There is no Du Niang, you can only rely on thinking. In this era, there were two kinds of equipment that were very powerful in siege, one was the bed crossbow, although there was no one now, but there was already a giant crossbow. The second one is the catapult, which is also available.

But these two are big guys, how can they cooperate with the cavalry to act, once these guys are equipped, the cavalry will lose the advantage of maneuvering like the wind, taking care of it. But how to do both?

suddenly remembered an ancient soldier: "Pop Xi Army." Zhao Xing jumped high and cheered for his cleverness. Right, traverser, how can you be defeated by this difficulty, if you look at history, you should remember history, and the Po Xi Army is your best plagiarism model.

The name is strange, it's obvious that it's a matter of language translation, and as for what it means, no one knows. At that time, the number of the Poxi army was not large, only more than 200 people/horse, why did it use horses as a unit? Because it's a camel army.

Camel soldiers can also fight? Yes, on the high slopes of the loess, camel soldiers can fight. So how did the Tangut people use camels?

This is all inseparable from the development of long-range attack weapons. In the Song Dynasty, long-range attack weapons such as trebuchets and bed crossbows have been widely used, especially during sieges and charges, these weapons have played a great role, and the nomads have suffered greatly.

Later, the clever Tanguts were inspired by this, and they made a perfect combination of trebuchets and camels. The advantage of trebuchets is that they are destructive, and the disadvantage is that they are very large and bulky. So the Tanguts came up with the idea of making it smaller and making it a pocket-sized version to shoot at the enemy. There is also the problem of movement, the camel of Western Xia happens to be a mobile machine with a good load, and the two natural humps are just enough to be used to fix the trebuchet. So the Tanguts came up with the idea of using camels and trebuchets to create a mobile long-range attack force. This is the Poxi Army.

The catapult mounted on the camel by the Poxi Army was a more efficient whirlwind cannon, a circular strike weapon with four catapult arms, and it was said that he could throw 300 fist-sized stones in a minute.

Three hundred, that's an ancient heavy machine gun.

Okay, it's him, Xixia doesn't have the money to have a lot of equipment, but I have money, I want a lot of equipment, what three hundred will fight the Great Song Festival is defeated and lost the city and lost the land, I pretend to be 30,000 - of course, this is YY, but 3,000 is still okay.

If you want to ask Zhao Xing if he will be able to do such a complex technology, to be exact, he will not.

So, Zhao Xing hurriedly stepped up to the pillar peak in Wutai Mountain and came to his Daijun Technical School, no, it was called Daijun "Hundred Techniques Palace". 》

Hu Feizi, the third contemporary Mojia scholar, personally greeted him at the foot of the mountain.

"How's it going, how are you doing with your students?"

Hu Feizi said calmly: "I have been taken care of by the master, and everyone is at ease and knowledgeable." Especially when the master taught on the top of the mountain, although we concentrated on the study and did not understand the knowledge of Xingzi, it still made the theory and practice of Mozi go to a higher level, let us know the direction, and Momen will not be far away. ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "As long as you don't regard what I said back then as deviant nonsense, there are some things, I only know the surface of the theory, and I need to work hard to study and explore the principles in depth." ”

Due to Zhao Xing's continuous investment, he hired migrant workers to create a good environment for these real scientists to do research, and the road up the mountain is no longer rugged and difficult.

What Zhao Xing hopes is that scientists can really study more things in such an environment.

It's best to be inspired by yourself to research something ahead of your time, such as making yourself an atomic bomb, a hydrogen bomb or something, that's the unexpected joy.

Something ahead of his time, Zhao Xing saw that on the square of the mountaintop school, a large group of students were busy building a huge iron tower, which gave Zhao Xing the illusion of seeing the high-voltage line.

"What is this?"

He said solemnly: "Since we heard that the master's sermon mentions the miraculous thing of electricity, we have studied it diligently, but there is no way to obtain it, so everyone thought of thunder and lightning. In the end, everyone figured out that it can be electrorically charged through metallic iron. ”

At that time, Zhao Xing was shocked, Wutai terrain is handsome, there are many thunder and lightning in the mountainous area, if you really use such a big guy to draw the thunder and lightning down, this mountain top will be blown up, then he has worked hard to invest in countless hundred technology palaces, and here gather scientists from all over the country, it will be a nest.

"Tear it down, tear it down." Zhao Xing jumped to his feet, and then had to tell them bitterly how dangerous such an experiment was.

Hu Feizi was also taken aback, scientific experiments are okay, but you can't be so scared and tossed, it's still not okay to kill people.

Zhao Xing said tactfully again: "But this is not a scare, if you make them smaller, and then install them on the tall palace, you can make lightning rods." You know, every year there are many tall buildings in the world that are destroyed by lightning. ”

Xiaozi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said to Zhao Xing: "Actually, more than a hundred years ago, we have already discovered the electricity you mentioned, and we can obtain it. But it was indeed too faint, and the faint one could only prove his existence and be of no use. ”

Saying that, he took Zhao Xing to the test showroom, and Zhao Xing saw Zeng Houyi's baby at first sight, who didn't know what to do at that time, and was called a spindle.

