In the middle of the night, the craftsmen and handymen of the baggage battalion were a little nervous, but they did not feel a real threat. It wasn't until the end of the war that they came out to help clear the battlefield. When they saw the corpses and the blood-stained river, they couldn't believe their eyes.

More than 2,000 fighters not only withstood the attack of more than 10,000 people, but also won a great victory, and while they were relieved, they were inevitably a little jealous. If you win a battle, you will be rewarded with spoils, and these warriors have already enjoyed the best treatment, and now they have made another payment, which is really eye-catching.

Hearing that they were going to attack the He family's manor, the craftsmen suddenly became energetic. They can't fight people, but it's their job to operate the stone thrower, and they've been busy for so many days, just waiting for this moment. Without Huang Chengyan's mobilization, they threw themselves into the preparatory work with high morale.

Although Zhou Yu once ordered to give up the trebuchet, Lou Gui had no concept of these big guys, and Huang Chengyan did not leave him anything to throw at, so these trebuchets were almost untouched and intact. Under the operation of the craftsmen, eight stone throwers aimed at the gate of the He family manor, loaded the stones, pulled up the counterweight, and prepared to go.

Yuan Shu sat on the hillside, watching the craftsmen of the baggage camp busy, still not very sure. The stone thrower is not a new thing, he has seen it a long time ago, these stone throwers are just bigger, how strong can they be. Lei Bo beside him didn't think so, and looked around indifferently.

On the corner tower of the He family's manor, the He family's trilogy didn't take it too seriously. Attacking in the middle of the night, more than 1,000 people went out, only more than 200 people came back, Sun Cebu's combat effectiveness is indeed amazing, but the He family's dock fort is strong, and it is not a high combat effectiveness that can definitely be attacked. If the He family was so easy to fight, they didn't have to wait for Sun Ce to come, and they would be looted by the Yellow Turban in the first year of Zhongping.

He Xian's wife, Yin Ji, stood in the dock fort, looking out through the lookout, worried. He Xian went to Wancheng, and Cao Cao fought against Yuan Shu together, led the troops to attack at night, thought that he would defeat the enemy army outside Zhuang, but he didn't expect to fight hard in the middle of the night, He Xian was defeated, life and death were uncertain, but the enemy outside Zhuang's morale was stronger, ready to attack by victory.

She had a sense of foreboding, and this time she was afraid that there would be more luck than luck. Although the He family manor is very strong, those huge shelves are not good stubble. What made her even more uneasy was the general flag on the other side. There is a phoenix with wings spread on this flag, a black battle flag, a red phoenix, swaying in the morning wind, like a ball of fire, and like a pool of blood.

Yin Ji bit her lip, plucked up her courage, and said softly, "Auntie, or ...... Let's surrender, the Yuan family is powerful, and we can't afford to offend. ”

He Xian's biological mother, Mrs. Zhang, glared at Yin Ji. "What are you afraid of? Although the Yuan family is powerful, Yuan Shu is not the head of the Yuan family, and the heroes of Nanyang do not support him. If we surrender, won't we be the enemy of Nanyang Haoqiang? Even if we want to surrender, we can only surrender to Yuan Shao, not Yuan Shu. She was silent for a long time, and then muttered: "Our He family has already been wrong once, and we can't be wrong again." ”

"Madam, you better go back to the back house, the enemy is about to attack." The trilogy drove Wu Kuang over and bowed down. He was originally He Jin's general, and after He Jin was killed, he escorted Mrs. Zhang and Yin Xian back to Nanyang, won the trust of Mrs. Zhang, and has been serving as a general, responsible for the safety of the manor. He was very good with Yuan Shao, but he had a bad relationship with Yuan Shu, He Xian supported Cao Cao and opposed Yuan Shu, and he played a very key role.

As soon as she saw Wu Kuang, Yin Ji immediately closed her mouth and didn't dare to say a word.

Wu Kuang glanced at it, understood in his heart, and laughed softly: "Madam, young lady, don't worry, the manor is strong, not to mention Sun Ce, even if Yuan Highway comes in person, he won't be able to capture the manor in a few months." Xu Ziyuan has already gone to Yingchuan and Runan, and it won't be long before the reinforcements from the Yuan Alliance Lord will arrive, and we will be safe. ”

"There's General Law." Mrs. Zhang put on a smile on her face, nodded again and again, gave Yin Ji a look, pulled her out of the door, and walked towards the back house. As soon as they went out, they heard the sound of war drums outside the manor, and knew that the big battle was about to start, so they didn't dare to slack off, and quickened their pace into the inner courtyard. Before my feet could step into the door of the inner courtyard, I heard a shrill whistling sound. Yin Ji was taken aback, looked back, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Several dark shadows swept across the sky and fell into the manor, one of them striking a courtyard wall. "Boom-" There was a loud bang, and a large hole was broken in the courtyard wall, and smoke and dust were everywhere. A black shadow rolled in with smoke and dust, and with a loud rumbling sound, rushed towards Yin Ji and Mrs. Zhang.

Yin Ji subconsciously opened her arms to protect Mrs. Zhang. "Auntie, get out of the way—"

Mrs. Zhang remained motionless until Yin Jiao's back hit her, knocking her to the side. A large stone rolled in front of them, crossed half of the courtyard, and hit the courtyard wall opposite, causing the courtyard wall to stagger, and the tiles at the head of the wall fell and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

"Auntie-" Yin Ji turned around and pulled Mrs. Zhang to drink, but found that Mrs. Zhang was staring, her mouth open, and her face distorted. She turned her head along Mrs. Zhang's gaze, and was also stunned.

The Dock Fort where they had just been was was filled with smoke and dust. In the smoke and dust, the dome of the dock fort was gone, and only half of the wall remained. Several figures fell from the dock bunker and let out a frightened scream, one of which seemed to be Wu Kuang's voice.

Yin Ji turned her head and looked at Mrs. Zhang, speechless for a while. "Son, I should have listened to you." Mrs. Zhang muttered, tears welling up in her eyes. "The He family is wrong again, and this last bit of inheritance will be destroyed in my hands."

Yuan Shuteng stood up, raised his hand, and pointed to the main gate of the He family's manor, where only the ruins remained, and he was speechless in shock, just shaking his fingers vigorously. "This ...... What's going on? ”

Lei Bo also looked stupid, his eyes were round, and he didn't know what to say. Like the gate tower, the main gate fort is not built of rammed earth, and it is not as strong and thick as the city wall, but it is also the most vulnerable location, and it is generally built very strong, and the stones thrown by the stone thrower can penetrate the roof or the wall, but it is impossible to have such a destructive power. This battle has just begun, why was the dock castle disabled?

The two of them looked at the stone thrower in unison. That's when they noticed that these stone throwers were not only one size larger than the usual stone throwers, but they also launched differently. When firing, there was no need for anyone to pull it, only one person hit the trigger, and the high wooden arm was thrown up, and the stones thrown were not only large, but also fast, whirring, and the sound of breaking wind could be heard every more than 100 steps.

"Whew! Call! "There were two loud bangs, two boulders flew up in the air, flying more than 300 steps, one of them grazed the wall of the dock fort, and the other was in the middle of the wall, and another was a muffled sound, and the smoke and dust were scattered. The morning breeze blew, blowing away the smoke and dust, revealing the remnants of the dock fort.

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and punched Lei Bo's chest, laughing loudly.

"Haha, Naigong is picking up the treasure-"
