Less than an hour left!

After confirming the military authority, Chen Ze did not delay and hurriedly left the military aircraft office with other generals.

On the other hand, Mr. Jing seemed to have given Chen Ze full authority to handle everything, and he didn't even go downstairs.

Be it Cao Lang or the goatee-bearded counselor, once they acquiesced to Chen Ze to take charge of the military, they, including his disciple Suisheng, were all assigned to the Xiyun garrison, and Chen Ze had the right to mobilize them directly with the military aircraft warrant.

After getting out of the door, Chen Ze thought for a while and asked Cao Lang and others to take his disciples and followers, a total of more than 300 people, to the southeast gates respectively.

The terrain of Xiyun City is quite high, and there are only three gates in the east, west and south. The east gate leads to Bo'an City, the south gate leads to Qiu Ding City, and the west gate faces the poisonous fog forest and is currently the gate with the heaviest defensive pressure.

.

As for the north, there is a steep cliff, and a thick city wall has been built along the cliff. I am not afraid that someone will take the opportunity to touch it.

It is said that the private soldiers of Cao Lang and others have experienced battles and are far stronger than the new and weak soldiers of Xiyun City, but Chen Ze still assigned them to the two southeastern gates.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to use it, it’s that he doesn’t dare to use it!

When marching and fighting, there are strict orders and prohibitions, just like when he went to the barracks with a military plane token just now. Once he had the order in hand, the soldiers did what he told them to do, and no one raised any objections.

But private soldiers are different.

Private soldiers all have their own masters, and orders have to be passed through Cao Lang and others again. Although everyone has implicitly accepted Chen Ze as the commander, how convinced are they in their hearts?

I'm afraid I won't see it.

More importantly, I should consider myself and let Chen Ze, a stupid young man, jump out and take the blame.

In this case, if Chen Ze's order makes Cao Lang and others feel that their interests are harmed, how can they implement it seriously?

Even if you don't refute it on the spot, it's still a double act.

If that's the case, it's better not to use it.

As for Cao Lang and others, they were happy that Chen Ze assigned them idle positions. After all, after accepting the recruitment, they would have guaranteed military merit. What's wrong with just lying around and earning military merit?

If there is an eventuality and the situation goes bad, it would be easier to run away, wouldn't it?

So everyone had their own secrets, and everyone was polite on the surface. As soon as they left the military aircraft, they called on their disciples to follow them down the two southeast gates, leaving only Chen Ze standing alone on the street.

.

Li Quanan and others who had gone to the post house first also settled down at this time, and hurried over to meet Chen Ze. Under the leadership of Chen Ze, they rode towards the west gate.

There were no traces of people on the street, and Xiyun City was not big. After only a quarter of an hour of galloping, everyone had arrived at the city gate.

The closer you get to the city gate, the more people there are. They are all soldiers who were sent here first by Chen Ze. They are now nervously carrying supplies for city defense to the top of the city gate.

Weapons, arrows, stone bullets, rolling logs, asphalt, and all kinds of ordnance were moved out from the armaments warehouse under the city wall. Because they were responsible for guarding the Poisonous Mist Forest, these reserves were quite abundant.

Chen Ze couldn't help but be stunned as he watched the soldiers carry the stone bullets, which weighed thirty or forty kilograms, to the tower with great difficulty.

There are catapults for siege and trebuchets for defense.

However, Xiyun City is not big, so the city wall is naturally short, and there are only five trebuchets set up on the city gate tower.

It's not that I don't want to build more, it's just that this thing is too big and the city wall is narrow. If you add a trebuchet, you have to pile up more stone bombs. In addition, each trebuchet requires dozens of people to pull and launch it, making it even more crowded.

Due to helplessness, five trebuchets were the limit that the West Gate could erect.

"You guys wait a moment and move other things!"

After looking around, Chen Ze got off his horse and shouted to the soldiers who were still struggling to carry the stone bullets.

The soldiers were stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Ze blankly.

"This... Mr. Counselor."

The soldier commander who was directing the transportation saw him and quickly stepped forward, looked at the badge on Chen Ze's chest emphatically, and asked doubtfully: "Excuse me, are you..."

He is the leader of the Xiyun City Defense Force. When Chen Ze went to the barracks, he was still patrolling the city, so the two of them had never met.

"I don't know what to call it?"

Chen Ze directly took out the military aircraft token and asked at the same time.

"Young man Xu Qing, what are your orders?"

Acknowledging the order but not the person, as soon as the other party took out the military plane token, the soldier commander immediately straightened up.

"Xu Qing, right? I want to ask..." Chen Ze pointed to the trebuchet on the tower, "How many more of these trebuchets are there?"

"yes!"

Xu Qing said, "These are heavy trebuchets. They are not easy to make and carry. That's why apart from the five on the tower at the west city gate, there are only two in the warehouse for backup, and there are seven in total!"

"Seven?"

Chen Ze frowned and thought for a while, "What about the southeast sides?"

"there?"

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment and said: "The city walls on both sides are narrower, so there are four and one for each, making a total of ten."

"How's the range?"

Chen Ze asked again.

His previous life had already entered the era of technological war, and his knowledge of trebuchets was limited to books. Moreover, there are many types of trebuchets, and the ancient ones from China and foreign countries are also very different, let alone this remote alien continent. Therefore, there is such a thing

Just ask.

Xu Qing did not show any impatience with this common-sense question and answered meticulously: "If you throw on the ground, it is a hundred steps. From a high position on the tower, the furthest can reach 150 steps!"

One hundred steps is almost one hundred meters.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ze looked at the city wall. After making a mental calculation, he told Xu Qing: "In this way, the spare ones will be shipped from the south city gate. The east city gate will have the least pressure. You can go to the city tower to dismantle one more and add more."

The spare one will also be shipped."

"So there will be ten trebuchets here, which is barely enough!"

"this……"

When Xu Qing heard this, he suddenly looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Sir, although the trebuchet is powerful, we can't fit it on the tower. If we force it to be installed, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive!"

Chen Ze nodded and said: "Well, the trebuchet is indeed too big, so you order another team of people to go up and dismantle the five ones above."

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Qing's eyes widened and he looked at Chen Ze in disbelief, fearing that he had heard wrongly.

"I said, dismantle the five planes on top as well."

Chen Ze repeated.

"Sir! This is absolutely impossible!"

Xu Qing stopped him urgently: "Without the trebuchet, how can we defend the city?"

There is another complaint in my mind that I haven’t said yet: I have to move somewhere else, and I have to tear down the existing one. This is not something that can be sustained after being full!

"Why are you such a mother-in-law? You do whatever my elder brother says!"

Meng Yang next to him became impatient. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward to teach Xu Qing what execution of orders meant, but Chen Ze stopped him in time.

At the same time, he said warmly: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements, just do it!"

As he spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally revealed the military aircraft token in front of Xu Qing's eyes.

"this……"

Xu Qing hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I will send someone to do it now."

At this moment, the muffled trumpet sound sounded loudly on the tower, and everyone's expressions changed drastically at the same time.
