258 Consolidating water into ice, building a city overnight

Li Zhun is not stupid, so he didn’t know that Li Ru left himself with a half-cut trick before he left.

Arranging the defense line in the east of Chang’an City, digging trenches and barriers can indeed block the advancement of Cao Cao’s army within a certain period of time.

But this is a brilliant expedient at best.

If there is no matching method to defeat and annihilate the enemy, then this trick is really just a stopgap measure.

Cao Cao’s army rushed over from behind, commanding the revenge more fiercely.

Li Zhun and Li Ru have been mingling for so long, and I quickly figured out the truth about this.


Li Cui is also catching the ducks on the shelves now.

When Li Ru was there, as long as he had a chance, he would tell Li Zhun that he was being put on fire in Chang’an now.

When Han Ting was there, with the righteousness of Han Ting and the Xiliang cavalry with nearly 100,000 in his hand, Li could only live well.

But once the Han court fell on the 15th and the Han Emperor had a problem, then Li Zhun was the target of public criticism.

Li Yu now has no way to think about the problem of the Han Emperor, and whether the fall of Han Ting is also within Li Ru’s calculations.

Anyway, he clearly knows that if he leaves the house now, there is a high probability that he will not end well.

The best ending is to go to a place where the brother of the horns does not shit and become a bandit gangster. After a few years of muddle-headed days, he is surrendered by a powerful warlord.

When the time comes, other bandit leaders can voluntarily surrender, and maybe they can still be a full-time official, but it is impossible for him to be Li Zhun.



As the supreme commander of the former Han military, Da Sima of Han Ting, the murderer of the Han Emperor, cutting off Li Zhun’s head is more valuable than keeping a military commander.

As for the bad ending, Chang’an was broken by the princes, and the treatment after being captured refer to Dong Taishi.

It is light to light a sky lantern, and there are so many ways to torture people.

Li Zhun’s only way was to retreat one or two princes, either to death in a vigorous battle, or to blaze a trail to seize the territory of a certain warlord, gain a firm foothold, and become one of the princes’ wolves.

If it is to change the former Li Zhun, the only idea now is to roll up a large number of gold and silver jewelry, bring guards and horses, it is important to run.

But now Li Zhun has been repeatedly persuaded by Li Ru to confess one thing.

In troubled times, taking the initiative to retreat will not end well.

Li Zhun couldn’t retreat. Behind him was an abyss. A step back would be death, and he died miserably.

Only facing Cao Cao’s soldiers and horses, Li Yu knew that it was very difficult for him to win.

Even if Cao Cao’s nominal military horses are not even as many as his own.

However, Cao Cao had many good advisers, and Li Zhi himself is now a traitor, and Li Ru, the only adviser, has also disappeared.

Li Zhun must figure out his own solution.

Li Zhun has never felt as sober as he is now.

Something must be thought of.

Looking at the bleak scenery outside the city, with the cold wind blowing in the lingering wind, under the setting sun in Chang’an, Li Cui seemed to have been opened up to the second line of Ren Du, his mind was clear, and he suddenly thought of what Li Ru once said to himself. .

Outside the city of Chang’an, there has always been a saying that the so-called eight waters around Chang’an.

There are many water systems.

The trenches and soil walls in the east of the city are very fragile and can easily be destroyed by the enemy.

Li Zhun naturally knew how strong the ice walls were in the days when the dripping water became ice, and it was not comparable to ordinary earth walls to destroy them.

Before time was too tight and manpower was limited. The gully created by Li Zhun’s hands was no more than one person deep and three feet wide, and the earth wall was only one person high and more than one foot wide.

Lifting water and spraying walls consumes much less manpower than digging trenches and walls.

Digging trenches can be completed in a few days, so taking water to pour walls can naturally be faster.

The weather is right now, and you can still get running water during the day, so you don’t need to light a fire.

After the afternoon, the water will condense 593 into ice when it hits the wall.


Li Zhun’s eyes flickered. Before, I just heard Li Ru mention it casually. Now I think this method might really work.

Soon Li Zhun ordered his sergeants to wait until the evening when Cao Jun retreated and start to fetch water from the nearby Qinghe.

When it was night, under the cover of night, countless sergeants carried wooden barrels and poured water on the soil wall.

A lot of water was still spilled on the gully and the ground.

One night passed, and when Cao Jun pushed forward again and was about to continue demolishing the wall, he suddenly found that the soil wall in front of him had become a piece of white blossoms.

I don’t know when thick ice crusts formed on it.

A lot of water has also permeated the inside of the earth wall.

When the soldiers demolished the wall again, they found that it was originally loose and collapsed, and within a few strokes, the excavated soil wall became hard as a stone.

The tools in the soldier’s hand no longer work, and it takes half a day to break through an ordinary earthen wall.
