Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 267 How Can You Not Surprise Them
The two of them were even more shocked than Ye Chen at this time. The sleeping flower was a strange flower that Chen Jingyuan accidentally discovered in his early years. According to Chen Jingyuan himself, even Chen Jingyuan would fall into a deep sleep after smelling the smell of this flower after it was lit. Among them, he couldn't wake up within half an hour.But now that Ye Chen has woken up, how could he not surprise them.

The young man was still stunned, but the middle-aged man had calmed down and said, "Ye Chen! We have given you the Heart Control Pill just now, and you must take the antidote every half a month, otherwise you will be in pain and your whole body will become extremely itchy. , I tore my own flesh and blood to death.”

Ye Chen felt chills when he heard this, and thought: "Fuck! It's really a drug, and it's the best drug." Ye Chen seems to have heard earlier that Chen Jingyuan used this strange drug to control the second son of the Southern Han Dynasty. It is extremely difficult to refine for the emperor.It seems that this is called Control Heart Pill.

Ye Chen's face changed, and the young man calmed down, and said proudly: "Ye Chen! You'd better not act rashly, and don't call someone to deal with us, otherwise if we die, no one will bring you the antidote, and you will definitely be in trouble. You can't live, you can't die."

Hearing what he said, Ye Chen's agitated heart gradually calmed down, his heart was full of murderous intent, his eyes flickered with coldness, he looked at the two of them and said, "No matter what happens to me in the end, you two can go to die now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he let out a long whistle, picked up the long sword from the wooden marching cabinet beside the bed, kicked his feet and stabbed at the middle-aged man.

The faces of the two changed drastically. They were not afraid of Ye Chen, but they were worried that Ye Chen's roar would attract the army, and they would be surrounded by the army. No matter how strong the two of them were, they would be dead.

"Catch Ye Chen and be a hostage, otherwise we won't be able to escape." The middle-aged man yelled, advancing instead of retreating, with a groan, he also drew out a long sword and took the initiative to meet Ye Chen.The young people are only a little slower to react than the middle-aged people, and they also use long swords.

The two are very confident in their own strength, and they think that together, they will be able to take Ye Chen down.

Ye Chen let out a long howl, which resounded through the barracks like thunder in the middle of the night. Countless Song soldiers a hundred meters away were awakened, all in a daze, but Wang Chao, Zhan Xiongwu, Cao Wei, Yang Yanping, and Luo Yaoshun recognized Ye Chen's voice. He asked the generals below to stabilize the troops, and no one was allowed to leave the tent without ordering, and then each of them rushed to Ye Chen's tent of the Chinese army with their own soldiers.In ancient times, military camps at night often had bombings or roars, and five people had to guard against them.

After the five people brought their own soldiers to the middle age, they found that there was a dead silence within a hundred feet of Ye Chen's tent. The sentry and the soldiers in the tent were all sleeping like dead pigs, and when they approached this area, they also felt dizzy. , becoming drowsy.Can't help but be surprised.

Zhan Xiongwu Jianghu has rich experience, and soon discovered the problem, and asked people to pour out the mosquito repellent herbs that were lit around with water.The night wind quickly blew away the original smell, and everyone's discomfort disappeared immediately.

The five people faintly heard the sound of fighting in Ye Chen's tent, anxious in their hearts, and led them to rush quickly.

When the five people led their people outside the tent of the Chinese army, there was a loud bang and two muffled hums. The majestic and sturdy tent of the Chinese army exploded violently in the next moment like a leather bag filled with too much wine. The debris flew out mixed with the things in the tent!

Two assassins rushed out, Zhan Xiongwu reacted the fastest, and stopped the middle-aged man among them with a shout of anger. Wang Chao, Cao Wei and the others were not slow to react, and led their soldiers to stop the other .

At this time, Ye Chen walked out of the broken tent intact, looking a little embarrassed, the strength of these two people is superb, not much worse than that of Si Luoyi back then, if it wasn't for his recent surge in strength, it is really possible that they would be taken by them Taken hostage.

Although the two are extremely powerful, how can they be opponents of more than 500 elite soldiers, not to mention Ye Chen and Zhan Xiongwu, two super masters who are not weaker than them.The ending is already doomed.The two were wounded and finally captured alive by Song Jun.

Originally, according to the intention of Cao Wei and others, all the more than 2000 Southern Han people were killed, but Ye Chen stopped them and didn't even conduct an investigation. The experts sent by Chen Jingyuan were handed over to Zhan Xiongwu for cruel interrogation.

Ye Chen looked at the north in the morning light, his expression was a little worried, but also a little strange. He just checked his inner body with internal energy, and it didn't look like he had taken a heart-control pill. He just found the color of the inner energy in his dantian. There have been some subtle changes, and there are some guesses and expectations in my heart.

"Perhaps this Heart Control Pill is useless to me." Ye Chen guessed in his heart, in order to avoid disturbing the morale of the army, he only told Zhan Xiongwu about the Heart Control Pill, and the others did not say anything.

