Chapter 890: Brilliant Hanwei (15)
Zhang said that he was an official under Lu Chao who was in charge of the handover with Tan Feng, but Zhong Mo was the general of the Black Ice Terrace, and Zhong Mo appeared here, naturally because he wanted to escort Ji Ling back to Xianyang. Ji Ling, who yelled angrily, was quickly taken down, and after being stuffed into a carriage, there was no sound in an instant, and as the carriage clattered through the courtyard in the rainy night, only Tan Feng and Zhang Shuo were left in the county office.
"Master Zhang, you said that you would guarantee the safety of the king!" Tan Feng looked at Zhang who stayed and said.
Zhang said with a smile: "That's nature. Lord Tan, you are too worried, as far as we are concerned, King Yan is now a strange commodity to live in, with him, after we destroy Wei, we can crusade against Gao Yuan in a righteous and bright way, whether it is Zhao or Chu, we can't say anything, right? Because we want to restore the country for King Yan!"
The faces of several people in the house are very bright, the Qin people have the heart to dominate the world, and passers-by know it, under this excuse, I am afraid that even a three-year-old child will not believe it, but as long as Ji Ling stays in Xianyang, who can object to say no!
"Until King Yan arrives in Xianyang, we need to keep this matter absolutely confidential." Zhang said to Tan Feng: "We don't want any accidents on the road, whether it is Gao Yuan or Zhao Ren, we will not be happy to see Ji Ling appear in Xianyang, if he dies on the middle of the road, it will be a failure."
"In Quwo, we have prepared and found a stand-in, and in the coming days, he will appear frequently in public, but the protection work along the way will be up to you Hei Bingtai." Tan Feng Dao.
"That's nature. You have to do enough here, General Lu is preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Wei, and he can't draw many troops on hand. It can only be secretly escorted by the Black Ice Terrace, and you also know that Gao Yuan's Supervision Yuan and Zhao Ren's Tiger and Leopard Rider are not vegetarians, and if we can hide it for a long time, it will be more conducive to our return." Zhang said.
A hint of surprise flashed in Tan Feng's eyes, and he glanced at Zhou Yu, seeing the expressions of the two, Zhang said, "Are the two of you wondering in your hearts, the offensive against Wei that General Lu promised to launch immediately was delayed?"
"Exactly, according to our agreement with General Lu, with us as the internal response, General Lu will quickly launch an attack on the Wei State, uproot the four strongholds of the Wei army except for Daliang, and open the road to Daliang." Tan Feng Dao.
"Don't hide it from the two generals, it was originally so prepared, but now there is a little trouble, there are some problems with the supply of food and grass for our army, for the sake of safety, General Lu can only postpone this attack, I hope a few can understand. As soon as our army's supply of food and grass returns to normal, the offensive will begin." Zhang said.
Listening to what Zhang said, Tan Feng and Zhou Yu just felt a little frightened, Lu Chao is a person who plans and then acts, and now there is such a fork, I am afraid that the problems they encounter are far from being so easy as Zhang said.
Ji Ling is gradually on the end of his life, and Gao Yuan, who makes him grit his teeth with hatred, is stepping into the fast lane of life. At the same time that Ji Ling was secretly escorted to Xianshi by the Black Ice Terrace, the newlywed Yan'er Gao Yuan did not linger in the beaudoir, but appeared in the military workshop of Jishi City.
The huge stone city is divided into a number of square areas, and the military workshop is undoubtedly the largest of these square areas, here, the largest military workshop of the Eastern Army is concentrated, and the sharp weapon of the Eastern Army is continuously manufactured from here and then transported out.
The military workshop is divided into two different areas, one is the living area, mainly living military craftsmen and their families, in this area, the foreign population is extremely difficult to enter, the shops in this area, all by the four seas of commerce and trade, the business of the shopkeeper, the guys are also retired soldiers or military craftsmen of the family, this area, is also the focus of the supervision of the object of monitoring, the weapons of the Eastern Army have always been ahead of the countries on the mainland, naturally also aroused the covetousness of these countries, spying on the secrets of the military production of the Eastern ArmyIt is also one of the information that spies from various countries want to hear in every possible way.
The production area where the workshops are concentrated is even more heavily guarded, and even the families of the craftsmen cannot step into this area.
Gao Yuan stood in front of a crossbow machine, his eyes flashed with a look of amazement, this is a crossbow machine. Now the long-range strike weapons used by the Eastern Army, mainly the arm crossbow and the bed crossbow, the bed crossbow shooting speed is slow, in the Eastern Army, has gradually been on the verge of being eliminated, because like the Eastern Army, which is mainly attacking, mainly field troops, with the army carrying heavy weapons such as the bed crossbow, it is really a little inconvenient, now the Eastern Army only in some specific battles and city defense, only use the bed crossbow, the arm crossbow because of the easy to carry, long range, strong strength and more popular among the soldiers.
The arm crossbow is the standard equipment of the Eastern Army, it does not require soldiers to have superb archery skills, it is purely covering shooting, a soldier, two or three days of training can be used proficiently, now in the Eastern Army, the use of ordinary longbows, except for the Huns and the Donghu people, there is basically no other troops, compared to the time spent on training a clever archer, training the arm crossbow is undoubtedly more cost-effective.
