Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-Three: The Potential

Zhu Jun ran away again.

From the time Shi Zhuang launched an attack, to the moment when Zhu's army sent two troops to fail to attack from the city gates on both sides, to the moment when the city wall in front was blown down by a huge stone bullet, Zhu's army fled.

This person has indeed unparalleled grasp of the timing of escape.

At this moment, he could not care about the death order given to him that Zhu Shou had to keep for more than fifteen days.

Whether Zhu Shou killed him or not was a matter of the future, but now if he doesn't run away, he will die soon.

Ten thousand soldiers in Dongguang, who were in the sea, disappeared in an instant, more than a thousand people died in battle, three or four thousand ran away, and all the rest became prisoners.

Shi Zhuang led his troops to Dongguang City.

The Zhu army ran too fast, and the food and weapons prepared for ten thousand soldiers in Dongguang City fell completely into Shi Zhuang's water.

"General, Zhu Jun ran away and didn't catch up." Li De turned over and got off the horse, looked at Shi Zhuang, and said regretfully.

"If you run away, you run away. It's better if such a guy runs away. Maybe you will face him again. You should also like such an enemy very much, right?" Shi Zhuang said with a smile.

"That's of course." Li De grinned.

"Who doesn't like such an enemy? By the way, General Shi, I see that you posted an Anmin notice and a ban at the city gate. The brothers' wish to make a fortune was emptied!"

Shi Zhuang snorted: "In the past six months, you and your people have made a fortune, but it is not enough? From now on, these places will be ruled by the young master and will be the young master's people. Why do you still want to rob them?"

Li De smiled and said, "General Shi was joking. What should we do next?"

"The first step is of course to disperse the prisoners. Each person sent dozens of kilograms of grain for them to carry home and live a good life." Shi Zhuang said: "The county magistrate in the city ran away with Zhu Jun, but I caught the county magistrate and some officials. Now there is no one available, so let them continue to be this official! Help us do the work first. Leave a thousand people to guard Dongguang, and the rest go to Nanpi with me!"

"It's basically no trouble today. Why don't I set off for Nanpi overnight? The soldiers are more powerful!" Li Dedao.

"You leave first tomorrow morning." Shi Zhuang rolled his eyes and said.

"What's there to be urgent?"

Li De smiled and knew that his little thoughts had been seen through by Shi Zhuang. This was to warn himself not to do anything randomly.

Well, he didn't need that two money anyway, but he just turned around and warned his brothers. Since the military order that would not disturb the people has been issued, don't hit it up against the wind, otherwise it would be really unpaid if you lose your head.

When Shi Zhuang took Dongguang, the main force led by Li Ze and Cao Xin had already arrived in Botou.

Dozens of soldiers were assembling a large stone thrower that was exactly the same as Shi Zhuang under the guidance of a carpenter. As the stone thrower slowly took shape, Gao Xiangsheng's mouth opened wider and wider.

In Chang'an, there are naturally many large defensive equipment, such as a catapult, which is naturally indispensable.

But this was the first time he saw a stone throwing tool that fired such a huge stone bomb.

"This is a counterweight stone thrower." Li Ze looked at Gao Xiangsheng with a smile and said, "It is very different from the stone thrower we usually see using rope torque. Not only does the range be longer, the projectile is larger, but more importantly, it has higher accuracy. Although it can't be said to hit wherever it is pointed, it is almost certainly inseparable."

Gao Xiangsheng looked at the stone bullet weighing hundreds of kilograms on the side, and was speechless.

The trenchers in Chang'an usually throw more than ten kilograms of stone balls.

Compared with the equipped trench machine in front of you, it really looks like a toy.

More importantly, such a terrifying siege tool only requires more than a dozen people to operate it.

In one day, Li Ze's army assembled eight such huge stone throwers.

When they appeared under the Botou City Wall, He Chong on the opposite side was also shocked.

The Potou, where He Chong was stationed, was much more important than the geographical location of Dongguang. He Chong led his headquarters to garrison with 1,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 government troops to garrison.

In order to be able to defend Botou, He Chong still thought of many ways.

There is a moat in Botou.

On the other side of the moat, He Chong built more than a dozen earth towers in a few months. These earth towers are connected to Botou City with wooden trests and crossing the moat.

Above the earth tower, there are crossbows, which can fire crossbow arrows or small stone bullets of about several kilograms.

More importantly, people can be hidden in these earth towers.

If the Yizhou Army wants to attack Botou, the first step to overcome is the attack of these earth towers.

They can use crossbows to attack. If more than a dozen earth towers attack at the same time, they can also form a team of hundreds to one thousand people in a very short time to launch a counterattack.

