Chapter 1403 Catapult Blueprint

"Report! Sir, the enemy army is strong and our soldiers have suffered heavy losses!"

"Report! Sir, General Yang Yun died in battle!"

"Report! Sir, our trebuchets have disappeared in large numbers!"

"Report!..."

One after another, messengers appeared in front of Cai Cheng, bringing news one after another from the battlefield. These news made Cai Cheng and the generals around him look increasingly ugly.

Because none of this news is good news, all of it is bad news.

Cai Cheng's face was extremely gloomy. Not long ago, he was full of confidence, and he was also full of confidence in the trebuchet camp. He was just waiting for the enemy to come, and they would annihilate all the people in the future.

Fortunately now, the army in the city did come to destroy the trebuchet as he had guessed before. However, he guessed the beginning, but failed to guess the end. The enemy was coming, but they were not able to stop them. The trebuchet was not well protected. On the contrary, on our own side, not only did the soldiers suffer heavy losses, but more than half of the trebuchet also disappeared inexplicably.

"What the hell is going on? Who can explain to me, where are my trebuchets? Where have they gone?" Cai Cheng roared.

No wonder he was so anxious. This kind of trebuchet was developed not long ago, and even his direct troops were not equipped with enough. As a result, they were reduced by about two-thirds, which was a huge loss.

What made him even more angry was that the people below him didn't know how the trebuchet disappeared. The trebuchet disappeared under their noses, but they didn't know what happened. How could Cai Cheng not be angry?

No one could answer Cai Cheng's question. Those at the scene didn't know what was going on. The generals next to Cai Cheng had been accompanying Cai Cheng just now, so naturally they didn't know what was going on.

"Sir, this trebuchet must not have disappeared for no reason. The general felt that it must have been destroyed or stolen by people in the city. The general of the trebuchet battalion was afraid of being punished, so he made this poor excuse." Among them. A general stood up and said.

"The general also thinks so. How could the trebuchet disappear for no reason? Even the mysterious and powerful people in the demon world cannot do this. The generals on the front line must be lying."

"The general seconded the proposal!"

After one person spoke, others also spoke one after another. In today's rebel camp, everyone has already had their own thoughts. They are no longer as united as before. They all regard each other as competitors. At this time, naturally not May say something nice for others.

In fact, they did not believe that this slingshot opportunity disappeared for no reason.

Cai Cheng's expression did not improve. In fact, his thoughts were similar to those of the generals around him. He himself did not believe that the trebuchets disappeared for no reason. There must be too many trebuchets on the front line, and the generals of the trebuchet battalion were afraid of taking the risk. Responsibility, so he found such an excuse, trying to use this mysterious incident to reduce his punishment.

Cai Cheng knew very well that the current situation was very favorable to them. Many people were already thinking about what would happen after the uprising was successful. If they made a mistake at this time, it would inevitably affect the rewards after the event was completed.

Perhaps it was out of this consideration that the generals of the trebuchet battalion came up with such a bad excuse to avoid being punished by themselves for the heavy losses of trebuchets.

"Report!"

At this time, another messenger came to Cai Cheng and others.

"Tell me! Is there any bad news?" Cai Cheng asked with a cold face.

"Back to my lord, all the invading enemies have been wiped out, and the remaining trebuchets have no longer disappeared inexplicably. General Wu and others asked if they want to take advantage of the situation to counterattack?" said the ordering soldier.

"Counterattack? Attack for what? Let them just wait and see!" Cai Cheng said.

Originally, Cai Cheng was indeed preparing to counterattack when the troops in the city came out to destroy the trebuchet, but the opponent only came out with a small force, and it also caused huge losses to their side. Now, morale is low. , it’s their side, not the army in the city! To counterattack under such circumstances, wouldn’t this be courting death?

"Yes!" The messenger responded and turned back to report the news.

After the messenger left, Cai Cheng's expression improved slightly.

Although there was no way to launch a counterattack, the enemy was finally annihilated and the remaining trebuchets were not damaged. This was still good news.

"Send the order, the remaining trebuchets continue to attack!" Cai Cheng said.

On the other side, Wu Fan had also sneaked back into Fengyu City and put down the trebuchets he had captured one by one in an open place in the city.

Afterwards, Wu Fan found a soldier and asked him to notify Chen Wende to come.

"Sir, these...these..." As soon as Chen Wende arrived, he was shocked by the large number of trebuchets surrounding Wu Fan.

"These trebuchets were seized from the rebels." Wu Fan said, "You should immediately ask someone from the army who knows how to operate a trebuchet to come over."

"Yes." Chen Wende didn't hesitate at all, and his face was excited.

There are many troops in the city, and there is naturally no shortage of people who know how to operate trebuchets. As for the location of the enemy troops outside the city, the people on the top of the city are naturally responsible for providing them.

"General Chen, this is for you. You arrange for someone to build it." While the trebuchet operators were making preparations, Wu Fan handed a stack of paper to Chen Wende and said.

"Sir, what is this?" Chen Wende asked curiously.

"These are the drawings for the improved version of the trebuchets in front of you." Wu Fan said calmly.

During the time he was waiting for Chen Wende, Wu Fan took a quick look at the items he had obtained from the enemy in the city. Most of the items were not good things, just like before, but there was one thing that was good, which was the drawings for the improved version of the trebuchet.

"Really?" Chen Wende looked at the drawings in his hand with joy, and said to Wu Fan with admiration: "Sir, you are so amazing! I admire you so much."

Before, Wu Fan said that he would handle the trebuchet. Chen Wende was a little worried, especially when he knew that Wu Fan did not dispatch any team from the army, he was even more worried. He was not only worried about Wu Fan's safety, but also worried that Wu Fan could not destroy the opponent's trebuchet. If that happened, the wall of Fengyun City would be in trouble, and it was estimated that it would not last long and would be smashed to pieces.

Now, Wu Fan not only successfully seized the opponent's trebuchet, but also got the blueprint. This really convinced Chen Wende, and he admired Wu Fan's ability from the bottom of his heart.

As for how Wu Fan did all this and how he transported these huge trebuchets back to the city, Chen Wende didn't think much about it. Wu Fan could even get a legendary thing like a teleportation array, so it was not impossible to use some special methods to transport these trebuchets back to the city. Soldiers could be sent from thousands of miles away, so these trebuchets could naturally be sent to the city.
