Chapter 4 Awkward Communication

Historical records: The Tartars invaded the farthest to Teng County. The main force is in Jinan. Such remote small cities will definitely not send too many soldiers. Today they arrived at two hundred forwards. I guess they were here to explore the way and stare at the people in the city to prevent them from running away. It is estimated that there will be two thousand soldiers behind them. In history, this city was not defended. After all, two thousand Tartars are too pressured by such small counties. Moreover, when they passed by in the afternoon, Li Bin looked at the city walls. There were not many soldiers and were not good at it, nor did he see large equipment such as artillery. There was definitely no hope for relying on meat to make a living! We can only find ways to enhance the long-range projection ability in the city! We must be well manufactured and operated, and the power is great and it can be hit far! This problem can be solved by junior high school physics textbooks: counterweight catapults!

This thing is not of quality, just a carpenter can make it. There is definitely no shortage of wood in the city. It is okay to use half a piece of brick without stones. Make more cover-type attacks. If you rain bricks and rain, don’t mention Tartars, even the iron will be flattened!

Although this kind of catapult has appeared long ago, with the speed of information exchange in the Ming Dynasty and the urinary nature of officials, I might not know about this thing, or I know it, but I can’t make it because I don’t understand the principles. I’ll try it anyway, it’s not worth it anyway!

At that time, I will not only save people, but also gain some benefits for myself. It is perfect!

When he thought of it, he did it. Li Bin found the notepad and pen in his bag and started writing and painting! Of course, it was no difficulty for him to draw this thing. He was worried that the Ming Dynasty would not recognize Arabic numerals, so he deliberately wrote all the numbers in Chinese characters, and then wrote down the precautions one by one. The key point was to the last sentence: My ancestors were survivors of the Southern Song Dynasty, and they went abroad to Nanhuazhou due to the invasion of the Mongol Yuan. Now, because of the order of my father, I returned to my hometown to worship my ancestors! After the ancestor worship was completed, I wanted to be full of them.

Looking at the scenery of my Han area, I unexpectedly encountered a Tartar on the way to Mount Tai to massacre our Han people. I am alone and unable to turn the world back, so I can only save a baby girl while the Tartars are resting in the wind! Now I see that Tartars want to conquer the precious land, so I offer a piece of simple equipment, and do my best! I accidentally lost my money when searching and saving the baby girl at the massacre site. Such a machine can make a small achievement. I hope that the precious land can give me more gifts. When I return to my hometown, I will give you a gift! Thank you!

Just such a short passage made Li Bin blush. One is because he was so worried that he was a science student who imitated such half-literary and half-verbal words. After all, he had never used the things he learned more than ten years ago! The other is because he was shy. He lived to be twenty-five and had not asked for anything from others in this tone! Now he is forced by a girl and can't even care about business!

After finishing all this, I prepared some milk tablets for the little guy and had some urine before I could sleep peacefully!

The little guy stuffed it into his sleeping bag at night, so he directly covered his down jacket and sniffed all night. Of course, he didn't dare to sleep too hard in this ghost place. He woke up on time at five o'clock and prepared the little guy's breakfast. He tied the things in the car and took the hydrated chunks of compressed biscuits. After the work, these little guys opened their eyes! After peeing, they used a hot towel to clean her hands and faces, and then began to feed them spoonfuls! After feeding, he smiled bitterly. He had never been so nervous in the college entrance examination that year!

I was busy until six o'clock and everything was ready. I turned around and ran to Tengxian to the north!

It was still dark at six o'clock in winter. He estimated that the distance was still five kilometers, so he turned off the headlight and started running slowly. While running, he paid attention to where the two hundred Tartars were yesterday! It would not be a pleasant experience if he plunged into the Tartar camp one by one!

When he slowly touched the outline of Teng County, he also found the Tartar camp, right at the foot of the dike facing Teng County!

He had to sigh that the dog Tartars were really brave. You must know that this place is only two miles away from the west gate of Teng County. If there is a night attack in the evening, you will arrive! I guess they also knew that the Ming army did not have the courage to do so. He didn't think much about it and quickly sent the drawings to the city as planned. Whether it is a loss or a small profit or a small profit, it can only be left to fate!

