Liu Ping can be said to have spared no expense in the defense of Wu Fort, in addition to the height and thickness of the city wall, a large number of bows and arrows, rolling logs, stones, etc. were also prepared in the fort, even if Wu Fort could not be defended, Liu Ping would also fight a jade to burn.

Guan Hai had no intention of attacking the city, a contemptuous sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, there were soldiers in the team carrying more than a dozen strange shelves made of wood the thickness of the bowl mouth and placing them at the forefront of the military formation, lined up, and there were seven or eight soldiers guarding next to each shelf, who were moving stones to the shelves.

Bai Jing said in surprise: "What is this?" ”

Liu Ping was also very puzzled, if he was attacking the city, he should at least be prepared to rush to the car ladder or something, but in Guan Hai's team, there were no such things at all, but more than a dozen wooden shelves were launched, and Liu Ping couldn't figure out what Guan Hai was going to do.

However, in a short moment, he understood, and he could only hear the soldiers under the city pulling the big rope and shouting in unison: "Release!" "Stones the size of a clay pot flew up in mid-air and smashed towards the enemy tower.

Liu Ping was stunned, or the steward beside him pulled him, so that he avoided the stone, which hit the pillar of the enemy tower, and with a "click", the thick column was smashed alive by the stone, and the enemy tower was dusty, and the corner was crumbling.

More stones roared, and some smashed into the pile, screaming again and again, and the brains of those who were smashed burst out, and they died. Some hit the city wall, booming loudly, brick debris splashing everywhere, and the people standing on the city wall all had a shaky feeling, as if they were experiencing an earthquake.

Guan Hai is also the first time to use it. Seeing the extraordinary power, he couldn't help but grin and sigh at the wisdom of the lord.

Liu Ze considered that the city wall of Wubao was thick, and if it was really attacked, the casualties would be heavy, so he had an idea, thought of the catapult, and consulted the information of the ancient catapult. The earliest application of catapults should be the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Battle of Guandu during the Three Kingdoms, and Liu Ye was improved. A more powerful catapult was invented. Since then, catapults have been widely used in the offensive and defensive battles of cities.

Catapults are roughly divided into two types, one is the towed type, which requires a lot of manpower to pull the lever and throw the stone projectile out. The other is the counterweight type. Tong guò quickly releases the counterweight box to complete the stone throw. The firing distance of the latter is much higher than that of the former, but the process of making the latter is much more complicated than the former. There is no need for a counterweight catapult with better performance to fight a small Wu Bun, so Liu Ze chose to use a traction catapult. A sketch of the design was drawn.

Guan Hai was born as a carpenter, and when he saw that Liu Ze's drawings were only assembled from a few thick pieces of wood, and there was no need for any complicated processes, he immediately patted his chest to ensure that the task was completed.

Due to the urgency of time, Guan Hai summoned the carpenters to start work overnight, and was busy all night, and finally made more than a dozen catapults before dawn, and simply carried out a test firing, and then pulled them to the front of Liujiawu Fort. In the first salvo, more than a dozen crockpot-sized stones were thrown into the air and smashed into Wubao, which was so powerful that it surprised everyone.

Guan Hai was overjoyed and ordered the catapults to attack without interruption.

Liu Ping was stunned, and only then did he know that Liu Ze's army had brought this thing from there, and it could throw dozens of pounds of stones into the air, and the thick city wall could not withstand this kind of thunderous blow, not to mention the flesh and blood, as long as it was hit by a stone bullet, it would either be dead or disabled. Liu Ping, Bai Jing and the others didn't dare to stay on the city wall anymore, who knew if the stone that didn't have long eyes would fall on top of their heads.

The soldiers of the Liu family were panicked, looking at the stones flying all over the sky, they were frightened, where did they still have the heart to defend the city.

The catapults attacked all night, half of them were damaged, and the remaining ones were still firing stone projectiles. At dawn, the crumbling walls finally collapsed.

Guan Hai was overjoyed, ordered the catapult to stop the attack, and personally led the infantry to rush up.

The soldiers of the Liu family had already lost their fighting spirit, and when the officers and soldiers rushed up with shouts, most of them decisively disarmed and surrendered. Guan Hai ordered that no prisoners should be killed without permission, and those who tried to resist stubbornly were to be killed.

The battle ended quickly, and in the underground secret room, the officers and soldiers captured Liu Ping, Bai Jing and others. Liu Pingping was like ashes, and he didn't say a word. Squire Qian and the others were fighting in two strands, and they couldn't even take a step.

When Liu Ze arrived at Liujiawu Fort, Guan Hai was escorting a long group of prisoners out of Wu Fort. Liu Ze saw it from a distance, smiled slightly, and said to Pan Feng: "The power of the cart throwing stone is good, Guan Hai won Wu Bao so smoothly, and the catapult contributed a lot." ”

Pan Fengdao: "It's still the lord who is wise enough to make a catapult, and if our army has divine help, it is a miracle that we can take this fortress without a single soldier." ”

"Liu Ping thinks that he can use his mantis arm as a car with a small projectile city, which is really ridiculous. Go, bring Liu Pingbai Jing and the other main culprits over, and I will try them myself. Liu Ze sat down on a big tree and ordered Pan Feng to bring the prisoner over.

