Peony Overlord [Rebirth]

A good night's sleep, Chu Xinle's sleep on this bed was the best in two years. He didn't have any dreams, and he could even endure the darkness in the tent. This was the first time that he could sleep without Xing Yanhong. Sleep peacefully in the dark, but ease is but a blink of an eye.

He had observed carefully at the south gate yesterday, and the city wall of Jiuyuan was not as high as that built by Yandu, or because it was all wasteland, the city wall of Jiuyuan was the lowest among the seven continents of the Central Plains, so if he was not careful, he would Chu Xinle also wanted to change the ballista that was able to be attacked by the barbarians and confiscated yesterday.

He woke up early, and when he opened the tent, he realized that he was the last one to wake up. Xing Yingjun was practicing not far from the tent. They didn't roar, but the sound of the long knife cutting through the cold wind penetrated into Chu Xinle in the ears.

Chu Xinle's sense of alienation seemed to be stronger. The tents where Yi Anjun was staying were still tightly closed, and they hadn't gotten up yet.

Seeing the weather, Liu Tainiu and the others should be here too, Chu Xinle took the handkerchief handed over by his servants and wiped his face, saw Xing Yanhong from the neat army in the distance, and walked over.

Xing Yanhong is looking at the moves Xing Yingjun has learned in the past two years and urging them to train. After all, Xing Yanping is old and Xing Lingjun is injured. This heavy burden naturally falls on Xing Yanhong. Nan Qian went back to Jiuyuan to take over this burden.

"Why don't you sleep more?" Xing Yanhong raised his hand naturally when he saw someone approaching, and Chu Xinle put his hand in his palm, which was held by Xing Yanhong to warm him.

Chu Xinle looked at Xing Yingjun who was not looking sideways, and said, "Without Boluan by my side, I can't sleep well."

Xing Yanhong leaned over and scratched the tip of Chu Xinle's nose, and said, "Then shall I accompany you back to sleep?"

"Farewell, you'd better just stay here and stare." Chu Xinle yawned, looked at Xing Yanping who was coming out of the tent not far away, and said, "I'm afraid of my father-in-law."

Chu Xinle just flirted with Xing Yanhong, not knowing that Xing Yanhong had already told Xing Yanping and Xing Lingjun about the two of them. Seeing his appearance, Xing Yanhong withdrew his hand with a suppressed smile, and comforted him: "What are you afraid of, Sanlang? Here it is."

Chu Xinle gave him a supercilious look.

When Xing Yanping opened the tent, he had already seen the two of them. He walked over calmly, accepted Chu Xinle's salute, and said a little bluntly: "From now on, Jun'er and I don't need to salute anymore. We nine I didn't care about these etiquettes."

Chu Xinle nodded in response.

"I looked at the southern city wall, it's too short." Chu Xinle said as they walked a few steps not far away.

Xing Yanping was a little surprised, he didn't expect Chu Xinle to be able to discover the disadvantages of Jiuyuan on the first day, and he admired this person a little more from the bottom of his heart, and said: "Yes, the city wall of Jiuyuan is too big. Short, the enemy's attack is really not clear, this is undoubtedly the most deadly point."

"Father hasn't figured out a way yet?" Xing Yanhong asked.

Undoubtedly, it caused Xing Yanping to roll his eyes. The anger last night has not subsided, and he was angry with him again this morning, and said angrily: "Do you think it can be done in just two years? Little bastard, you can do it if you want." !"

Xing Yanhong kept his mouth shut.

Chu Xin was happy to see the father and son fighting against each other, chuckled lightly, and said, "I have ordered Liu Tainiu to bring over the trebuchets and crossbow carts left by the barbarian army's siege yesterday, and it seems that the time will come."

Xing Yanping didn't know, so he looked at Xing Yanhong and asked, "Siege weapons?"

Although he only said four words, the meaning was clear. They were talking about the city wall, which was a way to defend the city, and siege weapons were useless after all.

