Yu Qiuping was standing on the corridor on the third floor of Tianshou Pavilion, watching the busy skulls in the city. Now the second rotation is underway, twenty skulls are carrying large pieces of stone and wood, either transporting them in small carts, or carrying them directly on their backs. The houses south of Tianshou Pavilion are now in a mess, and the skulls are constantly hitting the intact walls with hammers or sticks, ripping up dust. Amano Jingde stood on the front line, not avoiding the dust coming from his face, and arranged the rotation work in an orderly manner. The personal guards took action to help carry the heavy skulls and led the transportation team.

"What number are you? No. 31! Don't stand here," the personal guard greeted the stupid foot, "Go, go to the north city to repair the city wall!"

"Which number is you? No. 92?" The personal guards quickly pushed the man back, "Don't run around, follow the command of Lord Amano."

"What number are you?..."

...

At the north gate, the repair work was in full swing. Several simple scaffoldings were built. Some of the sledges were busy clearing the collapsed walls, while the other began to build the walls in the new part. Raw materials were being transported continuously, and there would be no shortage of raw materials. In the originally collapsed city walls, there were also some intact parts that could be used to fill. Progress in each part

At this moment, Charlie was following Yu Qiuping's orders, taking ten archers to guard the city walls. The Oda family horse cavalry in the distance were wandering far away, without any intention of getting close to harassing.

"You said, will the Oda family come up to interfere with us?" Yu Qiuhei asked Omaezaki Nakahide.

"Hehe, sir," said Mimaezaki Nakahide smiled, "I dare to promise that they must be mocking us for trying to repair the Kita Castle now. If it weren't for the adult's arrangement, I think we would have to repair it in a day. Hehe, I really want to see the expression on their faces when they saw us finish repairing hahaha..."

The official road connecting Ohara and Sanhe crosses the Chili, forming a crossroads. The road in the northeast leads to the Takaka Castle, the northwest leads to the Tuoshanjian. The southwest and southeast lead to Kariya Castle and Anxiang Castle respectively. The city is located at the corner of the two roads heading northeast, southwest and southeast, and to the east of the crossroads of the Mandarin. Further to the east, there is a small piece of hilly and mountain covered with woods.

At this moment, the cavalry of the Oda family were getting off the horse and resting on the official road leading to the Tuosaki. Their temporary camp was set up on the hills beside the official road from Anxiang City to Tuosaki. Now another 50-person cavalry team has gone there to change their defenses and is responsible for the intelligence barrier. Today they only need to monitor Tuosaki until the evening before returning to Tuosaki.

"Hey! Look at those Imakawa troops!" The Maeda Taki family pointed at the Imakawa family at the north gate of the Imakawa city and chuckled, "Are they repairing the city wall?"

"Hahaha..." Maeda Takiya Nao slapped his spear to the ground, and couldn't stop laughing, "When will this be built? Has anyone ever seen it? Before the war begins, it took several days to repair the city wall?"

"Stop taking pictures, don't take pictures," Asai Masasuke choked by the dust raised, and coughed and punched Maeda Tsukiko, "I'm stupid, don't follow the crazy one."

"I guess Lord Takigawa will attack tomorrow morning, and they have not completed half of them. I guess the materials from the demolition of the house in the city are still coming. When will it be repaired?"

"Master Takigawa doesn't even need to bring siege equipment, you can go up along the slope." Lai Long, the Beehouse, said, "The scaffolding they built, may not be too late to dismantle at that time, and just help us again hahaha..."

While a group of young men were joking behind, Hidetaka Kawajiri and Naomasa Konoha were discussing the current situation in the distance.

"Naruhai Castle has never intended to send troops. It seems that he is planning to defend the city." Hidetaka Kawajiri said, "The 4ooo auxiliary soldiers whom Lord Lin urgently mobilized have reached halfway through the mountain road. It is estimated that they will all arrive tomorrow at noon. After the lord is rectified, he will leave Sakuma to defend and will attack the entire division in person."

"Tomorrow morning, Lord Takigawa Ichii and Lord Sasa Masaji will lead the troops to come one after another. Judging from the current situation, there is no need to bring auxiliary troops and siege equipment." Naomasa Shizuka took over the conversation, "I have only started to repair the city walls. Even if I repair them at night, there will be no possibility of repairing them tomorrow morning. If they have ready-made materials and sufficient manpower, it is possible, but according to information, there are only more than 200 slaves there! There is no stone prepared at all."

Hidetaka Kawajiri and Naomasa Konomi looked at each other and smiled.

"It's been too long." Kawajiri Hidetaka sighed again, "The two days I stayed in the bucket are almost meaningless."

