Chapter 46 Type 99 Ballista
"Your Majesty, that's what the Immortal Monarch Marquis said yesterday......"
When Meng Yi described Li Yu's words and deeds at the foot of Lishan yesterday, he was still a little inexplicably excited.
At this time, Ying Zheng's expression has already returned to normal after conditioning and cultivation, and his spirit is better than in the past.
Originally, I was quite calm when I heard Meng Yi tell about yesterday's events, but I didn't expect to hear that Li Yu actually arranged the Lishan Army directly at the foot of Lishan Mountain.
Yingzheng is not calm now, Lishan is only a hundred miles away from Xianyang, if the 200,000 Lishan army is equipped with armaments, in case there is a good one, can this Xianyang Palace be saved?
Grandma has a leg, what does he want to do?
Ying Zheng's face immediately turned dark, and he said: "Let's discuss the matter of armament again, although it is not easy to hide the 200,000 army, it is not impossible. ”
Speaking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help frowning and said: "Isn't the Immortal Marquis a shipbuilder, there is a Hanzhong County south of Xianyang, and the Han River can also enter the Yangtze River, which can be the garrison of the Tun army." ”
Meng Yi's expression was stunned, yesterday's arrangement was indeed improper, the 200,000 army was not recruited, and the loyalty still needs to be tested.
Meng Yi secretly wrote down this, lest he have to go to the Prince's Mansion to bring a message for His Majesty later.
And Li Yu naturally didn't expect the navy, if he could build the Lishan army into a navy, and equipped with a repeating crossbow on the boat, he would be invincible within a range of 800 meters.
During this period, Li Yugang sent Li Cunxiao to Lishan, and he was somewhat disappointed in his heart.
Listening to the report, Zhang Han was also generous, and directly appointed "Xiaoye" as the commander of the First Army of the Lishan Army.
You must know that the Lishan army of 200,000 people is divided into four armies of 50,000 people each, Li Cunxiao was appointed as the commander, but his subordinates drove a full 50,000 people, and the special operations team of the Hou Mansion can only be temporarily commanded by Zhao Yun.
With the arrival of Meng Yi with Yingzheng's message, Li Yu also listened to it and slapped his head, and the head of his dignified shipbuilding department actually forgot about this stubble.
So he directly took Meng Yi to the Foundry Division again and found the dirty Feng Yansheng.
As soon as they met, Li Yu was shocked that Feng Yansheng, a dignified member of the third grade, had worked hard to get to this appearance, so he greeted with admiration: "Lord Feng should take care of his body." ”
Hearing Li Yu say this, Feng Yansheng rolled his eyes and said in his heart: Grandma has legs, and I don't want to be so tired.
Then he looked at Li Yu with grievances in his eyes, as if to say: It's not that you blame the prince for tossing some whimsical tricks every day, and he left after patting his ass......
Li Yu seemed to feel Feng Yansheng's strange emotions, and patted him on the shoulder with some embarrassment: "Hey, Lord Feng is lucky, wait for Benhou to go back and ask Hua Lao to prescribe you a few pairs of tonic medicine to make up for it." ”
Feng Yansheng said with a smile: "Master Hou, that Type 99 crossbow car was just successfully developed a few days ago.
In the past few days, at your request, the Foundry Division has stopped all the casting projects, and has made every effort to cast and assemble Type 99, thinking that it will not take a month, and the forty Type 99 crossbow cars required by Hou Ye can all be assembled and equipped for the Lishan Army. ”
Li Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "I don't know if you can make progress in developing the iron-clad ship." ”
Feng Yansheng raised his eyebrows, and said with a sense of arrogance: "The method of inlaying iron sheets outside the wooden boat is not difficult for the craftsmen under my Feng. ”
Li Yu smiled, looking at Feng Yansheng's eyes, they all became different.
Grandma has legs, if this Feng Yansheng is placed in modern society, how can he say that he is also a scientific research boss who has been raised.
Special mother is a talent!
