Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Sheng Changjing was silent for a moment. She decided that she could not just sit there and wait for death. She had to think of some way. Otherwise, if the city was really broken, she might experience what it felt like to be eaten alive after she was reborn.

She decided to go to the city gate first, maybe she could think of some other solutions. She sighed, there were still too few people. She wondered how many people were left in Shangyu?

If I can make it through this time, I will still go over there to take a look, hoping to recruit more people back.

The atmosphere in the city was somewhat heavy. Even the young children had heavy expressions on their faces and huddled at home.

Sheng Chang'an walked hurriedly towards the city gate. The people who saw her from afar did not come forward to disturb her, but just quietly made way for her to make it easier for her to act.

Sheng Changan slowed down his pace and looked back at the people around him. Everyone was looking at him expectantly.

She moved her lips slightly, wanting to make some promise, but in the end she said nothing and walked forward again. No matter what, with the tunnel, even if it really didn't hold out in the end, Guangping wouldn't end up like Shangyu.

The city gate was particularly busy. Not far away, some were setting traps, while others had found a pile of rocks to block the gate. Rocks? They should be able to build a small catapult and place it on the city wall.

Sheng Changan casually grabbed a soldier who was carrying a stone and asked, "How many stones are there? Where are they?"

The man was a little confused, but when asked, he answered, "There are many large rocks like this on the border of Yueheng County, not far from here. The county magistrate over there doesn't care about them, so Lord Wu asked his subordinates to use these to block the city gate."

Sheng Chang'an nodded, signaling them to continue their work. She had also made some inquiries about Yueheng County. If Guangping City fell, it would be next. She also heard that the county magistrate was afraid of death.

Now they probably hope they can hold on a little longer. They certainly won't say anything if it's just some stones, but the distance is really far.

Moreover, it would take several strong men to lift it together. A big stone would weigh at least several hundred pounds. Even if a donkey cart was used for transportation, it would probably still not be enough. However, one stone could kill many people.

If there were many Xianbei people, at least one could smash a large area. Moreover, it is not difficult to make catapults, and you don't need too many. Just two can be used to guard the city gate.

"Sir" Zheng Jun walked over, his long gown now covered in dust. He brushed off the dust as he walked over.

"Just right." Sheng Changan picked up a branch and roughly drew the catapult he remembered. "How long will it take to make this catapult?"

Zheng Jun circled around the pattern on the ground. "It's not difficult. I should be able to make one in five days. But if we want to use it to defend the city, it will probably take quite a few people to operate this catapult."

As expected of someone who works in the Ministry of Industry, he took a quick look and roughly understood its principle. "That's okay, let's speed up and make it first."

Speaking of this, she thought of Li Dashan a little bit. Maybe if it was him, only one person would be needed. Sheng Changan looked at Wang Qi who had been following him and said, "Go to Wu County and try to find as many of these stones as possible."

Sheng Changan looked at the stones. In order to block the city gate, these stones were almost one meter high and several of them were stacked together. It was estimated that few people could move them.
