In Nancheng of Changwu County, Tao Shang ordered the trebuchets brought from Jinling City to be erected one by one on the mountain where he and Guo Jia inspected Changwu County together a few days ago.
In recent years, under the supervision of Zhang Hong, Jinling City's production technology has advanced rapidly. The catapults of the year have been changed to assembled ones, which can be easily transported after being disassembled and assembled as they are used, which is very convenient.
This was the inspiration given to craftsmen when Zhuge Liang created the Rubik's Cube.
Nowadays, times have changed. Under the protection of the pottery merchants, the city of Jinling is prosperous and prosperous. The people are prosperous and the country is prosperous. Not only is the economy and population growing by leaps and bounds, but even this technology is also rising with the increase in population and the strengthening of the economy.
Countless assembled trebuchets have been placed on the mountain, and the pottery merchant stood next to the trebuchets, looking at the panoramic view of the small town, and couldn't help but feel high-spirited.
This is what it means to be able to stand at the top of the mountain and see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance.
Looking at the densely packed tents behind the low city wall below, the potter slowly closed his eyes and told Ji Ling behind him: "It's time to start."
Ji Ling seemed to be hesitant and did not immediately follow the potter's order.
The potter frowned, turned his head and said, "What? Didn't you hear me?"
Ji Ling swallowed softly, then raised his hands to the pottery merchant and said, "Prime Minister, isn't this a bit unethical... You might as well kill them for fun."
The potter frowned and said, "Isn't that what I'm doing now? Besides, what's wrong with using trebuchets to attack a city?"
Ji Ling turned around and looked at the stones that were about to be thrown into the city. Each one was carefully wrapped in cloth.
If you want to throw stones, just throw them properly... Why did you take these stones to the manure pit and let them pass through the water last night?
Isn’t this just disgusting!
Although Ji Ling had only been working under the pottery merchant for a short time, he was a relatively straightforward man, and he saw that the pottery merchant was very kind to Yuan Wan, so he became loyal to the pottery merchant.
Since you have given your loyalty, you have the responsibility to advise your lord not to do things that are too damaging to your moral character.
It is easy to lose Yang and longevity.
"Prime Minister, I think that since we are throwing stones to attack the city, we should attack the city with stones in a serious way. It is normal for the two armies to fight and wrap the corpses in horse leather. But now... the Prime Minister has the normal stones not to throw, so he has to throw away these stinking stones.
Shit, isn't this an intentional attempt to humiliate Huang Zhong? Killing someone is just a nod. Since the Prime Minister has a reputation as a gentleman, he should act more humanely. You might as well kill him with a single blow."
Tao Shang reached out and patted Ji Ling's generous shoulder and said: "General Ji is really an honest man, I think highly of you! It's not that Tao has to deliberately disgust Huang Zhong, it's actually because Shan Li's perspective is limited, here.
Throwing stones to attack the city is only for the purpose of intimidation at best, and will not cause much damage to Huang Zhong's defenders... So I added some condiments to the stone bullets, which is just to stimulate the generals.
, there is absolutely no intention to insult anyone.”
Ji Ling's face twitched when he heard this.
Such a strong reason...
"Prime Minister, what should the people in the city think? They are innocent."
Tao Shang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Huang Zhong has moved all the people to the inner city a long time ago. Tao is born to love the people like a son, and he did this only after he inquired about it. At present, the outer city is full of soldiers and cannot be smoked."
People, General Ji, please stop hesitating...quickly pull the strings and fire off the cannons!"
Okay! Huang Zhong, a sentimental man, moved the people inland, which gave you a reason to be mean!
Ji Ling shook his head and stopped persuading. Then he waved his big hand and yelled at the messengers behind him: "Trebuchet, release!"
The soldiers carefully pulled away the oilcloth from the ammunition, while trying hard to suppress the urge to feel nauseated!
A stench floated in the air, causing everyone to pinch their noses, and many people couldn't help but wet themselves.
