Chapter 1467 Powerful
After cutting down a lot of trees, he invited 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 they were doing.
When they saw Qin Er leading a large number of people to transport large stones up the tower, the soldiers were even more confused.
Even Qin Er, who was in charge of transporting the stones, didn't know what this was for. He just did what he was told.
Ye Zhi actually knew what the carpenters were doing. As a modern person with some knowledge of ancient warfare, she could see it. And quiet also told her. However, she was busy developing explosives with An Jing, and didn't have time to tell people that this thing was called a catapult.
But because the general Xiao Changyi asked him to do it, no one dared to slack off.
It took only five days to build more than 2,000 catapults.
The stones on the towers, because many people transported the stones, in less than a day, all the towers of Jingye City were filled with large stones.
But Xiao Changyi didn't let them stop, and let them transport a lot of stones and put them in the city.
Every time he made a catapult, Xiao Changyi would have it transported to the tower.
When the carpenter made the first catapult, Xiao Changyi tried the power of the catapult.
Seeing that the catapult was placed on the tower, Xiao Changyi asked him to put a big rock on the catapult, and then he let a few particularly strong people press it down on the other side, and the big rock was instantly pressed and flew out.
Immediately, there was a loud 'boom', which startled everyone.
Everyone hurriedly walked to the city wall and looked down, and saw that the boulder had smashed a big hole on the ground. Everyone was speechless at this power. At this moment, everyone finally understood what this thing was going to do. Everyone cheered and said that with this Catapult, it will be much easier to defend the city.
The catapult was so powerful, Xiao Changyi was very satisfied.
However, Xiao Changyi was worried that the enemy would also enter Jingye City from the mountains, so he sent a lot of elite soldiers to guard there, and Qi Weimeng was 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 in Xilin City. Xiao Changyi did not transfer the 100,000 into Jingye City. If there were no catapults. , maybe Xiao Changyi will transfer tens of thousands in, but now that there are catapults, Xiao Changyi still has not transferred, and still keeps Xilin City with 100,000 soldiers and horses just in case.
Liu Buli was still in charge of the 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Xilin City and Jingye City are not too far away. If reinforcements are really needed, Liu Buli will be able to rush over in time with 100,000 soldiers.
It has been five days, and the Chilin army 30 miles away has not yet attacked, but because the Chilin army is still 30 miles away, none of Xiao Changyi and the others dare to take it lightly.
An Jing and Ye Zhi are still busy developing explosives.
An Jing intends to blow up at least ten mountains of Chilin, that is to say, at least ten parts of the explosives are needed, and now, An Jing and Ye Zhi have only made a large part, and it will take a lot of time to complete the goal.
Today, in the evening, An Jing and Ye Zhi came out of the room where the explosives were being developed.
As soon as they came out, they saw Gong Juechen squatting at the door of the room, holding a branch, not knowing what was written on the ground.
As soon as Gong Juechen saw Ye Zhi coming out, his peach blossom eyes lit up, he hurriedly threw away the branch in his hand, ran to Ye Zhi's side, and smiled: "Zhi Zhi, you finally came out, I have been waiting for you for a long time, you guys. I don't know what to do, and the gatekeeper won't let me in, and I've never seen someone as vicious as them."
