Chapter 229: Cruel
The shrill screams cut off the guarding officer's weak defense. Fu Yu Fengzhang pulled out the sword from the opponent's heart, wiped the blood on the dead body, and sneered: "Those who escape are traitors, and those who release traitors privately are also traitors.
The traitor will only die. Come here, chop off this guy's head, hang it on the city wall with a spear, and let everyone see what happens to the traitor!"
"Yes!" The leader of the guard stepped forward to accept the order. He looked at the other six deserters who were tied up and said: "Then what should we do with these six guys? Should we also behead them in public?"
"These six guys?" Fuyu Fengzhang looked at the six trembling deserters, and a smile appeared on his face: "Since they want to escape from the city, let them leave the city!"
"Ah?" The guard leader thought he heard wrongly.
"First cut off the hands and feet, gouge out the eyes, and then throw them from the top of the city to let everyone see what happens if you become a deserter!"

Tangying.
Liu Pingji was not wearing armor. He was wearing a brown straight jacket and holding a short jujube stick in his right hand. Behind him, flags marking various prominent official positions and names were flying high.
Under these flags, there are people wearing gorgeous armor. Each of them is nobler and more prominent than Liu Pingji. Under the rising sun, the armor on each person is shining. Hold your breath and focus your eyes.
On Liu Pingji.
"Report to join the army, the thunderbolt chariot is ready!"
After carefully completing the inspection of each process, Liu Pingji ran to Wang Wenzuo, knelt down on one knee, and reported in a deep voice.
"Well done!" Wang Wenzuo nodded approvingly to Liu Pingji. Among all the people, his armor was the simplest and simplest - just an ordinary pair of leather armor. He walked up to Liu Renyuan's horse and said in a deep voice: "Everything
Everything is ready!"
"Is it going to be done so soon?" Liu Renyuan smiled easily: "Okay, let me open my eyes today and see how powerful Saburo is!"
"Actually, from my point of view, it doesn't matter whether there is a Thunderbolt Chariot or not!" Sun Renshi looked even more relaxed, as if he had a chance to win: "Last night, there were more than two hundred Baekje people who came from Yuecheng to bid.
I heard they said that Fuyu Fengzhang was cruel and unkind, cutting off the limbs of soldiers who offended him, gouging out their eyes, and pushing them off the city wall. With people's hearts so disintegrated, even if we did nothing, it would take as long as a month or as little as ten years.
Today, if you stay in the city this week, it will be destroyed!"
"You can't say that!" Liu Rengui said with a smile: "This thunder chariot is not only for destroying the city. In addition, it can also show off the martial power of the Tang Dynasty, so that the people of Baekje, Japanese, and Silla can see the military power of the Tang Dynasty.
, so that you don’t dare to have second thoughts, which will be of great help to the annihilation of Goguryeo in the future!"
"That's what Liu Prefect said!" Sun Renshi said with a smile: "I didn't expect this. By the way, this thunderbolt chariot has the same name as the thunderbolt chariot used by Cao Yuan's army in the Battle of Guandu in "Three Kingdoms". This is a thing.
?”
"I don't know about that!" Liu Rengui said with a smile: "Among us, Wang Canjun is the only one who has seen this Thunderbolt Car with his own eyes. If you want to know, just ask Wang Canjun later!"
"Are you talking about Wang Wenzuo and Wang Canjun? Who built this thunderbolt chariot?" Master Sun Ren was surprised and confused.
"Yes, he has always had ingenuity. Not only the Thunderbolt Car, but also the 'Scorpion' was created by him!"
"What? You mean a powerful crossbow that can be fired continuously?" Master Sun Ren was shocked, and his gaze towards Wang Wenzuo became more and more suspicious.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't him!" Liu Rengui's smile remained unchanged.
Boom.
A loud noise interrupted the conversation between the two. Master Sun Ren looked at the strange machine in surprise and saw that as the wood filled with sandbags sank, the long arm at the other end began to rotate, and then connected to the long arm at the end of the long arm.
The rope was pulled up, throwing the stone bullet in the bag at the end into the sky. Finally, the stone bullet left the bag under the action of huge centrifugal force and flew towards Zhouliu City in the distance. When it fell, it crossed the city wall and hit a certain location in the city.
"The stone bullet just now fell in Zhouliu City, am I right?" Master Sun Ren asked, looking like he couldn't believe his eyes.
"That's right!" Liu Rengui was better, but he was still confused: "This place is at least three hundred steps away from the city wall. When the stone bullet hit the ground, it was at least six or seven feet high from the ground. So even if the Thunderbolt Chariot retreated forty or fifty steps, it would be
Can hit the city wall!"
"It's not necessary!" Master Sun Ren shook his head: "It's three hundred steps away, and the thieves in the city don't have an eight-oxen crossbow, so why should we retreat further?"
"That's true!"
"good!"
"Even the Eight Ox Crossbow can't hit anything at this distance!"
At this time, everyone had also recovered from the shock of seeing the power of the Thunderbolt Chariot for the first time. As Master Sun Ren said, in the East Asian world at that time, there were only a few high-tech weapons such as the Eight Ox Crossbow and others that could hit at a distance of 300 steps.
.And even in the Tang Dynasty, the Eight Bull Crossbow was probably only available in the arsenals of the two capitals. How could a small frontier country like Baekje have it? If you are worried, it is unfounded.
"Wang Canjun, how much does the stone bullet fired by this Thunderbolt Chariot weigh?" Du Shuang thought more carefully: "If it only weighs seven or eight kilograms, it can reach far but cannot destroy the city wall, which is a fly in the ointment!"
"Hey!" Sun Renshi smiled and said, "Even seven or eight kilograms is enough. Just fill the clay pot with fish oil. Nine out of ten roofs in the city are made of thatch. You just need to put some in at night.
The whole city is on fire, even if the thieves have three heads and six arms, they can't resist it!"
"good!"
"General Sun, this is a good idea. Anyway, there are stubborn traitors in the city this week. They all deserve to be burned to death!"
Listening to everyone excitedly discussing how to use oil bombs to burn Zhouliu City, Wang Wenzuo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead. Considering how expensive tiles were at that time, even in Chang'an City, there were still many houses with thatched roofs, let alone thatched roofs.
Zhouliu City was attacked by fire this week. If Sun Renshi's method was used to attack Zhouliu City, not even one out of ten people in Zhouliu City would survive, and all the loot would be burned. He hurriedly interjected: "Reporting to Du Changshi, this Thunderbolt Chariot can fire up to 170 rounds."
Ten kilograms of stone bullets are enough to destroy the walls and watchtowers of Zhouliu City, and the city can be breached without the use of oil bombs!"
"One hundred and seventy pounds of stone bullets?" Master Sun Ren took a breath: "Seriously? Wang joins the army. There is no joke in the army!"
"If General Sun doesn't believe it, you can take a closer look. The stone bullet that was just shot was a ninety-pound stone bullet! But if you want it to be heavier, you need to adjust the counterweight!"
"It doesn't matter, ninety kilograms is enough!" Master Sun Ren walked to the trebuchet enthusiastically. He even bent down and tried to pick up a polished stone bullet, but he put it down as soon as it lifted off the ground: "It's so heavy.
,Okay, okay, I’ll use this this time!”
