Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 841 Hidden danger
(Two transitional chapters)
After making a few sounds of "Bah, bah~", he spit out half a mouthful of sand.

I feel my arms are so sore after working for a long time.

Looking at the shell-proof hole in front of me, it is supported by several logs as thick as a bowl, and covered with about fifty centimeters of soil. It can only accommodate a person who can barely curl up.

Mamoru was in his mouth, using a voice that only he could hear, and muttered:
"Such a level of bomb-proof hole should be able to defend against the ancient explosive shells used by the sinister foreign devils during the Duck War, right?
Forget it, let’s leave it as it is, I can’t dig it out anyway. "

Shouzheng, the lucky guy summoned by the system this time, or one of the unlucky ones.

The reason why he had such an idea of ​​​​displaying things was because a middle-aged man who called himself Lao Yang a while ago.

After chatting with him for a few words, he was asked to repair the fortifications.

Specifically, they first dig a hole about 1.5 meters deep in the ground, which is the legendary individual bunker, and then build a strong enough anti-gun cave.

The above is considered a hard task assigned by Lao Yang and must be completed.

If it is not completed, it is said that there will be no food and water to drink, and the life and death team will not care about it in the future.

If after completion, we can continue to dig on both sides and connect it with other individual bunkers to form a trench, it will naturally be a better result.

Regarding the above requirements, Shouzheng actually understands them quite well.

With his military knowledge, he knew the importance of building such a fortification.

After all, the height of such a small hill is limited, and the mountain is not steep at all. In addition, the Qing Army in Yangcheng has so far shown no intention of leaving the city for support.

So much so that on the side of the Yin Army, there is no need to worry about the threat of enemies from both sides.

Attacks can be launched from all sides of this small hill, or artillery positions can be set up to fire; in this case, even building the famous reverse slope fortifications will have no effect.

On the contrary, circular trenches with anti-cannon holes have better effects.

So for almost three hours before, he had been digging hard with a hastily made wooden shovel.

I never stopped, even if I was tired, thirsty, and hungry, I gritted my teeth and persisted.

Now that I have been busy, I have finally completed a single soldier bunker and an anti-cannon hole.

His tense spirit relaxed slightly, and he felt exhausted and couldn't hold on anymore; so he decided to sit down and take a good rest.

Regardless of the dirt on the ground, Shouzheng just lay on the ground like a big character.

I don't want to worry about anything anymore, just destroy it together.

The moment he lay down, he was so comfortable that he almost screamed; but soon after, all kinds of chaotic thoughts came to his head.

For example: I just got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and used my phone to check the girl who was twisting and turning for a while; when I pressed the flush button, I appeared in such a ghost place.

During the entire period, there was nothing unusual, not even a single text message was received.

That thing that calls itself a system is completely foolhardy, right?

In the following time, he was still confused and without understanding the specific situation, he was forcibly tied to the horse and charged with the large army.

Good guy!The kind of alarming sound like bullets whizzing around the leader and shells exploding right next to him.

If he hadn't already had a clean excrement without any inventory in the previous time, he might have been frightened into peeing directly.

no way!Although he asked himself that his skills were definitely very good among ordinary people.

But ordinary people in China in the modern dimension have been living in a peaceful environment for decades. How many people have this kind of related experience?

It would be a strange thing not to be frightened when you encounter someone suddenly.

Of course, what Shouzheng was thinking more about was whether he could go back alive.

If you can't go back, what will you do with the people you care about?Thinking of this, he finally had a strong thought in his mind:

"No, I must go back alive.

As for how to go back alive?

Of course, in front of those in the Xuange camp, he showed that he was of sufficient use; at the critical moment, these ridiculously strong people might be able to survive as long as they gave him a little push. "

Based on this thought, Shouzheng struggled to stand up again.

I planned to find some water to drink and soothe my throat that seemed to be smoking, so I connected the individual trench I was in with the one on the left.

Unexpectedly, he stood up with weak legs. The tall and long-legged beautiful girl whom everyone called the God of Wealth was already running towards him like a deer.

Hastily, she said to him:
"I heard from Lao Yang that you are a serious doctor, the kind who knows how to operate?"

As soon as he heard this, Shouzheng knew that he had an opportunity to show off, because although he was now a Chinese medicine practitioner in a clinic, the matter of surgery was really hard for him.

"Being the exclusive doctor for these people, you don't have to be on the most dangerous front line, fighting the lobster soldiers, right?" He thought happily in his heart.

Two minutes later, Shouzheng started to feel bad.

Even if he had already had some thoughts in his mind, the conditions for surgery in the current environment should be relatively poor and there would be a lot less.

But a scalpel is just a dagger burned with fire.

