Volume I, Section 80 Sharp Weapons
readx;? Jiang Feng walked on the head of the city with some hesitation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everything is running according to their own intentions, especially this deliberately designed celebration and declaration of war ceremony, which has gathered the hearts of the entire army and people in Gushi City at once.
There is money to pay, someone to pay, Gushi City is like becoming a big barracks, and everyone has only one thought in their hearts, that is, to defend Gushi City, defend their homes and families!
"Lao He, how is the arrangement here?" Jiang Feng stood still on the city gate tower, his eyes aimed at the northwest.
At this moment, the ant thieves have probably crossed the Huaishui and are gearing up for revenge, right? But they will soon understand that Gushi is not a hard bone to gnaw on, and if they don't get it right, they will only get stuck in their throats, and they will not be able to advance or retreat.
"It has been strengthened and perfected according to your requirements, but the sheep and horse walls are only replaced by wooden fences, although they are all smeared with mud, but I am afraid it is still difficult to resist the fire attack of the other party; ”
He Decai was still a little cramped, and the change in Jiang Feng's status made him a little difficult to adapt to at first, but seeing that Gu Minghai, Qin Zaidao and others were all at ease, he quickly entered his role.
"Well, this is also a helpless thing, even if we have the support of the whole city, we don't have the ability to break new ground, and it is not easy to do this. Jiang Feng nodded, "Where's the crossbow?"
"In the past few days, the craftsmen have worked all night, and only five have been made, which is still because there are two damaged and abandoned repairs in the Gushi warehouse, and only three new ones, and I am afraid that they cannot be compared with the standard crossbow in terms of accuracy and power, most of the craftsmen have never made this kind of thing, and most of the time they rely on groping, all of which rely on a few craftsmen who escaped from Gwangju to understand something, so they have some clues. ”
He Decai smacked his lips and said with some regret: "There are few craftsmen in this Gushi City, and few of them really know how to work, most of them are some halfway monks, and this is all due to the guidance of Lord Luo, and he has come up with a lot of ideas." ”
After the Caizhou army invaded Gwangju, the Gwangju gentry were afraid of the Yuan clan's style, and fled to the neighboring states, some of which also fled to Gushi, although at the beginning it was only the idea of temporarily sheltering to watch the situation change, but in view of the ant thieves invading Caizhou and Gwangju on a large scale, these gentry could only stay in Gushi, and then many craftsmen escaped from Gwangju City one after another.
"Five?" Jiang Feng frowned, this number is a little too small, he tried his best to recall the history he learned in college, this crossbow should be the most powerful heavy weapon in the Tang and Song dynasties, using a winch to open and fire crossbow arrows, the power is endless. But how useful can these five crossbows be?
"Well, the god arm crossbow that the adults are talking about, looking at the appearance is probably the original ancient system, there are no graphic specifications, and the craftsmen have no way to start, so they can only grope to make dozens of them, and I don't know if it is suitable or not, and I have to wait for the brothers to try it to know. He Decai didn't care about Jiang Feng's attitude, and said to himself: "Master Luo said that because of the material, the quality is worrying, and it will have to be scrapped after a few rounds at most." ”
"Hmm, dozens of them can be made? That's great, arrange for the brothers to try it out right away, what's the delay? This thing is simple to use, doesn't require deliberate training, and can just come in handy. ”
Jiang Feng was overjoyed, he didn't expect that his bold proposal really had some effect, and it all depended on the special geographical location of Gushi City, which happened to have a material library that could provide these materials for testing.
"Well, the craftsmen have tried it, and the range is basically about twenty or fifty hundred steps, which is not satisfactory, but the accuracy is difficult to meet expectations. He Decai said.
"It's good to have this effect, and it's just a matter of improving it over time. ”
Jiang Feng was clear in his heart, although these dozens of divine arm crossbows may not be able to change the situation of the battle, but at least it is better than nothing, but this god arm crossbow has a lot of consumables, is very valuable, and is extremely easy to damage, it is not easy to equip it on a large scale.
"What about the whirlwind cannon I was talking about?"
"Well, thirty cars have been made according to what the adults said, and the operation is very simple, only a few people are needed for one car, and we have experimented that it can throw a stone weighing thirty or forty pounds a hundred and fifty steps away, and the stone is three feet into the ground, and the power is incomparable! If the ant thieves dare to come, they must give them a good taste of the whirlwind cannon!"
At the mention of this question, He Decai immediately perked up.
He also didn't know how Jiang Feng suddenly thought of improving the production of the stone-throwing car.
The process of making a stone throwing cart is not complicated, but in order to throw large rocks, a large number of soldiers have to be used, and the operation is clumsy and cumbersome.
The counterweight that Jiang Feng said suddenly changed the original drawbacks of the rock-throwing truck, not only reducing the number of operators a lot, but also convenient and fast, and the power was doubled.
In fact, Jiang Feng also remembered this improved technology after seeing the stone-throwing vehicle of this era, and he still didn't think of a better way to apply the gunpowder technology, only the innovation of this stone-throwing machine technology was quite simple, and he could still take advantage of the traverser.
In the previous time and space, the Mongol soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty attacked Xiangyang, and the attack was not overcome for a long time, and the Hui people offered a new type of stone-throwing vehicle, using the balance hammer to improve, not only the number of operators was greatly reduced, but also the weight and distance of the projected stones were greatly increased, and the situation was reversed at once, and the city of Xiangyang was broken.
Even after its arrival in Europe, this technology was popularized and used like never before, making it the deadly nemesis of the fortified castles of medieval Europe.
Jiang Feng has some impressions of the history of this super weapon, and the existing stone thrower can be used with a slight modification.
When he came to the self-owned workshop of the material official, Jiang Feng saw a mess.
is different from the East Fang managed by He Decai, this West Fang is Luo Zhen's territory.
The scale of the East Fang is much larger than that of the West Fang, and it is close to the arsenal of the original Gushi Army, which was also expanded only after Jiang Feng officially took over the power of the Gushi Army.
It turns out that Gu Shijun's armor workshop is just the most basic repair workshop, talking about three or five craftsmen, mainly for the weapon blade grinding and furnace, and by the way, also carrying out some repairs to the armor, which is better than nothing.
Jiang Feng immediately renovated the place after taking over, on the one hand, he vigorously expanded the number of local craftsmen, and on the other hand, he also forcibly sent craftsmen from Gwangju to this place, even if it caused some dissatisfaction from the Gentry of Gwangju.
Because many of these craftsmen were originally subordinate to them, but now that they have lost the basis of power, they are unable to interfere too much in the way of survival of these craftsmen, so Jiang Feng stubbornly persevered.
Dongfang is mainly for the basic weapons, equipment and weapons production and repair services of the Gushi Army, gathering about fifty or sixty people, has begun to take shape.
The scale of Xifang is much smaller, to be precise, it is more like Luo Zhen's personal workshop, except for Luo Zhen who set up two or three fourteen or fifteen-year-old young children from the children of the craftsman family to start, only Xu Jing comes here from time to time.
Fortunately, Xu Jing is in the future today, otherwise Jiang Feng really feels a little embarrassed, and he doesn't know how to face the other party.
