Chapter 236: A Peculiar Sight

When Li Jing arrived, he saw this scene, the familiar firelight, which suddenly raised his heart to his throat.

The tragic scene of yesterday is still vivid, is it going to be repeated today?

It wasn't until he saw the Xuanjia Army soldier kick the torch and retreat safely from the city wall that his heart fell to fruition.

The warriors who had feigned siege had returned.

Wang Yu glanced around them, and when he saw that no one was injured, he was immediately reassured, "Quick, throw firewood, remember the location I told you."

"It doesn't need to be too wide, but the firepower must be fierce."

Yang Mao tore off the linen cloth, revealing a mountain of firewood, grabbed a bundle and threw it towards the city wall.

Chai He landed exactly where Wang Yu said, next to the wall.

The flames scurried onto the dry wood and turned into a raging fire in an instant.

After Yang Mao threw it, Wang Kangda, Hao Shou and others threw Chai He over one after another, and the fire became more and more fierce.

Qu Tutong and Yao Junsu hurried to the city wall, and when they saw this scene, they were like two monks, puzzled.

"What are they trying to do?"

A young general hesitated: "Don't you want to burn down the city wall?" ”

"Huh!"

Hearing this, Yao Junsu scoffed: "You should be an ordinary wall?" This is a city wall, which is invulnerable to fire and water. ”

The young general touched his nose awkwardly and said with a sneer: "It's me who wants to fork." ”

Li Jing under the city also had the same question: "Xiao Yu'er, what are you burning the city wall for?" The city walls are invulnerable, and if you burn them, they won't collapse. ”

Wang Yu spread his hands: "I said I was going to burn it, do you believe it?" ”

Without waiting for Li Jing to answer, she said again: "Look, you don't believe it. ”

Li Jing: "......."

The eldest grandson Shunde also rushed over, and when he heard Wang Yu's words, he regretted that he didn't stop Li Jing from dialing the Xuanjia Army to her yesterday.

"Xiao Yu'er, you are too small, you don't know what the city wall is made of......"

Wang Yu didn't wait for him to finish, and interrupted him: "Generally, the main body of the city wall is rammed earth, and rammed earth is most afraid of water erosion, so it will be covered with bricks or stones outside the rammed earth, so as to resist the erosion of rain."

"If the outside is built with masonry, it will not be invaded by fire and water.

"But if it's a stone outside, that's not necessarily the case."

The eldest grandson, Shunde, didn't expect her to be so clear about the structure of the city wall, and for a while, the words that wanted to reprimand her were blocked in his throat.

Li Jing heard an important message, "Xiao Yu'er, you said that the outside is built with stones, what do you mean?" ”

"The deputy marshal will know if you look at it." Wang Yu smiled and raised his chin.

At this time, Daquan ran over, "Xiao Yu'er, the fish is ready." ”

"Fish?" Li Jing was confused: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Grilled fish, it's time for breakfast." Wang Yu flicked his sleeves and left.

Li Jing: "......."

Eldest grandson Shunde: "...... Deputy Marshal, don't you think you've handled this matter too childishly? ”

At this moment, Li Jing really felt that it was childish to allocate people to Wang Yu, but the words had already been spoken, and the soldiers had also been allocated, so he could only wait and see what happened.

"Deputy Marshal, General Changsun, do you grill fish?"

Wang Yu waved at them with a smile, and his casual and happy appearance seemed to be by the wild river, not under the walls of the enemy army.

"I'm not going." The eldest grandson, Shunde, brushed his sleeves away.

Li Jing was not worried about the situation here, and walked towards Wang Yu.

Wang Yu handed over the branch of the forked fish: "I can't grill the fish, if the deputy marshal wants to eat it, it's better to bake it himself." ”

Daquan stretched out his hand and wanted to say that he was coming to roast, but Wang Yu glared back.

Well, his task is also quite arduous, not only to grill fish for Wang Yu to eat, but also Wang Kangda and Hao Shou.

However, he made several fires and roasted them together, and the speed was much faster.

Li Jing was absentmindedly grilling fish, and from time to time he looked up at the city wall, Wang Kangda and they were still adding firewood to the city wall, and the fire was as fierce as a tiger.

The Sui army on the city wall was dumbfounded when they saw that the enemy army was actually grilling fish under their noses, are they provoking?

It's a pity that the enemy is out of range of bows and arrows, and they can't do anything about it, so they can only watch the other party arrogantly grill fish.

When the smell of fish wafted from the city to the city walls, the soldiers defending the city swallowed in unison.

It's so fragrant~

Qu Tutong grimaced and instructed his soldiers: "Bring breakfast, I'll just stare here to see what tricks they can play." ”

-------

After noon, Wang Kangda was still directing the soldiers to add firewood, and the raging fire lit up everyone's eyes, shining with golden light.

Li Jing is seriously grilling the fish, and Wang Yu is concentrating on eating the fish.

After roasting one after another, the fish were sent to the warriors.

After receiving the fish grilled by the deputy marshal himself, the soldiers were sincerely afraid, if they couldn't succeed this time, how could they be worthy of the fish grilled by the deputy marshal?

Everyone invariably glanced at Wang Yu, who was eating well, and prayed in their hearts: Little ancestor, you can't play tricks on us......

"The hour is near, go and fetch water."

Wang Yu spit out the fish bones and rinsed his hands.

After a while, Hao Shou hung three wooden barrels on his left and right arms, and ran over with a brisk stride.

Behind him were three warriors, but each of them carried only two buckets of water.

Li Jing sighed: "Sure enough, he is a flexible fat man." ”

Wang Yu smiled, she had already seen the fat man's flexible skills.

After the bucket was prepared, Wang Yu stood in front of Hao Shou and the others, and solemnly advised: "Remember what I told you in the morning, don't be careless." ”

"Yes." Several people responded in unison.

Wang Yu ran a few steps towards the fire and shouted: "Oh, it's on fire, put out the fireβ€”β€”"

Li Jing: "......."

Qu Tutong: "......."

Yao Junsu: "........"

Didn't she burn this fire? What kind of fuss is it to call someone to put out the fire now? Could it be that it was a hallucination that they had just seen her eat fish for several hours?

No matter what the others thought, Hao Shou and the others had already come to the fire with wooden barrels.

They lined up in a fan shape around the fire and lifted the barrels in unison.

"One, two, splash."

Qi Qi threw the water from the bucket into the fire, then threw the barrel away, quickly backing away.

The Sui army on the city wall was dumbfounded again, it was just a fire, was it necessary to retreat so far?

After a few breaths, seeing that no stones were blown out, Wang Yu immediately ordered: "Next, the speed must be fast, and the others should pay attention to cover." ”

I saw three warriors wearing face tokers, each carrying a large hammer, rushing to the place where the fire was extinguished, and hammering the city wall hard.

Next, the rebels saw a strange sight, that is, under the hammer strike, the outer stone of the city wall collapsed.

Everyone was stunned, including the soldiers of the Sui Army who looked down.

Doesn't it mean that the city walls are not afraid of fire?

Why did it collapse after only half a day?

While the crowd was stunned, the warriors had already smashed all the stones that could be broken and quickly removed the stones.

The stone layer collapsed, revealing the rammed earth layer inside, and this gap was about two zhang long and more than two zhang high.

"What are they doing?" Li Jing asked, pointing to a group of soldiers with hoes.

"Oh, dig a trench." Wang Yu replied lightly.

When Qu Tutong realized that the enemy had destroyed the outer layer of the city wall, he immediately ordered: "The archers are in position, shoot them." ”
