Chapter 51 Engineering Equipment
This time, Meng Chen brought Xu Huang and Chen Yaojin along for the expedition to Jincheng County, and Jia Xu was also on the list. As for Li Cunxiao, he naturally returned to Chang'an to wait for orders.

Although Cao Cao expressed goodwill, but Meng Chen is not small for his lair to be taken away by someone!

"Has Meng Qi made a breakthrough recently?" After chatting with Ma Teng for a while, Meng Chen brought the topic to Ma Chao.

Since the first battle in Long County, Ma Chao, who returned to Longxi, seemed to be a different person.

Although his temper is still irritable, his behavior has become a little more stable.

"Thank you for the governor's concern, I have a little insight."

Ma Chao's answer was quite satisfactory, and Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Ma Chao would challenge Meng Chen again if he overestimated his capabilities.

"Since that's the case, if there is an opportunity, the two of us will discuss it again."

Ma Chao returned the gift with a smile, but did not make a sound. The lesson of that day made Ma Chao fall into confusion for a long time.

As Meng Chen said, if he can't get out of the trough, Ma Chao can't become a good player.

At present, it seems that Ma Chao has found his own flaws, but in the battle with Mengchen, Ma Chao thinks he is still a long way off.

Five days later, 13 troops arrived at the foot of Jincheng County, and the mighty team made the defending soldiers gasp.

Recalling the high-spirited attack on Chang'an at the beginning, but now it has ended up in such a field.

Because of Jia Xu's knowledge of Xiliang, Meng Chen has a little understanding of the situation in Jincheng County, and along the way, there are always dozens of carriages in Meng Chen's army that are tightly packed.

Even when Ma Teng opened his mouth several times, Meng Chen avoided answering!
In order to be able to successfully complete the task, Meng Chen took great pains this time, even Ma Jun had just made a new gadget, and Meng Chen also brought some of it here.

According to the feedback from the scouts, the gate of Jincheng County has long been sealed from the inside, so there is no such thing as a war.

The first time the army arrived in Jincheng County, they began to set up camp.

After a long journey, the army urgently needs a good rest. After all, there are still ten days left before the task issued by the system. Mengchen must ensure that the task is completed within ten days.

"Gongming, lead the Beiwei Army on duty tonight."

"Here!"

According to the past practice, the nighttime defense must be carried out by the Qiang cavalry, but Meng Chen did not do so.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of the Qiang cavalry, it is enough that they are not their own.

And Meng Chen's unintentional move brought him unexpected gains!
"Ding, the prestige of the host in the Qiang people has increased by 50.00%, and the current prestige is [-]%!"

The Lolita voice came from his mind, but Meng Chen was stupefied, did he still have a reputation in the Qiang tribe?Why the hell is it only fifty percent?

Although there are still many problems, Meng Chen didn't open his mouth. As the saying goes, more words make more mistakes, who knows where the system will trick him again!
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the 13 troops hurriedly finished their breakfast, and the Qiang cavalry were already eager to try, but Meng Chen did not issue any general orders.

"Meng Inspector, why don't you attack the city?"

Ma Teng was a little puzzled, and brought Ma Chao to Meng Chen's tent.

It seemed impolite to ask questions like this, but Meng Chen just laughed it off and led everyone to the rear of the camp.

A moment later, when Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son looked at the giant in front of them, their facial muscles trembled involuntarily.

"Catapult?" Ma Chao said subconsciously.

"What Meng Qi said is true. Han Sui has worked hard to manage Jincheng County for several years. Without large-scale engineering equipment, it is difficult to break the city!"

However, what surprised everyone was that they didn't know about the catapults. After walking a certain distance, huge ballistas appeared in front of everyone. Ma Chao roughly counted them, and there were no less than twenty of them.

But the surprise was not over yet, Meng Chen, who continued to follow, walked back, and a siege ladder with wheels appeared in front of him.

This kind of siege ladder is different from the simple ladder. In addition to the wide ladder, there is room for soldiers to hide in the lower part.

On the periphery of the ladder, pieces of cowhide soaked in water are being fixed by craftsmen.

In this way, when pushing this kind of ladder to attack the city, there is no need to worry about the attack of fire arrows. The only thing that needs to be guarded against is probably only fire oil.

These engineering equipment are all things that Meng Chen asked Ma Jun to tinker with in recent days. Of course, the blueprints are naturally from "Mohist Mechanism".

"It turns out that the governor of Meng had already prepared for it, and his subordinates made a slip of the tongue!" Ma Teng said hastily, only then did he realize that what he just said was inappropriate.

Meng Chen laughed and waved his hands, for those words just now, Meng Chen didn't take it seriously.

As long as it can help him break through Jincheng County, everything else is fine.

After returning to the commander's account, Meng Chen asked Ma Teng about Han Sui's generals.

To be honest, Meng Chen has never heard of most of the generals' names, but Yan Xing is familiar to Meng Chen.

"But you almost hurt Meng Qi?"

As soon as Meng Chen's words came out, Ma Chao's face became serious, and the killing intent on his body gradually dissipated.

Since becoming famous, Ma Chao was defeated by the two of them.Meng Chen is one, and this Yan Xing is another.

Strictly speaking, the fight between Ma Chao and Yan Xing almost cost him his life!

"If Yan Xing is caught, he must be handed over to Meng Qi."

Ma Teng didn't say much, looked at Ma Chao and Meng Chen, and seemed to understand Meng Chen's intentions.

The method of aggressive generals is a good strategy for generals with violent personalities.

Getting ready for battle may bring unexpected results!

After waiting for another day, when trebuchets, bed crossbows, and siege ladders appeared outside Jincheng County, even Han Sui couldn't sit still anymore.

As the trebuchet began to show its power, the defenders at the head of Jincheng became confused.

For them, have they ever seen such a siege machine?

Catapult suppression, the psychological deterrence of the enemy is greater than the actual significance!

Seeing huge boulders flying towards him, no one could calmly deal with them.

Of course, it's not that there are people who are overwhelmed and intend to smash it, and the result will inevitably be bloody.

With the suppression of the trebuchet, the soldiers pushing the ladder began to move forward slowly.

Behind the catapult, a bed crossbow has been adjusted at an angle and is ready to launch at any time.

The [-] Qiang cavalry burst into bursts of strange screams. This way of attacking the city obviously opened their eyes.

"Master, the bed crossbow is ready." Chen Yaojin Xing hurriedly ran to Meng Chen's side to report.

"Zhijie, don't play too much."

"I will understand at the end!"

Ma Chao and his son could hear the conversation between the two clearly, but they couldn't figure out what it meant!
With a burst of buzzing, a bed crossbow moved towards the city wall of Jincheng County.
