At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 199 One Tool Township One City 【Subscription】

Luban, the Gongshuban of the State of Lu.

In ancient times, Luban craftsmen were second to none in terms of equipment manufacturing.

In order to convince Dou Jiande, Xu Mu thought of the Luban survivors.

After all, six to seven hundred years have passed since the Qin and Han Dynasties. They disappeared back then, and now they are nowhere to be found.

The greater possibility is that it fell apart and turned into major artisan sects, which were passed down.

After getting Dou Jiande's promise, Ling Qian took full responsibility for the matter.

Not long after, a city defense device was sent over.

Ling Qian quickly transferred it to the front line to support Gao Yaxian in Mingshui City.

Gao Yaxian, Dou Jiande's general, is loyal to Dou Jiande, and because of this, even though he lost the Mingshui defense line and retreated to Mingshui City, Dou Jiande, who is thinking about his old love, has not... punished him for his crime.

In fact, it is very undesirable to head-to-head with Turkic cavalry.

After all, the Turks took Xue Yantuo's tribe as the vanguard, they were not afraid of death, and they liked field battles very much.

If you want to contain them, you can only use the convenience of the city.

……

Mingshui City.

Gao Yaxian, who was in his fifties, stood on the low city wall, looking at the menacing Xue Yantuo's men in front of him, his face was full of worry.

"Father, Mingshui City is too short, so it's not an option to keep defending like this. Why don't I lead a thousand elites to sneak attack at night, and see if I can crush Xue Yantuo's troops and buy time for our army!" Behind Gao Yaxian , a white-robed man in his twenties knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice.

Gao Yaxian turned around slowly, looked at his adopted son, and said with a wry smile: "The Turks are ferocious, and our army has never carried out night raids before. This move is too dangerous."

"But foster father—" the young general in white robe wanted to say something else.

But Gao Yaxian waved his hand to stop him and said: "Ding Fang, news from the military master, there is a Lu Ban survivor, a city defense device, which is said to be a city with a weapon, maybe we can use this device to guard Mingshui City! "

In his hand, he tightly held a letter from Ling Qian, which told him that an artifact for city defense would arrive tomorrow.

And the young general in white robe behind him is exactly Su Lie.

Su Dingfang did not dare to disobey the foster father's order, so he could only nod in agreement and gave up the idea of ​​night attack.

Since the death of his biological father, Su Ding conveniently joined the army under Dou Jiande's command.

Relying on his bravery, he was promoted from soldier to soldier, and finally attracted Gao Yaxian's attention.

Gao Yaxian, who has no children, loves him very much, and even adopts him as his adopted son.

It's a pity that at this time, Su Dingfang didn't show any talent except bravery.

Therefore...he did not show his prominence under Dou Jiande's command.

……

The next day.

Xue Yantuo launched a fierce attack.

And the defense equipment supported by Xu Mu had already been installed on the tower by Gao Yaxian.

This city defense tool, called Spike, is composed of two parts.

One part is a huge log, and on the log, there are iron nails everywhere, the kind that can pierce a person's chest.

The other part is to pull the lever, and use the roller and the rope to recover the log that was pushed down the tower.

Using the principle of leverage, it can be reused many times, and it is extremely labor-saving.

After two hours of onslaught.

"Father! This thing is really a magic tool! As long as the three of you work together, you can manipulate this thing, and Xue Yantuo's troops have already retreated!" Su Dingfang looked excited, stroking the blood-stained mace, and his heart was surging.

Under the low walls of Mingshui City... countless corpses have already piled up.

The officers and men of Xue Yantuo who were climbing the ladder were rolled by the spikes on the way, their chests were pierced by sharp thorns, and they fell to the ground.

It can be said that the defense of the city tower this time is extremely easy.

Gao Yaxian was also quite happy, stroked his beard and nodded and said: "It really is a thing of Lu Ban's survivors. Its exquisite structure is unparalleled in the world. The three of them can control such a huge thing together!"

He looked up at the huge mace, and happily wrote a memorial to Dou Jiande.

Tell Dou Jiande that he has stabilized the situation.

Although Mingshui City is low and low, as long as there are the defense equipment of the Luban survivors, it will be safe!
It's just...he underestimated Xue Yantuo's fearlessness.

In the case of heavy casualties, after resting for two hours, Xue Yantuo took advantage of the darkness to launch another battle to climb the city!
They fought until late at night, when they couldn't see their fingers, Xue Yantuo's troops retreated.

Gao Yaxian and the others still tenaciously defended Mingshui City by relying on the mace.

In front of the defense equipment, the soldiers of Xue Yantuo who climbed the ladder were not worthy of flesh and blood.

But on the second day, Xue Yantuo's department seemed to go crazy, and continued to launch a fierce attack early in the morning.

Regardless of the casualties, the wolf tooth racket was reused many times, and finally there was... malfunction.

That's right, it's a glitch.

The roller is stuck.

It is impossible to pull the wolf-toothed log that has been pushed down to the bottom of the city tower back to the city tower.

Then Xue Yantuo took the opportunity to climb up the tower. Gao Yaxian, Su Dingfang and others vowed to kill the enemy, but the top of the city was lost, and Xue Yantuo kept climbing up the ladder...

