Chapter 356: The Tiger King's Troubles

Continuing to turn down, Renault found the output of the crossbow arrow production workshop, which is what Renault is most concerned about, the weapon armor will indeed be damaged, but the speed of damage is not fast, in the war of the Great Chu world, the biggest consumption is the arrow shot by the bow and crossbow.

According to the Great Chu military system, the light cavalry was equipped with a war horse, a set of light armor, a waist knife, a long knife or spear, a riding bow, and a pot of arrows (30).

Because the riding bow belongs to the light bow category, usually a stone or a stone and a half, the need for a pull is not strong, you can quickly release arrows on the horse, the range is closer, and the lethality is not very large, so the rate of fire is extremely fast, and the veteran who is skilled in the bow horse can ride and shoot thirty arrows in the air within a quarter of an hour.

In addition, every 1,000 people are equipped with a 100-person shooting battalion, equipped with medium-sized infantry crossbows, and each crossbow is equipped with 30 arrows, this kind of crossbow arrows are much larger and have a longer range, but the pull force required is stronger, and the crossbowmen need to rely on their legs and waist strength to wind, so after a battle, it is normal to shoot ten crossbows, and it is extremely rare to shoot more than twenty crossbows.

At the level of 10,000 people, there will also be a bed crossbow battalion.

In the regular army of Great Chu, almost everyone is equipped with a bow and crossbow, and a tentative attack can shoot tens of thousands of arrows. In the event of this kind of all-conquering battle, it is not uncommon to consume hundreds of thousands or even millions of arrows in a day.

In the past, the army of Great Chu relied on the accumulation of the craftsman battalion on weekdays, built every day, and in a year, it was able to accumulate a considerable number of arrows, but now it can't be done, especially when the Great Chu army loses more and wins less.

Arrows are different from bullet warheads, after being fired, those arrows that shoot can continue to be used, even if they hit the target, as long as the arrows are not damaged, they can continue to be used.

But you lost the battle, and it was the Austrians who cleaned the battlefield, and these undamaged arrows could not be recovered. The Aoren don't need arrows, but they will definitely not leave them to the Chu people, the arrows are burned, and the arrows are reheated.

In this way, the consumption of arrows in the Great Chu army is greater, and one less arrow is shot out, and a large number of arrows are needed to replenish every day.

When Renault was in Dingjun City, he saw how the Desert Legion craftsman battalion made arrowheads, they actually used the forging method, and then after grinding, a craftsman could not make a few arrows a day, or Renault taught them the casting method.

The casting method is fast, but the quality is not easy to grasp, there is no large amount of fine iron, and the arrows made of cast iron are half weaker.

With this in mind, Renault ordered the establishment of ten arrow mills, each equipped with two small blast furnaces, and cast three-shuttle armor-piercing arrows with barbs from alloy.

The woodworking workshop uses lathes to manufacture a large number of arrow shafts, as long as they are installed together, it is an excellent crossbow arrow, which is much stronger than the Ministry of Industry in terms of speed and quality.

Well, it's not bad, after half a month, the laboratory came up with the corresponding production process, after all, this thing is not very difficult, there is nothing innovative, it is finalized production.

Ten arrowheads, plus five carpentry workshops, can cast 1.6 million arrows per day, as well as the same number of arrowheads, but the labor required is relatively large. Don't look at the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Shengong City now, as long as they need to, they can transport coolies here from everywhere at any time, in fact, the personnel have reached a bottleneck, even if Wei Wenchang is willing to send people over, Renault will not dare to accept it.

After all, this is a desolate place, people have to eat, there is no rice here, and the more people there are, the more food supplies are needed. No matter how many beasts there are in the underground world, there is not enough for these people to eat, and the airships used to transport supplies every day account for more than half of the total number of airships in Shengong City.

A few days ago, Experiment No. 2 caught a large number of fresh fish, so that everyone ate with a smile on their faces, Renault through the God of Wealth, naturally can find fish, but he does not know which fish is delicious.

Experiment No. 2 is different in Lan Bing's hands, she is relying on her ability to find fish, so that the charge is convinced, here, with a fast boat like Experiment No. 2, Lan Bing's hands are itchy so much, just go out and run around, and bring back hundreds of tons of big fish.

There are almost no people in this area, the number of fish in the sea is huge, the general fish orchid ice is not worth it, all the fish caught are more than one meter long, the meat is delicious, even Renault is full of praise, it tastes much better than the fish he commanded to catch before.

"Sir!" Renault put down the document in his hand, glanced up, and nodded to signal the Tiger King to sit down, they are all his own family, you are welcome, there are only a few people who can enter the RV without notification, among the hundreds of thousands of people in Shengong City.

"Uncle Wang, but is there something wrong?" asked Renault, he knew that the Tiger King had been even more silent in the past six months.

It's no wonder he's depressed, he's different from Huya, who doesn't care about anything, just follows Renault. But the Tiger King, as a steward, is becoming more and more powerless.

He was originally just an ordinary member of the Tiger family, and following Renault's side, he could be regarded as powerful, even if Cui Qing saw him, he was extremely polite. But the Tiger King really has no management talent, and when there were few people, it was good to say, but when there were more people and more power, he was at a loss.

