Chapter 85: Catapults

Hui Shangyi felt a little familiar when he heard this name, and suddenly remembered it.

The beautiful woman in front of him was none other than the person he really wanted to marry. But he now has Xiao Li, and he doesn't like this woman either.

Now Xie Yunxiu, who was watching the play on the sidelines, was also stunned, he had thought about many situations when Xiao Wanyin was missing, but he didn't expect to meet her here.

Then it's troublesome now, the real lady is here, whether Hui Shangyi will marry or not?

Thinking of this, Xie Yunxiu looked at Hui Shangyi and Xiao Wanyin with interest, playing with a folding fan in her hand.

"Are you Xiao Wanyin from Hengzhou?" Hui Shangyi was still a little incredulous and asked again.

Xiao Wanyin nodded, her eyes red: "Young General, you may not remember, I am the one who is engaged to you." ”

Hui Shangyi's brows were furrowed, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, not knowing what to say. But the party is him, and he must face it.

"How did you end up in such a war-torn place?" Hui Shangyi stood up and helped Xiao Wanyin up to sit on the stool next to her.

"I ......" Xiao Wanyin had already started crying before she could say it, like a child who had been greatly wronged.

Xie Yunxiu smiled, feeling that she shouldn't stay here, so she asked to leave, and Hui Shangyi could only watch Xie Yunxiu walk out of the room in despair.

Xiao Wanyin was still crying, which made Hui Shangyi a little overwhelmed: "Miss Xiao, don't cry first, tell me what happened on the wedding day?" ”

"That day, I had already put on my wedding dress and waited for the wedding party at the inn." Xiao Wanyin sniffed and sobbed quietly, "But I don't know what happened and I was kidnapped." ”

"Do you remember what your captors looked like?" Hui Shangyi asked, wanting to get some clues.

Xiao Wanyin shook her head and said with a look of grievance: "That person has been masked, and I can't see what he looks like." ”

"Then there was turmoil, and I escaped while the man was not looking. But I didn't know the way back, so I had to wander around. ”

Speaking of which, Xiao Wanyin was already in tears. Hui Shangyi couldn't look at it, took out his handkerchief and handed it to her.

Xiao Wanyin took the handkerchief, looked at Hui Shangyi with grateful eyes, and continued: "But fortunately, I met you, and now I can finally live without being so frightened." ”

Hui Shangyi looked at Xiao Wanyin, moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth.

"Major General, I know you're married." Xiao Wanyin smiled bitterly, lowered her head and didn't look at Hui Shangyi, "Don't worry, I won't bother you, I just need to follow the young general to be satisfied." The Major General saved my life, and I don't ask for anything, as long as I stay by the Major General's side. ”

Hui Shangyi was very hesitant, Xiao Li on one side and Xiao Wanyin on the other. But fortunately, Xiao Wanyin did not ask for bigamy, which made Hui Shangyi also breathe a sigh of relief.

Originally, the two of them were supposed to get married, but now that he likes Xiao Li, he feels guilty about Xiao Wanyin. Xiao Wanyin had no other requests, and Hui Shangyi simply agreed to her.

Zheng Guo's camp, Dugu Yin came back with the remnants of the defeated general.

This time it was his mistake that led to the defeat, so he could only hold his breath.

"General."

Before he heard his voice first, Yu Zhuoqi's face was a little bad, and he walked in and saluted Dugu Yin.

Dugu Yin glanced at Yu Zhuoqi, did not speak, and was sulking alone.

"Mr. Yu, do you have anything to do with General Ben?"

Dugu Yin asked in a deep voice, but he didn't look at Yu Zhuoqi, and kept looking at the map on the table.

"General, we can't fight anymore now. Now we can only stand still and replenish supplies from Zheng Guo. ”

Yu Zhuoqi frowned slightly, he didn't expect Dugu Yin's movements to be so fast, and he went to raid Letu overnight. It would be fine if they occupied Leto, but now they were beaten back by Hui Shangyi.

Dugu Yin was holding his breath and had nowhere to go, but Yu Zhuoqi's words directly angered him. He slapped the table hard and stood up: "Mr. Yu, the morale is low now, and he urgently needs to win a battle. ”

"The general ...... like this"

Before Yu Zhuoqi could continue, Dugu Yin directly interrupted him: "Don't say any more, it's best to attack Qisu now." Just go down and rest, sir. ”

Yu Zhuoqi smiled bitterly, and then withdrew. Dugu Yin is still too reckless, and he always likes to be emotional. Yu Zhuoqi wanted to play his role, but Dugu Yin didn't listen to him.

In the city of Qisu, Yiluo's blacksmith shop.

"Yi Lao, can you make this?" Xiao Li gave the drawings to Yiluo, his eyes full of worry.

She felt that next time Dugu Yin would send more people to attack Qisu, although now many open-minded women have come to sign up for the army, but in general, there are still not enough people.

