Chapter 283: Secret Weapon

Li Zhan found a lot of good things in this ancient weapons book, such as flying hooks... There are four sharp hooks, tied with iron chains, and then connected to the ropes, when the enemy rushes to the city wall, ready to climb the ladder to climb the city, surprise, rush into the enemy group, can kill and wound several people at a time.

There is also the Yaksha Ring: also known as "staying in the guest house", this weapon is made of a diameter of one foot, more than a zhang long wood as a roller, surrounded by densely nailed "reverse nail", the nail head exposes the wood surface 5 inches, and the two ends of the rolling wood are equipped with direct two-foot wheels, and then tied to iron cables, connected to the winch.

When the enemy gathers under the city, it is thrown into the enemy group, and then the winch is wrenched, which can play the role of continuously crushing the enemy.

Li Zhan had already asked people to make these things, but in addition to these simple tools for defending the city, Li Zhan also kept a hand, and Li Zhan found a blueprint called a bed crossbow in the ancient weapons.

The so-called bed crossbow ... It was a kind of bed crossbow in the Song Dynasty, and in order to exert a greater shooting effect, he combined three large bows, and it took thirty people to pull them apart.

Also known as "Eight Ox Crossbow", the arrow takes the hard wood as the arrow shaft, takes the iron piece as the feather, the world is known as "one gun and three sword arrows", the bed crossbow can also launch the "tread arrow", when it is launched, it is magnificent, the arrow is like a javelin, the close-range launch can be directly nailed into the city wall, when the salvo is fired, the row of tread arrows is firmly nailed into the city wall, and the siege soldiers can climb up by this.

The most powerful thing is the long range of the bed crossbow, with a maximum range of about 1,500 meters. According to historical records, Xiao Tzurin, the general of the Liao army, was shot by a two-meter giant arrow from the Song army's position more than 600 meters away, and finally the two sides signed the famous "Lanyuan Alliance".

After Li Zhan saw the bed crossbow, he had an idea, he wanted to shoot Songtsen Gampo with an arrow, if he could kill Songtsen Gampo with one blow, it would be done.

..........................

In a secret courtyard, this courtyard is on the far right of Lanzhou City, protected by the dragon's tooth and the Lijing Gate, when Li Zhan walks into this courtyard, you will see what is being done inside.

That's right... This is where Li Zhan secretly made the bed crossbow.

Li Zhan regarded the bed crossbow as his secret weapon this time, so he didn't tell anyone, the so-called king is not secret, he will lose his minister, the minister will lose his body if he is not secret, and if he is not secret, he will become harmful.

Li Zhan didn't want his secret weapon to be known, even if he revealed a little rumor, he couldn't snipe Songtsen Gampo, that would be Li Zhan's biggest regret.

"How... Can it be done tomorrow? ”

Li Zhan walked up to a naked man and asked.

"Huh...!" The man laughed and said, "Qin Cha can rest assured, tomorrow at noon, I will definitely make it for you, and I will also give you thirty arrows!" ”

"Well... It seems that I chose you and I chose the right one! Old Tube... Well done... I promise you will be the best master in the future. Li Zhan laughed.

The man called Lao Guan also said: "I also want to thank Qincha, my two children can study, it all depends on Qincha." ”

"No problem... I have a school in Dunhuafang, there is no problem at all in arranging two people, of course, if you want to come to work in my Dunhuafang, I can also give you a house. ”

"Divide the house?" The old manager frowned and said, "I have a house...!" ”

How to say it, the status of craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty was still very high, and the status of these generals has been improved due to various reasons such as cultural openness.

And there are even very good craftsmen who have become a member of the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court by virtue of their craftsmanship, and have since entered the official career.

It's strange that the status of craftsmen in the Tang and Song dynasties can be said to be very high, not even higher in the future, but in the Ming Dynasty, the status of craftsmen was actually degraded very low, even if these jobs were considered important because they could provide useful items, but they were still inevitably relegated to vulgar and dirty labor.

So don't go to the Ming Dynasty to be a craftsman.

Li Zhan looked at the old man and frowned and said that he had a house, and then laughed and said, "You have a house, but my house is better." ”

"What's the best house in Dunhuafang?" Lao Guan went on the expedition earlier, so he didn't know that Dunhuafang was no longer the Dunhuafang it used to be.

Li Zhan didn't continue, but patted the old pipe: "When you go back to Chang'an, you'll know, okay... My promise is here, so you can take me to see the bed crossbow first. ”

"Hmm...!" The old man smiled and nodded.

Then take Li Zhan to see the bed crossbow that has been made for most of it.

When Li Zhan saw the bed crossbow that had been made for the first time, the first thing he felt was shock, it was a rectangular weapon of four meters by six meters, with a shaft turning and opening the bow, there were seven arrows on the crossbow arm, and a huge arrow was placed in the center of the arrow.

A more intuitive description, I don't know if you have watched "Game of Thrones"... In the fourth episode of the eighth season, Queen Cersei is trapped in King's Landing, and the attacker, Daenerys Targaryen, is full of confidence and is in the city. However, as soon as the army arrived in King's Landing, he was attacked by Euron's Iron Island fleet, and he shot down the dragon Rego with a dragon crossbow, and also attacked the little devil's warship.

The dragon shooting crossbow that shot down the dragon Rego is somewhat similar to the bed crossbow, but it is not 100% the same, because the power of the bed crossbow is definitely stronger than the dragon shooting crossbow.

Looking at the huge bed crossbow, Li Zhan showed a faint smile, he knew that his killer weapon would definitely leave the deepest impression on Tubo.

"Old man...!"

Li Zhan patted the old man's shoulder and said, "You guys are doing a good job, go tell the brothers... Give me hard work tonight, and tomorrow I will see the finished product, as long as the test shot is successful, each person will be rewarded with five times.

Money... I have, and I'm willing to give. ”

"Thank you Chincha...!" The old manager laughed and shouted: "Brothers, Qincha said, I worked hard tonight, and tomorrow the test launch is successful, and everyone will be rewarded with five times." ”

"Well... Thank you very much. "A happy voice, you must know that Wuguan is a lot of money, can you not be happy.

Li Zhan was also satisfied with looking at this bed crossbow.

Half an hour later, Li Zhan left the workshop of the bed crossbow, he was going to find Hou Junji, wanting to find a few shooters with good eyesight, and use them to control the bed crossbow, the range of the bed crossbow is 1500 meters, but 1500 meters is only the limit distance.

The fact is that the two armies intersect at most, and they are separated by a maximum of 600 meters, which is a safe distance that cannot be touched by bows and arrows, but 600 meters is not a distance that ordinary people can see with their eyes.

You have to find someone with a particularly good eyesight.

Seeing Hou Junji, Li Zhan exchanged a few words with him, and then directly said his thoughts, Hou Junji was okay, he didn't ask Li Zhan what he wanted someone with good eyes to do, so he directly found the best shooter under his command.

This is also the reason why Li Zhan asked Hou Junji to borrow someone, if he found someone else, Li Zhan was afraid that they would ask questions, you must know that this is a secret, Li Zhan does not want more people to know.

After borrowing Hou Junji's shooters, everything is already ready, just wait for the bed crossbow to succeed, and then let the shooters test a few rounds, and then you can surprise Songtsen Gampo.

Thinking of this, Li Zhan grinned.
