Bamboo stone throwing machine, the first time in the history of the three emperors and five emperors. It's flexible, but its projectile ability is like a child's slingshot - it can only hit birds.

On the opposite side is the 30,000 Xichuan army on Fuzhou City, they have followed Wang Jian to conquer Xichuan since the Zhaozong period, and their combat effectiveness is all outstanding.

Xiao Nuoyan was so tidy and seemed confident, but Hu Huaishan and Zheng Shi were still not at ease.

Batches of bamboos were transported from the mountains behind Gangneung to the city, and craftsmen began to make this pediatric single-tip stone throwing machine.

This kind of single-tip stone throwing machine is simple to make, a few bamboos are put together, a bundle of hemp rope, and the object is thrown with the power of bamboo bullets, which is simple and effective.

Of course, this means that within a few tens of pounds, the lighter the object, the better the elasticity, and the higher and farther the projectile.

But it can't be done by throwing boulders, Hu Huaishan experimented, and it was only less than a hundred steps away to throw a stone the size of a pot lid. And the landing is weak, although the Fuzhou city wall is short, let alone can be thrown on the city wall.

But what Xiao Promise wants is this effect, don't be able to throw huge objects, as long as the elasticity is large, twenty or thirty pounds of things are the best.

Soon, dozens of bamboo stone throwers were made. In fact, this thing to be done can be completed in seven days, but Hu Huaishan deliberately delayed it for a few days in order to wait for a letter from the imperial court in the capital. Xiao Nuoyan sent someone to urge, but Hu Huaishan only said that in order to ensure quality and quantity, it could only be completed in seven days.

Zhao Fangzhu's work in the vegetable greenhouse was in full swing, and the people were also dark and strong, compared to the previous weakness, they were like two people.

Li Ji took Youwei to inspect the construction of the greenhouse, and Zhu Youneng accompanied him.

"Fang Zhu, I see you're doing really well, what kind of thing is this?" Li Ji fell in love with a newly built greenhouse.

This greenhouse is different from the others, first of all, it is almost three meters high. The roof is made of wooden beams, all made of daylight glass, and a layer of reed mats is laid on the glass, presumably to keep warm at night.

Speaking of this, Zhao Fangzhu was elated: "Your Majesty, this is a new thing that the minister has recently studied. Chen has been thinking, this vegetable greenhouse only grows some winter vegetables, why not also plant some melons and fruits. Especially in the southern generation, Jiangnan lychees are delicious and tight. ”

Li Ji was overjoyed when he heard this: "You mean that you can grow some fruits such as lychees, peaches, pears, and cherries in the greenhouse?"

Zhao Fang nodded one by one: "Exactly, Your Majesty, please see, the minister also made a flue in this shed." The charcoal in Huangling Mountain is really good, and when the heating is insufficient in winter, you can also burn the charcoal to keep warm. The minister went to persuade the peasant envoy Han Ehan to learn some temperature control skills, so that we can grow fruits in the south in the north, and we can also eat fresh melons and fruits in winter. ”

Zhu Youneng also said on the side: "Brother Li, this thing is a money-burning business. We can only build this one greenhouse, and the melons and fruits in this greenhouse are exclusively for the palace. ”

"Oh, you mean for me?"

Zhao Fangzhu smiled: "Exactly, the vegetables are simple, but the production cost of the out-of-season melons and fruits on this tree is a little higher." The minister discussed with Zhu Gongzi and built such a shed for the palace. ”

Li Ji nodded: "You have a heart, there are more kinds of lychees, the queen loves to eat them."

Zhang Wanxi, like Yang Guifei, loves lychees. However, with this greenhouse, Li Ji no longer has to ride the red dust concubine like Xuanzong, and no one knows that it is Lychee who is coming.

"Fang Zhu, you've been here for a few days, it's time to go home and have a look." Li Ji said.

Zhao Fangzhu hurriedly bowed: "The minister is about to go home today, and my father has sent someone to write a letter."

"Oh, why is Zhao Aiqing in such a hurry to recruit you back?"

Zhao Fangzhu was a little twisted: "This, this is said to be a family affair for the minister, and I want to go back to this, blind date."

"Hahahaha......" Li Ji and Zhu Youneng laughed together, Li Ji smiled and said, "If that's the case, don't hurry back, go, Pikachu."

Zhu Youneng also waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go, Your Majesty and I are going to fight crickets."

Zhao Fang bowed down one by one, and Zhu Youneng turned his head and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Li, what kind of hill do you say you are going to here, what does this mean?"

"Well, go Pikachu is an overseas language, which translates to blessing." Li Ji blinked.

Zhu Youneng was still muttering, "Go, Pikachu!" Walk you! ”

"Your Majesty, Gangneung Urgent!" Fuquan ran over in a panic, out of breath along the way, and it seemed that he didn't dare to delay for a moment when he saw the emergency report.

Li Ji opened the letter, looked at it a few times and couldn't help laughing: "This Jiangling Hu Huaishan couldn't help it, and even played a copy of Xiao Promise." This Xiao promise is also, it must be a betrayal to him. Bring me pen and paper, and I'll write back to him! ”

Zhu Youneng is extremely smart, and he doesn't interject when Li Ji talks about these state affairs. Even if Li Ji was talking to himself here, he wouldn't ask why.

If you don't participate in politics or discuss politics, you can live a long and chic life. I, Zhu Youneng, am not interested in power, only in all evil money.

When Zhao Fangzhu returned home, Liu Dewang, the young eunuch, had already brought his little daughter to wait in the house.

