There are many differences between Guo Mengsheng and Lian Zhan, the people of Qianyue Mountain. He was originally a civil servant. He was ordered to lead Zuo Fengyi's army in times of crisis, and he also fought many victorious battles.

He was a rare prodigy in this dynasty, and was later personally appointed as the prefect of Feng Yi County by Emperor Wu.

Although the current situation has been turbulent in recent years, Feng Yi County has never made any mistakes.

It is enough to show that Guo Mengsheng is a fierce general and a handsome man who can stand alone.

However, as soon as Li Yunxing said these words, the soldiers who had been waiting for him suddenly became commotion, and many people began to whisper.

This time Li Yunxing and the fifth prince came to Feng Yi County to test weapons, which actually meant to win over Guo Mengsheng.

"Oh? I wonder what His Highness the Crown Prince brought?"

At this time, Li Yunxing gave Lin Qing a wink, and then several tall wooden frames covered with black cloth were pushed forward by the soldiers.

The soldiers formed a circle and presented the wooden frame in front of everyone.

Li Yunxing lifted up the black cloth on top, revealing the object inside.

"What is this?" Guo Mengsheng was very surprised. The shape was somewhat familiar, but he was a little confused for a while.

"This is a trebuchet polished by the Fifth Prince himself, also called a 'Thunderbolt Cannon'." Li Yunxing explained slowly.

After hearing Li Yunxing's words, everyone was in an uproar.

This trebuchet was a rarity in the Wu Dynasty. Even Guo Mengsheng's Feng Yi County only had two trebuchets.

But the prince gave him five sets as a gift, and they were strangely shaped ones.

This made them unable to react for a while.

"Your Highness, what is the use of this trebuchet? The general looks a little weird at this thing." Guo Mengsheng frowned, with an expression of disapproval.

Li Yunxing raised his lips and smiled, but his eyes turned to Li Fengke, "Fifth brother, give this trebuchet a good demonstration to Governor Guo."

"Yes, brother." Li Fengke replied respectfully.

Then he stepped forward and directed the soldiers to place it at the front of the trebuchet.

"You first adjust the direction according to the method I just taught you, and then..."

Li Fengke patiently explained. As he explained, just three people could throw the huge stone far away with just three people working together.

With a "bang" sound, the boulder fell to the ground.

On the opposite mountain, a jungle of giant trees that were ten people tall collapsed to the ground, sending smoke and dust everywhere.

"Wow! This... is really amazing!"

"I didn't expect it to be so effective! If used on the battlefield, it would be invincible."

"This thing...this thing is awesome!"

This time there was an explosion in the entire military camp.

"This...this..." Guo Mengsheng's eyes widened in surprise.

Guo Mengsheng's eyes flashed with surprise, but he did not say his words of exclamation, but stared at the trebuchet quietly.

Although he doesn't know much about trebuchets, he can feel the power of this thing just based on its effect!

And this thing was actually made by the fifth prince! It was simply unbelievable to him.

"Prefect Guo, what do you think of this?" Li Yunxing had a smile on his lips.

Guo Mengsheng was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately.

On the contrary, it was the soldiers in the military camp who exploded.

"Your Highness, this thing is indeed very useful. If it is equipped in the army, it will definitely reduce casualties!"

"That's awesome!"

"Your Highness, who researched this thing?"

"It's the fifth prince, it's the fifth prince!" Someone immediately shouted loudly, which aroused everyone's resonance.

Li Fengke felt a little excited in his heart. He didn't like to be in the limelight. For so many years, no one in the palace paid attention to him, not even a word of praise.

Now that he can be recognized by everyone, this is simply an unexpected joy for him.

After all, Li Fengke is also a child, and someone praising him is enough to make him happy.

Before actually trying it, he never thought that something he made by himself would have such an effect.

However, this mood did not last long.

Just as they were eager to prepare for the second test launch, there was suddenly a harsh tearing sound.

Unexpectedly, the trebuchet got stuck!

Everyone was startled and looked at the stuck trebuchet in astonishment.

"How could..." Li Fengke on the side obviously didn't expect it to turn out like this, and couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Li Yunxing was calm and collected. He walked forward and inspected it carefully. Then he raised his head and said to Li Fengke: "This wood is too hard and has been exposed to the sun for many days without maintenance. Now it is brittle and broken."

Hearing Li Fengke nodded, he stepped forward to check the fracture.

"Brother Huang is right. If it is properly maintained, such a problem will never occur."

"Why don't we try the largest trebuchet first? It is the final product and should not have such problems."

In order to avoid breakage, a layer of resin is painted on it to prevent breakage.

After a while, a boulder was thrown again.

This time, we were very lucky. The boulder hit the cliff on the mountainside steadily. Unexpectedly, a huge protruding rock on the cliff was directly penetrated by the boulder.

Seeing this scene, everyone present swallowed their saliva in unison.

This... this is too scary!

If this were on the battlefield, wouldn't it be possible to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop?!

Everyone looked at the magical trebuchet in front of them, and their hearts were filled with shock and admiration!

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Li Yunxing no longer continued the experiment.

He patted Guo Mengsheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Prefect Guo, are you willing to accept the gift from me?"

"Your Highness, this..." Guo Mengsheng was naturally greedy. No one who has not led troops to fight would refuse such a battlefield weapon.

But Guo Mengsheng also understood that since this thing could be created, it must have a reason for its existence.

Li Yunxing smiled slightly and said, "Prefect Guo, don't worry. Why don't we talk about it in the tent?"

Guo Mengsheng nodded and followed Li Yunxing into the main tent.

Li Fengke, on the other hand, was still thinking about the problem of the breakup just now and did not follow up the account.

Then he and Guo Mengsheng sat down, and Li Yunxing took a sip of tea, and then said slowly and leisurely: "Prefect Guo, now that the catapult has been built, I believe Prefect Guo also knows my intention, right?"

Guo Mengsheng pondered for a long time, and then said: "His Royal Highness, you want to use this catapult to attack the Huns?"

"Prefect Guo is smart, that's what I mean."

This is exactly what Guo Mengsheng is worried about. In today's peaceful and prosperous times, in order to expand his own strength, His Royal Highness actually wants to use such means as declaring war on the Huns.

Little did he know how much trouble this would bring to the people of Li!

However, Guo Mengsheng knew in his heart that he could not change anything, he just hoped that this matter would not involve him.