Shengong City is full of blast furnaces, and he also tried to manage them, but found that he couldn't manage even one blast furnace, let alone thousands of blast furnaces.

In fact, since half a year ago, the Tiger King has let go of the power in his hands and let others take care of it. With the full support of General Wei and His Majesty Chu Ren, a large number of talents have come here, and any one of them is much stronger than the Tiger King.

It's not that he doesn't listen to him, but he just listens to his instructions, which will only make things worse, and he made mistakes a dozen times a few times, and the Tiger King himself can't stand it.

In addition to management, the Tiger King is also a martial artist, but as time goes by, he finds that his martial arts talent is weak and pitiful, and he eats red ginseng every day, who has such conditions in the entire Great Chu?

Even Huya and Tiger Sister have reached the peak of the ninth grade, and only he is the Tiger King, who has just advanced to the ninth grade.

The Nine Rank Martial Artists, in their hometown, can be regarded as a hegemon, but in Shengong City, they are not even a fart, there are a large number of people at the peak of the Nine Ranks, and they cannot break the seal and become a sect, this kind of force has no right to speak in Shengong City, and no one cares about you.

It can be said that the Tiger King is now left only with the identity of Mr. Cronies, whether he has the ability or not, and whether he has the combat power or not. Although everyone still respects him, is that respect for him the Tiger King?

Walking on the road, those envious eyes cast over, like a stalk in the throat, like a mang on the back, he always felt that he was laughing at him, such a day, he couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep.

Uncle Wang, the tiger king who called almost shed tears, Mr. is still that gentleman. Now the status of Mr. is in full swing, even if he is far away in Nanzhang, his reputation is much greater than that of the Jin Shi beside His Majesty.

Who can be worthy of Mr. 'Uncle'?

Even if it is Song Zhe, Mr. will only call him Song Immortal, and as for the four grandmasters, it is normal to call him by his name.

"Sir, can I ask you something?" said the Tiger King, holding back his excitement.

"Uncle Wang, they are all members of their own family, and they have something to say. Renault looked at the Tiger King in surprise, he had too many things recently, and he didn't ask the Tiger King and the Tiger Girl how they were doing, they were not like tiger teeth, they were always dangling around him, and Renault really didn't know much about them.

"Sir, I would like to organize a unit and go to the front. Tiger King said. This is the result of thinking about it for more than half a year, he was originally a businessman's foot guard, he didn't know anything else except fighting, and he was not happy to be a steward in the Shengong Temple.

"Going to the front? No, absolutely not. Renault said firmly, even if he fully supports Da Chu, five years ago, the war in Da Chu will not improve, unless there is an immortal talent, an undefeated general, the possibility is not high.

Only when the weapons and equipment on the side of Shengong City are upgraded, and the generation gap between them and the armor of the Austrians is opened, and a group of troops who understand new combat methods are newly trained, will the trend of the war be slowly reversed.

Going to the front line now is no different from sending them to death, for a long time, the Great Chu people need to use their flesh and blood to block the progress of the Austrians.

"Sir, in my life, I don't know anything, I don't know much, I don't know much about business, I'm not as good as the old gang leader and the tiger sister gang leader, I'm not as good as Mr. Cui Qing, and I can't do much. In terms of martial arts, his talent is limited, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to break the seal in this life, and now he is over forty ......years old."

Over forty years old, put on the earth, this is, men forty-one flowers, the second spring has just sprouted. It's different in Dachu, the average lifespan is less than fifty, even if the tiger king lives long, I'm afraid he won't live for two to three decades, after all, people who can live to the age of seventy are too rare.

Breaking the seal and becoming a sect is a threshold for martial artists, and there may not be one of the thousands of nine-rank peaks who can reach it. The talent of the Tiger King is indeed not very good.

Renault remembered that when he first met him, the Tiger King was a third-grade martial artist, and at that time, Huya had just become a first-rank martial artist, and the resources enjoyed by the Tiger King were not much less than Huya's, but his improvement was very slow.

wants to push him to the grandmaster, Renault is not sure, if he can succeed, Renault will already help Huya break the seal and become a sect.

For a warrior, ten years is just a blink of an eye. Renault found that time passed so fast, and before he knew it, it was the fourth year that he had come to Da Chu.

Uncle Wang, this is to find something to do and realize self-worth.

Renault touched his chin and thought about it, this matter is not impossible, but it takes a lot of preparation, the three of the Hu family are the first people to show friendship to him after he arrived in Dachu, and they have helped him all these years.

"Uncle Wang, have you thought about this?"

"I've thought about it. The Tiger King said firmly.

"Okay, what are Uncle Wang's plans?" Renault asked with a smile, if this thing is handled well, it may not be a bad thing, no matter what, Renault will keep the Tiger King, and it just so happens that those grandmasters have nothing to do, especially Mo Qiang, he is different from the other three grandmasters, and he can't help being lonely, and it is just right to send it to Uncle Wang.

The field is different, he has the purpose of breaking the mortal and becoming an immortal, although he does his best, he doesn't want to leave him, not to mention Gong Churui, Li Si is also a person with ideas.
