Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 82

I skipped the old man Jiang and other common people, because I found a good job with high wages, I didn't mention the excitement in my heart.

Not long after that, more than a dozen ordinary people joined with their labor tools, including two carpenters, all of whom became temporary labor under Hu Biao and the others.

Yu Hanfeng, a rookie, temporarily acted as a construction worker.

Facing a sketch drawn by Huang Yizhi, he began to direct the common people to get busy outside Suifengdun with their own labor tools.

Regarding this time, Hu Biao and the others plan to hire [-] laborers at one time. This decision is actually the result of careful consideration after a collective discussion among netizens.

Suifeng Pier, which originally covered an area of ​​five or six hundred square meters, looks like a small earthen castle.

On the three-meter-high soil platform, there is not only a circle of a little more than one meter of soil wall, but also some rooms and warehouses repaired with brick and soil; in general, it is not bad in terms of defense.

But since more than a month ago, it was breached once by passing Tartars.

After being damaged to a certain extent, many places are almost meaningless.

What's more, Hu Biao and the others were facing a battle of unknown intensity five days later, so they naturally thought of strengthening the fortifications here at Suifengdun as much as possible within the limited time.

If possible, it is best to strengthen into an iron barrel defensive formation with no dead ends.

There are many specific enhancement plans, such as:
First, excavate and transport away some of the silt at the bottom of the ditch outside Suifengdun, which has long since dried up.

The trench, which was originally only less than two meters deep and more than one meter wide, had to be at least three meters deep and two meters wide, so that the tartars had no way to climb the wall directly.

Install some sharpened wooden sticks at the bottom, and it is best to draw water from the river two miles away to fill the trench.

Otherwise, the Tartars of this kind of earthy city wall would have easily dug out some places where they could climb upwards with their weapons.

Even more viciously, the Tartars can dig down a section of earth wall for you.

Second, the Tartars are very good at riding and shooting, and they are also a great threat to the defenders in the terrain of Suifengdun.

Often when they are moving quickly on horseback, the arrows they shoot can hit the target accurately; on the contrary, it is difficult for them on the defensive side to hit these moving targets because of archery.

So they planned to dig out dense horse traps on the ground within 150 meters around Suifeng Pier.

It doesn't matter how big or deep the dig is, a bowl-sized [-] to [-] centimeters deep is enough; enough for a galloping horse to step in, and it will break the ankle ring and throw away the knight in front of it.

In a real fight, if the Tartars dared to swarm over to play riding and shooting, they wouldn't be able to kill these bastards.

Third, in just five days, it is estimated that there is no way to paste a layer of blue bricks on the four or five meter high earth wall of Suifengdun to make it stronger.

There is no way to raise the entire Suifeng pier built from the earth.

However, everyone agrees that it doesn't matter if you can't increase the height in a short period of time, but you should completely install some defensive facilities such as archery towers.

In addition to erecting directly on the top of the pier to increase the height of the archery tower; it is also possible to install some archery towers extending out of the earth wall.

More precisely, some extended wooden platforms.

On the shelves around the platform, some PLA military coats or quilts can be used to cover it up.

Because netizens clearly remember that in the drama they watched, many of our soldiers charged with watered quilts, and the devil's crooked machine guns couldn't pierce through them.

Even if the plot in the drama is not believable, then they should lower the standard severely, and it should be no problem to block the heavy arrows of the Tartars, right?
Think about it, once they fight, they will hide in the arrow tower that can defend against the sharp arrows of the Tartars.

The sharp arrows of the Tartars couldn't pierce the military coats and quilts at all. Instead, they quietly used bows and arrows, or blunderbusses to call out, and as long as they hit, they could cause battle results.

That feeling must be flattering.

Fourth, Yang Dongli and the others went to Huangtubao this time. Of course, they got Hu Biao's instructions before they set off, and they tried their best to get some guns back.

What kind of cannons in red, big general cannons are fine, I probably can't afford them; like the famous Fran cannons, it's best to get some of these small cannons back.

It's just that Hu Biao is not sure whether this kind of small cannon can be obtained.

