readx; After returning to the room, Yun Zheng's brows condensed again, Li Qing's behavior made him feel very uncomfortable, and the matter in Lanzhou was very variable because of Brother Chun'er's indiscriminate addition. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At first, I thought that among the two couples of Brother Chun'er and Xiaoman, it was Xiaoman who played a leading role, but I didn't expect things to be different from what I thought, and Brother Chun'er was the real head of the family.

It was indeed destroyed, but this was destroyed with Li Qing's conscious cooperation, and it was impossible for Li Qing not to know that Fu Bi's cavalry would pass through Lanzhou City.

So, what exactly is this guy doing this for?

Yun Zheng knew this secret, but he knew it a little late, the reason why he sent the elite Jingxi Army and Xiaoman to Lanzhou to intercept and kill Xiao Hu'er was to drive away Xiao Hu'er, so that they would not become an obstacle to the eastward advance of the Fu Bi cavalry, this plan Brother Chun, Xiao Man, Chen Shu They handled it very well, the only pity was that he did not kill Li Qing, Li Qing would rather see Xiao Hu'er being killed, and did not choose to participate in the war, but chose to turn around and leave, without stopping for a moment.

When the follow-up army sent by Yun Zheng to intercept Li Qing arrived in Lanzhou, Li Qing's camel team had already crossed the Kaluo River and returned to the Western Xia Kingdom with countless custom-made iron tools, so the establishment of the Poxi army was already an unstoppable thing.

In the information sent by the secret spy department, Li Qing occupies a lot of space, this Han whose ancestral home is in Xizhou, has long had no sense of belonging to the Great Song Dynasty in his heart, and he, like the Zhang family in Western Xia, will only think that the Western Xia country he established is his motherland, and wants them to open up to the Great Song Dynasty. It's simply not feasible.

For the Great Song Dynasty, the small country of Xixia, which was divided into the barren land in the northwest, was simply a nightmare. Behind these classic battle examples that have been included in textbooks, it is inseparable from the planning of a Han military advisor named Zhang Yuan. This talented person who went to the country and left his hometown has lived up to his talents in his life's work.

When Yun Zheng went to Western Xia, this person had already died of illness, otherwise. On Yun Zheng's must-kill list, this person is even higher than Li Yuanhao.

Yun Zheng is actually a very proud person in his bones, he is proud of his bloodline, especially when he suddenly leaped from the modern era to the Song Dynasty, this feeling suddenly became more obvious, therefore. Even after Qingyi's suicide, he only felt sad, but there was not much grief, although there was only a word difference, the emotions represented were different.

Yun Zheng believes that many things in history are accidental, and people are the primates of heaven and earth. How can you always be angry with birds and be at peace with yourself?

This is true of elites, and so are mortals. Piffle's Wrath. Sometimes it's just a headshot, but sometimes it's a long rainbow. The pawn called, Hangu Ju. The Chu people burned, pitiful scorched earth.

So he never let go of this possibility.

Bo Bo heard in Liaodong that he had become a prince, and he led his army to plunder the Liao State, and he heard that the nobles of Liaodong Tokyo would all tremble as long as they heard the name of Haidongqing. Such a reputation has never been possessed even by the great heroes of the Jurchens.

Li Qing is really a variable. At the beginning, he was just a ghost under his sword, but he didn't expect to go to the west, and he was able to win a hundred battles, and in five years, three hundred Kexiong City Although this is obviously a Western Xia people bragging, but thirty cities This guy has definitely conquered.

There are some things that they don't know, whether it is Brother Chun, Xiaoman, or Chen Shu, and Yun Zheng only figured out what Li Qing did in Lanzhou City when Li Qing was about to return to China.

- Ballista!

This is all the purpose of Li Qing's coming to Lanzhou, he did not come to Lanzhou to treat diseases, let alone to stay away from the political disputes of the Western Xia Kingdom, his only purpose in coming to Lanzhou was to prepare to expand his power and form a new army - the Poxi Army!

When an army like Xiao Hu'er, which had already exerted its ** strength to the extreme, still couldn't deal a devastating blow to a Song army, he completely threw Xiao Hu'er into Lanzhou City to see how much of a blow this army could inflict on the Song army.

The result was disappointing for him, the Song army buried gunpowder in the market, and as a result, he suffered heavy losses, and only a few hundred people could come back alive.

From this temptation, he was completely sure that as long as he did not change the combat methods of his subordinates, no matter when he encountered the elite Jingxi Army, he would still be unable to escape the fate of annihilation, and the Song Army, which had been equipped with a large number of firearms, was really not an army that could be resisted by manpower.

