Under the order of Ying Chengcheng, the soldiers of all departments were integrated and reorganized, and stepped on the four walls to resist the enemy.

During the mobilization of soldiers and horses, Ying Chengcheng ordered while thinking: "Master Cao Mao!" ”

Soon, Cao Mao hurriedly ran over: "Boss, are you looking for me?" ”

Ying Chengyun immediately asked, "How much do you know about Chu Crossbow?" ”

Cao Mao subconsciously said: "What is there to know about the rotten Chu crossbow?" ”

"It's not ...... at all"

Noticing Su Jiao's staring at him, Cao Mao had to change his words: "Also, it can be of some use." ”

"When I was a child, I followed Ah Weng to form a Chu crossbow and used it to shoot birds."

Su Jiao: ???

Bird shooting?

Are you polite!

Cao Mao's words revealed his disdain for Chu Xuan.

If Ying Chengcheng led the main force of Great Qin to fight against the Chu army in Anling City, the Chu crossbow would still pose a threat to the Qin army, but the threat would be greatly reduced.

It's a pity that there is no if, Ying Chengchan's positioning in this battle is only a partial division.

As a result, most of the armor-wearing soldiers were transferred to Wang Qian's main army, and the armor-wearing rate of Ying Cheng's troops was much lower than the normal level of the Qin army.

This gave Chu Xuan a chance to be reckless.

Ying Chengcheng asked: "In other words, will you make a Chu crossbow?" ”

Cao Mao nodded, and shook his head again: "I know what to do, but it is not easy to build this thing, and it can even be said to be extremely difficult!" ”

"The structure of the Chu crossbow is not difficult, the difficulty is that every crossbow arrow and each crossbow must be exactly the same, and the slightest deviation will cause the crossbow arrow to fall smoothly into the crossbow machine."

During the Warring States period, the military trade of various countries was very frequent.

For example, Great Qin often exported war horses to Chu, Han, Wei and other countries.

Most of the crossbows of the Chu State were also imported from Korea.

Why do these countries sell weapons that can be used to kill enemies on the battlefield to hostile countries?

One is because of interests, and the other is because every weapon that can be named a country is not only excellent in structure, design and weapon, but also represents the perfect production system behind it!

The core of Chu Crossbow is not only its structural design, but also the standardized manufacturing process behind it.

Cao Mao asked tentatively: "Boss, you don't want us to build the Chu Crossbow, right?" ”

Ying Cheng shook his head: "Yes, can you create it?" ”

Cao Mao thought for a while and nodded vigorously: "Yes!" ”

"But it must not be as easy to use as the Chu crossbow built by the Chu State, and there will definitely be crossbow arrows stuck in the crossbow box from time to time and cannot fall."

Ying Chengcheng said happily: "That's enough! ”

"If others have it, the general's soldiers must also have it."

"Da Qin must create his own Chu crossbow!"

If it was before the expedition, Cao Mao would definitely have 10,000 words waiting to reply to Yingcheng.

What the hell is it for?

But after the impact of the counterweight catapult, Cao Mao only bowed his hand without hesitation: "Only! ”

"Within half a year, I will definitely make at least a hundred Chu crossbows and hand them over to the boss!"

Ying Chengcheng: ???

Ying Chengcheng looked at Cao Mao in shock: "Half a year? ”

Will you wait for half a year?

Do you think that Ben will be able to resist the Chu army for half a year with this mere Anling City and 50,000 soldiers and horses?

You really look up to the general!

Cao Mao hurriedly explained: "The crossbow is different from the catapult, and the wood and tendon strings used take a long time to concoct. ”

"What I made in half a year is only usable, and it may be broken when this battle is over."

"If you want to make a crossbow that can be used for a long time, it will take a few years."

Still a few years?

If Daqin's main army hasn't come to help in a few years, then my eldest brother will definitely be taken away by other traversers!

