Ying Jingyu frowned slightly: "With such a loss rate, isn't it a pity that you can't give full play to the knight's combat power?" ”

Zhou Meng said: "Yes, Gongzi, this malpractice has been going on for hundreds of years, and the Seven Kingdoms, including the Huns, who are known for their cavalry, have not been able to solve this problem. In the Spring and Autumn Period or earlier, cavalry was not the main combat force, but with the maturity of iron manufacturing, cavalry was valued by various countries. ”

"Although there are inevitable battle losses, the large cavalry regiments still pose a great threat to the infantry, so countries are accustomed to this branch of the army by default."

The corners of Ying Jingyu's mouth rose, and he smiled slightly: "The skilled craftsmen of all countries have ignored the most important issue, if you can make the knight not worry about balance on horseback, completely free his legs and hands, and wield his weapons at will like an infantryman to fight, have you ever considered it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked incredulous, and they had an idea of how this could be done

Zhou Meng was also shocked by Ying Jingyu's words for a moment, and said respectfully: "Childe, let the cavalry be as flexible as infantry on the horse, the subordinates have never thought about it." ”

"I don't know if Childe has any ingenious methods to make cavalry look like infantry on horses? If there is a way, the subordinates will definitely be able to improve the equipment on the horses! ”

Ying Jingyu smiled, did not answer, picked up a brush dipped in some ink, and began to draw on the white cloth

Everyone rode around Jing Yu very well, and looked at each other in surprise as they sketched a very linear three-dimensional picture on the white cloth

As time passed, the shock on everyone's faces became heavier and heavier, and they saw that the outline of the picture under the brush had come out, like a horse harness that had never been seen before

Because its shape just fits the horseback, everyone is wondering if this son Ying Jingyu also likes weapon manufacturing and has been obsessed with it since he was a child?

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to imagine that a weak-crowned young man would not only be gifted in military science and political affairs, but also have a talent level far superior to that of a master in weapon manufacturing and improvement?

Everyone watched Ying Jingyu draw intently for about an hour, and the process was quite fine, and looking at his brushwork, it didn't seem to be very familiar

An hour later, Jing Yu put down the brush in his hand, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and breathed a long sigh of relief

After all, I didn't study art, and it was rare to draw this thing from memory

Ying Jingyu looked at his work and said: "Everyone, the first time I painted, although it is not perfect, the model has been sketched. Ruwu, Zhou Meng, can you understand what I am drawing? ”

Several craftsmen behind him have long been fascinated by the things painted by Jing Yu, as if they have seen Lu Ban's reincarnation, such divine objects are actually from the hands of the Great Qin Gongzi?

Several famous craftsmen in Luwu bent over and arched their hands: "The talent of the son is like a god descending into the world!" I'm so ashamed..."

Ying Jingyu smiled and said, "Hehe, you don't need to say respectful words anymore, I came here to discuss the transformation of weapons with you." ”

Lu Wu and the others were shocked, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense: "Childe, if this thing on horseback can be built in batches, it will definitely increase the combat power of my Great Qin cavalry significantly, and the equipment of 10,000 cavalry can be worth more than 100,000 infantry." ”

"I don't know if this artifact has a name?"

The corners of Jing Yu's mouth rose and said, "Horse pedal." ”

"Horseshoe? Horseshoe ......"

"Childe is really a genius, the name of the horse pedal is just the right thing for this thing, if the cavalry steps on this horse pedal, it can indeed be as flexible as infantry, and the combat power is greatly increased."

Ying Jingyu said: "Well, I also saw that the Great Qin Knight was inconvenient on the horse, and I suddenly wanted to sketch this thing. I wonder if you can make this thing? ”

Ruu walked to the table and took the cloth with the horseshoe in his hand, and all the craftsmen gathered around and talked for a while

After a while, he said: "Childe, rest assured, my Xianyang 'Qin Blade Martial Workshop' has the most outstanding craftsmen, the most complete production facilities and material supply. ”

"If we can build according to the drawings day and night, we can produce a few samples in two days at the earliest."

Ying Jingyu: "Oh? Yes, only samples are available for mass production. But it's urgent, I need to build 8,000 pairs of pedals in a month, can it be done? ”

Lu Wu hesitated for a moment and said: "Childe, there are a lot of materials needed for this horse pedal, and there is no production mold now, if it takes a month, Wei Chen can only guarantee more than 2,000 pairs of horse pedals..."

“......”

