that's it.
In two and a half days, the ladder car has been preliminarily built.
Now it just needs some minor repairs to make it more suitable for the characteristics of Xiangyang City.
The moat outside Xiangyang City is wide, and it is necessary to build a flying bridge during the siege!
In fact, two long logs were used, with planks nailed on them, placed on the moat during the siege.
To facilitate the advancement of other siege equipment.
There is only one problem, that is, the weight of the ladder truck cannot collapse the fly bridge!
The ladder car has to lose weight!
At this point, Zhu Youxiao once again demonstrated his excellent professional ability.
Repair all the parts that can be removed, or the parts that can reduce the weight!
For the successful "slimming" of the ladder truck!
This repair was done by Cao Xiong himself under Zhu Youxiao's command.
In the eyes of all the elderly carpenters, this is simply a living master-level operation!
"Fifth Young Master is truly a genius in the world of carpentry!"
"The old man is really willing to bow down!"
Among them, some have been working as carpenters for more than ten years, and some, such as old carpenter Liu, have been working for more than 30 years!
They all looked dumbfounded.
Cao Xiong's "slimming" of the ladder car is really frightening!
I'm afraid that if one more nail is removed, the whole body will fall apart!
But they can't accept it.
Because even after such an ingenious operation, the ladder car is still extremely solid!
Some elderly carpenters even knocked on various parts of the ladder truck.
The conclusion is still one word: hard!
At this time, the carpenters have complete admiration and admiration for the 15-year-old fifth son in front of them!
Who was this fifth young master instructed by?
It is possible to invent equipment of the same level as the ladder car.
He is also proficient in the repair skills in carpentry.
Even if you started carpentry in the womb, you can't be so good, can you?
At first, the carpenters who were not optimistic about the fifth son Cao Xiong felt that three days ago, they were really "limp in their eyes, and they were mistaken!"
Chapter 129
The three days of the game were uneventful!
Cao Xiong is united as one, but he is full of confidence in winning the "genius carpenter" Hao Zhao.
On the last night, the carpenters spontaneously organized an overnight stay in Jingxuan Pavilion.
Everyone is looking forward to, tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning, how many people will be shocked by this "ladder car"!
Cao Xiong didn't care about staying overnight in Jingxuan Pavilion, anyway, Jingxuan Pavilion is not small, if it can accommodate dozens of people, there will always be a place to settle it!
In order to prevent accidents, Cao Xiong also mobilized two more teams of soldiers to guard Jingxuan Pavilion.
Everything is in order.
Cao Xiong, Cao Lin and Lingju were sitting in the Jingxuan Pavilion. Because of his joy, Cao Xiong specially asked the guards to go to the Food Pavilion to buy enough food and wine for a hundred people!
Distributed to these carpenters and helping soldiers!
Cao Xiong didn't want to drink at first, but he didn't want to disappoint the carpenters and soldiers, so he drank a little.
What's more, the level of fermentation of baijiu in the Three Kingdoms period was not very good!
The alcohol content is no different from the beer before time travel!
But drinking, drinking, Cao Xiong became a little dizzy!
Then I couldn't bear it anymore, and fell asleep lying on the table!
……
When he woke up again, Cao Lin in front of him was shaking him desperately, and Lingju was holding an empty water basin in his hand!
There was actually juanjuan thin water on my forehead, flowing down slowly!
"Go 'water'!"
"Go 'water'!"
Continuous shouts came from outside Jingxuan Pavilion.
Cao Xiong swept around.
The carpenter and the government soldiers all fell asleep, even the choking breath of the fire could not wake them up!
"Did you run out of water?" Cao Xiong's eyes were still dazed!
The fire outside the pavilion is getting bigger and bigger.
Under the escort of Cao Lin and Lingju, Cao Xiong quickly ran out of Jingxuan Pavilion!
Dianman, who came to put out the fire, saw Cao Xiong coming out, bowed and saluted:
"Commander! There is a lot of fire in the southeast corner of Jingxuan Pavilion! The two teams of soldiers under my command have arrived, and the fire has been brought under control!"
"It's okay!" Cao Xiong sighed, after all, it was a corner of Jingxuan Pavilion and did not threaten the main hall, otherwise wouldn't these drunken carpenters and government soldiers be in danger?