Disinfection relies entirely on alcohol. If the anesthetic is not enough, the patient named 'Yu Hanfeng' will be knocked unconscious with a stick. There are basically no blood transfusions or related drugs during the operation.

In such an environment, it would be useless even if the gods came...

******
Regarding the troubles of a newbie Shouzheng, His Excellency Hu Biao, the commander of the Xuange Camp Team, knew nothing about it.

But then again, even if he knew this shit, he didn't have much thought about it.

Because currently, he still has more troubles to deal with.

That was when he was busy digging with his mouth crooked, enduring the pain of his wounds being affected by every movement, when three people including Lang Qing, Lao Tie, and Wu Zu, who had previously been responsible for counting supplies, came over.

With a bitter expression on his face, as soon as Lang Qing opened his mouth, there was huge bad news:
"Lao Hu, we can now count all the equipment and supplies, but the situation is very bad."

After hearing this, Hu Biao didn't stop digging in the soil, and replied: "What is the situation? Let's talk louder.

So that everyone can listen together, but we can’t stop.

correct!Speak English and don't let Yu Hong and the others hear something they shouldn't hear. "

Nodding, Lang Qing also dug in the soil together and talked loudly in English about the statistics they had compiled after working hard.

Everyone who was working also pricked up their ears and listened:
“In terms of equipment, swords and other cold weapons are not very useful, so I won’t talk about them for now, but they are enough anyway.

There are a total of 35 revolving muskets and 13 Yin Army Burke-style front-loading smoothbore flintlock guns, with a total of about 1200 rounds of ammunition.

There are 11 walking and riding bows, a total of 362 arrows, and 27 explosive packs. The quantity should be barely enough.

There are a total of 23 artillery pieces of various calibers, 3 and a half barrels of gunpowder, about 70 kilograms, and 117 shells.

However, the quality of these artillery pieces makes everyone shake their heads. It is not as good as the ones we made in the Song Dynasty. They are fixed turrets made of stone, so the person who fires can only adjust the height of the muzzle, but the left and right angles cannot be adjusted.

The cannonballs are all made of iron weights, and the gunpowder is somewhat damp and hardened. In short, don't have high expectations for these things.

In terms of medical supplies, Nanze said that except for anesthetics, everything else was barely enough.

In terms of food, we only found a small jar of pickles and about twenty kilograms of brown rice; but the God of Wealth's horse was killed, so that was a pile of meat for the boss.

The only problem is that I am afraid that the God of Wealth girl will be emotional. "

After hearing all the things Lang Qing said, Hu Biao asked with some confusion: "With weapons and medicines, you don't have to worry about food and drink. Isn't the situation very good? Why are you three crying and mourning?" The imperial concubine also looked unhappy. During the explanation, a sentence came out of his mouth.

"Yes, it's already here. What kind of bicycle do you want? You don't need to worry about the God of Wealth. I'll take care of him. Everyone can just wait and eat horse meat tonight."

Although the others did not speak, they had almost the same idea as Hu Biao.

Although the situation in artillery is somewhat worse, it is also because of the ignorance of Daqing's ruling class that the gunpowder weapons, which were not backward in the Ming Dynasty, have seriously deteriorated now.

Even when Zuo Gong carried his coffin and marched westward to regain the frontier.

Only then did they learn that the explosive shells, which were extremely sharp in their eyes, actually existed at home one or two hundred years ago, but now they are a piece of junk that they don't know how to make.

But relying on the explosive packs, they were able to hold the fort for seven days.

Facing the questions from Hu Biao and Guifei, as well as the puzzled looks from his teammates.

After Lang Qing opened his mouth, he gave an answer that left everyone speechless: "A small amount of emergency food and water are placed in the space ring and bag, and God knows when they will be taken out.

The three of us have been busy for so long, mainly looking around carefully, but we didn't find any water source.

There was a large water tank in the room where the defenders rested, but there was only a bucket of water in it.

After Nanze and the others boiled this bucket of water and used it for cleaning and disinfection before and after the operation, there was basically nothing left. "

If a person does not eat, relying on the body's fat reserves, he may not die within seven days; but if there is no water to drink, he may not be able to withstand it for three days.

Thinking of such a fatal question, everyone couldn't help but imagine the classic picture of an apple on Shangganling being passed around by everyone, and not a single bite was missing.

They were so upset that they even stopped digging in the soil.

Damn it!They didn't even have an apple, if they had known this; when they just crossed over before, Gao Di picked some lychees in the lychee forest and took them with him.

Say it!Those lychees look delicious.

After thinking of the above, the emotions in everyone's hearts and the expressions on their faces became even more depressed.

