Chapter 260

Tang Yin didn't have the patience to listen to Xuan Wang's ramblings, he raised his head to the side and said, "Let's try the power of your army-breaking crossbow first!"

"Yes, my lord!" Xuan Wang agreed, found the crossbow machine of the broken crossbow, and then waved his hand to call over the five soldiers, and asked them to work together to pull the crossbow string apart. The five soldiers looked at each other, spat at each other's palms, rubbed their hands, and pulled the strings together, only to hear the sound of crunching and tightening the strings, and the long strings were slowly pulled apart.

Later, Xuan Wang asked three crossbow arrows to be taken out from under the carriage. The volume of the broken army crossbow is large, the crossbow arrows are also thick and long, each one has the thickness of an adult's wrist, the arrow in front is wrapped in steel skin, and the sharpness is abnormal, he asked the soldiers to put three crossbow arrows on the crossbow machine, aimed at the dense forest in the distance, aimed at it for a while, and then suddenly pulled the crossbow machine.

At the same time, the three crossbow arrows flew out together, and the ear chakra heard the distant woods click, click and click two violent crisp sounds, people hurriedly raised their eyes, only to see that there were two crossbow arrows respectively shot a number, and its powerful force directly penetrated the old tree body that the three people could barely hold.

"Huh?" look, there was an exclamation and inhalation sound in the crowd, such a distance, even such a thick tree can shoot through, how much force is there, other ordinary armor can't resist it, even a spirit warrior with a spirit armor can't withstand it!

The army-breaking crossbow really does not dishonor its name, but it has the power to break the army. It is not difficult to imagine that when the enemy and us engage in a frontal battle, your own side will suddenly use the broken crossbow to attack the enemy's phalanx, and you will immediately be able to shoot their camp into chaos, so that your side has established an advantage before engaging the enemy in close combat.

Tang Yin looked at the crossbow arrows in the distance, his eyes lit up, his eyes kept turning, it was obvious that he was surprised and delighted by the power of the Broken Army Crossbow, although the crossbow was a little bigger, it was not convenient to transport with the army, but it did have its powerful attack power. After being silent for a long time, he said to Xuan Wang with a calm expression: "Lord Xuan, try your city-breaking crossbow again!"

Xuan Wang smiled at Tang Yin and said, "My lord, you can't use the woods to try the city-breaking crossbow!"

"Why?"

"Because it's so powerful, you can't see its effect if you only use trees as a target. ”

"Oh?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "So what does Master Xuan think should be used as a target?"

Xuan Wang turned around, pointed to a mountain wall in the distance, and said, "Use the mountain rock as the target!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and they all felt that Xuan Wang's tone was too big, no matter how powerful the crossbow machine was, it couldn't shoot through the stone, right? Tang Yin was also incredulous, he asked, "Master Xuan means that he can shoot through the stone and into the mountain wall?"

"You'll know if you try it, adult!" Xuan Wang said with a smile on his face, full of confidence.

I'd like to see if you're exaggerating or if you're really doing something! This time, there is no need to look for someone, Tang Yin has already waved to his subordinates and said, "Pull the strings of the city-breaking crossbow open!"

"Wait a minute!" Xuan Wang stopped Tang Yin, who looked at him puzzled, Xuan Wang smiled and said, "My lord, the city-breaking crossbow can't be pulled by manpower, it has to be pulled by horses!"

"Huh?" Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, and then understood, no wonder when he came, Xuan Wang had to prepare the horses by himself, it turned out to be used for pulling crossbow strings, but what kind of crossbow had to be pulled by horses, this is incredible. The people around him also had the same idea as Tang Yin, staring at Xuan Wang intently.

Xuanwang commanded the soldiers, gathered all the five war horses prepared by Tang Yin in advance, and then took out the horse rope, tied one end to the crossbow string, and the other tied to the five war horses, and finally he ordered the soldiers to beat the horse's buttocks together.

With the sound of the whipping, the five horses were in pain, and they moved forward in unison, and their forward movement also tightened the hemp rope and slowly opened the strings of the city-breaking crossbow. This is, Xuan Wang

Let the crossbow of the city-breaking crossbow be lifted.

This crossbow arrow, thicker than the three crossbow arrows of the Broken Army's Fury combined, looks like a large tree stump, and it takes two people to carry it together.

The soldiers laboriously put the crossbow arrows on the siege crossbow, Xuan Wang stepped forward, checked it, and confirmed that there was no problem, and then bowed his hand to Tang Yin and said, "Now the adults only need to cut the hemp rope, and the crossbow arrows can be shot." ”

Hearing this, Tang Yin walked over slowly, stood still in front of the hemp rope, looked down at the tight rope, and then looked at Xuan Wang, suddenly shook his shoulders, and the scimitar appeared in the palm of his hand, and with the wave of his arm, with a click, the hemp rope was cut in two.

As soon as the hemp rope broke, the open crossbow string immediately bounced back, and the wooden stake on top of the crossbow machine flew out with a buzz, like a black lightning bolt, flying straight towards the mountain wall.

Click!