Feelings, the spindle that made the spring out of gold, turned out to be the generator of this era.

But Zhao Xing really only knew the theory, and didn't know how to get the generator out, so he had to look at all kinds of things that he didn't know why, and finally explained his intention.

The Mo family pays attention to right and wrong, and originally Zhao Xing thought that he would ask them to help him research killing weapons, but Hu Feizi would refuse. If he refuses, he cannot force them, even though he is their master.

As a result, Hu Feizi directly took Zhao Xing to the exhibition hall of the city defense department, pointed to a light crossbow arrow, a light stone throwing car, and a strange-looking guy with six arms and said, "Is Xingjun asking for this kind of weapon that can be disassembled and folded?" ”

It's simply drowsiness meets a pillow, feelings, what you want, here has long been invented.

Hu Feizi looked at Zhao Xing's embarrassed expression and explained calmly: "Although our Mo family insists on non-attack, we still have the heart to protect our homeland. We are deeply aware that Daijun is in the land of four wars, and there are many enemies who peep into Daijun. In order to protect our homeland, we need our soldiers to have more advanced weapons, which is why we have developed these. ”

Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, it's not that we don't want war, and the war will die." Sometimes, ending the war with war is also a solution. ”

He smiled: "If the world is unified, there will be no disputes, and there will be no attacks between the princes, then it will really carry out the non-attack of our Mo family." Then he pointed to these weapons that were advanced in this era: "Weapons can attack other countries or defend homes, there is no mistake in weapons, and right and wrong all lie in the user's concept and mind." ”

These solemn salutes: "I have been taught below." ”

After getting the sample, he sent ten more proficient men to follow him down the mountain. Zhao Xing immediately spent a large amount of money to build a factory to produce these high-tech advanced weapons.

At the same time, recruit soldiers for training, which is an advanced weapon with a high technology content and requires professional soldiers to operate it.

As for the camel, that's not all, just open your mouth and buy it from your own good Anda.

So, Zhao Xing secretly formed a 3,000-camel Poxi army, with a total strength of 10,000 troops, and handed it over to Lin Hu to command.

Why is it called such a strange name as the Poxi Army, Zhao Xing explained very seriously, "I want to let this army splash surprises on the enemy." ”

Because of Zhao Xing's sudden big move, it made several vassal states vigilant. Zhao is belligerent, and Zhao Xing, the Xingjun who can influence Zhao the most, is a militant in the war. His sudden and wanton purchase of grain and wantonly expansion of the army must have some kind of plan, and who his iron hoof saber will be aimed at has become the key to the fear of the various princes.

And here, the most worrying thing is Zhongshan next to the couch.

Now the whole situation is not in Zhongshan's favor. Yan Guo, who had been supporting Zhongshan to fight against Zhao State, was greatly injured in the battle of Spoon Liang, and he was no longer able to give Zhongshan assistance.

Another King Qi Wei, who has been agitating Zhongshan to resist Zhao, also died this year.

Now the state of Qi is busy with the funeral and the succession of the new monarch, and it has no ability and energy to take care of Zhongshan.

Everything can only rely on themselves, so Zhongshan Kingdom also began to reorganize its troops and horses for war, and they also began to actively reserve food, which is a key war material.

The information that Zhongshan Guo purchased the grain of various countries in Sitong Customs was transmitted back by Zhao Hao, and asked Zhao Xing whether to cut off their deals.

After thinking about it again, Zhao Xing finally shook his head and denied this method.

His aim was to build Sitong into a trade center in the world. For a free trade port, he must not interfere with anyone who trades there, whether it is his own ally or his enemy. Although Zhongshan's move will bring resistance and losses to his future war, from the perspective of the long-term development of the four customs clearances, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages.

It's just that he still has to think of a way to consume the grain reserves of Zhongshan Kingdom.

In the midst of the busyness, it is the end of the year again, to sum up, this is Zhao Yong's sixth year, counting, Zhao Xing has been in the Warring States for six years, and his daughter has been running all over the ground, chasing Lian Po's little uncle and little uncle.

And his second wife was also pregnant with Zhao Xing's flesh and blood in Handan, and his wife Zhao Ji took it upon herself to take Qianqian to Daijun, and the family was finally reunited.

But soon after the day of the reunion, Zhao Xing embarked on the road to Handan again, firstly, he wanted to fulfill the duties of a lord and present this year's offering to the monarch, and secondly, Qin Mo was in a hurry, and Qin was in a hurry to attack Yicheng, they were a little overwhelmed, and hoped that Zhao Xing would preside over the plan.

Although the state of Zhao has not yet destroyed Lin Hu, it has recovered Lou Fu and let these two regions return to Zhao. But it is also quite necessary to let them temporarily surrender to themselves, help them contain Qin Yan, and not cause chaos for themselves when they annihilate Zhongshan.

The moment he stepped on the official road, Zhao Xing was a little melancholy, there was no war in Zhao State, and he could really recuperate and improve his national strength. But my war is not over, and I don't know how long it will take to go home again.
