Zhang Yumeng didn't think so much, and fell asleep as soon as his head tilted.

After drinking until now, Yang Qian's head was already like paste.

Five people drank dozens of kilograms of liquor. If they couldn't drink it, everyone would have to continue drinking.

Yang Gan had no choice but to hold up his body and carry Zhang Yumeng, Cao Wushuang, and Belika to the bed one by one.

When looking at Krisna, Yang Gan touched his head helplessly.

This was too long, and he didn’t know how long she was. He picked her up and weighed her hard. Yang Gan felt that if he had not miscalculated, she was heavier than before.

More than two hundred pounds, tsk tsk tsk, the devil knows how it grew.

Throwing Krisna onto the bed, who knew that Krisna's hand hooked Yang Gan's neck, and instantly Yang Gan threw himself on the ball, his head buried deep in the two balls, almost suffocating him to death.

"Ah? Krisna, let go, you, what do you want to do?"

Krisna didn't say anything, her eyes were blurred, and she pressed Yang Gan firmly against her body.

Not long after, a faint sound sounded, and Yang Gan's cry for help was quickly drowned out.

When Yang Qian fell asleep, thousands of miles away, several people in gorgeous clothes showed playful smiles under the swaying of candlesticks.

There are several people kneeling below. Judging from their clothes, they look like people from poor families in Goguryeo.

The next day, Yang Qian rarely slept in. He had a dream yesterday. He was pressed by a bear and couldn't move. The bear was strange. It kept licking him, but he couldn't resist anyway.

Holding his dizzy head, Yang Gan sat up and shook his swollen head. He felt that the match between his soul and body was only 50%.

After all, it is grain wine, and there is no splitting headache feeling.

Pushing one thigh aside, Yang Gan shook his body, feeling uncomfortable all over his body.

Perhaps because he was woken up, Zhang Yumeng scratched his chicken coop-like hair and muttered.

"Why are you getting up so early in such a cold weather? Are you going to start attacking the city again?"

I took a glass of warm water and drank it in one gulp.

"It has to be finished today and tomorrow. If we delay it any longer, spring will begin. After the spring begins, if we don't finish everything in Goguryeo, there will be big trouble."

Although his head is not clear now, Yang Qian's thinking is still as clear and clear as before.

"Hey, Yang Qian, on your neck..."

Yang Gan was stunned, and immediately took out his cell phone and took a photo of his neck.

When he saw the strawberries all over his neck, he was so angry that he almost threw his phone away.

"How can it be?"

Zhang Yumeng immediately became energetic, moved a few times to his side, and examined him carefully.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's all purple, why don't you use so much force? Judging from the shape, it's probably her~~~!"

Zhang Yumeng stretched out her slender jade fingers and pointed towards Krisna.

The corners of Yang Gan's mouth twitched involuntarily, "Fuck, what can I do? I didn't even know how I got into bed yesterday, okay?"

Zhang Yumeng stuck out her sexy tongue, flicked it to her lips, and joked, "When will you be able to do it? You can't take advantage of others casually."

Yang Gan waved his hand and said, "You're worried too much, it's still early."

He put on some clothes and went outside to check. Suddenly, a round of sunshine warmed Yang Qian's whole body.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Jing Huai said with a smile.

Yang Qian raised his eyebrows, "You are smiling so happily, did you find money?"

"Hehe, no, I was assigned a leasehold share of one hundred acres of land yesterday."

Yang Gan smiled and nodded, "Work hard and there will be more in the future. Wait for me for half an hour and try to capture Heshenggu City today. We have almost collected the information."

Jing Huai became faintly excited.

"Your Majesty, can you go home after the fight?"

Yang Gan raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "It seems that the rental share is too much for you? Humph."

Yang Qian flicked his sleeves and turned back to the tent, leaving Jing Huai alone in the wind.

Under Zhang Yumeng's service, he changed his clothes, put on his armor, and even specially picked up a sable scarf. The strawberries on that neck were shocked by his subordinates.

"Everyone, put on incendiary bombs. Whether it's inside the city or the city wall, keep hitting them. Throw all the black incendiary bombs at me."

"promise!"

Following the messenger's message, more than a hundred catapults slammed incendiary bombs on the city wall.

In just a few breaths, some human-shaped fireballs jumped or fell off the city wall.

The wailing sound echoed throughout the countryside, and the burning pain all over the body had exceeded the limits of the human body and was simply not something that ordinary people could bear.

Many Goguryeo soldiers were burned all over. After jumping down, they were still alive. They were twisting their bodies on the ground, and their hands seemed to be digging holes in the ground.

"Ah~~~Kill me, kill me!"

"It hurts me so much, damn it~~~!"

"Ahhhhh~~~~!"

Yang Qian had long been accustomed to dead people, and he had seen many bloody scenes.

