"Nonsense! Out of what city? Let's go out and find death with this kind of person? Since we don't plan to go out of the city, and don't let the other party in, you don't talk nonsense, do according to my orders, the houses and grass houses in the city are as you choose, remember, you must firmly build the city gate hole for me, even if the city gate is broken, so that the enemy army cannot enter! Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly!

"Yes!" Sun Yan has been a soldier for two years, and it is the first time he has been reused, although he doesn't know what this young centurion is going to do, but this is an order, he has to listen to it, and after selecting ten people, he quickly ran down the city wall to get busy!

Shen Wei's heart beat wildly on the side, and he said in his heart, what did this master learn in his dream? Is this a way out? Fight to the death? The reason seems to be similar, but it doesn't make sense in theory!

Zhao Xuanyi looked at the others again, and saw a tall and strong man, this man is at least one hundred and eighty tall according to the current standard, with a sturdy figure, and his face is very honest, "You, what is your name?" Zhao Xuanyi pointed to the man and asked.

"Little Tang Tianli!" The man replied.

Zhao Xuanyi walked over: "Tang Tianli, right?" I'll give you a task, you lead ten people to dig a horse pit for me outside the city, remember, you can't dig horizontally and vertically, you have to dig in dislocation, and each horse pit is five feet wide and four feet deep, from now until tomorrow morning, dig me at least a hundred outside the city wall, and there will be a reward for digging well, if you don't do it well, you will be punished! ”

When Tang Tianli heard this, although he had the strength, ten people dug a hundred? And time is so urgent? The expression on his face was a little embarrassed, and Zhao Xuanyi also saw it, "What?" Having difficulties? ”

"Report to the centurion, ten people may be less, give me five more people, it should be about the same!" Tang Tianli said.

When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he seemed to be a little less, "I'll give you ten more people, give you twenty people, you just dig a horse pit, give food when you're hungry, and water when you're thirsty, there's no limit!" ”

"Yes!" Hearing such conditions, Tang Tianli shouted, and said in his heart that I am also talking now, the land outside the city wall is still soft, and twenty people are enough! But there's another question: "Centurion, you're going to brick the gates to death, how are we going to get out and come back?" ”

"Use a ladder, and use a ladder when you enter and exit in the future, and the gates shall not be opened again, but bring up all the guards of the gates to me!" Go for it! Zhao Xuanyi shouted!

"Yes!" Tang Tianli turned his head to look at the crowd behind him, selected twenty people to find tools, and began to dig the horse pit!

"Y-What's your name?" Zhao Xuanyi asked, pointing to another soldier.

The man looked left and right, this was calling himself, "The subordinate is called Huo Zhigang!" ”

"Okay, Huo Zhigang, you take a few people to the city to find me a few carriages, the better, go quickly!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.

"Yes!" After Huo Zhigang finished speaking, he also went to get busy!

Zhao Xuanyi's heart is almost over, and there are still a few details to pay attention to, "Who knows the work of a carpenter?" Who would? ”

"I—I will!" A soldier shouted.

"What's your name?"

"Little Su Xiaoling, she has been working as a carpenter with her father since she was a child!" Su Xiaoling said proudly.

Zhao Xuanyi haha: "Talent! Wait for Huo Zhigang to get the carriage in a while, and you will do whatever I ask you to do when the time comes, you know? ”

"Yes, all the centurions!" Su Xiaoling shouted.

Zhao Xuanyi looked at the other remaining soldiers, "Don't stand here anymore, except for those who stand guard, the rest of the people will all go to rest, and continue to stand guard at night, quickly!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers are getting moving!

Shen Wei was very surprised when he saw that dozens of soldiers were mobilized by Zhao Xuanyi, and they also did some things that bandits thought about, if this was Zhao Xuanyi before, he would not have been so calm and gave such an order with the style of a general, Shen Wei seemed to see a general who had really fought a hundred battles giving orders, is this still Zhao Xuanyi?

"Where's the Fireheads?" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly.

"Here, centurion, I'm the captain of the Fireheads!" A chubby soldier ran over and said.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Tan Beiping!"

"Okay, you can start a fire for me to cook now, we have enough food, your fire is not allowed to be extinguished, as long as there are brothers who are hungry, give me food, let the brothers eat openly, if anyone comes to me because they are hungry, I only ask!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly.

