"Uncle Wu, please raise your hand for me." Lan
As soon as Wu Guang piled up the stones in front of him, he heard the call of the melon farmer next to him.
He responded, walked over and helped the other party carry the basket full of iron pear, and put it on the city wall where the inkman had designated for specifically placing iron pear.
"Oh mother, I've been doing this all day and I'm so exhausted."
Gua let out a cry of exhaustion and was about to sit down to rest, but as soon as his butt hit the ground, he screamed like a slaughtering pig and jumped up.
"It hurts! It's fair to die from pain!"
"It hit my back door!"
Wu Guang saw an iron pear stuck on Gua's butt that had fallen to the ground at some point, and quickly reached out to help Gua dig it out. Lan
The miserable cry attracted the attention of many Chu people busy on the city wall.
"Why are you shouting? Why don't you get to work quickly!"
The Chu soldiers who were in charge of guarding came over and scolded: "If you don't protect the city well, when those Qin people come over, all your heads will be chopped off!"
Wu Guang and Gua quickly begged for mercy and confessed.
The two of them joined in the busy work of arranging the city defense. According to the instructions of Mo Zhe and Chu soldiers, they moved various city defense materials and placed them in the corresponding locations.
After a lot of work, they finally had some time to rest while eating, and chatted against the city wall.
"Uncle Wu, do you think what we have done is really useful? I heard that the Qin army that went south this time had hundreds of thousands. How much are these hundreds of thousands? Are there as many as the Chu army in Yangxia? ?"Lan
Gua blinked. As a poor person, he didn't know what hundreds of thousands were. For him, as long as the number exceeded fingers and toes, he couldn't figure it out.
Wu Guang silently stuffed a handful of dry rice into his mouth, making a clicking sound as his teeth rubbed against each other.
Although he is called "Uncle Wu", he has just grown up, and his chin is still bare with few beards.
The reason why he is called "Uncle" is just his nickname of Wu Guang.
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 his literacy and literature studies, and his life was not bad.
However, with the war between Qin and Chu, Yangxia was affected, and military disasters occurred one after another, causing the Wu family to decline.
Now that the Qin army is attacking, Yangxia defender Feng Houyi recruits the Chu people in the city to assist in defending the city, and Wu Guang is also among them. Lan
He raised his head and glanced at the things piled on the city wall.
According to the instructions of those inkmen, a basket of iron pears should be placed every few steps on the city wall, and stones should be piled every two steps.
A pile of stones should cost at least one hundred pieces. Use the following to throw them to hit the enemy.
Every two steps should be placed with a coupler, a long axe, and a long vertebra. A wooden crossbow should be placed within a few steps, and its range should be guaranteed to be more than fifty steps.
[Currently used, this is the most comprehensive and best-used book-listening sound system. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines with over 100 kinds of sounds, and also supports offline reading.
Under the city wall, five hundred hook-claw sword blades were placed every five steps. The tips were sharpened and tied firmly. They were covered with thatch. As long as Qin soldiers attacking the city stepped on them, the feeling would be even more painful. .
Compared with these defense 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 also the common people in Guizhou Province had to go to the city to defend it.
For every fifty steps of the city wall, ten men, twenty adult women, ten young and old, plus sixty soldiers, totaled hundreds of people. Lan
Such a defensive method is so tight that it can be called a copper wall and an iron wall. Wu Guang couldn't help but be amazed when he saw it.
However, Wu Guang couldn't help but shudder when he thought about the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops heading south.
Unlike Gua, who was ignorant and illiterate, Wu Guang, an educated man, knew exactly what an army of hundreds of thousands meant.
He took a sneak peek and saw the old man with thick fur and his disciples who were accompanying Chu General Feng Houyi to inspect the defense situation in the distance.
Those were the Southern Mo who came to help the Chu army defend the city.
What came to Wu Guang's mind was that when his family was still in decline, he was driving with his father and saw a praying mantis with its arms raised on the road ahead, trying to ward off the rolling wheels.
"The mantis' arm is used as a chariot, and it will be crushed into dust." Lan
…
"Mr. Deng Ling, the Mohist defense skills are really exquisite. With the help of you Mohists, I will definitely be able to keep the Qin army at bay."
Feng Houyi was very happy. As expected, professional matters should be left to professionals.
If he were to defend the city by himself, he would at most prepare some huge rocks and trees to defend the city. How could the Mo family be so professional and arrange everything for you? Just look at the rows of shining sharp hooks under the city. Let him have peace of mind.
