Thinking of this, Su Hao was also not interested, after all, if such a huge beast wanted to be created, it would take a few years and consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and it would be impossible to succeed.

And if you want to capture Nanjing City, as long as you cut off the support of Nanjing City, and besiege it for another three or four years, this Nanjing City will be broken, so why spend so much money to create a trap beast.

But thinking about it, Su Hao didn't pour cold water directly, but asked: "Hou Aiqing, the production process of this Mo family trap beast is cumbersome, and if you want to create such a huge trap beast, I'm afraid it's not a matter of a while, and the consumption is not small." ”

Hearing Su Hao's words, Hou Sui couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, if you want to create a perfect siege beast, it takes a long time, and it also costs a lot of money. ”

"However, if you just want to create a trap beast that can attack the city, it is not particularly difficult, as long as Your Majesty transfers many Mo family disciples in the scientific research institute to assist the minister, and then transfers a thousand craftsmen for the minister, the minister can create a trap beast that is enough to attack the city within half a year."

Hearing this, Su Hao couldn't help but be stunned, this was something he hadn't thought about, according to his guess, this kind of giant machine beast would not have succeeded without hundreds or thousands of Mo family disciples who had gone through decades of painstaking thinking.

After thinking for a while, Su Hao said in disbelief: "Aiqing can really create a trap beast that is enough to attack the city in half a year?" ”

For him, it is not difficult to transfer those Mo family children in the scientific research institute, and it is also easy to transfer a thousand craftsmen, he is worried that he has too many expectations, but Hou Sui fell off the chain, and then he will be depressed.

"The minister does not dare to bully the king."

Hearing that Su Hao didn't believe it, Hou Sui hurriedly saluted.

"Since Aiqing has confidence, then let's do it boldly, even if it doesn't work, I won't blame it."

After thinking about it for a while, Su Hao nodded and said, since Hou Sui is confident, he is naturally happy to see it succeed, after all, there is not much manpower and material resources needed, and it is the best to become natural, and there is no big loss if it fails.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations."

Hou Sui hurriedly said.

…

Soon, under Su Hao's order, more than 1,000 craftsmen were assigned to Hou Sui's command, and at the same time, Su Hao also assigned a camp to Hou Sui for his use, and many Mo family children from the scientific research institute in Jinan Fucheng were also transferred to Nanjing City.

Hou Sui also quickly built dozens of iron-making blast furnaces in the military camp, began to smelt steel on a large scale, and at the same time, a large amount of timber was also transported into Hou Sui's camp.

…

The other side.

Jingzhou Mansion City, Yunzhen Martial Arts Hall.

In a fine house, Hu Zhongwu closed his eyes and practiced internal strength, after a long time, Hu Zhongwu slowly opened his eyes and sensed the internal force in his body, Hu Zhongwu's face showed joy, the dragon god really didn't lie to him, he was really reborn.

In just half a month, he had been promoted from the third-rate realm to the third-rate realm, and his cultivation speed was getting faster and faster, he was sure that he would be able to advance to the second-rate realm in less than two months.

Thinking of this, the joy on Hu Zhongwu's face was even worse, at this rate, it would not take him half a year to reach the first-class realm, plus the gold given by the Dragon God, when the time comes, he can easily recruit troops and buy horses in his hometown.

………

Time passed day by day, and as the trap beast made by Hou Sui gradually took shape, Wang Jia and others in Nanjing City also discovered the giant in the Qi army camp.

"What's that?"

Chen Guangyu frowned, now there are nearly twenty Hongyi cannons cast in the city, and in two months, they will have almost thirty Hongyi cannons.

When the time comes, with the help of the city wall, they can also wrestle with the Qi army, and he definitely doesn't want to see an accident at this time, after all, the change represents a crisis, and if you are not careful, Nanjing City will be dangerous.

"It seems to be the Mo's trap beast."

Fan Jingwen on the side frowned and said, "But this is also too big, how can such a huge trap beast move?" ”

As the secretary of the military department on Nan Zhili's side, he is also well-informed, and naturally he has also seen the Mo family's machine beasts, but such a huge machine beast is unheard of, because such a huge machine beast is not driven by human mana at all.

"The Qi army will definitely not waste so much effort to create a fake thing to scare us, maybe the other party can really drive this trap beast to attack the city."

Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei on the side, said worriedly, the only reliance of Nanjing City is the city wall, and now the height of this machine beast created by the Qi army is not lower than the city wall, if it can really move, Nanjing City will be broken.

