Rong Jiu's words are nonsense, even if they want to retreat now, they have no choice but to retreat.

During the time when Rong Jiu explained his experience, everyone had enough rest.They will each slap their buttocks and get up to find the place where Beidi crossed the trench in the past.It's not hard to find that place, just walk two to 300 meters to the left.However, after finding everyone's face, they still don't look good, because there is no difference between having and not having it.

In ancient times, deep moats were usually dug to divert water to defend the city. There were two methods to cross the moat during the siege, one was hard-filled with stone and wood, and the other was easier to build a moat bridge.Beidi was well prepared for the siege at that time. In addition to the flying stone cart, there was actually a trench bridge.The land-connecting part of the trench bridge is still there, but only a dark frame after being burned is left in the short section of the bridge that extends forward. The longer part disappears, and it probably fell directly into the trench after being burned by the fire.

I don't know if it's because they have been attacked one after another in the past two days. Seeing the burnt trench bridge, the crowd didn't even have an angry expression, which can almost be described as insensitive.Rong Jiu was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "The city is ruined, and the evacuation is also evacuated. If there is time to clean up the corpses, the rare things such as flying stones, moats and bridges are left here, and the bridge will be burned. Road closures—are their brains made of mud?"

"Didn't you say it all, their brains are made of mud, how can we figure it out?" Lan Zui stared at the darkness in front of him and muttered, his eyes were full of helplessness, and his eyes moved down the darkness, "Come on, we are We can’t take advantage of the Beidi people, no matter how deep the trench is, there is still a bottom, at worst we climb to the bottom of the trench and then climb up again. I don’t believe in this evil even if I’m drunk, and I won’t be able to enter this city!”

"I'm afraid you have a good idea." Rong Shisan had been clearing the arrow shafts on the ground just now, and finally cleared a way to the edge of the trench.He was squatting on the edge of the trench and using a flashlight to shine down, then he turned his head and asked the people behind him abruptly, "Do you want to take a bath?

"Taking a bath?" If you say that after entering the desert, your body is sweaty and wet, who doesn't want to take a bath?But Rong Shisan's question was strange, Bai Suhe was stunned for a moment, before he understood, Lan Zui had already walked along the cleared path that was less than two feet wide.

"What's down here?" When we got to the edge of the trench, the hot and humid feeling suddenly became more obvious, and the place where the flashlight could shine was covered with a layer of white mist, which tightly covered the bottom of the trench.

Lan Zui stretched out his hand and waved it twice in the mist, feeling that his palm was wet, and had a bad premonition in his heart——

"Don't tell me there's a hot spring below..."

Rong Shisan didn't answer, just fished something from the side and threw it down. The fog was quickly pierced and then quickly closed. After a few seconds, there was a dull 'plop' sound from the bottom: "Congratulations, you got the answer right, there is no prize."

"I..." Lan Zui was speechless, turned around and took a steel rod back, tied it to a rope and threw it down, and brought it up again after a while, as soon as his finger touched it, he retracted it immediately, "Wipe!"

The following is more than just a hot spring, it is simply boiling water!If you want to go down, you have to become boiled meat.

"Are you going to climb down?"

"..."

Lan Zui was silent, stood up, walked back into the crowd, and suddenly fell into Jun Yihuang's arms: "I can't do it, I want to be quiet!"

In Jun Yihuang's eyes, Lan Zui has always been like a tenacious xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death. Now seeing Lan Zui's expression of "I'm already a useless cat" deeply shocked, if the timing is not right, Jun Yihuang really wants to laugh. I had to pat her on the back to comfort her.

Seeing Lan Zui dawdling on the chest of He Lanfu's body, although Meng Zheng didn't express his opinion, his face was so dark that he couldn't see it. He walked to the edge of the moat bridge, raised his hand and shot another Flares.

The red light swayed again, cutting through the darkness.

This time the goal was clear, and under the red light, it could be seen that the trench ahead was not straight. It didn't look like a man-made excavation, but rather a natural river ditch that was artificially trimmed.There is a protruding part of the section directly opposite the trench bridge, like an eagle's beak.The city wall was built next to the moat, and it can be seen that part of the top of the wall has collapsed, and thick black poles are inserted horizontally and vertically on the top of the wall.The eagle's mouth is about 250 meters away from here, which is about [-] meters closer than other places. Beidi built a trench bridge here, and this is the shortest distance between trenches.

The red light dissipated, Mengzheng was already thinking about it, she went back to Lan Zui and grabbed her clothes, pulling her away from Jun Yihuang's chest: "Sister Lan, I have a solution!"

Lan Zui looked at Meng Zheng from the side, and said narrowly with a vicious taste, "Are you trying to get your wits out of a hurry?"

Meng Zheng pretended not to understand Lan Zui's teasing, looked back at Lan Zui's expression, and slowly frowned: "You thought of that too?"

"Otherwise, can I have such a leisurely mind? God knows what's going on over there. Now that I have time, I'll make some money first."

Lan Zui finally straightened his face, walked to the side of the flying stone machine, held the handle of the rotating shaft and began to shake it.

