Chapter 602: Improvement
Si Ba didn't just come over to scold Lei Leopard for Chenguang.
Three days later, the rear team arrived, and the previous twenty carts, which did not even have a box on them, were pulled by horses, and a cart was fenced on all sides.
The carriage entered the barracks, stopped in an open area, and several soldiers got into the carriage, pulled down the outermost wooden fence, lifted the end of the cart and poured it out. There was a screeching sound, and many arrows wrapped in leaves were thrown to the ground. Twenty carts were piled up in twenty piles, filling the original open space.
"I heard that the archers of the army of Longxi Kingdom are very powerful, and this is given to you by His Highness." Si Ba smiled and said, "Your Highness has worked a lot, there are not enough people, if it weren't for Her Highness still guarding Hanjing, she would have personally brought people there." ”
Chang Xi picked up an arrow on the ground and went to the leaves that wrapped the arrow, the jet-black arrow, glowing with a green glow in the sun, exuding a bitter and slightly pungent taste.
"See blood seal your throat." Chang Xi smiled and said, "This thing has finally come in handy!" ”
There is a wetland in the land of the original phoenix underworld, and there is a kind of poisonous wood growing in it, which will kill people as long as it enters the blood, so it is called "seeing blood and sealing the throat", which is more powerful than the grass aconitum that is often smeared on arrows in Middle-earth. It was also because the poison was so strong that it was terrifying, it turned out that no one in the Feng Ming Kingdom dared to approach that wetland, and regarded it as a forbidden place, but in fact, it was just a poison that walked blood. However, because of people's fear of wetlands, from this wetland, through the poisonous wood forest, is the underground city of Shengzi Mountain.
"It's not easy to get poison juice, Your Highness said, let you save some use, otherwise you won't be able to supply it later." Also, send people to guard it well, don't let people and animals approach, and don't let the people of Long Xiguo rob them and cheapen them. ”
"You go back and tell Your Highness, and you will say that I will definitely cherish every arrow as if it were Your Highness." Chang Xi said with a smile.
Si Bapi looked at him with a smile: "I'll reply for His Highness, Lord Changxi doesn't have to be like this." ”
Chang Xi snorted in an unwilling tone.
At this moment, there was a heavy rumbling sound from the ground, which was so loud that it startled the people. The soldiers present followed the prestige in amazement, and in the distance, several horses and manpower cooperated with manpower, transporting large objects like triangular towers, and under the careful count, there were twelve in total.
These giant objects were parked in the military camp of the Feng Ying Kingdom, which attracted many people to be curious and amazed.
There are wheels under the giant, and from the appearance, some people who know it should recognize that this should be a trebuchet commonly used in siege, but this big guy is bigger than the usual trebuchet. The cannon ends are on a wooden frame, and one end is tied with a rope to hold a "spoon" that can hold a stone bullet, and the other end is tied with a number of ropes for people to pull and throw. There are only two or three cannons in general, and the manpower used by large trebuchets is only about a dozen people at most, but the trebuchet sent today is a giant trebuchet, a shelf is equipped with seven cannon tips, and the stone bullets are soft and elastic leather bullet sleeves, and many ropes are tied to the seven cannon tips, looking at the number of those ropes, the human power of hundreds of people can be used visually.
The soldiers of the Feng Ming Kingdom watched in amazement as the twelve "behemoths" were pushed into the barracks, and their mouths opened in surprise, they had seen Long Xiguo's trebuchet, Long Xiguo's trebuchet was much smaller than this, and there were not so many cannons.
Si Qian and Chang Xi were also surprised, and they were also surprised.
Seven cannon tips require hundreds of manpower, which shows that the newly modified trebuchet has a longer range, and there is no need to worry about being easily destroyed by the enemy because it is too close to the enemy's range, and this trebuchet can hold more stone projectiles, which are huge, powerful, and destructive.
"It's been almost ten years since Long Xiguo brought out the pattern of the trebuchet, and it was all made at the beginning of the year, Your Highness has tried it, it is powerful and can be used." Si Baluo was proud, and said happily, "This is the wisdom of our Feng Ming people, although we used to only make farm tools, but it is only a trivial matter to really use the heart weapon, the Feng Ming people can survive in the desert where birds don't for hundreds of years and are not extinct, which shows that the Feng Ming people are very powerful!" ”
Chang Xi burst out laughing.
Without saying a word, Si Qian walked up to the trebuchet, stretched out his hand, and slowly touched the smooth wooden frame.
He remembered it, but he almost forgot it, because it had been ten years.
There is no such thing as a trebuchet in the Feng Ming Kingdom, because before His Royal Highness, the Feng Ming Kingdom has been without a fight, until His Royal Highness overstepped his authority, she established the Weapons Yamen in the name of King Lian. At that time, it was just a small fight, and the Feng Ming people would only use their brains on farm tools to keep themselves fed, and they had never seen weapons at all, except for going into battle shirtless when fighting, that is, throwing stones with bare hands, and using soil to confuse each other's eyes. So later, when His Royal Highness went to Long Xiguo and his relatives, he tried every means to steal Long Xiguo's weapon patterns.
The biggest harvest was when His Royal Highness planned to leave Longxi Kingdom, and he didn't know which tendon was wrong with Emperor Longxi, who was still King Rong at that time, originally he had always been very defensive of His Highness, but at that time, the two of them were going to travel, and there was something in the army that needed to be dealt with by King Rong, His Highness took the opportunity to say that he wanted to go with him, and King Rong agreed. That was the time, just in time for the military drill in the barracks, His Royal Highness sent Si Shi to sneak in quietly, secretly remembering the style of the main weapons of Long Xiguo, and after going back, he drew it as it was, including trebuchets.
But only the pattern is not enough, there is no point in copying other people's existing weapons, weapons can only suppress the enemy if they are stronger than the other party, if it is the same as the other party, it will not have an advantage at all, but the enemy has been using it for many years, and the experience is definitely more than those who have copied it later, and it will be more flexible and easy to use.
So, the order given by His Royal Highness to the armory workshop back then was not to copy, but to improve, and to change it to be more powerful than Long Xiguo's trebuchet, which was extremely powerful.
This really embarrassed the old people who could only make farm tools, and the old people in the armory workshop had studied for so many years after receiving the order.
But fortunately, it was finally made, and it happened to be used on the battlefield with Long Xiguo, and it took so much thought back then, just for today's battle.
The last two carriages brought in a few large boxes, but they had to be parked at a distance because there was nowhere to park nearby.
Si Ba walked over first.
Si Qian and Chang Xi followed.
Already a few creeps jumped on the car and moved the wooden boxes off the car.
Seeing their carelessness, Si Ba hurriedly instructed: "You should be careful, if these explode, you will all ascend to heaven, not the things inside that will allow you to ascend to heaven, Your Highness will also let you ascend to heaven!" ”
