They recruited young men to defend the city, and sent envoys to the western capital for help. After taking the entire Shangjun, Ben Gongzi temporarily stood still, and transferred the Second Army from Hancheng County to guard Shangjun.

Then, just when everyone thought that I was satisfied with taking Shangjun, the first army was divided into two divisions, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, and Han Shige led a division, and it was very easy to use cavalry air raids, before Yijun County had time to react, a regiment of cavalry rushed into Yijun County, and in less than two quarters of an hour, the county soldiers who stayed in Yijun County collectively laid down their weapons and surrendered under the order of Yijun County.

When Ben Gongzi received this news, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, Han Shige is worthy of being born in a famous general's family, so ruthless, Ben Gongzi is still about fifty miles away from Baishui County, and this goods have already sent someone to deliver the good news to me.

"It's worthy of Han Shige, it only took such a short time to get down Yijun County, and then, it is naturally up to us." Wei Yunqi said with a smile. And next to him, Yang Gongdao and Yang Shidao, who had already arranged their families, couldn't help but feel a little emotional, worthy of being the son of Han Baohu, who was as unreasonable as his father, and rushed and beat violently.

"Send a message to Han Shige, stick to Yijun County, and my son will send a division of the Third Army to take over his defense area, and when the time comes, he will rush to Wujiao City to join me. Well, by the way, tell Yang Qiong and let him hand over all the trebuchets to the Third Army, the First Division of the Third Army will take half of the trebuchets to take over the defense of Yijun County, and the Second Division will bring the remaining half of the trebuchets to Baishui County to replace us. ”

After I finished ordering, soon, several carrier pigeons were released into the sky from the hands of the communication class, with this thing, it is indeed very convenient in terms of contact, but it is a pity that it can only be used in a single line during the march, fortunately, this son has already prepared, the carrier pigeon base, the industry has been along with those grain stores under the name of this son, all over the Guanzhong.

Moreover, Yaoguang Meizi not only received reinforcements from the cavalry, but also received reinforcements from the grain shop located in Huxian County, which was able to enable her to recruit troops and horses.

What people didn't expect was that the striker of this son had just arrived under Baishui County, and he saw the gate of Baishui County open, and the county commander of Baishui County stood outside the city gate with a silk seal, and took over Baishui County peacefully, which was definitely a post, which made me really a little speechless, but it was okay to not hurt a single soldier, and even the gunpowder was completed without consuming one or two, which is indeed very good.

In the following days, Ben Gongzi ordered to start vigorously repairing the city defense of Baishui County all day long in order to build an impregnable Baishui Pass. After spending nearly half a month's effort, the court army slowly came late.

Looking at Baishui County, which had changed its flag, he could only stare at it. Standing on the top of the city of Baishui County, I admired the court army camp in the south of Baishui County, and visually saw about 15,000 court troops, which made Ben Gongzi breathe a sigh of relief, the arrival of the court army, coupled with the news I had just received before, showed that the Yaoguang girl was not only not in danger, but also more and more nourishing.

Well, it was not more than a month, and the Yaoguang girl, who had no more than 7,000 soldiers and horses, went into battle in person, and took five generals to personally persuade He Panren, the most powerful Hu merchant in the south of Guanzhong, to surrender. And I don't know what Hu Panren thinks like this, He Panren, who is far more powerful than Yaoguang Girl, is actually willing to bow down, and stubbornly led tens of thousands of rebels under him to join the team of Yaoguang Girl.

At this moment, the delicate body was shocked, the thief bowed down, and he had the aura of the protagonist more than me, and even the strength of the Yaoguang girl who seemed to carry a paid plug-in with him had gained unprecedented expansion, and he also captured Huxian, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it was also entrenched in a place less than 100 miles away from Chang'an.

Hearing the news, don't say it's me, even a vote of fox friends and dog friends are all dumbfounded, no one would have expected that Yaoguang girl actually has such a high-level personality charm, a move in her hand, a vote of thieves immediately bowed down and knelt and licked, it was too bullish.

I'm worried, but it's useless to worry, I can't go over and reinforce her right now. For I have an enemy before me, the fifteen thousand courtmen who are in front of me. For me, it's really not a problem, because all we have to do is defend, and besides, the 3rd and 2nd Divisions just arrived today, almost in front of the imperial army.

At this time, the old city wall of the county seat of Baishui County has not only been repaired, but also reinforced, in addition, the road construction in Hancheng County has begun to practice, from the waterway straight road from North Hanguan in Hancheng County to Huanglong County, a total of 40,000 reserve personnel were mobilized to start construction at the same time, and it is expected to be completed within three to four months

As long as the road can be repaired to Baishui, when the time comes, the kind of four-wheeled or six-wheeled carriage designed by this son to carry goods and people will only take a day to rush from Hancheng County to Baishui.

