Outside Jiameng Pass, the two thousand Rui soldiers of the Sky Wolf Camp have already set up canvas tents one after another.

In the chaotic footsteps, Qu Bucai and Tang Tong walked into Xiang Zhuang's account with more than a dozen local heroes, Qu Bucai first waved to Xiang Zhuang, and then pointed to more than a dozen local heroes behind him and said to Xiang Zhuang: "General, these are local heroes in Langzhong, and they are organizing people to rush the door panels, wood, and iron nails here." ”

Qu Bucai's voice fell, and more than a dozen heroes shouted loudly: "We will never disgrace our lives." ”

Xiang Zhuang returned the salute and asked Tang Tong: "Brother Tang Tong, can you find some craftsmen to come?" ”

Tang Channel: "I don't know what craftsmen the general wants?" ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "It's best to be a weaponsmith, if you really can't find it, a carpenter can do it." ”

Tang Channel: "The general is the right person, our Tang family has been a carpenter for generations, hundreds of people in the clan, all of them can do carpenter work, don't dare to say anything else, at least in Bashu, there is no other craft that can beat our Tang family." ”

"This dare is good!" Xiang Zhuang said happily, "Then there will be the Lao Tangtong brothers!" ”

"Well said." Tang Tong arched his hand to Xiang Zhuang, then turned around and walked away.

Jia Meng Guanzhong, Jin She.

The old wounded doctor was changing the medicine for Jin She, three days ago in the fierce battle in the east of Langzhong City, although Jin She killed several people on the other side in a row, but he himself was also stabbed dozens of times, and he could hardly find a piece of good meat on his body, the only thing to be thankful for was that Jin She avoided the key point with his years of experience in battle.

Even if he avoided the key point, when Jin She fled back to Jiameng Pass in embarrassment, he finally fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss, before falling into a coma, Jin She only had time to say a word, so that Jiameng Guard would quickly mobilize Langzhong Zhuangding to defend the pass, and he didn't even have time to tell Jiameng Guard to report to Xianyang.

The old wounded doctor untied the layers of linen wrapped around Jin She's body, revealing the hideous and terrifying knife wounds, and the two Han soldiers who stayed next to him couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, they really couldn't imagine that a person could still survive after being cut so many knives?

Changing the dressing must peel off the old medicine, which will inevitably affect the wound, which is extremely painful, Jin Shu endured it so that he did not moan.

When the dressing was changing, a small colonel suddenly stepped inside and said: "General, the Chu army outside the gate suddenly brought a lot of door panels, wood, and a lot of craftsmen, and they are building a ladder for attacking the city, and the style of the ladder is very strange, the villain has never seen it, but this is probably not a good thing for our army." ”

"Huh?" Jin She's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "Carry me to close it." ”

The old wounded doctor hurriedly stopped: "General, you don't care about the old decay's dissuasion during the day, you have to let people carry you up to the city, you have already caused a lot of blood from the injury, if you involve the wound again this time, the blood loss will only be more, and if you don't do it well, you will fall into a coma again, and if the general falls into a coma this time, let alone three days, I am afraid that he will never wake up." ”

"General Ben, be careful." Jin She didn't listen to the dissuasion at all, and ordered the two soldiers beside him, "Go, hurry up and bring the stretcher over there, General Ben is going to the city!" ”

The two soldiers had no choice but to bring a stretcher.

Half an hour later, Jin She was carried to the top of the city again, and the soldiers were slightly erected on stretchers.

Lying on the head of the city and looking condescendingly, I saw that the Chu army was busy building an unheard of and unseen cloud ladder outside the pass, in fact, it was not a cloud ladder, it was simply a serious staircase, the kind of Kanto folk house used to connect the ground floor and the second floor of the staircase, but it was magnified many times, and there was a special column support.

Many soldiers in the city were whispering, and they all looked solemn.

"It's broken, it's broken, as soon as this big ladder is built, the Chu army will be able to kill the city directly!"

"Afraid of what? How can such a big and bulky guy with no wheels get close to the city walls? "What kind of eyes do you kid have?" Didn't you see Chu Jun swinging a long log under the ladder? Relying on the alternation of these rolling logs, they can push this big ladder in front of us, alas, if we knew this, we should have dug a moat in front of the pass, and the Chu army would have been blinded. ”

"What's the use of digging a moat? Won't Chu Jun fill it in? ”

"If you want me to say, don't be afraid, this ladder is made of wood, just set it on fire."

"Think beautifully, if you can set it on fire, the Chu army won't be guarded? They will definitely be covered with cowhides! ”

"Fuck, what's the ball? Just go out of the customs and rush at him for a while, and destroy this bird ladder. ”

"You kid is a human head pig brain, out of the customs and rushing into battle? The Chu army is easy to provoke, can they not guard against it? ”

The soldiers at the head of the city argued in a whisper, but the corners of Jin She's mouth bloomed with a subtle smile, the scale of the project to build this giant ladder is really not small, the Chu army only has dozens of craftsmen in Liao Liao, if you want to build it well, it will take five days, Xiang Zhuang will calculate, and after five days, the army of Chu will arrive, just in time to attack the city in a big way.

