Chapter 435: Meng Tian's Arrow
Chapter 435 After Meng Wu explained everything to his son, his body recovered a lot, so he was ready to leave for Xianyang.
And at this moment, Meng Wu and Meng Tian suddenly knew that Daqin's new weapons would arrive in the barracks tomorrow.
Meng Wu looked at Meng Yi and said, "I heard that the new weapon was researched by His Highness before the remnants of the Six Kingdoms raised troops, and it is said that the power is very huge, but my father wants to stay and take a look." Meng Tian smiled and said, "Since my father wants to stay and see the power of the artillery, then the child will write to Your Majesty, saying that my father may have to go back two days late." β
"Two days late? As a father, I want to watch you cross the river, so I'm afraid these two days are not enough. Meng Wu said.
Meng Tian confidently said: "With the support of artillery and explosives, the child can cross the river in one day." β
"Is that really that powerful?" Meng Wu immediately stood up from his chair. Meng Tian smiled and said, "Father doesn't know, this cannon is extremely powerful. The boy saw the location of the enemy's camp, as long as our army set up artillery by the river, I am afraid that it will be enough to hit the opposite bank, and the enemy will not be able to form a defensive formation on the opposite bank. β
"That's what I'm looking forward to as a father. But beware of the enemy's ironclad chariots, even if it's a catapult's boulder, it's hard to completely injure it. Meng Wu said.
"Rest assured, father, the shells and explosives will not roll down the iron cart like stones, but will explode directly, and as long as they come, they will never be able to go back." Meng Tian said with a smile.
A day later, a large number of artillery pieces and explosives were transported into the barracks. Meng Tian arranged the warehouse overnight, and even sent the most elite men and horses to guard it.
After all the artillery explosives entered the warehouse, Meng Tian led the people to the river. Although Meng Tian had seen the power of artillery, he had not undergone professional combat learning, so for some details, Meng Tian could only bring people over.
The commander of the artillery corps who came to support Meng Tian this time was called Liang Sanpao, originally he didn't call it by this name, but after he became one of the commanders of the artillery corps, he changed his name to this name.
These three cannons come from a sentence from Qin Xi. But when Qin Xi was training them, he would always say, if one cannon doesn't work, another cannon will come, or if it doesn't work, another cannon will come, and three cannons will always make a difference!
Still no! Then shoot three more shots!
"General Liang, come and see, can you set up artillery here, can you hit the other side? I need a large army to support our army when crossing the river, and your artillery can support our army. Meng Tian said.
Liang Sanpao stomped the ground, and then grabbed it with his hand. Then he arched his hand and said, "General, the soil here is a little soft, and there is a lot of moisture. If you want to erect artillery, you will need to lay a layer of wood on it, or even iron plates. Liang Sancang picked up his bow and arrow again, measured an approximate distance as soon as the arrow was fired, and then said: "The artillery can completely hit the opposite side, and three of the cannons can even hit the enemy's camp." β
"Excellent! How about giving you a day to recuperate, and two days later to start a battle across the river? Meng Tian said.
"No!" While speaking, in the barracks on the other side of the river, a fast horse galloped over and came to the river to look at Meng Tian and the others across the bank.
"General Mengda! Oh no! It should be Captain Monta! Is this going to be ready to cross the river? Wei Bao said loudly with a smile.
Meng Tian knew that this was to disgust himself, so he raised his bow and arrow, aimed at Wei Bao, and said, "Aren't you afraid that General Ben will shoot you here?" Wei Bao said with a smile: "Lord Taiwei, there is a way that the two countries do not kill the envoy when they are at war, how can you be regarded as a messenger in the future, you will not kill my envoy." β
"Then it depends on what you say, if General Ben is satisfied, General Ben will put down this arrow, if you are not satisfied, ask someone to drag your body back." Meng Tian said, the bow and arrow in his hand tightened.
Wei Bao said with a smile: "Lord Taiwei, the New Year of the Qin calendar is coming, after consultation, King Zhao and King Wei decided to temporarily stop the war with Lord Taiwei, so that Lord Taiwei can take the soldiers to have a good year, I don't know what Lord Taiwei wants?" Meng Tian suddenly let go of the bowstring, and suddenly sharpened his arrow
"Whew!" It flew out, scraping off Wei Bao's sideburns and scaring Wei Bao out of his horse.
"Meng Tian! What do you mean! Wei Bao got up angrily and pointed at Meng Tian and asked loudly.
"If you dare to point at General Ben again, General Ben's arrow will no longer miss." Meng Tian's words frightened Wei Bao on the other side of the river and hurriedly withdrew his hand.
Meng Tian handed the bow and arrow to the soldiers behind him, and then said to Wei Bao: "Tell Zhao Xie and Wei Ji that General Ben wishes them a happy New Year!" β
"Then thank you, Lord Lieutenant! I also wish you a Happy New Year! Wei Bao said loudly.
"Let's go! Get back. Meng Tian turned around and said. Looking at the departing Meng Tian, Wei Bao's face was very gloomy, and after riding the horse with a cold snort, he went back.
