Chapter 425: The Trebuchet

For several days, the execution ground outside the south gate of Jiangling City was splashed with blood, and those servants who came to pass on false holy decrees to Jingzhou to ask for bribes were arrested, and their fate was all the same as that of Zhang Li and Zhao De, and they were sentenced to death.

There were seven chamberlains, and more than two hundred of their minions, all of whom were beheaded, and the head of the city was covered with human heads pickled in quicklime.

Their corpses were all cremated, and they didn't even need to be buried, and when the fire burned them, their heads would be sent back to Beijing with those false holy decrees. With a false holy decree and more than 200 heads, Liu Yi believes that it will definitely deter those eunuchs and powerful ministers. In a sense, Liu Yi should be said to have a firm foothold in Jingzhou, and he no longer has to worry about these eunuchs and ministers coming to make trouble again.

After dealing with this matter, Liu Yi and Gan Ning returned to Dongting Lake Xinzhou with the retinue of inner servants and forbidden soldiers who had not been beheaded.

Or Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, is also a little afraid of Liu Yi's relationship, and wishes that Liu Yi would leave Jiangling as soon as possible, so he has already prepared what Liu Yi wants, in addition to the three thousand soldiers and Han-made weapons, there is also a batch of money and grain, iron blooms, and ploughing cattle.

Hehe, Tie Fei was originally a collection of the government, which was used to make weapons, and Wang Rui also gave it to Liu Yi in order to be able to send Liu Yi away quickly, I am afraid that there will be thousands of catties. In addition, the ploughing oxen, which he said were difficult to obtain, were also brought by him more than a dozen at that time.

At that time, Liu Yi, as the captain of Jingzhou's river protector, made it clear that he was going to deal with those water pirates, so even if Wang Rui didn't need Liu Yi to say, he would also transfer the official ship to Liu Yi. Fighting against water pirates, what can you talk about cleaning up water pirates without a boat?

Wang Rui allocated a total of one two-masted ship and four medium ships.

With five ships, it was possible to transport so many things to New Island.

Xinzhou, under the dispatch of Xun Yu and Zhang Jun, all kinds of work are being carried out in an orderly manner, and the progress is very fast, and all the work has achieved initial results.

A batch of green bricks has been fired, and the rock used to build the foundation of the fortress has also been mined, and people have been arranged to deliver it to the place every day, and the foundation has been built. With the current progress, as long as the materials are sufficient, I believe that it will not be long before the fortress can be built.

That Cao Yin really came to Xinzhou once, and he waited until the people he sent back to Wuling arrested those fake Qin messengers before he left. In this way, Liu Yi now has a fake Qincha attendant in his hand who has not been killed, and he still has a fake holy decree in his hand. These things are useless for the time being, so Liu Yi imprisoned the chamberlain, and if he kept the order, maybe it would be of some use in the future.

In addition, Xun Yu also gave Cao Yin a little money and goods according to Liu Yi's request, and sent Yan Liang to lead two hundred people to follow him. As for Huang Zhong and Huang Xu, they came back, but Xun Yu was not willing to send them to follow Cao Yin to do things, he felt that Yan Liang alone could deal with the affairs of Wuling. He kept Huang Zhong and Huang Xu because he felt that the father and son did have a set of military training, so he deliberately left the father and son specifically for them to practice.

As for Wen Chou, he was responsible for leading people to guard those prisoners, supervising the prisoners to work, and in addition, he also put him in charge of the security of Xinzhou.

In the vicinity of Xinzhou, there is actually no threat, on land, there are very few bandits and robbers, this area, is already sparsely populated, if the bandits and robbers occupy the mountains in these places as nests, who should they rob? Besides, as the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, the same is true for thieves, relying on Dongting Lake, who will run to the barren mountains and wilderness to be a bandit? It's much more comfortable to be a water thief than a bandit.

Therefore, on land, there is almost no need to think about the incursion of bandits and robbers, hehe, more than 100,000 people, even if they invite those bandits and robbers to rob, they are not so bold to come.

And in the water lake, there is no need to worry, because Ganning's water village guards a throat in and out of Dongting Lake, if there are water thieves who dare to rob, they must first pass the Yuanzui Island. At that time, when the water bandits attacked the small island of Yuen Tsui, someone would send the news to Xinzhou, so that Xinzhou would be ready to meet the thieves.

However, Liu Yi felt that it was impossible for these to happen, because now he was going to fight the water thieves by himself, and it was not the turn of the water thieves to fight him. Of course, if those water thieves and robbers dared to send them to the door by themselves, Liu Yi would be even happier, and it would be best if he didn't have to go to the lake for thousands of miles to find and exterminate them.

The construction of Xinzhou and the reclamation and production of the new continent do not need to be taken care of by Liu Yi, and Liu Yi does not have to worry too much about the food that provides food for the displaced people to eat and drink and survive the difficulties in the past two or three months. Of course, Liu Yi will not put all his hopes on Yuan Kui, according to Liu Yi's estimate, it is almost time for this Yuan Kui to stop supplying food to the displaced people. The displaced people also migrated to Xinzhou for a while, and there were too many excuses for him to stop supplying food. In addition, he lost 3,000 soldiers and horses at Liu Yi's hands, and was beheaded by Liu Yi again to pass on the false holy decree, which would cause him a certain amount of anger. From now on, the contradictions between them and Liu Yi began to gradually become clear and public. Especially when he knew that the more than 100,000 homeless people were still in Liu Yi's hands, and he still provided food to the homeless, he was a real stupid person.

