Chapter 17: This King Greats You
"It's okay, I'm just talking."
Qin Ying smiled indifferently, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Chuge's face stiffen.
His face was unmoved, but he was in a good mood, and he didn't want to tease her too much, so he straightened up and said, "The battle outside the south gate is scorching, let's go there." ”
Although he didn't want her to get involved in the war, he was confident that he would protect her.
"But it's up to the prince to arrange."
Even if Jiang Chuge was mentally prepared, her forensic career had made her see too many bloody and cruel scenes.
But when she watched the soldiers fall in front of her, blood gushing out of their bodies, her ears filled with miserable wails, and all she saw in front of her was bloody and miserable, she even felt trembling and sadness from the depths of her soul.
At this moment, she wanted to cry very much, and her nose was even sour, but when she reached out and touched the corners of her eyes, there was clearly no half a tear.
"If you can't stand it, I'll send you back now?"
Qin Ying noticed the huge fluctuations in her mood, and she couldn't help but feel worried in her heart.
"I'm fine."
Jiang Chuge shook her head, she was just sorry for the suffering and bad luck suffered by these lives, and she was not so weak that she couldn't stand it.
Her brother once told her that two or more sides of a war cannot be all righteous, and that people live in the world and must learn to distinguish.
Now, she could see clearly that the armies attacking outside the city represented betrayal and killing, and that the defenders inside the city were righteous soldiers......
Jiang Chuge observed the battle situation and found that the enemy army outside the city kept throwing cobblestones and fire cans into the city; And climb the city wall with the help of a ladder and fight with the defenders of the city.
Under the cover of shield-wielding soldiers and archers, the soldiers pushing the chariot slowly approached the city gate, intending to break through the city gate.
The defenders of the city used methods such as pouring boiling oil, throwing stones, throwing fire pots, and shooting arrows with fire at the enemy.
The high walls of Yongzhou City gave the defenders in the city a geographical advantage, but the number of enemy troops was really not negligible.
As the war continued, the casualties on both sides increased, and at least at the southern city gate, the enemy forces outside the city had a faint advantage, and under the command of the opposing generals, they were obviously becoming more and more courageous.
If no reinforcements arrive in time, Yongzhou City will definitely not be able to be saved!
"Be careful~"
Jiang Chuge was observing and analyzing the battle situation, when Qin Ying's exclamation suddenly sounded in his ears.
She only felt that her left arm was violently pulled, and her body was tilted and crashed into Qin Ying's arms, and at the same time, a flying arrow wrapped in Ling Yan's murderous aura burst past her ears and shot towards the city wall behind her.
The arrows all sank into the wall, and the body of the arrow trembled violently, making a "buzzing" sound.
Jiang Chuge was shocked into a cold sweat, if it weren't for Qin Ying pulling her away in time, her head would definitely bloom.
Qin Ying glanced at the arrows that had all sunk into the wall.
If you are an ordinary soldier, after shooting an arrow into the city, it will be difficult for the arrow to sink into the wall entirely.
He looked in the direction the arrow was coming from......
Outside the city, Song Tuan sat on a tall horse, his face full of arrogance and pride.
Seeing Qin Ying coming over, he raised his right hand high, pointed at Jiang Chuge, clenched his palm into a fist with his palm facing down, and then stretched out his middle finger, making a very insulting gesture at Qin Ying.
Seeing this scene, Qin Yingshang's hand that was still holding Jiang Chuge's left arm tightened violently, a cold killing intent flashed in his dark eyes, and the breath of the whole person became cold and permeable in an instant.
His arm was scratched and hurt, Jiang Chuge looked up at him, but saw that his expression was cold and angry.
She followed his line of sight and happened to see Song Tu arrogantly and proudly retracting the extremely insulting gesture.
She felt a sudden in her heart, and she endured the pain in her arm and kept silent.
Although the distance was far away, Song Tu also saw the forbearance on Jiang Chuge's face, and with an evil hook of his lips, he no longer looked at this side.
Seeing this, Qin Ying also retracted his gaze, calmed down, and was about to talk to Jiang Chuge with his head sideways, but saw that her face was pale, and there were even fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Did you just get hurt?"