"Just treat it as waiting for the auxiliary soldiers to assemble." Naomasa Konoha comforted him, "Building camps and carrying armor and food will no longer consume the physical strength of the war soldiers."

"But if we had made up our minds earlier, we would have attacked Zhili on the 27th. Maybe we had already captured Anxiang City today." Hidetaka Kawajiri beat his scabbard in disappointment.

"It's not that simple. The collapse of Zhili's city wall can indeed go down in one go. Anxiang City is a major city that has been in operation for many years. How can we fight without siege equipment? Could it be that we rely on the soldiers to cut trees in the forest, build ladders, and attack again? It consumes more energy." Naomasa Katsura said, "But Zhili should have captured Zhili's city as soon as possible. They had no morale in the past two days, and there were no people on guard in the city. If it weren't for the scouts of the Imakawa family, I would have wanted our Ma Li to dismount and rush into the city, but unfortunately I couldn't make it. The lord would have sent hundreds of people to come here earlier."

"After those cavalry ran in today, they seemed to be going to boost morale." Kawajiri Hidetaka analyzed, "When he heard someone shouting loudly, the whole city cheered up and started to repair the city walls. It is probably a problem now."

"Maybe some big shot went in?" Naomasa Shizuka guessed, "It's all the blame for the two Lord Sakuma. After knocking down the Busanama, they desperately stopped the Lord from continuing to attack. They thought they should stop when they saw the opportunity, which made him unable to even attack Shiri Castle."

"No matter what, they won't break through at the hour of You, so let's go back and report. Tell Lord Takigawa that you don't need to bring siege equipment and auxiliary soldiers." Hidetaka Kawajiri said excitedly.

"The lord has built many siege ladders and watchtowers in the Tuksanjian. After Zhili City is conquered, he can also capture Anxiang City in one go." Naomasa Konomiya smiled.

"If you want me to tell me, it's better to attack Naruto City, Dagao City and Dagu City to recover the lost land." Kawajiri Hidetaka shook his head and expressed his objection, "After the lord took the Chuansanjian, he was all focused on ensuring the retreat and wanted to invade the hinterland of Sanhe."

"Who made Zhilicheng so easy to fight?" Naomasa Konomi smiled again, "A place of such an important, the harem is so simple. How can the lord bear this piece of fat? Who would be willing to chew the hard bones of Minghai City?"

At the beginning of the You hour on July 29, the sun set, and the cavalry of the Oda family in the northwest of Zhili took a look at Zhili City from afar and then got on their horses and left. Instead, the cavalry of the Tada family, which appeared in the southeast of Zhili, were cruising on the official road, forming an intelligence barrier and hindering Okazaki's side from collecting intelligence.

"Hey, if you have those 5o cavalry, don't think about breaking through." Yu Qiuping looked at the southeast and turned his attention to the North City. In the past afternoon, the work was mainly about cleaning and hoarding materials, and the repair work was not very fast. It is estimated that after the rotation, all the footworks will rush to the North City for major emergency repairs, and the project progress will be accelerated. Until now, no mistakes have occurred.

Half an hour later, the collection of stones and wood was completed, and all the foots were led by Amano Kyoto and his personal army, and rushed to the Kitan City for repair. Yu Qiuhei himself also took off his heavy armor and worked on the construction site like most of the footskirts. This move greatly improved his enthusiasm for work. The footskirts saw that their benefactors were now the life-saving benefactors, so who would not work hard?

As time went by, the sun gradually submerged into the horizon, and the slightest people set up a large number of torches on the city walls and continued to carry out emergency repairs. Although we were already very tired after working for a whole afternoon, we were already very tired. But as the project was about to be completed, no one was willing to give up. Finally, at the fourth hour of the Xu hour, the last few bricks were built and the scaffolding was demolished together.

It was dubbed by the Oda family and wanted to repair the city wall for several days. With Yu Qiuping and the efforts of the young people, the construction was completed in half a day.

However, just as the teenagers were excitedly preparing to cheer, Omaezaki Nakahide quickly stopped everyone. "When you shout like this, don't the Oda family know that we have repaired it?" He said with a wicked smile, "Will they know they will prepare when they come tomorrow!"

While slandering the insidiousness of Omaezaki Nakahide, the footmen went to the well to wash up and then went back to the barracks to sleep.

Yu Qiuping was tired for a day and could hardly open his eyes. He also planned to take a good rest in the bedroom of Tianshou Pavilion. However, he suddenly remembered something and found Amano Keidu first.

