The sudden sweating plan went quite smoothly. After the fall of the Heavenly Palace, the captured people were driven out of the Heavenly Palace and then they began to identify the craftsmen.

It is not easy to find a carpenter among tens of thousands of prisoners.

It is true that among these prisoners in the Heavenly Palace, there were certainly some skilled craftsmen whom Feng Yuanpo forced to recruit from all over Hexi, but after all, there were still a few. All the carpenters were only more than a thousand people. It would not be easy to find more than a thousand carpenters from tens of thousands of strong men.

But suddenly he was quite cunning and ordered the slaughter of more than a dozen cattle and sheep, and then put the pot on the wilderness and started cooking.

The Yi and Barbarian army came from the north of the desert, so naturally they would not bring livestock. These domestic animals were all obtained by the Yi and Barbarian soldiers plundering Hexi.

The beef and mutton rolled in the boiling water. Although the Yiman people were simple to eat and did not add any seasonings, the meaty smell floated in the air, and even the Yiman soldiers' throats were wriggling.

Most of the prisoners captured from the Heavenly Palace were young and strong. During these days, they hid in the Heavenly Palace. Feng Yuanpo did allow people to store a lot of food in the warehouse in the Heavenly Palace. After all, when Wu Yuan led the crowd, there were many civil and military ministers, eunuchs and palace maids, including thousands of guards, who had food, drink, defecation and sensation every day.

After Yao Chong led his people into the Heavenly Palace, he quickly consumed all the food stored in the Heavenly Palace. In order to support as much as possible, the daily food for tens of thousands of young and strong people was minimal and could only barely support them to survive. Even so, just two days ago, the food in the Heavenly Palace had been completely exhausted, and tens of thousands of people had not eaten up for two days. Moreover, in the past few days, the physical energy consumption was even greater.

After people were captured, they were angry and panicked at first, but they forgot to be hungry. However, the smell of meat emitted from dozens of big pots at this moment made the hungry people even more uncomfortable. Many people stared at the big iron pot. If it weren't for the Yi barbarians pointing at the swords and guns, they would have hoped that they would rush up and eat voraciously.

After a sudden sweating, the carpenter would stand up and get confirmed and get a bowl of meat.

As soon as this order was issued, many people immediately stood up and claimed that they were carpenters.

He was very cunning when he suddenly sweated. He was afraid that some ordinary people would pretend to be carpenters and come out to eat meat. So he first selected some of these people and used tools to make a few simple wooden tools in public. When he confirmed the identities of more than a dozen carpenters, the meat in the iron boiler had been boiled and was just the time to be eaten.

Shi Khan then gave each of the dozen carpenters a bowl of meat, and then used these dozen people as referees. Whenever someone stood up and said that they were carpenters, these referees would ask them about some simple carpenter skills alone. If they couldn't answer, they would be fake and immediately dragged aside to kill them.

At the beginning, many people actually stood up in order to eat a bowl of meat, but were discovered on the spot and immediately dragged aside and chopped their heads.

There was also a carpenter who was kind-hearted and a young man stood up as a fake carpenter. The referee wanted to let go, but he was not lucky. There was a barbarian general standing next to him. Seeing the young man's expression was flustered, he found that there was something wrong with it. He dragged it out and confirmed it repeatedly, but was finally discovered. Together with the carpenter who was the referee, they were split in half.

When five or six hundred carpenters were selected from the vast crowd, more than 300 fake men were killed on the side, and the bodies were piled up together, which was creepy.

There were even some passionate men who saw the Yi barbarians killing people like slaughtering dogs and were filled with righteous indignation, and they wanted to fight to the death. However, as soon as they rushed out and had not yet contacted the Yi barbarians, they were immediately shot and killed by the Yi barbarian archers who were already prepared around. Seeing that the Yi barbarians were cruel, more people could only lower their heads and wait for the judgment of fate.

When they were in the Heavenly Palace, they knew that they would fall into the hands of the barbarians, and that they would be in danger. Under Yao Chong's leadership and command, they united and fought to the death, but at that time they were full of strong fighting spirit.

However, the moment the Heavenly Palace was broken, people's confidence collapsed instantly. Facing the spear and scimitar of the Yi Barbarians, almost everyone's fighting spirit quickly disappeared. Among countless corpses, fear quickly eroded everyone's whole body, even every pore.

