Five miles south of Yecheng, the Han army camp.

"Report to the general, the left Zhonglang General has entered Wei County, and you can reach it late at dusk!" The guards reported entering the account.

For days, Tian Yan, the captive general who had not been sleeping all night, was refreshed: "I understand."

"Report! The messenger of Ji State entered the camp. He said that the Ji State's navy had entered the Zhang River and was coming to Yecheng."

Tian Yan suddenly stood up: "Please enter the big tent quickly."

"Here!"

After a moment, the messenger of Ji State was taken into the tent: "I have seen the captive general."

"Does King Ji have a letter?" Tian Yan asked at the beginning without hesitation.

"This is the letter." The messenger took out the bamboo tube from his arms and bowed and handed it to the deputy general.

The deputy general confirmed that it was correct, so he sent it to Tian Yan.

Uncovered the seal mud, unscrew the bamboo tube, took the Zuo Bo paper roll, and opened it. Tian Yan was overjoyed: "King Ji is a true hero!"

The messenger said again: "This time, we came with the ship. In addition to the three thousand 'Luan Bao Qiu Jun tent', there was also a garment embroidered official, and five skilled craftsmen would be the hall. We will break the mystery of the mysterious bird for the general."

"I thank King Ji for helping me." Tian Yansu's salute.

The messenger also returned the gift: "It is not appropriate to go back if you are humble."

"Send messenger."

"Here!"

Watching Ji Guo's messenger come out of his tent, Tian Yan couldn't help but read the secret letter carefully. He couldn't help but sigh: "The Ji Guo's mechanism is unparalleled in the world!"

The Zhang River passes northwest of Yecheng. The port has been captured by the Han army. All ships have been burned down. The Zhang River has become an insurmountable natural trenches. Therefore, Tian Yan set up camp in the south of the city. The left-ranking general Huangfu Songxing rushed to help at night. He set up a camp five miles east of the city. He is a horn with the Han army camp in the south of the city. He also dug deep into trenches, placed deer antlers to occupy the horses, and cut off the Yellow Turban thieves' way out. Moreover, Huangfu Song has many Sanhe knights and the brave men recruited along the way. If the Yellow Turban thieves really abandon the city and escape along the bank of the Zhang River, you only need to go out and rush out the cavalry and kill them. The terrain of the river bank is flat, how can the Yellow Turban thieves' army escape over the horses?

At that time, it was called Henan, Hebei, and Hedong as Sanhe. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Emperor Guangwu's Jizang": "Three rivers are not yet clear." Li Xian's note: "Three rivers, Henan, Hebei, Hedong is also."

After establishing a good camp, the left general Huangfu Song came to meet him.

"The last general Huangfu Song has seen the captive general."

"Left Zhonglang General, please get up quickly." Tian Yan also bowed his fists and replied: "Please sit down."

"Thank you." The soldiers took the Hu bed, and Huangfu Song then sat down. The Hu bed was introduced from the Western Regions and was a seat with his feet hanging down. Later generations were called "Maza" or "marching chair". During the war, it was inconvenient to sit down, so the Hu bed was used as the right person.

"I heard that the Yellow Turban Thief used magic at night and could bring fire from the sky. I wonder if this happened?" Huangfu Song asked after sitting firmly.

"This is indeed happening." Tian Yan smiled and replied: "Yecheng is majestic, with high walls and thick walls. The Yellow Turban thieves stayed in their doors and defended themselves by the city. For many days, I have been thinking about the strategy of breaking the enemy, but I have found nothing. Five days ago, I suddenly heard the sound of a spring on the front of the city, and a mysterious bird flew down, threw fire and ignited the military tent. After the soldiers were shot and killed, they were burned and the poison became even stronger. The military camps were mostly burned, and even the morale of the army was floating."

Seeing Tian Yan's expression calm, Huangfu Song asked, "I don't know if the general has a way to solve it."

"Before Zuo Zhonglang's future, the messenger of Ji State quickly sent a letter, which had relieved my impatience." As he said that, he handed the letter to Huangfu Song.

"It turns out that people are hanging under the big wooden phoenix." Just tell the secrets of heaven and mysterious things in one sentence, and you can immediately reveal them to the world.

"No wonder the Yellow Turban Thief is willing to attack at night. If this thing is released in the daytime, why should King Ji send a letter?" Tian Yan sneered: "The Yellow Turban Thief pretends to be a god and makes a ghost, and the evil words confuse the public. We should kill them all to eliminate future troubles."