"Yes, the mission is guaranteed!" After Tan Beiping finished speaking, he quickly ran down the city wall!

Shen Wei saw that there was no one else around Zhao Xuanyi, so he walked over, "Young master, do you already have a plan?" Can you talk to your subordinates? ”

Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "Brother Shen, the current plan is very simple, one word, delay!" ”

"Drag? Didn't you just talk about attacking? What else is the best offense to defend? "Shen Wei is getting more and more confused!

"That's right! But attacking with soldiers, that's the next step, I'm going to attack with traps and weapons! Zhao Xuanyi said confidently.

Shen Wei's face was even more puzzled, he really couldn't understand the young master's thoughts, and Zhao Xuanyi didn't explain too much, it is estimated that even if he explained, he didn't understand!

"At present, it seems that the enemy's army will arrive tomorrow, and we will hold on for eight days, so that we can hang out the battle exemption card early tomorrow morning, so that we can hold out for three days!" Because in ancient times, as long as the anti-war card was hung out, it was not possible to attack for three days and seventy-two hours, which was the integrity of the ancients!

And when Shen Wei heard this, his eyelids jumped, and he said in his heart, This is your way? What else do you want to ask, Zhao Xuanyi has disappeared, turned around and went down the city wall!

And the soldiers also began to get busy, outside the city, Tang Tianli took the soldiers with tools to dig the horse pit, Sun Yan in the city with more than a dozen people was demolishing the house, and the broken bricks and rubble were quickly transported to the city gate with a cart and began to build the city gate, this practice is really fresh!

And Huo Zhigang spent half an hour transporting four carriages with horses, and came to Zhao Xuanyi, "Centurion, I have searched all over the city, and there are only these four carriages, and they are all dilapidated!" ”

Zhao Xuanyi came over and took a look, only to see that the wood on the carriage was already worn, but it was still sturdy, but the appearance of the mountain was not very neat, "You are doing a good job, go and rest first, and I will call you when I use you later!" ”

"Yes!" Huo Zhigang took a few people to rest!

"Su Xiaoling!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Su Xiaoling shouted and ran over, "Centurion, what orders do you have?" ”

Zhao Xuanyi pointed to these carriages, "Now remove the wheels and axles of these four carriages for me, remember, you must not break them!" ”

"Huh? Axle removal? Su Xiaoling said in her heart, what is this for? Ran away without riding an axle? Don't want the carriage?

[Smack! Zhao Xuanyi slapped Su Xiaoling's head, "What are you talking about?" Hurry up! ”

"Yes!" Su Xiaoling said in her heart, you are the master, what do you say I do! Greet the soldiers on the side, "Brothers, take a hand!" ”

And just like that, the axles and wheels of the four wagons were all removed! Su Xiaoling wiped the sweat from her head, "Centurion, it's all off, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Xuanyi came over and took a look, the wheels and axles in ancient times were made of wood, which was very strong and durable, and it may be stronger than modern steel, "Su Xiaoling, listen up now!" You sawed this axle for me in the middle, the wheel was five fingers wide, and you cut me a groove two fingers wide and two fingers deep in the middle, and you cut it out for me in one circle! Can it be done? ”

Su Xiaoling frowned, and looked the wheel up and down, "Can it be can, but?" What is it for? ”

"Just let you do it, do I have to report to you for everything?" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly.

"No, you don't! I'll do it now! Su Xiaoling was frightened by Zhao Xuanyi's roar and hurriedly went to work! A few soldiers on the side also went to help, although everyone was puzzled!

Shen Wei walked over, looked at Zhao Xuanyi's order just now, and the question mark in his heart was about to be fried, "Young master, can you tell me, what do you want this wheel for?" ”

Zhao Xuanyi turned his head and looked at the city wall behind him, "Make the pulley, after Su Xiaoling is done in a while, you ask him to lead someone to fix these wheels on the city wall, and then tie the six big falling stones with a rope, and tie the rope through the groove in the middle of the wheel!" ”

After Shen Wei listened, he woke up like a dream and understood instantly! Because the falling stone is not enough, Zhao Xuanyi wants to fix the rope with this pulley modified by the wheel, so that after throwing the falling stone down, it can be quickly pulled back, and with the pulley can save a lot of effort, and by pulling and putting it, the falling stone can also be used repeatedly, unlike before throwing it down and not coming back!

