afraid that more than a dozen of them should be regarded as his henchmen in this era, after all, they took the risk of digging holes here with themselves, and things went far more smoothly than he imagined, originally, he even thought about various possibilities, what to pour oil, what gold juice, and the result was ...... Nothing, and the people of the city barely reacted under the interference of the gunfire.

Seeing that the adult's eyes swept over the big guy's body, without waiting for him to speak, Yu Xiaobao's mouth was grinning and said with a smile.

"Adult, the little one is with you, let the little one light this fire!"

"Adult, let's let the little ones come!"

Ding Cili, Sun Xinglu and others asked for a mission, this errand looks risky, but a six-foot-long gunpowder twist, lit to burn a bag of cigarettes, there is no risk at all.

After everyone left, Yu Xiaobao, who was sitting under the Watergate Cave, looked at the stars in the sky, but the smile on his face became more and more strange.

"When Jiangyin City is defeated, when the time comes, Lao Tzu will make a miraculous achievement!"