But it's no wonder that these marbles have been soaked in the manure pit all night.
Ji Ling took a few steps back and muttered: "A gentleman's methods are indeed beyond the reach of a warrior like me. It would be better not to offend him in the future!"
"put!"
"Boom~!"
"Boom~!"
Countless stone bullets were thrown by the trebuchet with great force, like meteors all over the sky...the stink stars all over the sky roared and bombarded towards the city where Huang Zhong was.
Many Jingzhou troops in the city were caught off guard and were directly hit by flying stones.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a sudden burst of people jumping on their backs at the top and bottom of Nancheng.
"Quick! Quick! The enemy is attacking the city!"
"It's the enemy attacking the city!"
"Get protection quickly!"
"It's the catapult of the Xuzhou Army!"
"Be careful, don't get hit by rocks!"
"..."
"..."
"Eh? Why does this stone smell so bad?"
"This, this is... too exciting!"
"Ugh~!"
"Damn it, the Xuzhou Army is flying rocks! Why is it mixed with shit?"
All of a sudden, there was a lot of tremors all over the city walls in the south city, and many Jingzhou Army soldiers were injured by flying stones.
But more people were disgusted by the stench and the filth splattered on their bodies.
How disgusting... Even those companions who were injured and fell to the ground were not willing to save them.
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan also came after hearing the news at this moment.
The two of them had just climbed to the top of the city and were about to instruct the soldiers to calm down when they smelled a stench coming from the ground.
The smell is so fresh and fresh.
Huang Zhong frowned and his face suddenly turned pale.
Wei Yan was furious!
"Which damned bastard dares to resort to such despicable methods? It's so offensive..."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Zhong suddenly yelled: "Be careful, Mr. Zhang!"
After that, he stepped forward, raised his hand and struck a knife, directly deflecting a small flying stone that was heading towards Wei Yan.
Although the flying stone was swung away, the force of the two forces splashed away the feces and urine stained on the stone.
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were the closest and were directly splashed in the face.
Poor two generals, before they could see clearly what happened in Nancheng, their faces were covered with filth.
The two of them directly put on a layer of mask.
Huang Zhong stretched out his hand, wiped it hard on his face, then put it under his nose and smelled it gently.
"It tastes so good... It seems that the Xuzhou Army's food is pretty good. There's a lot of oil and water. It's better than what our Jingzhou Army eats."
Wei Yan does not have the good temper of Huang Zhong.
"You damn Tao thief, how dare you be so rude! General Huang, I have been ordered to fight out of the city! You have to let Tao Jun know how powerful we are at all costs... This is too bullying!"
Huang Zhong frowned and thought for a moment.
Frankly speaking, he also wanted to know how powerful the pottery merchant was.
I have heard for a long time that there are many strong generals in the Southeast, so maybe it would be a good thing to take this opportunity to learn from them.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhong immediately turned to Wei Yan and said: "I see that the power of the flying rocks in the city is not very great. Let the shield soldiers come here to form their own formations, and the soldiers under the city avoid it carefully. It is not a big deal... It's just that the flying rocks are not very powerful."
The shit and urine on the stone...Oh, that kid named Tao can think of it, he is a gentleman, bah!...He is really a little scoundrel, a little hooligan!"
When Wei Yan heard this, he nodded and ordered his men to gather soldiers everywhere to do the same.
"General Huang, are you asking for a battle?"
"It doesn't matter, if people bully us like this and we don't respond in any way, but people still look down on you and me, just go out and fight, and I will hold the line for you!"
"Promise!" Wei Yan was overjoyed and turned around to order troops.
"Chang Wen, wait a minute!" Huang Zhong called to him.
Wei Yan turned his head in confusion and said, "General Huang, do you have any other orders?"
"Wash your face before leaving the city and urinate with your feces. Wouldn't it make Xuzhou Army laugh out loud?"
