"There are some things I really can't figure out, you say that Longguo's equestrian skills are exquisite, after all, people grew up on horseback since childhood, and they can't think of it if they are not proficient, but manufacturing these long-range weapons was originally Ruiguo's strength, why is it lagging behind now?" Chen Ruoping looked at the two flying stone cars up close, and said to himself while observing every detail.

Longjun this kind of flying stone car wheel is stout and the wheels are strong, the body is about two zhang long and about one zhang wide, the car body is equipped with a fixed shaft in the middle, the shaft is connected with the front short and long projectile lever, the lever short arm is fixed with a big stone, the end of the long arm is equipped with a throwing pot, when using only the steel structure that supports the short arm is taken, the big stone immediately falls rapidly, and the stone bullet weighing dozens of pounds at the end of the long arm will fly out violently.

"It is not surprising that Long has the will to war and skilled craftsmen, and it is not surprising that such a thing can be made. Mo Cong touched the stone hanging from the front of his short arm and said.

I don't know what material that stone is, it's not too big but it's amazing, and the internal structure is extremely tight, it's definitely not comparable to ordinary stones, Mo Cong vaguely feels that the reason why this kind of flying stone car has a long range is that the secret is hidden in this kind of stone.

A few people watched for a while and then left the camp tent to prepare to eat, and just out of the camp a herald came over and said that the North Route Army had invited Chen Ruoping and Mo Cong to discuss important matters in the past. The two turned around and went to the big tent of the Central Army of the Northern Route Army, Xu Shiqian, Tan Ying and other generals of the Northern Route Army were there, and Lei Bao Xu Hu and other Central Army generals were also there.

When Mo Cong and the others entered, the generals were talking about the battle in the afternoon, and they all sighed that this battle was difficult. At that time, the Swiss army had obviously wrapped up the vanguard of the Long Army just now, but the accompanying reinforcements of the Long Army quickly pressed up with the help of long-range advantages, and the Swiss Army had to release the duck in its mouth again, and quickly disengaged and withdrew back to the city.

"It's all because our long-range weapons can't work, otherwise how can they escape?" a group of Swiss generals said regretfully.

"Don't you be too anxious, didn't you grab a batch of flying stone carts back with Ding Guan, our skilled craftsmen may be able to imitate it soon, and then our side will occupy the city wall condescendingly. There is also a long-range advantage over them. A Northern Route Army general said.

"I'm inviting you to talk about it. Tan Ying said, "We have seen and used Longguo's flying stone car, and the biggest difference between this flying stone car and our stone throwing machine is that the counterweight stone is different." Their counterweight stones are heavy and small, and the distance that occupies the projectile rod is very short, so that the stone projectiles thrown out are naturally fast and far. In terms of the meaning of the core components, the gap between our Rui country's stone thrower and Longguo's stone car is on that stone, but we don't have this kind of stone in Rui country, at least in my impression, I haven't encountered it, please come here just to work together to recall and see where there is such a stone. Find it as soon as possible to build the flying stone car as soon as possible, and end the Longjun's long-range suppression of us as soon as possible. He said, looking around at the crowd.

As soon as Tan Ying finished speaking, everyone immediately talked about it, and they all talked about the heavier stones in their impressions, some said that there was a kind of stone in their hometown that was quite heavy, and the people in their hometown generally used that kind of stone to press vegetables, and the sauerkraut pressed out was sour and refreshing and very delicious......

Everyone, you and I have said a lot. Tan Ying shook her head again and again when she heard this.

"I've seen and heard of all the stones you mentioned, and they're all quite heavy, but now we're not looking for stones to build walls, but to build flying stone carts. So that kind of ordinary stone is not used at all. By heavy stones, I mean stones that weigh unusually much more than you can imagine, and only those stones can come in handy. He re-emphasized the characteristics of the stone and put his thoughts back on track.

"This ......" everyone was speechless.

"I do know there's a heavy stone, but I'm not sure if it's up to the mark. Mo Cong said on the side.

"Where there is. Hurry up and talk about it. Tan Ying's eyes lit up and she turned her head and asked.

"There are some black stones in the mountains and streams on the other side of Montenegro, and the kind of stones are quite heavy, and the big fist weighs about 200 catties. It takes so much to make a flying stone car, how can it be four or five thousand catties, it should be about the same. Mo Cong said.

"Then hurry up and pass the book to Montenegro, and first transport a batch of stones for the imperial court to imitate the flying stone cart to solve the urgent need. Tan Ying said.

"I'm afraid that far water can't quench the thirst of the near. Mo Cong said, "Those stones are distributed in the mountains and streams, the location is very steep and dangerous, even if you are empty-handed, it is difficult to go up and down, let alone carry such a heavy stone, and when the stones are picked and transported to the imperial court into a flying stone cart to be transported to the Giant Spirit Pass, we people are estimated to be almost dead, so this method can only be used as a backup, not to solve the urgent need." ”

"Then what do you say?" asked Lei Leopard beside him.