Although the Tang people are open, this blind date is still conservative. Besides, this female dependent is even more inappropriate to show her face, so Liu Dewang's youngest daughter visited Mrs. Zhao in the name of entering the house, although she has no half-dime relationship with Zhao Zhanguo's wife.

And the men and women can't talk when they meet, they can only meet in a hurry, and then Liu Dewang and Zhao Zhanguo greet each other.

When they met for the first time, Zhao Fangzhu was extremely satisfied. This Liu Dewang gave birth to a beautiful daughter, but he was afraid that he was not worthy of others.

And when Liu Dewang's youngest daughter saw Zhao Fangzhu for the first time, she was basically satisfied. The young talent in front of him with a slightly dark face was polite, and although he didn't talk much, he behaved decently. She didn't know that the previous Zhao Fangchai was a puddle of mud.

No surprise, the two family affairs can basically be determined.

Fuzhou,

The letter from the imperial court that Hu Huaishan had been waiting for for several days finally came, but what he was waiting for was not the edict of the Son of Heaven, but the edict of the Son of Heaven.

The edict was indeed as Xiao Promise said, and the emperor did not blame Xiao Promise, but praised him for his ability to improvise. ordered Jiangling to assassinate Shi Hu Huaishan and the military envoy Zheng Shi, no matter what happened, they must fully assist Xiao Nuoyan, and nothing else should be asked.

"How?" Zheng Shi hurriedly asked.

Hu Huaishan sighed and gave him the edict: "Look for yourself, it seems that we are too careful, maybe this General Xiao really has a way to capture Fuzhou City."

Zheng Shi looked at it over and over again: "Even Your Majesty said so, but, I'm still strange, what do you say this stone thrower can do."

"Have you seen those soldiers brought by General Xiao, have you seen those copper bumps hanging from their waists?"

Zheng Shi shook his head: "I haven't seen it, I asked a soldier, but he refused to say."

Hu Huaishan whispered: "That's right, the Mabu army that came this time is full of weirdness, you see the truckload of things covered with linoleum cloth in their army, no one is allowed to see it." I guess it's these things inside that are the magic weapon to defeat the enemy. ”

Zheng Shi also understood a little: "Oh, that means that those things in their car are the throwing objects used by the stone throwing car, not stones?"

Hu Huaishan nodded: "Eighty percent yes, you think that if you use boulders, let alone seven days, you can't build so many stone throwing cars in three months." Whatever, since the Son of Heaven said so, let's wait and see. ”

Zheng Shi also nodded: "However, I still have a little drum in my heart."

"Master Hu, is the stone throwing truck ready?" Xiao Nuoyan took his subordinates directly to the Assassin's Mansion.

Hu Huaishan hurriedly came out to greet him: "Oh, General Xiao, the two hundred stone-throwing trucks are all ready, and they can be requisitioned at any time."

Xiao Nuoyan smiled: "Thank you so much, Master Hu, let's go, let's go to the school to try the power of the stone throwing car."

Hu Huaishan and Zheng Shi glanced at each other, and Zheng Shi asked, "What does General Xiao mean, try the effect?"

"Let's go, haven't you two always thought it strange that I had done so much of my tricks. Today, General Ben will let you see how powerful these tricks are. Saying that, Xiao Nuoyan pulled the two of them away.

On campus, more than a dozen stone-throwing trucks are ready. Xiao Nuoyan took his subordinates, and sure enough, someone pulled over a cart of things covered with oilcloths.

Hu Huaishan and Zheng Shi were very strange, they couldn't figure out what Xiao Nuoyan was doing.

The tarpaulin was lifted, revealing a bag of cotton thread in the car.

The gunpowder packets, with a lead attached to one end, were moved out.

Next to each chariot stood several soldiers, some of whom were responsible for calibration, some of them were responsible for pulling the ropes, and some were responsible for igniting the fire.

Seeing some soldiers holding torches, Zheng Shi suddenly felt that he suddenly understood: "Oh, I know, General Xiao wants to attack with fire?"

Xiao Nuoyan smiled: "Fuzhou City is full of stone walls, and the lethality of fire attacks against the enemy is limited, how can you break the city?"

Zheng Shi thought about it, it was true, but what the hell was like this, he really couldn't figure it out.

Xiao Nuoyan did not continue to speak, but waved his hand, and the flag-bearer next to him issued a commanding flag.

The igniter ignited the gunpowder lead, and the gunpowder sparked, and the axe hand next to him cut the rope of the stone-throwing machine that had been positioned long ago.

"Whew!" With a bang, the catapult force of the stone thrower instantly ejected the gunpowder pack. Due to its light weight, the gunpowder pack was easily bounced into the air and then landed with a thud.

Just when Hu Huaishan and Zheng Shi didn't have time to be inexplicable, they immediately followed "Boom! With a bang, the gunpowder bag exploded, and the sound was like thunder, and the whole city shook.

Hu Huaishan was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and Zheng Shi turned around on the ground looking for his hat that fell on the ground.

Except for Ma Bujun, the remaining Jiangling soldiers who were officials were all frightened and frightened, and their faces were like earth.

It's fucking scary, what the hell is this.

However, more terrifying was still to come, and then more than a dozen other stone-throwing trucks threw out gunpowder packets, 'Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The sound continued, and a row of stone walls in front of it disappeared.

Hu Huaishan was just about to get up from the ground, but he was immediately frightened and fell to the ground again, and many Jiangling soldiers who had never seen gunpowder also fell down.

Putting aside the power, just this deafening explosion can see that the three souls can scare you two souls, and the seven spirits scare you three.

"This, this, youkai!" Zheng Shi sat on the ground trembling and pointed to the stone wall that had been blown down.
