Chapter 1466 Catapult

   Xiao Changyi did not speak.

  Quiet asked: "How many soldiers and horses, don't you know?"

  Liu Buli said: "The spies only found that there is a large Chilin army camped thirty kilometers away from Jingye City. The number of people is large, and there will be more people every day. They should gather there from different places and then attack us."

   After a pause, Liu Buli said again with a solemn expression: "Their army of 650,000 has been defeated. Presumably this time, there will be only a lot more troops and horses."

   Xiao Changyi said: "Strengthen your vigilance and tell all the soldiers to be ready to fight at any time."

   "Yes, General!"

   Waiting for Liu Buli to leave, Jing Jing frowned and said, "Master, this is another tough battle."

   did not wait for Xiao Changyi to speak, and said quietly: "However, fortunately, we are defending the city and have a great advantage."

   Immediately, Quietly sighed and said, "Our explosives have not been developed yet. If they are developed, this battle may be avoided, and now, this battle should be unavoidable."

  Xiao Changyi said: "You can make explosives with peace of mind, and leave the defense of the city to me." For the time being, they will all stay in Jingye City until An Jing produces explosives before making plans.

   "Hmm." Quiet thought so too. The most urgent task now is not only to defend the city of Jingye, but also to develop explosives, with a clear division of labor, in order to better complete these two items.

   Continue to eat.

   But Jingjing couldn't help but think about defending the city. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "Xiang Gong!"

  Xiao Changyi laughed softly: "What good solution have you come up with?"

An Jing also laughed immediately, "Whoever knows me is my husband~" Immediately, she took a few smiles and said seriously: "You guys guarding the city are too backward, I think of one thing that can help us better guard. city."

  Xiao Changyi asked cooperatively, "What?"

"Catapult."

   "Catapult..." Xiao Changyi actually understood it literally, and his cold eyes brightened slightly.

"It's a cart that throws stones. I used this to defend the city in ancient times. Think about it, if the stone was big and sharp, and it was thrown from the tower with a cart, it would definitely smash the attackers. Lost soldiers and generals."

   said, Quiet did not eat anymore, simply put down the tableware, walked to the desk in the other part of the room, picked up a pen, and drew a simple catapult.

As soon as the painting was finished, An Jing pointed it to Xiao Changyi: "Xianggong, here, look, this is a catapult, put a big stone on the car, and a few people pull it down here quickly, and the big stone will was launched."

  The catapult uses the principle of leverage.

   The battle of Chilin wanting to retake Jingye City is unavoidable. At this moment, Quiet just wants to defend Jingye City, so that Xiyun soldiers will not suffer any more casualties as much as possible.

  Xiao Changyi took the blueprint, looked at it carefully, and said, "I'll go ahead and ask people to do more of this. It happens that this city is next to a mountain, and there are many trees."

   Quietly said: "I don't know when they will attack the city, but there is nothing wrong with us preparing early."

   "Hmm." Xiao Changyi thought so too.

   Immediately, Xiao Changyi hurried out and asked Meng Zhuqing, who was standing at the door, to take the blueprints to Xilin City to find some carpenters to make the catapult, and instructed some people in the Qin area to chop down trees on the mountain and come back.

   Immediately afterwards, Xiao Changyi instructed Qin Er to bring people to transport stones to the tower.

   After the order was completed, Xiao Changyi didn't even look at Tuobayao who was guarding the door, and walked back to the room to have lunch with An Jing.