On the way back, Liang Sanpao couldn't help asking, "General, do we really want to stop fighting for the New Year?" β
"What kind of New Year, as long as the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are still there, Great Qin will have no New Year to speak of!" Meng Tian said: "Later, General Ben will send someone to set up a stage for you, and don't go wrong when the time comes." β
"General rest assured, Liang Sancang will do his best, if he can't hit the enemy's camp, the last general will come to see him!"
"You don't have to, your head is now in Daqin, but it is very preciousΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·." On the other side, after Wei Bao returned to the camp, Wei Qi saw that Wei Bao's face was full of blood, frowned and asked, "Wei Bao, what's the matter with you?" β
"What's going on?" Wei Bao touched his sideburns and immediately screamed in pain.
"Quick! Go and call the medic! Wei Qi hurriedly said. When the military doctor came, he was shocked when he saw Wei Bao's wound.
Wei Qi and Zhao Xie came over to take a look, and they were also frightened, and directly the skin of Wei Leopard's sideburns was torn off, revealing the bones.
Wei Bao had always been in a state of tension before, and his body and mind were highly concentrated, so he didn't notice the injuries on his body, and he couldn't feel the pain.
Now that he returned to the barracks, the whole person relaxed, and as soon as he was reminded by Wei Ji, his body felt the injuries on his body.
After bandaging, Wei Bao roared angrily: "Damn Meng Tian! Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will strip you naked! β
"Alright, stop screaming. How's it going? Wei Qi asked. Wei Bao said this time: "Meng Tian wishes us a happy new year. β
"Happy New Year to us?" Wei Zhi was confused all of a sudden, did he promise a temporary truce, or did he not agree?
Zhao Xie smiled: "Hahaha! I wish us a happy new year, it seems that Meng Tian also wants to have a good New Year! Wei Ji frowned and said, "King Zhao, I'm afraid that's not what it means." Zhao Xie leaned over and said, "King Wei, you are too worried. Don't look at this Meng Tian is the great captain of the Qin People, a high-ranking and powerful person, but he is actually not very old, unlike Meng Wu and the dead Wang Jian and others, who are old and cunning. Wei Ji thought for a while and said, "Since King Zhao said so, then King Ben is also relieved." However, just in case, this king still feels that our army can't be too relaxed. β
"This is natural, this time we proposed a temporary truce with the Qin army and let the Qin army spend the New Year, mainly just to replenish food, grass and troops. We are just the bullshit New Year of the Qin people, and when our soldiers have enough food and grass, we will counterattack back in one fell swoop! Zhao Xie said confidently.
"King Zhao, you are responsible for replenishing troops and grain and grass, you have to worry about it a lot." Wei Qi arched his hand and said.
"King Wei is polite, this is all within the scope of the matter, not enough to worry about." Zhao Xie said with a smile.
"In that case, then the king will go back first, and Wei Wushu's training can't be left behind for a day." Wei Qi arched his hand, and then got up and left with Wei Bao.
Looking at the departing figures of Wei Ji and Wei Bao, Zhao Xie said coldly: "Two old things! If it weren't for your Wei Wushu's sake, you would also be worthy of being on an equal footing with this king? Zhang Er on the side sat down and arched his hand and said: "King, everything is going well with the control plan of Wei Wushu, and within half a year, the so-called Wei Wushu will be able to become the king's Zhao Wushu." β
"Wei Wushu itself is not important, the important thing is the Wu Qi training art, as long as he gets Wu Qi's training art, he Wei will not feel distressed if the half-hung Wei Wushu dies." Zhao Xie raised his glass and said.
"The king can rest assured, Zhang Er is willing to do his best to share the worries of the king." Zhang Er arched his hand and said.
"Well, come, this king respects you."
"King Xie." On the other side, after returning to the camp, Wei Bao sat down first, and a trace of displeasure suddenly appeared on Wei Qi's face, but he quickly hid it.
After Wei Ji sat down, he said: "Zhao Xie, this kid, although he is young, is very unusual, you should be careful with him." β
"Big brother, what to do with the few people who were pulled out of Wei Wu's stroke?" Wei Bao asked. Wei Ji leaned and said: "Don't worry about it for the time being, we and Zhao Xie still need to join forces, if that kid knows that we killed his people, it is estimated that he will tear his face, and it will be the Qin people who will be happy at that time." β
"But if they are allowed to write like this, I am afraid that it will affect Wei Wushu." Wei Bao said.
"Well, you have a point. In this way, you give the talisman to your brother first, and personally train Wei Wushu for a few days for your brother, even if Zhao Xie has more plans, it will be useless. Wei Qi said.
Wei Bao was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly took out the talisman in his arms and handed it to Wei Qi. Wei Ji put away the talisman and suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
Wei Bao stood up and said, "Big brother, I'll go back to recuperate first, my head hurts a little bit now." β
"Well, let's go back and recuperate." Wei Qi said lightly. After leaving the camp, Wei Bao's face became ugly.
Today, the eldest brother suddenly withdrew his Wei Wubing talisman, it seems that he doesn't trust himself! In vain, he respected him so much, and in the end, he actually got back a result that was not trusted!
