Xu Huang couldn't believe that Liu Zheng had built twenty trebuchets in three days.

However, he obviously saw that Liu Zheng hadn't done anything a few days ago, and he hadn't built any trebuchets at all, but in just a few days, twenty trebuchets were conjured out of thin air.

This made Xu Huang feel extremely surprised, he walked into Liu Zheng's trebuchets, lifted the branches covering them, and after taking a general look at these trebuchets, he looked even more confused.

Because the trebuchet made by Liu Zheng is very different from him. Both the appearance and the method of projection are almost completely different.

The trebuchet made by Xu Huang still has some trebuchets, and the trebuchet on Liu Zheng's side really doesn't look like a trebuchet, not only is the whole reminder not too big, but even the way of projection needs to rely on some bowstrings to guide.

It's more like a large bow than a trebuchet.

Xu Huang looked at the time here for a while, frowned and carefully observed Liu Zheng's trebuchets, and then there was still deep doubt in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask Liu Zheng.

"Lord, are you sure this thing you made is called a trebuchet? You can't have deliberately made something to fool me in order to bet on me to win me. ”

"What? Don't believe me? ”

Liu Zheng turned his head and looked at Xu Huang, although Xu Huang had doubts about his own things, but Liu Zheng himself did not suspect anything, on the contrary, he was very confident in his trebuchet, and it would only be stronger than the human trebuchets that Xu Huang made.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this thing you made, I don't look like a trebuchet no matter how I look at it, can I really break the gate of Xianglin City by relying on him? If we can't open it, the promise we made in front of Fan Xiong before will be a slap in the face. ”

Xu Huang was still worried about Liu Zheng's previous words.

But Liu Zheng was not worried at all, on the contrary, he was very calm.

"Don't worry, with him, I am 100% sure that I can break through the gate of the Elephant Forest City!"

"If you don't believe me, you'll soon find out that you've lost the bet between us!"

Xu Huang looked at Liu Zheng's trebuchets with suspicion, but now it is only the ninth day, although it has not yet reached the ten-day appointment, but Liu Zheng has already pulled out all the trebuchets, obviously, he plans to start attacking the city today.

At this time, on the tower of Xianglin City, because of the worry in his heart, Fan Xiong, who has been patrolling the city tower for the past few days, often appears here.

Fan Xiong, who was at this meeting, saw Liu Zhengjun outside Caiheng, and began to gather gradually, as if he had a plan to attack again, and the worries and fears he had been worried about in the past few days finally began to become more nervous.

Hurriedly walked around the battlements to observe what changes had occurred on Liu Zheng's side.

"Adjutant General, have there been any movements of those big man's soldiers and horses these days?"

Fan Xiong has not been patrolling on this city tower for a long time, although he occasionally observes the situation on Liu Zheng's side, but he doesn't watch Liu Zheng's movements carefully, so he still wants to ask the deputy general directly and get the news from the deputy general's mouth.

The lieutenant general has been observing the enemy army in the city tower recently, guarding against Liu Zhengjun's sudden attack on the city. So he still knows the situation outside the city very well, and when Fan Xiong asked, he immediately said to Fan Xiong.

"Back to Your Majesty, those Han officers and soldiers outside the city, there hasn't been much movement these days, and they haven't even seen reinforcements, but some of them have left from outside the city and cut down a lot of timber in the woodland in the distance to the outside of the city."

"Got a lot of timber?"

"Well, they piled up the timber, and I don't know what they were doing, but it seems that they were making some siege equipment."

Although he didn't understand what Liu Zheng was doing, with his intuition, the deputy general decided that Liu Zheng and the others were preparing for the siege.

After all, Liu Zheng boasted about going to Haikou and said that he would break the city within ten days, and it was impossible not to prepare anything.

After Fan Xiong heard the lieutenant's words, he was not so flustered.

"It's no wonder, after all, Liu Zheng said that he was going to attack Xianglin City, how could he take Xianglin City without making some preparations, he went to make siege equipment, but I didn't worry, I have confidence in the wall of Xianglin City, it is not so easy to break, I have been to Jiaozhi County, the height of our wall of Xianglin City is higher than that of Jiaozhou, and it is not so easy to break."

Liu Zheng's actions show that Liu Zheng is preparing, not doing nothing, if Liu Zheng doesn't do anything, and is so calm, this will make Fan Xiong feel terrible.

It just so happened that when Fan Xiong appeared on the city tower, Liu Zheng's men and horses were also assembled at this time.

Liu Zheng glanced at the city tower from a distance, and then saw Fan Xiong at a glance, and immediately shouted loudly at the city tower with his throat raised.

"Fan Xiong, today is the ninth day!"

Fan Xiong didn't expect Liu Zheng to call him at this time, turned his head, looked away from his lieutenant's body, and looked at Liu Zheng under the city.

After pondering for a moment, Fan Xiong still responded to Liu Zheng under the city.

"Liu Zheng, do you know that it's the ninth day, and there is still one day left, if you can't break my Elephant Forest City, do you really want to retreat?"

Fan Xiong is still reluctant to compete with Liu Zheng's men and horses, and only hopes that he can survive these few days, and then Liu Zheng retreats and leaves as he wishes, so that this crisis can be resolved in this way.

But Liu Zheng didn't follow what he thought, but spoke at Fan Xiong in a rather playful tone.

"Yes, there is still one day to go, but I can't wait, I don't want to wait until the tenth day to break the city, today while you are on the city tower, I will let you see with your own eyes, how I broke your Xianglin City!"

As soon as Liu Zheng said a word, Fan Xiong's face on the city tower, which was not so worried just now, suddenly changed, and he immediately became nervous.

However, he still had confidence in his city wall and did not believe that Liu Zheng could break the city in such a short time.

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, if you have the ability, you can come in, and you don't have the ability to speak here!"

Fan Xiong replied coldly, wanting to see if Liu Zheng really planned to attack the city.

And when Liu Zheng saw Fan Xiong talking like this, he naturally didn't continue to speak, but immediately spoke at Xu Huang.

"General Xu Huang, let's start preparing for the siege!"

"Yes, my lord, Wenpin! Gather your staff! ”

After Xu Huang received Liu Zheng's order, he directly ordered nine thousand soldiers and horses to start preparing for the attack.