"Master Amano..." Yu Qiuhei was interrupted by Amano Keid as soon as he spoke.

"Your sir, just call Jingde." He said in a cold tone, and even if he said polite words, he still had no feelings. I don't know when the crow flew back and was parked on his shoulder.

"Okay, Jingde, I want to ask, is it possible for the Oda family to attack at night? Do you need to take turns to stay at night?" Yu Qiuping asked worriedly.

"It's impossible, sir," said Amano Keidu. "Even on the brightest night of the moon, the sporting sport still cannot see clearly, and it's difficult to run, let alone fight."

"Ah? Can't you see clearly!" Yu Qiuping said in surprise, and turned his head at the same time, "Why do I think I can see clearly?"

"Maybe adults have been eating well since childhood." Amano Keidu explained, "I can't see anything now."

"Is that true?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment. Indeed, in ancient times, when there was no large amount of vitamin intake, most people should have suffered from severe night blindness.

"Then..." Yu Qiuping asked hesitantly, "How did those night attacks be fought?"

"Night attack? Very few." Amano Keito was also a little surprised, "Why did the lord ask this?"

"This..." Yu Qiuping wanted to say that among the various novels he saw, there were always a large number of camps at night and sneak attacks at night, which seemed to have become commonplace.

"The young people at night can hardly see anything, and it is impossible to fight." Amano Kyoto explained.

"Then why not put on a torch?" Yu Qiuping was still unwilling to let all the night attacks in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms proved impossible.

"Attacking the night with a torch?" Omaezaki Nakashui who happened to pass by, laughed loudly after hearing this, "It's a good thing that supposes it! Isn't that the target? The person who illuminates the brightest with a torch must be himself!" Omaezaki Nakashui couldn't stop smiling, "As long as you see it is not your own, you will die with an arrow? Who is storming the night with a torch? Hahaha..."

Yu Qiuping was ridiculed and couldn't hold back his face. So he thrust his chest and looked very powerful, "Zu Qing Head! Why did you talk to yourZu Qing General!"

"Ah~" Mimaezaki Nakahide snorted sarcastically, "What the lord is saying is! The villain knows his mistake, so he attacks the night with a torch." After that, he ran away.

"This guy." Yu Qiuping cursed with a smile, "Then let's arrange for only a dozen people to take turns to watch."

Just as Yu Qiuping arranged a night watch and was about to go to bed, Amano Keidu grabbed him.

"Sir, there is one thing I haven't done." Amano Keidu whispered.

"What's the matter?" Yu Qiuping saw the latter's serious look, although he had always been serious.

"Please allow me to burn the castle town around Zhili City." He said coldly.

"What? Why!" Yu Qiuping suddenly lost his sleepiness, "Why burn the houses of ordinary people? It is probably almost half of their property. How can the people spend the winter after burning them?"

"No, no." Yu Qiuping shook his head decisively.

"Sir," Amano Keidu still did not retreat after seeing Yu Qiuping's face was not good. He bowed, "These towns and towns are of great help to the siege. They can repair and station here, make fires and cook, and the houses are also bunkers for defense against bows and arrows." Amano Keidu continued, "They may even demolish houses and repair the city walls to us, and demolish houses on the spot to make siege equipment, saving the trouble of rushing to the forest and also bringing us great problems in early warning."

Seeing Yu Qiuping's face loose, Amano Keidu added, "If the defenders are strong, they can't care about these things. But now we are short of troops and lack equipment, so we really can't stand it..."

"But...what should those people do?" Yu Qiuping murmured, still a little reluctant. "This house is all the savings passed down from generation to generation, and the property they cannot take away is also left here... People on the border have not had a good life in recent years, and it's like this..."

"Sir, you can burn less house, and you may have to exchange it for a little life." Amano Jingde's voice was low and even a little cruel. "Don't you understand which is more important, the property of the people or the lives of these brothers?"

Yu Qiuping was silent for a long time and finally sighed helplessly.

"I understand, please take someone to burn it." After that, he walked back to the room alone.

Lying on the tatami, soon, I heard the burning sound of flames coming from outside the city. The beating flames illuminated the sky outside the city. The scorching temperature came from outside the window.

The greedy devourer of the houses in the city of Shimashima, each house is the property that the family has accumulated for half a lifetime. And they are being swallowed by the fire they have allowed. Yu Qiuping's mind seemed to have emerged, and the people who returned to their homes were crying in front of the house they had turned into ashes.

"Am I going against myself and the ideal of alleviating the suffering of the people?" Yu Qiuping lamented. "But I must guard this city, otherwise hundreds of us will die. But is this just an excuse?"
