"Ah …"

Not only Militaries, but even the brothers were so shocked that their mouths gaped wide open. To kill Zhang Jiao, what kind of contribution would that be? Who wouldn't want to gloss over Zhang Jiao? Everyone immediately got up and started thinking of ideas.

"Master, I have an idea. We attack from three sides, two of us feint and one of us force. Secondly, let's disperse the Yellow Mask's forces. Third, we need to gather all of our arrows, suppress the arrows of the two enemy building on the side while we attack, and cover the siege army as they climb up the city wall. "

Xin Pi had always been observing the city walls. In front of this strong and sturdy city wall, she really couldn't think of any good methods. No matter how brilliant a advisor or how brilliant a plan is, if the enemy stays in the city and doesn't come out, you can't do anything about it. If they could suppress the enemy building, the attacking soldiers would have more opportunities.

Unexpectedly, Xin Pi's careless words made Yang Lin think of a method to suppress the firepower. In modern warfare, suppressing the enemy's firepower was the inevitable way to attack one side. But what could I do to suppress the enemy's fire?

"Got it."

Yang Lin suddenly slapped him, and a smile appeared on his face. As a modern man, after all, he knew more about besieging than anyone else. He looked at everyone and could not suppress the joy in his heart. He waved to everyone.

"Go back, I have a plan." Returning to the cavalry camp, Yang Lin dismissed the brothers and the advisors and immediately ordered Yang Hu to find a large roll of silk cloth. After that, he locked himself in the tent and started to ponder over the matter, doing his best to search his memories and draw a design on the silk cloth.

Yang Lin had never seen the physical body of a lithoclast before, nor had he seen the design drawings of a lithoclast. The ancient people could design lithoclast without understanding physics. They didn't believe that they could not design it themselves.

Just when Yang Lin was thinking, he did not expect Qin Yi and Qin Yao to barge in angrily, followed by Zheng Wei, Kang Ying, Zhang Ying, Xiao Qing, Wang Ping, Wang Ling, Xin Lian. These girls were very powerful, the guards of the Big Account did not even dare to stop them, they did not even have time to notify them, and directly walked into the tent.

"They went, did the girls quarrel?"

Upon seeing them barge in, Yang Lin immediately realized that trouble was coming. Wasn't everything fine normally? However, with seventeen to eighteen year old girls together, it would be strange if they didn't start a fight. Who knew that just as they were muttering in their hearts, Qin Yi and Qin Yao had taken out two letters.

"Scoundrel, what do you think we should do?"

Yang Lin took the letter and looked at it, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The two letters were very short, it seemed like they were sent by Eagles, they could not have been written for too long. One was from Yang Lei, and the other was from Old Village Chief Qin. The letter was short, but the meaning was clear.

The meaning of the two letters were practically the same. When Old Village Chief Qin saw that the Youzhou was flat on his back with people robbing him, he didn't even want to cultivate at all. He actually thought of using the Hu people's territory as his nomadic peoples, and requested that Yang Lei give him a few thousand horses, tents, and sheep. Yang Lei did not dare make the decision, and specially requested for instructions through a letter.

"Hehe, your father is really creative. Qin Yi, Qin Yao, tell me, should we let your father farm, or let him graze? "

Qin Yi, Qin Yao were angry, and only felt sorry for her father. If she really made a decision, she would immediately give up on it and immediately look towards her girls. Other than Zheng Wei and Zhang Ying, they had no idea what was going on in the grassland, and had no idea what was going on.

"With your father's character, he definitely won't be willing to farm. Let him make a run for it on the prairie. If it doesn't work, he can still come back and farm."

Qin Yi, Qin Yao thought that it made sense, since Youzhou had a lot of land, when would they be able to come back and farm? If she didn't go to the prairie, how would his father know if grazing was okay? With his father's martial arts and the fierceness of his fellow villagers, he wouldn't be able to do anything to them.

"Alright, let daddy graze on the prairie."

"Okay, this is what you said, I will immediately reply to Uncle Yang Lei. Whatever your father wants, what he wants, let's see if he can walk a new path."

In just a few minutes, Yang Lin thought of a new idea. The nomadic peoples has harmed the Han people for thousands of years, so why can't we become the nomadic peoples ourselves? If all the nomadic peoples in the prairie became Chinese, then it would eliminate a great hidden danger.

Actually, Yang Lin understood in his heart, it wasn't that this Old Village Chief Qin didn't want to farm, it was that he wanted to rob the prairie. He and the villagers of their Qin Village were born bandits, if they weren't allowed to rob, he would suffocate them to death.

"Eh, what are you drawing this time?"

Xiao Qing suddenly noticed the design on the table that Yang Lin had laid out, and immediately went over curiously. He and the rest of the girls surrounded him, and in that moment, Yang Lin's nose was filled with the scent of powder, and the blood on his body started to heat up, causing his breathing to become hurried.

"Heavens, are you still letting me live?"

"What is it? What have we done to you? "

Zheng Wei and Zhang Ying looked at Yang Lin in puzzlement. Everyone only looked at the design you drew, and you're not going to live? What is this? Xiao Qing, Xin Lian, Qin Yi, Qin Yao were also baffled. They did not look at the map anymore and turned to look at Yang Lin, their eyes filled with suspicion.