Li Yu praised Feng Yansheng in his heart, and then said, "Oh? How's the screw and propeller studied? ”
Feng Yansheng's old face collapsed at this time, and he couldn't say anything: "This ...... The craftsman is still under development. ”
Originally, Li Yu's idea was to set up the battleship as an iron box, but there was no such thing as argon arc welding and oxygen welding......
The only way to do this is to choose the next best thing, choose a wooden hull, an iron frame, and finally use the iron sheet as the shell and inlay it on the hull, so that the iron boat can dominate the sea area.
It's just that the screws needed to assemble the iron parts and the human-powered gears and propellers set up at the stern of the ship are too precise, and with Daqin's craftsmanship, it will take a while to explore.
Anyway, there is no hurry, Li Yu smiled, and hurriedly comforted: "This is not in a hurry, at present, the first generation of warships is still dominated by iron ships, but the reserved aperture of the hull must be left, and there are also four positions on the deck for Type 99 repeaters." ”
Feng Yansheng's expression was turning, and he nodded undeniably, anyway, the hull design is divided into three body types: small, medium and large.
I also heard that His Majesty had turned the Lishan prisoners into the Fourth Legion of the Lishan Empire for 200,000 nights, and I thought that he was preparing to destroy the Baiyue people and those stupid thieves who did not give up.
And Li Yu rubbed his hands and directly asked Feng Yansheng for the four Type 99 crossbow cars in stock.
I saw that the crossbow body was no more than six meters long, and the front and rear wheels were all made of fine wood, with a lever with a 45-degree steering, which was extremely flexible. The wheels and the body are wrapped in iron sheets, and the real knives and guns are difficult to hurt.
The core repeater itself is transformed from the nine-star repeater used by the special operations team of the Junhou Mansion, and an iron baffle is added to its principle to replace the arrow box.
The entire crossbow machine arrow path is arranged into nine vertical and eleven horizontal, dense arrow paths, just looking at it is terrifying and domineering.
In the face of Zhao Tuo's Lingnan Army, it is enough to think of four Type 99s.
Li Yu calculated the angular coverage of the arrows, and finally came to the conclusion that at least four Type 99 ballistas needed to be arranged on the battlefield at the same time to complete the fire suppression.
With the Type 99 crossbow cart and horses, four hideous and domineering new armaments drove to the shooting range.
Eight hundred meters away, the shield array composed of military shields that were placed on wooden stakes by the soldiers to form a hundred meters long on the left and right, and three rows of military shields at a distance of three meters each in the front and back had become a black line.
Then, Li Yu walked onto a Type 99 ballista, held a twenty-centimeter-long push-pull rod in both hands, and shouted excitedly: "Meng Shangqing, Lord Feng, Zilong, why don't we three or four of us each drive a car, how about trying the effectiveness of this new type of ballista?" ”
Meng Yi's expression changed, and under his seemingly indifferent appearance, his heart was already restless, and he immediately got on the ballista and asked, "How can I use this ballista?" ”
Feng Yansheng, on the other hand, had a flushed face, and his hands also held on to the push and pull rod, and said, "Master Meng only needs to push forward, and these ninety-nine arrows will shoot out in one second. ”
Seeing Meng Yi's pupils shrink, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Such a complex repeater car, the control is so simple?" ”
When Li Yu heard the simple word, he smiled and said nothing. Feng Yansheng was disdainful, disdainful of outsiders, shook his head and said, "Master Meng thinks it's difficult? ”
Meng Yi knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he shouldn't compare such an artifact with a traditional ballista, so he had to laugh it off.
Feng Yansheng asked the technician to adjust the accuracy again, and then Li Yu shouted: "Later, Benhou counts down to three numbers, and the four of us push the push lever at the same time." ”
"Three"
"Two"
"One"
Woohoo~
A series of air-breaking notes pulsed like beautiful notes, leaving a cloud of mist in front of the arrow track.
In an instant, I saw a dense series of arrow shadows and black dots falling on the shield in the distance, making a bang, and then the sound came far away.
The newly made iron military shield was directly shot into pieces, and even the military shield in the third row was shot into a sieve.
When Li Yu and the others approached, when they saw the mess at the scene, they immediately gasped......