But after all, this is just Xiang Zhuang Xiaoer's wishful thinking, at that time, Xi Juan, the county guard of Hanzhong, should have come to the aid with a large army, and the army of the King of Han should also enter Hanzhong.

At that moment, Jin She instructed the junior colonel beside him: "Closely monitor the movements of the Chu army, and report anything abnormal immediately!" ”

After a pause, Jin She specially advised: "Immediately block the gate with a boulder, and then tell the soldiers of the whole army, everyone must not go out of the gate without authorization, and there will be no forgiveness for violators!" ”

Outside Jiameng Pass, the Chu army camp.

The night is twilight, the open space in front of the camp has already been lit around hundreds of pine torches, bright as the daylight of the fire, more than a dozen Tangmen carpenters are sweating like rain, day and night to build a giant staircase, Xiang Zhuang designed this giant staircase actually has no technical content at all, it is an enlarged version of the independent staircase.

The height of this staircase is more than four zhang, the top width is more than two zhang, the bottom width is more than four zhang, the depth of the front and back is up to six zhang, and the length of the ladder of the inclined plane is more than ten zhang.

Under the firelight, Xiang Zhuang was silently standing next to the clearing and watching.

Five days later, I was afraid that the reinforcements of the Han army would have arrived at Jiameng Pass, and I was afraid that the daylilies would be cold at that time.

Therefore, this giant staircase is just Xiang Zhuang's trick, and his real killer feature is not this!

After watching in the open space for half an hour, Xiang Zhuang took Hu Yan and a dozen Heavenly Wolf Guards to a dense forest near the camp, deep in the dense forest, Tang Tong and more than a dozen Tang Sect craftsmen were building a giant bed crossbow, the giant ladder outside was just a decoration, this giant bed crossbow was the real killer!

It takes five days to build a giant staircase, but half a day to build a bed crossbow that is not very crafty.

Because there are ready-made hundred-year-old mulberry trees in the dense forest, Xiang Zhuang does not need a bed crossbow with high accuracy and durability, he only needs a rough giant crossbow.

By this time, the bed frame of the giant crossbow had been built, and the front and rear triple crossbow arms had been installed in place.

Tang Tong and the craftsmen are tightening the crossbow arm through the winch, preparing to install a bowstring made of stored hemp and as thick as a thumb, just wait for the bowstring to be installed, even if this giant crossbow is built, due to the lack of many key links in the middle, this giant crossbow is likely not to be launched a few times, but for Xiang Zhuang and Chu Jun, as long as this giant crossbow can be used, it is enough.

Nan Zheng, the residence of the county guard.

Xi Juan, the county guard of Hanzhong, is setting up a banquet to entertain Zuo Xiang Bai Mo and the accompanying protector general Zhou Guanfu.

With the deepening of the reform, with the continuous enhancement of the national strength of the Han State, the people and officials gradually realized the benefits and necessity of the reform, and Bai Mo gradually gained prestige in the hearts of local officials. ..., "Prime Minister Zuo, the lower official respects you." Xi Juan raised her eyes to respect Bai Mo, and she was very respectful.

"Xi Junshou is polite." Bai Mo replied, then covered his sleeves and drank it all.

Xi Juan put down the wine, and sincerely invited: "Zuo Xiang, this time you come to Hanzhong, you have to stay for a few more days anyway, so that Xia Guan can do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, although Hanzhong is closed, but there are also a few fun places, and there are also a few delicious game, Xia Guan will ask Zuo Xiang to taste one by one." ”

Bai Mo sighed and said, "I'm afraid I don't have this blessing." ”

Zhou Guanfu, who was accompanying him, said: "Xi Junshou, the left minister still has to inspect Bashu." ”

"Then wait for Zuo Xiang to come back after inspecting the two counties of Bashu." Xi Juan hurriedly said, "When we return, Zuo Xiang must stay in Hanzhong for a few days, otherwise, Zuo Xiang will not look down on our old Xi." ”

Bai Mo said happily: "Okay, then it's decided." ”

Xi Juan was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't want to deliberately stammer Bai Mo, but really wanted to entertain Bai Mo, because since the implementation of the new law of Jun Yao service and flat calculation, the Hanzhong treasury is becoming more and more abundant day by day, and the people are getting richer day by day.

At this moment, suddenly a small official under the door hurriedly entered, and before he could see the ceremony, he panted and shouted: "Zuo Xiang, county guard, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!" ”

Xi Juan frowned slightly, and before he could ask, Zhou Guanfu had already shouted: "What's the alarm?!" ”

This thunderous shout actually frightened the little officials under the door, and they didn't dare to squeak until Xi Juan drank and asked several times in a row, and the little officials under the door woke up like a dream, and said in a low voice: "The county guard, I just received an urgent report from Ba County, saying that Xiang Zhuang, the king of Chu, has personally raised the army and entered Shuzhong!" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Guanfu Huo Ran knelt down and stood up, and said sharply, "The Chu army has entered Shuzhong?!" ”

The little official under the door nodded, and said tremblingly: "Xiang Zhuang, the king of Chu, is leading the army to storm Jiameng Pass, and Jin County Shou asked the county guard to rush to the aid of Hanzhong County, otherwise Jiameng Pass will not be guaranteed, and Hanzhong may not be protected." ”