"If you can't do it, you can only grab it. Mo Cong said, "I have already sent out the manpower in the afternoon, and now they are estimated to have started, and we will go out of the city to pick up the flying stone cart later." ”

"When did you send someone, why don't I know?" asked Lei Bao in surprise, not only Lei Bao present, but also everyone including Chen Ruoping.

"I'm no longer a soldier of the Leopard Battalion, not even the Central Army, of course you don't know. Mo Cong said with a smile.

A group of people immediately made a noise, and they had to ask Mo Cong about breaking the sand pot, but Mo Cong didn't say anything, just asked everyone to eat quickly, and after eating, they were full of energy and good to work.

When the Swiss army was discussing here, the generals of the Long Army were also talking about today's battle in the big tent of the army in the Xianbei camp, and everyone was very angry about losing more than a dozen flying stone cars, for fear that the Swiss army would take it back and copy it, so that the Long army would not have any advantage at all.

"Don't worry about this, they won't be able to make it even if they imitate it in the short term. Murong Lie said, "The most important thing now is the poison from Ruiguo, good guy, that poison is really powerful, and it can make people fall on the Tao without knowing it." The ingredients of the poison have been tested by the military doctor, but the results have not yet come out, and the antidote does not know when it will be prepared. Therefore, everyone must be careful, the food and water source camp must be absolutely safe, and the rhythm of the siege must also be controlled. Of course, there must be heavy troops covering the flying stone cart array within a radius of three miles, and there can be no more situations where the flying stone cart is robbed in the afternoon. ”

"Marshal, the matter of the afternoon is not that the last general shirks his responsibility, but that the light cavalry advances too fast. According to the information learned afterwards, it was a light armored cavalry battalion belonging to the right guard of the Black Mountain Army, and the name of the pipe band was Ding Xiaofeng, who was the right guard of the former Central Army of the Swiss Kingdom. This light cavalry has been training secretly since it was taken under the command of Montenegro, and this time it was a bit difficult for us to meet it in a hurry. However, after this afternoon's blows, especially after the blows of the scattered stone carts, the battalion has lost two or three thousand men, which is also good news. The general of the Long Army, who was in charge of the military command at the front, said.

"I am also to blame for this matter, knowing that there are very powerful cavalry on the opposite side, but I bet all the treasures on the body of the scattered stone cart array, and as soon as the scattered stone cart formation failed, more than a dozen flying stone carts were snatched by the other party's backhand. Well...... In the future, pay attention to it, prepare to do a little more, prepare a little more well, no matter what heavy armor and light armor he has, it is a dish on our lips, and our Longguo cavalry is truly invincible in the world. Murong Lie said after self-examination, boosting morale.

Everyone was talking in the big tent of the Chinese army, and an officer of the Long Army hurriedly came to report the situation, saying that there was movement on the side of Juling Pass, and the movement was not small, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, there were at least tens of thousands of horses, and the direction was towards the left and right wings, and it was estimated that it was an attack on the camp.

"Raid on the camp...... We have just suffered the loss of the poison over there, and we must not act rashly, so we will pass the order to let the flying stone carts, scattered stone carts and ballista cars prepare, and no matter how many soldiers and horses come on the opposite side, they will directly beat them back with flying stone crossbow arrows. Murong Lie thought for a moment and said.

The officers of the Long army immediately went out to give orders, and the other generals also took their leave of the camp and prepared to deal with the night attack of the Swiss army. Murong Lie was alone in the big tent of the Chinese army, listening to the sound of rumbling wheels outside, listening to the sound of flying stone cars like thunderbolts in winter, and faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart.

"You immediately let the herald in, and inform the stone carts that drove out to return to the camp immediately, and form a formation in the depth of the camp to carry out long-range suppression. The more he thought about it, the more unsteady he became, and after stomping a few laps in the big tent of the Chinese army, he hurried out to find the adjutant general Meng Qi to convey the latest order.

"Dashuai, is there anything wrong?" Meng Qi asked cautiously as he looked at Murong Lie's expression.

"Don't be verbose, hurry up. Murong Lie frowned and waved his hand.

Meng Qi was no longer verbose, and immediately mounted his horse and galloped away, and the previous herald officer hurried into the tent of the Chinese army.

"How did you do it, you rushed in and reported it without figuring out the information. Let me ask you, is the sound of the horse's hooves on the other side a real horse or an empty horse, you can't even hear this, right?" Murong Lie asked as soon as he saw someone coming in.

"Dashuai, I'm ...... I didn't come in to report it. The officer was so confused that he stood there in a daze and argued.

"What did you say?" Murong Lie looked at the herald officer in front of him in shock and shock, and his heart sank. (To be continued......)