But when He Chong saw the huge trench and saw that the stone cannon in the square easily destroyed one of the earth towers he had worked hard to build, he knew that the defensive plan he had prepared was of no use at all.

He immediately ordered that more than ten earth towers immediately gathered and launched an active attack on the Yizhou army. He also led all his soldiers to attack the eight catapults as soon as possible.

If these ghosts are not destroyed, even the walls of Botou cannot withstand the other party's bombardment, even if the walls of Botou are covered with stones.

He Chong's reaction made both Li Ze and Cao Xin highly appreciate it, but he was disdainful of his attack.

Because in front of the eight huge stone throwers, not only were there thousands of soldiers stationed, but more importantly, the Modao team led by Li Han was also there.

The Modao team has now expanded to 300 people.

This is Li Ze who moved from Dezhou to nearly 100,000 Dingkou, and Yizhou Dingkou also exceeded 200,000, barely selected more than 200,000 people, and formed the current army with the previous one hundred Modaoshi.

Of course, he still hasn't prepared these people with the same armor as the real Mo Dao Hand. It's not that he can't afford the money now, but that Mo Dao Hand's armor is extremely difficult to make and is very different from ordinary armor. If a set of armor is made by a skilled blacksmith, it will take at least about a year.

Modao Hand’s armor will be reused. If a Modao Hand dies in battle or retires, their armor, including Modao, will be recycled.

Of course, although it was difficult, Li Ze still organized dozens of blacksmiths to do this. These blacksmiths needed to study the structure of this armor first and then start making it. God knows when they will make the first finished product.

For this reason, Gao Xiangsheng said to Li Ze with temptation that there are still a thousand sets of such Modao-hand armor hidden in Chang'an's arsenal, but there are no suitable personnel to use, and the court cannot afford a huge Modao-hand team, which makes them covered in dust in the warehouse.

"If one day Mr. Li can go to Chang'an Jin to meet the emperor and become the emperor's loyal minister, these things may be rewarded to you." Gao Xiangsheng at that time looked at Li Ze who was fascinated by his leisurely smiled like an old fox that had been a thousand-year-old.

"It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish." The greed in Li Ze's eyes flashed for a while, and his eyes became clear again. "Compared with those thousand sets of armed swordsmen, I prefer that the emperor lend me the craftsman's shop to use."

As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an has now declined its imperial power, but this city is still the largest city in the world at that time, with thirty-eight streets and 110 lifangs forming that huge city. Li Ze once compared his Wuyi in his heart. Wuyi was probably like a remote small village.

Of course, I am going where I want to go.

The craftsman shop mentioned by Li Ze gathered the most wise craftsmen of the entire Tang Dynasty. Even now, these people still represent the highest craftsmanship technology of the Tang Dynasty. They are passed down from father to son, and son to grandson, and are endless.

It’s just a pity that they are living a bad life now. If these skilled craftsmen are in their hands, how many things can they do? Although the craftsmen in their own farm are also very hard-working, technology and crafts are really not something they can make by hard work. They are two more knives, and sometimes they can make the craftsmen confused.

The Modao Hand, who was established, even the cavalry can compete with him, let alone the team led by He Chong, with one thousand soldiers leading the way, and three thousand palaces following him, He Chong was not willing to fight for his life. He took out all his strength to press the bottom of the wing.

But what happened was that they ran into Mo Dao's hand head-on.

When He Chong saw the heavy armor on his body, Mo Dao appeared in front of him with a heavy Mo Dao waving the heavy Mo Dao, his eyes were filled with despair.

That was exactly the same as Zhu Bin, who saw Mo Daoshi appear in Li Ze's team for the first time.

Li Han placed a hundred Yuan Mo Dao Hands all over the square array, and then placed the novice wearing ordinary armor in the middle. From the outside, it seemed that it was impossible to distinguish the difference between them at first glance. Besides, the sword light was as bright as snow, and hundreds of Mo Dao were waving. Under such circumstances, who could still distinguish between them?

When the soldiers' team was dispersed, Min Rou sent out the real Chengde wolf cavalry.

At this time, the Chengde Wolf Rider was used, so he waved the Killing Killing Killing Killing Killing Killing Killing Killing Chicken.

Whether it is the Modao Team or the Chengde Langqi, they are now the most powerful troops under Li Ze's command.

In the first battle with the Heng Navy, Li Ze, as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, took out the most powerful troops without hesitation, with the purpose of intimidating the Heng Navy.

The strength of the Yizhou Army will spread across the sea with this battle, laying a good foundation for the next decisive battle between the two sides. When the two sides meet on the battlefield again, the enemy will involuntarily fear this force.

With He Chong's death in battle and the earth towers outside the city were destroyed one by one, although there were nearly 10,000 defenders on Botou, he was completely scared.