Therefore, traditional defense facilities such as traditional sieve carts and trebuchets must naturally be installed and set up one by one.

It's just that the above ideas are very good, but there are also some difficulties.

With Hu Biao and his team in their twenties, and their weak physical labor ability; even if they don't train and sleep, they can't finish the above astonishing workload.

Fortunately, the copper coins seized from the Tartars probably weighed more than 100 catties.

In this year, it can be regarded as the best quality Chongzhen Tongbao. The Xiaoping coin inside weighs only 3 grams, and one coin that can be used as five copper coins is 3.7 grams.

After a little calculation, this big bag of copper coins is probably worth [-] to [-] Wen.

I don't know where those Tartars made such a bunch of things from the cellar of the landlord Lao Cai.

As for the use direction of this pile of copper coins, except for Lang Qing who has done some research in this area, he poked his ass and poked around for a long time, and came up with one or two hundred coins that were said to be of some value and planned to take them back.

For the rest, it is said that there is no value in bringing them back.

Just used to hire some people to help complete their above ideas.

After careful calculation by Hu Biao and the others, it was believed that fifty people worked for four days, and the wages were just enough to basically consume the pile of copper coins.

Why do you only plan to work for four days when you have five days left?

It was a group of netizens who were worried that in the last day, those Tartars would not know when they would attack; if they came early, wouldn't these people suffer?

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, as long as they work for four days.

After all, Suifengdun is not very big, and there are four days of busy work, which is enough to complete the above preparations...

******
At the end of the hour, that is, at the beginning of noon, Suifengbao began to provide the promised lunch to the hired laborers.

In such a process, the old man Jiang received unexpected surprises one after another.

With the knowledge he has lived for most of his life, let alone such a thing, he has never heard of such a good thing.

Grandpa God!What they ate at noon was white flour steamed buns, fist-sized steamed buns for five siblings, and a bowl of pork bone soup.

It is said to be bone soup, but the old man Jiang can clearly see that there is a thick layer of oil floating on the top of each bowl of soup;
When I drank it into my mouth, the taste was so delicious that it reached the tip of my heart.

In the past, they just worked for Jiang Dashan, the richest man in the village, which was just a few grains and buns; there was no soup, but cold water was enough.

If you want to eat white flour steamed buns, you can wait until the Chinese New Year at home.

"These military men are all good men, but they don't know how to save money, no matter how rich they are, they can't stand such a waste, right?"

The old man Jiang who muttered such a sentence snatched a white flour steamed bun from the greasy young son beside him, and put them in his arms together with the two steamed buns in his hand.

This is to be taken home at night and given to the children at home to eat.

At the same time, he also cut off the idea of ​​promising his second daughter to the soldier surnamed 'Yu' after asking someone to talk about it before eating.

Mainly before eating, he finally learned about the feats of these Suifengdun soldiers.

Yesterday, he took the initiative to attack, killed many Tartars, and seized good money, cattle, horses, silk cloth, etc.; I heard that for a while, there was a reward from the Holy Majesty.

Thinking about the appearance of this soldier surnamed Yu, he could be regarded as Zhou Zheng, speaking politely, nicely, and politely.

More importantly, the old man Jiang had such a little thought about the fact that he should be able to get a lot of money; let him promise his second daughter to the other party.

After all, although his second daughter's appearance is only average, but she has a strong body and looks like a son. The soldier surnamed Yu must be very willing to come.

Originally, he was thinking of whom to entrust, so that he could talk about this marriage.

It's a pity that looking at the behavior of these people, old man Jiang immediately withdrew all his thoughts.

These military men are too prodigal, and they can't use their money like this. Isn't it okay to save it and buy a few acres of good paddy fields to live on...

At the same time, Yu Hanfeng, who was also eating big steamed buns and broth, suddenly sneezed loudly without warning.

Originally, he wanted to take a look around to see if someone was secretly speaking ill of him again.

Just at such a time, Hu Biao, their deadly commander, said, "Yu Hanfeng, corn, are you here?"Hurry over 'after.

This 26-year-old single dog immediately forgot such a small matter and ran towards Hu Biao.

I don't know what I missed without knowing it.
