Baoyue Tower.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm the farthest!"
"The reward is mine!"
Li Daniu's eldest son ran to Zhang Bao excitedly and showed Zhang Bao the catapult model in his hand.
A look of pride.
"Not bad!"
"I'll give you this piece of meat!"
Zhang Bao smiled and handed over a piece of bacon and took the catapult model of Li Daniu's eldest son.
during this time.
Zhang Bao and Li Daniu have been studying how to make a catapult.
Lao He is the only person who has seen a real catapult, but it is also the most primitive kind.
Li Daniu was a carpenter by trade. The two of them first made some catapult models based on a picture Lao He drew underground and combined with Zhang Bao's improvement ideas, and then asked the children to think of ways to throw the stones farther.
I have to say that these dolls have quite a lot of ideas.
Modifying it yourself has really upgraded these catapults a lot.
"Master, is this reliable?"
"A bunch of dolls built something that just wants to fight?"
"Besides, if you throw a stone out, you can hit someone?"
Li Daniu had never seen the power of this catapult and was very doubtful about it.
"Who said we can only put rocks?"
"Can I set off the gunpowder packet?"
"Can I put some gravel in there?"
"Can I put some fire oil on it?"
"There are so many ways here, Brother Li, just take a look!"
Zhang Bao said to Li Daniu with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll do it this way!"
"Master, don't forget that I recently changed my career to a cook, but my skills as a carpenter have not fallen behind at all."
Although Li Daniu didn't quite understand, he still patted his chest and said.
"This kind of thing is relatively big. I have already said hello to Wu Dayong. You can go to the military camp to make it. If you need people, wood, or anything else, just tell Wu Dayong and Lao Huang directly!"
"By the way, how are the production of the last batch of crossbows going?"
Zhang Bao asked Li Daniu again.
"I just went to see it a few days ago. They have already done a lot according to the drawings I gave them before."
"On the bow and arrow side, the previous place has been reused, and now such a large warehouse is full."
Li Daniu said with a smile.
during this time.
Zhang Bao asked Li Daniu to return to his old business and upgrade all the bows and arrows in the entire county military camp. The range and power were greatly improved.
Moreover, after Wu Dayong's life-threatening training, each soldier's strength has changed greatly, and many hard bows have become familiar.
In terms of current city defense, it can almost be said that the preparations are sufficient.
But Zhang Bao did not intend to rely on the city wall for direct defense.
Instead, I want to place the battlefield within the entire Sanhe County.
Some time ago.
Zhang Bao arranged for Zhang Hansheng to draw the topographic map of the entire Sanhe County.
Sanhe County is bounded by three rivers, forming a natural wall.
Since the beginning of spring, the river has surged.
These three rivers are the main water source rivers in the area. Regardless of the depth or width of the rivers, it is naturally not that simple to pass through.
All pathways are concentrated among some stone bridges and mountains.
As long as the stone bridge is secured, the passage of large troops is basically foolproof.
According to Zhang Bao's idea, even if the matter is exposed by then, there are still many things that can be done in Sanhe County, a place with a radius of hundreds of miles.
"Uncle Zhang, can you let me do something with you?"
At this moment.
Erile came to Zhang Bao and said.
Since coming back last time, Erile has been taking some time off.
Hu Dugu is back at home, and there are really not many places where he can be used.
When Hu Dugu was not here before.
Erile feels that he has grown up a lot. He helps with everything he can in Baoyue Tower, both inside and outside.
Especially at night.
Erile also took the initiative to take on the responsibility of guard.
But after Hu Dugu came back.
Erile feels that there are fewer and fewer places where she can do things.
In addition to practicing martial arts all day long, fortunately, Zhang Bao was in the Baoyue Tower recently, and Erile and Zhang Bao were getting closer.
"oh?"
"What do you want to do?"
Zhang Bao asked curiously.
The Erile in front of him has grown a lot in height, even if he is a little thinner, but now he looks like a man compared to when he first saw him.
"Anything goes!"
"Uncle Zhang, you can't go out now, but there is a lot of news that needs to be told, so I can send you a message first!"
"When I can go out in the future, I will follow Uncle Zhang to fight!"
Erile seemed to have thought about it a long time ago.
"It seems you have made up your mind."
"But what will you do if I don't agree?"
Zhang Bao asked with a smile.
"Then...if Uncle Zhang doesn't agree, then..."
"I'll wait for the opportunity later."
There was disappointment on Erile's face.
"Erile, do you know what is a very important condition for judging whether a person has grown up?"
Zhang Bao asked slowly.
"Well... are you capable of fighting alone?"
Erile thought for a while and said.
"No!"
"When does a person have his own ideas, his own understanding and persistence of a thing, then he has the capital to be independent."
"As long as it is something you believe in, you must stick to it!"
"No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, no matter what kind of doubts you receive, you must trust your own judgment!"
"Even if you are wrong, it is your choice!"
"Never do what other people think."
Zhang Bao looked at Erile and said.
Erile lowered his head and thought about Zhang Bao's words.
For a moment, I didn’t know how to answer.
"Okay, I just have something to do. Go and help me with it."
Zhang Bao smiled and patted Erile on the shoulder and gave some instructions in his ear.
Erile ran out immediately, but within a few steps, he seemed to realize the frivolity of his footsteps and movements, stopped quickly, and walked out pretending to be calm.
Zhang Bao looked from behind, shook his head and smiled.
turn out to be.
When we first joined the army, the old squad leader saw our mentality as this...
…
Heyang County, on the official road outside the Yunzhong County House.
A group of people is marching slowly.
"Sir, Yunzhong County is ahead."
"Should we send someone directly in to control it?"
A soldier on horseback turned around and asked.
"Let's take a look first. Don't worry. It's best if you don't take action. Otherwise, other counties will follow suit and waste some time."
"But we have to make some preparations and proceed as planned."
The leader whipped the horse on the butt, and everyone headed towards the Yunzhong County House.
This person is none other than Chu La, the newly appointed governor of Heyang County.
