On the fourth day of the first month of June, the king of Wude County, the king of Wude County, stood on a tower of the Great Wall in the north of Liangzhou, and his eyes were happy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"In other words, the 200,000 people under Li Jing's command have already left the village?"

Haha laughed, Wude County Wang Mengjin put a long whip in his hand, and pointed to the east: "Sure enough, he is the son of the supernatural power, and he is bold!"

"It has been ten days since the Anguo army arrived in Mayi. When the army was reorganized again, the headquarters of the Broken Army and all the elites were gathered under Li Jing's command. The combat power of these 200,000 troops is no longer inferior to that of the border army. ”

Meng Wen said as he thought to himself that An Guogong's subordinates had enough combat power.

The army of Jizhou has gone through several battles, and has marched thousands of miles in these ten days, and both the generals and the soldiers have experienced tempering, and they can no longer be regarded as new troops.

And as far as he knows, since the Battle of Hanquanyuan, countless children of families and heroes from the two states of Jiwan have all been under Yu Yingchong. As a result, the number of heavenly powerhouses in the Jizhou army has skyrocketed to more than 200 in a short period of time, and below the heavenly rank, those powerhouses of the eighth and ninth orders have also reached 2,000.

In addition, after the Jizhou army captured it several times, it was well-equipped. At this time, the combat strength of the various provisional divisions in Jizhou was no longer much weaker than that of the Huns. And the morale of the people has gathered, and the overall strength has surpassed that of the government army.

It's just—

"But this Li Jing is not well-known. I'm a little worried—"

"That kid, I guess he wants to lure the enemy with Li Jing's subordinates!"

Mengjin, the king of Wude County, saw through Ying Chong's intentions at a glance: "You need to believe in this person's vision! As far as this king knows, this former Mayi County Cheng has a very good record in the past. And this sneak attack on the battle of Yunzhong County was remarkable. If you want to talk about qualifications, this is the person with the most real combat merits in the Ying Chong Army, and he is better than Ying Xuanniang,"

When the two were talking, they both felt it in their hearts, and they looked back together. Then I saw in the distance, there was a military general covered in half armor, who was coming across the air.

It seems that the figure and face of the person are the Harrier Cavalry Envoy Helian Mountain, who was born in the Hu people, but entered the Great Qin and became a high-ranking official, and he is also the most powerful general under the command of Meng Jin.

When Helian Mountain stepped on the city wall, he saluted with his fists towards Mengjin: "I have seen the king of the county and His Royal Highness the prince, and the harrier cavalry under the command of the last general is ready!"

Then when this person raised his head, he looked solemn and asked with a puzzled face: "His Royal Highness the King of the County, this time you really want to wave the army north?"

"It's just a feint and a pretense here. Seeing that the situation is not good, I have to go back. ”

With just one word, Meng Jin dispelled most of Helian Mountain's doubts: "However, even if you want to act, you need to be good at singing and writing." Otherwise, how can the Huns be willing to buy it?"

"The last general understands! I, the Harrier Cavalry, will go all out!"

Helian Shan's expression was solemn, but he still couldn't be completely reassured: "Your Highness, it's not that the last general is timid. But this time I went north, if there is any accident, my Liangzhou will be in danger! And the people's livelihood is tired, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support for a long time. I heard that the Duke of An Guo seems to have not reached the age of binding his hair, but I am afraid that it is not very reliable. And his army marched out of the north, if it was just to enter the grassland and fight the grass valley, then there was no need for the full cooperation of our Liangzhou army. ”

Meng Jin was relieved when he heard this, but he couldn't help but smile and asked: "If An Guogong is only to sweep away the seven divisions of the left flank, why does he need to wave a large army of 600,000 troops to the north? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to send a few elite troops out in all directions? Why does he need to send a special letter to this king and invite my Liangzhou army to go north?"

Helian Mountain's tiger eyes couldn't help but flash slightly: "Your Highness means to say-"

"Naturally, it is a battle to decide the trouble of the Huns! And Helian, how can you underestimate his wisdom because he is young? King Zuogu Li, like him, does not take him in his eyes because of his youth. But now the seven left flanks of the Huns, more than 600,000 troops have disappeared. ”

As he spoke, Mengjin, the king of Wude County, turned around again and looked behind the city wall.

Behind the Great Wall, what was once a fertile land for cultivation is now desolate. The inhabitants of this place either died in the war, or fled to the south, far away from Liangzhou.

After the Great Wall, other places are not much better. Since the rise of the Xiongnu Maodun, Liangzhou has withered day by day. With the power of one state and six counties, it supports hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if there is nearly half of the money and grain, it is provided by the Qin court, and the pressure is also heavy.

After glancing at it, King Wude couldn't help but sigh: "It is precisely because of the current Liangzhou that it can no longer hold on, so I can't help but gamble! I missed this opportunity, and I don't know how many years later." He has such courage as a child, how can I wait for Liangzhou to be left behind?"

Helian Mountain's spirit was slightly lifted, and his face was ashamed: "What Your Highness said is that the last general thinks badly." ”

The king of Wude didn't care, and only pointed to the north with his horsewhip: "And this king expects that Mao Dun, and will never dare to fight a decisive battle with my Qin army! Presumably, that An Guogong is also the same as this king's see-"

※※※※

"Smack!"

