Merton was dressed in bright armor as new, spotless, and on the proofreading platform step by step, he didn't look like he had just experienced a martial arts exercise, as if he had just walked around the battlefield in armor.

However, I don't know how shocked everyone's hearts are, everyone's eyes are focused on this immature young man, even if the armor found temporarily is still a little big on his body, it seems a little out of place, but no one is looking at him with contemptuous eyes, but a dignified face.

Killing five hundred enemies without losing a single person, even no one thought they could do it, but this kind of shocking result actually appeared under their eyes, and annihilation was the most powerful elite of the Tang Dynasty.

"Wechen is fortunate not to be dishonored!"

Merton solemnly gave a military salute to Li Shimin and said.

Li Shimin covered up the shock on his face, and immediately replaced it with a calm face, but he couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction, although he didn't like Merton, after all, the marriage between Merton and Princess Changle had been basically finalized, and the more talented Merton was, the brighter his face was.

"Get up! It is nothing to win a victory, but you also need to guard against arrogance and rashness, and learn hard from the generals. Li Shimin said lightly.

"Yes!" Merton stood up and said respectfully.

"What a hero! With the same strength, the infantry defeated the cavalry, and Mohou really didn't lie! Li Shimin is not good at complimenting, Li Jing naturally has no worries, and praises without hesitation.

The generals also looked at Merton with shocked eyes, in the face of the continuous rain of arrows, I am afraid that everyone will fall into deep despair, everyone frowned and thought, even if it is a pile of human lives, I am afraid that if they rush to the front, they will have to pay a heavy price.

Cheng Yanjin, the old boy, was already smiling from ear to ear, and when Merton offered his plan, he expected that it might succeed, but he didn't expect it to be such a hearty victory.

On the contrary, the eldest grandson Shunde was gray, how could he not have imagined that Merton would use this trick to wipe out all his elite cavalry, such a fiasco, even if the eldest grandson Shunde had never encountered it in his life.

It's the mule or the horse that comes out to slip around, it's obvious that the Mo family is this maxima, but they are not Bole.

"Merton, what is the reason for this, that a bow and crossbow alone can directly shoot a cavalry a hundred paces away?" Qin Qiong looked incredulous, and asked repeatedly.

The other generals couldn't help but listen to the fact that Merton's crossbowmen were shooting crossbow arrows continuously, and they could kill the same number of troops without losing one person, which was probably a subversion of their previous understanding of bows and crossbows.

Li Jing also smiled bitterly in his heart, this time his military book was probably going to be revised again.

Merton explains: "This is the boy's original three-stage strike tactic, which is inspired by the three-shot burst of the pre-Qin period. ”

"Triple shot!" Everyone couldn't help frowning, they were naturally no strangers to the three consecutive shots, the three consecutive shots were originally the archery salute of the pre-Qin period, divided into the first shot, the second shot, and the three shots, and later cited in actual combat, usually used in the field usually come to a round of three shots, kill and wound the enemy, and then will use the knife to fight.

However, Merton's three-stage attack turned out to be a continuous shooting, no matter how strong the martial arts were, blocking the first wave, it couldn't stop the second and third waves, blocking people, and it couldn't stop horses, it was simply a life harvester.

"Wechen made some improvements to the triple shot, dividing the crossbowmen into three rows, the first row is the first shot, and the second row is loaded with crossbow arrows immediately after shooting, and the second row shoots again, and when the third row shoots three times, the first row has pulled the crossbow arrows onto the crossbow machine and makes the first shot again, and the second row of crossbowmen is the same, and so on, so that a continuous rain of arrows can be formed, and each crossbowman has plenty of time to reload."

"I see!"

Everyone suddenly realized, and the look on Merton suddenly became a little more amazing, three consecutive shots are not a top secret, but all crossbowmen have heard of it, but they have never been able to create a three-stage strike as ingenious as Merton.

"Wonderful! In this way, the cavalry attacking at the front must be the first to shoot, and the cavalry that follows will attack just in time for the second wave of arrows, and so on, like a shield formed by crossbow arrows, so that the cavalry cannot advance an inch. Cheng Yanjin slapped his thigh and said. In the past, cavalry would often take advantage of the moment when the crossbow bolts stopped, and the crossbow was lethal, but the killing effect was not ideal, but the three-stage attack made the power of the bow and crossbow increase geometrically.

"Ingenious!" Li Jing couldn't help but exclaim, bows and crossbows were extremely common things in the army, but he didn't expect that they would exert such a powerful power in the hands of Mo Jiazi.

"Everyone in the world is a master of Mo and a hundred schools, which shows that this is true." Duan Zhixuan sighed,

"I've found that these crossbowmen always accurately hit the front-row cavalry, how did you do that?" Li Shimin's eyes turned and asked the key points of the three strikes.

The generals couldn't help but nodded, it was the crossbowmen who killed the frontmost cavalry first, and it took a certain amount of time for the subsequent cavalry to rush forward, and these time differences were just enough for the second wave of crossbow arrows to shoot, which made the power of the three-stage attack daunting.

Merton said proudly: "This is not the work of the boy, but the painstaking work of the boy's classmate and friend Zu Mingjun, who finally created a new arithmetic ballistics, which can accurately calculate the landing point of the bow and crossbow and trebuchet. ”

"Ballistics!" Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned, he also heard of the ancestral name, when he created the parabola, the ancestral family once played the imperial court, but at that time the parabola was not very practical, and Li Shimin did not pay much attention to it.

Merton explains: "The parabola is an absolutely ideal ballistics, but in practice, the force of an object is also considered, and the inertia is extremely complex. My grandfather was the pioneer of parabola, and after further research, he finally created ballistics, which is supported by this knowledge, as long as it is within the range, whether it is a bow or a trebuchet! ”

"Hit where you want!" The generals couldn't help but light up their glasses and realized the preciousness of ballistics.

