Li Fu knelt behind the desk, carefully recalled the details of Guangfang's assassination, and proposed: "General, since Jiaodong can send people to infiltrate Gaomi County, can we send people to infiltrate Jimo City?" As long as a hundred people infiltrate, I believe that on a dark and windy night, they will definitely be able to break through the city gate with the weakest garrison! ”

Bai Mingzhe hadn't spoken yet, and Su Jian took the lead in saying, "I'm afraid this won't work!" The scouts learned from the merchants who entered and left the city that except for some caravans that often entered the city to trade, everyone else, as long as they spoke with a foreign accent, would be detained by the guards of the city, and then escorted to Jimo Prison for strict interrogation! ”

"Stains." Bai Mingzhe chirped a few times, "Ma Ning is playing very ruthlessly." The soldiers of the Wunan Zhong Army are not locals of Jiaodong. If they check from the accent, don't even think about sneaking into Jimo! It seems that Ma Ning still has some abilities, and it is not a rice bucket! ”

Li Fu frowned, "Then, can I buy the captains of the city gate and make them use for me?" There are four major city gates in Jimo, as long as you successfully buy one, you can successfully break the city! Of course, it's best to buy the East Gate, the North Gate, or the West Gate. These gates are connected to the inner city, and the south gate is too far away from the inner city to be bought, and even if it is bought, it will take a lot of time to attack the inner city gates. ”

"Ben will feel that the method of buying will be difficult to succeed." Bai Mingzhe crossed his hands, put them on the desk, groaned, and said: "The bureaucrats in the Jiaodong area have formed a community of interests. It can be said without mercy that almost none of the officials in Jimo City are clean. Do you think they will be stupid enough to welcome Wang Shi into the city and kill themselves? ”

Li Fu was a little irritable, and hammered the case a few times, "Isn't there a way to enter the city quickly?" If you don't give the city a thunderous blow and enter the city in a very short time, I'm afraid that the day the city is broken will be the time when Ma Ning dies. At that time, there was really no chance to win King Kang. ”

Su Jian shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "At this point, I'm afraid there is no other way than to attack the city."

"Princes, since you can't break through from the inside, let's attack the city directly and violently!" A thought suddenly flashed through Bai Mingzhe's mind, and he suddenly smiled slyly and said, "Gong Li, where is the craftsman brought by Zong Zhengqing now?"

Li Fu frowned slightly and looked at Su Jian, "General Su is responsible for this matter." ”

Su Jian smiled and replied, "It's all in Gaomi County." ”

"Good! It's good that you didn't go! Bai Mingzhe stroked his hand and smiled, "These craftsmen are exclusively for the royal family, and the craftsmanship must not be said." ”

Su Jian and Li Fu glanced at each other, a little confused, and asked curiously, "Dare to ask the general what he wants to ......?"

Bai Mingzhe said calmly: "Let them make something!"

Su Jian's eyes lit up, the beards on both sides of his cheeks trembled, his voice trembled, and he asked excitedly: "Could it be those clay pots that Uncle Zhang mentioned before!"

A couple of clay pots, destroy the battering ram!

If you use this thing, you can really break through the city in a very short time!

Bai Mingzhe shook his head, "Non-yes, non-yes!" I have already arranged for my cronies to make those clay pots. What I plan to make by those craftsmen are two siege weapons! ”

For some reason, Su Jian and Li Fu seemed to smell a strong smell of blood.

Su Jian bit his lip and reminded: "General, in addition to the ladder and the well, the other weapons in the siege are dispensable, right?" If you want to make wells, ladders and the like, you don't need the craftsmen brought by Zong Zhengqing, and my soldiers can make them. ”

"What are ladders and wells? The siege weapon I am talking about, once it appears on the battlefield, its power will never be ......."

"Never ......" Bai Mingzhe groaned, and finally thought of a power reference.

Looking at the two who were puzzled, he smiled slightly and said, "Might, by no means under the Great Qin Bed Crossbow!"

Suddenly, two exclamations, one in front of the other, came out of the mouths of Li Fu and Su Jian respectively.

"What?"

"Impossible!"

The two of them couldn't sit still and stood up at the same time.

What is the Great Qin Bed Crossbow?

That was a peerless weapon when the Qin State was crisscrossing the Six Kingdoms!

When Meng Tian attacked the Xiongnu and built the Great Wall, the bed crossbow played a huge role.

If it weren't for the fact that the number of this thing was too small and it was too cumbersome to move, Liu Che would have taken the bed crossbow and went to Mobei to kill the Huns.

Li Fu was anxious, and asked, "General, dare to ask, what is it, the power can be compared to the Great Qin Bed Crossbow?"

"Eight bull crossbows, trebuchets!"

Li muttered, "Eight bull crossbows? ”

Su Jian also looked surprised and muttered, "Trebuchet? ”

The two of them are also generals with rich experience in leading troops, especially Su Jian, when he was the Taishou of Daijun before, he fought with the Xiongnu a lot.

This eight-ox crossbow, he has never heard of, as for the trebuchet, although this thing is powerful, but once it works, at least three hundred soldiers will be activated!

A siege engine, containing 300 people on his side, is not worth it!

Besides, if you count the soldiers who transported the stones, a trebuchet directly restrained nearly 500 of your own people!