If he was in Dazepo, Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Liu Yi might worry about the problem of food, because there was smoke on all sides, and the nearby counties and counties were all deeply affected by natural disasters and military disasters, and there was a general shortage of food. Where, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy food, so Liu Yi was so nervous about food in Dazepo, Zhuo County, Zhuo County. Now, as long as you have money, you can go to the cities and towns along the Yangtze River at any time, and go to those places to buy food.

Therefore, Liu Yi doesn't have to worry about these things, these can be handled by Xun Yu and Zhang Jun.

What Liu Yi has to do now is to prepare to renovate the warship and inspect the training results of the sailors.

Liu Yi and Gan Ning left Xinzhou to Jiangling, it was only ten days, it was only such a short time, and it was impossible to really train those sailors in a similar way, but at that time, it was enough time for them to familiarize themselves with how to fight on the ship, how to deal with the battle, and how to deal with some emergencies. At the very least, those people should be familiar with water.

Gan Ning already had several ships, and now he got a few more from Gangneung, and there were a total of about a dozen big ships that could really fight on the water.

The three thousand sailors don't need to be dispatched all, the real main force is still the hundreds of brocade sail thieves in Gan Ning's original, only they can really fight with other water thieves. And the newly formed sailors, let them strengthen their strength, and let them cooperate to see the real water warfare, or they can train the soldiers in battle and survive the fittest.

Now, it's impossible to cover a war ship with raw cowhide or something, where can you find so many raw cowhides now? Now, even if there are cows, they must be used for farming, and it is impossible to kill them for cowhides. Therefore, Liu Yi had to order people to prepare more fire extinguishing equipment on the ship, such as wooden barrels and wooden plates, so that if the enemy fired rockets, he could extinguish the fire source in time and never let the fire burn.

These are all basic preparations, so I won't say much about them. What Lewi really wants is a trebuchet.

As long as it is hit by a large stone projected by a trebuchet, it will definitely cause great casualties to the opponent, even if it cannot cause casualties to the opponent, it can also destroy the opponent's warship, giving the opponent a kind of spiritual pressure and deterrence.

This trebuchet, Leo can not make the real siege trebuchet, because the trebuchet is too heavy, the trebuchet itself is extremely heavy, when it wants to shoot stones, it takes many people and livestock to launch the projectile stones. And the trebuchet installed on the ship, it can't be that big.

According to the encyclopedia, trebuchets are divided into two types: human trebuchets and torsion trebuchets. The man-powered trebuchet is naturally the most primitive kind, and it can be stoned with one or several people. However, this kind of trebuchet, the distance of the trebuchet is not far, at most only about 200 meters, in addition, because of the problem of manpower, so, the accuracy is a big problem, the stone thrown, either far or near, and then it is left and right. Well, in other words, it's a matter of human trebuchet, which is basically a matter of aiming. Whether or not you can hit the enemy is a matter of luck.

And what about torsion trebuchets? This kind of trebuchet uses some tendon nooses to pull and mix to generate power to throw stones. This kind of trebuchet, because it is also a semi-mechanical problem, its accuracy and range are much better than that of a human trebuchet.

At that time, it was impossible for Lewis to make such a torsional trebuchet now. Because of the most critical tendon noose, Liu Yi has no way to make it, because the method of making this kind of thing has long been lost, even if it is an encyclopedia, there is no way to make this kind of thing. What's more, in fact, this trebuchet was invented in ancient times in Western Europe. In China, after the advent of gunpowder, especially after the invention of artillery in the real sense in the Song and Ming dynasties, our Han people have long since eliminated this less practical instrument.

Therefore, Liu Yi had no choice but to choose to make zuò Our Chinese ancestors had already invented the trebuchet that made zuò.

Finding blacksmiths, carpenters, and other craftsmen, Liu Yi drew drawings of himself according to the method described in the encyclopedia on how to make a human trebuchet. Then he told the blacksmiths and carpenters one by one to get out the parts of the trebuchet according to what Lewi said.

The human trebuchet, in fact, the most important thing is the lever, as long as the lever is solid enough, then the trebuchet can be used for a long time, constantly firing stones.

It just so happened that thousands of catties of iron were brought back in the Jiangling Mansion, and it was just right to hand over the iron bloom to the blacksmith to make the lever set by Liu Yi. Otherwise, just use local materials.

Gan Ning has been a little impatient in the past few days, because Liu Yi told him that after returning from Jiangling, he can send troops to attack those water thieves in Dongting Lake. However, since Liu Yi came back to deal with some things, after watching the training of sailors, Liu Yi locked himself in the room, and from time to time mysteriously called some blacksmiths and carpenters, and he didn't know what he was doing.

