The voice came into the Great Jin Army, Helan Xue raised her eyebrows, she was already angry, she was not a good-natured person, where had she been humiliated like this, she was a rouge tiger, and she was captured alive. The soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed in unison, their own pioneers were said to be rouge tigers, and they were so valuable.

Liang Dabao couldn't help but laugh and said: "The value of the big boss has risen again, and I have to send more people to protect it when I go back." ”

He Guiqiu said coldly: "Well, exactly, after a few more battles, I'm afraid there will be a price increase, if there is a mistake, the little marquis will not have to pick everyone's skin." ”

Helan Xue turned her head and glared at him fiercely, "Do you believe that I will peel you now?" What is this about Yang Jiulin? If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I beat you so that you can't see the sun tomorrow? ”

He Guiqiu turned his eyes to the sky: I didn't say anything.

Helan Xue and the others took turns calling the battle every day just to harass them, and Yang Jiulin had already sent someone to cut the wood, and according to the drawings drawn by He Lanxue, he selected carpenters in the city to go to the Governor's Mansion to make catapults together. The days fly by, seven or eight days have passed in the blink of an eye, and less than half a month is the New Year, the two sides are still stalemate, what makes Helan Xue feel more interesting is that this ancient war also talks about rules, Beidi also has to celebrate the New Year, and then the commanders of the two sides have agreed to a truce from the New Year to the sixth day of the first month, Helan Xue ridiculed Yang Jiulin, this is the Spring Festival holiday, in exchange for Yang Jiulin is confused. I don't know if I can travel for more than ten days, the roast leg of lamb in Beidi Capital City tastes excellent, and now is the time to eat!

Yang Jiulin glanced at her, where is it so easy to go to Beidi, there must be a customs clearance espionage, as soon as she has a military status, and a person who has shown her face in front of the battle, she wants to go to the capital of others, even if she is not a spy over there, Dajin is also suspected of collaborating with the enemy, how much she wants to eat that roast leg of mutton, and she is worried about half of the war. The feeling of wanting to eat and not being able to eat was too uncomfortable, Helan Xue slapped the table violently, startling Yang Jiulin, she hated and said: "No, I have to ask someone to catch a cook for me to come back, let's eat roast lamb leg during the New Year." ”

Liang Dabao said with a sad face: "Girl, you don't want your uncle to come forward to arrest you." ”

Helan Xue nodded: "That's right, I'll immediately let someone pass the word to my little uncle, and ask him to find a way to catch the cook of the Qingda Erhan family from Beidi Ducheng to us, and then send dozens of sheep, Jiulin, you don't know, the best roast lamb leg in Beidi Ducheng is Qingda Erhan, this is the name of the store, the seasoning they use is not available in our Central Plains, and the sheep is not a breed, roasted out of it is called a delicious, after so long in Northern Xinjiang, when will they be able to hit their capital?" Let's have a good time then! ”

Yang Jiulin was stunned: "Sister, don't you take someone to join the army just to eat the roast leg of lamb in the capital!" ”

Helan Xue smiled and said: "No, no, this is not for the New Year, I think of it, Brother Jiulin, I watched the catapults build five, let's try it quietly tomorrow, if the effect is okay, how about snatching the city back before the truce?" ”

Yang Jiulin thought so, and Han Kaiqi said: "Sister Helan, the catapult you said really has such a strong effect?" ”

Helan Xue nodded: "You'll know if you try it tomorrow, but the one we make will inevitably be rough, not as durable as the ones made by Wei Pengdu, but it's always okay to try." It's a pity that there is no kerose, otherwise it will be a complete victory. ”

Yuan Jiaxing asked, "What is fire oil?" ”

He Guiqiu preemptively said: "I know this, I once saw it in a book, saying that the black oil flowing out of the cracks in the stone is combustible when it comes to fire, and it is not easy to extinguish." ”

Helan Xue approvingly: "That's right, that's it, it's this thing, but unfortunately I don't know where it is, otherwise throwing a fireball directly into the city will definitely have an excellent effect." ”

Yang Jiulin was thoughtful, but he didn't say anything, Yan Wu touched Helan Xue and said, "Girl, how do you know so much?" ”

Helan Xue took his arm and said proudly: "Uncle, because I am Helan Xue!" She took his pulse again, nodded and said, "Uncle, your injury is basically healed, how is it?" My girl is a great doctor, right? I specially brought her to Northern Xinjiang, just because I was afraid that everyone would make a mistake, so that she could be healed. ”

Yang Jiulin suddenly interrupted their gossip and said, "I'm afraid that there will be heavy snow in two days in this weather, Ah Xue, it's okay to take advantage of the weather now, otherwise how about we try the car now?" Utur was able to reach the northern frontier years ago, and with such a strong enemy, the siege of the city would inevitably be contained, which was really not a good thing. ”

Helan Xue understood what he meant, and waved her hand to Zuo Jinfeng, who already understood what she meant, and beckoned a few good generals to prepare together. Then, the group got on their horses and went straight out of the city.

After finding an open place outside the city, and waiting for a long time, Zuo Jinfeng and others pushed the catapult covered with tarpaulin. Everyone took off the tarpaulin with their hands and feet, revealing the huge wooden car covered below, the body was more than a foot high, supported by several wooden pillars, and the layers inside were full of wooden piles, Helan Xue commanded Zuo Jinfeng to raise the body, and the wooden stakes that were originally hidden inside were pushed by the twisted gear shaft and rose up, two or three zhang high, with a fixed horizontal axis between the two pillars, and a lever perpendicular to the shaft, which could rotate freely around the axis. A weight is attached to the short arm of the lever, and a leather bag is attached at the end of the long arm.

Zuo Jinfeng had already put the stone bullet in the leather bag, and then asked Helan Xue if he wanted to try it, Helan Xue nodded, only to see a few people loosen a few ropes on the long arm, the short arm fell down because of the heavy object, the long arm suddenly bounced up, and the stone bullet in the leather bag also flew out, the distance was so far, the speed was so fast, and the height was so great that everyone jumped, and when the stone bullet landed, it smashed out a huge deep pit. The other catapult threw loose rocks of various sizes, the smallest of which had to be the size of a fist, and after one shot spread out in mid-air, throwing it into the distance, and when it landed, it crackled and hit the ground with potholes.

Yang Jiulin and the others were all stunned, this thing is so powerful? Wouldn't it be easier to siege the city with a few more vehicles? Yang Jiulin couldn't help but pull He Lanxue's arm and said, "Ah Xue, what other strange things do you have in your mind?" ”

Helan Xue raised her head arrogantly: "It's so much that you can't think of it." She changed the subject and said, "Let's attack first tomorrow?" I'll think about how I can improve this stone bullet, and it would be better if I attacked it with fire. ”。

That night, Yang Jiulin and the generals arranged the method of attacking the city early tomorrow morning. As the commander-in-chief, He Lanxue, He Guiqiu and others said nothing and refused to let him go into battle in person, Yang Jiulin couldn't, seeing Helan Xue's insistence, thinking about her skills and attack power, she could only give up, and immediately arranged Zuo Jinfeng, Wu Chao, and Yuan Jiaxing to feint from the other three gates, and Helan Xue, He Guiqiu, Zhang Xin, Yang Chenglin, Yan Wushu, and Han Kai attacked from the west gate, leaving Li Tonghammer, Wu Bo, Qiao Bin and Yang Ziyi to defend the city.
