Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

Everyone covered their mouths and noses one after another, rushed out of the room, and scattered in an orderly manner at the door.

Xue Lince was assigned the task of leading the troops to capture the catapults. He stood on the city wall and used all the things that Master Hua had taught him before. Arrows, arrows, bows and crossbows, boiling oil and golden juice were all pouring down, without mercy .

The rebels who attacked the city gate under the city wall did not expect this move, and almost all of them were hit by the move. Their skin was burned to pieces, and their blood flowed into rivers.

All this tragedy fell into Xue Lince's eyes, his long brows were tightly frowned, although some sympathy arose in his heart, his resistance movements were not slow at all.

Uncle Hua said that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to the common people. Now he is not doing it for himself, but for the thousands of innocent civilians behind him. He has no complaints or regrets, and a clear conscience.

The battle has entered a fierce stage. The bow and arrow team he led has successfully captured two catapults. The roaring smoke above his head has suddenly become much thinner, and the smoke billowing behind him has also become thinner. Looking around, he can barely see the people on the street. The people who run to help each other.

Just as a hint of relief rose in his heart, suddenly the general of another bow and arrow team came to him in a hurry.

"Sir, it's not good."

The general's face was sad, his face was clouded with an ugly pale color.

Xue Lince has heard bad news since he joined the battlefield, and he didn't panic at this time. He only slowed down his tone and said in relief: "Didn't you already take down the two trebuchets? Why are you so panicked?"

The general wiped the cold sweat off his forehead indiscriminately, "My lord, it is true that this trebuchet took down two rounds, but you can find that the number of bows and arrows lost is far less than the number captured, which can be said to be a thousand enemies!" Lose yourself eight hundred! Fifty thousand bows and arrows took down two trebuchets, and now there are only [-] arrows left!"

Xue Lince's heart skipped a beat, and a worried look appeared on his face.

The fight was so hearty just now that he actually forgot about this one!
"What should we do?" The general had no idea, so he could only pull Xue Lince to ask, "My lord, what should we do?"

Xue Lince turned his gaze to the distance, and saw that the rebels guarding the city gate had already disappeared without a trace. He must have discovered that the plan in the city was to capture the trebuchet, so he hurried back to protect this huge machine.

"Pause the attack, withdraw half of the troops to defend the city gate."

Xue Lince spoke after thinking for a moment.

The other party was startled, "But..."

"Don't worry," Xue Lince could see his worry at a glance. "Although we don't have enough arrows, we can't lose the first layer of the rebel army. The opponent has already suffered heavy losses. Will we use trebuchets to attack again in a while? It is timid, and it is impossible to attack by force now that we have lost our troops."

The general was stunned for a moment, and then he gave Xue Lince a fistful salute solemnly, "Yes! This subordinate will lead the five bow and arrow teams in the north of the city to retreat to the city gate."

When he left quickly, Xue Lince looked at the several huge machines standing on the field, and a cloud of cloud appeared on his face again.

They didn't completely capture the trebuchet, they just crushed the rebels around it. If a substitute came up, the trebuchet would still be usable. Compared with this huge machine, arrows, bows and crossbows are like Gentle wind and drizzle can't hurt it in the slightest.

It should be completely destroyed to avoid future troubles!

He clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the hard stone door. The physical pain temporarily relieved the distress in his heart.

What should I do?How to destroy this device?

Emotions surged in my mind. At this time, the sky in all directions was filled with fish belly white, the cold stars and the moon faded away at some time, and the dome also regained some light.

Xue Lince looked at the reddening Dongfang, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

gunpowder!Currently only gunpowder has such a powerful ability to destroy!If the black powder is improved, the trebuchet will surely be blown to pieces!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly descended from the tower, and before he had time to catch his breath, he went to look for the regent.

Compared with other places in the city, the north of the city is considered the most peaceful place. In the battle last night, [-] soldiers moved out the civilians and soldiers trapped in the south of the city. Fortunately, Ke Ran dispensed the medicine quickly enough and there were no casualties. .

At this time, the poisoned people fell limply on the streets in the north of the city. Tang Luoyu and Ke Ran were in charge of distributing the antidote. Xue Lince and Tang Luoyu met on the street. However, the situation was critical, and the couple had no time to talk in detail, so they just looked at each other in the air. On the road, after exchanging a look full of encouragement and tenderness, they quickly passed each other and separated.

Xue Lince walked all the way through the street, and finally found the regent who had just returned to the hall after a night of fighting.

"Isn't Master Xue stationed on the city wall? How can he leave his post without authorization?"

When the regent saw him, he scolded him for a while.

Xue Lince had no time to argue, and said bluntly: "My lord, the trebuchet has been conquered for the time being, but it cannot be destroyed with the weapons at hand. If the rebels adjust one or two substitutes, it must not be before dusk. The trebuchet will work again."

The regent had been busy for three days and three nights without closing his eyes. Now his eyes were red and his eyelids were blue and gray. Hearing the words, he forced himself to be energetic again, and his nerves tensed up.

"Then according to Master Xue's words, what should we do?"

Xue Lince frowned, and spoke in a steady voice, "My subordinates believe that if we want to take down the trebuchet, we should improve the black powder and blast it with gunpowder to fundamentally smash the trebuchet."

"What?" The regent almost thought that he was hallucinating after so many days of sleepless nights, and his eyes bulged, "Master Xue, do you know that we have never used gunpowder on the battlefield? You also know that this gunpowder is used for festivals in fireworks and firecrackers." For fun? How do you take down a trebuchet with this child's thing?"

Xue Lince didn't say much, just knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "At present, there is only a quick and effective way to improve gunpowder. Please give me a chance, my lord!"

His attitude was extremely sincere, and because he had seen his intelligence before, the regent really hesitated now, the air was dull for a long time, and it became more and more suffocating. You have one chance, but you only have three hours, and when the hour comes, you have to go to the city gate to be on duty no matter whether you succeed or not."

After a pause, he added: "Nowadays, there is a lack of manpower in the city, and no one is proficient in the knowledge of medicinal pill furnaces. This time you can only study alone, and there are no extra helpers."

Xue Lince didn't dare to ask for such extravagance, so he quickly thanked him, and then went out of the gate non-stop, and started running in the streets to search for sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal.

He was also a chemical material with strong hands-on ability in high school, so it shouldn't be a problem to improve a black powder.
