Cheng Xu secretly laughed in his heart: What age are we in, and we still talk about the Six Arts of a Gentleman. Now it’s the Ming Dynasty, and even dogs don’t learn the Six Arts of a Gentleman.
Cheng Xu said: "Mr. Bai, I will stop talking nonsense. If the bandit army on Huanglong Mountain goes to other counties, it is none of my business. But if it enters Chengcheng County, I must take care of it. So in the past few days, I have to make trouble in Baijiapu."
Bai Yuan knew that this guy's so-called "nuisance" actually meant that he had to stay here to eat and drink. This kind of thing was an old rule. When the imperial army went on an expedition, it would eat the big houses wherever it went. If there were no big houses to eat, it would be very difficult. It is possible that the troops will plunder the people...
Of course, if the local civil servants are involved in plundering the people, the military attache may lose his head. When trying to take advantage of a big business, if someone with a strong background and strong background is involved, the military attache may be involved in the crime, but he will still lose his head.
Everyone is dancing on the tightrope!
Bai Yuan doesn't mind having officers and soldiers come to eat at the big house. If a regular group of officers and soldiers can be stationed in the fort, it will be a good thing for the current Baijia Fort. Even if there is a war, these officers and soldiers will most likely run away, but they As long as they are stationed here, they can have a deterrent effect on thieves.
fruit.
Scaring the thieves away from attacking is the most ideal outcome.
Bai Yuan smiled: "General Cheng is willing to station in my Baijiabao. It is a blessing for me, Mr. Bai, and a blessing for all the people within a radius of more than ten miles around Baijiabao. Please come in."
Cheng Xu led his troops into the fort and saw that the Baijiabao wall was being renovated, widened, thickened and talled. Unfortunately, Baijiabao had limited manpower and the wall was not built fast enough. Now it is only a semi-finished product and is still there. The level of the squire's compound was far from being able to withstand a large-scale bandit attack.
Dozens of servants and hundreds of militiamen, armed with bows and arrows, were stationed throughout the fort. There were sentries on the four corner towers, keeping a close watch on all directions.
Cheng Xu thought to himself: This Baijia Fort is quite strong, but this alone is far from enough. Even if I add one hundred soldiers, if I want to resist five or six thousand thieves, I still have to report to my great-grandmother.
Grandma, my great-grandson is still young and can't go to your place yet. If a thief comes, his great-grandson will definitely be the first to run away. Please don't blame me for weakening the reputation of the Cheng family.
While he was thinking about something that was not there, the sentry on the corner tower suddenly lowered his head and shouted: "Master, Master!"
His shout almost scared Cheng Xu out of his wits, and he screamed: "What's going on? Are the bandits coming?"
Bai Yuan raised her head: "Say!"
The sentry shouted happily: "The fifth grade of high school is here."
"Fifth grade of high school?" Bai Yuan asked curiously: "Who is it?"
The sentry sweated: "That big idiot in Gaojiacun has been to our place several times."
Bai Yuan suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered, it was that guy, I remember it very clearly."
Servants: "..."
The sentry said loudly: "Gao Chuwu and Zheng Daniu drove a large car with the Xianjia trebuchet on it."
When Bai Yuan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "The Xianjia trebuchet? Is it the one we used when we dealt with the Supreme Ming King?"
The sentry also participated in the battle of the Supreme Ming King with Bai Yuan last time, so he recognized him and said loudly: "Yes, that's the one."
Bai Yuan laughed: "Hurry, open the fort door quickly and welcome him in."
Sentry: "The car is too big. It looks like it can't enter the fort, so it has to stop at the gate of the fort."
Cheng Xu stood nearby and listened to Bai Yuan and the sentry saying something strange. He really couldn't understand it. What kind of vehicle can transport a trebuchet? Since ancient times, trebuchets have been temporarily made by cutting down wood for the siege party, or they are return artillery used by the Mongols, equipped with four wheels, and pushed by the army.
I have never heard of any trebuchet being transported by car. How big of a car is this?
Cheng Xu simply took two steps and three steps at a time, ran up the fortress wall, stood on the turret, looked outside, and saw a super giant car nearly nine feet long, rumbling along the official road. The huge wheels crushed the withered grass on both sides of the official road, sending dust and sand everywhere with an astonishing momentum.
Cheng Xu's chin almost dropped to the ground: "Scared? What kind of ghost car?"
The deputy inspector leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Boss, I remembered that last time we ambush the rebels of the Little Overlord, a strange car suddenly came out, hit the Little Overlord to death, and then drove away. Could it be that..."
Cheng Xu shook his head: "The strange car at that time was much smaller than this one now."
Deputy Inspector: "But the strange plates on the car and these strange black wheels are the same."
He was talking about rubber tires and solar panels. Cheng Xu took a closer look and found that they were very similar. He lowered his voice and said, "Look more and talk less. Look at what is going on in Baijiabao and this strange car."
Sun Car No. 3 stopped at the gate of Baijiabao. Gao Chuwu and Zheng Daniu jumped out of the car and greeted the servants of Baijiabao with a smile.
Bai Yuan also went out and immediately organized his men to get the huge trebuchet out of the car.
The huge trebuchet, which is 2 feet long and wide, is very heavy, but it is really not a problem for those who do hard work. The people from Baijiabao first tied ropes to the trebuchet. Dozens of people worked together to pull the ropes, and then sent a few more people. Climb onto the cart, use a long stick to pry the other side hard, and just use both sides together.
With great force, the huge trebuchet slowly slid out of the carriage...
Cheng Xu stood on the turret of Baijiabao and watched them work, with a slight twist of the corner of his mouth: "These idiots, if such a big trebuchet is pulled from such a high carriage, it will fall apart if it hits the ground. Yes,
It's quite a delicate thing.
Before he finished speaking, the trebuchet fell and hit the ground with a loud bang.
But the scene of Cheng Xu's imagination of falling apart did not appear. How could plastic be broken so easily? Not only was it not broken, it also bounced very well after a few times.
Cheng Xu: "Fuck, what kind of trebuchet is this?"
The huge trebuchets were pulled out of the car one by one, using rolling logs as wheels, and pushed into Baijiabao. After a while, ten of them were deployed.
Bai Yuan was overjoyed, grabbed Gao Chuwu and said, "Go back and thank Heavenly Lord for me."
Gao Chuwu scratched his head and smiled naively: "Okay, I'll give you the trebuchet, then we'll go back."
Bai Yuan waved goodbye, then turned around, feeling refreshed and said, "Call the strongest farmer in the fort over. I'm going to teach him how to use this trebuchet."
Cheng Xu stood on the fortress wall watching the show and thought to himself: These colorful and very informal trebuchets don't even have a tendon on them. How can they eject stones? This thing is totally useless.
But he was immediately slapped in the face!
Bai Yuan directed the farmers to come over, put the stones into the big spoon of the trebuchet, and then directed the farmers to hit the machine with a big hammer. The plastic arm of the trebuchet vibrated silently, and with one throw, the huge stone He climbed over the fort wall and flew to the open space outside, landing with a loud "boom".
