Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye for the excavation of the Ling Canal.

With the assistance of Mojia's tools, the progress is becoming more and more obvious, and all the projects are being carried out in an orderly manner without encountering much difficulty.

During the excavation, several groups of enemy soldiers came to inquire for information, but before they could get close, they were discovered by the Iron Eagle Sharps, and when the two sides were about to fight, these enemies turned and ran.

They knew how strong the Qin army was, and they didn't dare to fight the Qin army head-on, so they could only escape.

"According to the current progress, it should take more than a month to fully dig the spiritual channel."

Shi Lu stood on the bank of the spiritual canal, watching the conscripts who were constantly toiling.

Bai Zhong said: "More than a month, faster than my budget, it doesn't matter in time, as long as we can dig through, but our action is so big, the people of Yue Yue will not just watch and do nothing." ”

Shi Lu asked, "Wu Anjun is worried, if the people of Yue Yue understand the reason why we are digging the Spirit Canal, they will come to destroy it?" ”

Bai Zhongzheng had this concern, and said: "Safety issues, Shaofu doesn't need to be nervous, we will be responsible to the end." ”

Wherever these conscripts dig, the camp will follow.

Security is not a problem for the time being.

The project of digging the spiritual canal was in full swing, Bai Zhong chatted with Shi Lu for a while, and then returned to the army to arrange other work, and there was still more than a month to dig it through, during which there was nothing to do, only training.

The overall strength of the army cannot be left behind, especially the soldiers in Qianzhong.

And so it was, and a few more days passed.

Zhang Tang stayed on the edge of Xiangshui and was responsible for garrisoning the embankment of Xiangshui, while at the same time guarding their camp and grain and grass.

During the excavation of the spiritual canal, no water can be passed, and the embankment has not been dug up, and if the enemy wants to destroy it, as long as the embankment is destroyed, the conscription who is digging may be affected.

There were only 5,000 people around Zhang Tang, two thousand were cultivated recruits, 3,000 ordinary soldiers, and 1,000 strong crossbows.

"Keep patrolling and be vigilant!"

Zhang Tang had nothing else to do, and he inspected the riverbank and camp several times a day, and he also understood that this responsibility was very heavy and could not be relaxed.

This state of tension lasted for several days, and it will continue to be maintained.

Before you know it, it's night again.

Zhang Tang finished his last inspection, arranged for a few soldiers to take turns guarding near the river embankment, and then went back to have dinner cooked.

The time came to the second watch or so.

A few soldiers who were on duty on the embankment suddenly heard something in the grass at the foot of the hill behind.

"Who is it?"

They immediately raised their crossbows and looked vigilantly in the direction from which the sound came, and at the same time lit several torches, which were so bright that they were on direct alert.

The movement over there soon disappeared again.

"I'll take a look."

A soldier drew his horizontal knife and approached in the direction from which the movement had come.

Roar!

Suddenly, at this moment, a swarthy boar rushed out and crashed directly into the soldier.

Bang!

The soldier was caught off guard and knocked down, and the boar was very irritable and wanted to kill, and crashed into the fallen soldier, but the next moment he was shot by two crossbow arrows from the strong crossbow and pressed on the soldier.

"It's okay!"

The other soldiers walked over, pushed the boar away, and helped the man up.

The soldier who was knocked down was in pain as if he was falling apart, and exhaled: "We killed a wild boar, can we have a few more pieces of meat for lunch tomorrow?" ”

Hearing his words, everyone laughed.

Two other soldiers, thinking that there might be wild boars nearby, raised their torches and looked into the grass for a while, but found nothing, and they were about to go back when one of the soldiers suddenly shouted.

"Beat the gongs and drums, quick!"

He immediately raised his crossbow and shot an arrow into it.

He saw that there seemed to be a reflection of a blade in the grass, reflecting the light of the torches, and guessed that behind the grass, there might be an enemy hidden.

However, when an arrow was fired, there was a scream.

This sudden change was something they couldn't have imagined, and then under the light of the torches, they saw more than a dozen figures appearing in the grass, about to kill them.

Clang......

The gongs and drums were quickly beaten, and the sound was transmitted to the barracks, which was the communication method they agreed with each other, as long as they heard the sound of gongs and drums, it meant that something was wrong on the other side of the embankment.

Sure enough, as soon as the voice sounded, there was movement in the barracks.

The soldiers hurriedly retreated, and soon returned to the embankment, and then a large group of enemies came out of the grass and killed directly in the direction of the embankment.

Beside them, there were more than a dozen wild boars, roaring, and attacking furiously, these people will have some means to control the beast.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Qin army on the river embankment hurriedly raised their crossbows to counterattack.

Sou......

The bolts rushed past, and the two boars fell, but the other boars had already rushed towards them, and they had to dodge.

After the Yue soldiers appeared, some of them attacked the river embankment, trying to break through the river embankment, flooding part of the canal, and some of them went to Zhang Tang to kill them to stop the support of the Qin army.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Qin army guarding the river embankment resisted with difficulty, and those wild boars would rush over and hit at any time.

"Go and defend the embankment!"

As soon as Zhang Tang walked out of the barracks, he saw this scene.

The two thousand soldiers who had cultivated pulled out their horizontal swords at the same time and killed the soldiers in Yuyue.

Some of the Yue soldiers who intercepted Zhang Tang were all in place, but in front of the soldiers who knew how to cultivate, they were like paper paste, and they were easily broken through and killed on the river embankment.

The remaining 3,000 soldiers of the Qin army also followed and killed.

The soldiers of Yue Yue are very fierce, as if they have a wolf nature.

However, the soldiers of the Qin army, after the most professional training, have sharp horizontal knives in their hands, thick armor, and the methods used to kill the enemy are still ten styles of bloody battles, and their strength is higher than that of the Yue soldiers.

The two sides clashed for a while, and the Yue soldiers who came to sneak attack were killed and retreated one after another.

Among the enemies, there was one who controlled the beast and blew a special whistle.

Chirping......

A shrill sound resounded throughout the night.

Roar!

Then, another roar was heard.

More than a dozen wild boars rushed out of the nearby grass and rushed towards the Qin soldiers.

A soldier armed with a crossbow raises his crossbow to shoot.

After a while, all the wild boars were killed, and the corpses fell on the river embankment.

The river embankment that was suddenly attacked was considered to be defended, and they were all relieved.

"Keep on your guard, don't rest tonight!"

Zhang Tang was worried that there was still danger, and the pressure suddenly increased a lot, so he could only be vigilant all night.
