In order to find throwing objects for the catapult, Liu Tie dismantled everything that could be dismantled and threw away everything in the city.
The escort's dormitory and the urn tower on the city wall were all demolished, and the escort and the female soldiers now live in tents.
How can a thin layer of tent cloth block the cold wind?
The female soldiers could only squeeze together as much as possible and use each other's body temperature to keep warm.
As a result, when Jin Feng came, he woke up the dreamer with a word.
Yuguan City is close to the sea and there is no shortage of underground water. There are wells everywhere in the city, including several under the city wall.
The weather is already very cold at this time, and people will freeze into ice lumps after a while, let alone water.
Bring a bucket of water and put it on the open ground, and it will freeze into large ice cubes in half an hour at most.
Leaving the inexhaustible ice cubes unused, but working hard to demolish the house...
When he thought of this, Liu Tie wanted to beat himself to death.
"Sir, I...I didn't expect this..."
Liu Tie answered hesitantly.
Before I finished speaking, my face was as red as a monkey's butt.
Mr. Tian, who was standing behind Liu Tie, was so ashamed that he covered his face with his sleeves.
Liu Tie was a martial artist with a crude nature, and it was understandable that he couldn't think of a solution. However, he was a scholar and Liu Tie's military advisor, and his duty was to give Liu Tie advice.
He didn't even think of such a simple solution, which can definitely be said to be dereliction of duty!
Jin Feng looked at the two of them and was speechless.
When he learned that the escorts were demolishing houses and throwing bricks, Jin Feng thought that the well water had also frozen and they could not get water. Who knew it was because they did not expect this.
In fact, not only Liu Tie and Mr. Tian, but also Meng Tianhai, Qing Mulan and Zuo Feifei did not expect it, otherwise they would not have brought people to help Liu Tie move the body.
Now listening to Jin Feng teaching Liu Tie, their faces felt hot.
"You, you really need to learn to use your brain more in the future!"
Jin Feng almost laughed at Liu Tieqi: "On the battlefield, you must learn to use all available power! For example, even if the well water freezes, you can also find a way to get water from the sea!"
"That's what you taught me, sir!"
Liu Tie was a bachelor, so he knew he was wrong, so he didn't say anything, but admitted his mistake very openly, and then arranged for someone to get water as soon as possible.
But at this time, Liu Tie was embarrassed to find that they had thrown out a lot of buckets in the city before, and after bringing the water up, there were not enough buckets to fill it.
But after being trained, Liu Tie finally learned to use his brain.
Just like paddy fields, he asked people to surround the open space with soil to form a field bank.
Just pump the well water into the pool and wait for it to freeze.
Soon, small pools appeared in Yuguan City.
To the north, the Eastern Barbarians also discovered Liu Tie collecting corpses and immediately reported it to Shan Yu.
The Eastern Barbarians did not know how many people died before the city wall was leveled. After learning the news, Shanyu's first thought was to stop Liu Tie, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
Because he thought of the muskets of the female workers.
Those sticks were really scary. Once they sprayed fire, several people in front of them were gone.
Until we find a way to deal with the fire-breathing sticks, sending people to Yuguan City is a recipe for death.
But if we don't send people to harass us, are we just going to watch the bodyguards evacuate the bodies?
For a time, Shanyu was caught in a dilemma.
Just as he was worrying about how to solve the problem, his subordinates came over and reported that the female workers had stopped after cleaning up the corpses that were high above the city wall.
When Shanyu heard the news, he breathed a sigh of relief at first, then frowned again.
The female worker clearly had the opportunity to collect the corpses, so why did she stop?
There is only one answer! That is that the female workers are confident that they can deal with their siege!
Shanyu of the Eastern Barbarians once studied Jin Feng's experience and knew that Jin Feng never fought an uncertain battle.
In addition to the fire-breathing stick, Jin Feng must have prepared other back-ups.
Thinking of this, Shanyu felt even more uncomfortable.
If Liu Tie were told what Shan Yu was thinking now, he would definitely laugh out loud.
The reason why the female workers stopped was because Jin Feng knew that the female workers were running out of ammunition and was worried that continuing to collect corpses would drive the Eastern Barbarians to jump over the wall, so he immediately launched an offensive.
As a result, the Eastern Barbarian Chanyu was frightened.
Many times, the battle is about the psychological quality of the commanders on both sides.
In fact, Jin Feng really didn't prepare any other weapons besides muskets this time.
Before attacking the Jin-Barbarian coalition, Zuo Feifei asked Jin Feng for instructions whether to expose his muskets now.
Because the weapon is most effective when used for the first time, she wanted to keep the musket and then choose a suitable moment to deliver a fatal blow to the Eastern Barbarians.
Jin Feng naturally understood this truth, but after careful consideration, he still rejected Zuo Feifei's proposal.
Rather than dealing a fatal blow to the enemy, Jin Feng hopes to reduce his own casualties.
Even if the musket is exposed in advance, Jin Feng is confident that he can repel the enemy.
Who would have thought that this accident would frighten the Shanyu of the Eastern Barbarians.
Jin Feng didn't think much about it. He was watching the hammer light up the smoke.
More than ten miles away, Zhenyuan No. 2 has been parked quietly on the sea for several days.
From the first day, the captain ordered people to keep an eye on the northwest 24 hours a day, firstly to prevent the enemy from approaching, and secondly, to wait for Jin Feng's signal.
"Captain, come and see, there is smoke!"
On the deck, an escort shouted excitedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the captain rushed out of the cabin and looked to the northwest.
A dozen miles away, there was indeed a column of smoke curling up.
After waiting for several days, the captain finally got the news. He quickly took out his telescope and pointed it in the direction of the smoke column.
After a while, two fireworks appeared next to the smoke column, one gold and one red.
The captain quickly took out the envelope from his arms.
In fact, the captain had already memorized the three letters Jin Feng gave him by heart, but he still did not dare to be careless. He confirmed it again before confidently shouting: "Weigh anchor and implement plan No. 2!"
"yes!"
The sailor agreed, turned the winch, and lifted the heavy anchor up.
In the cabin, the boilermaker also started the steam engine.
A burst of black smoke came out of the chimney, and Zhenyuan No. 2 began to move slowly.
But it did not head towards Yuguan City in the northwest, but headed due east.
In the Dongman camp, Shan Yu also looked up at the smoke and the fireworks that had just dissipated.
He knew that this was Jin Feng sending a signal to the outside world, but Shan Yu could not guess what it meant, so he could only let people continue to keep an eye on Yuguan City.
To prevent the enemy from seeing the black smoke and steam, the Zhenyuan No. 2 drove eastward for dozens of miles, then turned north and circled from the east to the north of the Dongman raft group, twenty miles away.
Then Zhenyuan 2 stopped on the sea again and lowered the speedboat hanging outside.
Under normal circumstances, both Zhenyuan 2 and Zhenyuan 1 are equipped with four speedboats, but this time, in order to prevent accidents, Jin Feng equipped Zhenyuan 2 with two more speedboats.
It was dawn at this time. After the speedboat was put down, it did not start the steam engine, but hung up the sail and sailed quietly to the southern sea.
