Si Guo, the tall and majestic Panlong Pass, Qian Xiaoxing, Lu Shengzhong and Si Wang came to inspect the city wall. The three-story arrow tower had been completed. More than twenty powerful crossbows were placed on the highest floor. The lower floor was the bow and arrow shooting mouth, and the lower floor was the attack mouth of turmeric oil and rolling stone wood. Si Wang held the city wall made of cement and nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, very good. Panlong Pass has these three-story arrow towers, and no matter how many Hu troops have, they can't break through it."

After hearing this, Lu Shengzhong was very pleased and said, "King Si, not only that, there are many catapults on the two peaks next to him. Let's go up and take a look?"

"Oh? There is also a catapult, let's go and have a look." Then the three of them climbed along the rugged mountain road to the top of the mountain. There were ropes tied to the edges in the steep place. Everyone held the ropes and climbed for a long time before reaching the top of the peak.

On the top of the peak, a platform the size of a basketball court was sorted out, with eight catapults in a row, each catapulted about seven or eight meters. Si Wang carefully studied the catapult and asked, "This thing is a catapult, how to cast a stone?"

Lu Shengzhong didn't explain, waved his hand and called a group of people. About ten people ordered: "You try to cast a flying stone in the sky to King Si to see it, and the target area No. 8."

I saw that on the flat ground in front of Panlong Pass, Qian Xiaoxing had someone painted a grid of five times five with lime. The area of ​​each grid was as big as a blue court, and numbers were also written in it, namely one, two, three to twenty-five. The area No. 8 that Lu Shengzhong mentioned just now was the grid of eight.

"Yes!" Everyone lined up, and the two of them moved a big stone to the arm throwing mouth. Then more than ten people held the rope in their hands, and one of them issued an order: "Take it!"

More than a dozen people pulled the rope hard, and one end of the throwing arm was pulled down, and the one end of the stone was raised upward. After the throwing arm quickly drew a quarter circle, the stone in the air drew a parabola and rolled forward. Although the throwing force was not very strong, because the mountain was high, the stone flew in the air for a long time before it landed on the ground in the distance and accurately hit the area No. 8.

Everyone stared at the stones in the air, and they didn't make a sound in surprise until they landed. King Si clapped and said, "Okay, you can shoot so far and you can shoot very accurately. This catapult car is good."

Qian Xiaoxing looked at it and saw that the distance was at least three or four hundred meters, which met the original design requirements. However, after thinking about it, he said, "Brother Zhong, what would the effect be if this stone was replaced with a tinder tank?"

"Tube oil tank?" Lu Shengzhong was surprised when he heard this and smiled, "We call this stone Tianwai Feishi. I think this tincture oil tank can be called Tianwai Feihuo, and Hu Jun can drink a pot."

Qian Xiaoxing replied: "Well, immediately develop a tincture oil tank suitable for launch, and hit the fire that the target requires the largest area."

Then Qian Xiaoxing ordered the stone-tree team to strengthen training, asking them to call them and fight them to minimize errors. For the throwing of tinder tanks, the training should be strengthened as soon as possible.

The three of them climbed down to the top of the peak and came to the pass. A soldier came to report: "Chief of Staff, someone said he came from Shandu and pointed out that he wanted to see you."

Qian Xiaoxing was a little confused when he heard this. No one knew him except Ling Yi and his sisters in Shan. Could it be that they were sent by them, and immediately said, "Where are people, bring them to see."

After a while, the soldier brought the person to Qian Xiaoxing. Qian Xiaoxing looked at the man who was about thirty years old and had a strong face. Seeing that he was dusty and looked tired, it seemed that he was rushing all the way. However, he had never seen this man before and asked in confusion: "Who are you, why do you want to see me?"

The man replied expressionlessly: "Cao Bo is here to deliver the letter on my master's order."

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing muttered: "Cao Bo, I don't remember, who is your master?"

Cao Bo took out a cylinder from his arms and replied, "Master, don't let me say that this is a letter written to you by my master. The letter has been delivered, so I will say goodbye now."

Qian Xiaoxing took the cylinder, and before he could react, Cao Bo had already led the horse and rode it on, and waved his whip and left.

Who was writing a letter? Seeing that he was unwilling to say that it must be Ling Yi and his sister, he untied the lid of the cylinder and pulled out a piece of white silk from it. A few lines of small words were written on the white silk. Qian Xiaoxing read it carefully: "The Hu army gathered 80,000 elite troops and set off from Shandu on April 13. He led the general Hu Baojin, the second prince of Hu. He has little experience in leading troops. His deputy general Chen Xuan has a steady personality and many experience in leading troops. Please be prepared to fight the enemy."

Qian Xiaoxing was surprised after reading it. Not only did he write about the intelligence, but he wrote the character of the people who led the troops very carefully. For them, this information was very important. He said in confusion: "Will Si Guo still have an undercover agent in Shanshan?"

King Si shook his head and replied, "It's impossible. Who else in Shanduli will help us? And this person is looking for you by name. If he is from our country, he should look for me."

"Seventh brother, will it be a fraud? Hu Guo deliberately gave us false information to confuse us?" Lu Shengzhong asked worriedly.

Qian Xiaoxing also thought about it when he heard this. If there was a fraud, then there must be a master in Hu's country planning and designing a conspiracy. But what is the purpose of sending a fake intelligence? Confusing the troops? Or confusing the time of the war? He couldn't figure it out for a moment and replied: "Save this information first, and then see if our own intelligence network obtains the information."

After hearing this, King Si and Lu Shengzhong felt that he could only deal with it in this way. Since the person who sent the information was so mysterious, it was no mistake to be more careful. The authenticity of this military situation could not be tolerated by any carelessness.

Qian Xiaoxing put the white silk back into the cylinder and kept thinking, who gave such important information? After guessing for a long time, he shook his head helplessly.

The next day, Qian Xiaoxing was still burying his head to eat, Lu Shengzhong hurried over, holding a piece of paper in his hand and said, "Seventh brother, the Mo brothers and others have just sent information, please take a look."

Qian Xiaoxing put down the bowls and chopsticks and took the paper and looked at it. The paper said: On April 13, Hu Jun assembled 80,000 troops to head towards Panlong Pass.

After watching Qian Xiaoxing, Lu Shengzhong said, "The information sent yesterday is consistent with our own information. It seems that the information is still reliable."

Qian Xiaoxing also nodded and said, "Our own intelligence network seems not strong enough, and even the chief general and deputy general of the army cannot find out. It seems that the intelligence network will still be strengthened in the future."

Lu Shengzhong replied: "Seventh brother, but you are still thoughtful. You have already arranged this intelligence network. Otherwise, if we don't know such important military information, we will be very passive."

"Now I know, but it's hard to deal with it. Hu actually sent 80,000 elite troops, which makes us look at us." Qian Xiaoxing saw the 80,000 two-digit words on the paper, pressing his heart like a huge rock, and was very worried.

Lu Shengzhong said confidently: "Eighty thousand is nothing. Even if he comes 180,000, he will not even want to take away Panlong Pass. Although our Si State is poor, we are united. Even if we fight for the lives of the people of the whole country, we must keep it."
