When Bai Qi woke up, Su Xiangyun was no longer around, it was too late last night, Bai Qi actually slept until noon, which can be regarded as a rare lazy sleep in these days.
"Think of the clouds!" Bai Qi, who sat up, habitually called a sentence, and changed to Bai Qi sleeping late in Su Xiangyun on weekdays, as long as he got up and shouted, Su Xiangyun would appear in time. But today is an exception, Bai Qi shouted and didn't move, and shouted a few more times but still didn't answer.
Bai Qi got up suspiciously, and when he got up, he reached out and pressed Su Xiangyun's pillow, feeling a burst of dampness on his hand, Bai Qi's heart tightened, and after picking up the neatly folded clothes on the table next to the bed and putting them on, he found a letter on the table, judging from the handwriting, it was from Su Xiangyun's handwriting.
Unfolding the letterhead, Su Xiangyun's handwriting appeared on the paper, "Say goodbye to you temporarily, not what the concubine wants, this time Liang hopes to be able to turn the war into a jade silk, if the wish can't be fulfilled, since the fate with the king has ended, the parting is in a hurry, I don't know what to do." The concubine wants to be on the clouds. ”
Bai Qi couldn't help but feel anxious when he read the letter, and scolded Su Xiangyun in his heart. At the moment, Su Yuncheng is a dog who has been forced into a corner, and he has even done the thing of colluding with Zhang Chu to betray the country, can he be persuaded to surrender with Su Xiangyun's words?
Bai Qi didn't care about washing, and rushed to the city gate like a whirlwind, but the soldiers guarding the gate reported that Su Xiangyun went out when he opened the city gate in the morning, even if he was making an ox cart, he could get to the place now. When Bai Qi reluctantly returned to his residence, someone had already come to report that Xie Donghai had asked to see him, and he had been waiting here for a while.
Xie Donghai is a person that Bai Qi values, and this guy has a lot of tricks in his head. I don't know if there are any new tricks to come to Bai Qi's treasure. Although Bai Qi was not in a very good mood, he still met Donghai in the study.
"East China Sea! What's the matter with being in such a hurry to find me? Bai Qi adjusted his mood and faced Xie Donghai with a smile on his face.
"Lord. In fact, I also made a thing when I was in Jiezhou, that is, it was too big, and I was busy for a long time after the bulk shipment came, and I only got it done today, so I didn't come to ask you to take a look. ”
What is it again? Bai Qi's mind was full of Su Xiangyun's affairs at this time, and he was not in much mood to see it, but looking at Xie Donghai's hopeful expression, he couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm, so he nodded and followed Xie Donghai to the playground.
Xie Donghai is indeed not wrong. This thing is big enough, it should be said to be huge. The base, which is about ten meters long and six or seven meters wide, has two rows of iron-cast wheels underneath, and the height of the long pole is at least fifteen meters if it is facing vertically. What is this? After Bai Qi looked at it carefully and carefully, he finally tentatively confirmed that this was a super-large catapult, which looked a bit like the giant catapult in the previous computer game Empire 2.
"Catapult?" Bai Qi turned his head and asked Xie Donghai, who had been following him. Xie Donghai rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Exactly, my lord is wise, this is the giant catapult carefully built by his subordinates." ”
With such a big catapult, what does Xie Donghai want to do? If this thing really works, it's hugely powerful. But where did Bai Qi go to find these many big stones to throw at him? Bai Qi's first feeling was that this thing was not very practical.
Bai Qi patiently asked Donghai again: "How to use this thing, and how big of a stone should I use?" ”
Xie Donghai saw Bai Qi and asked the right question. He proudly waved his hand at the people next to him and said, "Push me up." ”
To say that there are indeed a lot of strange things in Donghai's mind, and after a while, I saw a dozen or so men pushing a wheelbarrow in, each with a big black iron ball.
Xie Donghai led Bai Qi to the front of the car and said, "Lord, this giant catapult doesn't use stones, it uses this special big watermelon." ”
Bai Qi took a closer look. Now I understand, this is a big bomb, there are leads on it, in order to protect the leads, bamboo pipes are also used, the leads are out of the bamboo pipes, and the outside is wrapped in beeswax, which is to prevent moisture.
Before Bai Qi could speak, Xie Donghai had already proudly introduced: "Lord, I have tested this catapult in Jiezhou, and it can at least smash out three miles, and it is best to use our special big watermelon to blow up the city wall." ”
Bai Qiyi said in his heart that there are dozens of catties of explosives in this iron watermelon, plus the weight of iron, the whole adds up to at least one hundred and fifty catties, and it is not a big hole to smash, but the walls of Duliang City are built with hundreds of catties of bluestone, can dozens of catties of explosives work? Thinking about the city wall that the Hunan army used thousands of catties of explosives to blow up when it attacked Nanjing in the history of the previous life, it is estimated that it is not realistic to pin the hope of blowing up the city wall on this thing.
Although he couldn't blow up the city wall, Bai Qi still felt that this thing should be useful, but he didn't think of a way for a while, no matter what, let's test it first and see how powerful it is.
