And in the south of Youzhou City,

Under the cover of the rumbling cannons, relying on the central axis from south to north, from Fengyi Gate through Guangyangfang, diagonally through the city on the tributary of the Gaoliang River, the men and horses from the Huai Army engineering troops are also busy and nervous between various scaffolding and traction equipment.

Ruan Qi, known as the "Water Slippery Fish", emerged from the rippling water, and took a few big breaths greedily, which was considered to have changed his strength; After all, these waterways connecting the inner and outer cities are a bit too long, and because they have been cleaned over the years, there are many turns, twists and turns, and silt blockages, plus the iron fences, hooks and hidden thorns that have been preset for generations to prevent infiltration;

So even if he had the water and family heirloom fish bladder that he had practiced in Yodo since he was a child, even he almost couldn't get out, and the oily and shiny fish skin jacket on his body was also hooked and tattered, and wisps of blood oozed out.

But this time, he finally gained something and discovered something, although he couldn't find out the water source and leylines in the city, but he could also report it to the attacking army to play some use. In this way, he can also be recorded in the routine merit book, whether it is to reduce the inspection time for the transfer to regular service, or to exchange it for the number of fields to be distributed by the meritorious army in the future, which is a great benefit.

After all, this time, with the help of the two brothers who also went north from the expedition, they specially asked for the relationship between Song Gongming, a fellow villager in Yunzhou, who was already a thief arrester and deputy governor of the state, and the other two deputy generals of the garrison, Lu Junyi and Chao Gai, were the guarantors and sponsors respectively, and arranged him into the sequence of the engineering troops of the Northern Expedition.

I thought it was just a matter of grabbing the buoy and jumping into the river, measuring the depth and length of the water up and down, and the dull and boring work; But unexpectedly, one day, he and the other people who were selected traveled hundreds of miles together and came to the broken Youzhou City to carry out another puzzling diving and exploration operation. But no matter how unclear he was, it seemed like a very important thing to do.

Therefore, he must cherish this opportunity to stay in front of the army, and urgently need to perform and achieve results in order to keep this good future; Instead of continuing to stay in the local fishing team of Onozawa, continue to mingle with those old and weak women and children and be covered with the smell of fish.

Then, Nguyen Qi, who had just been cleaned and bandaged, was called over again, and a military general with only seven fingers and covered in smoke and fire asked him in person if he could take on another more dangerous and important mission. But it was because he had already met and salvaged the body of a companion who was unfortunately killed underwater before this, so it was in the eyes of those generals who were working on the river.

Ruan Qi, who was determined to make contributions instead of just being called "the younger brother of Ruan's second general" and "the little Ruan of the Wulang family", naturally accepted it without hesitation; Then he carried two oversized-looking pouches on his back, and slowly sank into the water, somewhat clumsily and slowly, and disappeared again, leaving only the remnants of splashes and surges.

A moment later, the strings of objects hanging on the surface of the river were moved, and one by one the hooks were loosened and sank into the water.

Suddenly, a large area of churning sludge suddenly appeared on the surface of the Cao River near the end of the inner city, and there were also rippling currents and splashes in an instant, slapping heavily on the shore of moss marks and aquatic plants, but they still failed to attract much attention. Then a few large areas of water splashes and bubbles came out of the water with the dirty mud, and the originally clear river became mostly muddy.

And at this moment, a team that was patrolling in the nearby city wall also seemed to have noticed that it stopped, and the colonel who started at the beginning couldn't help but climb a few steps higher and poke his head out to look at the gap in the battlement, but only saw the scaffolding that was still standing on the river and seemed to be salvaging something, just showed a little puzzled expression, and saw a few pops splashing on the side of his head, and in an instant he was so startled that he even rolled and shrank his head back and sat down on the ground sweating, his face was pale and he couldn't speak.

"Gun. . . Blunderbuss... Be careful."

However, this life-and-death accident and small episode also interrupted his previous feeling of a certain abnormal movement and sudden movement under his feet, and made them busy returning to the safer patrol of the inner wall.

And at this moment, Ruan Xiaoqi's feeling was also very bad, after going into the water again and placing the things explained by the above, his instincts and reactions had gradually become sluggish and slow with the continuous consumption of physical strength and calories, and the time for several degrees of ventilation was getting shorter and shorter; So much so that this time he didn't have time to swim out of the dark river and the road, he was forcefully overturned by a huge momentum from the rear;

In an instant, he took a fork in his breath and poured a few large mouthfuls of water, not to mention his stomach, and he was so shocked that his whole body was out of strength and could no longer float. Just when he was already a little desperate and gave up, another force finally pulled him away, and he thought about the bright and shining water again, and was once again exposed to the fresh air.

It's just that his ears are already buzzing like an invisible cover out of thin air, and he can only see the earnest faces around him who have supported and picked him up, but no matter how their mouths open and close, how their hands dance,

Ruan Qi just couldn't hear the slightest movement; Am I deaf, this is the only consciousness and thought left of him at this moment, who is paralyzed and weak.

Then, he was helped to turn around, and saw with his own eyes the great changes taking place in the wall of the river on the opposite side, and the cheers and cheers of the surrounding soldiers. The inner city wall, which once seemed to be tall and strong, had a very obvious crack from the bottom to the top of the river;

Then, in the dense splash of water that continued to crumble and fall, this zigzag crack was like a large tree that was rapidly growing and climbing upward, and in a few breaths it had already climbed to the top, and the entire flat inner wall was torn apart and torn into two halves of high and low size.

Is this the consequence of everything I have personally participated in At this moment, Ruan Qi was a little surprised and dazed and fell into some complicated mood.

And along the river bank that passed through the city, countless soldiers who had moved up were also under some clear guidance, and their morale rushed straight to the collapsed and cracked city wall, and the scaffolding and hanging tower rope hooks arranged along the river were dismantled and put into their auxiliary tools for rushing up the city wall.

With the news that the inner city has been successfully broken, I, who is stationed at the highest place in the Min Zhong Ancestral Hall, as the Chinese army, am also watching the guards on duty to represent the defender flags on the inner city of Youzhou, removing and replacing them one by one, and finally leaning on a lonely tooth city on the north side.

After all, although the inner city of Youzhou itself is surrounded by rivers and canals, there are many underground water veins that are not suitable for burrowing, but the corresponding operations in the underground waterways are not restricted here. The equipment used this time is mainly from the exclusive equipment of the Navy Corps and the Beiyang Naval Division and the newly developed experimental weapons, mainly for the Southern Dynasty to produce large warships as the goal of heavy special attack weapons, but did not expect to come in handy here first.

As for the familiar name that was reported incidentally, it was just a small episode that made people laugh.

At this time, an urgent report of the enemy's whereabouts in the west outside Youzhou City was also sent to my case again.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"Finally caught up, Youzhou City is ahead."

"Erlang, work hard...

In the billowing smoke and dust in the sky, a military general who took the lead and could not hide the dust and fatigue was also cheering loudly behind him with a hoarse voice

"As long as you can beat those thieves, let you indulge in each other's wanton for three days and three nights."

"Now most of the thieves are fighting in the city, and there are only scattered troops outside the city, about thousands."

"Let's just let the flesh and blood of this generation have the right to polish and lubricate my athletes' knives and guns."
