Chapter 8: Confrontation (4)
Jiangyu quickly calculated the gains and losses, and then said with a somewhat ugly face: "Under the festival, although I am a small and poor people in Qiuci, agriculture and animal husbandry are not abundant, but in the past, businessmen must pay light taxes, and the balance of many years can also have 10000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver. Since he knew that Lu Guang was actually an envoy and enjoyed the right to be arbitrary, Jiang Yu quickly changed his title. Of course, the festival is much more important than the governor. Duan Ye still slandered in his heart, because of his arrival, is it possible for this Lu Guang to get the fake Jieyue from Fu Jian, who is about to be stormy?
This fake festival is terrible, Guan Yu's Northern Expedition was this back then. There is only one core of this fake festival, which can kill people who also hold festivals, representing the highest trust of the Son of Heaven. It's just that Duan Ye probably didn't expect that he could really see Yue.
"Turtles have hearts, and this section should be laughed at. What is it like to enter the city on the Japanese Festival of the Ming Dynasty, swear an oath to the heavens with the king of Qiuzi, and conclude a peace treaty? Lu Guang said with a smile.
"This ......" Although Jiangyu's face was veiled, her expression became more and more ugly, "Under the festival, there are many Yifu assassins in Qiuci City, who come and go, no one can be high, and the king of Qiuci will not leave his iron armor day and night, and he still can't sleep peacefully." How can you easily take risks? On the first day of the first month of the next month, it is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and if it is not as good as entering the city at that time, the people of Qiuzi will eat pot pulp to welcome the heavenly army. ”
"I have an army of 100,000 in Great Qin, and there are only a few assassins, what are you afraid of?" Seeing that Lu Guang's expression seemed to be ridiculed, Duan Ye had a number in his heart, so he preemptively said.
"On the orders of my king, Jiangyu made a covenant with Jiexia, who are you? Unashamedly spoken? Jiang Yu was not polite to Duan Ye at all, straightened his waist and said.
"Not talented Duan Ye, the army under the section, the matter of the paperwork, the change of the secret, although the position is low, but the letter under the festival, the person who does the service wants. The jade girl is just the envoy of the king of Qiuci, the lord of the city of the king of Qiuci, the soldiers are not more than 10,000, and the people are only more than 100,000. ”
Originally, Duan Ye's role was to play a black face, but at this time, he seized the opportunity to talk to the chick, and naturally he was not polite at all, and after a hat was buttoned down, Jiang Yu suddenly didn't react, her eyes couldn't help but widen, and she looked at this hateful man fixedly.
"Not bad. Let's not say it, the soldiers of our army are all one as ten, and there is no chance for the Yifu assassins. Even if you dare to be brave, have you ever asked the sword in the bald Wei Tan book? Ephthus? Hmph, if you can see the people of the Ephi tribe, tell them that if you fatten the cattle and sheep, dress up the maiden, wash the neck, and tear down the felt tent, the bald tribe will come as a guest, and generously and naturally take the cattle and sheep to sacrifice to the heavens to pray for you, take away the maidens to reproduce for you, and kill the rebels in your tribe, so that the rule of your patriarch will be more stable. ”
The bald Wei Tan's words almost made Duan Ye laugh out loud again. This kid is really cute, if he is obviously plundering, he can still say it so high-sounding. What's even more interesting is that it's obviously talking about the Etofubu, but it sounds like he's threatening the turtles. It seems that Wei Tan's book is really not in vain.
"Alright." Someone put on a black face, someone always came to sing and redface, Lu Guang stood up and signaled them to stop bullying the little girl. "It's not easy for the jade girl to come, these big things, I'll talk about it later, now our army is going to drill to prepare for hunting, can the jade girl take a look?"
"I don't dare to ask for it." Jiang Yu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Please!"
"Please!"
When Duan Ye stood up, the bald Wei Tan had already walked to the front, but at this time, Duan Ye suddenly found that Lu Guangruo looked at the bald Wei Tan with deep meaning. But Duan Ye blinked, and Lu Guang's eyes were full of smiles, and he greeted Jiang Yu.
Could it be a mistake? Duan Ye shook his head, ignoring this matter for now.
****************************************
Due to the meeting, Duan Ye needed to command the boulder artillery team, so he got off the high platform first, and let Jiang Yu and the others review the three armies on the high platform, which could be regarded as a deterrent to this envoy. If Qiuzi City can obediently open the city and surrender, it will naturally be the best. Although Duan Ye and Lu Guang don't have much hope, it's good to take out a sharp weapon like a boulder cannon to deter the other party.
Although he was still not used to riding a horse and always felt some pain in his inner thighs, Duan Ye still rode his yellow horse and hurried towards Shi Haizi. Shi Haizi is actually not far from Lu Guang's camp, and it is only a few minutes away. But this place happened to be a depression, and there were ready-made boulders around the depression, so Duan Ye received Lu Guang's order to put all the boulder cannons here.
"Get up, get up, the army is here." A long man, called Duan Ping, shouted to his companions. At that time, when Duan Ye asked for people from various armies, because it happened that this Duan Ping had the same surname as himself, he was a clever person, he spoke sweetly, and he was born with a cheerful look, Duan Ye was happy for a while, and some things were directly explained to him. And because the group of people under Duan Ye did not form a system at all, the generals saw Lu Guang's face and gave some people who were not very obedient and didn't like it to make up for Duan Ye. Therefore, Duan Ping's even chief is considered to be a relatively high rank. Therefore, Duan Ye used him, and it did not cause any backlash.
"Hmm." Duan Ye nodded and glanced around. Sure enough, the Iron Army is the Iron Army, although they are not the generals who brought them out at all, and they cannot be as afraid of themselves as the generals who go into battle to kill the enemy, but they still show the necessary qualities of a strong army.
The people of the boulder artillery team were all standing neatly, but Duan Ye's mind was obviously more on the seesaw-like wooden carts behind. Yes, that is Duan Ye's hard work for nearly 1 month. That's the most powerful siege weapon of this era!
Of course, in fact, these boulder cannons, in terms of performance, are far inferior to the return cannons made by Ah Lao Wading and Yi Si Ma Yin for Kublai Khan, on the one hand, there are problems with craftsmanship and wood materials, but on the other hand, it is actually intentional by Duan Ye. You have to keep a hand in everything, and now that you have taken out a big killing weapon all of a sudden, you have no room for progress and development, and it is by no means a good thing for yourself who has no soldiers, no money, no background and no resources.
The main difference between a boulder cannon and a catapult is that the catapult is actually a simple use of the lever principle, which is fundamental. However, the size of the power, on the one hand, depends on the process, whether to add a lot of accessories, whether to use a large amount of torque and other mechanical knowledge, this section of the industry is not used, and there is no such craftsman. But in terms of production, Duan Ye directly followed the counterweight trebuchet. This alone can dramatically improve performance. Of course, the leverage ratio is also a little smaller, and there are no requirements for processing sections everywhere, such as shafts, such as wheels. All in all, how simple is how to come.
Duan Ye has never figured out why, for many years ago, the ancient Chinese clever craftsmen were making a fuss about the strength and elasticity of ropes, stone bullets, and tie rods, and as a result, the trebuchets they made could only smash people, and they really couldn't keep up with the increase in the thickness of the city wall. Why not think about leverage? Is this the so-called obsession with the authorities?
However, these are no longer important, Duan Ye has already personally created an unprecedented boulder artillery team in this era, and he firmly believes that this team will not show up, and once it appears, it will be in Megatron!
