Or maybe Xiang Gong's main plan is not to attack the city, but in other aspects, the siege is just to assist.

The more Li Zhao thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he hurriedly ordered someone to inquire about Gongzi Jianglu, and the news he got was that there was no news sent by a hundred elites, and there were no suspicious characters everywhere.

That's weird.

"Could it be that Xiang Gong can control everything behind his back? Or is there an agent on the surface, and that agent is someone that many people know? Otherwise, a stranger will definitely be noticed by the guards if he appears in the upper forest garden. ”

This is all his speculation, but there is no actual evidence, but Xiang Gong is always a hidden danger, and he can't ignore it.

Just as everyone was celebrating, there was bad news, the iron-smelting workshop was robbed, and a large number of things were lost.

"The iron-smelting workshop was robbed?"

Li Zhao was startled when he heard this, and his face changed again and again when he thought of what he had just thought.

There are all kinds of advanced weapons in the iron-smelting workshop, if they are robbed, then the problem is big, not to mention machine guns and the like, just a grenade can make people in the era of cold weapons unable to resist, not to mention that people are wise, with grenades can also make more advanced weapons.

Of course, machine guns and anti-aircraft guns are precision weapons, and without drawings, it is still difficult to make them, which will take a long, long time.

Unless cheats are also stolen.

As soon as he thought of this question, his face changed again, and he hurriedly ordered someone to find Ah Chao.

After a while, Ah Chao came in a hurry, but he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the young master, but he was still the first to say his negligence.

"I'm sorry young master, Ah Chao didn't protect the iron-smelting base, everything is Ah Chao's fault, please punish Ah Chao!"

Li Zhao sighed and patted Ah Chao's shoulder gently, without blaming.

"It's okay, I can't blame you for that."

Indeed, this cannot be entirely blamed on Ah Chao.

When the Qin army attacked, all the people who could come in handy were sent to the battlefield, and how many people could be left behind to guard the iron-smelting base, of course, no one thought that the thieves would attack the iron-smelting workshop so cunningly.

Moreover, Li Zhaoke felt that the thief came premeditated, and he must have been planning for a long time.

Otherwise, with the tight defense of the four city walls, it is impossible for anyone to break in, unless they have already lurked in Shanglin Yuan.

"Already lurking?" Li Zhao was secretly shocked, if this was the case, Xiang Gong would have figured it out if he didn't appear, he didn't intend to attack the city, but the iron smelting base, and the siege was just a pretense, the purpose was to steal the weapons in the base.

It doesn't make sense.

After experiencing the Battle of Xianyang, Xiang Gong knew that his weapons were far inferior to those of the Qin army, but he couldn't make them himself, and the only way was to steal them.

And the Qin army's attack was to cover for the thieves, so naturally whether the siege was successful or not seemed less important to him.

"Very difficult people."

Li Zhao slandered, and suddenly felt a sense of difficulty, and he was tired of dealing with a person in the dark.

"But." Ah Chao refused to forgive himself, "It's all Ah Chao's dereliction of duty, ashamed of the young master, Ah Chao, Ah Chao" The guy choked up, which can see his inner complexity and guilt.

"Don't do that just yet." Li Zhao comforted Ah Chao and asked, "First of all, tell me about the secrets of making various weapons, but are they still there?" ”

Speaking of this, Ah Chao looked even more guilty, and lowered his head: "Everything that can be taken has been stolen, cheats. There is not a single thing left, not even the machine tool. ”

What?

Li Zhao was shocked, Xiang Gong was really ruthless, he even stole something as heavyweight as a machine tool, it can be seen that there are so many people he has sent, and when he thinks of this, his face is blue and black for a while.

To be able to steal so many things, there must be hundreds of people, so many people act in Shanglin Yuan without startling the snakes, and it is impossible for no one to answer them, that is to say, there are ghosts in Chang'an Township.

This is not the main thing, the main thing is that the cheats have been stolen, and there is not a single thing left, which is the biggest loss, the biggest hidden danger that exists.

It's not that you can't make all kinds of weapons because you lose your cheats, but once these things are leaked, they may be created in large numbers by thieves, which is very unfavorable to the situation in the future.

That's the problem.

With these weapons, he can defeat tens of thousands of people with thousands of people, if Xiang Gong makes it by then, will Shanglin Yuan be able to easily deal with it?

The answer is no.

One wave has not settled, and another wave has come, and he can predict that the next wave will be more violent.

"Is the craftsman still alive?"

According to the general practice of theft, if someone obstructs it, it must be slaughtered, and these craftsmen are not good at killing, and I am afraid that the possibility of being killed when encountering thieves is very high.

However, Ah Chao didn't show much sadness, but breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Young Master, I haven't slept for a few days in a row, I let them all go to rest last night, except for some guards and individual craftsmen on duty, most of them are safe and sound." ”

Li Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that people are fine, every craftsman is a treasure of Shanglin Yuan, if he is really killed, that is the biggest loss.

"Can you find out where they came from? Do you send someone to follow it? ”

Ah Chao hurriedly said: "Judging from the traces, it is from the east gate, as for where to retreat, Ah Chao has not yet. Not yet known. ”

"It's all Ah Chao's incompetence, Ah Chao will send someone to investigate."

Li Zhao waved his hand, signaling that it was no longer necessary.

It's been so long that it's hard to find out where the thief is.

The east gate, close to the Zhushui, is a branch of the Weishui, and down is the larger river, how can you chase it?

As for what path the thief will take after he succeeds, there is no doubt that it will be by water.

When the iron smelting base was built, the iron ore transportation problem was considered, so the base was built on the east side, and it was especially close to the east gate to facilitate transportation.

And it is precisely for the sake of convenience that the thief is convenient.

