Chapter 20 The Best Defense
The next day, the morning light was dim.

Just as the rooster outside the window raised its neck, Su Yao opened his eyes on time.

After looking at the clothes that were updated automatically and the breakfast on the table, he cleaned it up in twos and twos.

Yesterday, the Wang family promised to provide free supplies while his team was stationed. In order not to destroy the BUFF of sharing weal and woe, Su Yao specifically asked the Wang family not to pay special attention to him during this war period.

After finishing breakfast and packing up, and checking the status again, Su Yao rushed out of the door to start today's happy hacking time.

However, it does not.

The moment he rushed out of the door, he bumped into Zhang Yang.

Hearing Zhang Yang's ouch, he took two steps back before he stabilized his figure and didn't make a fool of himself. I think he was also a figure who dominated Bingzhou with his bravery. Could it be that he is really old now?

No, he hasn't reached his forties yet:
"Brother, be steady, be steady."

As he spoke, he looked at the young man in front of him, and then he realized that this was the first time he saw this boy tidy up. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a heroic and extraordinary young man.

He is over eight feet tall, with delicate features and eyes like bright stars. He is no less impressive than Fengxian in the past.

What a good boy. With his face and tall figure, he only needs to stand quietly in the crowd to attract the admiration and attention of countless young girls.

It's a pity that this guy is neither quiet nor able to stand still. His only praise is that he has a good heart.

"Does Mr. Zhang have any missions to issue? Are there any difficulties? Do you know anyone here who needs help?"

Su Yao was talking about asking for tasks, pushing Zhang Yang out of the door without looking at him, and kept scanning the situation in Wu Bao downstairs, looking for new plots and tasks.

"My dear brother, wait a moment."

Zhang Yang held Su Yao's shoulders and forced him to stop:

"Brother, you are now an officer of my big man, not a ranger. It is good to help others, but everything must be prioritized."

"."

After Su Yao blinked and was forced to go through a boring plot, he finally got some valuable information.

It turns out that Zhang Yang came to say goodbye!
"Fengxian's injury is stable, and Cheng Lian should be back soon. Brother Yu can't leave the men in the forest alone.

Since you are on good terms with the Wang family, you will take care of this place. Don't go out until the barbarians retreat. Just guard this place. If there is any urgent military situation, come to the camp to report to me on flying horses. "

"Wait, why don't we take action?"

Su Yao was shocked.

He thought that with yesterday's intelligence, Zhang Yang would launch a mission to exterminate the Huns today. If not, he should launch some reward missions.

Why are you staying at home and waiting?

The mission deadline will expire in a few days, and the BOSS hasn't been killed yet. Is this okay?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang actually gave him a task of not taking action.

"The Hu people will not attack the walled city this time, but relying on a small force to harass them is untenable in Jinzhong. As long as we defend them, they will naturally retreat."

“It’s understandable for young uncle to seek stability.”

Lying on the bed, Lu Bu unconsciously reached out and touched his bandaged neck.

It cannot be denied that in the past two days, he has indeed been thinking about the scene when he meets this boy again in his mind from time to time.

But no matter which one it is, it will not be like this.

——Su Yao looked indifferent and completely ignored the previous conflicts and battles between the two, and just came to tell him in a very ordinary way that he wanted to go out to fight...

"Although your attack has brought them a lot of losses and achieved great results, have you ever thought about how the other side will react if you cause such a big fuss? After all, there is a Thousand Cavalry Team here, and there is no guarantee that others will The barbarians in the area will not come to support.

And we only have more than two hundred people, and they are divided into two places. If something happens, it is likely to be catastrophic. "

Lu Bu endured the sting of being ignored and pointed at this young boy, feeling a little relieved as he spoke.

No matter how strong you are individually, you can't ride a thousand horses, work in the army, march and fight, if you can win by just relying on your bravery, Lu Bu would have been made a marquis and prime minister long ago.

Hum, regardless of your vision or battlefield experience, boy, you still have a lot to learn.

"I didn't expect that the legendary Lu Fengxian would be so conservative."

Su Yao rubbed his hands
"The best defense is offense. As long as the enemies are lying in the cemetery, no one can steal my flag."

--puff
Lu Bu almost opened the wound. He rubbed his face and cursed at this strange metaphor while educating him as seriously as possible.

"Being a soldier means obeying military orders. Since Uncle Zhi has given you the task of guarding the Wang Family's Fort, you cannot disobey orders. You can have your own ideas until you can lead an army on your own in the future."

"Huh? Is this activity a city defense battle?"

"what?"

"I understand, Mr. Lu, please rest in peace. When you get down, you will strengthen the city defense and supervise the workers to work."

"."

Looking at Su Yao who opened the window and jumped out, Lu Bu was stunned for a long time and pressed his temple:

"Lu Fengxian, who did you lose to?"

Thanks to the participation of captive laborers, the renovation efficiency of Wangjia's Fort was greatly improved. Teams of workers, escorted by armed militiamen, went to the outside of the village to push carts of soil and build new walls. .

Wait, dirt?
"Is this ramming earth to build a wall?"

"My benefactor still knows the art of construction?"

At three o'clock in the morning, Wang Ling was still yawning. This was all because he was dragged out by Su Yao so early in the morning to run around. How could a child from an aristocratic family have such a routine? It was really difficult for him.

Ignoring the lazy Wang Ling, Su Yao tilted his head, looked at the high wall under repair, and pinched his chin:

"Know a little bit."

The so-called rammed earth wall construction is to use wooden sticks (also known as ramming pestles) to compact the loess with force. Wooden boards are used as molds, filled with clay or limestone, and the city wall is built layer by layer with a pestle.

The origin of this technology can be traced back to the early Yin and Shang Dynasties. By the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Great Wall and palace walls were built using this technology. Even in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial city and palace walls in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty were all rammed earth walls.

The biggest reason for this is of course that the rammed earth city wall not only has sufficient defense, but also has the defensive power to prevent enemy infantry and cavalry attacks and resist cold weapon damage in the pre-firearm era. More importantly, the rammed earth wall can be constructed with local materials and is easy to construct.

But there are also many disadvantages. For example, the sandiness and stickiness of the soil are directly related to the solidity of the earth wall. If the loess is sandy and not sticky enough, it will easily crack after drying.

For example, in the case of Wangjia Wubao, the wood tendons in the inner layer of rammed earth were irregular during manufacture, perhaps due to excessive rush to work or poor craftsmanship. As a result, they were prone to cracking or even partial collapse after heavy rain and strong winds.

As for now, the biggest problem is that even if the foundation problem is not considered, the construction period of the rammed earth wall will be about ten years. This is mainly due to the solidification cycle of the soil.

Therefore, despite the fact that the wall has been erected at this busy construction site, in fact it is just a flower stand. It may fall down if he kicks it a few times, and it cannot keep up with the siege that may come in a few days. .

"???"

As Su Yao pointed out the flaws in the wall and the areas that needed attention one by one, Wang Ling couldn't let go of his hand on his mouth. Do you understand?

"The art of construction is generally a secret that is not passed down among engineering masters. Does my benefactor have this background in his family?"
