Chapter 64: Making a repeater
Soon, all the craftsmen of Qisu arrived at Hui Mansion. Xiao Li also took the old man to Hui Mansion, and everyone looked at Hui Yuzhong in front of him with a puzzled expression.
"Everyone, be quiet." Hui Yuzhong motioned to the people below to stop talking, "General Ben called you to the General's Mansion today to make you a weapon. It's about whether or not we can keep the Qi Su! ”
Everyone immediately quieted down, looking at Hui Yuzhong's serious face, and they all wanted to do their part.
"Li'er, let's talk about it!" Hui Yuzhong beckoned to Xiao Li, "The production of this weapon is a bit difficult, and someone needs to explain it." ”
Xiao Li took the old man to the front again, and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that now the Hui family army is fighting with Zheng Guo's army outside the city, but because we don't have enough people, I designed a repeater crossbow to help them with this." ”
"First, I'll show you the blueprints of the repeater." Xiao Li took out the drawings and passed them on, "Because of the urgency of time, I only made one, so you can circulate it." ”
Everyone was very dissatisfied at first, and it was actually a woman's family who explained to them. But when they saw the drawings designed by Xiao Li, they couldn't say anything, they didn't believe that a woman could come up with such a design.
A bold person said directly: "You didn't design this at all, did you?" Could it be stealing someone else's design and fooling us here! Or rather, such a design is not used at all. After saying that, the man smiled contemptuously.
Xiao Li didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "You take a closer look at what is drawn on the drawings yourself, and the design will definitely be able to deter Zheng Guo's army." You don't believe I designed it, so who do you think would have designed it? ”
"Anyway, we just don't believe you, or maybe the old man next to you designed it." The people below still didn't believe Xiao Li.
"This old man can't think of it." The old man put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "The design of this repeater is indeed designed by the person next to me, you can rest assured." ”
"If you still don't believe me, look at what I've got." Xiao Li said and took out the repeater in his hand, "I just asked this old man to make it temporarily, if you can try its power, I can give you a demonstration." ”
"Plum blossom, bring the plank." Xiao Li made the action of launching.
The plum blossom immediately held a wooden board and stood it in front of everyone. The people below were still discussing, Xiao Li took a deep breath and aimed at the plank.
I heard a "boom", and the three arrows were fired together. The eyes of the crowd followed the arrow, and they saw that three holes had been poked out of the wooden board. At this time, everyone didn't dare to speak, and they all believed everything Xiao Li said.
"This isn't the final repeater." Xiao Li's red lips hooked, "You can really fire five arrows at once, and the speed is faster than this." It's just that I don't think you can make a repeater with five arrows, so I'm simplifying it a bit. ”
"You've also seen that the design on the design drawings is very complex and very demanding, and if there is any mistake, then you can't make a repeater like this." Xiao Li held a repeater in his hand, looked at the people in the audience and said, "I dare to say that everyone here, even if you are given drawings, few of them can make a repeater like this." ”
"I know everybody wants to do something, but if you don't believe me, you can't do anything."
The few troublemakers below didn't speak anymore, and listened to Xiao Li honestly.
"Young lady, go on, we believe you!" A middle-aged man who looked calm said.
Immediately, many people chimed in and said, "Yes, young lady, we all believe in you!" ”
"Okay, since you believe me, I'll go on." Xiao Li looked at the enthusiastic people below and smiled, "The most important design of the repeater is the arrow groove, you must pay attention to it when you do it, it must be accurate here, and there can be no slightest mistake." The slightest deviation will affect the power of the repeater. ”
"When the time comes, I'll have someone copy the drawings and send them to you. If you don't understand something, you can ask the old man directly. Time is of the essence, and I hope you can all remember the design on the drawing by now. Xiao Li's expression was serious, "And this time the Hui family army needs a hundred repeating crossbows, the demand is too great, but we must complete this difficult task." ”
"How many days?" One person asked.
"It's only a day or two." Xiao Li's words exploded in the crowd like thunder.
"How is this possible? In a day or two, we have to do such a complicated thing, and we have to make a hundred, it's a bit embarrassing! Everyone at the bottom was arguing, "It's too hard!" ”
"Everyone, be quiet!" Xiao Li cleared his throat, "I know it's hard, but we have to do so much, so we need so many of us to work together to accomplish this task." All of you here are knowledgeable people, and you are not the kind of beginners. If the coordination is good, it can be made. Now that Zheng Guo's army is pressing towards the city of Qisu step by step, do you have to wait until Qisu is broken to make it? ”
"Now you divide the work, and everyone is responsible for different parts, and then they are spliced together." Xiao Li began to assign tasks to them.
