Chapter 1037 The First Actual Application of Xanthate Stone
Qiu Yun naturally understands that the unstable xanthate itself is very dangerous, and transporting it multiple times will undoubtedly increase the risk factor, and it is best to do it once. Thinking about it, he still resolutely said: "I will personally escort it."

Lin Silang's eyelids twitched, he stared at Qiu Yun in surprise, and lost his voice, "Ninth brother, it's too dangerous, I'm here, I can take care of anything."

"You're not a general, how can you go to the city wall, no, it's too dangerous." Qiu Yun immediately vetoed it, the city wall was in full swing, no one within a hundred steps could save their lives, how could Lin Silang take risks.

The most important thing is to be in the tunnel. If Xia Jun finds out or the tunnel collapses, people may be left inside.

If Wang Xiu found out that Lin Silang had entered, it would be a shocking event. His husband once publicly declared that Zhang Ling, Lin Silang, Gu Liang, Zhao Fei and other talents are all the top treasures of the country, and they should be used by the Forbidden Army. To measure the value of the five armies, the loss of one person is a major loss, and the court must not make fun of these people.

"I don't worry about others. No matter how hard you fight ahead, it won't hurt people like xanthate. Once something happens, it's too late to regret it!" Lin Silang never trusts others. If he can be completely stable, he doesn't have to worry, anyone can do it. Carry, but now it really doesn't work.

"You absolutely can't, I can't let you get close to the city wall." Qiu Yun's attitude was extremely firm.

"Are you so hard-hearted, watching people die constantly?" Lin Silang was a little anxious, and his eloquence was extraordinary.

The corner of Qiu Yun's mouth twitched, he stared at Lin Silang, and said in a deep voice, "I'd rather die 1 people than let you have any mistakes."

Lin Silang froze for a moment, looked at Qiu Yun in surprise, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Ninth Brother, you are so cruel."

Qiu Yun is not ruthless, he is also very conflicted in his heart, but he has to stop Lin Silang, maybe there is a brother's pity, it is more a manifestation of value, [-] soldiers killed in battle can be replenished at any time, Lin Silang is just that one, a high-level talent , is by no means something that can be cultivated overnight, he understands Wang Xiu's importance.

"Ninth brother, can you go? Do you know how to transport? When is fast, when is slow, and how to unload? No one is more familiar with xanthate than me. You can't."

Lin Silang shook his head, and then said slowly: "Then wait a little longer, and see how many people can die."

Qiu Yun bared his teeth for a while, and stared at Lin Silang's unbearable appearance, if he wanted to be violent, when did this guy turn bad? Did he learn from Zhao Fei?
"No, one-time loading, to minimize the danger."

The attack on the city wall was extremely tragic, dense crossbow arrows, raindrops of wood and artillery stones, no one can guarantee their own survival, everything depends on the arrangement of fate.

Two hundred steps to the east of the north gate, the northern part of the earth hill six hundred steps away from the city wall is the entrance to the Dizihao Tunnel.

When the Song army was besieging the city, they dug earth and built earth hills at each gate, and built watchtowers on them to observe the movement in the city, and also to check the fall of the catapult.Of course, it is also to cover up the excavation of the tunnel.

A security guard came in a hurry, handed the school talisman order at the entrance of the tunnel, and said in a deep voice, "We must arrive at the city tonight, and the medicine and stones must be transported before nightfall, so that the track can be leveled."

The general was taken aback, and said with an ugly face: "So fast, I'm afraid..."

"The order of the commander-in-chief of the capital cannot be disobeyed." Without further ado, the official Geng Shu turned around, mounted his horse and left.

The general spat dissatisfiedly, and said cursingly: "Damn, a dog, what arrogance, if you have the ability, go to the city wall by yourself."

"Taiwei, do you think it's too difficult to reply?" A craftsman accompanying the army leaned over, his face also very embarrassed.

The military order does not take their lives seriously. You must know that digging slowly can make as little noise as possible and reduce the probability of being discovered by the city. Digging with all your strength will definitely make a loud noise, which will attract the attention of the city and lock the position of the tunnel.

It is not a joke that the tunnel is locked by someone. Whether it is flooded or reverse excavated, the attacker will definitely suffer heavy losses, and even the entire army will be wiped out. No one wants to die in the tunnel.

"Hurry up, since the Shangguan has a military order, then go all out and don't worry about it so much." The general sighed, and said: "Try to be cautious."

The craftsman shook his head and sighed, turned and walked into the tunnel entrance without speaking again.

Reaching the city before nightfall is not a small project. The officials had to go all out to dig, use planks to reinforce the support, transport sand, gravel and mud, high-intensity physical labor, and thin air. In the wind, there were still faint officials being dragged out, and other people made up for it, and the progress of the excavation was significantly accelerated.

Of course, there is also the laying of wooden tracks, which is definitely a delicate job. The ground must be flattened, and even rolled and compacted, which requires extremely meticulous work.

When it was dark, the Song Army's offensive strength weakened, but it still maintained intermittent offensives. In addition to carrying out long-range weapon strikes in the city, the team-based harassment continued wave after wave, exhausting the defenders.

Sure enough, on the north side of the mound, more than a thousand steps away from Xiaoyingzhai, on a straight track, a four-wheeled vehicle was slowly pushed towards, but there were steel baffles on both sides of the vehicle, and neatly placed "square bricks" in the middle. ", Lin Silang and Qiu Yun led the way ahead.

It took half an hour for this journey of more than a thousand steps. In front of the car, there were always two people testing the smoothness of the wooden rails with their hands to avoid bumps. Finally, they reached the edge of the tunnel entrance, and Lin Shiro's clothes were soaked. .

"Okay, we've finally reached the entrance, let me in." Qiu Yun was also highly nervous, and he was frightened all the way, which made him decide not to let Lin Silang enter the tunnel.

"No, I'll escort it myself. The yellow medicine is the most dangerous when it's brought down. Don't worry if I'm not around." Lin Silang shook his head and said.

"There's no need to carry it down, the tunnel has already been dug under the city wall." Qiu Yun had a reason not to let Lin Silang in.

"No, you need to be more careful in the tunnel, and you must not be careless. I am the most professional, and neither of you can." Lin Silang retorted naturally, and made people have no reason to fight back.

The general came over, saw Qiu Yun's face was ugly, and said softly: "Don't argue, you two, the tunnel is very complicated, it's better for Mr. Lin to go."

Qiu Yun glared at the general, he wished he could slap the thieves who were just looking for trouble.

Lin Silang waved his sleeves and said decisively: "Okay, it's getting dark, hurry up."

"You can't go in." Qiu Yun almost made the last insistence.

"I am the officer in charge of the shipment of xanthophyll. I am in charge of all matters, and the general must obey unconditionally." Lin Silang was also impatient. Qiu Yun's good intentions were true, but he delayed the big event. He couldn't be at the last moment, and there was a possible danger. .