The crossbow machine displayed in front of Gao Yuan, about one person high, is divided into two large parts, the bottom is the base, and the top, is the movable crossbow machine that can move up and down left and right, and the sharp crossbow arrows on the top are shining, which makes people's hearts chill.
"Divine crossbow!" Looking at this thing in front of him, Gao Yuan blurted out. Reaching out and touching this cold killing machine, I was full of emotion in my heart, did I finally get it out? The bed crossbow is inconvenient to carry, Gao Yuan has always wanted to improve this long-range weapon, the last time he inspected the workshop, Gao Yuan in a meeting with the old craftsman, talked about the idea of a repeating crossbow machine, in Gao Yuan's previous life memory, this kind of extremely long-range repeating crossbow machine seems to appear in the Song Dynasty, the range can reach more than 1,000 steps, extremely powerful. At that time, I didn't expect that these craftsmen would really figure it out.
Looking back at the principal of the Fang District, "Have you tried it?"
"Back to Dudu, I have done many tests, and the Divine Machine Crossbow shoots sixty crossbow arrows each time, with a range of up to 1,000 steps, and an effective killing radius of 600 steps." The principal He Jingzhi said respectfully.
"Who came up with the idea that this magic crossbow can rotate in all directions?" Gao Yuan smiled and grabbed a handle sticking out on the left side of the Shenji crossbow with one hand, and with a little force, he turned the Shenji crossbow around for most of the time, and looked at the crossbow arrow that flashed blue light aimed at him, and the accompanying personnel of that piece all took half a step back in horror.
"It was a young craftsman who came up with it, the year before last the governor put forward the idea of the crossbow, we have been experimenting, the first prototype was made at the beginning of this year, but the direction of shooting is fixed, and then a craftsman asked, can the upper and lower parts of the crossbow be made separately, and then connected, the lower part is fixed, the upper part can move freely, so in the war, it is not limited by the direction, you can shoot the enemy in any direction freely, the subordinates think this idea is very good, I added this idea on my own initiative, and this is the improved prototype."
"How?" Gao Yuan asked, this is a key problem, the bed crossbow is slow to fire, and it is too heavy, it is not easy to carry with the army, if this divine crossbow is too heavy, it is also a problem.
"Not heavy, not heavy!" He Jingfang hurriedly said: "The whole weight of the whole human divine machine crossbow is less than three hundred catties, and after the upper and lower parts are disassembled, the upper part weighs about more than one hundred catties, and the lower part weighs about one hundred and fifty catties. It only takes four soldiers to take a Divine Machine crossbow with a light."
"Didn't you say three hundred pounds?" Takato glanced at the principal strangely.
"Governor, please look!" He Jingzhi walked to the Shenji crossbow, stretched out his hand and pressed and pulled on the top, and a cylinder retreated from the crossbow machine, "Dudu, the Shenji crossbow has a fast rate of fire, and it can shoot sixty crossbow arrows at a time, but there is also a problem, that is, after a launch, it will take a long time to re-launch, so the craftsmen have exhausted themselves and designed this kind of launcher, and the crossbow arrows are loaded in advance, and after a launch, only need to load this quiver, and then it can be fired again, and it takes very little time."
"Wonderful!" Gao Yuan applauded and laughed, "Master He, you are a good supervisor of the workshop, you will live up to your expectations, let's go and try the power of this divine crossbow."
Four craftsmen stepped forward, and quickly dismantled the divine machine crossbow into two parts, and the quivers inside were also removed one by one, two people carried the fuselage, and the rest of the craftsmen carried the quiver, and with Gao Yuan and his party, they arrived at the martial arts arena.
The crossbow machine was installed, and on the other side of the arena, wooden stakes wearing armor had already been erected.
"Dudu, the distance of the martial arts arena is limited, only three hundred steps away, but the range of this divine crossbow has been secretly tested by our workshop in the wild, and no one can stop it within six hundred steps." He Jingzhi.
"I'll try!" Gao Yuan rolled up his sleeves, walked to the Shenji crossbow, and turned the upper part of the crossbow machine left and right, feeling very light, and couldn't help but nod. Not bad."
Facing the row of targets in front of him, Gao Yuan took a slight aim, pulled the rope violently, and a buzzing sound immediately sounded, and the entire crossbow machine slammed backwards, and sixty crossbow arrows rushed forward like dark clouds. After a loud noise, none of the stakes with armor standing three hundred paces in front of him were still standing, and all of them were shot to the ground. Gao Yuan let go and took a step back, and the four craftsmen on the side immediately rushed forward, withdrew the empty quiver, and loaded the other quiver, the time required was only a few breaths, Gao Yuan turned the crossbow machine, aimed at another target on the left, pulled the rope again, and there was a whistling sound, and the targets on the left also fell to the ground.
"Bring it!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, and He Weiyuan immediately led his guards to run to that messy place and picked up a few that were slightly intact.
"Dudu, most of them are shattered, and here are a few of them in good condition."
Looking at the armor-covered stake that He Weiyuan held in front of him, a crossbow arrow was deeply inserted, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared around it, this armor was produced by the Eastern Army, and the quality was much better than that of other countries on this continent, even it was vulnerable, and the rest could be imagined.
If you encounter such a sharp weapon in a large-scale confrontation, the end can be imagined, with He Lanxiong, Xu Yuan, Ye Chong and others who came from afar, their faces changed color, they are all heavy generals, but what they are thinking about at this time is how to deal with their troops if they encounter such a weapon.
