Zhu Jun ran away again.

From the beginning of Shi Zhuang's attack, to the failure of Zhu Jun to send two troops to attack from the city gates on both sides, and then to the moment when the city wall in front of him was directly bombarded by a huge stone bullet for more than 100 meters, Zhu Jun fled.

This man's ability to time his escape is truly unparalleled. At this moment, where can he still care about the death order given to him by Zhu Shou that he must be kept for more than fifteen days. Whether Zhu Shou kills him or not is a matter of the future, and now that he doesn't run, he will die soon.

Henghai's 10,000 soldiers in Dongguang disappeared in an instant, killing more than 1,000 people, running away 3 or 4,000, and the rest were all taken prisoner.

Shi Zhuang led his troops into Dongguang City.

Zhu's army ran too fast, and the food and ordnance prepared for 10,000 soldiers in Dongguang City fell completely into Shi Zhuang's water.

"General, Zhu Jun ran away and didn't catch up." Li De turned over and dismounted, looked at Shi Zhuang, and said very regretfully.

"If you run away, you run, it's good if such a guy runs away, maybe when you will meet him again, you should like such an enemy too, right?" Shi Zhuang said with a smile.

"Of course." Li De grinned. Who doesn't like such an enemy? By the way, General Shi, I see that you have posted a notice and a ban at the gate of the city, and the brothers' desire to make a fortune has come to naught! ”

Shi Zhuang snorted: "In the past six months, you and your people have also made a fortune, isn't it enough?" In the future, these places will be under the rule of Gongzi, and they will be Gongzi's people, what's the matter, do you still want to rob them? ”

Li De smiled: "General Shi said that he laughed. What do we do next? ”

"The first step, of course, is to demobilize the prisoners. Everyone was given dozens of pounds of food for them to carry home and live a good life." Shi Zhuang said: "The county lieutenant in the city ran away with Zhu Jun, but the county commander and some of the principals were arrested by me, and now no one is available, so let them continue to be this official!" Help us get things done first. Leave a thousand people to garrison Dongguang, and the rest will go to Nanpi with me! ”

"Today's battle is basically not difficult, or I will set off for Nanpi overnight, and the soldiers will be fast!" LI Dedao.

"You'll go early tomorrow morning." Shi Zhuang rolled his eyes and said. What's the hurry?"

Li De smiled, knowing that his little caution had been seen through by Shi Zhuang, this was to warn himself not to mess around. Anyway, he didn't miss the two money, but he had to warn the brothers when he turned around, since the military order not to disturb the people had been issued, don't hit it against the wind, otherwise it will be really impossible to lose his head when the time comes.

And when Shi Zhuang took Dongguang, the main force led by Li Ze and Cao Xin had also arrived at Botou.

Dozens of soldiers were assembling a large stone thrower that was exactly the same as Shi Zhuang's under the guidance of a carpenter, and as the stone thrower slowly took shape, Gao Xiangsheng's mouth opened wider and wider. In Chang'an, there are naturally many large defensive equipment, such as trebuchets are naturally indispensable. But this was the first time he had seen a stone thrower that fired such a huge stone projectile.

"It's a counterweight stone thrower." Li Ze looked at Gao Xiangsheng with a smile and said: "It is very different from the stone thrower that we usually see that uses rope torsion, not only has a longer range, the projectile is larger, but more importantly, his accuracy is higher. Although I can't say where to fight, it's not far from ten."

Gao Xiangsheng looked at the stone bullet weighing hundreds of catties on the side, and was really a little speechless. The trebuchet over there in Chang'an generally throws more than a dozen catties of stone pills. Compared to the equipped trebuchet in front of me, it really looks like a toy.

What's more, such a terrifying siege tool only needs a dozen people to operate.

In one day, Li Zejun assembled eight of these huge stone throwing machines.

When they appeared under the Botou city wall, He Chong on the opposite side was also stunned.

He Chong's garrison Botou is much more important than the geographical location of Dongguang, He Chong is stationed in Botou with 1,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 government soldiers. In order to be able to hold the berth, He Chong still thought of a lot of ways.

Botou has a moat. On the other side of the moat, He Chong built more than a dozen earthen towers in the space of a few months, which were connected to the main city of Botou by wooden trestle bridges and spanned the moat. On top of the earthen tower, ballistas are installed, and these ballistas can fire both crossbow arrows and small stone projectiles of several catties or so. What's more, these earthen pagodas can be hidden.

If the Yizhou army wants to attack Botou, the first thing to overcome is the attack of these earthen towers. They can use ballista attacks, and a dozen earth towers can also form a team of hundreds to a thousand people to launch a counterattack in a very short period of time.

But when He Chong saw the huge trebuchet, and saw that the side had easily destroyed one of the earthen towers that he had painstakingly built with just one stone cannon, he knew that the plan he had painstakingly prepared to defend the emperor would not work at all.