With this crisp sound, a trace of green smoke came out of the copper pipe. At the same time, a wild goose suddenly fell above the cloud and flew down.

Ying Chong thought for a moment, looking at the copper pipe in the front part of the rod in his hand, and the back part was a wooden support.

"This thing, called the Assault Gun, was created by Mr. Zhang?"

The person he asked was named Zhang Heng.

This Mo family student recommended by Xin Qiji to him is quite a famous person, even in front of Ying Chong, who is in the north at this time, he is also calm and moderate.

"It's a assault rifle, but it wasn't created by a student. It's just that I heard that someone in Chu made this thing, so he imitated it. And the principle of this thing is actually the same as that of the Thor Cannon, but it has shrunk several times. ”

Ying Chong bowed slightly, he already knew this, this sudden musket also borrowed the power of magic stones, using the help of gunpowder.

"Very good, the range can be up to twelve miles away, and the accuracy is acceptable-"

It's just that once the range exceeds three miles, the projectile will be very deflected.

And Ying Xuanniang next to him sneered mercilessly: "Useless things!"

Zhang Heng, the person who made it, also thought so, and bowed his head slightly: "It's really useless, the student just dedicated this thing to His Royal Highness Guogong to play." ”

Great Qin's crossbows were all made of special spirit wood, or the sinew, bone and horn of high-level demon beasts. It is engraved with a ring-patterned rune array, which is powerful.

From the learning bow used by children to the divine bow used by the heavenly powerhouse, the shooting range can reach ten miles away, or even more than thirty miles!

Where is this assault rifle? It has no potential, and the most powerful is only about fifty oxen.

It is even more useless in the army, after all, this thing can only shoot directly, not projectile.

The Mo family has already proved that the land under their feet is actually a sphere, and the ground is also arc-shaped, not flat.

If you shoot directly with this musket, when you hit ten miles away, you can only hurt the top of someone's head at most. This is also one of the reasons why the Thor Cannon was given up by the Qin court after hundreds of trials.

And it is troublesome to load, in the case that the army is ten miles apart, even if the opposite side charges with all its strength, the crossbow can be fired more than ten rounds in a row. But if it's this assault gun, four times is considered very good.

However, the purpose for which he presented the assault rifle had nothing to do with the usefulness of the thing itself. I believe that this An Guogong will definitely be able to see his intentions.

Ying Chong did see that although this musket was several times smaller, the process required to make this thing was comparable to that of the Thor Cannon.

And according to this man, he made this thing alone. That is to say, only this Zhang Heng has completed the design of the gun body and the rune array, as well as the production of this assault rifle and other links.

- Even in the Tiangong Institute in Xianyang, or in the inner workshop, few people can do it.

Ying Chong is also a person who is proficient in mechanical arts, how can he not see the mystery in it? This assault spear can fully display this mastery in mechanical techniques and talisman arrays.

At this point, though, he paid more attention to the gun itself.

"It's just that the workmanship is a little rougher. ”

Seeing that Heng's face, slightly reddened, Ying Chong couldn't help laughing. This talent in device design is indeed full of potential. But when it comes to actual production, the craftsmanship is clumsy, and he is not as good as a beginner.

And this gun is not useless. If it were a craftsman of ordinary standard, the range of this gun should be 16 miles away, and the output should be more than 60 oxen. It is still very good to defend the city and when it is condescending. ”

Ying Xuanniang was unconvinced when she heard this, and was about to refute, but she saw Ying Chong looking at her with a smile: "You need to know that those who can open sixty bull power strong bows in the army must be cultivated to the seventh order, and they must have ink armor above eight stars." And if you want to be ten miles away, you must immerse yourself in archery for several years. It can be replaced with this gun, even if it is an ordinary civilian, it can shoot a projectile of 60 Newton. ”

Ying Xuanniang was slightly stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

"It's just that it's too expensive for mass production. Zhang Heng, you spent at least 20,000 gold on this gun, right?"

Ying Chong shook his head slightly, thinking that this thing was ten times more expensive than the Lianzhu in his sleeve, and the price was comparable to his Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle.

It is also thanks to the wealth of this Zhang Heng family that can support him to squander like this.

"However, it is not impossible to reduce the cost, reduce the power to thirty ox, try to replace some cheap materials, the price should be reduced to about three hundred gold. Tsk-"

Speaking of which, Ying Chong was also speechless. A five-star ink armor of the military standard is only worth three hundred taels of gold.

However, he is still quite optimistic about this thing: "And this gun also has room for improvement." The rune array should be able to be further improved, and there is also gunpowder, can we find a more powerful one? And the crossbow can be fired continuously, can this assault musket be used? Is it necessary to use this pill, and change it to a diamond shape like a bow and arrow, can the trajectory be more stable? Or use other methods, such as pulling out a few lines in this chamber to make the projectile rotate?"

ps: I privately thought that in the fantasy world, if one arrow is dozens of, there is really no room for the development of the musket.

Hundreds of thousands of samurai wielded bows, and the tactics were similar to queuing up to shoot. (To be continued.) )