He let go of her arm and immediately looked at her right cheek and head, but there was no injury.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
Being manipulated like this, Jiang Chuge was not very comfortable, after all, the situation at this time was that the two armies were fighting!
She stretched out her right hand and gently pushed him away, and the reason why she didn't use her left arm, which was closer to him, was because her left arm was numb from his strong grip, and she could barely lift it.
This action made Qin Ying discover her abnormality, and the gaffe when she confronted Song Tu in the air was instantly remembered by him.
"I'm sorry to hurt you."
"It's just a little pain, Lord Yi doesn't have to mind. I came up with a weapon that could be used for long-range attacks, the three-bow bed crossbow, which fired three types of arrows, a three-arrow arrow, a trampling arrow, and a jackdaw arrow. Its range is between 300 and 400 zhang, far exceeding the ...... of bows and arrows."
Lu Qing is not in Yongzhou City at this time, otherwise, he, who is familiar with all kinds of hidden weapons, will definitely be her best helper.
"So good! If we can successfully kill the important generals of the enemy army, it will definitely distract their troops, which will be of great benefit to our military aircraft! ”
Knowing that Jiang Chuge was not a boastful person, Qin Ying responded and summoned the two brothers Luo Ming and Luo Han, who were arranged by him to come to guard the south gate, and asked them to assist Jiang Chuge in making a three-bow bed crossbow, obey his orders, and dispatch soldiers at will.
After arranging, he gave Jiang Chuge another signal canister, in case there were uncontrollable factors, she could call for help smoothly.
The three-bow bed crossbow, as the name suggests, is to combine the front, the main and the back, three large bows in two positive and one negative way, and install them on a pedestal for a "bed".
When used, turn the winch shaft located at the tail and drive the towing rope to pull the towing hook, pull the three large bows connected by the pulley, and then install the arrow used, you can hit the trigger on it with a little more force, and shoot the arrow.
Its range and lethality are the highest in the era of cold weapons!
With such a powerful weapon, the process of using it will naturally not be easy, and every time it is fired, it will require the power of twenty or thirty people.
After telling Luo Ming and Luo Han about the basic principle of the three-bow bed crossbow, Jiang Chuge discussed it with them.
Then the three of them rushed to the largest carpenter shop in Yongzhou City - Liu Ji Carpenter Shop.
After the shopkeeper Liu Cheng learned that Jiang Chuge wanted to make a powerful weapon to deal with the enemy army besieging Yongzhou City, he let her use anything in the shop at will, and he could send the men in the shop at will.
In addition, he personally went to other carpenter shops to persuade the shopkeepers of the other shops to join him in assisting Jiang Chuge.
The atrocities of the soldiers of Zhou Duan's Mansion a few days ago have made these shopkeepers remember them vividly, and the feeling of horror has not yet dissipated from the bottom of their hearts.
Now, if the city of Yongzhou is destroyed, it is impossible to imagine what kind of misfortune they will suffer.
The shopkeepers readily agreed to help and called for help.
So there was such a scene, everyone in Yongzhou City who knew some carpenter work went to Liu Ji's carpenter shop when they heard the news, and did their best to help Jiang Chuge.
Hundreds of people came to help, and it was inevitable that there would be a mixture of fish and dragons.
The skill is secondary, and the fear is that he will be mixed in with the spies and steal the method of production, which will make the defenders and the people in the city suffer.
In order to avoid this situation, Jiang Chuge only told Luo Ming, Luo Han, and Liu Cheng the specific method of making the three-bow bed crossbow.
Subsequently, Liu Cheng was responsible for grouping the carpenters who came.
After Liu Cheng left, Jiang Chuge concentrated on the drawing and painting, while Luo Ming and Luo Han waited next to her.
The prince of their family repeatedly explained that no matter what happened, the two of them must be protected by one person by Jiang Chuge's side.
After drawing the overall drawing, the detailed drawings of the parts are drawn, and the hour passes quickly and slowly.