"Where is the ancestor now?" Li Shimin was pleasantly surprised.

"Ancestor is in the valley on the west side, and he will naturally use a trebuchet to demonstrate the power of ballistics for His Majesty." Morton said loudly, for Zu Mingjun to help him so much, he naturally will not be disadvantaged, just to be a favor here.

"If ballistics really works so well, I will definitely reward it." Li Shimin looked forward to it.

The generals couldn't help but bow their heads, if ballistics can really improve the hit rate, it will definitely be a great achievement.

"Arithmetic!" Everyone muttered in their hearts that the path of cultivating a hundred schools was indeed correct, and no one thought that arithmetic could be related to the soldiers.

Li Shimin waved his hand, and the five hundred crossbowmen who had not yet finished the field once again practiced the three-stage attack, looking at the dense rain of arrows under the review platform, all the generals were both excited and afraid, excited that they had mastered such an amazing combat skill, and what they were afraid of was that this weapon was fortunately on the side of the Tang Dynasty.

"The three-stage attack is not the most powerful, and it can even be a five-stage attack or a nine-stage attack." Looking at the slightest gap in the middle of the arrow rain, Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty is wise, in this way, the power of the three-stage attack will definitely be doubled!" Merton hurriedly patted his ass.

"But the risk is just as great, if it is an oversight and is close to the cavalry, I am afraid that the work will be lost." The eldest grandson Shunde said hard-mouthed.

Cheng Yanjin laughed and said: "What's the fear of this, equip all the crossbowmen with spears, even if the cavalry is close and form an exotic phalanx, it has the power of self-preservation." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they nodded suddenly, if the soldiers were equipped with bows and crossbows, and then cooperated with the Macedonian phalanx, wouldn't it be offensive to advance and retreat to defend.

Besides, when it is really on the battlefield, there will be multiple arms to cooperate, and how can the crossbowmen be allowed to personally get into danger.

"From the old man's point of view, the most important thing in this three-stage strike tactic is the divine arm crossbow, if it weren't for the long range and fast loading of this new type of bow and crossbow, the power of the three-stage attack would definitely be greatly reduced." Qin Qiong looked at the bows and crossbows in the hands of the soldiers and said thoughtfully.

Everyone nodded, the Divine Arm Crossbow was created by Merton, and it was reasonable for the three-stage strike to be created by Merton.

Li Jing's expression moved: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a reluctant request, can you bring all the divine arm crossbows of the sixteen guards on this expedition to the west." ”

Although the Divine Arm Crossbow has been in production for three months, it is evenly distributed among the sixteen guards, and each guard is only five hundred.

Li Shimin said happily: "What's so difficult about this, Li Aiqing can be the master of everything." ”

Merton demonstrated the incredible power of the Divine Arm Crossbow and the Three-Stage Strike, and if he could add this weapon to the soldiers of the Western Expedition, the odds would be greatly increased.

Even if Li Jing took all the Divine Arm Crossbows away, and at this moment, the Divine Arm Crossbow would still be produced by the Divine Arm Crossbow at full strength, and it would soon be able to fill the vacancy, and it would not cause an imbalance of force.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jing said happily.

Only then did everyone think about it and continue the martial arts, and the next one was Qin Qiong and Fan Xing's martial arts, but Qin Qiong was too seriously injured in his early years, and even lost too much, and he was not very urgent for the Western Expedition, and finally Fan Xing seized the opportunity and won a game.

Although Fan Xing defeated Qin Qiong, he was defeated by Cheng Bitingjin's left leading guard, and the last place in the Western Expedition was finally collected by Cheng Bitingjin.

For Fan Xing's defeat, Merton did not have a trace of guilt in his heart, this time he also saved him by mistake, in the previous life, although Fan Xing followed Li Jingxi to Tuguhun, but did not make much achievements, but bad luck continued, but in the follow-up battle with the rebellious Qiang people, because the army was dismissed and dismissed, fortunately there were military merits, which was spared, and this time it was a blessing in disguise that he did not go.

"Take, take!" Cheng Yanjin smiled from ear to ear and said.

"Cheap old boy." The generals looked at Cheng Biting Jin's villain's face and turned their heads one after another.

"Who made you not believe Mo Xian's nephew, do you know that the reason why Su Dingfang's kid was able to transport military rations so quickly was also Mo Xian's nephew's idea, once or twice was an accident, and then three or four times?" Cheng Yanjin inadvertently broke out another fierce news.

Regarding the news of Su Dingfang's transportation of military rations, the generals naturally heard about it, and the three cities transited, rushing day and night, so that at this rate, the first batch of military rations could be delivered to Lanzhou in three days, and more importantly, the requisitioned and issued by the people traveled only 300 miles, and the people had almost no complaints, which was praised by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Hearing Cheng Yanjin's explanation, everyone suddenly realized, I am afraid that only the Mo family, who insists on and loves, can think of such an idea.

Li Shimin knew more than them, and in Su Dingfang's play, even the eight-wheeled carriage and tracked car were also played, so he naturally knew how much effort Merton had made.

For a while, Merton's reputation was vaguely not weaker than that of a group of generals, although Merton did not really lead the army to fight, but this western expedition can be said to be inextricably linked with Merton.

The generals were relieved and jealous, but on the surface, they looked at Merton with a terrifying look.

At this point, the candidates for the Western Expedition were officially determined, namely Zuo Weiwei of Qixin He Li and General Zuo Qianniuwei of Duan Zhixuan

Li Daliang's left guard, Gao Yongsheng's left prison guard, and Cheng Yanjin's left leading guard.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or an accident, it's all left guard.
