Volume 1 The Eagle Flies at the End of the Han Dynasty Chapter 43 Weapons of War
Nanying pushed open the door, stretched comfortably in the face of the red sun, and said to himself, "Finally back!" It feels so good! ”
"Hmph" a cold snort came.
Gao Shun walked slowly and sneered: "Do you kid still know to come back?" ”
Nan Ying's heart was not good, and he said with a smile on his face: "Big brother is early!" I only came back last night, and I didn't alarm you because it was too late! ”
Gao Shun said angrily: "You don't come to this set, I think you have gained a lot this time, and everyone is safe, so I won't say anything more!" But I'm telling you, this time back to the mountain, you don't want to sneak out again! ”
Nanying said with a bitter face: "What the eldest brother said is true! Little brother obeys the teachings! ”
Gao Shun stared at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled dumbly: "But you kid is really good, every time you go out, you bring back so many surprises!" ”
Nanying perked up and said with a smile: "It turns out that the eldest brother already knows!" ”
Gao Shun looked at the sky and sighed, "Can I not know? ”
There was a burst of clear eagles in the sky, and dozens of harrier eagles circled and flew in the sky under the leadership of the divine eagle.
Nanying and Gao Shun stood side by side, looking at the majestic posture of the eagles from afar, and after a long time, Gao Shun said: "Brother, do you know? I am now more and more convinced that you are the stranger sent by Heaven to save this troubled world! Just because you are like a legend, there is nothing you can't do! ”
He shot a gentle look in his eyes and said, "I originally left my hometown and just wanted to spend my life in peace and loneliness in the valley, but your appearance rekindled my fighting spirit. I think I am a good man, if I can't show my ambitions in a short life, wouldn't I have failed my ability! ”
He sighed, "So, thank you so much!" ”
Nanying's chest seemed to be filled with something, but he couldn't say anything.
The two shook hands and suddenly laughed in unison.
Gao Shun stopped laughing and said: "There is one thing, I must remind you, it is now February of the sixth year of Guanghe, and it is only one year before the Yellow Turban Rebellion you mentioned, so we have to speed up our preparations!" ”
Nan Ying was stunned and said, "This means that it has been a year since I came to the Han Dynasty?" So fast! ”
Gao Shun scolded with a smile: "Why don't you say that it took you more than half a year to go out twice in a row?" ”
Nan Ying touched his head and said with a wry smile: "It seems to be so!" ”
He clapped his hands and said, "Big brother is right, we don't have much time to prepare!" It's time to start building the city now! ”
"Build a city now?" Cheng Yu couldn't hide his surprise.
Zao You couldn't help but say: "But my lord, although the progress of our project has been extremely fast, the stone and wood used to build the city are only seven or eight out of ten, and it will take at least a month before they can all be prepared to stop!" ”
Nanying said resolutely: "It can't be delayed any longer!" You have to start building the city now! Let's prepare the rest of the materials while building the city! ”
Jia Xu groaned: "The lord's sudden temporary order to build a city must have a deep meaning, but we still want to ask the lord to make it clear!" ”
Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "Because we have received accurate information that Taiping Dao will be a nationwide event within a year, so we must build our Eagle City before this, that is, it will be completed within a year or even less!" ”
Although everyone knew that the Taiping Dao would be reversed, they still couldn't help but lose their voices in unison: "What! ”
Gao Feng was surprised in his heart, he had always been in charge of the intelligence work in the mountains, but even he didn't know about it. He was puzzled in his heart, but seeing Nan Ying and Gao Shun's solemn faces, how dare he ask more.
Gao Tie thought about it, and finally couldn't help but say: "But even if the Taiping Road is reversed, their power has not extended here, how much impact will it have on us?" ”
Nanying sneered: "How much impact? Let me tell you the truth, after the Taiping Dao Incident, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu's Heavenly Master Dao will respond, and the Qiang tribes will also launch a rebellion. After that, the princes everywhere will support their own troops, and the Han dynasty will be crumbling! ”
This news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, shocking everyone to the ground, and even Cheng Yu and Jia Xu couldn't help but straighten their eyes.
After a while, Jia Xu said with difficulty: "Dare to ask the lord, is this news true?" ”
Nanying's eyes shot a sharp color, and he said categorically: "It will never be wrong!" The chaos in the world is about to begin!"
He smiled and said, "Congratulations! There is a way to be a hero in troubled times! You can show your strengths and do the next big thing vigorously in this era of heroes, and your name will be left in the history! ”
Although everyone was still a little incredulous, they were all aroused by the temptation of leaving a name in history, and they all agreed together.
