Chapter 130: Exploring the Sea Sand at Night
Came to the small courtyard where Luo Tianwu and others lived, Marco was keeping vigil in the courtyard, and now the Haisha Gang could attack the city at any time, and these people were the main force guarding the city, so they arranged a vigil tonight in order to deal with emergencies at any time.
Seeing Xiang Luyang with a black cloth bag on his shoulder, Marco guessed, "Where is this sacred?" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Penglai Lingyunguan, who broke into the Zhou Ya at night, was captured by Aotian. ”
At this time, Luo Tianwu and the others heard the movement, and also walked out of the room, and when they saw Xiang Luyang's trophies, Luo Tianwu said: "If you continue to arrest like this, I will soon become your private cell." ”
Xiang Luyang smiled and said: "You have been guarding the city wall for a day during the day, don't toss with us, these two thieves, just let Marco deal with it." ”
Luo Tianwu said: "Forget it, that kid is careless, if something goes wrong and lets these boys run away, then we will give up all our efforts." ”
After closing the Yi brothers separately, Luo Tianwu returned to the small courtyard, although the third watch had passed, but after Xiang Luyang's toss, he didn't feel sleepy, sat in the courtyard, and chatted with Xiang Luyang.
The topic of the two has not left the Haisha Gang, because this is the biggest problem they are facing now, and this battle is related to their future development, and everyone dare not take it lightly.
Xiang Luyang spoke first: "I looked at the four city gates at dusk today, and this time the Haisha Gang came with at least 15,000 people. ”
Luo Tianwu said: "I'm not worried about people, we have the city wall as a cover, and their large number of people may not work, but their ten siege planes are a headache." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Yes, although that thing is primitive, it is not much different from the power of artillery, if this thing is allowed to work, Dengzhou City will be worried." ”
Luo Tianwu said: "It would be great if I could find the design drawing of this thing, with the design drawing, I will be able to know the weakness of this thing, and it will be easy to do when the time comes." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Although I don't have the design drawings of this thing, when I was in the military academy, in military history class, I saw the model of this thing, which is actually a simple lever principle. ”
Luo Tianwu said: "Can you let Shen Aotian accompany me to the camp of the Haisha Gang, I want to see these siege machines up close, we will also use this thing in the future, if I can build it, it will save a lot of trouble in the future." ”
Xiang Luyang pondered for a while and said, "It's okay, although there are many people in the camp of the Haisha Gang now, there are almost no masters, and you can estimate that no one will stop you." ”
Luo Tianwu said: "Without further ado, I'll go back to the yamen with you now." ”
After returning to the Yamen, Shen Aotian had already arrested the drunken scholar, and after glancing at the drunken scholar, Xiang Luyang said to Shen Aotian: "Abolish his martial arts and put him in prison." ”
The drunken scholar glanced at Shen Aotian and said, "You dare!" ”
Shen Aotian did not answer, but directly proved with his actions that he dared, and after smashing the drunken scholar's dantian with one palm, Shen Aotian said coldly: "Don't dare or not, you don't say it with your mouth." ”
After ordering the drunken scholar to be put in prison, Xiang Luyang told Shen Aotian about the night visit to the camp of the Haisha Gang, and Shen Aotian said: "I'll go alone, so I don't have to trouble Brother Luo to go with me, and I'm good at drawing." ”
In the past few days, Luo Tianwu also likes Shen Aotian, a young man, knowing that he said this, it is not that he thinks he is burdensome, but that he does not want to take risks with him.
Luo Tianwu patted Shen Aotian on the shoulder and said, "We will go this time, not only to draw pictures, but also to study how this thing is made, and we will also make some of this thing for later use." ”
After the two were ready, Xiang Luyang took back the sniper rifle in Luo Tianwu's hand, handed him a Type 95 semi-automatic rifle, and a steel knife, the pistol they had been carrying with them these days, so Xiang Luyang did not prepare a pistol for Luo Tianwu.
"Today's situation is special, if you encounter an emergency, solve it directly with a gun, don't put your life on the line in order to save bullets."
Luo Tianwu knew what Xiang Luyang was thinking, his night visit to the enemy camp seemed simple, but it was actually dangerous, and he patted Xiang Luyang on the shoulder, "It's not the first time I've performed this kind of mission, don't worry, before dawn, I will definitely come back." ”
Before leaving, Luo Tianwu asked Shen Aotian to bring some fire oil and dozens of incense, although he didn't know what Luo Tianwu was going to do, but Shen Aotian still complied.
As soon as Shen Aotian and Luo Tianwu left the city, there was chaos in the city, the torches lit up the entire Dengzhou City, and the sound of killing came from time to time, and there were still a few places in the city, which had already ignited a fire.
Luo Tianwu knew that Xiang Luyang did it, and the purpose was to create the false impression that they were arresting the drunken scholar and others, so as to distract Hai Lie's attention.
Standing in front of a pile of burning firewood and grass, Xiang Luyang said to Ye Qiushui beside him: "You bring a sniper rifle to the city wall, and you are ready to meet Squad Leader Luo and Aotian at any time." ”
Ye Qiushui knew that Xiang Luyang was worried about Luo Tianwu's safety, although he had a gun with him, but when he encountered a large-scale group fight, Luo Tianwu's gun basically had no advantage at all.
When they came to the camp of the Haisha Gang, the people of the Haisha Gang were also awakened by the fire in the city, and they didn't know what was going on in the city for a while, after all, only a few people knew about the actions of the Yi brothers and the drunken scholars.
Looking at the fires in the city, Hai Lie said to himself, "I hope they don't let me down." ”
Since Luo Tianwu had already seen the location of the siege machine clearly when he was on the city wall, the two of them easily came to the forest where the siege machine was stored.
This forest is the most central area of the Sea Sand Gang's camp, not far from Hai Lie's camp, although he has obvious advantages this time, but Hai Lie still does not dare to be careless.
After carefully bypassing a few patrolling Haisha gang minions, Luo Tianwu and Shen Aotian finally came to the siege plane, and after quietly putting down a few guards, Luo Tianwu began to carefully study these big guys.
This siege machine is four feet high, with a rectangular base at the bottom, and wheels underneath for moving back and forth, although these wheels cannot be turned, limiting the ability of the siege machine to maneuver on the battlefield, but this is not too much of a problem for the primitive cold weapon battlefield.
On the rectangular base, it is supported by four logs, two triangular shelves, two logs connected in the middle of these two shelves, and on the log behind it, is a long lever, behind which is a huge iron pot, and in front is a long rope, which is used for launching.
After carefully observing for a while, Luo Tianwu had already memorized the entire structure of this siege machine in his heart, and Shen Aotian saw that Luo Tianwu had finished observing, and asked softly, "Shall we go back now?" ”
Luo Tianwu shook his head and said, "It's not too late to pour all the fire oil on these siege planes and burn them." ”
Shen Aotian said: "Set fire, wouldn't that expose our whereabouts." ”
Luo Tianwu whispered in Shen Aotian's ear: "Pour on the fire oil, then light the incense, and then put the incense on the fire oil, and when we leave, when the incense burns to a certain distance, it will naturally fall on the fire oil." ”
