Takagi and the others began to make catapults seriously, and no one dared to disturb them, so Meng Tian ordered that no one should bother, and as long as Takagi and they needed it, they would cooperate unconditionally.

Therefore, during this period, in addition to Shang Shangzao delivering meals to them on time, Takagi and the others almost devoted themselves to making catapults.

The catapult seems to be very simple to make, but it requires skilled people to make it, so they divide the work, and Takagi, Shi Ming, and Mu Qi are better at crafting, and they are responsible for the important part of the mechanism.

Qishan and Xiaobu are responsible for the simple part, but although it is simple, it is a kind of physical work, which is very difficult to do, and it is necessary to cooperate with everyone in advance with the length, width, thickness, and some special parts, as long as there is the slightest difference, it is necessary to start again.

The big battle is coming, and the time is getting more and more urgent, in addition to Takagi and the others who are concentrating on making catapults, Meng Tian has also begun to arrange troops and prepare for everything.

Three days later, the first catapult was about to be made, Meng Tian looked at the behemoth in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Is this almost finished?" ”

"Yes." Takagi nodded and replied, "It's still a little bit close, and it's going to be done soon." ”

"Then we need you to practice and show us how powerful it is." Meng Tian was very satisfied with the catapult made by Takagi and others, although he didn't know its power yet, but he had a very down-to-earth feeling in his heart.

"Naturally, we'll make it all tomorrow and practice it after lunch." Takagi said confidently, this is their first achievement, and Takagi and the others are also very much looking forward to it.

"Okay." Meng Tian listened to Gao Mu's words, and began to be happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "If this one can be successful, you will save the lives of many soldiers." ”

"That's what we're supposed to do." Takagi and the others listened to Meng Tian's words, and their hearts were filled with satisfaction that they had never had, and they felt proud of what they had done.

Takagi and the others made the catapult as they said the next morning, Meng Tian gathered the soldiers on the vast prairie, and Takagi and the others pushed the catapult slowly to the prairie.

The soldiers all looked at this behemoth curiously, Meng Tian had already arranged for someone to put some big stones aside, and when Gao Mu and the others arrived, he said: "Everything you need me to prepare is here, if you need anything, just say it." ”

"That's it." Shi Ming looked at Meng Tian and said, "Please also ask General Meng to place these big stones in this basket." ”

At this time, the catapult had already been facing the direction of the prairie without people, and Meng Tian did not fake others, and personally placed the stone on the same catapult.

Seeing that Meng Tian had put the stone on the catapult, Takagi and the others glanced at each other, and then Mu Qi nodded to everyone and took a step forward, untying the rope tied to the side.

Everyone was stunned by this scene, they had always thought that this thing was useless, but after this time, their hearts were deeply impressed.

I don't know who started the applause, and then it became louder and louder one after another, and gradually I couldn't control the excitement in my heart, if I used a catapult on the field, even if the enemy was still dozens of meters away, I could let it

More than half of them were killed or wounded, and such a victory was remembered in front of them, and it could also greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers on their side.

Thinking of this, all the soldiers looked at Takagi and the others, their eyes full of enthusiasm and admiration.

"Okay." Meng Tian was greatly satisfied when he saw this result, and then said happily to Takagi and the others: "With the help of this catapult, this battle will definitely end soon, but I still hope you can make a few more." ”

"Naturally, when we go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, we will support you infinitely in the rear." Takagi said respectfully to Meng Tian.

"Did the soldiers hear that? Do you have any faith in this war? Meng Tian listened to Takagi's answer and said to all the soldiers in his deep voice.

"Yes." All the soldiers said confidently.

"This time, with the help of catapults, we will be able to defeat the enemy quickly, return to the court, and reunite with our families."

Because with the catapult, everyone is full of confidence and morale, which is a very good thing, and as long as the morale is greatly increased, there is more hope of victory.

It's just that Meng Tian didn't know that there was a group of people lurking not far away, and there were not many of them, about six or seven people.

When they saw the power of the catapult, their eyes were full of surprise, the alarm bell in their hearts rang, and seeing that each other's morale had greatly increased, they glanced at each other, made a few gestures, and left quietly.

Because of the excitement in their hearts, Meng Tian and the others didn't notice the existence of these people, so they left smoothly.

Some time ago, the King of the Huns received a secret letter, and he had written all of Meng Tian's every move in the letter, and informed him about the catapult, and repeatedly told him to find out the power of the catapult.

