Chapter 1468 Great Power
After cutting down many trees and inviting many carpenters, the soldiers knew what to make through the drawings in the carpenters' hands, but they didn't know what the thing was used 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 carrying stones, didn't know what he was doing. He was just following orders.
Ye Zhi knew what the carpenters made. As a modern person who knew some knowledge of ancient wars, she could see it. And An Jing also told her. However, she was busy developing explosives with An Jing, and had no time to tell people that this thing was called a catapult.
But because it was done by the great general Xiao Changyi, no one dared to slack off.
It took only five days to build more than 2,000 catapults.
The stones on the tower, because there were many people transporting stones, in less than a day, all the towers in Jingye City were filled with large stones.
But Xiao Changyi didn't let them stop, and asked them to transport a lot of stones to the city.
Every time a catapult was made, Xiao Changyi had it transported to the tower.
When the carpenter made the first catapult, Xiao Changyi tested the power of the catapult.
When the catapult was placed on the tower, Xiao Changyi asked him to put a big stone on the catapult, and then asked several strong men to press it down on the other side, and the big stone was instantly pressed and flew out.
Then there was a loud bang, which scared everyone.
Everyone hurried to the wall and looked down, and saw that the boulder had smashed a big hole in the ground. This power made everyone stunned. Everyone finally understood what this thing was going to do at this moment. Everyone was excited and said that with this catapult, it would be much easier to defend the city.
Xiao Changyi was very satisfied with the power of the catapult.
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 responsible for this side.
Including the more than 100,000 soldiers who surrendered, there are actually more than 400,000 soldiers in Jingye City. There are still 100,000 soldiers in Xilin City. Xiao Changyi did not transfer the 100,000 soldiers to Jingye City. If there were no catapults, Xiao Changyi might transfer tens of thousands of soldiers, but now there are catapults, Xiao Changyi still did not transfer them, and still let Xilin City maintain 100,000 soldiers just in case.
Liu Buli is still in charge of the 100,000 soldiers.
Xilin City and Jingye City are not too far away. If reinforcements are really needed, Liu Buli can rush over in time with 100,000 soldiers.
It has been five days, and the Chilin army 30 miles away has not attacked yet, but because the Chilin army is still 30 miles away, Xiao Changyi and others dare not take it lightly.
An Jing and Ye Zhi are still busy developing explosives.
An Jing was planning to blow up at least ten mountains in Chilin, which meant that at least ten portions of explosives were needed. Now, An Jing and Ye Zhi had only made one portion, and it would take a long time to achieve the goal.
That day, in the evening, An 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 coming out, his peach blossom eyes lit up, and he quickly threw away the branch in his hand, ran to Ye Zhi, and said with a playful smile: "Zhizhi, you finally came out, I have been waiting for you for a long time, you don't know what you are doing here, and the gatekeepers won't let me in. I have never seen people as vicious as them."
