Gu Baoyi and the generals gasped in shock at the situation in front of them, and they couldn't believe that that inconspicuous wine jar had such great power.
"Haha! How powerful is the dirt bomb I made? Gu Haotian looked at Gu Baoyi and the others proudly and asked.
"It's powerful!" Gu Baoyi thought for a long time before saying these four words.
The old miaotou and the generals also nodded.
"Huh! What if there were dozens, hundreds, thousands of earth bombs thrown on the walls? Gu Haotian asked with a smile.
Gu Baoyi and the others couldn't help but shudder when they heard this, if these wine jars were really used in battle, how terrifying the scene would be! Where is it still used to siege the city, the other party has long been blown into pulp.
"Haotian, how many of these things can you make." Gu Baoyi took a deep breath and asked.
"As long as you can find the materials I need, there are as many things as I need!" Gu Haotian said confidently.
"Good! I will send 10,000 men to you to assign, and you can build as much as you can, and the more the better! Gu Baoyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said eagerly.
"It's easy to make a dirt bomb. However, during the siege, you must not let the sergeant throw the wine jar on the castle tower! Gu Haotian asked with a smile.
Gu Baoyi and everyone were stunned when they heard this, and then they understood what Gu Haotian meant, yes! The tower is so high, how can a sergeant throw the wine jar on it! Even if he could throw it, but before he got close to the city, he was shot into a sieve by the opponent's bow and arrow, and the brows of everyone furrowed again when they thought of this.
"Hey, hey! It seems that the second young master must have a good way. The old miaotou looked at Gu Haotian with deep meaning and smiled.
When Gu Baoyi and the others heard this, they all looked at Gu Haotian, right! There must be a good way for him to ask.
"Grandpa Miao is worthy of being a scheming old fox! Yes, this son has a way of throwing earth bombs from the crossbow and throwing them on the city wall. Gu Haotian glanced at Lao Miao with appreciation, and then smiled at Gu Baoyi and the others.
"Really?" Gu Baoyi asked excitedly.
"Big brother, you immediately ask the carpenters who make the ladder to stop working immediately, and transfer them to my command and obey my dispatch." Gu Haotian said with a smile.
"Good! Mo Song, you go and arrange it right away! Gu Baoyi responded without hesitation, and then turned his head to Wu Meng and commanded.
"No!" After Mo Song glanced at Gu Haotian excitedly, he turned around and ran towards the school field.
On the school grounds, all the carpenters were summoned by Gu Haotian and asked them to stop their work and make according to the drawings they had drawn.
Gu Baoyi and the others originally wanted to observe from the sidelines to see what Gu Haotian was going to do, but they were kicked out of the school by Gu Haotian on the grounds of obstructing official business.
In the evening, when Gu Baoyi and others came to the school field, they saw more than 100 carpenters were busy in full swing, and more than 20 strange-shaped wooden cars were neatly placed on the school field.
"Haotian, what are you doing with these wooden carts? Are you going to use them to attack the city? Gu Baoyi walked closer and asked suspiciously.
"Ugh! You're here, how about taking a look at these treasures? Gu Haotian hurriedly turned around with a smile after hearing the movement.
"What are these? What does it do? ”
"Huh! This thing is called a catapult, see this wooden trough? Put a stone, earth bomb, etc., on it, and then press the stick hard, and the stone or earth bomb in the wooden trough will be thrown. Gu Haotian hurriedly explained to everyone.
The people felt the novelty,
After the explanation, Gu Haotian moved a big stone from the side and put it into the wooden trough, and then pressed the wooden stick on the other side of the wooden trough violently, and everyone saw that the end of the wooden trough was violently cocked, and the big stone in the wooden trough flew out of the situation, and flew into the woods more than 100 meters outside the school field before smashing it down.
"Ahh ...”
Gu Baoyi and the others looked at the catapult in surprise, they didn't expect this thing to be able to throw the boulder so high and so far, this thing is really a treasure to conquer the city!
"Grandpa Miao, tomorrow gather all the carpenters of Xingyuan City and step up the manufacture of catapults, with this thing, plus the earth bomb developed by Haotian, even the strongest city is not afraid." Gu Baoyi said excitedly.
"The old slave obeys!" The old miaotou hurriedly responded with a smile.
"O my great hero! It's been a busy day, so let's go back to the house and rest! I've set up a banquet for you to celebrate. Gu Baoyi patted Gu Haotian on the shoulder and smiled.
"Oh oh! You're not going to be eyeing my few jars of wine again! I'll tell you! There are no doors! Gu Haotian was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Gu Baoyi with a vigilant face and said.
Everyone was amused by Gu Haotian's stingy expression, this thing is really a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain!
Gu Haotian and others returned to the garrison mansion from the school field, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they listened to the report of the Black Dragon Guard, Wu Meng rushed back from Kyoto City, everyone was happy when they heard the words, and they stepped up their steps to the mansion, and just walked to the courtyard to see Wu Meng, who was in the dust, coming out of the hall.
"General Wu Meng, it's been hard all the way!" Gu Baoyi smiled happily.