"Would you like to invite Mr. Kong San to come and take a look?"

At this time, Tang Dazhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites on the side, spoke.

Mr. Kong San?

Hearing Tang Dazhang's words, Wang Jia's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Even if the Kong family has privately cultivated two martial arts masters, they have even secretly cultivated a strong person in the innate realm, and when our family returns to Beijing, we will definitely sue the Kong family!" ”

Hearing Wang Jia's words, Tang Dazhang couldn't help but smile bitterly, originally the fact that the Kong family secretly cultivated a congenital realm powerhouse was not known to outsiders, but before the puppet emperor Su Hao had personally taken action and summoned thousands of paper people to attack the city, the city wall was almost lost, and it was the congenital realm powerhouse of the Kong family who joined forces with the other two martial arts masters to kill all the other party's paper figures.

Although the Kong family can be regarded as saving Nanjing City this time, but the Confucian family's behavior is unacceptable to the royal family, in the entire Ming Dynasty, there are many families that have cultivated martial arts master realms, and there are strong men in the martial arts master realm in the Ming Dynasty.

However, the congenital realm powerhouse is a taboo, except for the royal family who worships the congenital realm powerhouse, other families will take the initiative to avoid suspicion, although this taboo is not explicitly stipulated, but it is tacitly accepted by everyone, and now the Kong family has broken this taboo.

"Princess, it's not too late to talk about this matter in the future, the most important thing now is to hold Nanjing City."

After being silent for a while, Tang Dazhang smiled bitterly: "Besides, the Kong family did not hesitate to expose this congenital realm powerhouse in order to keep Nanjing City, which shows that the Kong family is still loyal to the imperial court." ”

"Humph!"

Wang Jia snorted coldly, and didn't say anything more, if it weren't for that, he would have been angry a long time ago, the strong in the innate realm is strong, but Nanjing City is the southern capital, and now there are twelve martial arts masters in the city, and everyone in the Kong family can be killed.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged man in a navy robe to come to the city wall.

"Kong San has seen Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Xu, and Marquis Chen."

Seeing Wang Jia's stinky face, Kong San had no choice but to take the initiative to salute.

And Wang Jia didn't pay attention to Kong San, this time Zhu Youzhen will definitely not give the Kong family a good look, if he is too close to the Kong family, then his fate will definitely not be much better.

"Mr. Kong San doesn't need to be polite."

Seeing that Wang Jia didn't mean to speak, Chen Guangyu hurriedly spoke out to break the embarrassing atmosphere, Kong San is also a strong person in the congenital realm, and if he wants to defend Nanjing City, he has to do Kong San's help.

Seeing this, Kong San could only smile helplessly, as a member of the Kong family, he also knew that his existence had violated the taboo of the royal family, and he had persuaded Kong Yinzhi to flee to other places before the Qi army surrounded Nanjing City, but unfortunately Kong Yinzhi rejected his proposal and chose to stay in Nanjing City.

Because Jiangnan is the richest area in the entire Ming Dynasty, once Jiangnan falls into the hands of Daqi, then Daming will be weak, and Daqi has no place for Confucianism at all, so in the end Kong Yinzhi decided to take the strong men of the Kong family to defend Nanjing City.

Although his existence violated the taboo of the royal family, as long as he could help defend Nanjing City, he believed that Zhu Youzhen would not pursue this matter too much.

"Mr. Kong San, I invite you over this time, mainly to ask you for advice, now the pseudo-Qi military camp is creating a huge Mojia trap beast, I don't know if this trap beast is real or fake, can it act?"

At this time, Fan Jingwen pointed to the huge machine beast of the Qi army camp in the distance and asked.

Mojia Trap Beast?

Hearing Fan Jingwen's words, Kong San couldn't help but be stunned, he naturally saw the huge thing in the distance, but if Fan Jingwen didn't say it, he wouldn't have guessed that it was a trap beast.

"Fan Shangshu, are you mistaken, that thing shouldn't be a Mo family beast."

After thinking for a while, Kong San shook his head and said.

"How could that thing not be the Mo family's trap beast?"

Hearing this, Fan Jingwen immediately frowned and said, "This official has also seen some of the Mo family's trap beasts before, and that thing is exactly the same as the Mo family's trap beasts except that they are much larger. ”

Hearing this, Kong San shook his head and said: "Fan Shangshu only knows one thing but doesn't know the other, this thing seems to be very similar to the Mo family's machine beast, but in fact it is very far away, and the Mo family's machine beast manufacturing is quite harsh. ”

"If the Mo family trap beast wants to act, it must be engraved with the magic pattern, so that the mana can run, but the inscription of the magic pattern is an extremely mana and material consuming thing, in order not to be easily destroyed, so the people of the Mo family will choose hard demon wood as the material when making the trap beast."