Ying Chengcheng immediately said: "Then use the old wood and bowstring." ”

Cao Mao shook his head again and again: "That's not possible." ”

"Our Great Qin's crossbows are all big, and the wood used is also big and thick, and a crossbow arm is bigger than the entire Chu crossbow."

"How can you make a Chu crossbow from the wood of the Qin crossbow!"

Ying Cheng drew his sword out of the sheath, half-squatted down, and outlined a few lines with the tip of the sword.

Cao Mao's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly shouted to his subordinates: "Quickly get the plank!" ”

Taking the wooden board and carving knife handed by his subordinates, Cao Mao squatted directly on Ying Cheng's side, and carved the seal according to the lines drawn by Ying Chengcheng.

But engraved and engraved, Cao Mao was a little hesitant: "Isn't this the Korean Xizi crossbow?" ”

Ying Cheng bowed slightly: "Compared with my Great Qin's crossbow and Korea's crossbow such as distance and time, the Korean Xizi crossbow is the lightest." ”

"And after the destruction of South Korea, the arsenals of various counties in South Korea have been counted, and there is a lot of stock of Xizi crossbows, which is very suitable for modification."

Cao Mao couldn't help but say, "But even the smallest Xizi crossbow in South Korea is more than twice as big as the Chu crossbow. ”

"If you transform the Xizi crossbow, it will definitely not be as small as the Chu crossbow."

Ying Cheng smashed his mouth: "Just use it." ”

"Anling City is not hilly and mountainous, so it doesn't need to be so small."

Ying Chengcheng also knows that the transformation is not as good as the overall construction, but time does not allow it!

Cao Mao became more and more speechless: "But if it's not small, how can it be wound quickly?" ”

Before the words fell, Cao Mao saw Ying Chengcheng draw a pole above the crossbow machine.

Cao Mao was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized: "General, you are going to use the tip rod on the catapult on the crossbow machine backwards!" ”

Ying Chengcheng smiled happily: "Not bad." ”

"Ben would have called this structure a leveraged structure."

"The position of the fulcrum on the rod, as well as the arm that exerts the force, determines whether this lever structure is labor-saving or labor-intensive."

"The catapult is a laborious lever, but this crossbow wrench is a labor-saving lever."

"By adding this lever to the crossbow string, the stream crossbow can also be wound quickly."

"Then put the arrow box of the Chu crossbow on top of the Xizi crossbow machine, and you can complete the reloading of the crossbow arrow."

Cao Mao's eyes lit up and looked at the sketch drawn by Ying Chengcheng: "It can be like this!" I see! And so it was! ”

At this moment, Cao Mao solved many problems that he had not been able to figure out.

Cao Mao felt that he had opened the door to a new world, and he couldn't wait to hurry back to the baggage camp and use this structure to improve on his previous works.

But Cao Mao's reason pressed him in place and told him that business matters!

Ying Cheng finished drawing the drawings with a sword, and asked in a deep voice: "Ben will give you five days to try to produce such a repeater, it is possible?" ”

Cao Mao threw his hand away: "If you are humble, you will not be dishonored!" ”

Ying Chengcheng bowed his head happily: "Good." ”

"When this battle is over, Ben will personally ask for credit for you!"

Cao Mao rushed down the city wall with excitement on his face, and Ying Chengcheng looked out of the city with a gloomy face: "Summons Wang Pan, as long as the Jing army enters the firing range, it will be smashed by the general!" ”

……

Twenty days later.

"Boom!"

The sound of falling stones sounded again, and Zhao Yuan could even feel the tremors of the ground.

But Zhao Yuan did not have the slightest fear, but looked at the east with interest: "Jing's has been beaten again?" ”

Zhao Huang said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of deep hatred Chang'an Jun has with the Jing family, but he actually threw all the catapults into the East City, and the troops were sent from the East City Gate many times. ”

"I think the Jing clan's battle damage should exceed 10,000, right?"

Zhao Yuan agreed: "No more, no less." ”

In the days leading up to the siege, all the clans were trying their best to attack the city in order to get ahead of the city.