Even if the Nanzhong Army has a huge establishment, it can't waste its troops like this.

So, Su Jian and Li Fu sighed at the same time and shook their heads.

"Why are you sighing?" Bai Mingzhe blinked curiously, I haven't said anything about its power yet.

Li Fu is a real person, although he is a little unbearable, but he still speaks, "General, although the last general does not understand the eight-ox crossbow, but he has heard of trebuchets. When the trebuchet was in use, we had to use nearly 500 men, and because it was too cumbersome, we threw it seven or eight times at most, and the soldiers were completely out of strength. The last general thinks that the city will be sieged with trebuchets. Worth! ”

"Harm! I thought what was going on! The two of you are so anxious that I haven't finished talking about it yet. After Bai Mingzhe sneered, he explained: "The Eight Ox Crossbow, as the name suggests, is driven by oxen or horses!" The maximum range is about 800 steps! Of course, the range is around four hundred paces, which can exert maximum power. ”

Thinking that the ring parts on it were difficult to make, he added: "Because of the delicate structure and the high requirements for craftsmen, this thing is not easy to mass-produce." Even if a hundred craftsmen work around the clock and make it according to the assembly line method, in three days, they can make more than 20 frames! ”

Li Fu suddenly screamed, "Eight hundred steps, I drop an old ancestor." ”

Damn, this is the distance when Zhang Liang assassinated Qin Shi Huang, right?

Although he didn't understand what the assembly line was for, it was enough to know the range and output, and he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, so he asked eagerly: "General, how many horses do you need to drive the Eight Bull Crossbow?"

"Three or four!"

Li Fu's eyes were glazed, saliva was about to flow out of his mouth, and he muttered, "Only three or four horses and eight hundred paces are needed, if it is against the Huns...... Divine weapons! ”

Su Jian reacted suddenly, if it is really as Bai Mingzhe said, the strategic position of this thing is not lower than salt!

So, he stepped forward, looked righteous, and arched his hand: "General, I suggest that no matter whether Ma Ning lives or dies, we will delay the siege time, and after a month, use a large number of eight-bull crossbows to forcibly break through Jimo City!"

Li Fu also stood up, nodded, and said, "I agree with General Su's words!" With such a divine weapon, it is too late for His Majesty to reward him, how can he accommodate the cause of death of 2,000 stones? Even if there are people in the court who don't know whether they are alive or dead, the entire military will stand by the side of the public! ”

He is telling the truth!

If Longxi, Beidi, and Yanmen are equipped with this thing, I am afraid that those generals will directly lead the troops to attack the Xiongnu.

Eight hundred steps, one thousand meters, a proper cavalry nemesis!

As long as there are enough of them, two rounds of projectiles, even if it is a military minister Shan Yu's ten thousand horses, they will have to break their muscles and bones!

The people who dare to invent magic weapons, is it true that the Han military has not shown off its muscles in the past two years, and the world has forgotten its horror?

Longxi, Beidi, and even Yanmen Suyi also stood up, so no matter how huge the family is, no matter how powerful the princes and kings are, they have to go to Chang'an in person to apologize for their sins and stabilize the hearts of the army!

"Don't worry, you two. It's just a city of Jimo. Bai Mingzhe's tone was relaxed, "As long as you use the eight-ox crossbow and trebuchet to cover, and let the soldiers pile up the thunder at the city gate, within an hour, the city will be broken!" ”

Su Jian smiled awkwardly, "Uh-uh...... Trebuchet ......"

He really doesn't like this thing.

Bai Mingzhe was no longer low-key, and shouted confidently: "My improved trebuchet, driven by more than 20 people, is no less powerful than a trebuchet driven by 300 people!"

Li Fu: "!!!"

Su Jian: "!!!"

Directly reduce the driving force to one-twentieth!

Is this a trebuchet? Is this really not divine power?

If this thing can really be made, why did Liu Bang bypass Hangu Pass, take Wuguan, and enter Xianyang in the first place?

They didn't know what to say anymore.

This Nanzhong general, can't he be from the Mo family? If it's not the Mo family, it must be a public loser!

In their opinion, only these two could cultivate master craftsmen who improved trebuchets and invented the eight-ox crossbow with a single move.

Li Fu took a deep breath and said, "General, how long does it take to make a trebuchet?"

Bai Mingzhe smiled, "You don't need skilled craftsmen, as long as there are enough ordinary craftsmen, you can get nearly 100 cars in one night!" ”

This data was obtained by him from the "Cao thief" of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At the beginning of the battle of Guandu, the wife Cao Ke used it to break Yuan Shao's crossbowmen!

However, Cao Cao's thing is called a thunderbolt, and he is called a trebuchet.

There are some differences between trebuchets and thunderbolts, and the drawings he prepared are the ones that have been improved by Ma Jun - to make a round, dozens of county stones, and to use the machine drum wheel as the norm, then to break the county stone to fly to the enemy city, so that the head and tail are electrified.

Although the firing range is only more than 100 steps, when used, it is easy to be taken care of by the crossbowmen at the head of the enemy's city, but the power is definitely resounding!

As long as the eight-bull crossbow covers and the trebuchet, it can definitely enter the specified range!

At that time, it will be overwhelmingly advantageous to cover the battering ram advance!
