"Bang!" With a loud noise, one side of the stone thrower was broken, making a creaking and breaking sound. The body tilted, and the counterweight box fell down first, and the bricks and stones inside were spread all over the floor. The craftsmen next to him were so scared that they screamed in shock and fled in all directions. The guards who were supervising the battle rushed up and were about to kill him. The wind sounded above his head, and the long pole fell down and hit his shoulder. The guards screamed and fell into the pool of blood.

Before Cao Cao could respond, a stone thrower not far away was also hit. The tip rod was raised, the counterweight box was thrown off the city wall, and a series of screams sounded under the city.

"So accurate?" Cao Cao's face changed drastically. He heard from the people of the He family that Sun Ce fired more than a dozen times to attack the He family manor, and only hit the target twice, with a hit rate of about 10%. There were thirty stone throwers outside the city. If they were all aimed at the two stone throwers at the top of the city, they might be able to hit quickly. However, what he saw was a one-on-one contest, and he could hit the target so quickly, which means that the opponent's stone thrower was not only accurate, but also the skilled craftsmen who operated the stone thrower, which was a big improvement compared to when attacking the He family manor.

"I've said it a long time ago that Yuan Shu's stone throwing machine is better than ours, so it's accurate." Cao Hong sat on the ground with his back against the city wall, swept his eyes over the stone throwing machine lined up on the city wall, and kept curling his lips. The cold sweat on his forehead could not be wiped clean. "I guess at most half a day, there would be no one of these stone throwing machines left."

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. Cao Hong was too pessimistic and could not stand alone. However, Cao Cao's mood was not much better. He presided over imitating stone throwing machines and knew what level of these stone throwing machines were. The gap between the two sides was definitely not a small part, and no one could have confidence.

Facts have proved that Cao Hong's pessimism was not a creation of nothing, but a precious intuition. Both sides fought back and forth for a long time, and the sun was just west. The craftsmen from the baggage camp outside the city were finally more skilled and destroyed more than 30 stone throwers on the city one by one, while only two stone throwers outside the city lost.

Cao Cao's heart sank to the bottom like the counterweight box of those stone throwers.

——

The flag was won, and the stone thrower outside the city began to concentrate on attacking the city tower, making final preparations for the siege car to come forward and score the door.

Seeing that his great achievements were about to be accomplished, Chen Yu was so happy that he was restless. He walked back and forth on the stage and sent people to Ximen to check the situation from time to time. It would be a small contribution to breaking the city before Sun Ce. It was not that Chen Yu was jealous of Sun Ce, but that Yuan Shu relied too much on the two young people, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Everyone, including Chen Yu, felt the pressure.

The situation outside the West Gate was similar, but Sun Ce was not as excited as Chen Yu. He was a little tired of sitting on the stage, so he simply stretched out his legs, clenched his fists and knocked it gently. The front was full of fun, but the back was a little deserted.

"Is the stone thrower in place? The sun is about to set."

Pang Tong stood on tiptoe and looked carefully. "It should be almost done, it seems to be on the stone."

"Well, this is almost the same. After fighting early, I rested early and sat for a day, I was really tired." Sun Ce murmured to himself. It was said that the offensive was magnificent and exciting, but after watching it for a long time, I was a little tired. After sitting on the stage for a day, the wind and sun were shining. The only pastime was to watch the stone throwers of both sides attacked each other. But the stone throwers in the city were too weak and were no match for no match. Less than an hour after showing up, they were removed one by one by one by one by the stone throwers. The rest was unilaterally showing off their skills, which was really boring.

Invincible, how lonely it is.

——

Huang Yueying raised her neck and looked at the towering pole, unable to suppress the excitement in her heart.

After countless efforts, these giant stone throwers were finally in place and were about to be tested. She was not worried about the effect of the test shot. In the past few months, she has spent almost all her time on these stone throwers except for eating and sleeping. She has tested the shooting during the day every day, sorted out records at night, figured out the rules, and continuously improved it. Although she has not reached the level of simple and easy that Sun Ce mentioned, she knows every detail of these stone throwers. Just glance at her and she will know where there is a problem and what the test shot will be.

If the previous stone thrower was mainly due to the hard work of her father Huang Chengyan, then these giant stone throwers were completely her achievement. Sun Ce did not agree to the craftsmen in the baggage camp entering the city to assemble, forcing her to find another way. The result of thinking for a few days has created these giant stone throwers, which also gave her a broader idea.

Perseverance and gold and stone can be carved. She believes that one day she will be able to extract a simple formula that will make everyone understand the truth.

But all of this is not as happy as Sun Ce's surprise look at that time.

Huang Chengyan walked over and gently pressed Huang Yueying on the shoulder. "Stop looking, be careful of your neck."

"Hehe, I'm fine." Huang Yueying turned her head, her neck was indeed a little sore, but she felt happy in her heart. "Aweng, can you really enfeoff the emperor to me?"

Huang Chengyan couldn't help laughing. "Is this very important? With your intelligence, it will be a matter of time before you can enthrone the king."

Huang Yueying became shy. "I don't want the kind of throne that is priested. I have to make a profit by relying on my own ability. Of course, I don't want to be priested now. This is Aweng's credit. If Aweng can be priest, I will be happier than if I am myself."

"I'm not worried, it's only a matter of time before I'm a marquis." Huang Chengyan patted Huang Yueying's little face, looked at the busy craftsmen around him, and smiled: "What I'm curious about is how many 2,000 stones and how many monarchs will be produced in the future."

——

Cao Cao had just rushed back from the north gate, climbed up the city tower, put on a canopy in his hand, looked at the stone thrower position outside the city, and exclaimed: "What is that? Is the stone thrower? Why is it so big?"

Xiahou Dun was paying attention to this matter and quickly said, "Yes, these two stone throwers came late and were adjusting their positions, with cloth covering them. At first I thought it was Wanglou, but I didn't expect it to be a larger stone thrower."

Cao Cao was inexplicably surprised. What was Sun Ce trying to do? He used a stone thrower to directly bombard the city wall? The power of the stone thrower is not small, and it is definitely not comparable to a crossbow. Almost all the city towers on the city were smashed, and many battlements were smashed, but the overall damage to the city wall was very limited. Even if the stone thrower was big, what could it be? It could directly smash the city gate. How accurate is it?

"General, hide quickly, as if it is about to radiate." Xi Zhicai reminded.

Cao Cao laughed. "Zhicai, don't be nervous. Even if Sun Ce wants to fight, he won't hit the city wall. The city tower has been broken, and he should attack the city gate now. We are more than a mile away from the West City Gate. If we can fight here, I think the craftsman's head will not be able to save it."

Xi Zhicai shook his head with a self-deprecating voice. "The general is still calm. I just watched the stone throwing machine shoot at the north gate, but I was very nervous."

Cao Cao was also frightened when he remembered what he had seen at the North Gate just now.

"Be careful, General!" Cao Anmin rushed over and knocked Cao Cao to the ground. Cao Cao fell to the ground, making his teeth loose and his nose sore and sore. He was so angry that he was about to curse, but he heard a roar in his ears. When he turned around, he was trembling with fear and a chill rushed to the back of his head.