"Young marshal, as soon as the last general arrived in Kyoto City, he reported the Tang newspaper to the military department, and then went back to the house to report the border situation to the old lady, and handed over the family letters of the young marshal and the young general to the old lady." Wu Meng bowed and said.
"Does His Majesty the Emperor have a will? What does the old lady have to explain? Gu Baoyi asked eagerly.
"Your Majesty did not issue a decree, but only said that he would reward his meritorious deeds when the class master returned to the court. As for the matter of delaying grain and grass, His Majesty has given the young marshal full authority to deal with this matter! Wu Meng reported truthfully, and then took out a letter and an account book from his bosom and said: "This is the letter from the old lady to the young marshal and the young general, and this is the barometer from Kyoto City to Ishihara Castle." After finishing speaking, he handed the letter to Gu Baoyi, and the barometer to Gu Haotian.
"Your Majesty has given me full authority to deal with this matter?" Gu Baoyi happily accepted the letter and asked in surprise.
"Oh! There is such a big thing, is there no movement at all in the Taishi Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial History Mansion? Gu Haotian raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The young general was really thoughtful, and he actually guessed it." Wu Meng looked at Gu Haotian and said with a smile.
After listening to Wu Meng's words, everyone turned their heads to look at him.
"The Grand Master, the Prime Minister and the Imperial Doctor, after receiving the report, told the young marshal to the front of the emperor, and the three princes and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military all followed suit, fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor was aware of everything, not only was he not deceived by them, but also reprimanded him fiercely, and finally His Majesty handed over the matter to the young marshal to deal with." Wu Meng explained with a smile.
"I knew that they wouldn't stop, but I didn't expect to unite the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces and the three princes to sue me!" Gu Baoyi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"After the old lady learned about this, he went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Taishi Mansion and the Imperial History Mansion to make a big fuss, and they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to show their faces, saying that they didn't dare to see each other at home!" Wu Meng gloated.
"Hey, hey! His Majesty the Emperor handed over this hot yam to the eldest brother, and it seems that he didn't have any good intentions! Gu Haotian looked at Gu Baoyi and sneered.
All the generals looked at Gu Haotian suspiciously, and the old Miao glanced at Gu Haotian meaningfully, and then understood what Gu Haotian meant.
"Haotian, don't be presumptuous!" Gu Baoyi raised his eyebrows and reprimanded.
"What the second prince said is very true, if the eldest prince disposes of those four people, he will have a grudge with the Gongye family, the Xia family, and the Lu family!" The old miaotou sighed.
"Humph! In that case, the young marshal just sent them lightly. Mo Song interjected.
"Hey, hey! Hair from lightly? This matter has already alarmed the saints, and everyone knows about it, how to deal with it lightly? Besides, although His Majesty the Emperor has no clear will, if the eldest brother does not deal with this matter painlessly, it will violate His Majesty's holy will! If Your Majesty blames it, the eldest brother will be punished for the crime of covering up! The most important thing is the crime of deception! Gu Haotian looked at Mo Song and explained with a sneer.
Mo Song and the others all broke out in a cold sweat, they didn't expect that there were so many deep meanings and cats in it, and it was really dark above the court! Your heart is unpredictable!
Gu Baoyi glanced at Gu Haotian deeply, and admired this second brother very much in his heart, but he didn't expect him to be so thoughtful.
There was a hint of surprise in the old eyes of the old man, originally he only thought that Gu Haotian was sinister and cunning, and he was scheming, but he didn't expect him to be so scheming at a young age, and to see things so thoroughly and far-reaching.
"Hey! I'll think about it! General Wu Meng, it's been hard all the way, go and wash up and sit down together. Gu Baoyi took a deep breath and looked at Wu Meng and smiled.
"Young marshal, major general, there is one more thing, the last general doesn't know whether to talk about it or not." Wu Meng hesitated for a moment and looked at Gu Haotian and Gu Baoyidao.
"Haha! General Wu Meng, please say it directly! Gu Baoyi smiled heartily.
"When I went back to the mansion to report to the old lady, as soon as I entered the mansion gate, I happened to meet General Mipu..."Wu Meng nodded and said.
"Mipu? Didn't he go with his mother to guard the Southern Wilderness? Gu Baoyi interrupted Wu Meng's words and asked in surprise.
Mi Pu, Di Xuan Xiuwei, one of the eighteen guards of the black dragon, followed Mrs. Zhongguo to the Southern Wilderness to guard this time.
Seeing General Mipu's hurried expression and solemn face, the last general couldn't help but ask. According to General Yoneura, recently, there had been an abnormal movement in the barbarian army under the Southern Barbarian King, and Mrs. Tadakuni was worried about the change, so she sent him back to Kyoto to report to the old lady. Wu Meng reported honestly.
"Ahh Is there such a thing? What can the old lady explain? Gu Baoyi nervously grabbed Wu Meng's and asked.
"The old lady didn't mention it, and the last general didn't dare to ask!" Wu Meng shook his head solemnly.
"Alas! The old lady was afraid that we would be distracted and delay the war, so he didn't dare to tell him. Gu Haotian sighed.