Now, it takes a day to climb from Hancheng County to Huanglong, and it takes about a day and a half to reach Baishui from Huanglong, and if a large army marches, it will take at least three to four days to reach Baishui from Hancheng County.

Time is life, if you want to get rich, build roads first, this is also the truth. Anyway, standing at the head of this solid Baishui County, this son began to diverge his thinking. Well, it's okay to be idle anyway.

As for the side, Wei Yunqi and the others were amazed at the tall and towering stone throwers that had just completed the formation of the city. Well, it's called a gravity trebuchet, also known as a counterweight trebuchet, a counterweight trebuchet or a heavy catapult, and of course an English, French, Sibajah, Arabic...... Well, I don't want to fill the water, this thing has another easy-to-understand name: return to the gun.

It is said to be a kind of trebuchet that appeared in the European Middle Ages, and it is also the largest trebuchet, using the principle of levers, one end is equipped with a heavy object, and the other end is equipped with a stone projectile to be fired, before firing, one end of the ammunition must be placed with a winch, a pulley or directly pulled down by manpower, and the other end with a heavy object also rises at this time, after putting the stone projectile, let go or cut the rope, let one end of the heavy object fall, and the stone projectile is also thrown out of the trend, this kind of stone throwing machine is introduced to China through the Islamic area and is called "return cannon".

Some stone throwing machines can throw nearly 500 pounds of projectiles, and the power is huge. Modern tests have shown that the boom is 15 meters long, and the stone throwing machine with a counterweight of 10 tons can eject 90 to 136 kilograms of stone projectiles or heavy objects about 200 paces away. And it can throw one or more objects, which can be boulders or gunpowder weapons, or even poisons, filth, human or animal corpses, for the purpose of psychological warfare, and those filth are also the earliest biological weapons.

The most important thing is that this trebuchet has been redesigned and improved by me, using a pulley block and a large number of metal gear components, so that its durability has been greatly improved, and a certain part of the damage can be repaired, so that there will not be a single nut breakage, the whole machine will be scrapped.

Moreover, compared with the trebuchet that required twenty or thirty people to pull in the past, the number of operators of this trebuchet is also greatly reduced, so that this medium-sized trebuchet with a boom length of about eight meters only needs two loaders, two winders, and one conductor to operate such a large war machine.

On the south wall of Baishui County, which has been strictly reinforced and widened, a total of ten such long-range weapons are arranged, although the range or there is no bed crossbow ox fork, but the problem is that its ammunition is absolutely cold and cold, and the face to face is also the Chinese nation, which has never liked civil wars, and the suicide of Ben Gongzi is for peace, but also for the love of the Chinese nation, so each trebuchet is equipped with a special explosive package with two bases.

In each explosive bag, in addition to about one and a half pounds of gunpowder, there are three catties of pepper noodles, two catties of pepper noodles, and about five catties of hydrated lime powder

Well, the terrible biochemical object, although not very lethal, is definitely a terrible non-lethal weapon, and the reason why it is used hydrated lime instead of quicklime is because I don't want to bring a group of blind people who are unable to engage in production and life to countless families because of the war.

Although hydrated lime is also a little corrosive, it can at least be rinsed off with water, unlike quicklime, except for cleaning with oil, water can not be wet, even if it is retained for too long, it will be blind. At least I think that when the army goes out to fight, no one will be idle enough to carry a pot of vegetable oil to each soldier to play with without seeing the weapons made of quicklime.

As for peppercorns and peppercorns, they are definitely terrible things, and I'm sure no one wants to breathe in the fresh air that can cause a horrible reaction to the animal's respiratory tract.

After testing, one such explosive package can completely incapacitate two hundred to three hundred sheep, well, or people arranged in a dense formation.

And after the officers and soldiers of the court who did not know whether they were alive or dead sent someone to shout to no avail, 3,000 officers and soldiers wearing armor and carrying ladders began to rush towards Baishui County.

With a rapid whistle, the ten trebuchets suddenly turned into a large loop, and each trebuchet threw two explosives that had already ignited the wires at the same moment, and everyone stared at the explosive bags that were swirling in the sky and falling towards the formation of officers and soldiers.

Very accurately, except for the three explosive packets that exploded in advance, causing the powder to disappear into the sky, and the other four that fell to the ground before exploding, the remaining thirteen explosive packets exploded on the heads of those officers and soldiers very aggressively.

For a moment, everyone was stunned by the muddy and strangely colored smoke and dust that had shrouded the officers and soldiers of the court who had swooped towards the city wall.
