"Huh? Something doesn't seem right. Riding on a horse, he suddenly found some strange forms of guarding equipment on the head of Lin Cheng City, and he was a little puzzled.

It is said that after the Qin army stormed for a day, Lian Wu's mood can be described in one sentence, which may be that he guessed the beginning, but did not guess the ending.

The ill who did not play his cards according to common sense launched three charges at Lin Cheng again and again, and on the same day. This is completely different from the combat strategy of the two armies fighting and testing first. The defenders of Lin City were not prepared for this kind of high-intensity battle, and were almost breached by the Qin army on the first day. relied on his strict training of the defenders of Lin City in the past few years, and barely held the city. After the war, six of the sixteen bed crossbows were damaged, and nearly 3,000 soldiers of all kinds were lost, and it was only one day later.

Lian Wu was very puzzled by the Qin army's attack regardless of casualties, but soon, the answer was revealed: on the second day, about 10,000 or so Qin troops came to reinforce them, so that the overall size of the Qin army reached 50,000! Lian Wu also had to ask Jinyang and Handan for help. However, whether it is Jinyang or Handan, it is temporarily impossible to arrange large-scale troops to come to reinforcements, because the North Route Army was used by Li Yan to attack Zhongshan, and Pang Cong's South Road also sent troops from Handan, taking away a large number of soldiers. Zhao Yong had no choice but to order Niu Jian to arrange for the soldiers of Yunzhong and Wuyuan counties to cross the river and attack the upper counties of Qin to relieve the pressure on Lin Cheng.

This also means that with only a few reinforcements, Lian Wu has to hold Lin City. The importance of Lin Cheng was that if it was lost, Zhao would lack an effective crossing if he wanted to cross the Yellow River westward, and the Qin army would be free to enter and leave the hinterland of Qin. In any case, Lin Cheng must not lose. With such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, it is no wonder that Lian Wu is having trouble sleeping.

Just two days after the siege ended, a mysterious person appeared in front of Lian Wu.

The people who came looked at Lian Wu, and Lian Wu also looked at him. The two looked at each other, as if they wanted to know, what was going on in each other's minds?

"I haven't asked the gentleman for a name yet." Lian Wu asked first.

"Belly?"

"Belly?" Lian Wu chewed on this strange name, as if he had heard it from somewhere, "I don't know why Mr. wants to see him." ”

"For the sake of defending the city, of course." The answer was still very succinct.

When Lian Wu heard this, he immediately felt a little strange. If it was simply for the purpose of defending the city, there was no need to come to see him, he could sign up directly from the township party, but this person actually asked to see him, which is obviously not a small matter.

"I don't know what talent Mr. has to help defend the city below."

"Without him, only the tricks and tricks can help the general and resist the strong Qin."

"Tricks and tricks?" Lian Wu suddenly came to his senses, no wonder he felt that this person's name was so familiar, it turned out that this person was a giant of the Mo family.

It is said that since he had a debate with Zhao Yong in Qi State, he would never agree with Zhao Yong's words. He is a staunch son of the Mo family, and believes that only the Mozi master's "love and non-attack" can save the world. It's just that Zhao Yong's argument is unparalleled, and he has the upper hand. Since then, he has traveled the world with suspicion of Zhao Yong, continuing to practice Mozi's ideals, while also observing the changes in Zhao Guo. In the past few years, the children of the Mo family have still been fighting fires everywhere, and every time they complete such a mission, war comes unexpectedly. At this time, I can always think of Zhao Yong's words.

Later, under Shiyi City, Zhao Yong buried the Zhongshan guards, and the belly appeared quietly, and this time, Zhao Yong used an example to illustrate his original intention. I have to say that it was these two conversations that made Yu Yu begin to wonder about the theory of the Mo family, whether it was right for the Mo family to do this.

"It turned out to be a giant of the Mo family, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Lian Wu hurriedly let this person go to the top. You must know that the Mo family's tricks can be said to dominate the world, and every time they rely on these so-called "strange skills", many cities that are about to be attacked will turn defeat into victory. I have to say that when he came to Lin Cheng at this time, he was like Gan Lin, which brought the hope of victory to the restless Lian Wu.

"I don't know sir, is there any token to prove?" Lian Wu said cautiously, this is no joke, who knows if the Mo family giant in front of him is real, what if it is a spy sent by the Qin State?

Belly Chu didn't care, took out a swarthy thing from his sleeve, and handed it to Lian Wu. Lian Wu took it with both hands and looked at it. I saw that this thing was not gold or stone, but it was dark but it didn't look like it was painted, the body was like this, and in the middle of this thing, there was an ink word written.

"This is my Mo family giant's order, and only the Mo family giant is qualified to use this thing. This order is made by Mo Zhai Patriarch to get a black jade, which is rare in the world and cannot be faked. In addition, "Belly took out another thing from his sleeve. This thing is very ordinary, it is a piece of jade made of topaz, and the end is very exquisite. "This is a gift from the king of Zhao, it is said that with this jade, you can pass through the city of Handan Wang. If the general does not believe it, he can send this token to Handan to check the authenticity. ”

"Not necessarily." Lian Wu respectfully returned the giant order to the belly, and handed over Zhao Yong's jade bi. Although he is still very suspicious of the identity of the belly, as long as he is strictly monitored, he must not be able to make trouble. What's more, just by seeing if this person can create a guardian weapon, you can know the truth and falsehood. "I don't know how Mr. will help the last general when he comes this time."