And only relying on the strength of the women's army, it can't resist the brainless harassment of Zheng Guo's army. Therefore, it is necessary to make a new type of defense weapon to effectively resist Zheng Guo's attack, at least until Hui Shangyi and them return to Qisu. The first Chinese network

Iloh looked at the drawings for a long time, but didn't say a word. This drawing is the catapult that Xiao Li showed to Wei Yanwu that day.

The principle of the use of catapults is still difficult for people of this era to accept. However, Xiao Li believes in Yiluo's ability, and he can make it that she designed before.

Yiluo sighed, put down the drawings in his hand and looked at Xiao Li and said, "I've never seen this before, the design is too novel, and I'm not sure if I can make it." ”

"You try it first." Xiao Li also knew the difficulty of making a catapult, "Let a few more carpenters work together, they may have some effect." ”

One of the reasons why the original design of the meniscus and crossbow was not as good as the catapult, one of the reasons was that the catapult was so large that it required a lot of materials to make it, and the second was the principle of its design.

Xiao Li had the carpenter with the best skills and theories in Qi Su come to Yiluo's blacksmith and explain the principle to them.

They all looked at Xiao Li in disbelief, what kind of wisdom could someone have to come up with such a thing.

They originally looked down on Xiao Li, thinking that she was just a woman and didn't understand so much. Even if he won a few battles with the Women's Army before, it doesn't mean anything.

But this time Xiao Li really amazed them, and they all respected Xiao Li from the bottom of their hearts. Xiao Li also felt the change in the attitude of these people towards her, and did not say anything, accepting their respect with peace of mind.

After several days of joint research, they finally made a small template for a catapult.

"Young lady, do you think that's the case?" A carpenter took the sample they had made and happily handed it to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li took a closer look and did a good job, and the details were very good. Xiao Li couldn't help but sigh, it is still good for ancient people to do things seriously, unlike modern people who do things casually.

"It's good, let's do this." Xiao Li's tone revealed satisfaction, "If you don't understand, come and ask me." ”

With Xiao Li's approval, several people began to rush to work day and night. They also knew that the catapult was made to hold the Qi Su, so they had to move a little faster.

After two days, the catapult was finally made. Xiao Li looked at the huge catapult in front of him, and his eyes were full of praise. I have to say that these craftsmen are ingenious and very receptive.

She explained the principle carefully, and they restored the catapult to a high degree.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Li smiled and patted them on the shoulder.

"Contribute to the country, not hard!"

Several people replied in unison, all with big smiles on their faces.

"Report ——!"

A soldier hurried over.

Xiao Li turned around and glanced at the soldiers, and probably knew what was going on. Don't think about it, it must be Zheng Guo's army attacking the city again. Just so, use them to test the power of catapults.

"Push the catapult to the gates." Xiao Li beckoned to a few people next to him, "You go and prepare some big stones, they must be big!" ”

When several people heard this, they all got busy. Xiao Li also left the blacksmith shop and took the women's army to the city gate to face the battle.

Zheng Guo sent more people this time, Xiao Li was a little uncertain in his heart, whether he could repel Zheng Guo's army this time depends on the catapult.

Zheng Guo's generals were also very arrogant: "Hmph! Last time we gave you a lucky victory, and this time we will definitely defeat you! ”

Wu sat on his horse and said menacingly: "You don't talk too much here, we are not afraid of you!" ”

After speaking, the Women's Army also echoed. Although the voice is very soft, not as good as those male soldiers, it is shocking and awe-inspiring.

"Less nonsense! Give it to me! ”

The generals of Zheng Guo obviously didn't want to be humiliated anymore, so they rushed towards them with a black face and soldiers.

The Women's Army quickly formed a defensive formation and blocked the rapidly attacking Zheng Guo soldiers. However, Zheng Guo's soldiers were slightly superior in numbers, and they couldn't be defeated by the strength of the Women's Army alone.

At this time, Xiao Li saw that the catapult had been placed, so he ordered: "The women's army listens to the order, everyone retreats to the city, and they must not come out!" ”

Although they didn't understand why Xiao Li did this, they couldn't disobey the order, and they obediently withdrew to the city one by one.

Zheng Guo's generals saw Xiao Li retreating with his troops, and looked at Xiao Li's back in a good mood and laughed at them.

"What? Scared? If you can't beat it, surrender obediently! General Zheng Guo didn't know that danger was coming, and he still said vigorously.

Xiao Li did not answer, and after entering the city, he commanded the soldiers to carry the stones.

When the general Zheng Guo saw that Xiao Li had retreated, there was no movement in the city, so he planned to hit the city gate with his soldiers.

At this moment, a huge black shadow loomed over their heads. When they looked up, a large rock flew towards them.

When Zheng Guo's soldiers saw it, they all avoided it, and they lost the momentum of attacking the city at that time.
