Chapter 61: Something New
"Went west......!" Murong Tuoba's eyes almost fell out, these Huaxia people were beaten on the head for a night, were they beaten stupid? Didn't they always only be brave behind the high walls, and they didn't hurry back to Yongdu City, where the walls were high and the pools were deep, what were they doing to the west?
Turning his head to look at Lao Jin, he saw that this old guy looked as confused as him. At a glance, this old bastard didn't figure out what was going on.
"Great Elder, is it a chase or a ...... now" Murong Tuoba was a little suspicious. The Chinese people use tricks when they fight, is it because the Chinese people are using tricks again?
"Humph! There is no need to attack them, now that it is dawn they are on guard again. The Qin crossbow will bring us a lot of casualties, and the lives of the sons and daughters are precious. They're not going west, so let's just follow to see what these people are going to do. Anyway, they're already caged birds, and they can't fly even if they want to. ”
Lao Jin was right, the 200,000 troops of the Donghu people surrounded the Duke of Qi and Hengya. Last night, the reason why the permanent tooth was able to withstand the attack of the Donghu people. One is because the permanent teeth are prepared, and the other is because almost everyone is concentrating on attacking the Celestial Father. The only one who attacked the permanent tooth was Wei Peng, the patriarch of the Wei clan, who led the men and horses of his headquarters.
The caution of the Duke of Qi has been alive for a long time, and the original plan of the Donghu people is to kill the permanent tooth with all their might. Unexpectedly, Gong Qi brought so many people out. If you eat the permanent teeth first, it will be very troublesome if the widow comes to help. Helplessly, Lao Jin and Murong Tuoba could only change their plans and kill Duke Qi first. But after a fierce battle, although he hit the deer hard, he did not eat the deer. The reason is very simple, there are many people in the koji. More than 90,000 people are not more than 90,000 pigs, even if more than 90,000 pigs are scattered in the field, they can't be killed overnight.
The Duke walked more than ten miles in fear, until the edge of the forest joined the army of the Permanent Tooth. The two generals of the Qin army gathered together, and they couldn't help but cry when they thought about the fierce battle last night. The Qin army suffered heavy losses overnight and now had to wait for the imperial court to rescue. Fortunately, when the sword soldiers first rose last night, the Duke of Qi had already sent someone to summon him. Presumably, at this time, the news of his defeat was already on the way to Xianyang.
The birds were chirping in the early morning, and Yun Yue strengthened her will several times before she got out of the warm quilt.
"Change some cold water!" Pushing away the warm cloth towel in Xia Ju's hand, he discussed the military situation with Wei Fang and Li Si for a night last night. Now, Yun Yue needs to use cold water to drive away the sleeping demon in her brain.
The cold water applied to the face immediately felt like thousands of steel needles piercing the face. The sleeping demon who turned into the appearance of Zhou Gong disappeared in an instant. Today I am going to the Nanshan Proving Ground to witness the latest firearms. I don't know what Master Geng and the old fisher have come up with, anyway, I know it's a good thing by looking at the mysterious look on the old fisherman's face.
Last night, the three most powerful people in Pingliang had a full exchange of views on sending troops to quell and destroy Donghu. The three agreed that the advantages of sending troops outweighed the disadvantages. If no troops are dispatched, not only Great Qin will be severely damaged. Moreover, there is a danger that Pingliang will be stifled. After all, Pingliang's grain production is very limited. It is simply not enough to feed the population of Pingliang, which is more than 200,000 people, although there are two sharp weapons, corn and sweet potatoes. But people can't always eat sweet potatoes!
After the three of them studied unanimously, this expedition was complete. It is still mainly a mobile force, and the hoplites such as the Modao battalion, which is not suitable for mobility, can only stay in Pingliang to defend the city. Presumably, as soon as the news spread. Chu Dayong, that guy, will be thunderous again. After all, there are not many forces in the northwest that dare to attack the defense of Pingliang City.
Not only could the Modao battalion not be dispatched, but even elephants and rhinoceros could not be dispatched. These two animals are apparently very unaccustomed to the dry and cold weather of the Northwest and now hide in conservatories all day. He was waited on like an uncle. Of course, Yun Yue didn't want her secret weapon to be exposed too early. After all, if secret weapons are used too much, others will formulate corresponding tactics. When the time comes, elephants and rhinos may not be able to exert their power. Since the power had already been achieved on the Donghu people, Yun Yue did not plan to use them for a long time.
The cold air lifted the spirits even more, and the trace of fatigue that had just been blown away by the cold wind. The cool air sucked in the lungs, stinging the lungs. The face that had just eased up was a little tense again.
Since the invention of gunpowder, the two scientists have been working tirelessly. All kinds of inhumane weapons came into being, and Yun Yue proposed what would be called the enemy of ten thousand people in later generations. It's a quilt, wrapped in hay and sprinkled with gunpowder. When defending the city, he lit it and threw it under the city wall, and the fire burned so violently that it was terrifying.
But as soon as such a simple weapon was proposed, it was vetoed by the old man and Master Geng. At the same time, he gave his contemptuous gaze to this Hou Ye without hesitation, because Yunyue listened to it strangely, cotton was too expensive.
Cotton is definitely a Pingliang specialty now, and a pound of cotton is definitely more expensive than ten pounds of mutton. With such a high-priced thing, Yun Yue actually wanted to use it as a fire-inducing thing. The two scientists, Hui Yunhou, have a new understanding of his ability to lose. Yun Yue was very speechless, you two guys who made bronze into cannonballs to listen to incense, you still have the face to accuse Lao Tzu. Cotton was not a very expensive thing in later generations. Where did I think that cotton would be so expensive this year.
The carriage staggered and finally arrived at the Nanshan test site. Yun Yue hadn't slept much last night, and was woken up again this morning. The stove in the car smoked, and I almost fell asleep again.
When I got out of the carriage, I saw two top scientists in Pingliang, and I don't know what the two of them came up with. However, just by looking at the strange smile of the old fisherman, you can know that the new weapon must have a gray impression and great power.
"What did you come up with, and let Ben Hou run it himself." Yun Yue felt strange when she saw that neither of them had a sample in their hands, and there were no trebuchets or anything like that around them.
After this period of continuous efforts, the shells fired by the trebuchet have been finalized. Now it's working overtime, and the grenade is being finalized and production is starting at the same time. However, unlike the grenades of later generations, the Pingliang version of the grenade requires the fuse to be lit manually with fire. However, this is already a top-level technology product in the Warring States period. The superstitious Qiang people and Yueshi slaves in the test ground were not one or two who were frightened.
Yun Yue dared to take tens of thousands of people to fight 300,000 people to the death this time, completely because he had a firearm in his hand. Come out and mix, you can't be bullied to death without two-handed skills. (To be continued.) )