The morning light dispelled the mist, and the rising sun brought warmth to the earth. Just as Ye Chen felt a little excited about the rest of his life, he wanted to praise all this. It is the sun that makes life, and the fragile life makes the earth vibrant and exceptional Enchanting, although they are short-lived and fragile, they try their best to bloom their beauty every moment.He was even more grateful for the special nature of his body, and the Heart Control Pill seemed to have no effect on him.But it's just 'as if', and he can't be sure if it's really invalid.This can only be tested by time.

He turned his head and said to the five generals beside him: "It is true that war requires unscrupulous means, and many people will die, but many things can only be resolved through war."

After hearing this, Cao Wei replied: "The general's words are reasonable, so the final general still thinks that it is better to kill two thousand people of the Southern Han Dynasty by mistake than to let one person go."

Ye Chen: "..."

I didn't realize before that Cao Wei has a tendency to be a murderer.It seems that if there are too many wars, people will become cold-blooded and indifferent to human life.

Ye Chen waited for seven days. On May 29, Ye Chen took Luo Yaoshun and other five troops to inspect the military craftsman camp to build siege equipment.

In the south, there are dense forests everywhere, and there is no shortage of materials. After these seven days of rush work, the battle tools for the siege have been made in sevens and eighties.Hundreds of the most commonly used ladder carts for climbing the city and trench bridges for crossing the Hao River have been built.Even the nest car that climbed high and looked far has built two.

In addition, a lot of lead cars used to dig tunnels were built, and they were parked in the workshop one by one.Cao Wei fought many siege battles with Cao Bin in the past few years, and he was familiar with these siege equipment, so he took the trouble to introduce them to Ye Chen one by one, and finally everyone stopped in front of a catapult.

Ye Chen participated in the Jinyang siege battle last year, and now leads the army to siege the city. Not to mention the long-term battle, but he has a lot of experience, and he has seen many siege weapons.But never seen it so close.

Ye Chen looked at this siege vehicle called a catapult, took a closer look, and then frowned. He easily found that there were several unreasonable or incomplete constructions of the catapult. place.

Especially at the front of the throwing pole, dozens of ropes hang down one by one, instead of being tied with stones or heavy objects.

"Why are you dragging so many ropes down?" Ye Chen asked Cao Wei curiously.

Cao Wei raised his hand to pull the rope, and pulled it down hard, and the other end of the throwing pole worn on the beam was pulled up.He smiled at Ye Chen: "These ropes require two or thirty people to pull with all their strength at the same time to throw the stone out, even if the strength is small."

Ye Chen heard his brows getting deeper and deeper, and asked, "Why use human power?"

Cao Wei and the others looked at each other, but they didn't understand Ye Chen's meaning. Luo Yaoshun said with a smile: "What else can we use without people? You can't use animals like cows and horses to pull it!"

"Those beasts are not so obedient. If you don't work hard at the critical moment of the battle, you are not in a hurry to die. Besides, I have always been short of horses and cattle in Song Dynasty, but I still have no shortage of this man." Cao Wei also said.

"That's not what I mean." Ye Chen shook his head, ignoring Luo Yaoshun and the other five who only knew how to fight and didn't understand physics.Instead, he asked all the military craftsmen who built the catapult to be called, and said: "Listen carefully to what I am saying now, and if there is anything you don't understand, please speak up."

Although the military craftsmen didn't know what Ye Chen wanted to say or what he wanted to do, they still respectfully agreed.

Ye Chen straightened his mind and said, "This catapult generally uses the principle of leverage, oh... well! I don't know what the principle of leverage is from the expressions on your faces. I will simply say that this is the person who pulls the rope downwards. , is to make the other end of the throwing pole tilt up, and then throw the stone with the force of the crowd. That is to say, as long as there is a downward force, the rear end of the throwing pole can be quickly lifted, is it necessary to use people? Come and pull, you can achieve the goal of throwing stones."

What Ye Chen said later was easy to understand, and even Luo Yaoshun, Cao Wei, Wang Chao, Zhan Xiongwu, and Yang Yanping understood the craftsmen.

Yang Yanping was thoughtful, and asked for everyone: "What do you think, General?"

"Ben will be thinking, if you don't use human power to pull it, but tie a boulder or other heavy objects, the gravity generated by the weight of the weight itself... um! It's the downward force, and then throw the stone out. "While talking, Ye Chen worried that the craftsmen would not understand, motioned them to approach, drew out his sword casually, and drew the shape of his modified catapult on the ground with a few strokes.

Ye Chen saw that most of the craftsmen were still in a daze, so he continued: "If people can make things by analyzing their principles, they can make the best things of their kind. Let me tell you the principle of this catapult first. After you understand the principle, you should be able to understand why I made such a modification to the catapult."

"Well... I think you have all seen steelyards before. Just imagine, why can a wooden pole with a rope and a weight weigh something? There is also a crowbar. Why can it be done by one person? Can you lift a boulder hundreds of catties?"

Wang Chao was even more puzzled, and couldn't help asking the question in the hearts of many people present: "What does this have to do with the catapult?"

"Their principles are the same." Ye Chen said.
