Chapter 222 Sima Chong’s Inference

The fourth test item, "The Craftsman's Plan to Defend the City," will end in the afternoon, which is the same time as the second test item of the County Martial Competition.

It's the beginning of time now.

Wang Ge picked up the trebuchet mold again and began to modify the fifth city defense equipment.

She wants to change the single lever into a double lever. On one end of the human-powered rope, the two ropes merge into a rope in the shape of "Ya"; on the top of the other end, a half-arc bamboo tube is placed horizontally, and a mud ball filled with thorns is placed; between the double levers

During the period, a bamboo shield was woven and tied tightly to the two levers with hemp rope.

Then this device can not only throw mud balls, but also serve as a defensive shield. Once the siege team throws damaging objects at her and her team members, she and her team members will immediately hide behind the bamboo shield, which can at least block one or two rounds of attacks.

Of course, everything is the best idea.

The first difficulty in the transformation is the horizontal half-arc bamboo tube. How deep is the arc? How many bamboo tubes are needed to splice it? It must match the size of the mud ball. Wang Ge concluded from the presence of "silt" in the reward materials, and in the fifth test item

, candidates will not be allowed to use earthenware, and even the water provided is rationed.

Let's see tomorrow, how much sediment will be given to her. So, she drew three specifications of bamboo tubes on the wooden slip: the smallest specification is three long, split bamboo stalks; the largest specification is three-cut bamboo stalks.

Long, three suitable curvature moso bamboo stalks are bundled into a half-arc bamboo tube.

The second difficulty in the transformation is to make the mud balls. They cannot be strong. After throwing them, whether they hit the target or fall to the ground, they must be broken. Otherwise, they will be picked up by the siege team and thrown back, which will be troublesome.

.

The final difficulty is whether to fix this equipment on the ground or move it? Alas, it would be great if the terrain of the steep slope of the battlefield could be known in advance.

"The slope is so steep that even an eagle flying over won't have anywhere to stay."

"Idiot, shut up."

"What are you afraid of? There's no one around."

"Both of you, shut up."

The three sneaky gangsters were named Li Dao, Li Mei, and Li Qiu. They were the three people who escaped from hiding. They were not biological brothers, except for Li Dao, whose original name was Li Dalang, and the surname "Li" was real.

The name "Dao" and the surnames of the other two people were all derived from the sworn vows.

There was a plum tree growing in the place of sworn worship. At that time, the only food for the three of them was the rice brought by Li Dalang. Since they knelt down to heaven and earth during the sworn ceremony, they were named Li Dao, Li Mei, and Li Kneeling respectively. From the naming aspect, it can be seen that none of the three brothers was smart.

people.

So I went off track not long after going down the mountain, and then started to alternate between getting more and more off track and going in circles.

Fortunately, they also knew that they had to take the road with dead leaves, and there were so many dead leaves that they had to be the same as the maple leaves sewn on their robes. They were not running away timidly, but just like the reckless ideas of some bandits, they were unwilling to hide.

, I want to kill some brave men before taking action, and then go back after killing them.

The steep slope standing in front of the three people is very high and long, and you can't see the edges on both sides.

Uphill?

"Be careful, someone is coming." Li Dao, who has the best eyesight, reminded hurriedly.

The three people quickly put on their hats and lay down on the ground skillfully, with their heads and feet in the same direction as the person coming, so that they would not be easily stepped on.

There were a lot of people walking by, so it was not suitable to take action. The three brothers did not dare to express their anger until these people were gone.

Li kneeled down and asked in a muffled voice: "Are they brave men?"

Li Dao raised his head cautiously: "No. Every brave man has a horse."

Li Mei muttered, "Brother is right."

Li Dao: "Okay, get up and follow me. Go and take a look. These people are wearing official clothes. There must be a reason for coming here."

When you look at it from a distance, you don't think the slope is difficult to climb. It's only when you climb up that you realize how difficult it is. The dwarf vines are all thorny branches.

Li kneeled and asked: "Why are there so many thorns? It's like they were dug up from somewhere else and planted here."

Li Mei: "Fortunately, the leaves are thick and suitable for hiding."

Li Dao: "No, someone is here again."

The three of them hurriedly clung to the ground. In their haste, thorns scratched their faces.

This is where the fate of the "unlucky ghosts" begins. Almost every quarter of an hour, there are teams walking on the top and bottom of the slope. Gradually, Li Dao and the others are stuck on the steep slope, neither daring to go up nor down. In order to stay steady, their hands

and feet were stabbed.

Finally, Li knelt down and cried: "Eldest brother, second brother, let's stop fussing and lie down here for a while."

The unlucky ones don't know that if they don't mind the effort and move away from here little by little, they may be able to survive, but maybe they won't be swatted to death like flies by a new type of city defense equipment called the "Spike Swatter"

In the pile of dead leaves.

The words are divided into two parts.

In the examiner's area, the medicine boy applied medicine to Sima Chong's mouth and had to let it dry before covering it with a towel.

"Ah Chong."

Sima Chong turned his head, Xie Yi? He wanted to smile at Xie Yi, but his mouth hurt. The other party sat beside him and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"Um."

Xie Yi patted the back of Sima Chong's hand twice, and the tacit understanding and friendship between son and son were all unspoken. "The examiner told me what happened in the past few days, but there were very few clues. He suspected that Tao Youxian from Hefang Township

If he has sexual misconduct, check him out first. Do you know this person?"

Sima Chong could not speak and had stones in his bag. He wrote on the ground: "I am doubting him, not just his character."

Xie Yi's eyes lit up: "Tell me about your suspicions."

Sima Chong nodded, and every time he wrote a few words, he raised his head and took a breath or two, because when he lowered his head, the wound on his mouth hurt even more, as if it was about to burst and bleed. When he was in Hefang Township, he didn't know Tao Lian at all.

, this person always had trouble with him. The reason for the trouble was that Sima Chong was a Xinxiang soldier at such a young age, and because of his family background, he took advantage of this craftsman competition to become a wanderer.

Sima Chong was indeed guilty, and although Tao Lian's provocations were numerous, they were not excessive each time, so the two did not make any move before arriving in Shanyin County. This man simply lingered until they entered the craftsman examination room.

The talents were separated briefly.

"Tao Lian himself is a wanderer, so who are you complaining about? I snatched the promotion opportunity of ordinary rural soldiers, but I didn't steal the opportunity of wandering?" After writing this sentence, Sima Chong pointed his fingers emphatically.

Xie Yi: "It makes sense. Normally speaking, if you have the ability to be a wanderer, you have the ability to prevent him from being a wanderer. His complaints should be hidden in his heart, why bother to openly oppose you all the time? It seems... intentional

Approach you?"

Sima Chong continued to write. This morning, he really started to think about Tao Lian and doubted his intentions. The news that the eunuch had an accomplice was spread by Jiang Youxiang on the order of the examiner. But Tao Lian, in order to show his loyalty, shouted:

"Listen carefully, you will kill Sima Chong if you wait." A few words.

Anyone who hears the news that the eunuch has an accomplice must know that there is only one accomplice. Why did Tao Lian shout "Wait"? He repeated it twice?

Xie Yi: "Guilty? Deliberate? All prove there is something wrong with this person. No," he shook his head slowly, "that's not the point. The point is, he still wants to get close to you. How is his martial arts?"

"We have competed on the road. With his brute strength, he is no match for me."

"During the contest, which hand did he move first?"

Sima nodded quickly.

"Ah Chong, be careful of this person. He may use brute force and may... not want to expose his flaws. Moreover, he deliberately makes you look down upon. What is certain is that his target is definitely not you. When this person approaches you again, tell me
