The city started to build a city before the Qin army attacked the city.

Except for bringing all the troops in the mansion, Mrs. Han did not let go of other maids and called them all here.

What surprised Xie Li was that it was not only these that followed, but also cooking chefs and teachers.

"This old lady Han has put everyone in the mansion here..." Xie Li said silently in his heart.

In addition to being surprised, I also began to admire his high efficiency and careful consideration of his work.

After all, if there is one more person, the construction of a good city wall will take less time.

Although there are more than 20 city-building engineers here, Xie Li still has a simple understanding of the construction technology of this era. Although the process is very simple, only some pillars, wooden boards, stone pestles and ropes can be completed. However, the earth walls used in this way to build the city are extremely strong, otherwise this method would not be used to build a city wall now.

The key is that even in the modern times of my previous life, many rural areas still use this method to build their own courtyard walls.

Due to the urgent matter, after the army arrived, Xie Li transferred 70 or 80 people to the city to transport soil, and then came to the place where the outer city collapsed in the inner city. The engineers drew two parallel lines and marked the corresponding points on the line to drill pits and plant pillars so that they could make the plywood lean on.

When the rest of the troops were asked to dig holes and plant stakes, Xie Li looked at Mrs. Han and the remaining maids, scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

While weighing what they were asked to do, Mrs. Han said: "Since you are fully responsible for building walls, there is no need to be a taboo. When is it now, don't distinguish between men and women. Now that we have arrived here, we are all labor-intensive. Otherwise, if the Qin army enters the city, no matter men and women, they will die."

"Mrs. Han is very wise, and boy Xie Li is very impressed. Since this is the case, let the girls pile the transported soil between the plywood."

Xie Li bowed and said, and then joined the "dig pit" line!

Although Xie Li said it was simple just now, it was not easy for these people to build a city wall that was as strong as before in a short period of time.

Take letting them pile up soil for example. The width of the bottom two parallel lines, that is, the bottom layer of the city wall, is more than three meters, nearly four meters, and the height of the wall must be the same as before, and it is more than two meters high.

This is not a task that these maids can complete, but since they are here, it is related to their own life and death, they will do as much as they can.

At this time, more than a hundred people were carrying out wall building work in an orderly manner. First, they fixed the pillars on both sides, tilted slightly, tied the horizontal bars at the top to make them a fixed rack. Then they let the long wooden boards lean between the pillars, then filled with soil in the middle, and kept tamping them with a pestle.

The screams and howling outside the city broke the order here.

The first one to be affected was naturally the maid who was filling the soil, especially when the Qin army's scattered arrows fell beside them. The maid threw down the shovel and ran to the Zhu Mansion without thinking.

"Stop it!"

Mrs. Han was obviously really angry. This scene was naturally as expected by her. After seeing many wars, she would not take the occasional arrow feathers floating in her heart. But what she could not tolerate was that her servants were too timid. If they were all flinched and ran away like this maid, then the city wall would not be built on time!

"One more step, and you will be killed on the spot now!"

The maid stopped in the end. She was usually extremely afraid of the old lady. Seeing her so angry, she dared not disobey.

However, although the person was back, his hands were still trembling. The same was true for other servants, and the efficiency of filling soil suddenly slowed down a lot.

Mrs. Han really wanted to go over and teach her a lesson, but she also knew that many male servants who had never been to the battlefield were shaking all over, let alone these timid and timid maids.

Finally, I had to sigh helplessly, picked up the shovel and joined the ranks of filling soil.

Xie Li saw it, put down the stone pestle in his hand and walked to everyone's approach.

If so many people want to work with peace of mind, the first thing to do is to make them feel safe. Otherwise, no matter how many persuasion or threats are, it will be useless.

"Stop it for now. Please ask me if anyone here is good at it. Please come forward."

Xie Li shouted loudly.

As a private part of Zhu Xu’s mansion, Xie Li believes that there should be many good players among them.

Sure enough, after Xie Li finished speaking, four or five people walked up and clasped their fists and said, "We are okay in the mansion, what are the instructions?"

"I dare not take the order, but I just want you to guard some of it. I don't know if I can see another wandering arrow flying in outside the city and send it away?"

Xie Li's voice was still quite loud at this time, and he wanted to ensure that everyone here could hear it.

Moreover, in his opinion, this is the northwest corner of the city, and there are not many slit arrows shot here. In addition, although it is not too far away from outside the city, it is at least a distance. When the arrows arrive here, there is no force, so it should not be difficult for them to block them with a sword.

Sure enough, after Xie Li finished speaking, the people on the other side said it was easy.

Then when everyone saw that one of the plots randomly blocked a ravine, they also breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease.

Xie Li took off his shirt again, pulled out the dagger from his waist, cut it into small pieces, and distributed it to many maids and servants, and then continued: "The shouting outside the city is too disturbing, and it is a pity to not listen to it, so if you need it, just cover your ears."

I can't hear the screams or see the flowing arrows.

Now they should be able to work hard.

Everything was back on track. After the emergencies just now, everyone accelerated the speed of building walls. After all, it was possible to get farther away from this dangerous area as soon as possible after completion.

Although they are not very panic now, it does not mean that they are not thinking about this.

Therefore, for the quality of the city wall, Xie Li temporarily acted as an engineering supervisor with a few engineers.

Mrs. Han looked at Xie Li, who was checking the density of the earthen walls, and couldn't help but think: No wonder my son Zhu Xu wanted to let this son be fully responsible for the wall building. Some clues could be seen from the moment he could easily let those maids build the walls in such a situation, which shows his ability.
