Several people nodded together, their eyes full of seriousness, and then they all looked similar, and began to laugh.

Although they were very tired, Takagi and the others felt extremely comfortable, as if the fatigue of the past few days had disappeared without a trace.

When Takagi and the others went back, it was late at night, and Xiao Er enthusiastically sent them out of the inn.

When he returned to the post station, Meng Tian was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and when he saw Takagi and the others coming back, he didn't ask where they went, but asked quietly, "Are you happy to shop?" ”

"The customs here are unforgettable." Shi Ming replied.

"This is still thanks to the honest soldiers, if it weren't for them, this place would have been plundered by the enemy." Meng Tian opened his mouth and said, the soldiers guarding the city are Meng Tian's henchmen, so Meng Tian is so relieved to hand over this place to them.

Gao Mu and the others naturally knew the meaning of Meng Tian's words, this is just a wall between the border and the outside of the competition, and the enemy does not know when he will come to attack the city gate, if there are no soldiers defending the city, there will be no such prosperous scene here.

"Tomorrow morning we will set out with our whole army, and when we reach the camp, you will begin to build the catapults, and then you will be kept safe as long as you stay in the camp and do not go anywhere." Meng Tian instructed.

"Yes." Takagi and the others listened to Meng Tian's words, and Yi Tong replied with a respectful salute.

"It's late at night, so let's rest." Meng Tian didn't disturb their rest, and left after some advice.

Seeing Meng Tian leaving, Takagi and the others didn't stay long, because Meng Tian will have a tough battle for tomorrow, and there may never be such a time to rest like tonight.

On the second day, when the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the earth, Meng Tian had already gathered the army and set off, and Takagi and the others obviously looked a lot better after resting this night.

It didn't take much time to get from the city gate to the barracks, and soon Meng Tian and the others arrived at the barracks, and several generals in the military training were already at the gate to greet them.

Seeing Meng Tian's arrival, they immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "General Meng." ”

"Get up!" Meng Tian waved his hand, and his tone was full of majesty.

Meng Tian walked directly into the barracks, and said to several generals as he walked: "The army has all arrived, and the barracks have been distributed." ”

"Yes." A general said.

"By the way, this time I didn't bring much food, the follow-up grain and grass will be transported over one after another, and the grain brought this time will be distributed, don't cause the phenomenon of food shortage, this is a big taboo in marching and fighting, and the grain and grass must be sufficient for marching and fighting." Meng Tian didn't bring much grain and grass this time, and the follow-up grain and grass needed a period of time before they could be transported one after another, so he said to all the generals seriously.

"Yes." The generals here are all Meng Tian's henchmen, and what Meng Tian says is immediately executed and orderly.

Gao Mu and the others followed behind Meng Tian all the time, without saying a word, and after Meng Tian entered the camp tent, he said to Shang Shangzao: "These are the carpenters who were personally ordered by His Majesty to accompany the army, you arrange a camp tent for them, find a few soldiers to guard, and don't let them be hurt in the slightest." ”

"Obedience." Shang Shangzao heard Meng Tian's words and immediately said respectfully.

I had long heard that His Majesty had sent several carpenters, who were said to make a catapult, and all the soldiers were very curious.

Shang Shangzao recognized Mu Qidang when he appeared, and he had seen him at the Great Wall before.

"You follow Shang Shangzao to the camp to rest first, I will deal with some affairs here first, and then find someone to call you later." Meng Tian said to Takagi and the others.

"Yes, General Meng." Gao Mu and the others didn't say much, and respectfully saluted Meng Tian, and then the monk Shangzao left.

When Gao Mu and the others left, Meng Tian began to supervise all military affairs and understand the situation in the military camp.

Shang Shangzao took Gao Mu and the others to leave Meng Tian's tent, and then said to Mu Qi with a smile: "Mu Gongzi hasn't seen you for a long time. ”

Mu Qi naturally remembered Shang Shangzao, and when he saw the other party greeting him with a smile on his face, he replied: "It's been half a year, I don't know if Shang Shangzao is doing well." ”

Yes, it has been half a year since the incident of Meng Jiangnu, and the mythical story of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall has gradually been forgotten, and only occasionally someone will be the topic of cooking afterward, but it has long deviated from the truth of the matter.

"Yes, time flies so fast, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye." Shang Shangzao also sighed.

Shang Shangzao did not mention Meng Jiangnu, because Shang Shangzao could see Mu Qi's feelings for Meng Jiangnu, but he regretted in his heart that such a woman finally jumped the Great Wall.

"Isn't Shang Shangzao overseeing the construction of the Great Wall? How did it end up here? "If Mu Qi remembers correctly, Shang Shangzao was responsible for the construction of the Great Wall.

