Shang Wen and Lao Weng sent the King of Qin away, and invited Lao Weng to join his team and improve his weapons. The old man heard that he could serve the Qin State again. Immediately agreed, Shang Wen asked the old man's name. Only then did I know that there is only one word, called Xi. Shang Wen had no choice but to call him "Xi Lao". Shang Wen didn't know why there was only one word.
"Boom, boom," several roars rang out in the distance. Shang Wen and Xi stood on the platform with a telescope to watch.
"It's a success, Hi Lao." Shang Wen held binoculars and carefully observed the impact point of the rocket after the bombardment. "Yes, sir. Unexpectedly. This rocket can hit so far. It's beyond the imagination of the aged. Xi Lao put down the binoculars in his hand and looked at the billowing smoke rising in the distance. It's been a month thanks to the joy of the old. If it weren't for the improvement of the old one. I'm afraid the rockets won't hit that far. Shang Wen said.
"You're welcome. Let's take a look at the specific effects of rockets. Shang Wen said and took Xi Lao's hand and walked off the stage.
Since Shang Wen sent off the King of Qin, he began to relocate his laboratory. Today's laboratory has a preliminary scale. On this basis, Shangwen began to improve the existing models of the weapons he invented.
Especially rockets. Bamboo was adopted as a new material. Reduce the overall weight of the rocket. Oiled paper was also used to wrap the propellant and combat parts. The overall effect of the rocket has been significantly improved. Plus the refining of fierce fire oil. Napalm rockets have been developed, but in very small quantities.
In the case of small rockets, a curved launch method was adopted. Shang Wen was a little unhappy, but what the war needed was such weapons and equipment, so he acquiesced in the development of such a product.
Shang Wen took the car to the bullet point. Start checking the distance between the impact points, and so on.
Xi Lao looked at the large and small craters all over the ground, and was very generous.
Shang Wen saw Xi Lao's expression and said with a smile: "What does Xi Lao think?" "No, nothing. I just think, with such a weapon. Even the six** team is difficult to beat. I think that at the beginning, the old man fought with the previous king, and the soldiers fought hard one by one. On the battlefield, very few survived. The old man is one of them. Especially in the battle of Handan, many people did not come back. If you have such a weapon, those old guys, too. Saying that, Xi Lao was a little sad, and his eyes began to moisten.
Seeing this, Shang Wen felt that it was necessary to divert some topics.
"Xi Lao, look at it, how far away this is from the launch site." Shangwen asked.
"Oh, old man, look at it." As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up and began to measure the distance. This kind of distance measurement method is still still taught by Shangwen. But it's not Shangwen who uses it well. Because Shangwen's concept of distance is very poor. It's very easy to use it.
"It is estimated that there are almost eight miles of land. That's a great distance. Such a distance. The large armies were stationed a little far away. Just take this rocket and blast it. What is the formation, and the camp layout. Just one charge and you're done. Xi Lao said happily. As he spoke, he thought of the time when he was fighting by himself.
Shang Wen looked at this distance. "By the way, let's start experimenting with the next test item, a bow and crossbow equipped with scopes." Shang Wen said suddenly.
"Well, you have to have a special archer to use it. The old man suggested that a special crossbowman should be found in the army to experiment. Only these people can know how to use it well. Xi Lao said.
"Well, just do it, go, follow me to the army of Meng Tian to have a look. Speaking of which. I haven't seen him in a month. I don't know how well his cavalry units are trained. Shang Wen left the impact point with Xi Lao.
In the army of Meng Tian. Bands of cavalry rushed back and forth.
Some stabbed with halberds, and some slashed back and forth with machetes. Looking at the grass man who was chopped down, Shang Wen felt that this was a bit of a movie. Shang Wen is particularly uninterested in these cold weapons. If it weren't for the limitations of gunpowder. Shang Wen couldn't wait to equip himself with firearms immediately. It's really a little cold.
Xi Lao is very happy. Because. Such an active force is exactly the one that he didn't have back then. Moreover, it is still all cavalry, speed, mobility, are not the same. The same is true of the subordinates who pressed the ordnance in the back. Many of these people have been involved in wars. He has a special affection for the military. Everyone's expressions changed to very excited faces. "Kill, kill, kill." Bands of cavalry were rushing. There was a rumbling roar in the distance, like the sound of a grenade exploding. But look at the horses. None of them moved, apparently accustomed to the fright of the sound of the explosion. That's a good thing. "Shang Wen, Shang Wen," Meng Tian came over with a horse in the distance, followed by a cavalry.
"Phew." It was followed by the sound of a large number of horses stopping. Then there was the dust. Shang Wen waved his hand to beat the dust.
"I've brought those new weapons again this time, it's been a month, and I'm almost going to kill you." Meng Tian had already dismounted and began to open the equipment behind him.
Shang Wen glanced at the soldiers. Boy. There was a row of grenades pinned to his waist. At least ten. Shang Wen looked a little broken.
"What is this, Shangwen. Two bamboo tubes. What a thing. "Meng Tian has opened the package.
"Oh, it's a telescope. Clairvoyance. Being able to see far away. Saying that, Shang Wen began to demonstrate to Meng Tian.
Meng Tian followed Shang Wen's demonstration and began to take a look.
I didn't believe it at first. Pull it down for a while, take it up and look at it for a while. "This thing is so amazing. Something far away can be placed in front of your eyes. Meng Tian said. There are even more amazing ones. Look at this. As he spoke, Shang Wen took out a crossbow with a scope and handed it to Meng Tian. This is. Meng Tian asked. Sniper crossbow". Shang Wen said very simply.
With the experience of telescopes, Meng Tian began to adapt to the scope. I looked back and forth. Draw a crossbow arrow." Whoosh". The arrows flew far away. Shoot into a field in the distance.
"It's far away, but it's not easy to use." Meng Tian said a little unhappily.
Shang Wen listened. Some are not happy. What does that mean.
"Well, you let your crossbowmen give it a try. I'm a test subject. Shang Wen said.
"Huzi. Here you come. Meng Tian said.
As he spoke, a strong young man stepped forward. Didn't say a word. There was no singing, no answer, taking the crossbow, pulling the bow, hooking.
Aim. It's a bit long and not very crisp. "Whoosh," the arrow flew out. Shoot at a distant target. And then another, and another.
Six arrows in a row. It's just in the blink of an eye. "How does it feel?" Meng Tian asked.
