Lu Bu saw Old Suntou walking away, opened the summons order, and was about to move to the lonely Xianyu when a prompt appeared in front of him.
"There are still 30 minutes until the offline time. Players should be prepared. If they are not offline by then, they will be forced to go offline."
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then put away the summons and walked quickly towards the outskirts of the woods.
After finding a relatively safe place, Lu Bu said silently in his mind, "Go offline."
A white light flashed, and Lu Bu returned to his study.
After getting used to the surrounding environment, Lu Bu took out the catapult ball and put it in front of his eyes for inspection.
After a long time, Lu Bu stood up and walked out of the study.
Zhang Hu and Li Gu were about to leave and hurriedly followed them, but were stopped by Lu Bu with a wave of his hand.
"You guys are here to guard."
Lu Bu came to the backyard alone, followed the path, and went straight to the martial arts training ground.
Soon, they came to a small, independent courtyard, which was used for martial arts training. There was a row of houses to the west for resting, and opposite the house, there was an open space.
It was getting late now, and everyone in the mansion had already rested. Lu Bu stood alone in the middle of the open space, looked around again, and after making sure that no one was there, he thought silently in his heart.
"Use the catapult."
As the words fell, Lu Bu felt as if his eyes were in a trance for a moment. The next moment, a huge creature appeared in front of Lu Bu.
Thanks to the open space of the training ground, otherwise, the huge catapult would really not be able to fit.
Lu Bu stepped forward and looked at the catapult carefully.
The catapult is overall black and gray, just like the material in the woods on the Black Iron Mountain. It looks hard and heavy.
The long catapult was placed horizontally on the catapult, and there were eight wheels underneath for easy pushing.
Lu Bu reached out and pushed, but found that even if he pushed with all his strength, the catapult would move slightly, which was extremely heavy.
After looking around carefully and reading the introduction of the catapult again, Lu Bu realized that at least ten people were needed to drive the catapult.
Among these ten people, eight are to push the huge winch, and the other two are, one is in charge of launching, and the other is checking the distance and direction.
Lu Bu originally wanted to test the power of the catapult, but he couldn't drive it alone, so he had to give up.
"Take back the catapult."
Lu Bu held the catapult ball in his hand and stood under the moonlight, frowning slightly and thinking in his heart.
If you want to drive a catapult, you need enough manpower.
The question is, who will drive the catapult?
It is Lu Bu's secret and must not be easily known to outsiders. Even if it is used during siege, it must not be known to too many people.
Lu Bu thought for a long time before making up his mind.
…
Early the next morning, Lu Bu ordered people to find Gao Shun and ordered him to bring 100 soldiers to wait for orders.
Originally, the person Lu Bu trusted the most was Wei Xu, because Wei Xu was the cousin of the eldest lady Yan. In his opinion, Wei Xu was a relative and would naturally not betray him.
But after listening to the lonely Xianyu's words in the game, Lu Bu's thoughts changed.
Because he already knew that after going to Xuzhou and experiencing the Baimenlou incident, Wei Xu would betray him mercilessly. Even if he was his relative, he still chose to betray with Hou Cheng and others.
Although Lu Bu will not be unfavorable to Wei Xu now, he will definitely not trust him as before.
On the contrary, Gao Shun, who was not a relative, was particularly outstanding in Baimenlou. He would rather die with him than betray him.
When he heard the lonely Xianyu say this, Lu Bu was also a little moved.
Although Gao Shun had always been loyal to him, and Lu Bu knew this, he never thought that someone would make that choice for him.
In fact, from that moment on, Lu Bu already regarded Gao Shun as his brother, the kind of brother who shared life and death.
Therefore, Gao Shun must be the one to test the catapult this time.
Not only that, Lu Bu has decided that even if there are any good things in the future, they will be used by Gao Shun, because he is the most trustworthy brother.
Soon, Gao Shun walked in from the door and said, "I will finally meet Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu nodded, smiled and said, "General Gao, have you brought 100 soldiers?"
Gao Shun nodded, "Brought it."
Lu Bu walked to Gao Shun and said, "The person I'm looking for is absolutely trustworthy and can't talk nonsense."
Gao Shun cupped his hand and said, "Please don't worry, Marquis Wen. The brothers brought by the general this time are all close confidants, and nothing will happen to him."
