Bring Hokage to Datang

The county wall in Huixian County is not high. It cannot even reach the height of a modern two-story building. It is only about five meters, but it is more than four meters thick. It is easy to run horses on it. net

Of course, such a city wall in Xiaxian County cannot be compared with Chang'an. It is all made of rammed earth. At most, some glutinous rice juice is added in the middle. Fortunately, it was in the Tang Dynasty, when there were no explosives. If we went a little further , get a cannon and fire a few shots, maybe you can knock down the city wall.

However, the city wall with this height alone was able to withstand tens of thousands of troops. If Xue Wanche hadn't seen the power of the explosives created by Li Chengming, he would have insisted on evacuating.

On the city wall, people were coming and going at this time. Apart from the soldiers guarding the city wall, the only ones left were the craftsmen and civilians who were nervously assembling the trebuchet.

Li Chengming was not a mechanical engineer, he was just an ordinary person. He only graduated from high school in modern times and never even went to college. Later he worked in an ordinary way and didn't know much about trebuchets.

However, after a cursory look, the Tang Dynasty's trebuchet looks pretty good. It is about three meters high and two meters long, and looks very heavy.

"How much can this kind of trebuchet throw at one time? How far can it be thrown?" Li Chengming stood in front of a trebuchet and looked at it. He asked Xue Wanche.

"Back to Your Highness, this trebuchet can throw about eighty kilograms of heavy objects, and the longest distance can be about three hundred steps." Xue Wanche obviously knew the data of these trebuchets and answered without much thought.

Li Chengming nodded slightly, generally satisfied with this data. After all, it was just a trebuchet, not a rocket, so he couldn't be too harsh.

Moreover, having a range of steps is enough to deal with the soldiers attacking the city. After all, even the range of the crossbow is only about steps now, not to mention that they also have explosives as a big killer, which can be used to defend the city. It's more than enough.

"How many trebuchets are there in total now?" Li Chengming asked calmly, holding his hands behind his hands, walking to the female wall next to him and looking outside the city wall.

It's just a lower county town, with no complicated terrain, and no moat, because there is no water source here at all. Even Chang'an doesn't have a moat, let alone this place.

Although there are some peaks in the surrounding ten miles, they are all small hills and not high. The outside of the county is even flat.

Well, it's very suitable for the army to be stationed!

Of course, in a place like this, using a trebuchet to throw explosives is like a bomber, with no place to hide.

"Back to Your Highness, except for the old ones before, we only drove out about ten of them last night. Please forgive me, Your Highness!" Xue Wanche said with clasped fists in apology.

Naturally, it is impossible to blame Xue Wanche for such a trivial matter. Li Chengming shook his head and said, "That's almost enough. The two city gates should be arranged more, especially here. 35xs By the way, are you sure that Yuchi Gong will lead his army to attack the city from here? ?"

"Uh." After hearing Li Chengming's words, Xue Wanche hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I'm not absolutely sure. It's just that the commander of the army this time is Yu Chigong, and I know this person a little bit. Although he is quite brave, he is arrogant and arrogant. This time he leads tens of thousands of troops to attack, and he will definitely want to win a battle in order to show his majesty in front of the traitor Li Shimin, and the east city gate happens to be where he comes from. In the end, there is a -% certainty that he will seize the city from now on!"

After hearing Xue Wanche's analysis, Li Chengming nodded slightly.

Regarding Yu Chigong, Li Chengming had read some past information about him before. Although this person was listed as one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion and the fifteenth hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, his evaluation was not very good. .

He was so happy about his success and so arrogant. He relied on hugging Li Shimin's thigh and saved Li Shimin several times to rise to great heights and gained Li Shimin's favor.

For example, during the Xuanwu Gate Incident not long ago, Yuchi Gong rescued Li Shimin who was almost killed by Li Yuanji during the battle, shot and killed Li Yuanji, and then led his troops directly into the palace to kidnap Li Yuan.

However, this person loves to make snitches. Whenever he discovers the faults of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin and others, he will directly accuse them in front of Li Shimin, and his relationship with other people is not good.

Except for this, Yuchi Gong's ability to lead troops in history was not high and he suffered many defeats. I will not go into details here.

"Now that you are sure, I can arrange it as you wish, but don't relax the arrangement in other places." Since Xue Wanche said so, Li Chengming stopped asking any more questions. He also understood that nothing can be %. There will be risks, and he believes in professional matters that are best handled by professionals.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Xue Wanche looked grateful for Li Chengming's trust.

"How's Hong Tianlei doing? How much did Luo Ning send over?" Although he planned to leave the city defense matter to Xue Wanche, it didn't mean that Li Chengming would just be a hands-off shopkeeper. He still needed to ask questions. .

"Back to Your Highness, Luo Beishen has sent over three hundred packages of Hongtianlei, and the general has secretly asked some soldiers to train in ignition and throwing." Xue Wanche said respectfully.

"Well done!" Li Chengming praised appropriately, and then asked, "How are the things I asked you to bury before?"

Hearing Li Chengming's words, Xue Wanche immediately understood that the thing Li Chengming was talking about was the Thunderbolt. Two packs of Thunderbolt weighed two hundred kilograms. The only Thunderbolt they had tried before was only ten kilograms, and it was powerful enough to explode out of the ground. A huge crater, Xue Wanche really couldn't imagine what would happen if the two hundred kilograms of thunder exploded?

Are you afraid that the mountains will be destroyed and the earth will fall apart?

What's more, this time there were a lot of iron nails and iron filings added to the two thunderbolts. If it exploded, I would think of the piece of clay pot inserted into the tree trunk.

It makes people shudder just thinking about it.

"Go back to your highness, the general's things were buried last night, over there and over there. The general guessed that these two places should be where the traitors camped!" Xue Wanche looked at Li Chengming in awe.

Regarding the garrisoning of the army, those who passed by Xue Wanche's battle formation had more say. Li Chengming just asked casually without saying much about his thoughts, and then asked, "How is the scout doing? Yuchi Gonghe Is Changsun Wuji aware that we are here in Huixian County?"

"Yes, Your Highness, the general originally left some people to confuse the rebels, but those rebels suddenly sent out hundreds of scouts. Our soldiers were unable to defeat them and had no choice but to retreat, and the rebels Yuchi Gong also had to retreat. The thieves know what we are doing in Wannian County, and scouts appeared outside the city last night. I am afraid that our news has reached the ears of Yu Chigong and Changsun Wuji." Xue Wanche lowered his head and clasped his fists.

Li Chengming looked into the distance, his eyes wandering, and then said, "Nothing, so what if Yuchi Gong and Changsun Wuji receive the news. Their army has difficulty moving, and they may not be able to get here until tomorrow. We will have been prepared by then." Well, it’s time to wait for work and wait for them to kill you.”

"Your Highness is wise!" Xue Wanche also laughed.