In fact, in normal times, after experiencing many missions, the nerves of these veterans on the battlefield have become thick enough, and their hearts will never be so fragile.

The key to the problem is, aren't everyone's bodies particularly weak now due to massive blood loss?After encountering these troubles, my emotions are naturally far less strong than before.

Upon seeing this, Hu Biao's heart suddenly thumped.

Even though he felt extremely anxious just thinking about the hidden danger of not being able to drink water in the next seven days.

But I understand that when everyone is injured and exhausted, we must not let morale drop.

Otherwise, there is really no hope of holding on for the next seven days.

He immediately put his hands on his waist and shouted loudly in a relaxed tone: "Isn't it because we haven't found the water source? Don't be so depressed. The sky won't fall.

I had seen it a long time ago. There is a small lake a little over a mile to the southwest at the foot of the hill. It would be better to go there at night and carry two buckets on your back.

As long as there is no moon at night, the chance of success should be high.

In addition, the Sifang Fort can be said to be the lifeblood of the Yangcheng defense line. No matter how bad the dim sum door of Daqing's useless snacks is, are they always watching us being besieged without any reaction?
Reinforcements will always be sent to bring some supplies and water to support. "

Under such a statement, everyone was obviously relieved, at least on the surface.

In fact, when he said the above words, although Hu Biao looked confident on his face, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

And many members of the team also feel the same way.

I just knew that I couldn't talk about this thing, so I pretended to be relaxed.

Even after Yang Dongli opened his mouth, he loudly said another good news, intending to make everyone's confidence and morale better:
“The three newcomers that brothers have joined this time are all quite good in terms of quality;.

The first one, codename: Righteous Taoist.

This guy claims to be a general practitioner, the kind that combines traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

After graduating from Jinling Medical University with a clinical major, I worked in cardiothoracic surgery for a period of time, so I can even perform thoracotomy surgery, not to mention incision.

This means that our Xuange Camp team finally has a talent who can perform serious surgeries.

He was currently operating on Yu Hanfeng to deal with some kind of 'external lung contusion'; if it hadn't been for his presence, Commander Yu wouldn't have survived tonight.

In addition, he is also a martial arts enthusiast. He knows how to use the Taiyi Light Sword and the Yin Talisman, and has a certain foundation in archery.

Although I was scared to death in the previous battle and acted a bit cowardly, this is understandable; as a rookie, just be frightened a few times and your courage will be good.

The second one, codename: Shadow Rider.

He claimed to be the treasurer of a private equity fund company, which the team has no use for. Anyway, no matter how much money I have, I don't plan to invest it in the fund.

However, this guy is 183 centimeters tall and weighs 230 pounds, and his body looks quite strong.

He also works honestly and hard, which is exactly what the team is in urgent need of labor force like big animals.

Now, this buddy of Shadow Cavalry has not only dug the individual soldier pit and artillery hole that he is responsible for, but also dug a large trench. Let's all applaud and encourage him.

The third one, codename: Hanjiang.

He is 172 centimeters tall and weighs 140 kilograms. He is a middle-aged man born in 85. This kind of man with an old man at the top and a young man at the bottom is simply a born scalper, and he naturally understands the benefits.

correct!He also graduated from an agricultural school, and his professional knowledge in agriculture is much better than that of Lao Hei.

Although this kind of agricultural knowledge is not needed in this mission, once it changes to a long-term mission in the future, it will definitely be a scarce talent for the team. "

Sure enough, under the shouts of Hu Biao and Yang Dongli, everyone's mood immediately improved significantly, at least it didn't look so dull anymore.

While everyone was continuing to work, they started joking around in this mood.

Just because of the continuous consumption of physical strength, everyone became more and more tired. At the same time, they saw that the artillery positions of the Yin Army below were almost completed.

However, at least a quarter of their fortifications are still unfinished.

What's even worse is that a big shot should be coming from the Yin Army side.

They are currently outside the range of their muskets, under the admiration of many officers; while walking on the previous battlefield, they are pointing at the four forts.

It was obvious from the looks of it that they would soon launch a bombardment of the fort.

In terms of tactics, it is nothing more than starting a new round of infantry attack after a bombardment.

The people who had the explosive packs in hand were not worried about blocking their attack; the key was that if they continued to be consumed like this, how could they still have the energy to secretly fetch water in the middle of the night?

Fortunately, at this juncture, Zhan Xiang suddenly thought of something and said:
"Lao Hu, the prisoner I captured claimed to be an important member of the Cavendish family from the Great Yin Empire. He seemed to be very awesome.

How about using this thing to buy some time so that everyone can take a breath? "

"Let's go and meet this gentleman from the Cavendish family." Hu Biao threw the wooden shovel in his hand and shouted excitedly...
