Catapults are hardly a novelty.

After all, it appeared during the Warring States Period, and the catapult blueprint given by Lu Zhen was also the simplest.

Therefore, without looking for craftsmen, Pei Qian led a few disciples of the family, and with the help of the soldiers and generals, he made two of them in one night. indivual.

Then, Lu Zhen took the two catapults to the foot of Xinjiang City to test the shooting range.

Several dozen kilograms of stones were thrown, but they did not cause any damage after hitting the city wall.

But when it hit the city, the effect exploded.

One of the defenders was hit by a stone. His body was torn into pieces, and blood and stumps were flying everywhere. The two recruits were frightened and went crazy on the spot.

There was a sudden panic on the city wall.

Yang Feng personally inspected and comforted him to no avail. The newly promoted lieutenant general cried and said:

"General, Lu Jun is still cutting down trees around to build more trebuchets!"

Yang Feng only thought it was impossible, and he comforted:

"Don't be afraid, everyone, catapults must not be manufactured in large quantities, otherwise the noble families would have used them to attack us."

The subordinates retorted:

"The reason why catapults were not used before was because there were no cavalry field troops like Lu Jun."

"Now that we are trapped in the city and dare not leave the city, we can use the 04 car!"

"That is, if more than 30,000 people are crowded into such a small town, and hundreds of catapults are smashing them together, where can we hide? Yang

Feng suddenly realized: Yes, a hiding place should be built.

He immediately ordered the reinforcement of the houses in the city, and encouraged everyone, saying:

"Lu Zhen sent troops to the Fen River and cut off our retreat, so we couldn't escape even if we wanted to."

Everyone languished at this moment, and they all resigned to strengthening their defenses.

But when it was evening, a scout reported:

"Cheng Lian's troops who were blocking the north retreated."

Retreat?

Yang Feng was surprised, but the lieutenants were excited:

"Let's run."

In fact, Lu Zhen set up defenses by the Fen River and then left, which only made the rebels more anxious to escape.

After all, it would make them feel that the opportunity to escape was"lost and recovered."

Yang Feng hesitated, should he run?

He was also afraid of the trebuchet. , and there are too many woods outside Xinjiang City, which is convenient for them to make.

But it is different if they cross the Fenshui River. North of the Fenshui River is the real control area of ​​the bandit army, and because of the famine before, people peeled off tree bark and ate it. , and later built houses and cut down almost all the trees.

Especially near the town, there is almost no forest, so it can greatly hinder them from building catapults outside the city.

Moreover, Yang Feng also has a naval army, and he can also set up a water fort near the Fen River. For defense.

Therefore, Yang Feng decided to withdraw his troops after careful consideration.

Of course, this withdrawal was still at night.

Moreover, Yang Feng also selected three thousand dead soldiers and personally led the rear.

Only this time, Yang Feng found that Lu Zhen did not pursue

Lu Zhen had already ordered not to pursue Yang Feng.

This was because his purpose was to drive Yang Feng to the north of the Fen River. In addition, it would be difficult to pursue and kill him. It was difficult for the war horses to wade through the water and the river was muddy.

Therefore, Lu Zhen When Yang Feng withdrew his troops, he sent someone to shout:

"The general and the governor welcome you back at any time!"

"After all the refugees return, let bygones be bygones"

"Reclamation of wasteland, rent-free for ten years"

"In addition, this summer, you can come and see the great harvest of magical beans!"

Except for patrolling the river and shouting, Lu Jun really didn't pursue him.

This huge battle seemed to end in an anticlimactic manner, but it was just the right time.

And the magic beans are potatoes!

Lu Zhen got another three hundred kilograms of potatoes in the lottery. He had already let people divide the sprouts.

Therefore, after Lu Zhen ended the war, the first thing he did was to plant potatoes.

After Yang Feng crossed the river, Lu Zhen transferred Zhao Yun to Xinjiang City.

Three hundred kilograms of potatoes also had to be planted. In Xinjiang City.

Moreover, in order to commend Pei, Lu Zhen specially invited nineteen of Pei's students, as well as generals such as Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and Guo Si, to visit the planting.

After they listened to Lu Zhen's explanation, Pei Qian said hurriedly:

"General, the yield of fertile land in Hedong is only eleven or twelve stones."

"I heard that even the best paddy fields in the south would not produce more than twenty shi."

And Lu Zhen just said: The yield of divine beans is more than 100 shi per acre.

This is impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Even Guo Si couldn't help laughing:

"General, the land in Liangzhou is barren and the yield per mu is only two or three stones."

"You say more than a hundred stones, that's one acres of fertile land."(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lu Zhen said with a smile:

"So, I said this is the magic bean! It was given to me by the gods in my sleep."

Pei Qian and others looked at each other, and Pei Jun couldn't help but laugh, because he thought Lu Zhen was joking.

But Lu Zhen really wasn't kidding.

Modern potatoes can produce several thousand kilograms per mu, and if water and fertilizer are managed well, the yield can reach ten thousand kilograms per mu.

In the Han Dynasty, one stone per mu About 27 kilograms, so it is normal for potatoes to produce more than 100 shi per acre.

Of course, it is normal for Pei Qian and others to be suspicious. After all, potatoes are so weird that they have become gods because of their high yield.

Even in modern times, they are invincible.

The yield of modern improved wheat is only more than 1,000 jins per acre.

The yield of modern improved corn is only 2,000 jins per acre.

Therefore, compared with ancient unimproved food crops, potatoes are instantly killed!

Seeing that no one believed it, Lu Zhen asked the dian Wei:

"Do you believe?"

Dian Wei nodded affirmatively:

"The general said it was possible."

That serious look made everyone look at him, and Guo Bang reflected deeply: How dare he doubt the general?!

Guo Bang immediately changed his words:

"I also believe in General, the magical beans can definitely produce hundreds of dan per acre!"

Pei Qian and others were shocked. 620

Cheng Lian immediately said:[]

"If I could produce hundreds of shi per acre, I would eat it in front of you."

Lv Zhen looked at Cheng Lian speechlessly. This kid has a good mind, but sometimes he likes to be confused.

Finally, three hundred kilograms of potatoes were planted.

Lu Zhen ordered: No one is allowed to approach the potato plantation. Zhao Yun's personal soldiers were guarding him.

When Pei Qian saw how much Lu Zhen valued it, he couldn't help but remember that he had received a magic bean.

It seemed that after returning to Wenxicheng, he would try planting it in the yard.

In early March, Lu Zhen He went south and returned to Anyi City.

Of course, before leaving, Lu Zhen went to find Han Xian again, robbed his food, and drove him north.

Lu Zhen also handed over the captured Jiang County to Pei Qian It was governed.

When they learned that Lu Zhen was gone, the families of Wenxi City rejoiced.

"So can the fields we handed over be taken back?"

"Haha~ No one is checking our fields anymore."

"What? Lu Zhen left Dianwei to check the land?"

"What kind of fields would that murderous man be searching for?!"

While the clans were thinking about how to deal with Dian Wei, Pei Qian said:

"The general left a hundred personal guards in Wenxi City who were familiar with government affairs, and he himself would come often"

"After all, the general has a divine horse, and it only takes a moment to travel between the two cities."
