"The commander, everyone has been taken down, and there is no living!"

Situ En's personal soldiers reported to him.

"Have you told you to try to keep a living person?" Situ En was a little depressed. Without a living person, he could not ask for more information. He was not able to explain to Li De.

"The Chief Commander, it's really not our fault. They all committed suicide by taking poison." The personal guard explained.

Situ En went over to check the situation of dozens of men in black, and the situation he told his personal guard was completely true.

After contacting the crisis, the soldiers cleaned the battlefield, and the assassins and those who mingled with the people all died.

Li De returned to the camp and listened to Gao Cheng and Situ En's report.

"The mission failed and committed suicide by taking poison. These people are really decisive." Li De murmured.

Zhang Chuchen entered the camp. She had just checked the situation of the man in black and confirmed that he committed suicide by taking poison, and left nothing valuable behind.

"No clue is left."

"What is the situation of the people at the gate of the barracks?" Li De asked.

"More than 100 people were injured and more than 100 people took the opportunity to cause trouble. Now they are all controlled, and all the assassins are killed and have no living." Gao Cheng said.

Li De felt that no matter whether the man in black was Dou Jiande's or not, the other party would be happy to see what he had to do to complete the task next.

"Pack up your luggage and leave Zhangshui and return to Youzhou."

"Yes." The two commanders immediately responded.

There was no one else in the barracks, so Zhang Chuchen asked, "Is he really leaving like that?"

"Or else is there any good way?"

Zhang Chuchen couldn't think of it.

"The man in black who was assassinated this time was not for the governor. Perhaps we can get some news from Liu Wuzhou. Now it seems that someone wants to kill someone to silence him." Yang Yuer hurried into the tent and said.

When she returned to the barracks, the battle had ended. Based on the information provided by the two captains, she dared to conclude something, and heard that the vanguard soldiers immediately set off and exited the Zhangshui River. She wanted to figure out the true appearance.

"I'll leave this matter to you." Li De said simply.

Yang Yu'er was stunned for a while, and she felt that Li Det was ready to speak.

"Yes, I will go and interrogate Liu Wuzhou now." Yang Yu'er said.

"Mei'er, go and assist Princess Yu." Li De said again.

Xiao Mei was a little embarrassed. She screamed so kindly and always felt shy when she heard it. Her blushing appearance was covered by half a mask, and outsiders could not see her expression at all.

Yang Yu'er didn't mind either.

Xiao Mei followed her and Chen Xuanhua was bound to be indispensable.

"The safety of the boss is the most important thing. How about I let the female guards guard you?" Lolo said worriedly.

"No, they have their things to do, and my safety is not a problem."

Li De was really not afraid of a few assassins. Even if hundreds of assassins came, they might not be able to successfully approach him.

"By the way, has the crossbow cart been pulled back?" Li De asked suddenly.

"I brought it back, and I was in the schoolyard. There were three old crossbows that were no longer used for conventional combat. The team was preparing to burn firewood and was about to dismantle it." Zhang Chuchen said.

"Don't, I finally saw such a siege crossbow. Let's see how powerful it is."

Li De said he wanted to see, and the people around him followed him out.

There were three crossbow chariots placed on the temporary school ground, which looked very old. Li De was curious where such things were obtained. How powerful are the assassins behind them?

"Do you think such a crossbow was provided by Dou Jiande?" Li De asked.

"As far as I know, not everyone has this kind of crossbow chariot. Even Dou Jiande is a wealthy family, how could they have such things?"

Yang Yuer expressed her thoughts and she still knew very well about weapons and equipment, at least she knew the weapons standards of Sui State than Li De.

"Why haven't anyone used such a huge arrow? Come and install it and try it out to see the power geometry."

Li De thought that if the vanguard soldiers could be equipped with such equipment, they would not be more capable of siegeing the city, but they had to determine the real effect of this crossbow chariot before.

"Prepare the brick and stone railings, measure the distance, and start the test."

This kind of thing is naturally handled by Situ En's personal guards, and it took an incense stick to prepare. The installation time of the arrow is recorded by a dedicated person.

"Governor, the crossbow chariot is ready." Situ En said.

"Start the test, and the target is five hundred steps ahead of the target, put it!"

Arrows like javelins flew out at a slow speed, but you could see that the power was almost not reduced during the flight.

"bump!"

Hit the target, the wood chips shattered.

Li De ran over to see the target hit, and the gravel splashed, confirming that the crossbow cart had a strong destructive power to the wooden fence, but it could not play much role in facing bricks and stones.

However, the bow and arrow pulling force of the crossbow cart is relatively large, which can extend the range of the crossbow arrow. This is desirable. If the advantages of the crossbow cart are used, it seems to be a big killer.

Is the ancient version of Katyusha feasible for the crossbow cart with multiple arrows?

Li De thought it was feasible, it was nothing more than arranging the crossbows and putting the winding devices together to use the winch to achieve overall strength.

If it is really made, he would like to call this kind of crossbow chariot that gathers multiple arrows, and a crossbow chariot can be placed in a concentrated manner with thirty bows and arrows.

Install gears that adjust the angle of the archer to meet the angle of construction of the archer. With strong pulling force, it can fully surpass the archer's advantage.

The vanguard troops are equipped with ten such crossbows to continuously serve as long-range support, especially for miraculous effects on enemy cavalry and intensive charges.

The battle against Gongcheng will also reflect the advantage of range.

"Governor, do you still have to continue the test?" Situ En asked when he saw Li De not speaking for a long time.

"Leave it to the leader to make firewood."

Li De had already made plans in his mind. After returning to the barracks, he took out the banknotes and started painting according to the crossbow he thought.

I don’t know how long it took, but Lolo came over with the food and said, “Boss, let’s have something to eat.”

Li Decai noticed that it was already dusk and realized that he was really hungry.

"You can set off tomorrow!" said Lolo.

"Well, if things in Zhangshui City are not done, let them withdraw. Remember that the tasks are important, but the safety of the lives of the personnel is more important." Li De mentioned.

"knew."

Before dawn in the morning, the two thousand soldiers brought by the vanguard left silently.

As soon as he left, Dou Jiande received the news that he left in a carriage with a guard almost at the same time, and there were not many people passing through the whole process.

There were twenty soldiers and horses accompanying them, and they all dressed up as merchants and took a detour to Jiangling.