Lu Wu looked at Ying Jingyu's not very good-looking face, and hurriedly said: "However, if the production mold is complete and the craftsmen are skilled in manufacturing, it will be able to be mass-produced in a month." As long as the materials are sufficient, more than 10,000 sets can be completed in a short period of time. ”

Ying Jingyu sighed in his heart and estimated the time, then Liu Bang's army was afraid that it would enter the customs in less than a month. According to history, Xiang Yu's army entered the customs in about two months...

If Xiang Yu arrives at Hangu Pass, he can gather enough 10,000 pairs of horses to equip iron horses, and if he is caught off guard, it may be possible to reach the power of Chu Xiang's army of more than 100,000 people

After a moment of silence, Ying Jingyu nodded and said, "In addition, large heavy bows and arrows must also be made in large quantities. I will return to my father, regardless of talent or financial resources, I will send it all the way to the Wufang Division in Guanzhong. ”

"We must seek quality and quantity, and manufacture in large quantities!"

Lu Wu and Zhou Meng were overjoyed after hearing this, this is an additional right given to the armor in disguise. In the past, when manufacturing weapons, money and materials were the most scarce, and if there was not enough budget for it, the lack of manpower and raw materials would affect the quality and quantity of the Qin army's equipment

Unexpectedly, today's Great Qin Taiwei Gongzi Yu has solved many problems with a single word

Lu Wu and the others knelt down on their knees and said, "Gongzi Xie! It belongs to the king, the son of the king! ”

Ying Jingyu nodded, and said: "Get up, but I also know that the manufacture of bows and crossbows and arrows is expensive and laborious, and in addition, are there any other long-range attack facilities?" ”

Lu Wu said: "During the period of the First Emperor, my Great Qin swept the Six Kingdoms with the advantage of heavy bows and crossbows. Because there are many cities in the Six Kingdoms, some of them are tall and strong, and when our Great Qin broke through the city with long-range strafing with a bow and crossbow, it also avoided the loss of a large number of Qin soldiers and soldiers. ”

"So after unifying the whole country, I, Qin, also collected this heavy crossbow and rarely used it. And there are no long-range offensive and defensive weapons except bows and crossbows. ”

As if expected, Ying Jingyu came to the table again with an expressionless face, lifted the brush and said: "Long-range offensive weapons are by no means chicken ribs, even if the world is unified, it must be vigorously developed and improved." ”

"And I have a throwing vessel, and the materials for making it can be found everywhere, and the process is not complicated and the cost is low. I need to make a lot of this to garrison Hangu and Wuguan. ”

Lu Wu: "Childe, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, Weichen will do his best to make it!" ”

Ying Jingyu dipped the ink and began to draw on the white cloth

This time, the object is much simpler than a horseshoe, but it is a giant catapult with two wheels, and the length of the throwing equipment is proportionally long...

About half an hour after the painting, a complete giant long-arm stone-throwing cart was displayed in front of everyone

Ying Jingyu glanced at the complete picture, nodded with satisfaction, put down the brush and turned around and said: "This throwing equipment is all wooden, and the materials can be made of high-quality wood." Let's take a look, can it be mass-produced in a short period of time? ”

Lu Wu took the cloth handed over by Ying Jingyu, and after opening it, everyone gathered around and discussed it for a while

Lu Wu looked at it and arched his hand and said: "The words of praise Lu Wu read in my heart, and I won't say more." The throwing weapon has been initially created in the Lu Gong era, but it is relatively rough and the combat power it exerts is very limited. ”

"However, I see that the throwing device painted by Childe is quite ingenious and sophisticated, increasing the volume of the throwing device and lengthening the throwing arm. As seen by E-Wu, the range, distance, and power will be greatly increased. ”

Ying Jingyu said: "Yes, the things I painted are not very fine, but they are simple to make. You need to quickly make this large dropper according to the drawing, and experiment and improve it to achieve the perfect effect. ”

"Yes, Childe!"

"Not only that, but the thrown object can be a stone or an object dipped in oil, and this also needs to be polished according to the thrower, such as stones, in order to achieve maximum damage. Don't just substitute ordinary stones! Command that this thrower and the thing being thrown should be increased by the throwing division. ”

"Yes, Childe!"

Ying Jingyu continued: "Long-range throwing wooden weapons is simpler than the manufacture of bows and crossbows, and it needs to be equipped with more than 300 Qin troops within one month, and more than 1,000 in Hangu and Liangguan within two months. ”

Lu Wu said respectfully: "Childe, rest assured, this thing is simpler than a horse pedal, only a skilled carpenter can be used, and if the experiment is successful, it can be manufactured in large quantities." But..."

"But what?"

"Childe, improve the process and produce a huge number of large heavy weapons in the short term, I'm afraid that my current martial arts are far from enough..."