"What the general said is very true." Huangfu Song clasped his fists: "I will be left to the order."

"In this way, please let the left Zhonglang General be careful to guard the camp. When the Ji Kingdom ship arrives, you and my second camp will move forward three miles forward. Create cloud ladders and weapons and choose a day to attack the city."

"Here!"

No words all night.

The next morning.

I saw the Ji Navy's navy crossing the sea and poking out of the horizon from afar. It rose rapidly again and was angrily in the wind. The Yellow Turban Guards on the top of the city were all whispering, showing fear on their faces. Why should King Ji be so strong?

The port defenders hurriedly moved the water surface to block the boats and put the Ji Kingdom fleet into the port.

Tian Yan also sent a cavalry to escort the convoy to greet him. The port is five miles away from Yecheng. If the Yellow Turban thieves dare to leave the city, they may not be able to fight. However, they were seen from afar, but they did not leave. The convoy allowed the cargo to unload the goods and transport them back to the camp safely.

The people on the boat also came to meet.

"I have seen two generals." The embroidered clerk Shi clasped his fists and saluted.

"The hero is exempted from gifts." Tian Yanju smiled and said, "Thank you King Ji for me."

The chief of the two left in a hurry: "When I came, my lord ordered me to utter a message to the general."

"Come on fast."

"The lord said: 'There are also those who are proficient in mechanisms among the Yellow Turbans. Damuluan is just one of them. There must be many powerful weapons in the city. Generals must be guarded. In addition, Ye City is towering, and the moat flows into Zhang River, which is difficult to cross. The well railing and cloud ladder are all ineffective. Generals may wish to see the models of the instruments in our Ji State, which may be of great benefit.

"What is a model?" Tian Yan asked.

"Why not let the skilled worker in the museum solve the problem for the general?" Shi Chang replied.

"In this way, let's make it clear."

"Mo is the law. Water is called law, wood is called mold, earth is called shape, metal is called Rong, and bamboo is called 海." A young Confucian scholar bowed and replied after entering the tent: "The so-called model is to 'imitate its shape with earth and wood'."

Seeing that he was very polite and had a very demeanor. He was not like an ordinary craftsman, Tian Yan asked, "Who is yours?"

The Confucian scholar gave another tribute: "The chief of Ji State's Licheng, Su Yue, have met two generals."

"It turns out that he is the chief official of Ji State, please sit down."

"Thank you." Su Yue sat down and said again: "Can we present a model of the organs of the country with the general?"

"Yes."

Su Yue raised his high-high lightly. A skilled craftsman from Ji Kingdom who was waiting outside the tent worked together to carry the lacquered wooden box.

Seeing this, the soldiers in the tent stepped forward one after another and formed a human wall. They blocked the two main generals behind them, and then opened the box cover with the skilled craftsman.

The wooden box is opened layer by layer and broken down into three bearings. Many miniature models with different shapes and lifelike shapes are arranged neatly on the table.

The sergeant picked up the case, looked up and down, left and right, and confirmed that it was correct, so he placed the case on the letter in turn.

"There are all weapons in the siege on the left, the guards in the middle, and the field weapons in the right." Su Yue smiled warmly at the two of them: "Do you dare to ask the general, do you have any favorite things?"

The Yellow Turban Rebel Thief could not retreat. It was not necessary to defend the city and fight in the field. Tian Yan pointed to a model of a machine that looked like a warship and asked, "What is this?"

"Cloud ladder carriage."

"Is it because of the cloud ladder hidden inside?" Tian Yan's heart moved.

"That's right." Su Yue nodded slightly.

"What is this?"

"Climbing the city boat car." Su Yue answered again.

After carefully looking at it, Huangfu Song suddenly realized: "Can it originate from Mozi's preparation of all the artifacts in the city?"

"That's right." Su Yue replied with a smile.

"Mozi Preparing the City Gate" lists twelve types of siege equipment and tactics: chariot, hook truck, chariot, cloud ladder, building (yin, building soil block), flooding, assault, acupuncture, holes (digging tunnels and collapse walls), ants (climbing walls), chariot (fénwēn) and chariot.

However, compared to the simple siege tools created by Mozi, Ji State combined the Momen weapons with the unique crafts of Ji State to create a "self-propelled mechanism".

"Have you ever brought this thing?" Tian Yan asked with his finger on the 'Cloud Ladder Cart'.

Su Yue nodded with a smile: "Everyone is on the boat."

"Can you demonstrate one or two?"

"What's wrong?"
