Chapter 102: Defending the City
Bai Muye could only ask these engineers to tamp the soil as much as possible after digging the ditch, otherwise, the soil would be soft, and the oil would seep into the ground when it landed, and no amount of oil would be enough. The most important thing is that it will probably not burn!
But he found that no matter how he stepped on it or patted it, the soil on the ground still scattered as soon as he poked it, and it couldn't become very dense at all.
Nima –
What kind of soil is this?
What to do? Watering?
By the way, didn't you say that washing rice water can strengthen the city?
In which wild history did you read it? Forget it, don't fool around, if it doesn't work, it'll be completely cold!
Cement, linoleum cloth, even if there is plastic sheeting!
What to do?
Just as he was thinking about it, a shout suddenly came from above his head: "General Bai, I'm back!" ”
Bai Muye looked up and saw that it was the three seals, and Qiu Ning was still standing next to him, and he was looking at the direction of the enemy camp in the distance with a cold face and vigilance.
Bai Muye smiled, this kid is really dedicated, but it is precisely because Qiu Ning is such a person that he can rest assured that he will hand over his safety to him.
He took a few steps back, rushed through the wall and shouted, "Come down!" Take the brass bells you tied before! ”
Xie Sanfeng grinned: "Copper bells? It's all long legs and running! ”
Pick Lao Tzu's language problem?
Uncle's is not in shape compared to me!
Bai Muye also laughed, and then feigned anger and said, "Hurry down, what nonsense!" ”
Xie Sanfeng is now obedient to Bai Muye's arrangement, "hehe" smiled, grabbed Qiu Ning's shoulder, covered his mouth in his ear and whispered, and then ran down the city wall in a puff of smoke.
Qiu Ning couldn't help but laugh, pursed his lips with difficulty, and his handsome face was flushed.
"Qiu Ning! What are you muttering about unraveling the three seals? Bai Muye knew at a glance that he was talking nonsense again, and this must be related to himself, but it was a pity that he was talking with his mouth closed and couldn't read his lips.
Qiu Ning was so sad that he cast his eyes into the distance, pretending to monitor the enemy's situation, and directly ignored Bai Muye's question.
No way! It's the other way around!
"Qiu Ning, General Ben asked you something! You dare to disobey military orders! Bai Muye jumped to his feet and yelled at Qiu Ning, causing the engineers next to him to look sideways frequently.
Qiu Ning knew that he was joking, but still didn't speak and just laughed.
In fact, it's nothing, just now Xie Sanfeng said in his ear: "Qiu Xiaolang, do you look at General Bai, does he look like a mud monkey jumping around?" The flowery-faced kind! ”
Qiu Ning felt that General Bai's jump just now was more like!
"Squeak quack—"
A crack opened in the heavy gate, and a crowd of people streamed out of it.
Qiu Ning looked down at the city gate, and saw General Bai personally greeting him at the city gate, smiling.
As soon as he saw the three seals that were at the forefront, he slapped him directly on the back, seemingly welcoming him warmly, and then looked at the expression of the three seals, it was clear that he was about to spurt out a mouthful of old blood! How strong is this hand?
Qiu Ning smiled gloatingly on the wall, thinking that General Bai had a burst of righteousness and awe-inspiring from time to time, and occasionally seemed to have a temperament that would be retribution, and he couldn't say whether he was a true gentleman or a fake villain......
Xie Sanfeng grinned and rubbed his shoulders that were about to be smashed, and the appearance of the hippie smiling face had long since disappeared.
"What are you doing with the brass bell? General White! ”
Bai Muye didn't answer him, but raised his head and asked, "General Qiu!" Is there any movement in the enemy camp on the other side? ”
Qiu Ning was extremely cautious and patrolled back and forth between the enemy's camp and the city several times before he replied loudly: "General Huibai, there is no movement!" ”
"Okay, then you can keep an eye on it! We set traps outside the city, and wherever we go, you follow them, always on the lookout! ”
"Got it!"
Qiu Ning understood what he meant, but he didn't understand the three seals.
He looked at the string of copper bells in his hand in a daze, and there were still a few of them that had been rusted, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like he could kill someone.
He stammered and asked, "Bai, General Bai, what are we going to set up a trap with?" ”
Bai Muye pulled the copper bell string from his hand, and kneaded it neatly one foot at a time, making one crisp sound after another.
"Just use the copper bell spirits you raised, the artifact of guarding the city!"
"How do you use it?"
"Plant the copper bell outside the city, wait for the middle of the night, when the moon is in full bloom, the copper bell breaks through the ground, grows into a bewitching woman, floats across the river, charms the enemy, makes it addicted to beauty, throws away the armor, and our army wins without a fight!"
Bai Muye talked nonsense in a matter-of-fact manner, and he was dumbfounded when he unsealed the three letters.
"Huh?"
"Ahhhh Come and work! ”
……
Before dark, copper bell strings were placed on the grass by the moat outside the entire city of Zhaozhou. The strings of bells, large and small, are connected by thin silk threads, hanging among the dense weeds, and there is no trace of them unless you look carefully.
Xie Sanfeng stood in front of Guo Tong, Qiu Ning and other generals to explain to them, and his expression was inevitably a little excited.
I said, General Bai, are you an immortal sent by God to save the people of Zhaozhou?
This is a policy of defending the city one by one, Zhuge Kongming will not be like this in his second life!
Five steps and a bell, ten bells in a string, a whole circle of three or five layers, Yuzhou is protected by some small copper bells. No matter where the enemy is attacking, even the weakest point of defense, the soldiers on the city wall can follow the sound to spot the enemy's trace in the first place.
In order to ensure that these copper bells would not be discovered by the enemy soldiers who came to sneak attack, Bai Muye even arranged for some of the bronze mirrors outside the city to be recovered, and some more buckled on the ground, so that they could be placed when they were useful.
Of course, this is not enough, but if you find out, there are too few defenders to deal with, and at this time, it is time to change to other sharp weapons!
"There are three sharp weapons-" The general of the three seals announced to everyone that Bai Muye had said to himself in his spare time in the afternoon.
"One: General Bai has sent someone to build an improved repeater, once the enemy is found stealing the city, you can use the repeater to resist for a while!"
"Second: General Bai just ordered someone to dig half a circle of earth ditch, and tomorrow will continue to send engineers to dig until the siege of the city. If an enemy army approaches the city wall, immediately pour fire oil and throw torches, and then the earthen ditch will immediately become a fire ditch! ”
"Third: General Bai has asked the blacksmith to create a weapon for defending the city, which is used in close combat, similar to a mullion, made of pure iron, and the effect is ...... I'll see it when it's ready! ”
"General Bai said, there are ways to defend the city in the future, don't panic, hold steady!"
Xie Sanfeng finished speaking one by one, and his words were full of admiration and pride. Then, together with everyone, he invariably cast his eyes on Bai Muye, who was doing a cold compress, with different eyes!
After an afternoon of exposure to the sun, the skin and flesh of Bai Muye's upper body hurt hotly, especially his shoulder, which was already seriously sunburned, and he was peeling off the dead skin layer by layer, and his image was really not very good.
