Gaowancheng.

Li Mu stood calmly on a high platform that had just been built not long ago, staring at Gao Wancheng in front of him.

It has been a month since the city siege, but it seems that the Qi army in Gaowan City shows no sign of giving up resistance.

On the contrary, under the leadership of Tian Fen, the Qi people did show the combat effectiveness that the Qi people had never shown in the past few decades.

When fighting is almost the same as war, when the combat powers of the two sides are almost different, very subjective things like will will play a very important role.

At this moment, Li Mu was watching the Zhao soldiers under his command running towards the city wall, and then kept paying his young lives under the city.

To be honest, since seeing the power of the sky-shaking thunder and grenades, Li Mu began to resist from the bottom of his heart that the combat method that is now being staged in front of him can be called a primitive and backward way of combat.

Why do you have to pay so much life under this damn, extremely heavy city wall before you can enter the next stage of the siege?

"No, you can't continue like this." Li Mu shook his head and said to the master Zhao State beside him: "Are you ready? If you are ready, then you can start now."

The master craftsman of Zhao responded very respectfully, then hurriedly ran off the platform and walked towards the trencher position hundreds of steps away.

After these days, using stone bullets of equivalent weight for test firing, the Zhao army's craftsmen have initially grasped the distance, angle and landing time.

Today is the time when the Zhao army's catapult troops try to baptize Gao Wancheng for the first time.

Among the hundreds of scattered scatterers lined up, ten scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered scattered sca

The reason for this is that the distance between these ten trenchers is at least more than 100 steps from other trenchers, and each of these trenchers is about thirty steps away.

In addition, the prisoners of Zhao State were also responsible for projecting and loading these trenchers, rather than the craftsmen and infantry of Zhao State.

Of course, this is due to safety needs. After all, there are no soldier's death in Li Mu's heart.

Although Li Mu is not a believer of the Legalists, he still agrees with the Legalists' concepts.

These prisoners have been shooting very hard these days. Although they don’t know why they didn’t shoot those huge rocks worth hundreds of kilograms but only some “small stones” weighing only ten or twenty kilograms, they still obeyed the instructions of the Zhao craftsmen and tried hard to show themselves.

This is because Li Mu had made a promise in advance that once this test shot is successful, all of these prisoners can receive the first level of beheading.

This credit will help these prisoners escape from crime and make them become civilians in Zhao again!

This is definitely a great thing for these prisoners to dream of, and the world is filled with pie.

You should know that if these prisoners cannot escape from this war, then their outcome will be very tragic. It is almost destined to serve hard labor until death for life.

Before this, the worst person in hard work was undoubtedly being sent to build the Great Wall, but now it is not.

Because now everyone knows that the Monan grassland has been completely included in the sphere of influence of Zhao and has become the territory of Zhao. Since this is the case, it will be unnecessary to continue to build the Great Wall.

However, the suspension of the Great Wall does not mean that these hard-working prisoners will be relaxed. On the contrary, the migration direction of all the hard-working prisoners in Zhao State has changed from the Great Wall to the north to the Hexi Corridor to the west and the Hehuang land!

Hexi is a place mixed with mountains, grasslands, hills, deserts, Gobi and other places that you can imagine, and the Hehuang land is filled with barbaric Qiang and Hu people.

Moreover, these two places are at least several thousand miles away from the Central Plains of Zhao, which is even more remote and farther than the Great Wall in the north of Zhao!

Compared with these two places, the matter of going thousands of miles away to build the Great Wall suddenly seemed less cruel.

Therefore, if you don’t want to be sent to the northwest thousands of miles away to accompany the Qiang and Hu people, these prisoners must show off themselves well, strive to be able to relieve themselves of their guilt through their performance and become a new person!

Next to the cross trenchers, ten dark jars have been placed, and are not eye-catching next to a pile of stones.

All of these jars were sealed, but if you look closely, you can still find that there seemed to be a layer of black slag like soil near the mouth of the jar.

In addition, there was a long fuse that stretched out from the jar. This was the new weapon made by the military craftsmen of Zhao State at the request of Li Mu. The "gunpowder bullet" was born to shoot.

The master carefully checked the cross trenchers, then checked ten gunpowder cans on the side. After everything was confirmed, he nodded and said to a prisoner whom he had chosen to be the commander of these trenchers: "Wait later, you will start immediately. Do you understand?"

The prisoner nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, we can save everything."

"Be careful, if it explodes, your life will be unsafe!" The master warned him and then left quickly.

This was Li Mu's order. After seeing the power of these explosives, Li Mu had regarded these craftsmen who could manipulate the thunder as treasures and did not allow them to take any adventures at all.

The master returned to a trench that had just been dug out for a few days, and poked his head out to the prisoners in front of him, "Countdown to the end, start!"

"Three, two, one!" The prisoner counted down loudly, and then began to wave a small red flag in his hand.

Thirty prisoners stood beside the cross-spreading carts. Hearing this, he immediately put the gunpowder jar carefully into the basket.

"Ignite the fuse! Count down dozens of sounds, tens, nines...two, one, launch!"

Under the order of the hundreds of prisoners, the prisoners of Zhao, next to the ten thiefs, ignited the fuses with all their might, and then smashed them hard at the trigger when the last sound fell.

After ten consecutive intensive sounds of the mechanical skulls, ten burning gunpowder jars were thrown to the far end of Gaowan city.

Li Mu stared at these gunpowder jars, his eyes full of expectations.
