General Qin.

"Uncle Wu, give me a hand."

Wu Guanggang piled up the stones in front of him, when he heard the call of a man called Gua Zuo next to him.

He responded, and walked over to help the other party carry the basket full of barbed terriers, and put it on the city wall where the ink scribbled marked out for the barbed terriers.

"Oh my mother, I'm so exhausted after working for a whole day."

Gua Lei screamed, and was about to sit down to rest, but just as his butt touched the ground, he let out a scream like a pig, and jumped up straight away.

"Pain! It's fair to die from pain!"

"It's stuck in my back door!"

Wu Guang saw that Gua's butt was pierced by a barbed caltrop that fell to the ground at some point, so he quickly reached out to help Gua get it out.

The miserable cry attracted the eyes of many Chu people who were busy on the city wall.

"What are you shouting about? Hurry up and work!"

The Chu soldiers who were in charge of the guard came over and scolded: "If you don't fix the city defense well, when those Qin people come over, all your heads will be chopped off!"

Wu Guang and Gua hurriedly begged for mercy and pleaded guilty.

The two joined in the busy work of arranging the city defense, and according to the instructions of Mo Zhe and Chu Zu, they moved all kinds of city defense materials and put them in the corresponding places.

After a lot of busy work, they finally had a little time to rest when they were eating, and chatted against the city wall.

"Uncle Wu, do you think what we have done is really useful? I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of Qin troops going south this time. How much are these hundreds of thousands? Are there more Chu troops in Yangxia?" ?”

Gua blinked. As a poor man, he didn't know what hundreds of thousands meant. For him, as long as the number exceeded his fingers and toes, he couldn't figure it out.

Wu Guang silently stuffed a handful of dry rice into his mouth, making a "clack" sound between his teeth rubbing against each other.

Although he is called "Uncle Wu", in fact he has just grown up, and his jaw is still bald, with few beards.

The reason why he is called "Uncle" is just his Wu Guang's character.

Wu Guang was originally a member of the Wu clan in Yangxia. Although he was a side branch, his family had enough money to support him in reading and writing, and he lived a decent life.

It's just that as Qin and Chu fought, Yangxia was affected, and military disasters continued, causing Wu's family to fall.

Now that the Qin army is attacking, Feng Houyi, the defender of Yangxia, recruits the Chu people in the city to help defend the city, and Wu Guang is also among them.

He looked up and glanced at the piles of things on the city wall.

According to the instructions of the inkmen, a basket of caltrops should be placed on the city wall every few steps, and stones should be piled up every two steps.

A pile of stones costs at least 100 yuan, and you can throw them down to hit the enemy.

Every two steps, a stiletto, a long axe, and a long vertebra should be placed, and a wooden crossbow should be placed within a few steps, and its range should be guaranteed to be more than fifty steps.

In addition, there are various defense weapons on the city wall, such as qujiao, borrowing cars, stacks, buildings, arriving, Jiegao, distance, Feichong...

Of course, the most frightening weapon for defending the city is the Liannu machine specially made by the Mo family.

This kind of ballista is made of wood with a size of one foot square, with two axles and three wheels. The wheels are installed in the carriage. There are two upper and lower carriages, and the height is eight feet.The crossbow bed is made of wood with a circumference of one and five inches, and the bed weighs 120 catties.

There is also a collimator on the top, which can be adjusted up and down when there is a gap.

This kind of ballista can shoot ten-foot-long arrows, as many as sixty arrows at a time, and the lethality is very terrifying.

Such a terrifying war machine cannot be resisted by flesh and blood at all.However, there are not many such objects, and ten people are needed to operate them.

In addition to the defensive facilities on the city wall, Wu Guang occasionally poked his head through the female wall, and could see countless Chu soldiers and civilian husbands digging a very deep ditch below the city, and inserted bamboo arrows and wooden arrows in it, pointing towards On, it looks like a pain in the flesh.

And under the city wall, five hundred claws and sword blades are placed every five steps. The tips are sharpened, bound and inserted firmly, and covered with thatch. As long as a Qin soldier who is attacking the city steps on it, the feeling is even more painful. .

Compared with these defensive facilities, Wu Guang also heard that according to these Mozi's methods of defending the city, not only the Chu soldiers in the city, but even the common people in the head of Guizhou had to go up to defend the city.

For every 20 steps of the city wall, ten men, 60 adult women, ten young and old, plus [-] soldiers, totaled hundreds of people.

Such a defensive method is extremely tight, it can be called an iron wall and an iron wall, Wu Guang couldn't help being amazed when he saw it.

However, Wu Guang couldn't help shivering when he thought of the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops heading south.

Unlike Gua, who is ignorant and ignorant of numbers, the educated Wu Guang knows what it means to have an army of hundreds of thousands.

He sneaked a peek at the rough-haired old man and his disciples who were accompanying Chu General Feng Houyi in the distance to inspect the situation of the defense.

Those are the southern inks who came to help the Chu army defend the city.