But after several days of continuous onslaught to no avail, all the clans realized that there were no vain soldiers under the fame, and Anling City, which was defended by Yingcheng, was not so easy to attack!

This is a tough battle for soldiers, morale and baggage!

After discovering that Ying Chengcheng was targeting the Jing clan, the princes not only put away their thoughts of attacking, but also did not send reinforcements to support them at all, but began to paddle the water.

Because the princes are not only robes on the battlefield, but also opponents in the court battle.

For every point that the strength of the Jing clan was weakened, the relative strength of the Qu clan, the Zhao clan, and the royal family also increased by one point.

Because of unity, they cannot afford to fall into the trap.

But why not kill people with a knife?

Confirming that there were no reinforcements from the Qin army on the city wall, Zhao Yuan chuckled and ordered: "Order the generals of our army to slow down the siege!" ”

The atmosphere in the three cities is quite relaxed.

But in the east of Anling City, the atmosphere is very heavy.

As soon as a group of Jing's private soldiers who were originally marching towards Anling City arrived fifty zhang outside the city wall, they were attacked head-on by the Qin army's catapults.

"Boom !!"

Another flying stone smashed into the Chu army's formation.

The stone weighing one hundred and fifty pounds did not shatter after falling, but staggered forward on the ground.

Each leap takes the life of at least one soldier.

"Get out of the way! Fast! ”

"Stand back, the flying stones are coming! Yes!!! ”

"Big brother! I, I ate my big brother! ”

In the face of this irresistible flying stone, how many people can stay calm?

Many of Jing's private soldiers were wailing and dodging, and the military formation that was originally used to defend against Qin's crossbow dispersed, allowing Qin's crossbow to easily harvest a large number of lives.

There were even several soldiers kneeling in front of the minced flesh and blood with bloody faces, wailing.

Obviously, the people who were smashed into minced flesh by the stones were their closest relatives!

Seeing that the morale of the private soldiers collapsed, Jing Jiao said in a scorched voice: "Family master, you can't do this anymore!" ”

"More than 14,000 soldiers of our army have died in this battle."

"If we continue to fight like this, even if my Jing clan takes the city first, I won't be able to make up for the losses in this battle!"

Jing Chou's face was also very ugly.

Is it he himself who wants to continue the siege?

No!

It was Xiang Yan who ordered every clan to attack the city.

If it weren't for Xiang Yan's order, how could Jing Chou send his private soldiers to his death?

But looking at the Jing clan's military camp, which was obviously a little empty, Jing Chou finally spoke in a deep voice: "Order Jing Po's troops to retreat!" ”

"Ben will personally go to General Xiang to speak."

"We can't fight like this again!"

All the people of the Jing clan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately surrendered their hands: "The head of the family is wise!" ”

As soon as Jing Chou pulled the reins, he was about to go to find Xiang Yan.

But as soon as the war horse turned its head, a high-frequency and rapid vibration quietly rose and intensified.

Jing Chou and the others of the Jing clan suddenly turned their heads to look at the east.

A black line caught their eye.

Gradually, the line turned into a surface, and a large number of Qin troops jumped down from the hillside and rushed towards Anling City!

Anling City Head.

Ying Chengcheng suddenly got up, unconsciously took two steps forward, leaned out of the city wall, and looked into the distance with joyful eyes.

There, there is the banner of Great Qin!

Seeing the familiar military flag, Ying Chengcheng was about to cry.

With 50,000 soldiers and horses, he held out for 20 days under the siege of Xiang Yan's 350,000 army.

Do you know how these twenty days would have been lived?

Now, reinforcements have finally arrived!

Full of indignation, he turned into a roar, and spat out from the mouth of Yingcheng: "Order! The East Gate is open! ”

"Zhang Xiao's troops are preparing for battle, go out of the city with the general to kill the enemy, and kill all the heads of Jing's dogs!"

All the pro-soldiers roared in unison: "Kill the head of the Jing dog!" ”
