Under the cover of the rumbling sound of artillery, along the central axis from south to north, from Fengyi Gate through Guangyangfang, and on the tributary of the Gaoliang River diagonally passing through the city, men and horses from the Huai Army Engineering Corps were also on various roads. Between the scaffolding and the traction equipment, busy and intense work was going on.
Ruan Qi, known as the "Water Slippery Fish", emerged from the rippling water. He took a few big breaths with great greed, and then he regained his strength; after all, these few waterways connecting the inner and outer cities were the only ones in and out of the city. It is indeed a bit too long, and has been cleaned up over the years due to use. There are many twists, turns, and blockages. In addition, there are iron grids, rows of hooks, and hidden thorns that have been installed throughout the ages to prevent penetration;
So even with the water-based skills he had learned in the lake since childhood and the fish bladder air bladder inherited from his family, he almost couldn't get out, and the shiny fish skin water jacket on his body was in tatters and was hung up by the hook. There were strands of blood oozing out.
But this time, he finally made some gains and discoveries. Although he could not figure out the water source and ground veins in the city, he could still report it to the attacking army for some use. In this way, he can also be recorded in the routine merit book. Whether it is to reduce the inspection time for conversion to full-time service, or to exchange it for the number of military field assignments in the future, it is a great benefit.
After all, this time, with the help of two brothers who were also marching north, they specifically sought the connections of Song Gongming, a fellow Yunzhou fellow who was already a bandit envoy and the deputy governor of the lower state, and the other two deputy generals of the garrison, Lu Junyi and Zheng Chao Gai was made the sponsor and recommender respectively, and he was arranged into the engineering force of the Northern Expedition. With his skills in boat handling and water exploration, he became a co-op of the hydrographic survey team accompanying the army.
He thought that he could only jump into the river by grabbing the buoy, and float and dive to measure the depth and length. It was an ordinary and boring job; but unexpectedly, one day he and other selected people were wandering around together. After traveling hundreds of miles, we arrived at the ruined Youzhou City, where we embarked on another puzzling dive and exploration operation. But no matter how ignorant he is, this seems to be a very important activity and action.
Therefore, he must cherish this opportunity to stay in the army, and urgently need to perform and achieve in order to keep this good future; instead of continuing to stay in Onozawa's local fishing team and continue to hang out with those old, weak, women and children Being together and smelling like fish lasts a lifetime.
Then, Ruan Qi, who had just had his wounds cleaned and bandaged, was called over again. A general with only seven fingers and full of fireworks asked him face to face whether he could accept a more dangerous and important mission. But it was because he had encountered and salvaged the body of a companion who had unfortunately died underwater before, that he came into the eyes of the generals who were working on the river.
Ruan Qi, who wanted to make great contributions rather than just being called "General Ruan Er's younger brother" and "Little Ruan of the Wulang family", naturally agreed without hesitation; then he carried two seemingly The extra-large floating bag slowly sank into the water with some clumsiness and sluggishness, disappearing again, leaving only residual splashes and currents.
A moment later, it affected the strings of hanging objects on the river, and one after another they released their hooks and sank into the water.
Suddenly, a large area of ??surging mud suddenly appeared on the Caohe River near one end of the inner city, as well as instantaneous rippling currents and sprays. It slapped heavily on the moss-marked and water-weed banks, but it still did not cause much trouble. Pay attention. Then one after another, several large splashes of water and bubbles came out of the water along with the dirty mud, making most of the originally clear river become muddy. .
At this moment, a small team that was patrolling within the nearby city wall also stopped as if aware of the situation. The primary school leader couldn't help but climb a few steps higher and looked out at the gap in the crenel to have a look. Seeing those scaffoldings still standing on the river that seemed to be salvaging something, he just showed a slightly puzzled expression when he saw several pops of water splashing on the side of his head. In an instant, he was so shocked that he rolled and crawled back. Sweating profusely, he sat down on the ground, his face turned pale and he could no longer speak a word.
"The gunthe gunthe gunbe careful with the gun"
However, this life-and-death accident and episode also interrupted his previous feelings about some strange and sudden movements under his feet, and made them hurriedly return to the safer inner wall patrol.
Ruan Xiaoqi also felt very bad at this moment. After once again entering the water and placing the things he was told above, his instincts and reactions had gradually become dull and slow with the constant consumption of physical strength and heat. The time for breathing was getting shorter and shorter; so much so that before he could swim far out of the underground river and corridor, he was hit by a huge momentum from behind.?overturned the past;
In an instant, he took a breath and drank a few big mouthfuls of water. He was so shocked that he was so shaken that he could no longer float up. Just when he was already a little desperate and giving up, there was finally another force pulling him, and he thought about the bright and shining water rising up again, and being exposed to the fresh air again.
It's just that the buzzing in his ears is like an invisible mask put on him out of thin air. He can only see the kind faces of those around him who are supporting and supporting him, but no matter how they open and close their mouths and dance. gesture,
Ruan Qi just can't hear a single movement; am I just deaf? This is the only consciousness and thought he has left at the moment when he is paralyzed.
Then, he was helped to turn around, and saw with his own eyes the great changes taking place on the city wall on the opposite side of the river, as well as the cheers erupting from the surrounding soldiers. The inner city wall that once seemed towering, strong, and deep had a very obvious crack from bottom to top just above the river;
Then among the dense water splashes that continue to collapse and fall, this twisting crack is like a big tree that grows rapidly and climbs upwards. It has climbed to the top in a few breaths, and the entire surface is flat. The uniform inner city wall was suddenly torn apart, split into two halves of different sizes.
Is this the result of everything I personally participated in? At this moment, Ruan Qi was a little surprised and confused and fell into some complicated emotions.
Along the river bank that passed through the city, countless soldiers took action, and under some clear guidance, they rushed straight towards the collapsed and cracked city wall with high morale, and the scaffolding and hanging tower rope hooks arranged along the river , was dismantled, placed and became an auxiliary tool for them to rush up the city wall.
With the news that the inner city had been successfully broken, I, who was stationed at the highest point in the Minzhong Temple with full authority as the Chinese Army, was also looking at the garrison flags on the inner city of Youzhou represented by the generals on duty, one by one. Remove and replace it, and finally find a lonely tooth city on the north side.
After all, although the inner city of Youzhou itself is surrounded by rivers and canals and has many underground water veins, it is not suitable for underground attacks. However, corresponding operations in underground waterways are not restricted here. The equipment used this time was mainly from the exclusive equipment of the Navy and the Beiyang Navy and newly developed experimental weapons. They were mainly heavy special attack weapons aimed at the production of large warships in the Southern Dynasties, but they did not expect to be here first. Came in handy.
As for the familiar name that was reported in the report, it was just a small episode that made people smile.
At this time, the urgent report of enemy sightings in the west outside Youzhou City was sent to my case again
¡°We finally caught up, Youzhou City is just ahead.¡±
"You guys, please work harder"
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust in the sky, a general who was riding ahead and looking tired and dusty was also shouting encouragement behind him with a hoarse voice.
"As long as we can drive away those Huai thieves, I'll let you spend three days and three nights having fun with each other"
"Now most of the Huai bandits are fighting endlessly in the city, and there are just some scattered troops outside the city, numbering in the thousands."
"Let the flesh and blood of this generation be used as a test tool to polish and lubricate my athletes' swords and guns"