Nanying was satisfied: "Very good! Let me announce my recent appointments! The military commanders: Gao Shun commanded the whole army, and there were various battalions: Gao Shun and Fang Yue were in charge of the camp, Dian Wei and Pu Hu were in charge of the camp of Ban Yu, Jiang Huan was in charge of the Qiang cavalry battalion, Yang Kun and Ma Yuankui were in charge of the patrol camp, and Gao Feng and Luo Sanshan were in charge of the scout camp. The establishment of each battalion is: 300 people in the trap camp, 1,000 people in the Ban Yu battalion, 500 people in the Qiang cavalry battalion, 200 people in the patrol battalion, 200 people in the scout battalion, and a total of 2,200 people in the whole army! ”
Seeing that everyone was a little dazed, he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong? ”
Gao Feng said with a bitter face: "Sir! Except for the Qiang Cavalry Battalion, there are not so many people in the other battalions! Seeing Nanying stretching out his hand to call, he hurriedly shouted with his head guarded: "What the chief says, let's do it!" ”
Nanying retracted his hand and scolded: "You can be stupid!" No one can't summon themselves! As long as you have the ability, I don't care about you poaching people from other camps! ”
Everyone showed a look of sudden realization, and the military commanders glanced at each other, and their mouths showed strange expressions of ill intentions and tacit understanding.
Nan Ying laughed secretly in his heart, these boys were only afraid that they would rob people and grab the chickens and dogs, so they didn't say anything, and continued: "The following are the political chiefs, Cheng Yu is the left army division, the main one; Jia Xu is the right army division, outside the main one; There are various ministries: Zao Yi, Minister of Construction, and Gao Gaoer, Deputy Governor, who are fully responsible for the construction of the city; The Minister of Logistics, Gao Tie, continues to be responsible for the mining of mineral deposits in the mountains; Ma Jun, Minister of Ordnance, and Zhang Xian, Deputy Commander, are responsible for supervising the production of catapults, bows and crossbows, and other equipment; The Minister of Fortifications was also led by Dian Wei, who was responsible for the production of weapons and armor; Cheng Yu is the Minister of Finance, and Jia Xu is the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Above, read out! ”
The crowd was sluggish again.
Zao only blurted out: "God! Your appointment seems to be a small court! ”
Jia Xu thought for a moment and said, "Sure enough, it's the best of the best!" It could not be more appropriate than that of the lord! ”
Cheng Yu also smiled and nodded.
Only Dian Wei muttered in a low voice: "Why is it that in addition to the two military advisors, only I have to work part-time?" ”
Nan Ying glared and said, "You have more food and wine than two people alone!" You don't work part-time, who works part-time? If you don't want to do both, it's okay, from today, eat and drink halved! ”
Dian Wei trembled in fright and said, "Don't! The lord and I can't listen to you completely! ”
Fang Yue laughed happily, patted Dian Wei on the shoulder and said, "Old Dian, you don't know how much I thank you!" ”
Dian Wei was puzzled: "Thank me? Why? ”
Fang Yue stepped forward and said mysteriously, "You don't know!" Ever since you came, the chief has taught me less and less! It's all up to you! Wowhaha! ”
Dian Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Don't be happy, you kid, look at me if I don't steal your wine today! ”
The crowd couldn't hold back any longer, and the laughter almost knocked the roof open.
Dian Wei looked at the cloth in his hand blankly, gasped and said, "My mother! What kind of weapon is this? How come I've never seen one? ”
Nan Ying smiled slightly, pointed to the first pattern on the cloth and said: "This is called a katana, the handle is long, the back is thick and the blade is thin, and the power is great when chopping, and it can be used as a saber!" ”
Seeing that Dian Wei couldn't help nodding, he pointed to the second type of figure and said, "This is called the Gurkha saber." You don't have to look weird, but it's this dog-legged blade that gives it extraordinary slashing abilities, and it's perfect for equipping the Camp Camp! ”
Dian Wei scratched his head and said, "Lord, you are so powerful!" How did you come up with something so stakesome? But it's hard for me, I'm afraid that these weapons won't be able to meet the requirements without the method of refining, and I'm going to be tired to death now! ”
Nan Ying scolded with a smile: "You kid, don't want to be lazy!" And help me make more than 10,000 cowhides into leather shields and leather armor! ”
Dian Wei screamed: "God! Don't let people live! Lord, are you one of those bisons? There is endless energy! ”
Nan Ying sneered: "Isn't your nickname called Black Bull?" ”
Seeing that Dian Wei wanted to cry without tears, he gave him a thumbs up: "You are so stupid! Of course, you have to fight the weapons yourself, but you can ask the women of the barbarian to help you make leather shields and leather armor for those cowhides! I see they are very experienced in leather craft! ”
Dian Wei was overjoyed and said: "My lord, why don't you say it earlier!" ”
Nan Ying cheered him up again: "I know you are very hard, so let's go back and ask the people from the finance department to buy more good wine for you when they go out to buy grain, and then ask Brother Yang to prepare more game for you!" As long as you complete the task on time, you will be guaranteed to have enough wine and meat! ”
Dian Wei stayed for a long time, and suddenly pushed Nan Ying out of the door, shouting: "Lord, go and inspect elsewhere!" I'm going to gather all the manpower to start work immediately! Remember the good wine and good meat that promised me! ”
Nanying walked a long way, and still heard Dian Wei shouting: "Who is that, you go to Pu Hu and say, let him take care of the boys in the Ban Yu camp recently, and I won't go if I have too many things!" And you, hurry up the fire, it's time to start......."
