The structure of the catapult is not complicated, and with the skill of the carpenter of Daqi, it only took a few days to build two catapults.

This kind of improvised catapult is easy to make, but it is also the range of influence.

After testing, the maximum range of this catapult is only more than 200 meters, and if you want to attack the city wall, you must be about 100 meters close to the city wall.

This distance is already a bit dangerous, and some people with super strong arms will also cause casualties if they throw condescendingly.

However, Liyang doesn't mind this, with this kind of sharp weapon, it is not easy to break through a small earthen city.

Early in the morning, the horn sounded, and the Great Qi army advanced towards Gucheng.

Looking at the slowly advancing enemy, the Gu Cheng nobles suddenly panicked.

Especially those two odd things gave them a sense of danger.

The Great Qi army stopped a hundred paces away from the city wall.

Dozens of soldiers pushed the catapult forward more than ten meters and raised their shields to guard the catapult.

The conscripted men filled the stones according to the requirements of the craftsmen.

The defenders of Gucheng were very puzzled when they saw the enemy busy under the city, but they did not do the project.

Just as they were confused, they heard an angry shout.

Two boulders roared towards the city walls.

When the people of Gu Cheng saw this, they were so frightened that they even forgot to dodge.

But Daqi is also the first time to operate this trebuchet, in the accuracy is much worse, this round of attacks, a few meters higher than the city wall, the stones fell in the city, smashing the two houses, I don't know how many casualties were caused.

The people of the city were so frightened by this sudden blow that they thought that the heavens had sent a divine punishment, and they bowed down to the sky, praying that the heavens would calm their anger.

And the nobles on the city wall, but they saw with their own eyes that the stone flew from the enemy's side, and looked at the smashed houses to dust, their faces were full of horror, if the stone just went down a little bit, the city wall would probably collapse at once.

Seeing that the enemy was carrying those stones again, the nobles immediately panicked, and they did not think that they would have the good luck of the last time.

If this stone really falls on his head, he can still have his life, as long as the city collapses, the city will definitely not be able to hold it.

Before the stones could be fired again, the nobles on the city wall shouted: "My people are willing to surrender, our people are willing to surrender!" ”

When Li Yang heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Wouldn't it have been done earlier, the harmful Lao Tzu wasted a few days of food." ”

Soon, Gu Cheng's closed city gate slowly opened, and a group of nobles rushed out, kneeling in front of the city gate with hulala.

Seeing this, Liyang rode up and stopped five meters away from the army.

"Who are you waiting for?"

The nobles looked at each other, and a middle-aged man knelt on the ground and said, "I am Gu Guoxuan, meet the Heavenly Army!" ”

Li Yang smiled: "Heavenly Army? We are not the Heavenly Army, we are the Qi Army! Since you have surrendered to Daqi, this place will be under the jurisdiction of Daqi in the future. ”

As for whether it was the Celestial Army or the Qi Army, it made no difference to them at all, and what they were most concerned about now was whether these conquerors would treat them really, whether they would be taken away as slaves, or other arrangements.

Then Li Yang, who didn't dare to refute it, just knelt on the ground to show obedience.

Li Yang looked at these people and said, "Where is the monarch of the country, why don't you see him come out to meet him, why, do you want to resist to the end?" ”

When he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your nobleman is angry, the monarch... The monarch followed the queen of summer to attack the judge. Shang clan, so far... It has not been returned to this day. ”

When Li Yang heard this, he sneered: "Hehe, he can't come back, you don't have to wait." ”

When everyone in Gu Cheng heard this, their faces changed, and they lowered their bodies.

"Since you have surrendered, the leader of the Great Qi has mercy on you and others, and will not let you suffer from that slavery if you do not punish you more!"

When everyone heard this, their hearts were relieved, and Yu Zheng hurriedly said: "I don't know how to arrange for us." ”

"There is no need to worry about this, all you need to do is obey, wait for the leader's arrangement, and don't have the idea of making trouble, otherwise I don't want to see your heads hung on the city wall during the winter sacrifice."

"Rest assured, rest assured, we will definitely submit to the Shang clan and will never cause chaos."

Yu Zheng said very respectfully.

The bloodless ones were let go, and Li Yang was in a good mood, so that after the soldiers collected all the weapons of the Gu Guo soldiers, he waved his hand and rode into the city as a conqueror.

Gu Guo's palace, Li Yang did not dare to enter, if he entered such a place, he would be suspected of usurping power, but he would occupy the courtyard in the city, which was second only to the palace, as his camp.

Li Yang sat on the main seat, and his generals lined up on both sides to accept the audience of the nobles of the Gu State.

As the highest-ranking person among the nobles of the Gu Kingdom, Na Ku Zheng naturally received special care.

In this era, being able to cook is a great thing, and Ku Zheng personally cooked a banquet for Liyang, and served respectfully like a servant.

And the nobles selected beautiful women from their own people to serve, and they only hoped that these conquerors would still give them their original identity and status.

Even if it can't be the same, it's not bad, at least you don't have to do those shitty things as a slave.

Ku Zheng's cooking skills are indeed commendable, using simple ingredients, but can make delicious taste, and the dishes are much richer than Daqi.

Li Yang felt that this was a talent, and after a few bottles of wine, Li Yang called Yu Zheng over with a burp.

"You're very good, you can cook this meat so deliciously, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to use it again in the future."

When he heard this, he said with joy in his heart, "If the nobles eat deliciously, they will cook delicious food for the nobles in the future." ”

Li Yang waved his hand and said with a straight face: "Cook food for me, hum!" Are you trying to murder me? ”

When Yu Zheng heard this, he was suddenly startled, knelt down and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" The nobleman is angry. ”

Li Yang smiled, motioned for the chief to get up, pointed to the food on the table and said, "Your cooking skills will be useful for cooking for the leader in the future, and only the leader is worthy of enjoying this kind of food every day." ”

Hearing this, Ku Zheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for your advice, if you can get the appreciation of the leaders of Daqi in the future, you will be grateful for your cultivation every day." ”

Li Yang smiled: "You can take the initiative to surrender, you and I will be people of the same clan in the future, what is that Ji Qi Xiao'er, with tens of thousands of troops, it is not that he was beaten by the leader of our clan and fled in a panic, if he didn't run fast, today, this wine utensil will be the skull of his Ji Qi Xiao'er." ”

The generals of the Great Qi were obviously also full of wine, and when they heard Liyang's words, they laughed excitedly.

Liyang bragged about it, but the nobles of Gu Guo took it seriously, and they suddenly trembled with fear, while they were afraid of the strength of Daqi, they felt a lot less guilty about surrendering without a fight, and the Zhuxia coalition army was defeated by Daqi, what could they do if they didn't surrender with such shrimp soldiers and crabs, and wait for the city to be broken, kill themselves to vent their anger?

Thinking of this, the nobles did not dare to have a trace of resistance.