He is about three miles away from the Tartar camp now. There is a gray-yellow field on the right side of the embankment. He is not familiar with it, so he can only believe in his pedestal! Turn right down the embankment, and then walk eastward from the field. The car seems to be quite competitive. There is no pressure to walk in the field. After all, this is dry land, which means that there is more soil and more trash!

After walking almost over the east of Teng County, he turned north and headed towards the east gate. He deliberately exceeded one point so that he could stop two hundred meters away from the east gate. This was the safety line he drew for himself according to the basic data of the Ming Dynasty fire guns! After all, stray bullets could kill people!

The soldiers on duty on the city wall soon discovered him, and there seemed to be a little commotion! But they immediately suppressed a small leader!

When the matter was about to come, Li Bin suddenly realized that he had not thought about the opening remarks. He was not skilled in a single dog chatting with him. Could it be that I have come to give you advice? Moreover, the distance between two hundred meters is a little too far, and it is not necessary to hear it clearly when shouting loudly! The opposite side didn't know what the weird guy who appeared and disappeared yesterday did, so he stared at him and didn't open his mouth!

This is so embarrassing! Li Bin is still struggling here, but he doesn't know that the little leader on the wall has sent a constable to notify the county magistrate!

"Mr. County Magistrate, the weird guy wearing a round hat is here again yesterday!"

"Is it the one who notified us yesterday to close the city gate?"

"Yes, the one wearing a round hat and riding an iron car!"

Hearing this, you will know that the IQ of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not low. At least people know that long legs are called horses, donkeys and mules, and those with wheels are called carts!

"Where is he?"

"On the east gate, a man came over at dawn and rode an iron cart. Captain Wang asked me to inform the master."

"Well, go and see, he can't make waves alone!"

The county magistrate was named Zhao, and he was a Jinshi. He usually had no problem reciting poems and fu. The county government affairs were helped to manage it. Teng County was located in the inland area. The Tartars were making trouble in recent years, but they had never been to Teng County. Li Zicheng's group of people were all struggling around east and west of Shandong and had not come yet. Zhao County magistrate had been having a good time for a few years. Until a few days ago, news came from the north that the Tartars entered the pass, and it was said that it was possible to go south along the canal from Shandong. Zhao County magistrate

He was so panicked that he begged his grandmother to borrow 500 gubernators from the canal transportation yamen and hired 500 boatmen who had nowhere to make a living in the canal. The wealthy families in the county pieced together some money and grain to recruit more than 1,000 strong men. In addition, more than 100 guillotines in the yamen, he also raised nearly 3,000 people! After all, the county magistrate was responsible for defending the territory, so he did not dare to use his own head to bet on Emperor Chongzhen just forgot about him. It is estimated that the only way to do it seriously since he became the county magistrate!

But only God knows how much combat power this temporary mob has! From the chaos yesterday, we can see that there is not even a sentry detective when the war comes. It is not Li Bin's reminder that he might be rushed into the city by the Tartars!

I heard that the Tartars really came yesterday, but I was frightened, but I heard that it was a strange man wearing a round hat and riding an iron cart. I breathed a sigh of relief and curiosity was also very aroused! After all, he, a Jinshi of the Three-Famous, had never heard of anyone riding an iron cart wearing a round hat and riding an iron cart! The spy of the Tartars were not like, and it was completely confused! After warning, I did not go to the city to report military information or indicate my identity, but went straight south!

Today, the magistrate Zhao is ready to explore the strange man's background. After all, it is the Tartars attacking such a fatal thing. Maybe it will be a family that is destroyed. Seeing that the weird man's behavior yesterday did not seem to be malicious. It would be even better if he could take more details of the Tartars from him! Even a nerd knows the saying of knowing one and the other. If he can't find out, it would be better than just a slight look at him!

But Li Bin was still struggling with how to communicate with the other party, and County Magistrate Zhao also came to the city wall.

"Captain Wang, is this person really the weird guy yesterday?"