Jiang Chuge was glad that she had an excellent memory, otherwise she would never have been able to memorize so much just because her brother had been dangling in front of her with drawings and kept talking about the detailed data of each part, as well as the method of installation and use, let alone come in handy today.
After the drawings were drawn, she handed them over to Liu Cheng and Luo Ming, who went to distribute the drawings to the carpenters who had already divided into groups and began to make them.
At the beginning of the tense production process, Jiang Chuge was responsible for inspection and guidance, as well as assembly, and Luo Han still followed behind her for safety.
Luo Ming and Liu Cheng are responsible for the scheduling and selection of materials.
Before you know it, the sky is getting darker.
After two failures, Jiang Chuge, with the assistance of Liu Cheng, a skilled craftsman, finally succeeded in assembling the first three-bow bed crossbow in a separate room.
"Luo Han, you go and inform Qin Yi...... Ahem...... Lord Yi said that he had successfully produced the first three-bow bed crossbow. ”
Jiang Chuge was so excited that he almost called out Qin Ying's name.
Although it was stopped in time, the two words that had been exported were still listened to by Luo Han.
It seems that the relationship between the prince of his family and Jiang Chuge is really as Lu Huwei said, it is extremely extraordinary!
Will she become Princess Yi?
Because his brother Luo Ming was here, Luo Han was not worried about Jiang Chuge's safety, and quickly headed towards the south city gate in response.
After about half a burnt of incense, he went and returned, and with him came three soldiers.
"Lord Jiang, the prince has an order to immediately transport the three-bow bed crossbow to the south gate tower."
"Okay."
Jiang Chuge estimated in his heart that the width of the city wall of Yongzhou City was indeed enough to accommodate a three-bow bed crossbow.
"Luo Ming, you continue to stay here, supervise and guide the carpenters with Shopkeeper Liu, and I'll go to the city tower to have a look."
Although he was sure that the method of production was correct, Jiang Chuge still had to watch this crossbow successfully fire the first three arrows with his own eyes before he could feel at ease.
"Master Jiang, don't worry, Shopkeeper Liu and I will not disappoint you."
"That's right, Master Jiang, you can go with confidence, and I'll leave it to Luo Ming and me to guard here."
Luo Ming and Liu Cheng both expressed their attitudes to reassure Jiang Chuge.
Jiang Chuge nodded, holding six bows and three arrows nearly seven feet long, and left with Luo Han and the four of them, heading to the South City Gate.
Yin Luohan and the four of them carried a three-bow bed crossbow, and it took two quarters of an hour to rush to the south city gate this time.
Qin Ying saw Jiang Chuge from a distance holding a bow and three arrows and arrows following behind Luo Han and the others.
He quickly glanced at the enemy troops outside the city who had entered a state of short rest, and then used his light skills to fly towards Jiang Chuge.
In just a few breaths, he descended in front of Jiang Chuge and landed silently.
After he ordered Luo Han and the four of them to go up to the city tower first, he said to Jiang Chuge: "Tired, right?" Give me. ”
He was gentle in his voice and in his complexion.
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to catch a bow and three arrows that were taller than her among Jiang Chu's singers.
Jiang Chuge was momentarily stunned because of his gentleness, and when he reacted, he had already taken all the bows and arrows.
"Puff~"
Jiang Chuge couldn't help laughing, and the nervousness that arose from worrying about whether the power of the three-bow bed crossbow was as good as she said was lightened a lot.
"Why are you laughing?"
Qin Ying frowned slightly, and there was no emotion on his cold face, but in those deep black eyes, he was full of tenderness and doting.
On the city wall, Luo Han had already instructed the soldiers to place the three-bow bed crossbow, Jiang Chuge looked at it and felt that there was no problem, so he looked sideways at Qin Ying: "It's no problem to place, you call twenty or thirty people, cooperate with each other to rotate the tail hinge, put a bow and three arrows into the arrow slot, and it can be launched." ”
"Hmm."
Qin Ying waved his hand and rushed behind him, covered in blood from the previous bloody battle, and even Liu Bo, who was injured many times, ordered: "Immediately transfer thirty elite soldiers!" ”