What popped up in Wu Guang's mind was that when his family was in the middle of nowhere, when he was driving with his father, he saw a praying mantis with its arms raised high, intending to resist the rolling wheels on the road ahead.

"The arm of a mantis is like a cart, and it is crushed into dust."

……

"Mr. Deng Ling, the Mohist defense technique is really exquisite. With the help of Mohists like you, I will definitely be able to keep the Qin army out."

Feng Houyi was very happy, as expected, professional matters should be left to professional people.

If he defends the city by himself, at most he will prepare some huge stones and giant trees to defend the city. There is no Mohist who is so professional, and they will arrange it properly for you. Just look at the rows of shining sharp claws below the city. Just let him feel at ease.

But Deng Lingzi, the leader of Chu Mo who entered the city this time, looked heavy and shook his head: "I heard that the Qin army has the secret technique of the giant cannon left by the former Gongshuzi, which can create a weapon that can shoot a hundred catties of boulders. With this giant cannon, Yangxia Town may be hard to stop."

"Master, why do you need to grow the morale of the Qin people? In my opinion, the secret technique of Gongshuzi is just bragging about it. If there is such a technique, why did the Qin army fail to take down even a Xiangcheng last year, and returned after being defeated, haha .”

Beside Deng Lingzi, a young Mohist named Bai Fai laughed.

When Qin and Chu were at war last year, they happened to go to Qi State, where they were invited by Qi Mo, and they did not participate in the battle between Qin and Chu, nor did they see the Qin people's cannon secret technique.

Based on Bai Fei's thinking, even his Mohists couldn't make something that could launch a hundred-jin boulder, so how could Gongshu Pan, who died 200 years ago, have such a mechanism left behind.

And even if you stay, so what?
Bai Fei said proudly: "Our methods of defending the city are all based on the "Mo Jing" left by Zi Mozi.

"In the old days, Gongshu Pan and Zimozi attacked each other. Zimozi untied his belt as a city and used ultimatum as his weapon. Gongshu Panjiu set up a siege of the city nine times, and Zimozi separated him nine times. Gongshu Banji's attacking weapons were exhausted, and Zimo From this point of view, the method of my Mohist school should be the nemesis of Gongshu's lineage, what kind of giant cannon is just something that the Qin people boast about."

Feng Houyi on the side nodded in agreement, but he had other ideas in his heart.

As a general of the Chu army, he knew the power of the Qin army's giant cannons. The reason why he didn't capture Xiangcheng last year was because Xiangnai was a big city with thick walls, far from comparable to that of Yangxia, let alone the garrison inside. Xiang Qu's tens of thousands of troops were able to hold on.

If this is the case, the city wall of Xiangcheng was almost blown down by the giant cannon. If there is no rebellion by young master Qi, I am afraid that Meng Wu will be able to take down Xiangcheng in a few days.

So Feng Houyi knew very well from the very beginning that even with the help of Mohist, he would never be able to defend the city.

What he thought in his heart was "survive for a few days with the method of defending the city by these Mohists, and then abandon the city and flee. When he arrived in Chenying, it can be said that he retreated after a fierce battle with Feng Houyi. With this excuse, he wanted to come Will not be subject to military law."

Hearing his disciple's words, Deng Lingzi shook his head. He didn't think the words of the giant cannons were true. What's more, even if the Qin army's vanguard couldn't break through their defense with giant cannons, what about the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in the rear?

There is no way for them to survive this trip.

But Deng Lingzi still came with his disciples, the last Mohist from the South, and came without hesitation.

Just because they put absolute "righteousness" and "faith" first in their hearts, and for the sake of the ideals in their hearts, they will never back down even if they go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire.

They are the last ones who have inherited the concept of "universal love and non-aggression".

He is also the "last successor" of Zimozi.

They travel among the nations, preventing the big nations from bullying the small ones, going to and from the marketplace, and helping the weak against the strong.

They will always stand by the side of the weak and help them!
Now that the Qin State is attacking Chu and using the strong to bully the weak, they will naturally stand up and stop it for the "righteousness" in their hearts.

Die without regret.

This is their own morality that they abide by!

At this moment, there were bursts of exclamations on the city wall, and countless Chu people screamed.

Deng Lingzi looked up.

Bai Fei looked up.

Even Wu Guang, who was resting against the city wall, hurriedly stood up, lay down on the wall, and looked out. When he saw it clearly, his nervous body suddenly became stiff and tense.

he sees.

On the land in the distance, black and black flags fluttered in the wind, one after another. Under the flags, Qin soldiers in black armor lined up in a neat array, walking in unison to the sound of drums. The long snake is winding from the north.

In the mouth and body of the long snake, there are countless fangs and spikes composed of spears, spears, swords and halberds, which are dazzling and frightening.

On both sides, there are countless mighty chariots and cavalry galloping.

The sound of rolling wheels and the sound of horseshoes moving, like the rumbling of thunder, shocked people's ears and eyes.

Qin Jun, here we come!
There is another update tonight, it will be a bit late
