After a rough exploration of the land needed for the completion of the workshop in the southern county, Ouyang Mo turned around and brought these high-spirited young men under his command to Ba County City to help, although the journey was tiring, but these guys couldn't see a tired look, and rolled up their sleeves even more excited than the generals who were about to lead the team to attack the city.

This kind of attacking equipment, which is larger than the bed crossbow and trebuchet equipped on the warship, is obviously not something that ordinary people can usually see, and even for the workshop planned in the southern county, there may not be a way to produce this kind of big thing for two or three years, so the opportunity to participate in the assembly of this equipment is also a rare opportunity for these craftsmen.

In Ouyang Mo's methodical order, a bed crossbow and trebuchet were erected, plus the sailor warships lined up on the river, this time Li Xinchen prepared a big gift for Zhang He.

"Zhang Gong!" Ouyang Mo couldn't wipe his sweat and shouted loudly.

Five bulls and five strong men exert force at the same time, pulling or pulling, and the winch makes a "crunching" sound, pulling the bowstring apart little by little.

This kind of bed crossbow is the largest bed crossbow that can be used in this era, because there is no way to pull it apart by relying on people alone, and it needs the help of a bullock and a winch, so it is also called a "winch crossbow" or "five-ox crossbow", and the range of the arrow with a thin arm can reach 1,000 steps, compared with the 500-step bed crossbow on the warship, the range is longer and the power is greater.

And the trebuchet on one side also began to load, and the huge stone was put up, and the whole trebuchet shook slightly.

Ouyang Mo didn't know if it was a bit of a fuss to deal with a city guarded by only five hundred people with such a powerful weapon, he only knew that this was the opportunity for Li Xinchen to give him to perform, and he wanted to use the power of these instruments to prove that he was worthy of Li Xinchen's trust and trust.

"Sir, you're all ready." A craftsman walked over quickly, looking at the position they had built and commanded in front of him, his face full of excitement.

Ouyang Mo took a deep breath: "Please ask the general, prepare to release!" ”

Looking at the craftsmen who responded to the promise not far away, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Zhiwu's mouth. These craftsmen, who had never even been on the battlefield, were the first to start their battles, and then ······ Lu Zhiwu's gaze swept over the captains and battle masters who were quietly waiting for orders around him, and then it was up to him.

Li Xinchen's command of 5,000 soldiers and horses, including the sailors, surrounded the entire city, except for the south side of Ba County, which was handed over to the sailors because it was close to the river, and the other three directions, even the west of the city, had troops ready to attack.

Divide it into parts, attack it for five, and surround it for ten. Li Xinchen used 5,000 men to surround a city with only 500 men, and the effect of encircling it on all sides was obviously better than the traditional siege of the city. Of course, even if it was surrounded by regiments, the Southern Chen army in the west and north of the city was mainly for guard, after all, the Northern Zhou reinforcements from Luzhou and Hezhou could join the battlefield at any time.

Therefore, the army on the east side is actually responsible for the attack, and this army is commanded by Xiao Shilian and Lu Zhiwu, Xiao Shilian is a general of Fenwei, even if he is willing in his heart, Li Xinchen will not let him stand on the front line, so the task of leading the crowd to take the lead naturally falls on Lu Zhiwu's shoulders.

The First Battle of Shu was Nan Chen's expansion of territory, or the recovery of the lost territory in the traditional sense of the Southern Dynasty, of course, this is only from a moral height, and then narrowly, it is the East Palace or Li Xinchen in order to establish a base away from the center of Jiankang Mansion.

And there is no doubt that the performance in the process of entering Shu will affect the future of all the generals involved in this matter, Chen Zhishen has already had a very outstanding performance before, and even Dai Cai, who is a general, has used his understanding of Bashu to make a lot of contributions, and now it is finally Lu Zhiwu's turn.

Li Xinchen did not hand over the task of attacking the city to Cao Zhong, but just asked him to lead the army to the north to guard, but handed over this task to himself, for Lu Zhiwu, this is undoubtedly an opportunity and a test, and now he wants to take down this Ba County as a proof of his strength!

The drum sound of "Dong Dong" suddenly sounded, and arcs appeared in the sky, and immediately stone bullets and arrows rained down into Ba County City. Looking at the few afterimages left in the sky, Lu Zhiwu's expression froze, he didn't know what would happen if such a stormy attack fell on his head, at this time he could only be glad that his enemy was not Li Xinchen.

At least this will not be inexplicably strangled before the final battle between the two sides.

"Siege!" didn't have time to think about anything else, Lu Zhiwu pulled out his knife and roared.

"Rush!" A general named Nan Chen ran desperately forward with his subordinates, converging into a black tide surging towards the city.

————————————-

Li Xinchen did not pay attention to Ba County's fortification, since he had clearly agreed to take Ba County as Xiao Shilian's credit, then Li Xinchen simply did not interfere in the command. Attacking a city guarded by 500 people with 5,000 men, as long as you are not incompetent, then you will definitely be able to take it quickly, after all, Bajun is not a very strong Xiongguan no matter what.

There were murderous sounds outside, and Li Xinchen sat in the cabin, squinting slightly at the map hanging on the wall.

"General." The hatch opened, and Dai walked in briskly with a few young men. One of them, Li Xinchen, has seen it, and it is Tang Zhengliang's son Tang Qi. And the rest are all fresh faces.

Without waiting for Li Xinchen to speak, those people took the lead in saluting:

"Rongshan (now Dianjiang) Dong Mingzhi see general."

"Linjiang Qin drama see the general."

"Bajun Tangqi see the general."

············

After these people finished reporting their names, Li Xinchen stood up unhurriedly and said with a smile: "You are polite, this place is narrow, let's go out to Feilu and talk while watching the battle situation, what do you think?" ”

"Dare to disobey!" Of course, they did not have and did not dare to have an opinion on Li Xinchen's proposal.

Li Xinchen nodded, these people present were not people without identity. The Linjiang Qin family is rumored to be a family that existed during the Warring States Period, and the Mianzhu Qin family also has a close blood relationship, and the Rongshan Dong family is the famous minister of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, after Dong He, although the reputation is not obvious in these years, but it is also the existence of the head snake in Linjiang County.

As for the rest of the young people, they were all from the families of the surrounding counties, and the purpose of their visit was obviously very simple. Now the owner has changed, but the family has to continue to survive, so some are here to show goodwill, and some are to tempt.

Li Xinchen's gaze swept over these young people, these people all held their heads high, and they did not have the weak appearance of the Jiangnan Shi clan, compared to the family gentlemen in Li Xinchen's impression, it made people feel refreshed.

The people of Bashu are fierce, these families are located in Bashu, and if they want to get to where they are today, it is obviously impossible to rely on scriptures and poetry alone.
