Chang’an Peasant Girl

After cutting down a lot of trees, they hired many carpenters. Through the drawings in the hands of the carpenters, the soldiers knew what they were going to do, but they didn't know what it was for.

When they saw Qin Er leading a large number of people to carry large stones to the tower, the soldiers were even more confused.

Even Qin Er, who was responsible for transporting the stones, didn't know what he was doing. He was just following orders.

Ye Zhi did know what the carpenters made. As a modern person who knew some knowledge about ancient wars, she could tell. And Anjing also told her. However, she was busy developing explosives with An Jing and had no time to tell others that this thing was called a catapult.

But because it was Xiao Changyi, the general, who asked him to do it, no one dared to slack off on this matter.

In just five days, more than two thousand catapults were built.

Because there were so many people transporting stones, all the towers in Jingye City were filled with large stones in less than a day.

But Xiao Changyi didn't let them stop and asked them to transport a lot of stones and put them in the city.

Every time he made a catapult, Xiao Changyi had people transport it up to the tower.

When the carpenter made the first catapult, Xiao Changyi tested the power of the catapult.

As soon as he saw the catapult placed on the city tower, Xiao Changyi asked him to put a big stone on the catapult. Then, he asked a few particularly strong people to press it down on the other side, and the big stone was instantly pushed and flew out.

Then there was a loud bang, startling everyone.

Everyone hurriedly walked to the city wall and looked down, and saw that the huge boulder had smashed a big hole in the ground. Everyone was stunned by the power. At this moment, everyone finally understood what this thing was going to do. Everyone was happy and excited, saying that they had this Catapults will make it much easier to defend the city.

The catapult was so powerful that Xiao Changyi was very satisfied.

However, Xiao Changyi was worried that the enemy troops would also penetrate into Jingye City from the mountains, so he sent many elite soldiers to guard there, with Qi Weimeng in charge of this side.

Including the more than 100,000 soldiers who surrendered, there are actually more than 400,000 soldiers and horses in Jingye City. There are still 100,000 soldiers left in Xilin City. Xiao Changyi did not transfer those 100,000 soldiers into Jingye City. If there were no catapults, , maybe Xiao Changyi would mobilize tens of thousands, but now that there are catapults, Xiao Changyi still did not mobilize, and still kept Xilin City with 100,000 troops just in case.

Liu Buli was still responsible for the one hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

Xilin City and Jingye City are not too far away. If reinforcements are really needed, Liu Buli can come over in time with one hundred thousand soldiers.

It has been five days, and the Chilin army thirty miles away has not yet attacked, but because the Chilin army is still thirty miles away, Xiao Changyi and the others dare not take it lightly.

Jing Jing, Ye Zhi and the others are still busy developing explosives.

Jing Jing plans to blow up at least ten mountains in Chilin, which means at least ten large batches of explosives are needed. But now, Jing Jing and Ye Zhi have just made a large batch, and it will take quite some time to complete the goal.

That day, in the evening, Jing Jing and Ye Zhi came out of the room where they were developing explosives.

As soon as they came out, they saw Gong Juechen squatting at the door of the room, holding a branch and writing something on the ground.

When Gong Juechen saw Ye Zhi come out, his eyes lit up, he quickly threw away the branch in his hand, ran to Ye Zhi's side, and said with a playful smile: "Zhi Zhi, you finally came out, I have been waiting for you for a long time, you guys I don’t know what I’m doing, and the gatekeepers won’t let me in. I’ve never seen people as vicious as them.”
