Chapter 39 Cliff Block 2
Zhang Zhentian and Yao Xiu took their soldiers back 50 or 60 meters, and then found a relatively safe place to settle down. And on the other side of the cliff, there is no movement yet. It seems that the gopher is still working hard. The matter of digging a cliff is simple, but it is actually a heavy project. And there is only one escape rat, and you can't help it even if you are in a hurry.
The next day, Zhang Zhen got up early and came outside the camp. When the soldiers guarding the camp saw him coming out, they quickly saluted, "Mr. Zhang! Did you get up so early?
"Yes!" Zhang Zhentian nodded, "Is there any movement on the cliff?" Obviously, he has something on his mind and can't sleep.
"No!" The soldier replied, "Miss Yao Xiu has just gone there to have a look."
"Is it?" Zhang Zhentian looked at the soldier in consternation, and then he walked over to the direction of the cliff. In front of the cliff, he saw Yao Xiu, "How early did you get up today? Why don't you sleep more?"
"I can't sleep!" Yao Xiu shook her head, and then she pointed to the cave in front of her, "Brother Zhang, look! This little mouse is digging very hard. It is estimated that it will be difficult to complete in a half an hour.
"Yes! This cliff is not small, and it is still a hard stone. After listening, Zhang Zhentian also squatted down and looked at the cave in front of him. These caves that were beaten so well overnight that the caves were several feet deep and neatly arranged in a row. And the gopher is now working in a cave in front of Yao Xiu. Because there is obvious smoke and dust coming out of this cave.
"It seems that it will take at least five or six days to destroy this cliff." Zhang Zhentian estimated the workload of the gopher, "It's just that we can't wait for so long." He is right! Who knows how many troops the orcs will gather in the camp in five days?
"Brother Zhang, it seems that we have to think of other ways!" Yao Xiu looked at the hole that was emitting smoke and said to Zhang Zhentian in a low voice, "If it were this way, I guess the little mouse would be exhausted."
After listening to Yao Xiu's words, Zhang Zhentian looked around. Although the protruding part of this cliff extends forward from the ridge, the terrain does not tilt down. If trees and boulders are collected from the ridge and placed on the protrusion of the cliff, it must be bearable.
When Zhang Zhentian thought of this, he squatted down and gently called out the escape rat. Then, he whispered to the gopher again. The gopher squeaked for a while, and then got back into the ground. Let's go! Xiuer. When Zhang Zhentian saw that the escape rat returned to the ground, he gently picked up Yao Xiu and said, "Go back and have a good rest!" I have a way to make this cliff fall quickly.
"Is it?" Yao Xiu, with the help of Zhang Zhentian, stood up suspiciously. She blinked at Zhang Zhentian and asked, "Brother Zhang, what can you do?"
"Well!" Zhang Zhentian turned around and pointed to the dense forests and boulders on the mountain. "Let the soldiers take them all down and move them up the cliff. The weight in front is heavy, and it will naturally press the break to make it crack faster.
"Good idea!" Yao Xiu said, "Then I'll carry stones and wood with you!" Then, she grabbed Zhang Zhentian's arm with both hands and begged in a low voice.
"No need!" Zhang Zhentian shook his head with a smile, "Your health is good. Don't get tired anymore. That's it! You are in charge of vigilance! Physical work, it's up to me and the soldiers!" After Zhang Zhentian finished speaking, he took Yao Xiu's hand and wanted to walk to the camp. Yao Xiu slightly followed Zhang Zhentian. It's not that she can't walk so fast, but that her hand is pulled by Zhang Zhentian, and she is always a little shy.
Nothing for a day. Under the command of Zhang Zhentian, the soldiers collected a large number of trees and stones and transported them to the top of the cliff, and the orcs under the cliff were still moving forward in an orderly manner. They didn't find anything wrong on the cliff. It's not that the orcs have no mood and don't know how to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains. Instead, there are too many protruding cliffs on this road, and the rocks on the ground are really mixed. They really don't have that leisure and elegance.
