The city walls at this time were not the commonly used brick walls in later generations, and they were basically dirt cities.

Even a military city like Xiangyang is no exception.

Although brick making technology was already in place during the Warring States Period, there was no use to build cities, and there was not even building houses. The bricks and stones were only used to lay the ground and tombs.

On the other hand, the rammed earth slab construction technology of this Tucheng was already very proficient at this time and consumed less manpower and material resources, so this method is basically used now.

As for the Tongwan City, which Helian Bobo has built more than 30 years later in history, is not discussed because it is a strange city.

This kind of earthen city wall is trapezoidal and generally not high. Compared with the tall brick city in the Ming Dynasty, it is really shabby.

Xiangyang City is a typical representative of this kind of earthen city.

A few days ago, although the fierce attacks of the Qin army caused many damage to the city walls, they were more than thick, so there was no big threat.

However, this heavy rain is too heavy.

Xie Li looked at the walls below that had been washed away by several collapsed walls and couldn't speak for a moment.

He thought to himself: Fortunately, the city wall is trapezoidal and wide enough, otherwise, judging from the collapsed area, this section of the city wall would have been unable to be protected.

The city guard's attention was generally on the Qin army opposite, and it was understandable that the situation under the wall was not discovered.

Xie Li quietly called Feng Sheng and signaled him to see the scene under the city.

Even though Feng Sheng is steady and down-to-earth in daily life, he is now in panic and at a loss, and sweat is already visible on his forehead.

Xie Li approached Feng Sheng and whispered: "Feng Guzheng, this is a big deal, so I'd better report to the General of the Central Army first, otherwise..."

Feng Sheng looked at Xie Li gratefully, held Xie Li with both hands, not knowing what to say, and finally sighed and rushed to the North City Tower between the city walls.

Zhu Xu should be there at this time.

Xie Li turned around and continued to test the statistics as if nothing had happened.

The guards at the door naturally knew Feng Sheng. Seeing that he looked anxious and very anxious, he went to report.

Before entering the door, Feng Sheng heard Zhu Xuxian say, "Captain Feng, why are you so anxious? As far as I know, today's Qin army has not even crossed the river, let alone attacking the city."

"The General of the Central Army misunderstood!" Feng Sheng clasped his fists and said, "It was not the Qin army's attack on the city. Something big happened on the city wall. I came to report it to the General of the Central Army."

"Well? What's the big deal? Could it be that the soldiers fought each other for trivial matters?" Zhu Xu raised his head, looking puzzled, thinking that such things often occur. If you defend the city for a long time, the soldiers are often depressed. It is reasonable to occasionally fight and vent their emotions. As long as you don't need a sword, it doesn't matter.

"The General of the Central Army will follow me to the city wall and you will know it."

"Hmm?" Zhu Xu was dissatisfied and thought that although you had just been promoted to the team, can't such a small matter be solved by yourself? He simply said bluntly: "If you have something, just say it, why do you make it mysterious!"

"It's not because my subordinates are doing something mysterious, but because this matter is so big, hey, this city wall is in danger."

There are only Zhu Xu and Feng Sheng in the building room, so Feng Sheng is not afraid of panic caused by saying it.

Zhu Xu was still puzzled, but he looked at Feng Sheng's expression and was extremely cautious, so he had to let him lead the way and walked out.

Following Feng Sheng to the place just now, several soldiers were talking and laughing. Today, seeing that the Qin army had no intention of siege or movement, the soldiers guarding the city were in a good mood.

There is also the clerk Xie Li, who was just appointed yesterday, who is counting the number of arrows.

Everything looks orderly.

Seeing himself coming, several people stopped talking, all of them holding their fists and saluting.

Xie Li, who had talked to him yesterday, was also here, and he bowed his hand and continued his task, just looking at his expression, as if he was worried.

Zhu Xu waved his hand to signal, then looked at Feng Sheng, with doubts and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Feng Sheng still had that look and did not say much. He walked directly to the bush of arrows, pointed to the city and said, "The General of the Central Army will know at a glance."

After all, Zhu Xu was knowledgeable. After seeing the position of Feng Sheng’s pointing, he vaguely guessed what he pointed to according to his words.

But I couldn't believe it in my heart, and I could only hope that what Feng Sheng pointed to was different from the guess in my heart.

He slowly walked closer and Zhu Xu leaned over and looked down. After a moment, his body stiffened and he lost his mind in an instant.

Fortunately, Zhu Xu has experienced many battles and still has this concentration.

He turned around slowly and looked at the city guards who were wondering about watching in the distance. He knew that he could not keep the fire, so he whispered to Feng Sheng: "Constrain the soldiers under his command and let them keep their mouths closed. If the people in the city know, don't want your head!"

Although the sound is small, it reveals a chill.

Feng Sheng naturally knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded to obey the order.

After Zhu Xu finished giving orders, he was about to go back to the city to make arrangements, but he happened to be "working" not far away. He saw him with a side face and a serious expression on the pile of arrows, as if he had no interest in his own affairs, which was completely different from the soldiers watching.

After thinking about it, Zhu Xu seemed to understand something. He then ordered: "Xie Li, how about the record today? Come and follow me to the city tower to report."

Xie Li turned his head and saw that Zhu Xu's eyes seemed to have a different meaning, so he bowed and said, "Yes, General of the Central Army."

The two of them came to the city tower. Before Zhu Xu could sit down, they said directly: "Do you know about this?"

Xie Li had seen his guess just now, and did not pretend to be stupid, so he said bluntly: "After Team Feng was looking at the city wall and came to find General Zhonglang, Xie Li was curious and looked at it quietly."

Zhu Xu waved his hand: "I know that although you are young, you are also a smart and intelligent person. Don't talk about those little thoughts. I, Zhu Xu, are not a person with a narrow mind. Especially at this time, solving the problem is the key."

"What the General of the Central Army said is that Xie Li was also thinking about this after seeing it."

"Oh? But what are your thoughts?"

Zhu Xu had completely calmed down. He naturally knew that the more dangerous the moment, the more he had to deal with it. If he acted anxiously, it would not only be useless, but it would be more likely to backfire.

"Xie Li thought that the Qin army's reaction was the strangest."

"Continue talking."

"The outer wall collapsed, and it is not easy for the soldiers on the city to discover it. However, after the heavy rain in the past two days, the sky was clear and the sight was good. It was impossible for the Qin army on the opposite side to not discover it."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said slowly: "That's true. Although this northern city wall is the place with the most guards in Xiangyang, for the Qin army, such a good opportunity cannot be without any action. Moreover, there are famous generals like Murong Chui in the Qin army formation. Now this reaction is really unusual."