But Deng Lingzi, the Chu Mo leader who entered the city this time, had a heavy look on his face, shook his head and said: "I heard that the Qin army has the secret technique of the giant cannon left by the former Gongshuzi, and can create an instrument that can shoot hundreds of kilograms of boulders. With this giant cannon, The small town of Yangxia may be hard to stop."
"Master, why do you need to increase the morale of the Qin people? In my opinion, the Qin people are just bragging about the secret technique of Gongshuzi. If there is such a technique, why was it that last year the Qin army could not even capture a single Xiangcheng, but came back with a huge defeat? Haha .”
Beside Deng Lingzi, a young Mohist named Bai Di laughed. Lan
When Qin and Chu were fighting last year, they happened to go to Qi State. They were invited by Qi Mo there, but they did not participate in the battle between Qin and Chu, nor did they see the Qin people's secret skills of giant cannons.
According to Bai Di's thinking, even his Mohist family couldn't build something that could launch a hundred kilograms of boulders. How could Gongshu Pan, who had been dead for two hundred years, have such a machine skill left behind.
And even if you stay, so what? ….
Bai Di proudly said: "Our methods of defending the city are all based on the Mo Jing left by Zi Mozi. It is the best city defense technique in the world."
"In the past, Gongshu Pan and Zimozi attacked. Zimozi built a city and used ultimatums as weapons. Gongshu Banjiu set up a plan to attack the city, and Zimozi was nine miles away. Gongshu Panjiu's attack weapons were exhausted, and Zimozi Zi Zhi is more than capable of guarding the enclosure. From this perspective, our Mohist method should be the nemesis of the Gongshu lineage, and any big cannon is nothing more than a boast of the Qin people."
Feng Houyi on the side nodded in agreement, but had other ideas in mind.
As a general of the Chu army, he knew the power of the Qin army's cannons. The reason why he did not capture Xiangcheng last year was because Xiangnai was a large city with thick walls. It was far beyond what Yangxia could match, let alone the inner garrison. Xiang Qu's tens of thousands of troops were able to hold on. Lan
Even so, the city wall of Xiangcheng was almost destroyed by the giant cannon. If there had not been the rebellion of Gongzi Qi, I am afraid that Mengwu would have captured Xiangcheng in a few days.
So Feng Houyi knew very well from the beginning that even with the help of Mo Zhe, he would never be able to defend the city.
What he was thinking in his mind was just to survive a few days with the help of these Mo men's defense skills, and then abandon the city and escape. When he arrived at Chen Ying, it can be said that he fought hard and retreated when Hou Yi encountered him. With this excuse, he wanted to come He will not be subject to military law."
After hearing his disciple's words, Deng Lingzi shook his head. He did not think that the words of giant cannons were false. What's more, even if the Qin army's vanguard couldn't break through their defenses with giant cannons, what about the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops further behind?
Their trip was meant to be lifeless
There is no way to go.
But Deng Lingzi still came with his disciples, the last ink master of Southern Ink, and came without hesitation.
Just because they put absolute "righteousness" and "faith" first in their hearts. For the sake of their ideals, they will never retreat even if they go up mountains of swords and seas of fire. Lan
They are the last group to inherit the concept of "love all, not attack".
He is also the "last descendant" of Zimozi.
They travel among the countries to prevent big countries from bullying small countries, go to and from the markets, and help the weak against the strong.
They will always stand beside the weak and help them!
Now that Qin is attacking Chu and using the strong to bully the weak, they naturally have to step forward and stop it for the sake of "righteousness" in their hearts.
Die without regrets.
This is their own morality that they abide by! Lan
At this moment, bursts of exclamations suddenly sounded from the city wall, and countless Chu people screamed.
Deng Lingzi raised his eyes and looked.
Bai Di looked up.
Even Wu Guang, who was resting against the city wall, quickly stood up, lay down on the wall stacks, and looked out. When he saw clearly, his body suddenly became tense and stiff.
He saw.
On the distant ground, black flags fluttered in the wind, one after another. Qin soldiers wearing black armor under the flags lined up in a neat array, walking in unison with the sound of drums, and the darkness was like a black line. The long snake is winding its way from the north.
The long snake's mouth and body also had countless fangs and spikes composed of spears, swords and halberds, which were dazzling and terrifying. Lan
On both sides, there were countless mighty chariots and cavalry galloping.
The sound of rolling wheels and the sound of horse hooves is like the roar of thunder, shocking the ears and eyes.
Qin Jun is here! .
Dongjun taking off
