Chapter 458: Show Your Skills
The soldier sold the soldiers of this house a little affection, muttered and brought a large box with someone, threw it on the ground, and then ignored it.
The box was locked, rusty, and I didn't know where the key had gone.
Hua Qianshu plucked a silver hairpin from his head, squatted down, and opened it with a light pick into the keyhole.
The soldiers glanced at each other, twisted their faces to pay attention to the movements of her men, and remained on the sidelines.
The bow and crossbow are bulky, with wood as the rod and the iron piece as the feather, and the arrow is flat and chiseled, which is different from ordinary bows and arrows, and is called chisel arrows. Hua Qianshu is a weak willow supporting the wind, and it looks a little difficult to lift it.
The soldiers stepped forward to help with the installation: "How could this rough work be done by the lady? ”
Hua Qianshu thought, he really didn't pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, who let himself have this noodle-like figure?
She skillfully hooked a rope with hooks at both ends, hooked the crossbow string at one end and the shaft of the winch at the other, and then turned her face to the soldiers: "Please help me twist this winch, open the crossbow string, and fasten it to the teeth." ”
The soldiers could no longer remain calm, and they could tell from her skillful movements that she was truly an insider.
After glancing at each other, they walked over together, and according to Hua Qianshu's words, the bow and crossbow were installed.
At first, the soldier asked, "Is this bow and crossbow already abandoned?"
Hua Qianshu confidently pointed to the scroll below: "This is not a big problem, but the scroll is just scratched, and it can be repaired slightly." However, the double-bow bed crossbow on this winch principle was too bulky and has now been eliminated and needs to be further improved. ”
These soldiers are all laymen, and when they hear Hua Qianshu talk about it, they can't help but look at each other, who dares to underestimate them.
You must know that these are not simple weapons, but the hope of the soldiers who defend the city in Wolong. If it can be put into use, how many casualties can be reduced?
Hua Qianshu glanced around, raised his hand and pointed to the open space south of the city tower: "Can you fire a bow and crossbow in this direction?"
The soldiers said in unison: "Yes!"
This time, without Hua Qianshu's order, some soldiers volunteered: "I will launch, this needs to be brute, Mrs. Feng Xiao leave some, don't scare you." ”
The soldiers let out a good-natured laugh in unison.
Hua Qianshu took two steps back, and the soldier took a sledgehammer and hammered the ballista with all his strength, and the heavy crossbow bolts immediately came out of the string and were launched with a roar.
The range and speed were so fast that the soldiers were a little surprised. After that, a cheer erupted.
Hua Qianshu shook his head, feeling unsatisfactory.
"It's too backward, and there is still a lot to be done. ”
She often wanders into the Ministry of Works, but she doesn't know that the Ministry of Industry has the most advanced equipment, incorporating the wisdom of all skilled craftsmen, and many of them are not really involved in the war because of production obstacles or the need for improvement. A bed crossbow like this is already a good lethal giant weapon.
Hua Qianshu made everyone's emotions suddenly excited, and they were extremely attentive to Hua Qianshu.
Hua Qianshu instructed them to experiment with all the bed crossbows and so on, and classify them into categories. Then someone went to hire skilled craftsmen in the army. There are some problems, Hua Qianshu understands the principle of maintenance, but does not know how to do it, and it needs to be completed by craftsmen.
This busyness is an afternoon, not only did they not take care of lunch and dinner, but after nightfall, everyone was still fighting at night.
After all, the Xiliang people don't have much time left for them, and it is hope that they can repair some as soon as possible.
Rotated continuously, and was busy until late at night, Hua Qianshu couldn't take a sip of water, and when he straightened up, he was a little dizzy.
She always thought that she was beaten with iron, but she forgot that she had suffered a heavy blow, had just recovered from a major injury, and was pregnant, how could she withstand such a toss.
When he got up suddenly, he felt that the Venus in front of him was rising, his body was shaky, and he hurriedly went to support the bed crossbow next to him, but he copied a void.
She stumbled, but fortunately she was grabbed by a big hand, and then a strong arm wrapped around her waist.
There are thin calluses on the hands, especially at the tiger's mouth, which are more coarse, and are obviously men's hands.
Hua Qianshu barely stabilized his body, so he struggled away quietly, turned his face to look, and saw that it was Gu Mozhi who was dressed in armor standing behind him, looking at her with concern on his face.
A majestic armor reflected Gu Mozhi's handsome eyebrows and eyes, less of a jade-like warm temperament, and more of a fierce killing aura.
"Reach out. For the first time, Gu Mozhi spoke to her in such a commanding tone.
She winced and forced a smile, "I'm fine." ”
"Reach out!" Gu Mozhi was a little angry.
She could only reach for her wrist obediently.
Gu Mozhi put his fingertips on her pulse, pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Your old injury has not healed, and you are pregnant with Liujia, how can you work so hard?"
This tone of serious lessons made her instantly a little dazed, and she suddenly missed something.
Hurriedly discarded these nonsense thoughts and changed the subject: "I suddenly feel a little hungry, I'll go eat something first." ”
A soldier on the side had already brought her dinner, which was a simple two sorghum nests, accompanied by a bowl of miso soup and radish, which was already cold when set aside.
In the current weather, the cold sorghum noodles are so hard that they can hurt people.
Hua Qianshu picked up the bowl. Immediately, a soldier stepped forward and brought a bowl of hot water.
She took it and broke it open and soaked it in hot water.
Gu Mozhi's Adam's apple moved with difficulty, and he stepped forward and snatched the bowl in her hand: "I will send you back with a sword." ”
"Where?"
"Go back to Beijing. ”
"Why?"
"Not to mention the hardships and hardships you have suffered here with me, there is also the danger of war imminently. Escort you back to Shangjing, I will let the Gu family protect you, and no one dares to touch you. Gu Mozhi said it categorically.
Hua Qianshu laughed "poofed": "It's just a bowl of wowo, as for making such a fuss? Don't the officers and men of the three armies eat this every day? I don't have such a precious price, and I don't feel wronged." What's more, can I go at this time?"
Gu Mozhi's hand holding the water bowl was bruised, and he didn't know what method he should use to feel sorry for the woman opposite. He is a man, but Hua Qianshu's tenacity makes him feel a deep sense of guilt.
Hua Qianshu smiled and took the bowl in his hand: "When I repel the Xiliang people, I will follow the chief soldier to eat and drink spicy food, rely on your name, and show off my power in this Wolong Pass." ”
"But there is no need. Gu Mozhi said with difficulty: "When the war really starts, I don't know if I can protect you." ”
"I can protect myself. Hua Qianshu said lightly: "The imperial court will not ignore it, we just need to delay until the reinforcements arrive." If you can't share hardships and hardships, what kind of brothers and sisters are they?"
However, this sorghum noodle nest is really unpalatable. They all say that eating bran is as sweet as honey when they are hungry, but they are still not hungry enough.