"Now that thing in the Qi army camp is made of ordinary tree wood, it can't withstand the attack of the master at all, once the magic pattern is destroyed, the entire mechanism beast will be unable to move, and this thing is too big, if you want to rely on mana to drive this thing, it is impossible to succeed without hundreds or thousands of left warlocks."

Hearing Kong San's words, not only Fan Jingwen, but even Wang Jia and others were stunned.

"What are you trying to do with this thing?"

Wang Jia couldn't help but wonder, it takes at least thousands of craftsmen to make this thing, if it weren't for the machine beast, could it be that it was made for fun?

"Maybe it's a pseudo-Qi strategy?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Guangyu spoke.

"Perhaps."

Fan Jingwen frowned, he didn't agree with Chen Guangyu's statement, because Daqi now had an advantage, and there was no need to do this.

…

Time passed day by day, and in the camp of the Qi army, the trap beast created by Hou Sui was gradually coming to an end.

………

Qi army battalion.

Su Hao was bowing his head to review the notebook, and at this time, at the door of the tent, Liao Qing's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, the organ beast on Academician Hou's side has been successfully manufactured." ”

It worked?

Hearing this, Su Hao, who was originally practicing with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, for him, taking Nanjing City is the most important thing at the moment, it has been almost eight months since he set off from Shandong, and if he continues to delay, it is estimated that the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty will be assembled.

"Let's go check it out."

Su Hao walked out of the tent, and then walked towards the camp where Hou Sui was, and after a while, Su Hao and his party came to the side of the trap beast.

The beast made by Hou Sui has four zhang and seven heights, fourteen zhang long, and ten zhang wide, like a huge crab, with eight huge wooden legs on the left and right sides, and under the wooden legs are huge wheels, and the wheels are covered with a circle of iron bars, and the center of the wheel is a large iron disc, which is engraved with various patterns.

In addition to the two sides, there are also more than a dozen wooden legs on the belly of the Trap Beast, and the wooden legs are also wheels, which look quite weird, and the entire Trap Beast is made of wood.

"Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Hou Sui's voice sounded, and the next moment, Hou Sui jumped down from the belly of the trap beast.

"This trap beast is done?"

Su Hao was slightly puzzled, although the trap beast in front of him had begun to take shape, it was still too rough, and the wood was only preliminarily processed, compared to the Mojia trap beast he had seen before, it could only be said that it was not even rough, it was completely a rough embryo.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this trap beast can already move, and it can completely attack the city."

Seeing that Su Hao was still a little unconvinced, Hou Sui hurriedly said.

"In that case, the order is to go down, and the army is assembled and ready to attack the city!"

Hearing Hou Sui's words, Su Hao directly ordered, now that Daqi has an absolute advantage, there is no need to test whether the Trap Beast can be used at all, on the contrary, if the Trap Beast can be used, it can also catch the Ming army in the city off guard.

Hou Sui is also a smart person, after hearing Su Hao's words, he instantly understood Su Hao's plan, so he said: "Your Majesty, why don't you use a horse to pull the trap beast outside the city first?" ”

Hearing this, Su Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he instantly thought of Hou Xun's intentions, if he used horse-pulling, it was estimated that the Ming army would die of laughter, in this way, the Ming army would definitely be more careful, and when the time came, the sudden start of the machine beast would definitely be enough to frighten the morale of the Ming army on the city wall.

…

Soon, the army was assembled, and more than two hundred war horses neighed and pulled the beasts slowly.

………

On the city wall, Wang Jia, Chen Guangyu and others looked at the machine beasts pulled by the war horse, all of them were two monks and puzzled.

"What the hell is this Qi army doing?"

Fan Jingwen frowned, this thing looks like a trap beast of the Mo family, but what the hell is this war horse that is used to go to the battlefield?

You must know that the moat of Nanjing City is very deep, the shallowest place is seven feet, and the deep place is one zhang deep, although it has been filled in a few roads with sandbags by the Qi army, but it is impossible to use a war horse to pull this huge machine beast to the city wall.

It's better to build a few more siege ladders, at least the siege ladders are lighter and easier to make, and the beast in front of you can burn it to ashes with just a few waves of rockets.