There are really drawbacks to everything, and the original consideration was the convenience of transportation, but not theft.

"That's it, don't mention this matter again, just treat it as if it's no such thing."

The loss of the big killer weapon is a big deal, and excessive publicity will only make people panic, and it will definitely be another toss when it reaches Qin Shi Huang.

Fortunately, the manufacture of sniper rifles is carried out in secret, and few people know about it, otherwise if it is stolen, it will be really a panic!

"Yes!" Ah Chao saluted, but looked very unhappy, Li Zhao patted him on the shoulder again, and grinned, "Don't take it too seriously, the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, not to mention that it's not more than Erer for me." ”

But Erl?

Ah Chao was stunned when he heard this, and even his unhappy face was a little surprised.

I thought to myself: 'But Er'er' is the young master's sincere words or comforting words? This is a serious question, if it is comforting, it means that he has a status in the young master's mind, he should be happy, if it is true, that, that. He should be shocked.

Is machine gun and anti-aircraft gun advanced? Horror not? Absolutely terrifying and advanced, it is a thing that must win the war, such a thing is said by the young master to be nothing but Erer, how big is his experience!

No, what a weapon he still has in his heart!

"Is there a more advanced weapon in the world than a machine gun?" Ah Chao muttered in self-doubt, his curiosity was not allowed to be controlled, and blurted out, "Young master, do you have more advanced weapons?" ”

Li Zhao secretly sighed that Ah Chao is really sensitive, no, he should be smart, and he knows that he has more advanced weapons just by his own words.

Yes, he just has more advanced weapons, so to speak, all the weapons in the previous world were in department stores, as long as he wanted to, and if he had enough money, he could buy them from them.

As far as the current situation is concerned, since the thief has obtained the cheats and related manufacturing materials of several weapons, and they will be able to make them in the near future, they will not be facing the tiger squat cannon or the like, so in order to deal with them, even if he doesn't want to, he has to come up with some more clever weapons, and quickly, this task still falls on Ah Chao.

For example, if the other side has machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, etc., he will make a rocket artillery, tanks, etc., and if necessary, he will also make some drones to fight.

But at the moment, it's just a matter of thinking, he has to think about it, what kind of modern weapons can be made to restrain machine guns and the like, and they are also affordable.

"Sort of!" Li Zhao lowered his voice, he didn't want to be heard.

Ah Chao's eyes seemed to bulge when he heard this, and the whole person immediately became excited, staring at the pieces of fat like a fierce beast that saw its prey.

"What weapon? Comparable to a machine gun? ”

Li Zhao was surprised by the change in Ah Chao's expression, and responded with a smile: "It's better than a machine gun." ”

Yes!

Ah Chao couldn't react for a while and let out a strange scream, his eyes were red, like a bloodthirsty wolf.

Li Zhao shook his head, patted him on the shoulder again, and said, "Don't be too excited, although this weapon is better than a machine gun, it is very difficult to manufacture, the process is complicated, and it is difficult for ordinary people to control." ”

Ah Chao didn't consider the difficulty at all, let alone any difficulty, and hurriedly said excitedly: "Young master, it's not difficult, Ah Chao is completely competent." ”

Ask for cheats as you talk.

Li Zhao was choked by his urgency, but he didn't take out the cheats, but asked him to come over to get them an hour.

An hour was enough for him to think about what weapons he wanted to come up with, and to buy more advanced machine tools and other auxiliary equipment.

The stolen equipment is old, or it is only suitable for making weapons such as machine guns, and if you want to make tanks and other weapons, you need more dense equipment, and it happens that the base has been emptied, which is convenient for replacement, and it cannot be said that the theft is all bad.

Ah Chao left excitedly, and Meng Yi did not participate in the dialogue here, but ordered five hundred gunners and many Shanglin Yuan guards to go out of the city to search for loot.

The Qin army threw away its armor and fled in embarrassment, leaving behind a lot of artillery and crossbows, these are all good things that cannot be wasted.

In fact, it is good to have these things, at this moment Xiang Yu does not know what the situation is, if these ready-made weapons can be sent over, it will undoubtedly be a relief in the snow, of course, Shanglin Yuan's weapons are more advanced, but the base has been stolen, so naturally it can no longer be provided.

"General Meng, please immediately order someone to send these weapons to Julu City and hand them over to Xiang Yu, as well as these five hundred red-clothed cannons."

Xiang Yu is facing hundreds of thousands of troops, they still have artillery, the most difficult to deal with, at this moment can have more advanced weapons, send more.

"The red-coated cannon was sent over too?" Meng Yi frowned.

Five hundred red-clothed cannons are the guarantee of Shanglin Yuan, if they are all sent, in case the Qin army kills again, then what can be resisted?

He wanted to dissuade Li Zhao, but Li Zhao waved his hand to stop him, and said, "Don't worry, after this battle, does the Qin army still have the courage to fight again?" ”

As far as Hu Hai is like a bird, it's strange if he dares to come, of course, there is another aspect he didn't say, that is, Xiang Gong's purpose is not in Shanglin Yuan, but the weapons of the base, and if he gets it at this moment, I'm afraid he has already hidden and studied secretly, where did he get the interest to go to Lin Yuan?

In other words, Shanglin Yuan is safe, and there is no need for too many weapons, of course, if they really dare to commit it again, a thousand elites are not vegetarians, and they can destroy tens of thousands of troops.

Meng Yi thought for a while, and then prepared to go.

Li Zhao immediately returned to Li's house and locked himself in a relatively large secret room, which was relatively empty, could accommodate a lot of equipment, and even had a coffee table.

Slowly brewing tea, snorting alone, his mind gradually sank into the weapon thinking
