Chapter 18: Taking the Opportunity to Take the City

"I think about it, it's still appropriate for General Xu."

"He has a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, and if he presses the formation, he can attack and repel the troops from that small country as soon as possible."

"At the same time, it can also deter the soldiers and horses of several other small countries."

"Then the envoys of the Yan Kingdom dared to do this before they even left the border of our Great Zhou Kingdom, I really want to arrest them back!"

Zhou Huang grinded his teeth angrily, and Lin Ye sighed when he heard this.

Grasping, naturally, cannot be grasped.

If you want to be caught, it will be an introduction to the Yan people to send troops.

"It's just a small country, you won't worry about it, father."

Lin Ye smiled.

"I just read the letter."

"According to the speed of the soldiers and horses of that small country, there should be six or seven days before they rush to the western border of our Zhou Kingdom."

Emperor Zhou frowned and responded.

"Seven days should be enough."

What does this mean?

Emperor Zhou raised his eyes, Lin Ye stepped forward with a smile, and handed over the drawings in his arms to Emperor Zhou.

"Father, those small country's soldiers and horses dare to attack, we must not spare them."

"In my opinion, we should take this opportunity to conquer the city and directly occupy that small country!"

Take this small country away from the Yan people.

In this way, it can be regarded as a complete deterrence of the small countries attached to the Yan Kingdom.

It's just a matter of knocking people back, if that small country joins several other small countries to commit it again.

Then they may not be able to resist the attack of a strong enemy.

Emperor Zhou's body shook.

It's a brilliant idea, but it's also dangerous.

The national strength of their Zhou State is indeed stronger than that small country, but that small country is not only a subsidiary of Yan State, but also a country with heavy troops and heavy weapons.

It would not be difficult to defeat them.

But if they want to take their city, they will resist to the death.

At that point, they may not be able to bargain for anything.

"I know your doubts, Father, but if you have this thing...... I can guarantee that we will be able to take that small country in a very short time! ”

Lin Ye smiled and pointed to the drawing.

Emperor Zhou frowned in confusion.

"What is this?"

"These are the drawings of firearms, one is called artillery, the other is called assault muskets, both are amazing weapons."

Lin Ye explained these two things.

Emperor Zhou was dumbfounded.

This weapon is so wonderful!

More lethal than ordinary swords, guns, swords, halberds!

Moreover, it is also a weapon for long-range attack.

If you use this weapon to suppress the formation on the city tower, then when those Yan soldiers are under the city, they will definitely be defeated and retreated by these weapons!

"Wonderful! It's amazing! ”

"Where did you get this drawing? This thing doesn't look like it was designed by ordinary people. ”

Emperor Zhou took the drawing and praised excitedly.

Then he remembered something, and he frowned in confusion and looked up at the prince.

My son doesn't go out of the door, and he doesn't step out of the second door, where did he get this drawing?

"Back to my father, this drawing ...... I figured it out on my own. ”

Lin Ye smiled.

"It was some miscellaneous books that I read, and when I saw that someone mentioned these two things in the book, I studied and designed them according to the description in the book."

It turned out to be read from miscellaneous books.

So can this weapon really be effective?

Emperor Zhou frowned.

"Father, I know you're worried about the true utility of this weapon."

"Well, you let the craftsman get a set of weapons first, and then let someone try it."

Speaking of this, Lin Ye paused and continued to add.

"But it has to be fast."

"Let's build a batch of artillery first, send this artillery to the west, and use this artillery against the soldiers and horses of that small country."

Lin Ye pointed to the strange-looking cannon barrel on the drawing

"It's not that hard to make."

"In the next two days, I will personally go to the Construction Bureau of the Ministry of Industry to supervise the work, so that they can complete the production of the artillery as soon as possible."

When Emperor Zhou heard this, he raised his head and looked at the crown prince fixedly.

This kid is really enlightened.

It was not that they had never encountered such a crisis before.

But at that time, Ye'er only knew how to ask himself in a panic, what could he do as a prince.

Now, Ye'er knows that she has helped him with advice, and she has to personally supervise the work.

Emperor Zhou immediately nodded.

Just looking at Lin Ye's intentions, he would not refuse Lin Ye's proposal.

"Okay, I'll let Grandpa Fang go to the Construction Bureau with you."

Emperor Zhou waved his hand, and when Lin Ye saw this, he immediately bowed down.

Father-in-law Fang took Lin Ye out of the palace and hurried to the Construction Bureau.

The Construction Bureau of the Ministry of Industry is divided into two, one for the study and construction of various water conservancy facilities.

The other is jointly managed by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Military Affairs, and is used to make weapons.

Lin Ye rushed to the Construction Bureau with Fang's father-in-law, and the officials in the Construction Bureau went out to greet him in person.

After asking the prince and Father-in-law Fang's intentions, the official immediately led Lin Ye and Father-in-law Fang towards the backyard of the Construction Bureau.

"It turned out that he wanted us to build a weapon."

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you don't have to come in person, just hand over the drawings to us."

"I will personally supervise the work, and those people will never dare to be careless."

The official tugged at the corners of his mouth and bowed to Lin Ye.

Hearing this, Lin Ye waved his hand.

"I want the weapons built by those people to be extremely important, and I have to supervise the work myself, so I can rest assured."

Seeing Lin Ye say this, the official silently closed his mouth and did not continue to say more.

He took Lin Ye and Father-in-law Fang all the way to the backyard.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard yard, Lin Ye heard a noisy sound in the courtyard.

"You fart! If you add a trap here, the speed of this crossbow will be greatly slowed down! ”

"This is a weapon, not a farming tool! You're making such a complex craft, how do you control the enemy on the battlefield? ”

It was a revealing voice, and after the voice fell, another joking and mocking voice rang out.

"Hehe, that's funny."

"If you don't let me set up a mechanism here, then where are you going to add it?"

"This bow and crossbow is made of iron, not wood, if it is not fixed with a mechanism, then this bow and crossbow will fall apart if it is used two or three times!"

There were two big men in the courtyard arguing with red faces.

On the stone table behind them, there were also a few drawings.

As soon as the official stepped into the courtyard, he heard the words of the two big men.

He frowned and turned his head to look at Lin Ye.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw that Lin Ye had already walked quickly to the drawing.

Lin Ye picked up the drawing and looked at it twice, then picked up the ink pen on the stone table next to him and sketched it a few times.

The official was waiting to step forward when he saw Lin Ye's movements.

His complexion changed slightly.

"You boy! Who told you to touch our drawings?! ”

The two big men who were arguing also noticed the movement in the rear.

They turned their heads to glance at Lin Ye, and one of them raised his hand violently and grabbed Lin Ye's collar!

"Zhao Yong!"

A loud shout rang out behind Lin Ye.

The officials of the Construction Bureau were turned pale with fright.

He rushed forward and was about to say something when he saw Lin Ye wink at him.