"The children of the Mo family are proficient in the art of organs, so they naturally use the skills of organs to help the generals." The belly replied lukewarmly, "For example, the bed crossbow on the head of Lin Cheng City, with the technique of my Mo family's mechanism, it can not only be repaired, but also transformed into a three-arrow concurrent weapon, and the power is naturally much higher than now." ”

Lian Wu was even more overjoyed when he heard this, Lin Cheng's bed crossbow was damaged, and he could not find a craftsman to repair it, and the power of defending the city was greatly reduced. Now that he has come, he has not only promised to help repair it, but also can be transformed into a three-arrow bed crossbow, and he has more certainty in defending the city.

"In addition, the disciples of the Mo family will also create some guarding weapons, but they still need the general to allocate thousands of soldiers to help."

"It's nature." Lian Wu said, "I just don't know, how long does it take for Mr. to build these devices?" ”

"If there are enough people, it can be done in three days."

"In this way, the safety of Lin Cheng will be handed over to Mr."

In this way, Lian Wu asked Lin Xiangru to lead 3,000 soldiers to join the children of the Mo family in the belly, and began to build a weapon for Lin Cheng. This is the strange scene that I saw today.

"These instruments are strange and unusual, not like the average craftsman can build. Could it be..."

"It's the Mo family." "I'm afraid that only the Mo family has such a highly skilled technique. Otherwise, how could Zhao Guo repair the bed crossbow so quickly. And its power is incomparable. ”

Wei Zhang nodded, indeed, he also wanted to say just now that the only one with such ability is the Mo family. "I didn't expect to meet the children of the Mo family here. It seems that this battle will not be easy to win. ”

He didn't respond to Wei Zhang, but from his frowning brow, it could be seen that he was also in doubt about the victory in this battle.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the war, in the face of the Qin army's attack, the Zhao army's defensive equipment played a huge role.

The Qin army's siege habit was naturally to use bows and crossbows as the vanguard to suppress the enemy, but this time, according to the advice of the disciples of the Mo family, the Zhao army used a pole to support the curtain outside the city wall. The so-called cloth curtain is to fold the silk in half, and then use a pole to support the silk outside the city wall about two or three feet. Through this layer of barrier, the Qin army's crossbow arrows could only shoot at the city wall, but could not cross the curtain and attack the Zhao army behind the curtain. In addition, the bow and stone slings are cushioned by the curtain, and their momentum is buffered, and the damage to the city wall is much smaller. What's more, after the Zhao army laid a curtain, a layer of wooden curtains was laid on the city wall, so that all the crossbow arrows against the city head were shot on the wooden curtain, which could not only effectively reduce the attack damage, but also recover the Qin army's crossbow arrows, which was extremely ingenious.

Faced with this situation, he could only order all the crossbow arrows to be replaced with rockets, and tried to burn the cloth and wooden curtains. However, since this kind of cloth curtain is used as a protective weapon, it naturally has some fire prevention function, and the fire of crossbow arrows is not enough to burn the cloth curtain. This has to be said that the magic of the Mojia machine technique, not only can come up with such a strangely shaped defensive thing, but also pay attention to practice, taking into account all kinds of environments, it is really ingenious.

Seeing that the rocket had little effect, his original calm mood became slightly agitated. He waved the command flag, and the ladder cart in the rear of the Qin army and the siege vehicle in front started at the same time, and they marched towards the city of Lin City with a roar. And Zhao Jun was not cowardly, and the rolling stone sasser that had been prepared long ago smashed down mercilessly. But this time, the belly made Zhao Jun wedge some sharp protrusions on top of the sassa, and let people use hemp rope to help the sassanine hang down in the back. This not only saves wood, but also can effectively kill and injure enemy troops, which is simply inexpensive.

"If there is no gentleman, I am afraid this Lin City will not be able to hold it."

Inside the enemy tower, Lian Wu watched the casualties of the Qin army continue to rise, while the losses of the Zhao army were very limited, and his eyebrows fluttered with joy.

"Children of the Mo family, it's just their duty." "However, if you just rely on these to let the Qin army retreat, I'm afraid it's a fool's dream." ”

Lian Wu restrained his smile, "Not bad." I'm afraid that the generals of the Qin army are also thinking about the way to break the city at this moment. If the attack continues in this way, the Qin army will not only invest huge troops, but also the casualties will continue to increase. Lian Wu said, looking at the Qin State army formation not far away, where his opponent this time, what was he thinking?

"General." Outside Lin Cheng, Wei Zhang was also thinking about the same problem as Lian Wu, and he also wanted to know what kind of way to break the city was being planned at the moment.

"Mingjin, collect the troops." Yu Li said lightly.

Today I drank a friend's happy noodles, came back drunk, drank two cups of strong tea to have some spirits, update too late, forgive sins.