It was the first time for her to see real siege equipment, and she had roughly observed the structure of the flying stone cart and bed crossbow when she came here before.These things are all made of solid wood, covered with copper skin for anti-corrosion, and they are not exposed to the sun and rain in the ground, so they are still solid as a whole.The bed crossbow is long by one person, with double-layered strings stretched at the back, and there is a handle on each side for two people to pull the strings at the same time, and then shoot the arrows.It's just that the time is too long, and the strings are not protected by the outer layer, so they are decayed and lose their elasticity.The bulky flying stone cart is different from the exquisite bed crossbow. Even the parts are thick and solid, and it can be used as long as the central axis is continuous.

When Jun Yihuang and Bai Suhe saw Lan Zui moving the flying stone cart, their expressions changed at the same time.Jun Yihuang stopped Lan Zui from moving, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"

"Yihuang, you're thinking too much. I just want to tie the stone with a rope and throw it over the city wall." Lan Zui patted Jun Yihuang amusedly, motioning for her to let go.It would be best if the bed crossbow could be used, it would be much more accurate, just shoot it onto the crenel with a grapple and stick it out of the crenel.It's just that the bed crossbow can't be used now, so it can only be the next best thing.

Jun Yihuang and Bai Suhe breathed a sigh of relief, they thought that Lan Zui planned to be a trapeze himself.

The idea isn't too risky, but it's worth a try.The flying stone machine uses the principle of leverage, and there are many people surrounding the thick boulders.Several men first filled the large basket with large stones, then turned the crankshaft to tighten the rope under the small basket, lowered the small basket, and loaded a slightly smaller stone.As the other axis rotated, the hook under the small basket came loose, and the big basket sank, and the stones in the small basket flew out through the air quickly with a long rope tail.

The effective distance of large flying stone vehicles is about 300 meters. The distance is enough, but the accuracy is not enough.Either it bounced on the city wall or it didn't get stuck. Until the ninth stone, it was pulled from several angles several times and it didn't come loose, so it finally got stuck.

Fortunately, Xiri Ahong, a strong man, was there. Even so, the Rong Shisan brothers and Reyimu were sweating profusely from moving the stones, and they sat on the ground and couldn't breathe.

Lan Zui tied the rope tightly to the trebuchet, stretched his arms and legs, and prepared to climb up the climbing rope.

Looking at the dangling rope as thin as a little finger hanging between the two banks, Jun Yihuang felt bad all the time, stopped Lan Zui again, and said, "Why don't I go there first, even if I fall, I... It doesn't matter."

Although it was not good for Bai Suhe to hear this, it was the truth.

Lan Zui was slightly stunned, glanced at Bai Suhe and Meng Zheng, saw the corners of Bai Suhe's mouth twitched, and Meng Zheng's face, which just looked better, turned dark again.

"Yihuang, although you're fine, but—well, this rope is actually not very easy to climb..." Lan Zui explained in the most euphemistic way, hoping that Jun Yihuang was not hurt.The city wall on the opposite side is slightly higher than this side, and with such a rope to climb from low to high, it is estimated that other than her and Rong Shisan in this group, it is really impossible.

Jun Yihuang froze, speechless, and couldn't help but feel annoyed at her uselessness.

"Don't worry, that end is stuck, it's just a matter of effort. I'll go find a short place to re-tie the rope, and you'll be able to slide over when the time comes." Lan Zui enjoyed Jun Yihuang's care quite a lot, How could Jun Yihuang be worried, she whispered to comfort her.

"Then be careful." Lan Zui was telling the truth, and Jun Yihuang couldn't refute it, so it was up to her.

Seeing Lan Zui clinging to the rope with hands and feet, swaying and moving forward, his figure gradually blurred, Jun Yihuang became more and more uneasy, feeling inexplicably terrified.

After the middle section, there was no trace of Lan Zui at all, and the rope shook more and more, almost as if it was about to break.

Lan Zui was hanging on the rope. She had acted confident just now, but she was actually not very sure.The force of the horizontal pull is different from the downward force of a person actually hanging on the rope. If the stone is slightly loose, she will easily pull the stone out of the bayonet due to her frequent shaking and falling.

It's just that they don't have wings, and this is the only way to cross the wide trench.Lan Zui temporarily stopped moving forward, rested for a few seconds, twisted his back and waist that had started to stiffen due to exertion and tension, causing the rope to sway again.The steaming hot air from the bottom of the trench continuously smoked on her back, making her clothes almost drenched, and she didn't know whether it was sweat or water vapor.

Lan Zui raised his head and glanced in front of him, he could already vaguely see the outline of the city wall, and he could reach it with a little more effort.

The more rigid the hands and feet are in the back, the slower the movement speed will be.Sweat mixed with mist seeped into Lan Zui's eyes, making her right eye very uncomfortable, but she couldn't spare her hand to wipe it.From her position, she could already see the city wall clearly, and it was roughly estimated that it was about ten meters away.But also because of the close distance, she could hear the sound of the rocks rubbing against the rocks above as the rope swayed, which made her feel a little nervous, and she just wanted to speed up and end this hellish torture on a down-to-earth basis.

The faster the speed, the stronger the natural shaking of the rope.

There was an abrupt sound different from the sound of stones rubbing against the city wall, and Lan Zui's heart sank. Before he could have any other thoughts, he felt that the rope he was clinging to was suddenly empty, and he could no longer borrow it. Fall down quickly.