When the stake hit the mountain wall, there was a deafening loud noise, and the steel arrow in front easily smashed the stone wall, and plunged deep into it, so strong that even the ground trembled three times because of its impact force, and at least one-fifth of the long wooden stake was poured into the mountain wall, as if a dead tree had grown from the middle of the mountainside.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was dumbfounded, dumbfounded one by one, and half speechless, including Tang Yin. The power of this crossbow is far greater than that of the Broken Army, and even ten times and a hundred times greater than it, such a strong force, I dare not say that it can penetrate the city wall, but it is no problem to wear the arrow battlement.

During the siege, the defending side of the city is hiding behind the arrow battlement, and with this weapon, the personnel behind the arrow battlement will also receive fatal damage, which is too beneficial for the besieging side. Tang took the lead in coming back to his senses, looked around at the people present, and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, how do you know the power of Lord Xuan's siege crossbow and army-breaking rage?"

Everyone woke up from the shock, and involuntarily shivered, looked at each other, and said in unison: "Awesome!"

Liang Qi's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Tang Yin, and said: "My lord, General Yuan and I will go to attack Tongmen, if we can bring Lord Xuan's army-breaking crossbow and city-breaking crossbow, we can get twice the result with half the effort!"

He didn't open his mouth to ask Tang Yin for these two things directly, but just explained what benefits Tang Yin would have if he was equipped with them.

Of course, Tang Yin also understood that equipping Liang Qi with these two crossbow machines would undoubtedly greatly increase his combat effectiveness, he pondered for a moment, turned his head and asked Xuan Wang, "Lord Xuan, how many crossbows have you made in total?"

Xuan Wang cautiously stretched out three fingers.

Tang Yin wondered: "Three of each?"

"No, sir, it's three!"

Tang Yin was secretly angry in his heart and glared at him fiercely.

There are only three in total, and even if it is equipped with the Sanshui Army under the command of Liang Qi, it is difficult to wield the effect. He lowered his hand and thought for a while, and then asked, "In a month's time, I give you enough manpower and materials, how much can you make?"

"In that case, there would be about thirty of each type of crossbow. ”

"What if we made crossbows together?"

"Lord Hui, it's relatively easy to make a crossbow, as long as there are enough people, it shouldn't be a problem to make two or three thousand more a month!"

"Okay!" Tang Yin nodded, and said with a smile: "I'll give you a month's time, 3,000 crossbows, 300 crossbows for breaking the city and 30 for breaking the army, if you can complete it on time, I will be rewarded, if you can't complete it, you won't have the credit for developing the crossbow machine." ”

Xuan Wang hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "My subordinates must do their best!" In fact, he didn't attach much importance to merit and rewards, as long as Tang Yin could provide money, places, and conditions for him to continue to develop more crossbow machines. His interest and hobby was only the development of crossbow machines.

Tang Yin also made sense to give it a month, he had calculated in his heart that if everything went well to Du Ji this time, it would only take just a month to go this time.

When Xuan Wang experimented with the crossbow machine, Shauna was also on the sidelines, and she was also afraid of its power, this kind of crossbow machine is actually a sharp weapon for breaking the heavy armored cavalry of Besa, if the two sides are fighting, the Tianyuan army will use the broken army crossbow or even the siege crossbow on a large scale, and the slow-moving heavy armored cavalry will have to become a live target.

Fortunately, now Besa has reconciled with Tang Yin, and there is no war, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. Shauna was secretly glad in her heart that her father had made the wise decision to negotiate peace.

After testing the crossbow machine developed by Xuanwang, after Tang Yin returned to Huaiyang, he immediately ordered that Xuanwang be given sufficient manpower, and everything he needed would be satisfied as long as he had it. Tang Yin's style has always been vigorous and resolute, he will do what he says, and he will never delay what he promised.

After this time, Tang Yin really attached importance to Xuan Wang, and even set up a department specifically for him in the future-Ordnance Department, of course, this is a later story.

The next day, Tang Yin and Xiao Na set off on the road to Du Ji, and the three brothers Shangguan Yuanrang, Yuan Wu, and Yuan Biao, Cheng Jinwei's Dark Arrow Team, and five young nobles such as Brian and Gray on Besa's side, plus Tang Yin and Xiao Na's accompanying guards, there were more than 100 people in the group.

Although Duki borders the Wind Country, there is no road between them, and the border is full of deep mountains and bad waters, which is impassable at all, so you can only pass through Guannan County and Tianyuan County first, go north into the territory of Besa, and then go to Duki by Besa. The road is far away, not to mention thousands of miles, but fortunately, everyone is skilled in riding, and there are fast horses from Mozambique, which greatly shortens the delay time on the road.

Tang Yin and his entourage waited for the wind to eat and sleep in the open, day and night, and it only took four days to enter the territory of Besa.

Having Xiao Na with her can indeed save Tang Yin and others a lot of unnecessary trouble, at least wearing a weapon to enter Besa no one dares to stop and interrogate.

The further west you go, the hotter the weather, the more sparse the grass on the ground, and when you reach the border between Besa and Duki, you can no longer find a single grass on the ground, and as far as the eye can see, there is a blank and boundless desert everywhere you look.
