Chapter 507: Before the War (I)

When Xue Rengui, Bai Wenmo and others rushed to the trebuchet production site, what they saw was a busy scene in full swing, countless herdsmen driven by horse thieves cut down trees, braided ropes, and people shouted that horses were neighing.

"What are these herdsmen going to do?" Bai Wenmo was still a little unaccustomed to his status as a military advisor, and he always maintained a very polite attitude when talking to Xue Rengui.

"We don't have to deal with it, as soon as the battle starts, these people will immediately run away thousands of miles, and they can't find it even if they want to." Xue Rengui looked at the busy construction site and said casually.

This is the Western Regions, not the Tang Dynasty, and the life or death of the herdsmen doesn't matter to Xue Rengui at all, saying that they will travel thousands of miles is completely perfunctory.

The 'fangs' who penetrated deep into the Western Regions lacked logistics and had no reliable base base, so they would not accept prisoners, so after this war with the Western Turks, it was likely that a large number of routs would be scattered throughout the Western Regions.

And the defeated army without a subordinate will eventually become a new group of horse thieves in the desert, horse thieves with no family and no home.

Helpless and careless, horse thieves will spare those ordinary herdsmen? Will they watch their cattle and sheep not rob? Let them travel thousands of miles? The horse thief himself would not believe this.

But now is not the time to worry about this, Bai Wenmo, who has just arrived in the Western Regions, is still a little angry, and he will not have a better result except for causing trouble for himself, so there is nothing wrong with Lao Xue's perfunctory attitude in his own position.

Bai Wenmo was also very smart and didn't ask much, just nodded to indicate that he knew, and tacitly confused the matter, and pointed to the sweating students not far away with the folding fan in his hand and said, "General Xue, let's go over and have a look?" ”

"Let's go, I also want to see what kind of abilities these future long histories and secretaries have." Xue Rengui agreed with a smile, jumped off the horse, and walked over first.

Bai Wenmo smiled bitterly and shook his head, this is not a big deal, this General Xue has already arranged the way out for these students, I have to say that this hand is really good to use first.

After a while, Xue Rengui, Bai Wenmo and others came to the students, and then they were stunned to find that there were all kinds of strange catapults here.

Some have wheels and eight legs, and the throwing arm has also been changed in a variety of ways, some have a spoon on the throwing arm to eject objects, and some use a rope to hang the object that needs to be thrown on the throwing arm to extend the length of the throwing arm, saying that this can increase the distance.

And now the students are gathered together to find out whether to use the lanyard to throw or not.

"You're all full, you have nothing to do, right? Do you want to go back to school and back to the furnace? Bai Wenmo stood behind the students and listened for a long time, looking at Xue Rengui's somewhat strange face, and finally couldn't help the anger in his heart, and knocked the folding fan in his hand on the students' heads.

"Oops! Who hit me?! The pain in their heads caused the students to hug their heads and mutter.

"It's light to hit you, it's light to hit you! Let me help you get the trebuchet, you see what you got out, what are you doing with this on wheels? What do you want to drag it around? "Bai Wenmo is really angry.

This time they were at war with the Western Turks, and the main role of the trebuchet was to throw some weapons to block the enemy, and there was no need to be more sturdy and durable. Even if you poke two holes in the ground and insert a wooden pole, as long as you can throw something weighing two pounds two hundred paces away.

But now? How complicated and complicated these students are, it even takes several hours for a trebuchet to come out, this kind of, in Bai Wenmo's opinion, is a slap in the face.

And the students also feel aggrieved, they are too idealistic, they always think that they will do their best, and the kind of things that can be done with two wooden poles are too ugly, and they really can't show their level when they get it.

"Okay, Lao Bai, just hit it twice." Seeing Lao Bai chasing after the students all over the field, Xue Rengui hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"These bastards, don't look at what time it is, if they do this, when the fight starts, they won't be able to make ten trebuchets, and everything will be delayed by then." Bai Wenmo angrily pointed at those aggrieved students, his eyes full of hatred.

"Teacher, this ......, we are not ......" The student who had been in charge of memorizing the drawings tried to explain.

"Lan Weidong, shut up for me, don't think I don't know, you must have done this, right? I know that you kid can do things the best......" Before the student finished speaking, Lao Bai's 'click' was a squirt, and the student couldn't raise his head until he finished scolding.

"Okay, let's get busy, let's get busy, speed up a little, and when this battle is over, I'll give you a month to toss, how about it?" A quarter of an hour later, Xue Rengui really couldn't help it, Bai Lao was really a teacher, and he nagged for a quarter of an hour, but it was useless to even repeat a word.

The students were scolded by Lao Bai, how to give amnesty after listening to Xue Rengui's words, pushed and shoved and dispersed, returned to a group of people who needed to be responsible for themselves, and instructed them how to get a simple trebuchet, and only Xue Rengui and his party were left at the discussion scene that was still in full swing just now.

"Okay Lao Bai, you have to give them a little time to adapt, and when they see the cruelty of war, they will soon really mature." Xue Rengui patted Bai Wenmo's shoulder and whispered comfort.

The toss just now made the relationship between Xue Rengui and Bai Wenmo seem much more familiar, and the way of speaking also seemed a lot easier.

Regarding Xue Rengui's closeness, Bai Wenmo responded smoothly, sighed and said, "Rengui, I didn't teach these children well. But don't worry, from now on, I'll be here myself, and I'll see who of them dares to jump out and play new tricks again. ”

"Forget it, it's a little bigger, and you still need a big army to guard here." Xue Rengui said jokingly, and then said to Yu Chi Baolin, who was standing aside and watching the excitement: "Baolin, take care of them, don't let them get together, three days, three hundred trebuchets, if you can't finish it, you won't be able to eat." ”

"Cheng, I'll leave this matter to me." Yu Chi Baolin nodded a little, took care of the matter, and leaned over to the students with a wicked smile on his face.

There are countless ways to toss people in the 'fangs' brigade, and some young students, if they don't obey and serve them some 'appetizers', it won't take them two hours to make them honest and well-behaved like rabbits.
