Chapter 83: Thunderbolt Car Tries to Attack the City
"A thief?"
Before Xue Biao realized what the other party meant, seeing the two Zhang brothers about to leave, he subconsciously stood up to stop them.
"You two heroes, stay here!"
Seeing Xue Biao's actions, Zhang Heng chuckled and said, "My boss, your body can't stop me and my brothers."
Hearing this, Xue Biao couldn't help crying or laughing. He cupped his hands and said, "You two heroes have misunderstood. Let me hear someone's explanation in detail."
When brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun heard what Xue Biao said, they couldn't help but look at each other and stopped their movements.
Then just listen to what he has to say before leaving.
...
"Today is the twenty-eighth day that the White Lotus Sect thieves gathered in Xianping City."
Lin Chen looked at the misty morning light seeping in from outside the military tent, and thought in his heart.
It had been many days since he arrived with his army.
There is only half a tenth of food left in the army.
On the other hand, in Xianping City, there were no riots caused by lack of food.
"Ha." Lin Chen felt a cold feeling in his heart.
From this point of view, Xianping City does have a stable food supply channel.
Just as Lin Chen's thoughts were drifting away, his six senses sensed a slight noise outside the tent.
"Um?"
Lin Chen stood up and walked closer to check.
But he saw a figure walking in cautiously.
He was holding a wooden basin in his hand, filled with warm water that was still radiating heat.
The person who came was none other than Lin Shiyin.
Lin Shiyin walked in quietly, her cheeks were reddish, and she was obviously a little nervous.
But he didn't want to look at Lin Chen.
"Hmm~"
Lin Shiyin's bright eyes widened, and there was a hint of disbelief on her beautiful face.
When Lin Chen saw this, he subconsciously glanced at the ghost mask on the desk.
have to.
This was the first time Lin Shiyin saw his true face with her own eyes.
"General, general?"
"it's me."
Lin Chen rubbed his brows with a headache and motioned to Lin Shiyin to put down the basin.
"Just leave this kind of thing to my personal guards."
"But...but shouldn't the maid do this kind of thing?"
"You are a female medical officer now, not a maid."
Lin Chen looked at Lin Shiyin, who had already sat down beside him, with a flash of helplessness in his eyes.
Lin Shiyin seemed to have not heard the words and was about to put the wrung out cotton cloth towards Lin Chen's face.
I can tell.
Lin Shiyin was born as a eldest lady. Although she was not a clean slate, her way of serving others was indeed a bit unfamiliar.
"I'll do it myself." Lin Chen avoided those white and tender hands, with some resistance on his face.
He was very uncomfortable with this kind of feudal custom.
"Please let me come!" Lin Shiyin's tone became firm.
Lin Chen:......
He could only close his eyes and feel the softness and delicacy that belonged only to women.
No wonder they say feudal bad habits corrode people.
Lin Chen said that was right.
It’s hard to believe how extravagant the lives of the princes and nobles were led by many maids and servants to wash and change clothes.
Lin Chen, who closed his eyes, didn't notice.
When Lin Shiyin's fingertips brushed against his cheek, the blush on his face became more and more conspicuous, making the girl feel a little distracted.
"ah!"
But don't want to.
Lin Chen heard a panicked cry from Lin Shiyin in front of him, and the sound of the water basin being accidentally knocked over.
Um?
Lin Chen opened his eyes to see what was happening.
But the slender body that fell on him in a daze, with its majestic softness and a hint of warmth, came into close contact with Lin Chen's face.
The delicious rouge fragrance that penetrated the tip of Lin Chen's nose was vaguely milky.
The atmosphere in the account became pleasant.
】
only.
Lin Chen helped Lin Shiyin stand up, not looking at the embarrassment and disappointment on her face. Looking at the mess in the military tent, he couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"General?!" Yang Wulang heard the movement and rushed in with a gun and armor.
But looking at the scene in front of him, the latter's nervous face froze, he lowered his head as if he didn't see anything, turned around and retreated.
Lin Shiyin, who was stirring her little hands together, felt very uneasy. She was still complaining in her heart about why she was so rough and unable to do even the smallest things well.
"It's okay. You can go out first. I'll clean up here later."
Lin Chen's voice sounded quite peaceful.
"yes."
Lin Shiyin looked frustrated and walked out of the military tent with her head lowered.
After she left, Lin Chen took a look at the water stains on the ground.
Lin Chen waved his hand, and the hot inner energy of Yu Yang's mind emerged.
Evaporate these water stains instantly.
I have to say, this internal force is really useful.
Quite true.
Lin Chen thought of the previous touch, and there was something strange in his eyes.
Lin Shiyin's body didn't look up and down. Could it be that her chest was wrapped?
but.
Lin Chen suddenly realized that he was not wearing any outer clothes just now, only the white inner clothes he was wearing next to his body.
In particular, the opening in front of the body is quite large, exposing the muscles and shoulder blades that extend to the abdomen.
When Lin Chen thought of something, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
No wonder Lin Shiyin suddenly lost her mind and made a mistake just now.
Unexpectedly, it was Lin Shiyin who was lusting after him!
Lin Chen put these irrelevant thoughts out of his mind and just put on his clothes and walked out of the military tent.
The camp was already bustling with activity, and the aroma of the food was spreading.
Although Lin Chen had never learned the art of war, he also knew that he had to eat and live with the soldiers, and he could win over the soldiers' willingness to die.
After breakfast.
Mu Guiying was ordered to lead 10,000 soldiers to challenge the enemy at the foot of Xianping City.
This was what Lin Chen had to do every day during this period of time.
However.
The White Lotus thieves in Xianping City were like turtles who did not move.
"General, the Thunderbolt Chariot has been built!"
At this time, Wei Cheng came over excitedly to report the good news.
The so-called Thunderbolt Chariot is a catapult.
In order to paralyze the eyes and ears of the White Lotus thieves in Xianping City, Lin Chen also cut down trees around the military camp and built siege equipment.
However, the White Lotus thieves had cut down all the trees around Xianping City before, playing a game of clearing the fields.
As a last resort, the soldiers could only go to farther places to find wood, so it took so many days to build the catapult.
"Oh?" Lin Chen became interested after hearing what Wei Cheng said.
When the ten catapults were pushed to a distance of 800 steps outside Xianping City.
The White Lotus thieves on the wall of Xianping City just had some reaction.
The two sides seemed to be at peace these days. Are they finally going to start attacking the city today?
"Fire!"
Lin Chen watched several strong men put several stones about the size of a human head into the catapult basket.
Just listen to the order.
Whoosh!
Dozens of stones were thrown towards the wall of Xianping, falling like raindrops.
However.
This result is really unsatisfactory.
Lin Chen saw that only a few stones fell on the wall, smashing the heads of several White Lotus soldiers.
The rest were all gone.
The stones that hit the wall also splashed a little smoke and dust.
Seeing this result, Lin Chen couldn't help shaking his head.
You should know that there are records of catapults in the ancient Three Kingdoms period, but there is no mention of how much help it can provide for sieges.
Because this thing wants to kill and injure the soldiers defending the city, it all depends on luck.
Of course.
It may also be because the catapults in Lin Chen's army are too simple.