He immediately ordered, and the soldiers in the more than ten earthen towers immediately assembled and launched an active attack on the Yizhou army, and he also led all his armor soldiers to attack these eight trebuchets at the first time.

If you don't destroy these ghost things, even the city wall of Botou will not be able to withstand the bombardment of the other party, even if the city wall of Botou is covered with stones.

He Chong's reaction made Li Ze and Cao Xin both admire, but they were dismissive of his attack. Because in front of the eight huge stone throwers, there were not only thousands of armor soldiers stationed there, but more importantly, where was the Modao team led by Li Han.

The Modao team has now expanded to three hundred people. This is Li Ze who reluctantly selected more than 200 people on the basis of moving nearly 100,000 Dingkou from Dezhou, and Dingkou in Yizhou also exceeded 200,000, and formed the current force together with the previous 100 Modaomen.

Of course, he still hasn't prepared the same armor for these people as the real Mo Knife Hand, not that he can't come up with the money now, but the Mo Knife Hand's armor is extremely difficult to make, and it is very different from ordinary armor, if a set of armor is made by a skilled blacksmith, it will take at least a year or so. The armor of the Mo Knife Keeper will be reused, and if a Mo Knife Player dies in battle, or retires, their armor, including the Mo Knife, will be recycled.

Of course, although it was difficult, Li Ze still organized dozens of blacksmiths to do this, and these blacksmiths needed to study the construction of this armor before they could start making it, and God knows when they would be able to make the first finished product. For this reason, Gao Xiangsheng said to Li Ze not without temptation that there are still a thousand sets of such Mo swordsman armor hidden in Chang'an's arsenal, but there is no suitable person to use it, and the imperial court cannot afford to raise a large team of Mo swordsmen, which makes them dusty in the treasury.

"If one day Li Gongzi can go to Chang'an to see the emperor and become the emperor's minister, maybe the emperor will reward you with these things." At that time, Gao Xiangsheng looked at Li Ze, who was leisurely and fascinated, and smiled like a thousand-year-old fox.

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish." The greedy color in Li Ze's eyes flashed for a moment, and his eyes became clear again, "Compared to the thousand sets of Mo Dao Hand Arms, I prefer that the emperor lend me the craftsman workshop for use when the time comes."

Chang'an as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, although the imperial power is now declining, but the city is still the largest city in the world at that time, with 38 streets and 110 miles to form that huge city.

Of course I'm going somewhere.

The craftsman workshop mentioned in Li Ze's mouth concentrates the most brilliant craftsmen in the entire Tang Dynasty, and these people still represent the highest craftsmanship in the Tang Dynasty even now, passing from father to son, from son to grandson, endlessly. It's just a pity, I heard that they are having a bad time now, and if these skilled craftsmen fall into their own hands, how much can they do! Those craftsmen in their own Zhuangzi, although they are also very hard-working, but technology, craftsmanship, really not rely on hardships and hard work to grow, and they are a two-knife, sometimes a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, but those craftsmen are confused.

The Mo swordsman of the establishment can even compete with the cavalry rushing formation, not to mention the team led by He Chong now, a thousand armor soldiers are the head, and after three thousand mansions, He Chong can not be said to be without fighting, he took out all his strength to press the bottom of the box. But unfortunately, they bumped into Mo Dao Hand head-on.

When He Chong saw the Mo Dao hand who appeared in front of him with heavy armor and a heavy Mo knife, his eyes were full of despair. It was exactly the same look as Zhu Bin, who saw Mo Dao Hand appear in Li Ze's team for the first time at that time.

Li Han placed a hundred heavily armored Yuan Mo swordsmen around the phalanx, and then placed the novices in ordinary armor in the middle, from the outside, it was really impossible to distinguish the difference between them at a glance, besides, the sword light was like snow, hundreds of Mo knives, but they were really wielding, in such a situation, who could distinguish between them There were still a lot of Xibei goods!

When the armor team was scattered, Min Rou sent out the real Chengde wolf horseman.

At this time, he rode with a wolf of Chengde, and he wielded a cattle killing knife to slaughter a chicken.

Whether it is the Modao team or the Chengde wolf cavalry, they are now the most powerful troops under Li Ze. In the first battle with the Heng Navy, Li Ze, as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, did not hesitate to take out the most powerful troops, the purpose of which was to deter the Heng Navy.

The strength of the Yizhou army will spread throughout the sea with this battle, laying a good foundation for the next decisive battle between the two sides, and when the two sides meet again on the battlefield, the enemy will involuntarily fear this force.

With the death of He Chong in battle, after the earthen towers outside the city were destroyed one by one, although there were still nearly 10,000 defenders in Botou, they were completely discouraged.

They, surrendered.
