The construction of the city wall soon began again.
This time is no different from the last time. The formwork is fixed first, and then small and large stones are placed in it. Finally, some cast steel bars are inserted as connectors in various directions, and concrete is poured for pouring.
Because the most indispensable thing on the construction site at this time was manpower, the work went extremely smoothly. In the end, all the work was completed in less than an hour.
And then, there was another long wait.
Although waiting is excruciating, when pouring concrete, you must wait for it to completely solidify before construction can continue.
The total height of the city wall is six meters, with each pouring at most one and a half meters, and the fastest time for the concrete to fully solidify is eight hours.
In other words, the fastest it will take is thirty-two hours, minus the 1.5-meter foundation that was poured yesterday. In other words, there are still twenty-four hours before the city wall is fully usable.
I just don’t know whether I finished building the city wall first or whether the Khitans got there first.
That night, it was ugly time, east of Kunyang City.
An endless stream of war horses in the dark night came from afar with the sound of low hooves.
At this time, both the war horses and the soldiers on the war horses looked extremely tired.
This huge Khitan army of 8,000 people traveled through the night and night, running for more than 120 kilometers, and finally arrived in front of this small border town of the Wei Dynasty in the fastest possible time.
Yeluzhe first put on armor and lined up in front of the huge horse formation, and then rode up to a nearby hillside with several of his own soldiers.
This is a commanding height nearby. When you climb to the top of the slope, you can have a panoramic view of Kunyang City.
Yelu Zhe had looked at this border city of the Wei Dynasty here several times, and led his troops to fight here several times.
He even had a chance to enter the city, but was quickly repelled by the Wei army. That was the closest he came to taking over the city.
But this time, Yeluzhe felt that he would be able to completely uproot the city that was stuck in the Khitan's throat.
He had already received the news. For unknown reasons, the Wei Dynasty had reduced the garrison here from five thousand households to only one. Even this news was passed on by the Wei Dynasty.
At first, Yeluzhe had questioned the authenticity of this information. It was not until he sent spies several times to inquire about it that he was surprised to find that it was actually true.
The Wei people were so stupid that they left only a thousand people to guard such an important frontier city, and they even stupidly took the initiative to give the information to themselves.
In Yelu Zhe's impression, Wei people have always been cunning and cunning. He didn't understand why these Wei people suddenly became as stupid as donkeys.
But no matter what, he must not let go of such an opportunity. What's more, there is also a greater help coming. At such a critical moment, Kunyang's city wall actually fell down.
This was indeed an opportunity at the right time and place. Yeluzhe even believed that he could easily break through Kunyang without any extra effort.
At that time, he will completely wipe this city from the world, and the gold, silver, jewelry, and women in the city will all be his own.
Kunyang City in the dark night stretches across the land like a huge monster. It doesn't emit the slightest light, and you can only vaguely feel its presence.
Yelu Zhexian suddenly spoke slowly and said to the soldiers beside him: "Order everyone to cook on the spot and rest to recharge their batteries. We will level Kunyang City early tomorrow morning!"
The soldiers took the order and then rode away.
On the other side, Kunyang City.
Standing on the city wall, looking at the continuous firelight coming from the east, Qi Rusong's face was as iron as steel.
Although there were huge hills blocking the way, he knew that the number of people facing such a large bonfire would never be less than five thousand.
One thousand versus five thousand, even though it was a city defense battle, Qi Rusong still felt a little unsure.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think to himself: I don't know whether the new weapon mentioned by His Highness King Yong can play a decisive role as he said...
The night passed quickly. Yeluzhe in the tent felt that he had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by a panicked sound.
"The leader is in trouble, the leader is in trouble!"
Yelu Zhe suddenly rolled up from the woolen felt, subconsciously grabbed the waist knife and was about to chop it off. Only when he saw clearly that the person coming was his own relative did he relax a little.
"What's wrong? You're so flustered, you scared me!"
The follower looked at Mr. Yelu Zhe's gleaming scimitar, and his legs were trembling a little. It took him a while to remember what he was doing, and he quickly said: "It's not good, chief, just now the spies came to report, saying that the Wei people The city wall has been repaired!"
"What?" Yeluzhe was shocked at first, and then shook his head violently, "How is it possible? The Wei people built a city wall slower than a cow giving birth to a calf, and they collapsed seven or eight feet of the city wall. How is it possible? Fixed overnight?”
The follower was obviously at a loss, and just shook his head dully, not knowing how to answer the leader's words.
Yeluzhe snorted first and pushed the follower away. After quickly walking out of the tent, he got on his horse and headed towards the hillside where he was last night.
Soon, he reached the top of the slope and then looked towards the direction of Kunyang City.
Just by looking at it, Yelu Zhe was suddenly startled and his eyes were a little dazed, because he suddenly discovered that the walls of Kunyang City were intact.
No, it is not intact, but it has been repaired, because the repairs are very obvious from the original khaki city wall.
"This...how is this possible?" Yelu Zhexian suddenly said to someone nearby, "Go and bring me those spies from before!"
The protégé rode away on horseback, and after a moment he drove four people who were tied up and came back.
"Let me ask you, are you sure that when you saw it before, the city wall collapsed and the Wei people had not repaired it?" Pointing to the city wall in the distance, Yeluzhe waved his riding whip and asked.
Obviously, when they saw the repaired city wall, the faces of the several scouts were full of horror, but they still nodded extremely firmly and said: "Chief, it's absolutely true. When we saw this city wall before, It is indeed still collapsed and unrepaired. What were the Wei people talking about up there at that time... I am willing to guarantee it with my life!"
Hearing this, Yeluzhe became even more confused.
Obviously these scouts didn't have the guts to deceive themselves, so how did these Wei people manage to repair the city wall in just two or three days?
At this moment, a young leader suddenly rode up to Yelu Zhexian and asked in a low voice: "Chief, are we going to attack the city next?"
Yeluzhe pondered for a moment at first, then burst out laughing arrogantly, waving his riding crop and pointing at Kunyang City, laughing: "Hahaha, this is obviously a trick of the Wei people. Do you really believe it?"
