Chapter 31 Arise, you who do not want to be slaves
"Wonderful, wonderful, haha, with this, the elimination of the Huns is just a matter of an eye, haha......" Motuo suddenly laughed, startling everyone next to him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He remembered that after having this thing, he would have a chance to defeat the Huns, and he couldn't help but get up.
Chen Guang is not as easy as him, Chen Guang has a lot to do, the first is to measure the distance between the explosion point and the stone thrower, according to the jargon is the range of this stone thrower, only when the range reaches a certain standard, this stone thrower is qualified - if you throw it in front of you, then it will not be a suicide?
After measurement, the range of this trebuchet reached an astonishing seventy zhang!
This is a god-like distance, Chen Guang already knows that in the Yuan Kingdom, there is a kind of bone spirit longbow, which is made of animal bones, plus baking glue, etc., its pulling force is eighty catties, and the firing range is more than fifty zhang, and as for the heavy crossbow in the Central Plains, the pulling force is more than two hundred catties, and the range can even reach more than eighty zhang. But this kind of heavy crossbow can't be played by one person, and it actually needs to use a winch, and the size is not much different from Chen Guang's stone thrower.
Just imagine, the distance between the two sides of the battle is fifty zhang, but the opposite side uses a single attack skill, and you use a group attack skill, which one is more powerful?
"Son-in-law, you are really capable." Motuo patted Chen Guang on the shoulder and said.
Chen Guang responded silently in his heart, your daughter?
"It's just a small problem, how about it, is it worth your ten thousand taels? I'll ask you this. ā
Motuo said loudly: "It's worth it, it's really worth it, if you know that it's so powerful, not to mention 10,000 taels, even if it's 100,000 taels, it's not a problem." ā
Chen Guang asked curiously, "Didn't you say that you had no money that day?" ā
"Huh? Did I say it? Murtuo was astonished.
"Forget it, I didn't say it." Chen Guang didn't bother with these things with him, since he wanted the project to make money, he looked down on money - anyway, all the money in the Qianguo after becoming emperor was his.
Motuo smiled and said, "Let's go, I'm going to celebrate your achievements, and I'm going to drink three bowls with you." ā
Chen Guang was speechless, followed Motuo back to the capital, and when he left, he told him to guard this place well.
Subsequently, Chen Guang made a scale for this trebuchet, which can achieve different ranges, and this is the end of the process. The cost of such a stone throwing machine is only about five taels of silver, and the cost of materials is not high, but only the cost of technology, and technology has no cost for Chen Guang at all.
Motuozhen allocated another 20,000 taels of silver to mass produce the stone thrower and the Child of Light No. 1.
After another half a month, Motuo suddenly announced in the court that he would declare war on the Xiongnu.
When he said this sentence in front of the civil and military officials, more than a hundred people in the entire hall were shocked, and then boiled.
"Your Majesty, the strength of the Xiongnu is strong, and now although our Yuan Kingdom has made great progress, it is not enough to compete with the Xiongnu, so I hope to think twice." As soon as Motuo's words fell, someone jumped out to object.
"Yes, Your Majesty, war is not child's play, please think twice about it."
None of them had heard of a war with the Huns before, and they had never noticed any sign of war, when Motuo suddenly announced it in the court, and everyone thought that Motuo was telling a joke on a whim, except for being shocked.
It has not been a day or two since the Xiongnu bullied the surrounding countries - not just the Yuan State, and no one wanted to get rid of the Huns as soon as possible, but there was no way, they could not defeat the Huns, so they could only swallow their anger.
And now, the strength of the Yuan State is completely insufficient to resist the Xiongnu, not to mention taking the initiative to attack the Xiongnu, even if it is to resist the attack of the Xiongnu, it is difficult to resist.
To fight the Huns with such strength, isn't that to touch the stone with an egg?
However, Motuo didn't care about this, the power of the Child of Light No. 1 had given him great confidence, and he felt that even if his own troops were less than the Huns, he would be able to defeat the Huns.
In the era of cold weapons, fighting a war depends on who has more people and who has more money, and who smashes it into it, and whoever is powerful wins, most of which is the case. But after entering the era of hot weapons, the importance of weapons is much greater than the importance of numbers, and in the face of powerful weapons, the difference in numbers is simply negligible.
The No. 1 and the stone thrower made by Chen Guang are still in a secret state, although many people know that Motuo built an earthen wall outside the city, but no one knows what is inside this wall, and Motuo also gave a death order, and anyone who leaks the news will be punished by the nine clans.
He wanted to hit the Huns by surprise.
During this period of time, the factory was not only stepping up the production of the Child of Light No. 1, but Chen Guang was not idle, he had trained a group of qualified operators who could use this stone throwing machine proficiently.
Moto felt that the time had come, so he announced the news in the court.
"I can't stand the oppression of the Huns anymore, I heard that Hexi County was robbed by the Huns a few days ago, and the people of the Yuan Kingdom are living in dire straits, as the king of a country, can I not be in a hurry?" Motuo tried to lay out the facts, reason, and persuade the ministers to support the attack on the Xiongnu.
"Your Majesty, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, the Huns are hateful, but they are strong, and they want to wrestle with them, we are not opponents now, only to strengthen ourselves first, and slowly try."
"Lord Sun is right, Your Majesty, the Huns are in the limelight today, not only our Yuan Kingdom, but also several other countries are suffering from the oppression of the Huns, even including the powerful Qianguo, and sometimes the border will be looted by the Huns. The Qianguo country did not dare to rush to send troops, so why should we be such a bird, Your Majesty? ā
Everyone can find a reason not to go to the army, and everyone's reason is so high-sounding.
Mo Tuo was a little angry at once, this is not right, this is unreasonable, how can you be a turtle with a shrunken head? Usually it's not said well, every time I talk about the Huns, I can't wait to rush out and fight to the death with them, why don't you even agree to send troops now?
However, if they did not agree, even if Motuo insisted on going his own way, he would not have succeeded, after all, he still had to rely on these courtiers.
Just when Motuo didn't know how to persuade everyone, there was the sound of gongs and drums outside.
Who's beating the gong and drum in this? This is the place of the court, who is so bold as to dare to come here to make a noise?
After the sound of gongs and drums, a high-pitched voice came from outside, almost roaring and singing a song.
"Arise, ...... you who do not want to be slaves" (To be continued.) )
