With the wheel of history rolling forward, the thunderbolt also disappeared in the long river of history, until a thousand years later in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia around Xiangyang in the six-year bloody war, this giant trebuchet appeared again, but at that time, after the Hui people who were proficient in calculation and built several improvements, this trebuchet was more stable, more large, and also had a new name, Hui Hui Cannon.

Now, of course, it looks like that's all about to change.

With Li Xinchen, a person with more than 2,000 years of experience, coming to this world, it will naturally become different.

Ouyang Mo is also one of the best masters in Nanchen Guozhong after all, Li Xinchen just roughly described the principle of leverage and the corresponding calculation method, Ouyang Mo already understood, of course, he would not be stupid to ask Li Xinchen why he understood this, the general was originally a magical person, naturally there were secrets that he couldn't tell, Ouyang Mo was not stupid, he knew that the general must have told him everything he could.

After the construction of the Shu County Workshop was completed, the first thing Ouyang Mo did was to build this huge thunderbolt, which was not only the largest trebuchet that Ouyang Mo had ever supervised in his life, but also the first trebuchet built by the Shu County Workshop.

Therefore, the Shu County Workshop has great hopes for this trebuchet, as long as it can perform well in the next Battle of Xiangyang, then the Shu County Workshop will definitely be able to obtain a higher status and more funds from the general.

The most important thing to study these devices is money and raw materials.

With Li Xinchen taking Hanzhong, Ouyang Mo has already brought people into Hanzhong to investigate, whether it is to find minerals or timber, it is a good thing. What's more, Ouyang Mo also wanted to establish a workshop in Hanzhong, so that the completed equipment, especially large equipment, would not need to go through the long journey of Shu Road transfer.

Li Xinchen didn't have much objection to this, and it was not necessarily a good thing if the frontier where the workshop and the army were stationed were kept too far apart. Li Xinchen is well aware of the importance of the workshop, and to a large extent, this is one of the few advantages that Li Xinchen can take advantage of now.

The formation and training of the army, different famous generals throughout the ages have different methods, some are good at advancing the army, and the momentum is wide open and close, so when training the soldiers, the array is the main thing, and some are good at the elite soldiers, and no one can stop them wherever they go, so they pay more attention to the polishing of the quality of the soldiers themselves when training.

For Li Xinchen, the current Bashu does not have sufficient soldiers, the newly reclaimed land needs too much labor, and the rest of the abandoned cities, workshops, etc. want to recover their vitality, and it is obviously impossible to rely on women, children, old and weak alone. Being able to gather so many soldiers and horses this time has actually squeezed Bashu's combat power to the extreme.

In contrast, Xiao Maha often went north with seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses, which made Li Xinchen's eyes red with envy, not to mention the guys like Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian who confronted each other with more than 100,000 troops.

Even for this reason, Li Xinchen had no way to ensure that the physical fitness of the soldiers under his command was very standard, and he did not have enough time to train every soldier as he did when he trained the 800 elites.

Therefore, the only way left for Li Xinchen was to strengthen the armament of this army, and to make up for the serious shortage in numbers and personnel quality through the sharpness of weapons and the strength of equipment.

This may not be a very effective way in a short period of time, after all, the gap between blades and equipment is not very obvious in this era, Li Xinchen, as a later generation, although he has so much more experience, but these experiences are mainly concentrated in the liberal arts, and the knowledge of science is still in books, which is obviously not enough, but this does not prevent Li Xinchen from starting to ponder on his own.

The land of Bashu is rich in salt and iron, and the Qin State was able to completely surpass the six countries to dominate the world after getting Bashu, which has a lot to do with the rich products of Bashu, and the iron ore of Bashu gradually became the armor and blade of the old Qin people, and the armies of the six eastern countries finally dissipated in this rolling iron stream. It's a pity that the salt and iron of Bashu still did not support the collapse of the Qin Dynasty in the end.

And now, of course, Li Xinchen will not let go of this natural advantage, and even he has taken the initiative to send people south to Nanzhong, where there are more minerals, especially copper ore and other metal ores, which are necessary for Li Xinchen's next development of smelting.

These copper and iron will eventually be trained by Li Xinchen and Ouyang Mo and become a sharp weapon for conquering the world.

Of course, these are just Li Xinchen's beautiful ideas, before this he needs to take Xiangyang down, so that he can give himself an offensive direction other than Hanzhong, and at the same time face the south to plant another nail.

Li Xinchen never expected Nan Chen to honestly fight side by side with him, and he didn't even expect Xiao Maha to stand firmly on his side after he completely tore his face with the imperial court.

Xiao Maha in history is a well-known old stubborn, he has been a courtier in the Sui Dynasty for so many years, hearing that his second son in the south raised troops, the old man still put on the battle to fight against the Sui, even if he did this somewhat bit of Don Quixote vs. windmills, but it also made future generations remember this person's hard bones and loyalty to the Southern Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Xinchen didn't believe in Xiao Maha at all, which is why he must take Xiangyang into his own hands, and the fluttering of Li Xinchen's general flag on the head of this city can make Li Xinchen truly feel at ease.

"After the thunderbolt was made, it was turned around Shu Road, and now it is finally reassembled, and the next thing is to see if you have the ability to make this thunderbolt show its style." Li Xinchen smiled and said to Wu Ping, "Before attacking Xiangyang, you had a good chance of practicing your hand. ”

After a pause, Li Xinchen nodded at Fang Ling on the edge of the sky: "Do you dare?" ”

Wu Ping thumped his chest heavily at the moment: "Why don't you dare, but listen to the general's dispatch!" ”

And Li Xinchen looked at Pei Zilie: "Dashi, tomorrow's siege battle will be handed over to you, if the thunderbolt is played properly, how long will it take to take Fangling?" ”

Pei Zilie pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Within twelve hours." ”

"Eight hours." Li Xinchen said lightly.

Pei Zilie was stunned for a moment, and seeing that Li Xinchen didn't want to bargain with him at all, he immediately gritted his teeth and surrendered his hand: "Obey!" ”

Li Xinchen narrowed his eyes and walked to Pei Zilie's side: "Dashi, this battle will be handed over to you, you must fight the majesty, fast and ruthless." ”

Pei Zilie suddenly understood that Li Xinchen gave himself the thunderbolt and gave himself the credit for the first battle of the attack on Xiangyang, obviously wanting to motivate himself to fight quickly, and use a battle that was enough to shock the defenders of Xiangyang to announce Li Xinchen's arrival.