The situation is gone, Gao Yaxian said in a deep voice: "My lord has treated me very kindly. I will throw Mingshui first, and then Mingshui city. I have no face to meet my lord, so I can only die in the city! Dingfang, you are still young and extremely intelligent. What you lack is accumulation, you cannot be buried here with your adoptive father!"

While killing the enemy, Gao Yaxian pulled Su Dingfang who was full of tears, pushed him to the gate of the back city, and helped him mount the horse himself.

"My lord is kind, for the sake of my martyrdom, I won't embarrass you! Dingfang, after leaving, practice the art of war diligently and study martial arts hard. You must remember that one day, you will kill all the Turks and avenge your foster father!"

Gao Yaxian roared in a low voice, patted Su Dingfang as he sat down on his horse, and watched Su Dingfang leave.

"Father—" Su Dingfang bit his lip tightly, riding on the horse, looking back.

It can only be seen that Gao Yaxian is caught in the siege of a group of Xue Yantuo soldiers.

One knife after another was inserted into his chest.

Su Dingfang held the reins tightly, and the word revenge kept echoing in his heart.

"Turk! I, Su Dingfang, will not kill you all in this life. I will not be human!"

Su Dingfang's lower lip was bitten with blood, but he didn't know it.

He lost his father since childhood, and only after he joined Dou Jiande's army, Gao Yaxian treated him as his own.

Let him feel the father's love again.

Most of the reason why he played for Dou Jiande was because of Gao Yaxian.

……

Golden City Palace.

Dou Jiande has just received the good news from Gao Yaxian, saying that he is guarding Mingshui City by relying on the wolf tooth shooter, and it must be foolproof.

But it didn't take long for him to receive the battle report of the fall of Mingshui City from the scouts.

Then, Su Dingfang fled back alone.

"The wolf tooth shooter is malfunctioning and cannot be used. Xue Yantuo's troops took advantage of the situation to attack the tower, and his adoptive father died with Mingshui City..." Su Dingfang knelt in front of Dou Jiande with a sad expression.

He told the ins and outs of the loss of the city this time.

Dou Jiande looked at him coldly.

The entire Gao Yaxian tribe was killed in battle, and only Su Dingfang survived.

But he didn't intend to question Su Dingfang at all.

Gao Yaxian followed him for several years, was loyal to him, and confidant to him. Now that he died in the city, if he killed Gao Yaxian's adopted son whom he loved like a son again, it would be impossible to justify it.

"You go back."

Dou Jiande waved his hand to make Su Dingfang back down.

Although Su Dingfang was not killed, it was obvious that the latter, as a fugitive general, would not be activated again.

"Military division! Is this what you said, one weapon can control one city?"

Dou Jiande was in a very bad mood at this moment, turned around and looked at Ling Qian coldly.

There is a great meaning of inspiring the teacher to inquire about the crime.

Ling Qian waved the feather fan, with a calm and indifferent expression, "Master, when people are still tired, let alone utensils? After a long time of use, problems will naturally occur."

The truth he said made Dou Jiande speechless for a while.

But think carefully...

This thing is free!

In the early stage, through Su Dingfang's mouth, he could already imagine how important the wolf tooth shoot was in this battle of defending the city.

It can be said that such a low Mingshui City, if there is no spike, I am afraid that it will not be able to persist on the first day.

While Dou Jiande was contemplating, Ling Qian then spoke again: "The news came from the Luban bereaved family, asking if the lord wants to order another batch of Spike rackets."

Hearing this, Dou Jiande couldn't help but look down at the map.

Now that Mingshui City has been lost, the Turks are heading south again and are about to approach Huguan.

As for Huguan, it has been a fortress since ancient times, and the city is towering. If it is equipped with such a sharp weapon for defending the city...

"Yes! Let them make a price!"

Dou Jiande took a deep breath, and said decisively: "This time, I want ten!"

After using the trial version for free, Dou Jiande already knows... the importance of Langya Pai.

If it guards Huguan, he believes that the sharpness of Turkic cavalry will be broken here!

Then, according to the request in the lord's secret letter, Ling Qian said leisurely: "The survivors of Luban said that they don't exchange money, only artisans."

Dou Jiande frowned: "Craftsman?"

He originally thought that the Luban survivors would ask for gold, silver and treasures.

He has a lot of these things.

But the craftsman's words...

With all his troops, he might not be able to get together a hundred men.

Many of them were formerly under Sima Dekan's command and fled from Jiangdu.

"That's right, the survivors of Luban made a price, ten ordinary craftsmen, for one city defense device!" Ling Qian continued to speak loudly.

According to Xu Mu's request, he started a human transaction.

Dou Jiande half-closed his eyes, and turned to look at He Chou in the hall.

He was originally the Tai Fuqing of Jiangdu City, but after Sima Dekan's defeat, he fled to his command and surrendered to him.

Back then, when Yang Guang conquered Liaodong and crossed the Liaoshui River, he was condemned to build the bridge, which was completed in two days.

The world was shocked.

In addition, building a Liuhe city with a length and width of more than ten kilometers on flat land overnight is an unprecedented miracle.

He Chou also contributed a lot to Dou Jiande's Jincheng Palace.

"How many craftsmen are there under our army?" Dou Jiande asked in a deep voice.

He Chou's heart sank...

He understood that the lord is going to betray someone.

However, he surrendered to this point, life and death have long been out of his control, so he could only smile wryly: "My lord, besides my ministers, there are still 59 craftsmen under my command."

　Old rules, two shifts at night.
