Chapter 203
In the darkness of night, Jida led a team of hundreds and climbed up from the steep west side of Mount Hengzi.

After entering the Hengshan village, they saw nearly two hundred corpses of men, women and children scattered all over the place.

The crow eating the corpse saw someone coming, so it flapped its wings and flew away.

"Damn, Bao Lide doesn't clean up after killing someone."

Jida casually pulled an arrow from the corpse and handed it to the soldiers behind him.

Thinking that Baolide might be trapped in the Guancheng at the foot of the mountain, he put away his complaints and spread his hands to look at the sky.

"Lai Changsheng protects Bao Lide from the siege..."

Having said that, the fighting at the foot of the mountain is getting quieter and quieter.

Jida thought to himself, it seems that this place is too far away from Changshengtian, and there was no time to protect Baolide.

It was almost dawn at this time, and he knew that it was not appropriate to continue the siege, and he should first occupy the Hengzi cottage to rest and wait for Ashu's follow-up orders.

"Throw the body out, and we will set up camp."

"Centurion, where to throw it?"

Jida wanted to say "throw it casually", but he had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Can you throw it into the pass city at the foot of the mountain?"

"If you can't throw it down, you need a cannon cart."

Suddenly someone said: "It seems that the city is going to be stormed. Anyway, I have to make a cannon cart. Why don't I make a small one first and throw the corpse in."

The speaker named "Boriged" is very long, and he is in charge of logistics, so he is good at making artillery vehicles.

Jida nodded and said, "Okay, hurry up."

Bozhiged said: "Throwing rocks from the bottom of this mountain, you don't need a cannon cart, you can just make a small one. The centurion sent me [-] miscellaneous soldiers, and I made one of them in three hours to throw the corpse."

"Three hours?" Jida said, "I've been busy all night, hurry up and pack up the village, and stay here."

He felt that it was a bit troublesome, and he thought about throwing the corpse away at will, but after all, he thought it was more interesting to throw the corpse into the city to scare the Song army. Take it easy."

"Well, the centurion is a good idea."

"How long will it take to finish all the artillery vehicles for the siege?"

"Two more days."

Jeddah said: "It's been too long, hurry up."

Boriged complied and asked the miscellaneous soldiers to carry the corpse while shouting, while he went to choose wood to build the gun cart.

Cannon carts are also simply called catapults.

For example, if you want to throw a stone at the enemy, even if you throw it down from a mountain, it doesn't mean that you can throw it easily.

The rocks that people can handle are often too small to hit accurately and have little lethality; while large wood and rocks roll down the mountain and are blocked by trees, or they immediately change direction when they hit the rocks.

Only by building a cannon cart can you throw stones to kill the enemy and attack the city.

This Hengshan village has some rocks and trees, but no cannon carts.

Boriged felt very strange.

He knew that Junlian Prefecture was Jimi Prefecture, and the Song Army didn't have many troops, nor did it have any real generals. In addition, Ashu attacked from Dali, and the Song Army's defenses were insufficient, so it was normal that they didn't build artillery vehicles.

The strange thing is that the Song army like this was able to kill Bao Lide's team of [-] people in the city.

"If this Song general had the ability, he should have launched artillery on Hengzi Mountain and Makouyan; if he had no ability, how could he have ambushed Bao Lide? It's so weird..."

Bozhiged muttered, and after a while he chose the material for the cannonball.

He took out a brush from his pocket, sharpened the ink, and began to mark the size.

"It's been a long time since I fired a cannon. I've followed the general southward for so long, and I almost forgot how to do it. The tip is two feet long... No, more than one foot is enough. Make a small pass..."

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone shout from the foot of the mountain.

"Is Centurion Jeddah here? The general has orders!"

"What?!" Jida yelled, "Eri Leheke, is that you?"

"Yes, General Ashu ordered you to occupy Hengzi's cottage to rest, fire artillery, and prepare for a strong attack..."

Jida shouted: "I know, the cannons are being fired, and this little broken city will be shot down after a few blows, hahaha!"

"The general also said, be careful of the Song army attacking, do you want to send someone to support you?!"

Jida laughed loudly, and said: "There are only more than 300 Song troops in Guancheng, and all of them are not enough for me to fight. This is condescending, and 50 people are enough for me to defend!"

After he finished laughing, he said again: "No need, the general doesn't have many people left, I have too many people, I can't even live there!"

