Chapter 210: Successful Experiment

Guo Mengsheng is very different from Lian Zhan and Qianyueshan, he was originally a civil minister, and when he was ordered to be in danger, he led the troops to lead the Zuo Feng Yi army, and he also won a lot of battles.

belongs to a rare genius in this dynasty, and then was named the Taishou of Feng Yijun by Emperor Wu.

Although the situation has been turbulent over the years, Feng Yijun has never made a mistake.

It is enough to see that Guo Mengsheng is a fierce general, and he is also a handsome talent who can take charge of himself.

However, as soon as Li Yunxing's words fell, the soldiers who had been waiting for the battle suddenly rioted, and many people began to whisper.

This time, Li Yunxing and the five princes came to Feng Yijun to test weapons, which actually meant to win over Guo Mengsheng.

"Oh? I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought? ”

At this time, Li Yunxing gave Lin Qing a look, and then several tall wooden frames covered with black cloth were pushed forward by the soldiers.

The soldiers formed a circle and presented the wooden frame in front of everyone.

Li Yunxing lifted the black cloth on it, revealing the objects inside.

"What is this?" Guo Mengsheng was very strange, this shape was somewhat familiar, but he was a little confused for a while.

"This is a trebuchet polished by the five princes themselves, also called a 'thunderbolt'." Li Yunxing explained slowly.

Hearing Li Yunxing's words, everyone was in an uproar.

This trebuchet is a rarity in this Wu Dynasty, and even in Guo Mengsheng's Feng Yi County, there are only two trebuchets.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent five units, and it was still a strange five.

This made them a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what is the use of this trebuchet? It's a little strange for the last general to look at this thing. Guo Mengsheng frowned, with a disagreeing expression.

Li Yunxing hooked his lips and smiled, but his eyes turned to Li Fengke, "Fifth brother, you can give Guo Taishou a good demonstration of this trebuchet." ”

"Yes, brother." Li Fengke replied respectfully.

He then stepped forward and directed his soldiers to place it at the front of the trebuchet.

"You should first follow the method I just taught you, adjust the direction, and then ......"

Li Fengke patiently explained, and with his explanation, it only took three people to work together to throw the huge stone into the distance.

With a bang, the boulder hit the ground.

On the opposite mountain, a giant wooden jungle ten people high fell to the ground with a bang, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

"Wow! This...... That's amazing! ”

"I didn't expect it to be so effective! If you use it on the battlefield, it's simply invincible. ”

"This thing...... This stuff is amazing! ”

Now the whole barracks exploded.

"This ...... This ......" Guo Mengsheng's eyes widened in surprise.

Guo Mengsheng's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't say his words of surprise, but stared at the trebuchet quietly.

Although he didn't know how to trebuchet, he could feel the power of this thing just by using this effect!

And this thing was actually created by the Five Princes! It was unbelievable to him

"Guo Taishou, what do you think of this?" There was a smile on the corner of Li Yunxing's mouth.

Guo Mengsheng was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately.

On the contrary, it was the soldiers in the barracks who blew up the pot.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this thing is indeed very useful, if it is equipped in the army, it will definitely reduce casualties!"

"That's amazing!"

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, who researched this thing?"

"It's the Five Princes, it's the Five Princes!" Someone immediately shouted loudly, which resonated with everyone.

Li Fengke's heart was a little excited, he didn't like to be in the limelight, no one in the palace had cared about him for so many years, and he didn't even have a word of praise.

Now that he can be recognized by everyone, this is a surprise for him.

After all, Li Fengke is also a child, and someone complimenting him is enough to make him happy.

He never imagined that what he had made would have such an effect until he actually tried it.

It's just that this mood didn't last long.

As they were eager to prepare for the second shot, there was a screeching tearing sound.

I didn't expect the trebuchet to get stuck!

Everyone was stunned and looked at the stuck trebuchet with a stunned expression.

"How could it be ......" Li Fengke on the side obviously didn't expect it to become like this, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered.

Li Yunxing was calm and calm, he stepped forward to investigate carefully, and then raised his head and said to Li Fengke: "This wood is too hard, and it has not been maintained after many days of exposure to the sun, and now it is brittle." ”

Hearing this, Li Fengke nodded, and stepped forward to check the fracture.

"Brother Huang is right, if it is properly maintained, there will never be such a problem."

"Why don't we try the biggest trebuchet first, it's the final product, and it shouldn't have such a problem."

In order to avoid breakage, a layer of resin is applied to the top so that it does not break.

After a few moments, another boulder was thrown.

This time the luck was very good, the boulder smashed steadily on the cliff on the side of the mountain, but unexpectedly, a protruding boulder on the cliff was directly pierced by the stone.

Seeing this scene, the people present invariably swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

This...... It's terrifying, isn't it?

If this is on the battlefield, wouldn't it be able to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop?!

Everyone looked at the magical trebuchet in front of them, and their hearts were full of shock and admiration!

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Li Yunxing did not continue to experiment.

He patted Guo Mengsheng on the shoulder and smiled, "Guo Taishou is willing to accept the gift from this palace?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this ......" Guo Mengsheng was naturally greedy, and those who did not lead troops to fight would refuse such a battlefield weapon.

But Guo Mengsheng also understands that since this thing can be made, then there must be a reason for its existence.

Li Yunxing smiled slightly and said, "Guo Taishou doesn't have to worry, why don't we talk about it in the account?" ”

Guo Mengsheng nodded, and followed Li Yunxing into the main account.

Li Fengke was still thinking about the problem of breaking in his heart, so he didn't follow the account.

Then he and Guo Mengsheng sat down, Li Yunxing took a sip of tea, and then slowly spoke: "Guo Taishou, now that this catapult has been built, I believe Guo Taishou also knows the intention of this palace, right?" ”

Guo Mengsheng pondered for a long time, and then said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to use this catapult to fight the Huns?" ”

"Guo Taishou is smart, and this palace is exactly what it means."

This is also the situation that Guo Mengsheng is worried about, now in this peaceful and prosperous era, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to use such means as declaring war on the Xiongnu in order to expand his own strength.

But I don't know how much disaster this will bring to the people of Limin!

However, Guo Mengsheng knew in his heart that he was powerless to change anything, and he only hoped that this matter would not involve him.

Li Yunxing seemed to see his concerns, smiled slightly, and comforted: "Although Guo Taishou is relaxed, although this trebuchet is used to siege the city, it will not hurt the people. ”
