A friendly face resurfaced on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

"Eun Gong!"

Hearing this, Qi Heng immediately bowed his hand and said: "Big brother, Qi Heng is fortunate to live up to his mission, and this city is still guarded by the eldest brother." ”

Qi Heng's words made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart move.

The distractions in my mind before have also faded a lot.

"It's only been more than half a year, but Engong is amazing to us."

Qi Heng understood what Zhu Yuanzhang was referring to today's city, and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the help of these brothers under him. ”

As he spoke, Qi Heng seemed to think of something, grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "Big brother, I'll take you to see something good." ”

A partition at the top of the city wall resembles a gazebo, except that it is walled on both sides.

Walking into it, Qi Heng pointed to the giant that was more than two meters high and three or four meters wide, and said with a smile: "Big brother, this is a ballista, with a maximum power of 800 meters and a maximum distance of 1500. Shoot more than 20 crossbow arrows at a time, no need to load, if it is a well-trained soldier, it only takes a dozen breaths before and after to be loaded and shot again. ”

Hearing Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.

More than 20 crossbow arrows at a time, more than a dozen breaths of reloading time before and after?

Especially when they saw the crossbow bolt the thickness of a child's arm, they were even more confused.

He had noticed just now that there were at least three partitions on the southern wall alone.

That is, there are at least three of them, and more than 20 crossbow arrows at one time, that is, more than 60 crossbow arrows are fired at the same time.

Coupled with its powerful impact, the power of such a crossbow arrow can be imagined.

Moreover, there is only a dozen breaths of reloading time before and after.

It means that once the war starts, there are at least a hundred archers shooting non-stop.

This thing was built on the city walls, and it was obviously used to defend the city, not to kill the enemy.

Think about the previous conquest of Chuzhou, if they had a few of these things on the city wall, as long as the hit rate was not too outrageous, they would attack a fart.

A salvo is nearly a hundred, if not more, casualties.

You know, this crossbow bolt is more than a meter long.

And the short reload time of more than a dozen breaths in the middle was completely able to suppress the enemy's offensive.

Defending a city is different from attacking a city, as long as you can suppress the opponent's attack, the city will be as stable as Mount Tai.

It's not about how many people were killed or wounded.

I have to say that as long as there are enough crossbow arrows for this thing, it is completely a city defense artifact.

Xu Da on the side, Chang Yuchun, Deng Youde and others were also afraid.

At the beginning, they were the pioneers of the siege.

If you meet such a big guy, you don't know how many people will die.

After reading these, Qi Heng said with a smile: "The technology of this thing should basically be familiar to the craftsmen of the Armaments Department, although the output is a little low, but two or three units a month is still no problem, when the time comes, we will install these in Haozhou City and Chuzhou City." ”

After speaking, he thought that he had already started cooking on a fire in the house before he went out, so he said, "Big brother, you are tired all the way, why don't we go back to eat first?" ”

Hearing this, everyone naturally had no objections, so they returned to the Great Marshal's Mansion with Qi Heng.

When they came to a mansion under Qi Heng's guidance, Qi Heng smiled and pointed to the courtyard in front of him and said, "Big brother, this is the renovated Dashuai Mansion, are you still satisfied?" ”

At this time, the Marshal's Mansion and the county government had been separated.

Qi Heng built a marshal's mansion out of concrete on another vacant land.

At this time, on the door of the Marshal's Mansion, the three words of the Marshal's Mansion are clearly visible.

And below, above the gate, there is a plaque of 'Zhu Mansion'.

It is said that this door plaque was not considered by the craftsmen, and they were even ready to make a 'Qi Mansion' door plaque, but Qi Heng denied it, and resolutely replaced it with the 'Zhu Mansion' door plaque.

Qi Heng knew very well that some of the things he had done during this time were indeed a bit excessive.

Or to put it another way, it's scary.

So in terms of these details, Qi Heng is still very good.

We must not do anything that is transgressive.

Whether it is against his subordinates or in other matters, Qi Heng has always emphasized that they are all Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates.

Beep Pavilion

Really.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the 'Zhu Mansion' door plaque above, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Xu Da on the side also said: "Brother Qi, the compound you built for your eldest brother is really magnificent, when can we live in such a good house." ”

Hearing this, Qi Heng was overjoyed, this Xu Da is really a good brother, and immediately followed Xu Da's words and said: "Originally, I thought that it would not be built for the time being, but since the eldest brother is handsome, he should also have some prestige, so he discussed it with his sister-in-law and built it." ”

"Big brother, are you okay looking?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "The style is magnificent, but it wastes a lot of manpower and material resources, right?" ”

"With these things, prepare more weapons and equipment."

Qi Heng said: "The eldest brother is a handsome, so naturally he should have the prestige of a handsome, otherwise he will be underestimated by the people in the city." ”

As everyone entered the mansion of the marshal.

Qi Heng immediately said to his subordinates: "Go, call Shen Wansan, Shi Caiying, Chen Guang and others, and tell them to return to the city and come to meet the marshal." ”

After speaking, he thought of something again: "By the way, there is also Zheng Guangzu." ”

As the subordinates left, Qi Heng, Zhu Yuanzhang and others entered the hall.

As he introduced, he came to the backyard from the corridor next to the hall.

Pointing to the largest room in the center of the backyard of the Marshal's Mansion, he said, "Big brother, that's your residence." ”

After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, the eldest brother is back!" ”

Hearing Qi Heng's shout, Ma Xiuying immediately poked her head out with the child in her arms, and saw Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly walking over.

"Yuanzhang, you're back."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this, hugged Zhu Biao in Ma Xiuying's arms, still gave him two strokes, and said, "Stinky boy, they have grown so big." ”

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him, Zhu Biao's small eyes rolled around, as if he was wondering why this person was so familiar.

Zhu Yuanzhang also seemed to know that he had been away for too long, so he scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, I don't even know your father anymore." ”

These words immediately caused everyone to laugh.

Just when everyone was laughing, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the person poking his head at the door of the house, and immediately beckoned: "This is still that little girl, right?" ”

Qi Heng looked back and nodded with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang also beckoned to still and said, "Come here, let ..... Let my brother-in-law hug me. ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's aggrieved 'brother-in-law' came out, Qi Heng and Ma Xiuying once again thought of the scene before Zhu Yuanzhang left.

The two of them were smiling.

The slight estrangement caused by not seeing each other for a long time also disappeared at this moment.