Lu Bu nodded, "Okay, in that case, take them and me outside the city."
After finishing speaking, Lu Bu took the lead and walked towards the door.
Outside the door, someone had already prepared a red rabbit horse. When they saw Lu Bu coming out, they hurriedly brought the horse over.
Lu Bu flew onto his horse, waved to everyone, and galloped away.
Gao Gao did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly pursued him with 100 soldiers.
The group left Puyang, walked along the official road for five or six miles, and came to a forest.
Lu Bu jumped off his horse, turned to Gao Shun and said, "You guys wait here for a moment, I'll go in and take a look."
Lu Bu had been to this forest before. Through the woods, there was a large open space with open terrain. If you wanted to test the power of the catapult, this was the best place.
The reason why Lu Bu went alone was of course because he wanted to release the catapult first.
When he reached the edge of the woods, Lu Bu suddenly turned around and waved to Gao Shun, "Come here too."
Lu Bu had already thought about it. Since Gao Shun was trustworthy, it would be good to let him see him. After all, he couldn't be mysterious all the time, otherwise it would arouse others' suspicion.
The two of them walked through the woods and came to the open space in front of them.
Lu Bu was standing in the middle of the open space. When he heard Gao Shun approaching, he reached out and took out the catapult ball, and suddenly said loudly, "Catapult, come out."
Gao Shung just came to Lu Bu and was startled when he heard these words, but in the blink of an eye, there was a sudden fluctuation in front of his eyes. The next moment, a huge catapult appeared in front of him.
Seeing this scene, even Gao Shun, who had always been calm, suddenly widened his eyes, looking at the catapult that appeared out of nowhere with disbelief.
After a while, Gao Shun suddenly remembered what Lu Bu had just shouted and was startled again. He turned to look at Lu Bu and asked with a trembling voice.
"Marquis Wen, what is this? How can there be such a thing?"
Lu Bu turned to look at Gao Shun and smiled slightly, "General Gao, you are my brother and the person I trust most, so I can hide some things from others, but I will not hide them from you."
Having said this, Lu Bu stretched out his hand and shouted loudly at the huge catapult.
"Catapult, come back."
As the words fell, in Gao Shun's shocked eyes, the huge catapult disappeared.
"Marquis Wen, where did the catapult go? Why did it suddenly disappear?"
Lu Bu put the small ball in his hand in front of Gao Shun, "General Gao, the catapult just now is this small ball."
"What?" Gao Shun was trembling with shock and pointed at the ball in disbelief, "Marquis Wen, do you think this ball is the huge catapult just now?"
Lu Bu nodded, "Yes, look."
After finishing speaking, Lu Bu shouted loudly again, "Catapult, show up!"
As the words fell, the huge catapult appeared in front of Gao Shun again.
Gao Shun stared at the catapult blankly, feeling a buzzing in his mind, almost suspecting that he was in a dream. After a long time, he suddenly turned around, knelt on one knee, and said loudly.
"The fact that Marquis Wen was able to obtain such a magical thing must have been favored by God, and he is willing to swear allegiance to him in the end."
Lu Bu stretched out his hand to help Gao Shun up and said with a smile, "General Gao, there is no need for this. I have already said that you are the person I trust most, so I will show you this thing."
Having said this, Lu Bu took back the catapult, then put the ball in his hand in front of Gao Shun and said slowly.
"General Gao, I believe you also know how important this thing is. Now, I am going to give this thing to you. I hope you will not betray my trust."
Hearing this, Gao Shun's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Marquis Wen, are you going to give me the catapult?"
At this point, Gao Shun reacted and waved his hands repeatedly. Without waiting for Lu Bu's reply, he said loudly, "No, how can the general accept such a magical thing? Please take it back, Lord Wen, because the general will never dare to accept it. "
Lu Bu smiled slightly and said slowly, "General Gao, although this thing is important, it still needs someone to use it. That's why I asked you to find some trustworthy people to use this thing."
Gao Shun was shocked and dumbfounded. He only knew in his heart that this thing was too magical and he would never dare to accept it.
"Marquis Wen, no, I really can't accept it. I ask Marquis Wen to take back his order."