On the seventh day after Liu Yi returned to Gangneung, the first trebuchet was finally made.

Because it was intended to be placed on the ship, Liu Yi did not exaggerate as stated in the encyclopedia, and did not make the lever dozens of feet long. Hehe, the lever dozens of feet long is almost twenty meters long, which is too long. Therefore, the lever that Liu Yi asked the blacksmith to make was only about ten meters long.

Then, there was a wooden frame made by a carpenter, and the frame was not very large, but it was also seven or eight meters high at that time, and it was used to erect levers.

Lewi first transported all the components of the trebuchet to the field, and then assembled the trebuchet with his own hands and craftsmen.

As soon as it was assembled, Gan Ning and Xun Wenruo came to hear the news. In fact, they had been paying attention to Liu Yi for a long time and didn't know what Liu Yi was doing.

As soon as they arrived, they saw the trebuchet that Leoy had just assembled.

"W-What is this?" Gan Ning has little knowledge and can't see what it is for a while.

"This is a trebuchet?" Xun Wenruo understands the goods, and he can see it at a glance.

"Okay! Brother Liu Yi, what are you doing mysteriously these days, it turns out that you have come up with something. I thought it was some kind of novelty. Zhang Jun also recognized it as a trebuchet and exclaimed.

"Haha, isn't it a trebuchet? What do you think it is? "Lewi left them alone, he was busy starting the first stone launch.

"What did you make a trebuchet for? This thing can't be eaten. Gan Ning felt that Liu Yi was looking for something to do.

"Well, that's what you don't understand, just wait and see." Leo Yi straightened up, pointed to a newly built stone wall in front of him, and said, "Look at that wall, see if I can destroy it with one shot." ”

"What? What wall can you destroy with this round stone in your hand? Gan Ning looked incredulous.

The wall was built by Liu Yi as a stone-throwing target, and it was all built with stones. It is more than a hundred steps from the location of the trebuchet, that is, about one hundred and fifty meters.

The range of about 150 meters is the distance that Liu Yi estimated to be a few hundred meters away. If you can be prepared to hit a target a hundred and fifty meters away, this is already very good, because the range of the arrow is about this distance.

Usually watching movies or watching animations, often throw a boulder bullet the size of a person, that is unlikely, the general trebuchet, the stone thrown, about ten catties left. If a stone is too heavy, it will be difficult to move.

"Look at it!" Leuy set the stone in a wooden spoon and pulled a string. The rope passed through a pulley made by Liu Yi and pulled up the heavy and long iron lever.

"This is the beginning of the experiment?" Gan Ning saw that Liu Yi was about to launch the stone so casually, and couldn't help but ask stupidly.

Oh, what if you don't just test it like this? This thing is not a real cannon, you don't need to aim, just load the stone, pull the rope, use the principle of the lever to generate power, and throw the stone out.

"Everybody, watch that wall!" Leo Yi pulled the rope to a tight grip, then let go suddenly, only to hear the lever slam down with a loud bang.

When the lever fell suddenly, it drove the spoon at the other end, generating momentum, and with a whirl, the stone inside the spoon was launched.

With a snap, I saw that the stone made an arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Gan Ning actually dared to laugh at Liu Yi, as if he was dissatisfied with Liu Yi, and didn't take him to eliminate the water thieves in Dongting Lake. Let him take those soldiers to practice all day long, all of them are capable, and his skin is a little itchy.

The stone was dozens of meters away from the wall. However, what made Liu Yi feel a little happy was that the range was really not bad, the farthest, it was estimated that it could reach two hundred meters.

"Don't laugh, I'll do it again." Liu Yi felt that there should still be a chance to hit the stone wall, and only by hitting the stone wall could he see the power of the trebuchet.

In the midst of everyone's watching, Liu Yi not only threw a stone, but also threw a few shots in a row, and his criterion really didn't dare to compliment at that time, either it missed or hit far and close.

But maybe, the trebuchet in ancient times, although the standard is not enough, but it is impossible to always jerk off, right?

"Hey! Let me give it a try. Although Gan Ning didn't know what the use of Liu Yi had come up with this trebuchet, he looked at it at the time and thought it was quite interesting, and he wanted to try it if his hands were itchy.

"Well, if you come, you can come, I don't believe you can hit that stone wall." Liu Yi also thinks that it would be good to try his luck with another person.

After telling Gan Ning about the precautions on how to cast stone bombs, he flashed to the side and let Gan Ning try to fire.

And this Gan Ning, he didn't try it right away, but pulled up the lever, tried and tried, and then he moved his steps himself, as if he was aiming. After a while, he said, "Look at it!" “

He spoke, and then suddenly let go, only to hear a loud bang, the lever fell, threw the stone projectile, and then drew a beautiful arc in the air, only to hear a buzzing sound. The stone bullet slammed into the stone wall with an unmistakable thud.

With a bang, the stone wall was suddenly broken through a big hole.

For a moment, everyone present was stunned.

A stone that doesn't look too big can actually destroy a stone wall? It's amazing.

However, it was Liu Yi who was most shocked. Because he didn't expect that Gan Ning's stone bullet would be so accurate.