"I think this thing is good, pull it out and throw a few first, I'll see how it works." After Bai Qi gave the order, he was bent on performing in front of Bai Qi, and immediately asked people to start removing the main lever and main support, otherwise let alone blowing up Duliang City, and even the gate of Yulong Pass would not want to go out.
Xie Donghai's subordinates are estimated to be skilled, and it didn't take much effort to dismantle it, and then find horses to lead the big guy out of the city.
An hour later, under the protection of thousands of cavalry, this giant catapult towered outside the city of Duliang, and immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers in the city, and after the experience of the first bombing, the defenders now smelled the danger, some went to report, and some began to find a place to hide.
When Su Yuncheng saw Su Xiangyun come back suddenly, he was also very surprised. I haven't received information from Su Xiangyun for a long time, and I'm wondering if what Su Xiangyun did was discovered by Bai Qi, and Bai Qi controlled Su Xiangyun. Early in the morning, a soldier came to report that a woman outside the city asked to enter the city, and said that it was Su Yuncheng's daughter.
Su Yuncheng personally went to the city to take a look, it was really Su Xiangyun, and when he saw that there was no ambush around, he put down the drawbridge and let Su Xiangyun in.
Although the son-in-law is now on the opposite side of her husband, Li Liping is still very happy when she heard that her daughter is back, and she went to the door in person to pick it up, Su Xiangyun immediately pulled Su Xiangyun to talk all the time after she got home, and Su Yuncheng, who had always wanted to ask her daughter, had no chance. finally waited until lunch, and Su Yuncheng had the opportunity to talk to his daughter alone.
"Why hasn't there been any intelligence sent recently, why did you come back suddenly." Su Yuncheng asked very bluntly, obviously very dissatisfied with Su Xiangyun's recent performance, now it is a life-and-death moment for Su Yuncheng, Su Xiangyun came back at this time, Su Yuncheng is equivalent to losing an eyeliner arranged by Bai Qi's side, which is called how Su Yuncheng is not annoyed.
Facing Su Yuncheng's questioning, Su Xiangyun seemed very calm, his expression was not shocked, and he replied in a tepid tone: "Father, I have always lived according to your arrangement, and now I want to live my own life, so I will come back." ”
"What? Put credit in front of me? Su Yuncheng's face sank, and his tone became cold.
"I'm telling the truth, since I was fifteen years old, for you and me, I have befriended the scholars in the capital everywhere, and come forward to organize various gatherings. Not to mention that I helped you catch other people's handles, so how many high-ranking officials in the capital submitted to you? Although Su Xiangyun was still using honorifics, his tone was no longer very polite, this was the first time in his life that Su Xiangyun had spoken to Su Yuncheng in such a tone.
Su Yuncheng's face changed several times, and finally suppressed his emotions, and said with a cold face: "I think you are completely in love with Bai Qi's kid, right?" That's why they came back against me. ”
Su Xiangyun smiled miserably when he heard this, looked at Su Yuncheng and said, "Father, what you said is right, in fact, I have always loved him." But I didn't come back this time to help him, but to save you, you may not know, Su An and the Hun princess have fallen into the hands of my husband Jun Bai Qi, your collusion with Zhang Chu and the plot to betray the country have been exposed, can't you think about it calmly, even if it is not for me and my mother, for yourself. Do you think this battle is still necessary? ”
Su Yuncheng finally couldn't help it, slammed the table and said: "One mouthful, one husband, do you still have my father in your eyes, how much effort I have put in for today over the years, you can ignore your father and brother for a man, and come back to Bai Qi as a lobbyist, it is really a good daughter I born." ”
Su Xiangyun listened to Su Yuncheng's words calmly, the expression on his face never changed, what to face when he came back, Su Xiangyun had thought about it, if he didn't even have a peaceful mind, how could he persuade Su Yuncheng to give up resistance?
"Father, you're so excited, I think we'll talk about it today." Su Xiangyun stood up, turned around and left. Seeing Su Xiangyun like this, Su Yuncheng was even more furious, and waved his hand excitedly and shouted, "Someone!" ”
Several soldiers suddenly poured in outside the door, and Su Yuncheng pointed at Su Xiangyun and said, "This unfilial daughter will lock me up." The soldiers listened but didn't dare to do it, after all, Su Xiangyun was Su Yuncheng's daughter, the soldiers hesitated to look at Su Yuncheng, Su Yuncheng was even more angry, and shouted with a black face: "Do you want me to do it myself?" ”
The soldiers surrounded Su Xiangyun at this time, but Su Xiangyun didn't panic at all and said, "You don't have to bother, just say, where to go?" I'll just go myself. ”
At this moment, a loud noise was heard in the city, and a huge vibration caused the dust on the beams of the house to fall down. Su Yuncheng was frightened, and was about to ask what happened below, but someone had already reported in a panic outside: "Oh no, Prime Minister, Bai Qi's Xie Zhou Army has made a huge strange guy outside the city, and he is smashing things inside." ”
The report was too urgent, Su Yuncheng didn't hear it clearly, there was another loud muffled sound, this time the movement was even greater, the shaking floor shook for a while, Su Yuncheng also shook it, listening to this sound, it should have fallen not far away.