"Aren't you asking me to come with all these beautiful ladies?"

The few little girls' faces immediately flushed red. Hearing Yang Lin praise them as beautiful, their little hearts thumped loudly. They didn't make a sound for a moment and lowered their heads to look at the blueprints. Zheng Wei and Zhang Ying's faces were also red, she glared at Yang Lin fiercely.

"Come, come, ladies, don't make fun of me. Since you've come, come and help me. This is the design of the lithoclast that I want to create, come and help me draw it. "

"lithoclast?"

None of the girls had heard of any lithoclast, and none of them knew what uses the lithoclast had. They all stared at Yang Lin. Zheng Wei and Zhang Ying were even more impatient, she was more interested in fighting than the other girls, so he asked Yang Lin immediately.

"lithoclast used the power of machines to throw large chunks of stones to a very far place. For example, the walls of Puyang, when they smashed the soldiers guarding the city walls to death, wouldn't our soldiers rush up to them?"

"Oh, can you? Have you seen it? "

"Hehe, I won't hide it from you all, and I've never seen it before either. It's entirely based on my imagination. However, I know the principles of machinery, so I'm confident that I'll be able to succeed."

"Is that so? "Then tell me, let's draw."

To be honest, these little girls were the ladies of a noble family after all. Other than swinging their sabers and spears, they were also good at drawing dragons and phoenixes. Miss of the large family, it is a compulsory course to learn zither, chess and painting. Under Yang Lin's guidance, after a few rounds of practice, the drawing became as good as new.

Actually, Yang Lin had never seen a real lithoclast either, he had only seen it in novels. However, to a graduate of a scientific university, he was very clear about the principles behind the lithoclast. If he were to use his imagination, the design of a lithoclast would be new to him.

"This is the lithoclast, can it work?"

"Let's try. How else would we know?" Let's go find those craftsmen. "

The craftsmen who were following the cavalry soldiers were in the camp. Usually, they were in charge of forging Arrows and repairing equipment, and they were extremely busy. When Yang Lin and a few female soldiers entered the craftsmen's workshop, the older craftsman's leader immediately walked over.

"Greetings, Sir. May I know what Sir has requested?"

"All of you, come here and call the craftsmen over."

More than a hundred craftsmen surrounded them. Yang Lin called for everyone to gather together as he took out a few rolls of silk and spread them out on the table slowly. He just saw that there were all sorts of drawings on the silk cloth. Yang Lin pointed to a painted sample of lithoclast and nodded towards the artisans.

"Can you make such a thing?"

The artisans crowded forward, studying the map, but their faces were blank. The head craftsman took the design and carefully looked at it for a while. He seemed to have figured out what was going on as he raised his head and broke the silence.

"Lord, what kind of heavy object are you trying to throw out?"

"Smart! I just want to throw something heavy out, and it's a long way off. "

Yang Lin started laughing. This craftsman leader was really a smart person, just by looking at the design, he could guess Yang Lin's intentions. Yang Lin waved his hand and gathered the craftsmen together. Then, he pointed at the blueprints and explained it to them in detail.

"This is the lithoclast, a type of machinery that delivers stones from afar. Look, this is an upright ejection rod, there are two sturdy pillars on top of the beam, and the bottom of the ejection rod is inserted into a horizontal rope that is twisted very tightly. The rope is tied to both ends of the rectangular frame, just under the support frame. "

Saying that, Yang Lin stopped and waited for the blacksmiths to digest what he had said. After all, this was a new item. The blacksmiths did not have much culture and did not understand the principles behind the lithoclast. They were still unable to comprehend it for a while, so Yang Lin could only explain it to them slowly.

"Usually, the ropes would allow the ejection rod to firmly hold onto the supporting frame of the beam. The top of the ejection rod would form the shape of a ladle, and when it shot out, it would first use a winch to pull the ejection rod to a level position, before inserting a stone into the 'ladle'. When the trigger mechanism is released, the ejection rod will use a great amount of power to recover to a vertical position, and then collide with the beam. The resulting inertia force ricochet the rock towards its target with the arc of the track. "

After saying that, Yang Lin took a breath, waiting for the blacksmiths to slowly come to their senses, and seeing their blank expressions, Yang Lin could only explain. Finally, he took out those workpiece diagrams and explained it to them just like how he had explained. Finally, he let out a long breath.

"Assembling all these artifacts is a set of lithoclast s. Can you do it? "

"Lord, we should be able to do it."

Finally, the older craftsman understood and revealed a smile. In fact, the creation of lithoclast was a very simple task, it was just that he did not remember it. Once someone thought of it, it was much easier for the others to accept it.

"Okay, you can try it right away. If you do well and meet my requirements, each person will be rewarded with a thousand gold. If any of you can have any good measures to improve, I still have a heavy reward. "

In order to motivate these craftsmen, Yang Lin used a modern encouraging mechanism. Yang Lin didn't dare guarantee that his design would be perfect. If there were any improvements in the craftsmen's production process, then that would be perfect.
