Cao's troops besieging Qixian County withdrew one after another.

Only one army remained outside the city.

At the head of the city, Zhang Xiu looked at the Cao army stationed outside the city and asked Jia Xu: "Most of the Cao army has withdrawn, why hasn't one left?" ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and did not say a word.

Standing at the head of the city, it is impossible to see whose command the Cao army is.

He couldn't give Zhang Xiu an exact reply.

Cao's army, which continued to besiege the city, did not attack, and of course was not idle.

Cao Jun's soldiers carried a lot of huge stones and wood, and Cao Jun, who could do carpenter work, was ping-pong.

Outside the city, the Cao army camp was lively.

Zhang Xiujun's soldiers at the head of the city were confused.

Cao Junshuai's account.

Wang Yan was sitting in the bed, and Cao Shuo was holding a bowl and feeding her one bite at a time.

"I can do it myself." After taking two bites, Wang Yan said a little embarrassed: "Actually, my injuries are much better." ”

"It's okay to lie to others, and can you fool me?" Cao Shuo said: "I have suffered more injuries than you have ever seen. ”

Wang Yan pursed her lips.

Since she met Cao Shuo, the second son of the Cao family has not been injured decently.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" After another bite of food, Wang Yan asked.

The sound of banging outside the tent was really disturbing.

Cao Shuo said: "This is just the beginning, in a few days things are built, you will know what noise is." ”

"Noise?" Wang Yan asked, "What's that?" ”

"Noise is loud sound." Cao Shuo said: "These are not important, if the sound outside upsets you, you cover your ears." ”

"It's more annoying to always cover your ears." Wang Yan said: "I really want to go out for a walk." ”

"It's so badly injured, don't even think about going anywhere." Cao Shuo said: "You are by my side, there is still a big battle to be fought in a few days, and I will ask someone to take you farther away to watch the battle." ”

"If my injuries had healed by then...... Wang Yan wanted to persuade Cao Shuo to let her go to the battlefield again.

"Addicted to killing?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Nope." Wang Yan lowered her head, her cheeks flushed slightly: "I just want to share your worries......"

"I'm really worried when you're on the battlefield." Cao Shuo said: "If I go out again in the future, none of you are allowed to follow." ”

"Childe thinks I'm a burden?" Wang Yan raised her head and looked at him.

"Of course not." Cao Shuo said: "Although your swordsmanship is good, and you dare to go into battle to kill the enemy now, you are my woman after all." I can't control other people's women, and my women can't be hurt in the slightest. ”

After feeding Wang Yan a mouthful of food, Cao Shuo said: "I am really guilty that you were injured this time. I said I wanted to protect you, but I got you seriously injured because of me. ”

"Childe is good at everything, but it's not good to be too domineering." Wang Yan said: "Although I am a woman, I also want to do something for my son. In fact, it's not just me, my sisters and sisters all think the same way, and there is no woman who doesn't want her husband to have a bright future. ”

"You finally admit that I'm a husband?" Cao Shuo smiled sheepishly.

Wang Yan blushed and didn't say anything more.

After feeding Wang Yan and eating, Cao Shuo just asked the guards to enter the tent to clean up the bowl, and Pang Tong came outside the tent.

"Catapults have been built." Pang Tong said outside the tent: "Do you want to go and see?" ”

"I'm going to see the catapult." Cao Shuo said to Wang Yan: "You have a good rest, when your body is better, we still have important things to do." ”

Knowing that he was not serious, Wang Yan pursed her lips and did not say anything.

Walking out of the tent, Cao Shuo asked Pang Tong, "How many are built?" ”

"Hui Gongzi." Pang Tong said: "Only one will be built." ”

"Let's take a look." Cao Shuo took Pang Tong and walked to the place where the catapult was built.

Cao Jun, who knew how to carpenter, stood beside the catapult, curiously watching this behemoth.

The height of the catapult extends beyond the city wall of Qixian not far away.

Its base is fixed to the ground, and there are no wheels underneath, making it impossible to move by propulsion.

The giant stone-throwing arm is flanked by several long logs.

This design is conducive to the weight of the stone when throwing stones, the weight of the stones will not be concentrated on the slender catapult arm, and the service life and frequency of use will be greatly increased.

Cao Shuo came to the catapult, and the onlookers dispersed.

"Childe, do you want to give it a try?" Pang Tong asked.

"Of course you have to try." Cao Shuo said: "Follow the city wall of Yuxian County!" ”

The catapult was built, and the soldiers were waiting for the behemoth to exert its power.

Cao Shuo's order was given, and someone immediately brought a huge stone.

The stone was fastened to the catapult.

A Cao army centurion shouted, "Pull! ”

More than a dozen Cao soldiers used all their strength to drag the long arm of the catapult to the ground and droop.

"Spread out!" The centurion shouted again.

Cao Jun, who pulled the rope and dragged the long arm down, scattered one after another.

"Put!" With an order, a Cao Junmeng pulled the rope that fixed the long arm.

The long slinging arm first squeaked, and then threw the stone with a "boom".

Huge stones tumbled and flew towards the city walls.

Zhang Xiujun at the head of the city looked at the boulders flying from Cao Jun's camp, and they were all stunned.

They couldn't figure out how Cao Jun could throw such a huge stone.

Zhang Xiujun, who was stunned, didn't react at all to dodge.

With a loud "boom", the stone hit the city wall.

Zhang Xiujun at the head of the city only felt like an earthquake and shook.

"What's going on?" After the tremor, Zhang Xiu ran to the battlements and looked at Cao Jun's camp.

"Returning to the general." A Zhang Xiujun reported: "I didn't know what demon method the enemy used just now, but a huge stone flew over." Fortunately, it only smashed the city wall, and there were no casualties. ”

Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu in amazement.

Jia Xu was also at a loss.

He had never heard of a way to throw a huge rock out and throw it that far.

The two of them were at a loss, and one Zhang Xiujun shouted: "General, look, come and see again!" ”

Looking at Cao Jun's camp, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu really saw a huge stone flying in the air, flying towards the city wall.

With another roar, the boulder slammed into the walls again.

The violent tremor made Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu almost unable to stand firm.

"Keep an eye out for enemy forces and watch out for boulders." Zhang Xiu shouted: "Don't stick your head out, don't want to die?" ”

Zhang Xiujun at the head of the city came back to his senses, and looked at Cao Jun's camp vigilantly one by one, waiting for the arrival of the next boulder.

However, they did not wait.

The catapult threw two boulders one after another, and the stones smashed white smoke on the city wall.

Looking at the place where the white smoke gradually dissipated, Cao Shuo said: "Yes, the head is okay." The role of the catapult was to blow down the walls. Continue to build, build thirty or fifty crosses. (To be continued.)
