Chapter 206

Beheading a general before the formation to dampen the morale of Xuzhoucheng was impossible!

Now he could only pin his hopes on Guo Jia's catapult!

This kind of modified catapult!

Was absolutely a great siege weapon!

"Let's see if there are any good things in the reputation marketplace!"

Pondering, Lin Yang also started checking his reputation marketplace as usual!

Ever since this reputation marketplace was upgraded to level four, wanting to upgrade to level five required him to become a Provincial Governor!

Only then could he continue to upgrade!

This also made Lin Yang look forward to some good things appearing in the special items every time!

"Whoosh!"

With a thought, the next moment, the special items of the reputation marketplace appeared before Lin Yang's eyes!

Special Items

One barrel of fierce fire oil: 10,000 reputation (limited to ten thousand copies)

One bag of high-yield corn seeds: 100 reputation (limited to one hundred thousand copies)

PS: Consume one billion reputation to become a Provincial Governor, and you can upgrade to a level-five reputation marketplace!

Level one, two, three, and four marketplace items can be purchased up to three hundred thousand copies daily, and the marketplace refreshes at midnight every day!

Lin Yang, who was originally indifferent, just wanted to see if any good things appeared!

As a result!

Looking at the items refreshed this time, Lin Yang was stunned!

"This, what is this?"

Looking at the two items that appeared in the special items column, Lin Yang's breathing suddenly became rapid!

That high-yield corn seed, Lin Yang was just excited for a moment!

What Lin Yang cared about most was the fierce fire oil above!

One barrel of fierce fire oil!

Hiss!

Fierce fire oil!

Isn't this petroleum!

This thing appeared in the Geography Records written by Ban Gu in the Han Dynasty!

Gaonu County has water that can burn!

This describes petroleum!

However!

At this time, it was not called petroleum; it wasn't until the Dream Pool Essays written by Shen Kuo of the Song Dynasty that the name petroleum was mentioned!

In the Han Dynasty, although this thing was discovered, no one paid attention to it!

It wasn't until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period that it was used by people!

"Petroleum, this is petroleum!"

Didn't expect that his marketplace could actually buy this!

Different from the petroleum of later generations, this fierce fire oil burns when it meets fire!

"Exchange, exchange it all!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Yang directly exchanged for all ten thousand copies of fierce fire oil!

The existence of this thing!

With fierce fire oil, Lin Yang felt even more confident in capturing Xuzhoucheng!

A week later, in Lin Yang's army

"Start!"

With an order, the next moment, the ready catapult suddenly cut the rope!

"Whoosh!"

The catapult built using the lever principle directly threw dozens of catties of crushed stone toward the distance!

"Boom... boom... boom..."

The crushed stone fell, and there was a sudden earth-shaking!

The sky-filling stones fell to the ground, and many of the wooden stakes that had been piled up were knocked down!

"My lord, the throwing distance of this modified catapult can reach five hundred paces!"

"With this sharp weapon, Xuzhoucheng will be broken in a few days!"

Li Gang on the side, looking at this siege weapon, said excitedly!

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, on the other hand, seemed to have known about the effect of this catapult and were not surprised at all!

"Fengxiao's catapult is indeed a sharp weapon!"

Looking at this catapult that was several meters high, Lin Yang still quite appreciated the craftsmanship of this era!

"However, using this cart to throw stones, the power is a bit insufficient!"

Looking at the crushed stones on the other side, although many wooden stakes were broken, there were still many wooden stakes that were not affected!

"My lord, this catapult is too big, it's hard to maintain accuracy like a bow and arrow!"

Guo Jia also said helplessly, even the catapult he modified could not maintain accuracy!

The stones thrown could only fall in a rough position!

"Fengxiao, you are wrong, the lord means that this stone can be replaced by other things!"

Cheng Yu, who had followed Lin Yang for a long time, spoke up at this moment!

Lin Yang didn't think the catapult was bad!

He thought the stones were bad!

"Uh, my lord, your explosive bag is too dangerous!"

Stones are bad?

He also wanted to change to an explosive bag!

But your explosive bag cannot be timed!

Who knows if it will explode in mid-air or on the catapult!

This is too dangerous!

"My lord, I have a plan to maximize the power of the catapult!"

Just as Guo Jia was stunned, Cheng Yu on the side had already stood up and bowed!

Cheng Yu speaking suddenly made Lin Yang's brows furrow tightly!

Looking at Cheng Yu, Lin Yang's heart, for some reason, had a trace of unease!

"Oh?" Raising his brows slightly, Lin Yang asked tentatively, "What strategy does Zhongde have?"

"My lord, there are still over a thousand soldiers in the army who are unwilling to surrender, I..."

"Cough, Fengxiao, I was wrong just now!"

Before Cheng Yu could finish speaking, Lin Yang coughed and turned to apologize to Guo Jia!

He shouldn't have questioned Guo Jia's catapult just now!

Good guy!

Those over a thousand surrendered soldiers in the army were actually being eyed by Cheng Yu!

Fortunately, his army had sufficient food and fodder!

Otherwise, those over a thousand soldiers would probably be gone!

"Uh, Zhongde, this strategy of yours!"

Cheng Yu didn't finish, but Guo Jia had already guessed Cheng Yu's meaning!

A strategy to attack the heart!

Only!

This strategy was a bit too vicious!

"My lord, if this strategy succeeds, the defending soldiers will inevitably lose their composure, and the great army can take the opportunity to besiege the city!"

Cheng Yu bowed, not caring at all!
