Chapter 22: Test Shot Thunderbolt
Lujiazhuang,
Houshan,
Qin Xu was sweating profusely, commanding those young men, wielding a hoe and struggling to mine stones.
"Quick, quick, put that stone on it."
Pointing to a stone the size of a human head, Qin Xu motioned to a young man and put it in the back pocket of the thunderbolt.
Although Qin Xu has not used any thunderbolts, as a modern person, his thinking is still relatively active.
It only took two turns to understand how this thing was launched.
Fortunately, the system is still face-saving, and the two thunderbolts in front of Qin Xu belong to the more perfect styles in the later stage.
It is not like the oldest kind of catapult, which requires manpower.
After the young men put the stones in their back pockets and put them away, Qin Xu motioned for them to step back on both sides, and he came to the side of the thunderbolt cart.
Everyone also put down the things in their hands and looked at Qin Xu curiously, not knowing what he was doing with such a guy.
Qin Xu rubbed his hands nervously, rolled up his sleeves a little awkwardly, and pressed one of the handles on the thunderbolt.
As the handle was pressed, the rope suddenly became loose, and the large iron block at the other end fell rapidly under the action of gravity, making a loud bang.
And just when everyone's eyes gathered on the other end, there were also a few young men, looking at the air in amazement,
There, a stone the size of a human head was flying rapidly.
The boulder that was thrown out, like a cannonball, rushed into the woods not far away under Qin Xu's gaze, and smashed a small tree with a thick bowl mouth directly into pieces.
Wow!
Including the tiger and leopard, Lu Ling'er, Guan Yinping, and those young people were all stunned on the spot.
Miracles, yes!
"The gods of heaven descend to earth, the gods of heaven descend to earth, Lord Qin is a god of heaven."
I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and the stunned young men knelt down one by one, their faces full of admiration and hope.
For a while, the scene was a little chaotic, all shouting for the blessing of the gods, Lord Qin's majesty and the like.
Qin Xu came back to his senses, the corners of his mouth were almost to the root of his ears, and he didn't expect this thunderbolt to be so easy to use.
At this speed, two launches in a minute, that's absolutely fine.
And if you look at this range, at least 500 steps, which is already a very good range.
Not caring about everyone's misunderstanding, Qin Xu waved his hand around.
"Hurry up, go get the stones, just as big as they were just now, get some more."
After the young men were full of excitement and continued to mine stones, Lu Linger swallowed next to her and stammered and asked.
"Qin, Lord Qin, what kind of artifact is this?"
Qin Xu turned his head to look at him, looked at his thin body, and pursed his lips, it seemed that he couldn't count on him to move stones.
beckoned to Lu Ling'er, and when he came to the front, Qin Xu said:
"You watch what I do first, and then this thunderbolt will be handed over to you in charge."
"Huh? I? β
Lu Linger was taken aback, and her heart thumped, she heard it right, right?
Such a powerful artifact, leave it to yourself?
"IβCan I?"
"If you can't do it, you have to do it, or you'll go and move the stones."
Qin Xu didn't give Lu Ling'er the slightest chance to refute, and began to turn the winch and pull the lever back again.
Signaling to the young man who was a little excited next to him, and continuing to move a few stones up, Qin Xu began to explain to Lu Ling'er the principle and use of the thunderbolt car.
Fortunately, Lu Ling'er is not stupid, and the thunderbolt is not too difficult, Qin Xu's second shell has not yet been fired, and Lu Linger said that he understands.
"Got it?"
Qin Xu squinted at this guy, such a fast learning speed?
Lu Ling'er nodded, and replied confidently: "Lord Qin, don't worry, so-and-so has already understood." β
"Then this time you come,"
Qin Xu stepped aside and motioned for Lu Ling'er to come over and take charge of the second cannon.
"Ahh
Lu Ling'er was stunned for a moment, wasn't it, so fast?
Didn't you preach to me?
However, looking at Qin Xu's serious expression, Lu Linger gritted her teeth, she should be able to do it.
Well, I can do it!
cheered herself up in her heart, and Lu Linger came to the side of the thunderbolt under the eyes of everyone, either worried or concerned.
Learning the movements that Qin Xu taught her just now, Lu Linger pressed the handle down hard.
'Whoosh'
With the sound of several huge breaking sounds, several stones the size of human heads bounced out, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and crackling all smashed on the small trees in the back mountain.
Wow!
Now everyone was even more surprised, could it be that the young lady has also become a god?
Just when everyone was in a daze, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded not far away.
Approaching, the knight turned over and dismounted, kneeling down on one knee in front of Qin Xu,
"Report, lord, the enemy army is coming to help again."
Qin Xu was in good spirits for a while, and he came so quickly. Busy asked: "Can you see how many people are coming this time, and what are the weapons?" β
"Back to the lord, this should be the main force of the bandits, there are thousands of people, and everyone is wearing a sword." The expression of the tiger and leopard rider became a little serious.
'Poof! β
Qin Xu took two steps back, one didn't stand firmly, sat down on the big stone next to him, and repeated it a little uncertainly.
"Thousands of people came, all of them were wearing swords?"
"Yes, my lord!" The tiger and leopard rider lowered his head, and his voice was still so sonorous and powerful.
"These guys really look up to Qin!"
Qin Xu laughed miserably, and the good mood brought by the thunderbolt just now instantly came to naught.
The tiger and leopard rider didn't speak, and Guan Yinping's face next to him was also a little heavy, and he lowered his head and whispered in Qin Xu's ear:
"Lord, I'll escort you and leave first."
Lu Ling'er next to her was shocked when she heard it, but she didn't have anything to do now, she knew that this female general's suggestion was right.
But looking at the villagers behind him and the uncles and uncles in the village, Lu Linger could only cast her expectant eyes on Qin Xu.
Now only this man can save them from fire and water.
Qin Xu couldn't admit that the moment he heard Guan Yinping's suggestion, his shameful heart moved.
He opened his mouth a few times, but he just couldn't open it.
Especially looking at the pair of hopeful eyes next to him, he couldn't open his mouth even more.
That heartbeat was gradually replaced by a burst of enthusiasm.
"No, I can't go, I'm gone, what are they going to do?" Qin Xu's voice became extremely firm.
Guan Yinping knelt on one knee and persuaded bitterly: "Lord, you are a golden body, please think twice!" β
Qin Xu rolled his eyes, a golden body?
Bullshit!
A few hours ago, he was still a poor dick with nothing!