"Can you do it?" Xiao Li raised his voice.
"Yes!" The blood of everyone was also stimulated, although they could not fight against Zheng Guo's army as the Hui family's army, but they could also contribute to this war.
"Okay, you all go back now. I'll have the drawings delivered to your shop later. Xiao Li let out a long breath and dismissed all these people. No. 3 Chinese Network
At this time, Hui Shangyi and Xie Yunxiu walked over to Xiao Li, and also saw the old man next to Xiao Li.
"Li'er, it's all done?" Hui Shangyi ran directly to Xiao Li.
"Well, but it will take two days to make it." Xiao Li nodded, then frowned again, "Can you resist?" ”
"It should be able to ......," Hui Shangyi didn't dare to guarantee, "Even if I can't bear it, I will fight until the last moment." ”
"Don't worry about that." Xie Yunxiu said with a smile, "Zheng Guo's army needs to rest, and it will take about a day or two. Zheng Guo's camp was already far away from us, and Dugu Yin wanted to capture Qi Su too much, causing Zheng Guo's soldiers to rush overnight, and if they wanted to recover their strength, they had to wait. So they shouldn't be attacking for the next two days. ”
"In the meantime, we can send a small group of soldiers to harass Zheng Guo's army, and once we anger them, we will immediately return to the city, and the archers on the city tower will be ready." Xiao Li continued with Xie Yunxiu.
"Well, the young lady thinks the same as me!" Xie Yunxiu looked at Xiao Li with appreciative eyes, and it was a little better to discuss military affairs with Xiao Li than with Hui Shangyi, "In this way, Zheng Guo's army will be consumed by us." ”
"But what if they don't fall for it?" Hui Shangyi looked at the two of them and suddenly said.
"It's okay not to be fooled, we are also harassing them constantly, and there is less danger." Xie Yunxiu smiled and said, "This also buys some time." ”
"Oh, that's a great idea!" Hui Shangyi nodded as if he didn't understand, and looked at the old man, "Who is this old man?" ”
"This is the senior who made me the meniscus!" Xiao Li introduced, "If it weren't for him, my meniscus wouldn't be that strong. He also made the repeater I designed, which was even better than I could have imagined. ”
"It's rude, senior." Xie Yunxiu listened to Xiao Li's introduction and understood that this old man was a master of weapon design, so he hurriedly saluted.
"Hahaha, the old man is not as good as she said, he just likes it." The old man touched his beard and said with a smile, "And I'm quite interested in the weapons designed by this girl." ”
"I don't know what the seniors call it?" Xie Yunxiu asked respectfully.
"The old man is Iraku." Iroz smiled.
"Xiaosheng Xie Yunxiu."
"There's still a lot of things going on, Ah Xiu, let's go!" A subordinate walked up to Hui Shangyi, said a few words in his ear and urged Xie Yunxiu to leave.
"It's nothing, the old man is gone." Seeing that it was okay, Ilo planned to leave, "I have to make the crossbow overnight." ”
"Well, good! I'll send you back. Xiao Li nodded and sent Yiluo away.
Outside the city, Zheng Guo's military camp.
"General, everything is done. Now the soldiers are resting. A soldier walked in and said to Dugu Yin.
"Well, you go down." Dugu Yin turned his back to the soldiers, "Call Yu Zhuoqi." ”
"Yes!"
"What is the general looking for me?" Yu Zhuoqi walked in and stood behind Duguyin.
"Mr. Yu, what should we do now?" Dugu Yin turned around and asked Yu Zhuoqi with a frown.
"General, this is not in a hurry." Yu Zhuoqi smiled, "We can delay the attack for a few days." ”
"Why?" Dugu Yin asked strangely, "Isn't this giving the Hui family army time to rectify?" ”
"No matter how powerful the Hui family army is, can they recruit tens of thousands of soldiers in these few days?" Yu Zhuoqi's tone was full of contempt, "Even if there is, they don't have time to practice." I used to think that the Hui family army was about the same number as us, but today it is too different, so we don't need to worry about this problem at all. It's good for us to consume, Yizhou is too far away from the base camp, and they estimate that it will take two or three days to arrive. When the time comes, we will attack at the same time and take them by surprise. Let's see what energy the Hui family army still has to keep Qi Su! ”
"Hahaha, Mr. Yu is really far-sighted! General Ben admires! Dugu Yin laughed and patted Yu Zhuoqi's shoulder with his hand, "No sir, General Ben doesn't know what to do now!" ”
"The general has won the prize." Yu Zhuoqi gave Dugu Yin a salute and replied humbly.