Nanying laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and hurriedly walked away.
"Boom" a boulder of more than 100 catties rotated and ejected from the catapult, and in the eyes of everyone in disbelief, a beautiful parabola slid out in mid-air, quickly turned into a small black dot, and smashed heavily on an empty block of more than 300 steps, splashing a burst of dust.
Nan Ying's mouth opened wide, and he said, "God! Such a long range! ”
Ma Jun said proudly: "This is all thanks to the torsion spring that the lord told me, I used it to strengthen the projectile power of the catapult, and I successfully increased the range by nearly a hundred steps!" ”
Nanying drooled: "Okay! Good! What a good thing! It's a pity it's a bit of a hassle to make! If you can make it in large quantities, it will be invincible in the world! ”
Ma Jun said with deep sympathy: "The lord is right! In order to ensure the quality, the production process of this thing is indeed quite cumbersome, so only 20 have been built so far! ”
Nan Ying said casually: "It's okay! Just take your time......... Wait a minute! How many fights did you kid just say? ”
Ma Jun was puzzled: "Twenty crosses! How? If the lord is not satisfied with this speed, I can make all the people give up the rest and work in shifts! ”
Nanying kicked Ma Jun's ass excitedly and shouted, "You kid is really good!" Twenty fights have already been made without a sound! I'm so satisfied! "Dancing with your hands, spinning around in place a few times.
Ma Jun rubbed his buttocks and smiled bitterly: "Scare me!" I'm too little for you! Because I didn't put all my manpower into making a catapult! ”
Nanying's smile froze and said, "Could it be that your kid is still making other things!" ”
Ma Jun nodded and said, "Last time in the grassland, didn't the lord ask me to find a way to make a large crossbow?" I've made a few of them according to your idea, and I'd like to ask you to take a look! ”
With a wave of his hand, several of his men immediately launched a large crossbow with four wheels mounted on the lower part.
Nanying's jaw almost fell to the ground: "Oh my God! You've made it! This is indeed a ballista! ”
Ma Junxi said: "Ballista? Good name! I'm worried that this weapon doesn't have a name! ”
Nanying said foolishly: "How powerful is this thing? ”
Ma Jun said modestly: "The range is about the same as that of the catapult, but the shooting accuracy is too accurate, and the rate of fire is twice as fast as the catapult, but this ballista can only fire spears, and the power cannot be compared with the catapult!" ”
He sighed, "Alas! If only the catapult had half this ballista on target! ”
Nanying finally recovered from the surprises, laughed and patted Ma Jun on the shoulder and said, "Good boy! With you, it didn't disappoint me! ”
Ma Jun bared his teeth and grinned: "Good lord! You tap! My ass still hurts! I'm afraid this shoulder is useless again! ”
Nan Ying was in a very good mood, and said with a sly smile: "Xiaojun, I will teach you one more trick, which is enough to make up for the problem of insufficient accuracy of the catapult!" ”
Ma Jun was so overjoyed that he forgot about the pain, and said hurriedly: "Lord, say it quickly!" How can I improve? ”
Nanying smiled: "The catapult itself doesn't need to be improved, but you can make some fuss on the thrown stones!" For example, if you divide a large stone into smaller pieces or dozens of pieces, you can imagine how terrifying it would be if dozens or even hundreds of catapults threw hundreds or thousands of stones at once! ”
Ma Jun's eyes straightened when he heard this, and he nodded again and again: "Not bad, not bad!" ”
Nanying smiled, "This is called a cover shot!" ”
He thought for a moment and said, "This method can be applied to attacking the enemy's large number of infantry charges, but if it is in a city defense battle, it is not feasible for the enemy to have a large number of siege equipment!" Well, you can carve a boulder into a circle, right! That's it, carve a lot of spherical boulders! ”
Ma Jun closed his eyes, imagining the power of a stone ball thrown out, and then rolling all the way over, he couldn't help but shiver all over, and hesitated: "Lord!" Alas........."
Nan Ying Qi said: "What do you want to say?" ”
Ma Jun said with difficulty: "Lord, you are really vicious!" ”
Nan Ying laughed, slapped Ma Jun again, and said, "Xiao Jun, you remember, being merciful to the enemy is cruel to yourself!" ”
After that, he went away.