Cao Xiong rubbed his nose with his hands.
It's really unpleasant to be smoked by this!
"wrong!"
Cao Xiong reacted abruptly.
"Why is the southeast corner of Jingxuan Pavilion on fire?" Cao Xiong continued to think carefully!
Zhu Youxiao in the live broadcast room sent a super barrage: "Idiot, my ladder car is in the southeast corner!" 』
"Oops"
See Zhu Youxiao's barrage.Cao Xiong screamed out!
Cao Lin saw that his face was a bit ugly, and comforted him: "Fifth brother, it's just a corner of Jingxuan Pavilion, just call someone to repair it tomorrow, don't be angry!"
Lingju's words were not so polite.
"I almost lost my life, so you still care about it?"
There is a cold breath in the words!
Cao Xiong frowned.
He shouted anxiously: "It's just a corner of Jingxuan Pavilion! It's our ladder cart that was burned over there!"
While speaking, Cao Xiong planned to run to the southeast corner of Jingxuan Pavilion, but was stopped by Dianman.
"Ah!" Cao Lin exclaimed. When it was on fire, he instinctively gave priority to saving his life, and he would not think of the ladder car.
Lingju reacted.
"Is it a trick?"
At this time, there was a barrage of barrage in the live broadcast room!
Yang Guang: "What a precise calculation!" 』
Li Shimin: "Use fire to attract everyone's attention, but the target is the ladder car!" 』
Cao Xiong: "This trick is very similar to the tricks of these brothers!"Me and him..."
Ying Zheng: "Calm down, anchor first!" 』
Yang Guang: "Now we need to think of an excuse. We can't hand over the ladder car tomorrow, so we have some explanations." 』
Liu Bang: "Priority is to find out what happened!" 』
See the barrage in the live broadcast room!
Instead, Cao Xiong calmed down, looking at the fire in the southeast corner, it was obviously calculated!This ladder car must not be saved.
Chapter 130
"This Sikong Mansion is really hard to guard against!"
Cao Xiong secretly clenched his fists!
Even if he added two teams of government soldiers, a single carelessness still caught someone else's way!
"Wine...wine! There must be something wrong with the wine!"
Cao Lin exclaimed, "All the carpenters and government soldiers passed out after drinking alcohol! There must be something wrong with the alcohol!"
Cao Xiong is about to run to the main hall of Jingxuan Pavilion!
"No!" Cao Lin stopped abruptly and shook his head violently.
"I've tried all these wines with silver needles, and they are not poisonous. How could that be?"
"Drought medicine! If it's a medicine for drought, silver needles can't detect it!" Lingju said lightly!
Lingju was born in "Wenhou Temple", so he naturally knows about poisoning and casting dry medicine.
She didn't drink alcohol before, otherwise she would be able to identify the strangeness in one sip!
Cao Xiong murmured.
"The first is the drought medicine! The second is setting fire! It's a series of tricks!"
At this time, Cao Xiong was blowing the hair on his forehead.
There is a coldness in the eyes!
****
An hour later.
Inside Lingyan Pavilion, Cao Zhi was wrapped in a thick quilt and watching the fire in Jingxuan Pavilion in the southwest corner of Sikong Mansion!
He asked himself: "Did Yang Xiu succeed in his strategy?"
****
In Zhaoyang Pavilion, Cao Pi slapped the table heavily after hearing the report from the eyeliner. "Fifth brother, fifth brother, it depends on you as a brother, what can you compare with?"
Cao Pi's confidant, Qin Lang, the leader of the government soldiers, let out a "hum", as if he had vented the anger in his heart these days!
Because of the fifth son, Cao Xiong, he was forced to patrol the Sikong Mansion for the past two days and nights, without closing his eyes!
Even so, facing the flames in the southwest corner of Sikong Mansion, his eyes widened bigger than anyone else!
He Yan laughed lightly, "It seems that Mr. Zhang still has some prestige among the soldiers!"
****
In the Yonghui Pavilion, Cao Zhang laughed "haha" when he heard the report from his confidant soldiers.
"Zhao Wu and Zhang Si are quite capable, and it's not in vain for me to promote them like that! Fifth brother, fight with me? You are still far behind!"