Erile Heke shouted: "The general told you to keep an eye on the north to see if the Song army has reinforcements."

"it is good!"

"Hurry up and fire, don't take too long."

"I know, I know. Orilheke, do you want to come up?"

"No, I have to report back to the general. The general tells you that you must be careful of the Song army's counterattack." Erile and Ke finished shouting with their heads up, turned and walked down the mountain...

Jida turned around and entered the stockade, still muttering.

"General, don't take me for a fool. Who doesn't know the importance of Mount Hengzi? If General Song has some brains, it would be serious to withdraw from Guancheng as soon as possible."

He led a centurion, with nearly 90 Mongolian soldiers and more than [-] miscellaneous soldiers.At this time, the miscellaneous soldiers were arranged to work, and half of the Mongolian soldiers were sent to be on duty...

~~
Although Erile and Ke told Jida to be careful on behalf of Ashu, he also believed that it was impossible for the Song army to counterattack Hengzi Shanzhai.

It was only attacked at night, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses confronting each other outside the Guancheng. How could it be possible that the Song army came up?

How dare you have to climb Hengzi Mountain at this time?

There are more than 300 people, all of them are not enough to fight Jeddah...

Thinking of this, Erile and Ke walked, and the sky was getting brighter.

He turned his head and saw a ray of sunrise blooming in the sky, which was very magnificent.

"Ah, I really miss the grassland..."

"puff."

A hand stretched out from behind the tree trunk and covered Orilheke's mouth, and at the same time, a dagger was sliced ​​across his throat.

The blood sprayed on the accumulated leaves on the ground, making a low moan like the morning wind, mixed with the first ray of sunlight.

"I'm sending you back to the grassland." Li Xia whispered.

When the shouting messenger soldier yelled the first sentence, Li Xia had already sneaked up in ambush.

Erile and Ke closed their eyes and fell between the mountains and forests...

~~
"If I were a woman, I'd marry him." Hai Jinliu squatted in the bushes, looked up at the scene of Li Xianwei's murder in front of him, and murmured in a low voice.

"He is very proficient in killing people, unlike Song Guan." Po Dongha said, "Like my old boss."

"Let's go, it's time to avenge the people in Hengzi Village."

Holding the bow, Hai Jinliu walked out of the bushes with a short body, and approached Li Xia.

"Li Xianwei, come with me. If you can't go up, I'll pull you."

"Let's go." Li Xia nodded, feeling the change in the soldier's attitude.

The reason why he wanted to personally kill the Mongolian soldier under his feet was to show his strength to these soldiers.

The group continued to climb up.

In the team were Luhu, Xiongshan, two tribesmen from Xiongshan, [-] river patrolmen, and more than [-] village soldiers.

These more than one hundred people are all those who are good at mountain climbing selected by Huo Hu.

Gradually approaching the top of the mountain.

"Shh."

Hai Jinliu leaned forward, then retracted, and said in a low voice, "More than 30 miscellaneous soldiers are making wood. There are more than 40 Mongolian soldiers on duty."

Li Xia frowned, turned his head to look, and saw that the sky had already brightened.

He leaned down himself, took a peek over cautiously, and saw the half-built gun carriage...

~~
"This piece of wood is used as the shaft of the cannon. You carry it up, and the cannon mount is finished..."

Having said this, Boriged yawned and felt a little tired.

Suddenly, someone shouted from the foot of the mountain.

"Centurion Jeddah, are you there?"

The voice was not loud, and the Mongolian accent was a little weird.

Bozhiged walked a few steps forward and saw a Mongolian pawn climbing up. He walked with a limp. Because he was climbing a mountain, he lowered his head and couldn't see clearly from a distance.

Reflecting on the accent he heard, Boriged called out, "Lehoge, is that you?"

"No, I'm China."

Bozhiged couldn't remember which team this "China" belonged to for a while, and shouted: "The centurion is asleep, what's the matter with you?"

"General A Shu sent food and grass up, you send 50 people down to help move it."

Borged said: "We are almost ready to set up a cannon cart, and we can't stay on the mountain for three days without food and grass."

"It's all delivered, let's move it up, and we'll talk about it after moving it up."

The Mengzu at the foot of the mountain said, stopped and waved to the foot of the mountain, as if beckoning someone to move something.

Boriged had no choice but to bring the miscellaneous soldiers down the mountain to help move the grain and grass...