In the evening, Zhang Zhentian ordered his soldiers to go back to the camp to rest. Carrying stones and trees on the mountain at night, if you don't light a fire, you are prone to accidents; if you light a torch, you will definitely be found by the orcs. Therefore, there is no need for Zhang Zhentian to take this risk at all.
After Zhang Zhentian and Yao Xiu returned to the camp, they squatted again near the cave hit by the gopher to inspect the crack of the cliff. Sure enough, after suffering a large number of heavy objects, there were also cracks in the caves that were not hit by the escape gophers. It seems that the protrusion of the whole cliff has become very unsafe.
"I guess if I work one more day tomorrow, this cliff will almost fall." Zhang Zhentian looked at the situation of the cliff and said to Yao Xiu at ease.
"This time it's a tired little mouse." Yao Xiu nodded, and then she found a clean place to sit down nearby. "Brother Zhang, how did your little mouse come here?"
"Oh, someone else gave it." Zhang Zhentian also sat down beside her. "Its owner was originally Julong, but later, by chance, we met. He gave it to me."
"Is it?" Yao Xiu nodded after hearing this, "If only there was another little mouse like this!" I want one, too." It turns out that both the original women and the women of human beings on earth are interested in these small animals.
"Alas! I haven't contacted Elder Julong for a long time. A trace of smoke floated in the hole in front of Zhang Zhentian and said slowly, "The last contact with him was a few months ago. Originally, I thought it was an easy job to escort Fang Kun to Yanyun, but I didn't want to encounter so many troubles.
"Yes?" Yao Xiu listened to Zhang Zhentian's words and looked at Zhang Zhentian with a conster, "Is the most troublesome thing to meet me?"
"Ha ha, no!" Zhang Zhentian smiled and then quickly retorted, "I didn't say you! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have suffered the bumpy journey.
"Hmm! Why do I sound like I'm blaming me?" Yao Xiu listened and continued to ask questions.
"None!" Zhang Zhentian had to repeat, "Don't worry! I'm so happy to meet you."
"Is it?" Yao Xiu's face immediately eased. As long as a woman likes to listen to the flattery of her beloved man, whether he is sincere or hypocritical.
"All right! Tell the gopher to come out!" Zhang Zhentian took Yao Xiu's hand and stood up, "I'll teach you how to call it." After saying that, he told Yao Xiu the formula of Summoning the Gopher that Julong taught him. And Yao Xiu is not stupid. Only this time, she has to remember it firmly.
The hamster heard the sound of summoning and knew that it could stop working and go back to rest. Naturally, it was too happy to come out of the cave. Then he jumped back to Zhang Zhentian's arms to sleep. Yao Xiu was a little jealous, but she didn't say much. After all, the gopher is Zhang Zhentian, and it will not be easily close to itself. Immediately, the two returned to the camp together. But the orcs at the foot of the mountain are still marching.
The next morning, Zhang Zhentian arranged for his soldiers to carry trees and boulders on the cliff for another day. In the evening, when the soldiers finished work, he released the hamster and let it go underground to continue to make holes. Zhang Zhentian did this very well. He was afraid that when he fell down the cliff, he would take the soldiers carrying stones and trees down the mountain together.
After nightfall, the orc soldiers continued to march with torches on the path. Only the soldiers passing by the cliff that night heard a slight click. However, they did not find the source of the sound. In fact, no one is looking for the source of the sound. Because they are all concerned about the road under their feet and have no time to estimate the situation on their heads.
At midnight, an orc soldier passing under the cliff was hit in the head by a stone falling from the cliff. Although the stone just rubbed the soldier's head and broke a piece of skin, it also made him shout. However, the orc soldiers lit up the vicinity with torches for a while, and they did not find traces of original people on the cliff. Finally, I decided to be on the left. Then he followed the back of the team and wanted to move forward together.
About an hour later, the gopher slipped back to Zhang Zhentian's tent. It gently woke up Zhang Zhentian, and then got into his snakeskin pocket to sleep. After that, there was a loud noise in the direction of the cliff! Needless to ask, the cliff was finally dug down by the gopher and planted under the cliff.