A wall of fire rose up on the city wall that was nearly a kilometer wide, and even the stones were burned and cracked. More incendiary bombs hit the front of the city wall hard, but not the top.

After calling Ouyang Moyan over, Yang Qian frowned.

"Look, the catapult is still not flexible enough. Is there any way to improve it?"

Ouyang Moyan took the telescope and looked at it, making crazy calculations in his heart, and said after a long time.

"If you want to transport it over long distances, you need to enlarge the wheels, but there is a disadvantage after enlarging the wheels. The catapult is too high and it is not easy to add ammunition."

"It's easy to adjust the direction of the catapult left and right. You only need to assemble the lower base and the upper structure separately. For example, if you fix the pin, you can aim at one place, and if you remove the pin, it can rotate in all directions. This is not difficult." ap.

Yang Gan said, "See if each catapult can be equipped with several sets of wheels. There are big wheels for traveling and small wheels for war."

Ouyang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wonderful, wonderful, Your Majesty, your idea is really wonderful."

"These wheels only need to be hung on the catapult and take up almost no space."

After hesitating for a moment, Ouyang Moyan still said, "Your Majesty, in fact, catapults usually use local materials and rarely transport them to other places. This will cause fatigue and affect the marching speed."

Yang Gan nodded, "You should do some research first. What if there is no wood near the city we attack in the future? So we need to take precautions."

"promise!"

Ouyang Moyan immediately took out his notebook and started writing and drawing.

Yang Qian was a little surprised. After all, he first started the habit of using small notebooks to memorize things. Later, some generals and officials felt that there were more tasks assigned and began to use small notebooks to memorize things.

Gradually, this habit began to spread in the Yuntong system. Many officials and generals like to hold notebooks. After all, a good memory is not as good as a bad writing.

After Ouyang Moyan returned, he began to take out the things he had just memorized, but he did not study them in a hurry.

He picked up the wine bottle on the stove next to him and poured himself a glass of wine to warm himself up.

Although he has been making wood and researching siege weapons and equipment all year round, he is physically incomparable to those who lead troops. Lord Wu An can stand in the cold wind and snow for two or three hours, and then command the battle, which he cannot bear.

After a while, Ouyang Moyan felt warm and began to pick up charcoal and began to modify the structure of the catapult.

It has to be said that he enjoys his current life very much. In his hometown, people of his age have already started families and started businesses.

His family was relatively poor. His father was bedridden all year round, while his mother worked in the fields with her brothers and sisters.

Because the family is poor, until now the eldest brother

Not yet married, but with the management of Lord Wu An, the family fields already have cattle and semi-automatic harvesters. If it is some seed crops, there is also a semi-automatic seeder that can be used, and the efficiency is amazing.

He clenched his fists. In just one or two years, life would definitely get better and better. It was also for this reason that when he still didn't know where to go or what to do, he decided to join Wu'an. Jun's team, he believes that Jun Wu An is a righteous teacher and will never do those things that make people angry.

Facts have proved that he was right. Goguryeo was ambitious and Yuntong County intended to open up border trade between the two countries, but the other party blatantly killed Xia merchants.

Although merchants have little social status, Wu Anjun is right. Even the lowest slaves can be killed by their own people, but not by foreigners.

I still vividly remember what it was like when I just set out.

Seeing the sea for the first time.

It was the first time I saw a crowded port.

It was the first time I saw a warship as huge as a city.

It was the first time to ride on a huge warship and ride the wind and waves on the sea.

........

Too many firsts, too many shocks, and the overwhelming grandeur broadened his horizons.

He had already planned that as long as Lord Wu An didn't dislike him, he would dedicate his whole life to the research and development of siege weapons in order to repay Lord Wu An for his kindness.

Of course, not to mention those vain things, just the money he made this time, Ouyang Moyan said that if he didn't have a carriage, he might not even be able to get the money back.

When I go back this time, the eldest brother and the younger brother will have their betrothal gifts, and the dowries of my sister and Adi will also be given. If I can find a good doctor to treat my father, my life will be prosperous.

Thinking of this, he started writing a little faster, and many of his previous thoughts came out like a spring, passing through the tip of the pen and onto the paper.

Yang Gan stood on the chariot. He said he was talking about a chariot, but in fact it was a conventional chariot. It was newly built and relatively simple. Its function was to watch and supervise the army. After all, it is not used now. It is not necessary to use a chariot for attack. City wall, that's not brave, that's Biao.

People were coming and going outside Heshenggu City. Tens of thousands of soldiers carried sacks, wooden boxes, wooden baskets and the like, dumping soil and stones into the moat.

In front of Yang Gan's eyes was the blazing fire. The top of the city and the three hundred meters inward were all within the attack range of the catapult. He checked that the time was almost up and ordered.