Not long after, Guan Hai personally escorted Liu Ping and others to Liu Ze, Guan Hai laughed at Liu Ze: "Lord, the trebuchet you designed is so wonderful, Liu Ping's Wang Ba Shell was broken before it lasted a day, hahaha." ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly, Guan Hai compared Wu Bao to the eight shells of the king, which couldn't be more appropriate. He glanced at Liu Ping, who looked disillusioned, and said with a sneer: "Liu Ping, you didn't expect that there would be such a day when you and I would meet in such a way, right?" ”

Liu Ping pretended to be calm and said, "Liu Taishou, what do you mean?" I have always been law-abiding and disciplined, and I have not committed half of the adulterous crime, why did Liu Taishou send people to attack the village and beat the family, is it possible that Liu Taishou can cover the sky with one hand and take revenge for personal gain since he took charge of Pingyuan County? ”

Liu Ze secretly sneered twice in his heart, this Liu Ping really didn't die if he didn't see the Yellow River, and he didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin.

"Liu Ping, after all, you are also a person who has been a captain, but you put on a scoundrel face, do you really think that if you are dead, you can't help you?" Liu Ze mocked with disdain.

Liu Ping was so angry that his face was as white as paper, thinking that he was the capital of the Plains Country back then, and he was also above 10,000 people under one person in the Plains. At that time, Liu Ze was just a small county order, but unfortunately this feng shui rotates, and now he is too guarded by the plains, holding the power of life and death, but he was beaten back to his original shape by the end, which is really unpredictable.

He still said unwillingly: "Liu Ze, you are bullying, today I will die in your hands and I will not accept it, even if you can kill me, can you block the mouth of the people in the world?" ”

"It seems that you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, come on, bring it!" Liu Ze waved his hand contemptuously. The guards were quickly brought to the scene alone.

When Liu Ping saw it, his heart suddenly cooled half, and the person he brought with him was none other than his housekeeper Liu Wang. This is afraid of ghosts, there are ghosts, Liu Wang has disappeared in the past few days, Liu Ping is not afraid that he will run away with money, he is afraid that he will fall into the hands of Liu Ze, sure enough, Liu Wang fell into the hands of Liu Ze, and the last glimmer of hope in Liu Ping's heart was also extinguished.

"Liu Ping, do you know this person?"

Liu Wang's eyes flashed with fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master, the slave can't stand you, I really can't stand it......"

In fact, Jin Yingwei's eighteen kinds of torture were not used at all, but after a few whips, Liu Wang couldn't bear it, and he told the story of the incident in detail like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Liu Ze threw Liu Wang's confession in front of Liu Ping and said, "Liu Ping, this is the confession of your housekeeper Liu Wang, as well as the five million yuan commission from the Blood Killing Hall, there are all the human and material evidence, I want to see how you deny it?" ”

Liu Pingping is like ashes, I can't imagine that even the famous Bloody Hand Hall has been taken by Liu Ze, how big is this Liu Ze's energy? Liu Ping only found out at this moment that Liu Ze was really unfathomable, and offending him was really a dead end. But there are all kinds of medicines sold in the world, but the only thing that is not is regret medicine, since Liu Ping has taken this road of no return, it is difficult to turn back now.

He straightened his back, and since he was going to die, he didn't want to die. "That's right, I did the assassination of the assassins of the Bloody Hand Hall, and if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it! However, this matter was done by me alone, and the crime was not as good as my wife and children, and I hope that Liu Taishou can give them a way to live. ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly, it seems that this Liu Ping is not a bad breed. "The Nine Clans of Zhulian is not the style of this official's handling of cases, your wife and children are old and young, and this official will never be embarrassed, but if you buy murderous assassins and plot against you, this official will forgive you. Someone came, Liu Ping was pushed out and beheaded, all the family property was confiscated into the official, and the rest of the Liu family was abolished as commoners! ”

Immediately, two soldiers stepped forward to escort Liu Ping out, Liu Ping's face was as white as paper, he didn't say a word, pursed his lips tightly, and cast the last trace of resentment on Liu Ze, but he quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

There was a reserved smile on the corner of Liu Ze's mouth, but in the eyes of Bai Jing and the others, it was a demon's smile.

Bai Jing saw Liu Ze's gaze fall on him, he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed again and again: "Master Taishou spares his life, this assassination is all Liu Ping's idea, but it has nothing to do with us, Master Taishou spares his life!" ”

Liu Ze sneered: "The former escaped from Tian Fu, and the official only punished you lightly, but unexpectedly, you were not evil, and the viciousness is difficult to change, it seems that the official punished you too lightly last time, and there are still millions of spare money to buy the official's head, this time you must be spared, come to someone, and launch the beheading!"