"Sir, it should be fine! I was patrolling at Ximen yesterday afternoon. At that time, the man was also riding a black iron horse and wearing a white round hat. Even the package on the car was the same."

"Well, has this person expressed his intention?"

"No, I parked the car far away as soon as I arrived. As soon as I arrived, I asked Xiao Zhang to inform the adults. It was only half a stick of incense."

Li Bin also found that he seemed to be the one who came to make the decision. He was wearing an official uniform. He didn't know any officials anyway! He suddenly regretted not going out with a telescope. You should know that it is not very clear to see two hundred meters with a naked eye!

Li Bin felt that this was not a solution. The two sides were too far away and it was difficult to communicate. Don’t expect the other party to take the initiative to come out. After all, he didn’t even know who he was and what purpose he was! The Tartar vanguard had arrived, and later he was delayed by burning, killing, looting on the road. Time is tight now, after all, it takes time to build a catapult. Li Bin decided to take a little risk. He was still a little confident in his anti-spun suit that cost several thousand yuan. He wore a sweater and a winter leather jacket outside. The distance between the muskets may not be able to be worn. Besides, he could try to run on the S shape when he saw someone igniting a musket! There is danger everywhere in this time and space, and it is impossible to have no risk at all!

He decided to do it! He found a white sock from his backpack, then picked up a branch from the ground, and tied the socks to the branches. There was no way, it would be better to be more timid than to be a little bit scared or shot inexplicably! Who knows if there are any indescribable things on their things!

After making the white flag, I moved the little guy from his chest to his back, and then I held the white flag and rode my bike slowly towards the city wall!

150 meters...100 meters...50 meters...30 meters...Li Bin estimated that his arm strength could throw the stone wrapped in his drawings onto the city wall and stop!

Everything went smoothly, at least the other party did not show obvious hostility at the moment! Li Bin also gave a sigh of relief!

"Who are you? Why can't you search under the city wall?"

"I see that Tartars attacking the city and want to offer a sharp weapon to defend the city to the county magistrate. The detailed drawings have been painted on the paper. Can I put them into the city?"

"Why don't you come into the city and present it in person?"

"I have an iron cart to inspect the military situation outside the city and spy on the Tartars for the adults!"

I have to say that Li Bin is a good IQ after all, and he can beautify himself so perfectly that he can't speak!

Seeing that he couldn't speak, he couldn't force him, he had to agree to him wrap the stone with the drawings and throw them onto the city wall! Li Bin didn't say much, and threw the drawings onto the city wall. Without saying anything, he increased the accelerator and turned around and left. When he left, he still had an S shape!

The captain Wang next to him sighed: "What a strong man, so burly, he easily threw a stone into the city ten feet away. It's a pity that he couldn't contribute to defending the city!"

This sounds nothing wrong, but it becomes more vicious if you think about it carefully! The master who just came here looked at Captain Wang without saying much! Instead, the county magistrate had already taken the drawings from the soldier and spread them out and looked at them!

"Combined with heavy stone catapult? I have heard of this thing! Master Ma, do you know this thing? Oh, the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty? Going abroad to worship their ancestors? No wonder they are rude and have a vulgar text! They even asked for rewards directly, and they turned into people from the wild! They were very good at drawing pictures, with clear markings, and it was not difficult to make them according to the pictures, but how powerful is this thing?"

Master Ma next to him also came over to look at the drawings: "This thing is used by the Mongolian and Yuan army during the Xiangyang War in the Southern Song Dynasty. It can throw stones and smash cities, sulphurs, etc.! Oh, there are also notes below that the level of craftsmen is limited, and the operation of sergeants lacks training. It is recommended to shoot large stones or broken bricks with fists. It is not accurate, but dense!"

Master Ma looked at the drawings carefully again: "I use artillery more often than not. No one has studied this kind of stone throwing machine, so there are few people who know about it. There are artillery in big cities and no one can build it in small cities. You can try to make a few first!"

"Well, you are the one who is in charge of this matter. While most of the Tartars have not arrived, hurry up and try out a few pieces to see how powerful it is! The lives of the people in this city are always guaranteed!"