"High!" Shen Wei stretched out his thumb and put it in front of Zhao Xuanyi, could it be that the young master was really instructed in a dream? If such a clever idea had been put in front of him, he wouldn't have been able to think of it if he had been killed!

Zhao Xuanyi laughed, and said in his heart, you can slowly understand it, how can you feudal thoughts of young people in the new era guess it? "There's no way, the equipment in the city is limited, so I can only deal with it like this! By the way, use the strongest rope to tie the stones, and try not to let the enemy cut the rope! ”

Shen Wei had a happy smile on his face, seeing Zhao Xuanyi who was now like being reborn, he seemed to have a feeling that this battle to defend the city might really be won, or not!

At this moment, I saw Tang Tianli running down from the city wall shirtless, and when he was far away, he began to shout loudly, "Centurion, centurion, my subordinates have something to report!" ”

Zhao Xuanyi looked at this tall and tall Hanhan, and he still liked it very much in his heart, with such a strong physique like an ox, it was perfect to be a soldier, and he didn't lose his strength, so he couldn't be wrong if he threw it on the battlefield, "How can you be powerful?" Got stuck? ”

Tang Tianli ran to Zhao Xuanyi and clasped his fists with both hands, "It's not a centurion, brothers, let me ask, after the horse trap is dug out, do you put a wooden stake barb in it, or a deadly steel knife?" ”

After Zhao Xuanyi listened, he thought about it carefully, "Don't put it, don't put anything, just dig a trap pit, hide it with branches and hay on it, and tell everyone that nothing is allowed!" ”

"Nothing?" Shen Wei asked with some curiosity, the trap is a trap prepared to kill the local cavalry, and it is usually filled with barbed stakes or rows of steel knives, if you don't put anything, isn't it in vain? Tang Tianli also had a questioning face, really don't let go?

Zhao Xuanyi gave the two of them a reassuring smile, and said mysteriously, "Do what I say, the result will definitely satisfy you, okay, go to work!" ”

"Yes!" Although he was puzzled in his heart, Tang Tianli still listened to Zhao Xuanyi's words, turned around and climbed the city wall again!

Shen Wei really couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, "Young master, do you really don't let go of anything when you are trapped in the horse pit?" ”

Zhao Xuanyi nodded, "Digging out the trap is nothing more than resisting the enemy's cavalry and ladders, as long as there are enough pits on the ground, the enemy's cavalry and ladders will not be able to play a role, if the other party dares to use infantry to force an attack, hum, I will let them know what regret is!" ”

"Hey, Brother Shen, don't be idle, you will take someone to dismantle this cart frame in a while, and take it to the city wall to make a defensive board, which can resist the enemy's bow and arrow!" Zhao Xuanyi said.

"Okay, my subordinates will do it!" Now Shen Wei and this group of soldiers heard Zhao Xuanyi's order, and suddenly had confidence in their hearts, as long as they had the blood of battle, they would be more powerful in doing things, and everyone would be busy!

And Zhao Xuanyi was slowly walking on the empty street, looking at the empty city, Zhao Xuanyi laughed silently, and said in his heart, What is this called? Others are either rich and invincible, or they are born with a halo, they are good, they are obviously the life of a great young master, but they are thinking about how to save their lives here, and they have a daughter-in-law who is married, but they always think about killing themselves by the law!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuanyi sighed weakly, then again, he hasn't seen his daughter-in-law who has already been married? I don't know if this woman is good-looking? However, in ancient times, those who could be generals were estimated to be covered in tendon meat, and their faces were like ashes at the bottom of the pot. It's better not to want it, or let's have a divorce stream too?

And just when Huangling City began to be busy garrisoning, the Ming army base camp fifty kilometers away was not calm, although the two armies have been facing each other for more than half a month, but both sides did not take the initiative to attack, but used small forces to attack and harass the periphery!

Outside the barracks, tens of thousands of soldiers are all ready to go, some stand guard and patrol, some drill equipment, 10,000 horses keep roaring and galloping, the whole barracks is solemn and solemn, the iron-like military discipline is all shown in this group of soldiers, their expressions are indifferent, their eyes exude murderous aura, and the arrogance on their faces proves that the military might of the Ming Dynasty is fully displayed!
