Zhao Ziyi heard that Yucheng was also under siege, and immediately ordered another general to send 10,000 troops to reinforcements. An hour after the reinforcements set off, Hanmen Pass ushered in a crisis!

There are 20,000 Hu troops who have been lying in ambush one kilometer away from Hanmen Pass!

As soon as the reinforcement team from Hanmen Pass to the two cities left, the ambush soldiers were dispatched instantly, and the entire Hu army changed its delaying tactics and replaced it with a full attack and a full-scale siege!

For a while, the battle situation at Hanmen Pass was anxious.

The siege continued until nightfall. At this time, the city was already crowded with resting soldiers, and Mu Qingli led the logistics soldiers and the people to shuttle through the crowd non-stop, delivering hot meals to the tired soldiers.

At the moment, Hu Bing started another round of siege, watching the waves of arrows on the city wall shoot outside the city gate, combined with the existing inventory of arrows, Mu Qingli understands that the bows and arrows that defend the city from a distance can only support until tomorrow afternoon at most!

Mu Qingli immediately made up her mind, she wanted to make a bow and crossbow! She is not a fool with Shi Nian, what is the military situation of the entire Zhendong Army, except for Shi Nian, she is the second one who knows best.

The arsenal of the Zhendong Army only has simple weapons such as primitive bows and arrows, war knives, and spears, not to mention bows and crossbows with higher technical requirements, and there are no trebuchets for the simplest and most crude offensive weapons!

It's definitely too late to do trebuchets now, but crossbows with several times more lethality than most bows and arrows can still be made quickly. The Zhendong Army's existing bow and arrow range is only 150 meters away, and if there is a bow and crossbow with a range of 300 meters and a good accuracy, it will be no problem to shoot the leading generals of the Hu people!

Just do it, after Mu Qingli handed over the matter at hand to the others, he found Shi Nian in the crowd.

Mu Qingli looked for most of the city gate for a long time, but he saw Shi Nian near the General's Mansion, and he was afraid that he would run away and strode over, panting and grabbing the corner of his clothes. "Year of the Stone! Found you! ”

"What's the matter, if you don't see your master for a day, it's like every other autumn? Look at your appearance, and when this wave is over, the master will continue to carry you every day. Shi Nian's face was anxious, he originally wanted to rush to find the general, but when the siege began, the general had already left before him, and he just wanted to chase after him, but he was caught by Mu Qingli. Looking at Mu Qingli, who was tightly holding the corner of his clothes and panting, Shi Nian was helpless.

Mu Qingli rolled her eyes very uncharacteristically, "If you don't take it seriously, you will die, I have something to do with you." Loosening the corners of Shi Nian's clothes, Mu Qingli slowed down, and said, "Find me a few skillful craftsmen, and I will make some powerful bows and crossbows for our city gates." ”

Shi Nian was stunned: "What? Archery? ”

"Yes, the crossbow, an upgraded bow that more than doubles the range of the existing bow." Mu Qingli nodded solemnly.

Shi Nian put away his attitude and asked with a rare face: "This bow and crossbow is really as powerful as you say, more powerful than bows and arrows?" There was a faint excitement in her tone, this Mu Qing had invented the salt-making method, maybe the bow and crossbow she was talking about was also feasible!

Mu Qingli said angrily: "I have nothing to do to joke with you, I'm not too idle to panic, I have to hurry, hurry up tonight, if the speed is fast enough, I should be able to make some at dawn tomorrow." ”

"Knock-" As soon as Mu Qingli's words fell, he was suddenly knocked on the head by Shi Nian.

"Ahh Shi Nian, why did you owe me a lot! Mu Qingli didn't expect Shi Nian's sudden hand, and let out an exclamation, which attracted the sideways glances of the guards at the gate of the General's Mansion.