"Isn't this going to war? I will definitely follow General Meng, the eldest husband fights on the battlefield, and defending the country is the real no regrets in this life. Shang Shangzao said this, a proud expression appeared on his face, which aroused the admiration of Mu Qi and others.

"Okay." Qishan said with an appreciative face: "I Qishan just admires Shang Shang's creation of a real man like you." ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Shang Shangzao saw that Qishan was also a bold person, and his heart was full of appreciation for him.

Shang Shangzao took Mu Qi and the others to a camp tent and said to Mu Qi and the others: "There are many soldiers in the army, so I have wronged you and crowded into this camp together." ”

"It's okay, a few of us don't have much effect, the camp is still left for the soldiers to rest, they are the main force to kill the enemy." Mu Qi and the others didn't mind, after all, everyone was already familiar with each other, and it wasn't much of a problem to squeeze into one tent.

"In this way, I will not disturb everyone's rest, and I will come to call you again when General Meng wants to see you later." Shang Shangzao didn't bother to linger much, and said to Mu Qi and the others.

"Thank you for being made on the ground." Mu Qi and the others said to Shang Shangzao.

Shang Shangzao nodded and left, watching Shang Shangzao leave, Mu Qi and the others entered the camp, in fact, the camp is not small, and the space is still very large, which can make Mu Qi and others move freely.

Mu Qi and the others rested in the camp tent for a while, and when Shang Shangzao came to them again, it was already past lunch time, and Mu Qi and the others ate in their own tent, and the meal was very simple.

When Mu Qi and the others came to Meng Tian's tent, they saw that Meng Tian and a few soldiers were still discussing what to write, and when they saw Gao Mu and others walking in, Meng Tian waved his hand and said, "You guys came just in time, there are some things I want to ask you." ”

"General Meng, please speak." Takagi replied.

"What materials are needed to make this catapult? We can begin to prepare for you, the great war is imminent, and

There isn't much time left. Meng Tian looked at Takagi and the others and said seriously.

"When we set off, the master had already informed us of the details of the production steps, which was actually not difficult, but there were a few mechanisms that needed to be made by insiders." Takagi replied that long before they set out with the army, Elder Li called everyone into the room and explained the steps of making catapults step by step.

"That's very good." Meng Tian listened to Takagi's words, and he had no worries in his heart, and finally showed a hearty smile on his face, and said, "If you need anything, just say it, we will do our best to find it." ”

"We've got all the tools." Takagi continued, "General Meng only needs to find us some thick timber and some strong ropes, and we will take care of the rest of the things." ”

"It's simple, wait for someone to do what they asked, and find some wood and ropes." After listening to Takagi's words, Meng Tian spoke without saying a word.

Then Meng Tian Yuguang suddenly aimed at Shang Shangzao, so he spoke again: "Shang Shangzao, you and Mu Qi are already old acquaintances, it should be easier to cooperate, you are responsible for this matter, and the catapult is very important, and it must not be ignored." ”

"Obedience." Shang Shangzao said excitedly when he heard that Meng Tian handed over the matter of making catapults to him.

"I'm sorry for you this time." Meng Tian looked at Takagi and the others and said seriously.

"That's what we're supposed to do." Takagi and the others said respectfully to Meng Tian.

In fact, as early as when Gao Mu and the others first arrived at the barracks, they felt that the barracks were in order, different from those who were officials and guarded the city gate in the Xianyang car, and all the soldiers here were filled with a righteous and awe-inspiring atmosphere, so that Gao Mu and the others admired them from the bottom of their hearts.

Shang Shangzao's movements are also very fast, and everything is ready the next day.

Looking at the thick wood and the ropes in the ground, Meng Tian asked Gao Mu and the others, "These may be useful?" ”

"Very good." Takagi and the others nodded and said.

These materials are really good, much better than Takagi and others imagined, and the catapults made in this way will be much stronger.

"Where did you find all the best wood?" Murch stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that if the timber was sold, it must have been very expensive.

"These are cut down on the opposite hill, and there are many trees like this, and you can have as many as you want." Although Shang Shangzao didn't understand it very well, seeing the expressions on the faces of Mu Qi and the others, he knew that these woods were of great use.

"The wood here can probably make three catapults completely, but the war is coming, and we are afraid that we will only be able to make a complete one there." Takagi thought about it seriously for a moment, and then said to Meng Tian.

"It's not a big deal, it's good to have one, you will continue to make it at that time, don't worry about the soldiers in front, and the things on the battlefield will naturally be up to me." Meng Tian listened to Takagi's words, broke Takagi's worries and said.

"We're going to finish the first catapult as soon as possible, and then we'll show everyone how powerful it is." Takagi and the others, who had no worries, said confidently to Meng Tian.

"In this case, we await your good news." Meng Tian said with a hearty laugh.

After Takagi and the others glanced at each other, they gave each other a look, and secretly decided in their hearts that they would do their best to make a good catapult.