The fear of gunpowder bullets seemed to have been engraved on Li Qing's soul, so he was always looking for weapons that could compete with bed crossbows and gunpowder bullets.

Finally, during an assault on the city of Salamahan, he finally discovered a new weapon, which caused him heavy losses to his men and nearly killed himself, but the discovery made him ecstatic.

And this discovery is the weapon ballista from the distant country of Hera (Greece), this kind of ballista is completely different from the weapon of the Song people with elastic substances such as ox tendon, and the range is much longer than the twisted ballista of the Song people, but what he praises most is that the accuracy of this is no less than that of the bed crossbow.

The Ballista designed by the Helarians (Greeks) had a sturdy bracket on which the main beam rested on the bracket and two torsion spring sets on either side of the front end, each of which drove a crossbow arm with a bowstring attached to the center of which was a braided mesh bag for the projectile.

The upper side of the beam has a long dovetail groove, a slide with a long guide rail can slide back and forth along the long groove, and the rear end of the slider is equipped with a set of ingenious firing mechanism.

The bowstring can be easily locked and released, and the end of the beam is equipped with a winch that allows the user to move the slider by flipping the handle or dragging the rope. When the bowstring is pulled back and fixed by the firing mechanism, the weapon is in a state of readiness.

In order to make it less laborious to operate the winch, metal racks were set on both sides of the beam, which not only made it possible to open the bow in one go, but also adjusted the projectile power of the weapon to obtain the required range. Later, the metal rack was replaced by a round ratchet, making the operation easier and more reliable.

In order to give the ballista a flexible direction and elevation angle, they designed a base for the ballista that could rotate freely, but this was not the earliest universal joint design in the world, and the Oriental Mozi detailed the transfer machine.

With such a sharp weapon, the gunpowder bullets of the Song people could not threaten their own formation, whether it was range and lethality, their own ballistas and Yun Zheng's bed crossbows could be comparable, as long as they had a large number of ballistas, Yun Zheng's kind of melee weapon gunpowder bullets would not pose a threat to themselves.

The only thing that gave him a headache was that the metal racks and ratchets needed for the ballistas could not be made in Western Xia, and even if they were, the rough metal smelting process made the racks and ratchets fragile and unusable.

wanted to use wind-milled copper instead, when Yu Hou calculated the required expenses, Li Qing had to give up this ridiculous idea, there was the money to make ballistas, which could crush the Song army to death.

Fortunately, in recent years, the metal smelting process of the Great Song Dynasty has made great progress, especially in Huanzhou, which has almost become the center of metal trading, so I asked some businessmen who were good friends with Xixia to go to Huanzhou to customize a large number of iron racks and ratchets to bring Lanzhou delivery, so there was Li Qinglan and his party.

To him, the fine iron parts produced by the Eagle's Nest were definitely much more important than the Horror Beard.

Li Qing had read translated Western books, and there was such a record of ballistas, and he was very interested.

During the siege of Jerusalem by the Romans, the Jewish general Josephus recalled that one of his companions, who was standing side by side on the wall, was knocked off the head by a projectile fired from a Roman ballista!

A pregnant woman in the city was hit by a stone bullet and her baby was thrown a hundred feet away! The Romans' giant ballistae could crush an enemy from a distance of 130 feet, and their spears could pin two or three enemies to the ground in a dense formation.

In addition, the accuracy of the ballista is also breathtaking, they can even hit the same place repeatedly, there has been a record of the spear fired by the ballista splitting the spear that had been hit in front of it into two pieces, such a thing is definitely worth making on a large scale, Li Qing has fallen into absolute madness about this.

Thinking of Li Qing's precision iron parts from the precision casting of the Eagle's Nest, Yun Zheng's mouth was bitter, and with the vigorous development of the coal industry and foundry industry in Huanzhou over the years. A whole set of the most rigorous primary industrial system has been formed there, and now, the reputation of these small industries has become famous abroad, and even Li Qing knows that he can not make things there to make, and he has been ignoring them all these years.

Yun Zheng now wanted to know if those bastards had made artillery, something that he had already commanded, in batches before making sharp weapons for the enemy.

Li Qing wanted to fight with himself, a futuristic person, to kill people, Yun Zheng didn't think that this guy had much chance of winning, Li Qing's behavior was like a monkey jumping around in the forest after suddenly learning to use the weapon of a wooden stick, after challenging a majestic warrior wearing armor and holding a shovel-shaped corpse crossbow in front of him, the consequences did not need to be thought about.

The reason why I stayed in Wutai Mountain for one more day was to wait for the first real artillery in this world to appear in front of me.

When the king of the battlefield, artillery, appeared, any cold weapon was nothing more than a passing cloud in front of it...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come)