Marquis Wen waved his hand and said with a smile, "General Gao, do you want me to personally use the catapult during the project?"
Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, then he realized and understood Lu Bu's intention, and then he raised his hand and said, "Marquis Wen, in this case, the general will not refuse. As long as Wen Hou orders, the general will obey."
Lu Bu nodded, put the catapult ball into Gao Shun's hand, and said slowly, "General Gao, I hope you can live up to my trust."
Gao Shun hurriedly knelt down and said, "Marquis Wen, please rest assured. As long as Marquis Wen orders you, even if you end up going through fire and water, you will never frown. If you disobey, you will be struck by five thunders from heaven."
Lu Bu helped Gao Shun up and said with a smile, "General Gao, you and I are brothers. When I become bigger in the future, I will never treat you badly."
Gao Shun was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over his hand, "Thank you Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Now I will teach you how to use the catapult ball. When you attack the city in the future, it will all depend on you."
Gao Shun raised his hands and said, "Please give me some advice from Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu said with a smile, "Using the catapult ball is actually very simple. As long as you think silently in your heart, the catapult will appear at your designated location. When you want to take it back, use the same method. Take back the catapult, and now, will you try it out?"
Gao Shun looked at the catapult ball in his hand and felt a little moved.
The catapult ball is an almost heaven-defying existence and can be summoned at any time, which has subverted Gao Shun's cognition.
Gao Shun knew very well how precious this little ball was. Now, Lu Bu actually gave such a precious thing to himself, which meant that Lu Bu had completely trusted him.
Although Gao Shun didn't say it all this time, he also knew that the person Lu Bu trusted the most was Wei Xu, but judging from today's events, it seemed that his idea was wrong.
If Lu Bu trusted Wei Xu, he would have given the catapult ball to Wei Xu instead of himself.
Thinking of this, Gao Shun's eyes became wet and hot, "Marquis Wen, thank you for your trust."
Lu Bu patted Gao Shun on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Hurry up and try it. No matter how good it is, if you don't know how to use it, it will be in vain."
Gao Shun nodded, followed Lu Bu's instructions just now, and shouted in a low voice, "Catapult, show up."
As the words fell, Gao Shun felt his hands were empty. The next moment, a huge catapult appeared in front of him.
Gao Shun's eyes widened and he said excitedly, "Marquis Wen, you can really do it. I can do it too."
Lu Bu nodded, "Tell him to take it back and test it a few times. When it's ready, find some people to come over and release the power."
Gao Shun cupped his hands and took back the catapult. After testing it several times and confirming that it was correct, he placed the catapult in the open space and turned around and walked out of the woods.
Along the way, Gao Shun kept thinking about who would use the catapult?
Since Lu Bu trusts himself so much, he must do this well.
Not long after, Gao Shun came back from the woods with ten soldiers.
These ten soldiers are all strong and have excellent physiques. More importantly, these people are not talkative. They are introverts and are trusted by Gao Shun.
Gao Shun came to Lu Bu with ten soldiers, raised his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, we are here, can we experiment?"
Lu Bu nodded, "Let's get started."
Gao Shun led ten soldiers who were stunned and stunned to the front of the catapult. According to the function prompts, he found a big stone and placed it in the catapult.
Although the catapult is large, it is not complicated to operate.
There is a rope under the catapult. As long as you pull it, the lever will bounce up, and the stones in the big spoon will be bounced out and fly towards the designated target.
As for the eight soldiers, there was a huge noose next to them. After the launch was completed, the eight soldiers turned the noose to add power to the catapult.
After everything was ready, Gao Shun quickly came to Lu Bu and asked in a low voice, "Marquis Wen, everything is ready, can we start it?"
Lu Bu looked at the stones in the big spoon with some expectation in his heart, and nodded, "Let's get started."
After hearing Lu Bu's order, Gao Shuncai growled, "Start."
Following the order, the soldier responsible for pulling the rope stretched out his trembling hands, grabbed the rope tightly, and pulled down hard.
The next moment, the huge catapult vibrated suddenly, and the long catapult roared coldly. Just when it reached the top, it suddenly vibrated and stopped.
At this moment, the stone in the big spoon immediately made a dull whistling sound and flew out in the air.
The catapult is so powerful that the stones roll in the air so fast that the flight path is almost invisible.