Maybe it's been too long, Xing Yanping and Xing Yanhong have somewhat forgotten what the Chu family is best at. No one has been able to break the Chu family's organs so far. Even the bandits who occupied Qinchuan couldn't enter the Chu family, so they had to find another place. .

"Attack and defense are always inseparable, and siege weapons can naturally become defensive weapons." Chu Xinle looked at the not-so-high city wall in the distance. The flags flying above were eagles with wings spread, and several golden eagles were circling in the blue sky , Ah Fei was running with the other two wolves on the grass under the city wall in the distance.

A few people chatted for a while, and then someone came to pass that a strong man led 1000 people to push the catapult and ballista, and Xing Yanhong took Chu Xinle to pick him up.

Liu Tainiu brought the thousand Yi'an troops that Chu Xinle had placed at the south gate to join them. When they arrived, the rest of the Yi'an troops had already started up one after another. They were chatting and joking like brothers. Compared with the disciplined Xing Yingjun, he looked much more lazy.

And Chu Xinle asked someone to pull the equipment to the large open space under the city wall, and started to study there. Chen Fan became his assistant. Besides, there was Yi Anjun arranged by Liu Tainiu to guard him every day. Do not allow others to come near.

Xing Yanhong knew Chu Xinle's character well, he could ignore everything when he was serious, and stayed up late every night before going back to the tent. Xing Yanhong couldn't bear to see Chu Xinle suffer like this, but he couldn't persuade him to go to sleep, so he had to stay up with him. But Xing Yanhong didn't wait beside Chu Xinle, he was afraid of affecting Chu Xinle, so he waited outside the tent every day, turned on a light, and when the time was calculated, he went out of the tent to pick up Chu Xinle who was walking back.

Chu Xinle has become thinner these days, and the cloak on his body has obviously gotten bigger. When he saw Xing Yanhong approaching, he held hands with him. Xing Yanhong took a lantern, and the two walked slowly towards the tent.

After midnight, except for some patrol soldiers, the whole of Jiuyuan seemed to be immersed in sleep, and the cold mist began to pervade again. Chu Xinle looked up to the north, and the outline of the towering Chiyan Mountain was blurred, hidden in the mist , leaving only a jagged silhouette.

Xing Yanhong also followed Chu Xinle's gaze.

"That's our sacred mountain in Jiuyuan. The north is full of flames and the south is open to the sky. These two mountains sit on the north and south and look at each other, giving Jiuyuan enough confidence. The barbarians can't come from the northwest and southwest." Xing Yanhong took a long breath, The flames shone in his dark eyes, and the moon above Chiyan Mountain was extraordinarily round tonight.

"I, I have too much desire and too little awe." Xing Yanhong smiled self-deprecatingly, and turned his head to look down at Chu Xinle.

Chu Xinle turned her eyes back from Chiyan Mountain, and looked at Xing Yanhong: "These two gods are protecting Jiuyuan and Xing's family. We have to fight hard. The barbarians can't attack from the west. The city gates in the north and south can only rely on us. In a few days, Bo Luan, those siege weapons will become the best defensive equipment. One person? I want my Boluan to spread its wings to the sky."

Two days later, Chu Xinle finally completed the modification of the equipment. Under the watchful eyes of Xing Yanping and Xing Lingjun, he ordered Liu Tainiu and Chenfan to push them out, and then smiled at Xing Yanhong.

"This is called a shooting machine, and it's very useful when placed on the city wall." Chu Xinle explained the uses of these devices to them one by one.

Chu Xinle perfectly demonstrated the Chu family's mechanism skills that she had learned on these equipment. The trebuchet became the current transponder, a large transmitter that can be placed on the city wall. The captain is six feet long and consists of two Manipulate and occupy the commanding heights of the city wall. With it, you can clearly see the enemy's military strength and the weapons they are equipped with, and even share the siege weapons brought by the enemy. Optimizing the counterattack position and where to shoot the arrow can cause massive damage to the barbarian army.