Even veterans who have been through the battlefield have been captured by vicious enemies and faced with scimitars that the enemy may cut down at any time, it is impossible to keep calm in their hearts. What's more, there are only a handful of real soldiers who have been captured now, and they are almost ordinary people. Even if they have been trained by Yao Chong for a short time, they are not considered soldiers at all.

The ruthless killing is under one's nose. People know that there is no hope and are waiting for the arrival of death in dejected manner.

After all, Shi Shihan picked out thousands of craftsmen from the prisoners without delaying them. He immediately offered rewards to the craftsmen. As long as someone knew how to make siege weapons, he could eat meat every day and even get wine. In this cold weather, he could get some strong wine every day, but he could resist the bitter cold.

However, most of the craftsmen present were ordinary craftsmen. Fortunately, more than ten of them had served the army and had experience in making siege weapons.

Although they knew that the purpose of the Yi barbarians to build siege weapons was to attack Wuping Prefecture not far ahead, but what can they do if they are under a knife?

They may be the people of the empire, but when they suffer, their so-called empire cannot give them any protection. Even if the empire's emperor is close, he can only look out from the high city tower.

Tu Shihan immediately named the more than ten carpenters as the team leader, and thousands of carpenters divided into more than a dozen teams. According to Tu Shihan's order, each team would have to create ten siege weapons within a maximum of five days.

Siege weapons are naturally diverse, but the two most important ones are naturally catapults and siege cars. Catalogs can be used to destroy city walls, while siege cars can be used to hit city gates.

He suddenly sweated and was full of energy. He felt that the day when the siege weapons were created was the time when the city was broken. He was happy and even agreed that as long as the city was broken, all the craftsmen involved in the manufacturing of weapons could be given freedom.

Thousands of craftsmen were only a very small part of nearly 30,000 prisoners. After the carpenter was arranged, Ibrahimovic immediately came to Tushi Khan, but asked Tushi Khan to order the execution of the remaining prisoners.

"Suddenly, we attacked the Heavenly Palace, and thousands of people were killed and injured. They were all these damn Qin people. Now all the people you need have been selected. The remaining Qin people must be killed to avenge the dead people." Ibrahimovic clenched his fists and looked fierce.

Shi Shi hesitated for a moment before saying, "To create siege weapons, you need to log wood, and you also need to transport the wood. Of course, this requires manpower. Are you planning to let the warriors holding the sword cut down the trees?"

Ibrahimovic immediately said: "Even so, there is no need to use so many people. Leaving two or three thousand people is enough." His voice was slightly lowered, "The food in our hands is only enough for four or five days even if we eat it ourselves. If we still leave these people, should we use our food to feed them?"

Shi Khan suddenly thought for a while before asking, "Where are you going to kill them?"

Ibrahimovic sneered: "It's better to drive them to the city and let the damn emperor of Qin take a look. The Qin people bullied us for many years, and now we should let that emperor see that as long as our warriors raise the scimitar in their hands, they can defeat all enemies who are enemies with us. We must kill his people in front of him and give him the deepest shame."

"Driving to the city and killing them all?" Shi Han smiled strangely and said, "Ibrahimovic, Ben Khan now doubts, have you taken advantage of the Qin people and want more grassland warriors to die here?"

Ibrahimovic was stunned and didn't understand the words of sudden sweating.

Shi Khan suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the towering city, and said coldly: "You know better than Ben Khan. How many people are there in that city? We have killed and injured thousands of people in the group of people without weapons in attacking the Tiangong, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in that city, and they have weapons in their hands. If they fight to the death, how many more do you think we will die?"

"Suddenly sweat, what do you mean?"

"We have been besieging the city for many days and have already broken through the Heavenly Palace. Do you know what they think now?" Shi Khan was extremely burly and stood in front of Ibrahimovic with a stern aura. "Ben Khan told you that they must be very scared now. They are afraid of death. He was afraid that our warriors' sabers would chop their necks. Ben Khan also knew that they would temporarily forget their anger because of fear. If a person is afraid, it is the most terrifying, but the weakest. Do you understand?"

Ibrahimovic obviously had not yet understood the meaning of Chushi Han. Chushi Han looked contemptuous, "If a person is afraid because of fear, he will soon lose the will to fight and become the weakest person. But if a person is angry because of fear, he can become a terrifying warrior. If you ask Ben Khan to allow you to drive these prisoners to the city and kill them in front of them, do you know the consequences? Ben Khan told you that they will be extremely afraid, but they will also be extremely angry. They will understand that if they are defeated, they will only die. If so, they will definitely fight to the death. Even if we win, more warriors will be killed or injured."
