Chapter 155 Arsenal Purchase
Before leaving Hedong County, many fish once again bowed to Wang Ji: "Lord County Guard, we have traveled a long way, and we have been excited several times, and the loss of weapons is serious......"
Wang Ji saw that many fish were generous, so he readily allowed many fish to go to the arsenal of Hedong County to select equipment.
According to Qin's law, the county guard has no right to do this. But who asked Wang Ji to be recommended by Fan Ju?
The king of Qin gave Wang Ji three years of exclusive power in Aiwu and Wuxia, which means that during these three years, the appointment of personnel and the transfer of property in Hedong County can be determined by Wang Ji alone.
There was a drizzle in the sky, and many fish, Wang Jian and others came to the tall warehouse under the leadership of Zuo Bing Cao Shi.
As far as the eye can see, this is a solid fortress, with thick walls as high as two zhang, about 200 paces long and wide, and surrounded by hundreds of armed soldiers.
"General Xu, the arsenal has arrived."
Baya looked at the weapons and carts full of warehouses, and gasped, it turns out that this is the real strength of Great Qin? The arsenal of a Hedong County is so magnificent, what about Xianyang City? What about Quan Daqin's?
Bayana said: "I'm obedient, what should the arsenal of Xianyang City look like?" ”
The left soldier Cao Shi heard Baya's exclamation, and chuckled: "The Xianyang arsenal is located on the side of the Xianyang Palace, garrisoned by the guards, there are more than here, and the hidden armor and vehicles are large and fine, after all, the best Mo craftsmen are gathered in Xianyang." ”
At this time, the armorer trotted all the way over, and after saluting, he entered with many fish and others.
When they got inside, many fish found that the walls in the storehouse were thicker and the guards were more stringent, and they couldn't help but rejoice, but fortunately they didn't have any dangerous moves.
Zuo Bing Cao Shi seemed to enjoy seeing everyone's surprised and envious looks, and said while leading the way: "The arsenal is the most important place in the county. But in all infighting, siege, the first target is the arsenal! ”
Baya nodded thoughtfully, Ah Mei once taught herself that when fighting, you can attack the enemy's men and horses, grain and grass, baggage, arsenal, and transportation facilities.
I didn't understand why I was attacking the arsenal before, but it wasn't until I saw the arsenal in Hedong County this time that I really realized how big the equipment gap was.
"The arsenal is divided into three parts: car, armor, and soldiers, and I'll take you to see the car first." Left soldier Cao Shi walked in the front to lead the way.
What caught everyone's eyes was thousands of cars of different shapes, lined up in the arsenal in unison, and there was no end in sight.
There are rushing vehicles for siege, light vehicles for attacking enemy troops, and heavy vehicles carrying military supplies such as ordnance, rations, and clothing......
These cars are maintained by special personnel on weekdays, and each vehicle needs to be registered in the warehouse, and when the time comes, they will turn into the most ferocious beasts and trample through the bodies of the enemy.
Zuo soldier Cao Shi looked at the wooden calf signed by the county guard: "According to the order of the county guard, you can choose 20 cars." ”
After speaking, the left soldier Cao Shi and the treasury officer did the formalities and delivery, and many fish and others were in the car, touching left and right.
"Sister, how magnificent this drum car is!"
"Female monarch, rush the car, trap the light car, and the heavy car!" Wang Jian winked at many fish.
When I was in the party, I got so much grain and grass, and this time I got so much ordnance, and the heavy car was not enough!
Many fish: "4 heavy vehicles, 8 punch cars and 8 light vehicles." ”
Baya glanced at the drum cart with regret.
"Go and look at the armor and the Hyogo, and you can take 300 each." Zuo Bing Cao Shi said reluctantly.
It's a free giveaway! There is the kind that goes and never returns! Flesh pain!
The most in the armor library is the leather armor of the Qin soldiers, as well as bronze armor, skin shields, and even vests for chariots and horses.
The weapons in the arsenal are also very complete, such as swords, ge, spears, halberds, chieftain spears, and razor spears...... Most of them are bronze, and there are not many iron tools.
This is no better than Zhao, which is the most important iron ore mining area and iron production center of the Seven Kingdoms due to its rich iron ore resources.
"200 shields and 100 vests. 150 each for the chief spear and the razor spear. "Many fish do not hesitate to make a choice.
The left soldier Cao Shi glanced at many fish without a trace, and it could be judged from her choice that the cavalry under her command accounted for a relatively large proportion.
However, the cavalry had no advantage on the battlefield. Sure enough, he still lacks experience, presumably believing that Liang Cheng is a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.
Many fish and others left the arsenal in a big bowl, and Cao Shi, the left soldier, was very kind enough to send people to send ordnance to the camp.
"Where is that?" Baya asked, pointing not far from the arsenal.
Ding Ding Dong!
A screeching sound could be heard in the distance.
"It's a workshop." Many fish have already explored the distribution of the county.
Since this is not the age of machinery, the workshop is completely operated by manpower, and even if there is an assembly line production, a lot of labor is required. In this workshop, there are tens of thousands of subordinate ministers and concubines.
Baya was silent for a long time before asking, "Ah Mei, is this one of the reasons why you joined the war?" ”
Many fish pointed to the workshop and whispered: "In a war, all you can see is tens of thousands of people fighting. And behind this, there are several times the efforts of people. ”
"Leather armor is to be made of the leather of countless beasts, chariots need all kinds of wood and craftsmen, and arrow feathers need the feathers of poultry and birds. These are natural resources. ”
"For the sake of these resources, workshops, hunters, merchants, farmers, etc., must be mobilized."
"Brother, just relying on our Bashu County, when will we be able to save such a thick family foundation?"
The 10,000 troops brought from Bashu have only 5,000 people left. Among them, there were those who were killed, wounded, left behind, and a few who escaped......
Seeing familiar faces, buried in a foreign land one by one, and even too late to do the soul return ceremony, how could Baya not be heartbroken?
Baya would occasionally wonder why the lieutenant didn't take the troops with him at that time. If Ah Mei wants to take power completely, it is a big deal to put the county lieutenant under house arrest.
The sky is high and the road is far away, and Daqin will not do anything to them.
It wasn't until he came to Hedong County that Baya knew that Ah Mei was right.
The strength of Great Qin is by no means something that a single Bashu can compete with.
Baya looked back at the carts of ordnance, and then thought about the camp full of leather armor and weapons, and silently said to the deceased tribesmen in his heart: "Rest in peace, under the leadership of the goddess, our days will surely get better and better!" ”
Wang Jian sat on the carriage and sighed incessantly: "It's a loss, it's a loss!" ”
Many fish said angrily: "If you can buy weapons with money, you can steal the fun." ”
"If this money can enter the Great Qin treasury, then I have nothing to say. However, this is clearly into Wang Ji's pocket! He is ashamed of his trust in King Qin, and he is ashamed of Great Qin! Wang Jian said impassionedly.
"You can be quiet, we haven't left Hedong County yet." Many of the fish raised a mysterious smile, "Who said that if it goes into his pocket, it won't come out again?" If you eat me, you have to spit it out for me! ”
