Chapter 18: Human Piling Machine

For a moment, Sylvie almost wanted to tell that she had secretly followed Kuden and rode a horse to rescue Martin, but when the words came to her lips, a sudden agitation suddenly swallowed her words back, and secretly said in her heart: It's so dangerous, almost exposed.

Sylvie is conflicted, especially when it comes to rescuing Martin. The first is that Martin's negative rumors have already caused a storm in the city, and the second is that she hopes that Lorraine Castle will not be dissolved because of the loss of an heir, and she does not want her lord to be a waste.

It was in this contradictory mood that she secretly put on a set of knightly servants' armor, and followed while Kuden was anxious and didn't have time to care if there was another knight servant.

This is a secret she can't tell, otherwise she will shed her skin if she doesn't die.

On the other hand, she was secretly frightened again: no wonder people often say that Martin Lorraine can fascinate people with a mouth. Among the ladies in the royal capital, there is no one who is not fascinated by Martin.

Hmph! braggart who wouldn't.

Dad also used to say, 'Bragging about being invincible in the world, but being weak and powerless!'

Thinking of her father, Sylvie was a little gloomy again.

At this time, there was a sudden scream not far away.

"Be careful!"

"It's falling, it's falling!"

Immediately, a huge rumbling sound was heard, and even a slight tremor was felt here dozens of meters away.

Martin rushed over in a hurry. He soon saw that the huge fence had fallen to the ground, and the ground was in shambles.

"What's going on?" Martin grimaced.

The orcs of this world are fierce. Although not as disciplined and capable as the orcs in the game "World of Warcraft", the orcs here are obviously more violent, and in terms of individual combat power, they are all humanoid tank-like existences.

Against those spearmen in Lorraineburg, it was definitely the kind of one to fight 10.

In Martin's plan, the wooden fence for defense is definitely the top priority, without the cover of the wooden fence, it is estimated that the entire Lorraine Fort is no match for those monsters except for a small number of cavalry.

Now the fence can't stand well, so it's a fart!

"Report to the young lord, the soil on the highlands is different from Lorraineburg, there is more stone here, and we can't put the whole fence in it. If the bottom cannot be fixed, the natural fence will not be able to stand up. The craftsman explained with difficulty: "So I strongly recommend that we return to the traditional way, first dismantle the wooden fence, dig the required holes for each pile in advance, insert the wooden piles into them, and finally re-top the crossbars to make a fence." ”

Martin's face shuddered: "How long will that take?"

"Five days, no, at least three days......" The carpenter's mouth was bitter, in fact, he had already said less, at least a week in his heart. After all, this is a fence for castles, not for temporary camps.

The former is larger and stronger, while the latter is imbued with a temporary nature that can be brought down by a few horses with a grappling hook.

Martin shook his head, he looked at the sun that was starting to sink in the west: "Three days is too long, it must be done before the sun sets." ”

"How is this possible......" exclaimed the carpenter.

Martin smiled: "I'm not a very unreasonable person, now I'll teach you a good way." You just have to do what I say. yes, have you ever played seesaw?"

"Huh?"

Martin's method is both difficult and simple.

In fact, this is what Martin learned from the Internet. In Africa, when African uncles built houses, where did they have the money to afford what pile drivers. So the method they use is a human piledriver.

A thick and sturdy crossbar was tied to the pillar to be driven like a cross, and then the left and right sides were symmetrical, and ten or eight people stood on the left and right sides of the beam as evenly as possible, and finally a group of African uncles jumped up with the trumpet.

The average weight of a person is about 100 catties, and 20 people are especially 1 ton. The weight of one ton plus the impact of a small jump is a hundred times better than a hammer by hand.

As a result, under Martin's teaching, the painting style of the Limuzha operation, which involved the lives and deaths of more than 1,200 people in the whole fort, completely changed.

When people use thick ropes to pull up the entire wooden fence that is ten meters wide and three meters high, and erect it. The craftsmen quickly stepped forward and fixed several crossbars perpendicular to the wooden fence near the base of the fence stakes.

And then a bunch of guys ran up and jumped and jumped.

At the beginning, it was still "one, two, three, jump!"

After getting acquainted, it becomes "one jump, two jumps, three jumps!"

In the end, all the messy trumpets came out, the boatman's song, the knight's song.

It looks like a group of demons dancing wildly, as if it were some kind of cult ritual.

In any case, if several people jump onto the beam together, the impulse will be added to the fence, and then the sharp bottom of the fence will be cut deeper into the stone soil.

Every knight who saw this scene showed an expression of eating whales, and the same sentence was written on their facesβ€”how could there be such an operation?

Sylvi was dumbfounded, and asked Martin for a long time, "You knew there was this method for a long time?"

Martin smiled, "Well, I accidentally learned it from the library of the royal capital." But it works, doesn't it?"

Knight Kuden also came, and bowed on the spot: "Young master, your wisdom is comparable to that of the greatest prophet." ”

Uh, I've become a god?

Well, the god stick is the god stick!

Martin was also receptive.

The knights and soldiers were excited. No one knows better than them how much advantage a full line of defense can bring in battle.

Charlie's voice was full of excitement: "Balan, the elder of the Brotherhood of Artisans, told me that at this pace, if I work all night, I can erect at least seven fences before dawn. ”

If it's the old Lorraine Fort, it's a dream to say that there are seven or eight kilometers of fences or something, because the circumference is at least.

Because the new Lorraine Fort is located on the high ground, there is only one way to come up, and after the fences of the old fort are all removed, if they are all put on the slope, it is not a problem to get an eighteen-layer defense line at all, and there are even more fences.

Martin forgot about the slope and made a rough comparison: "It is enough to erect 18 fences on the slope, and the rest of the fences, except for enclosing the high ground to prevent people from accidentally falling, the rest of the fences are to be moved to the road between the new fort and the old fort." ”

When the knights heard this, they said, "Huh?

"My father's idea was not wrong, it was only the timing of the implementation. Don't look at us abandoning the old fort, as long as we survive this time, we will eventually go back. When the time comes, I hope to connect the old fort with the new fort. ”

The knights' eyes lit up, and at some point, the hearts that had been poured cold because of the defeat seemed to have a real temperature again.