At first, the king of the Huns didn't care, because he had never heard of catapults, but after seeing the sign on the secret letter, in the end, the Huns sent a secret agent to check it.

No one knows who is the new one torn off with the King of the Huns? Only the king of the Huns knew what the sign on it meant.

As for the catapult, Meng Tian got it from Li Lao and presented it directly to Qin Shi Huang, so except for Qin Shi Huang, Meng Tian and the people in Loei, no one knew what kind of existence it was.

After the spies retreated from the grassland, they rushed back non-stop, really afraid that they would cause a big disaster if they were late.

Because Meng Tian and the others didn't notice the secret agent, they had already discussed it, and the war started two days later, and Takagi and the others were still making catapults in the camp.

However, there is still a problem, although the catapult can project a large stone to a place dozens of meters away, but it is not easy to move, although Takagi and others added wheels under the catapult so that they can push the catapult on the grassland, but if in those difficult places, the catapult is still difficult to move.

Therefore, Meng Tian planned to lead the other party to fight on the prairie, because no one knew about the existence of the catapult and its lethality, so once they were tricked, they would have no return.

By the time they were hurrying back, they had already sent a message to the various garrison points, and told all the soldiers what they had seen today in letters.

When they rushed back, the king of the Huns had already received a message from their flying pigeons, and was sitting in the camp tent waiting for them.

They walked in in black, and when they were about to kneel, the Huns waved their hands and said, "There is no need to salute more, and the things written in your letters will be explained to me in detail." ”

"Reporting to the Great Khan, we have seen them use something called a catapult on the steppe, which can throw stones dozens of meters away and then smash a deep pit, and the power is not negligible." The secret agent who came back didn't say much, and knew the seriousness of the matter, so he immediately told the king of the Huns.

"Can you really throw so far?" Although he heard the words of the spy himself, the king of the Huns still had some disbelief, because no one had ever made such a weapon since ancient times, and if it was true, then they were invincible.

"Giving birth to the Great Khan, this is what we have seen with our own eyes, and there is no falsehood." The spies said with a serious face, and the look in their eyes was by no means false.

"Do you know how many of these weapons they have now?" The king of the Huns believed in his secret agent, and at this point, he could only ask how many catapults there were, so that he could make some preparations.

"I don't know this for the time being, Meng Tian's military camp is airtight, and the guards are strict, so we can't check it at all, and we only see one with our own eyes." The spies said with some annoyance.

Although the spies have been wandering outside Meng Tian's military camp for a while, they have never been able to get in to see any military information, which makes them very frustrated, in the tribes of the prairie, they are also considered to be one of the best spies, but they can't even get into a military camp, how can they be embarrassed?

"Go down first." Although the Hun King was very dissatisfied with the words of the secret agent, he also deeply suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart when he was employing people.

"Thank you, Great Khan." Seeing that the Hun King did not blame himself, the spies secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and they must have been punished for the temper of the Hun King in the past.

Seeing the spies leaving, the Hun King stood up anxiously, originally wanted to write a secret letter, but suddenly thought that Meng Tian would definitely launch an attack in the next few days, and now it was too late to write a letter.

So the king of the Huns put down the pen in his hand, called the guards outside the tent in, and summoned everyone to gather at once to discuss the plan.

Soon everyone came to the camp of the king of the Huns, and when everyone saw the nervous look on the face of the king of the Huns, they couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Great Khan, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Shouldn't we discuss countermeasures when war is about to start?" The Hun King looked at everyone's faces without any nervousness, and his heart became even more angry.

"Great Khan, what are you afraid of? We haven't been at war with Great Qin once or twice, have you seen them ask for favors when they? A man stood up and said disappreciatively.

The spies were in a hurry, and they only sent a message to all the generals who defended the city and the king of the Huns, but most of them still didn't know about the existence of catapults, because the previous wars gave them nothing to fear.

For example, the left time of this opening, because he has never participated in the war, nor has he participated in any military discussions, because of the coincidence that he was promoted to this position, this is the first time he came to the camp of the Great Khan to discuss the war, originally wanted to pat himself in front of the Great Khan, wanted to let himself be appreciated by the Great Khan, and let his official fortune be constant, but he did not expect to be patted on the horse's feet and provoke the Great Khan to be angry.