After he finished talking about the launcher, he pointed to the ballista beside him. Compared with the launcher, the ballista has not been modified much, but there were only four arrow slots on the original car, but after Chu Xinle's improvement, the arrow slots became six. Ten, that is to say, can shoot sixty long arrows in one breath, which can play a major role in places where the main force of the barbarian army gathers.

"Only shoot four arrows at a time," Chu Xinle raised her eyebrows slightly, then shook her head and said, "Too few." When Chu Songcun and Chu Tianling taught him to make organs.

The audience was silent, some soldiers were dumbfounded, and even Chen Fan was stunned, but his reaction was not as strong as Liu Tainiu's. Liu Tainiu kept his mouth open until Chen Fan saw him drooling. When he was about to flow down, he raised his elbow to hit him. Liu Tainiu was so shocked that he finally came back to his senses, proudly pouted his chin at Chen Fan, and said, "Did you see, my master?" After saying that, he gave a thumbs up : "Fucking cow!"

Chen Fan slapped his hand and rolled his eyes, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said calmly, "This is my master."

Liu Tainiu was immersed in the pride of being Chu Xinle's subordinate, but he didn't realize for a moment that he was slapped by Chenfan. He blew on his red fingers distressedly, and argued with Chenfan: "That's me too." master."

Although Chenfan is young, his mind is more mature than Liu Tainiu's. He used to be unwilling to argue with him, thinking that it was a childish behavior between children. Niu Zong said: "I was the one who worked my life for the master first."

"If it weren't for me, would you have survived that long in the woods that winter night? I, Liu Tainiu, also tried my best to protect my master." Liu Tainiu was not to be outdone.

When it comes to working hard, Chenfan also has a lot of words: "When you were leading troops on the mountain, I was running errands for my master, licking blood with the tip of a knife."

"Where did I lead the troops on the mountain?" Liu Tainiu retorted: "I was practicing Yi Anjun for the master, and I couldn't sleep a night!"

"You..." Chen Fan still wanted to say something more, so he looked at Chu Xinle in front of him warningly.

Liu Tainiu didn't know what happened. He was so noisy that Xingtou suddenly lost his voice. Seeing Chenfan pursed his lips, he followed Chenfan's eyes and saw his master's black face and him trembling. For a moment, cold sweat broke out, and he bowed his head not to make noise with the world.

No one noticed the two of them in the bustling surroundings, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the equipment beside Chu Xinle.

Liu Tainiu was silent for a while but still couldn't hold it back. He bumped into Xing Yingjun, whom he didn't know, and said, "My master, you are amazing."

However, it caused another blank stare.

"Sir, you really have a thoughtful mind. However, our Xing Yingjun has never used these equipment, who knows if they are really useful?" A person who looked like Xing Yingjun in the crowd said boldly.

This sound seemed to open the conversation, and someone asked again: "That's right! These things can only be used to defend the city. If those barbarians run away, can we still chase them?"

The question was louder than that, and the surrounding Yi Anjun couldn't bear to argue for their master. As soon as Liu Tainiu opened his mouth, Chu Xinle said calmly: "You are all fierce generals, and you are good boys from Jiuyuan, but I have said from the very beginning that these two instruments are only for defending the city, they can make up for the shortcoming of the Jiuyuan city wall and give full play to all its advantages."

The audience fell silent, and they looked at each other.

"As for whether it's useful or not." Chu Xinle smiled, "You'll know if you try it."

The author has something to say: I don’t know if it’s because there are too many things at the end of the term, and the hand feeling is unprecedentedly bad. Kavin’s card is almost collapsed, and it’s about to start finishing. I feel that my heart is not working well at night. I try to update it at six o'clock every day! If I don't update it, I will hang up the leave note, and I won't cheat! Usually it will be updated at six o'clock every day. If I really ask for leave, it may be because I stayed up all night. Didn't finish that chapter T﹏T
