This chain of giant crossbows attacks a third farther than the Empire's standard weapons, and its lethality is definitely greater. The problem is that similar giant crossbows in the empire are also manipulated by innate stage qi refiners, and it is impossible to use qi refiners who induce qi into the body. This soldier himself only needs to calculate to understand that according to the kind of consumption of Fang Cai, it is the realm of qi induction into the body, and he can easily manipulate the giant crossbow attack.

In this way, it is very difficult for the enemy's flying puppets, airships, and even Qi Refiners in the foundation building period to approach in the air.

If ten of these ballistas were to be fired at the same time, the Qi Refiners in the Foundation Building Period would also be shot into a hornet's nest.

Su Jing is quite calm, this weapon is improved by him, if more than forty crossbow arrows can't kill an eagle, he still has to go back to Yujing City and be a rich young master. A good shooter can shoot an eagle according to its flight attitude without even locking on.

However, the shortcomings of this chain of giant crossbows are also exposed, once the archer is nervous, it can shoot a box of crossbow arrows in an instant. A Qi Refiner with rich combat experience can use the soldier's heart to lure out the arrows in this crossbow box and waste them.

It's just that this is Dao equipment, and if you want to change the frequency of shooting, it's much more difficult than modifying a firearm. The integrated design has no way to do fast or slow machines. If you disassemble it and redo it, the structure will become unstable.

This thing is mass-produced, and if it needs someone from the Jindan realm to make it, it doesn't make much sense. A battalion of 40,000 men was to be equipped with 800 chariots. How many imperial troops were there? Once the westward expedition began, it would be in the tens of millions.

In the blink of an eye, Su Jing already had an idea. You can't modify the structure of the chain crossbow from the inside, you can start from the trigger and design a mechanism, which is much easier.

The chariot continued to gallop. Su Jing's eyes searched left and right, and after a while, he saw a suitable target. It was supposed to be a dead tree, but it was covered in ice and snow, and it looked like a white boulder, and it was ten feet high.

Su Jing gave the order again, and another chariot was on. The soldier in charge of the ballista immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed at the ice.

The Empire's ballista, which fires steel pellets, is itself a device equivalent to a low-level magic weapon. The Soul Cannon is an Imperial equipment.

The steel pellets fired by this Soul Separation Cannon are one large and thirty-six small. The largest steel shot itself has a tracking property, and the thirty-six small steel shots, after flying out of the arc, will follow the largest steel shot to fly. Creates an enveloped area. The low cost of this thing is an advantage, but it does not have the ability to destroy heavy walls, and is used to kill and injure the soldiers at the head of the city.

The Imperial army did not have a dense formation in the field, unless it rushed into the enemy's position, and in the process of charging, it was at least two feet apart. In the field, the killing effect of the Soul Cannon is small. As for the role. It is to strike the enemy in a charging formation.

The Empire's giant crossbows are extremely penetrating and encounter heavy cavalry. It can also pierce four or five in a row, but this soul cannon is a blunt weapon strike effect, and it stops after hitting the target.

Su Jing also couldn't increase the rate of fire of this cannon, the attack distance and power could be slightly increased, and the rate of fire was three rounds per minute. If it is launched by a person who has induced qi into the body realm, it can only be fired twice per minute. This is very slow, as the main weapon of the chariot, it is obviously inferior to the chain of giant crossbows.

Bang!

The Mother and Son Soul Cannon came out in response and hit the large lump of ice fiercely. The entire mound of ice was blasted open. The debris of dead trees was flying.

Su Jing's soldiers were stunned when they saw that most of the ten-zhang high ice mounds had been blown off. With this power, if the innate martial artist is hit, it is difficult to say whether he can survive or not. There is no one in this team who is under the congenital period, thinking that he is holding a tower shield and releasing the Dao Technique to reinforce, facing the scene of this soul cannon, everyone is trembling in their hearts.

I'm afraid that even people with shields will fly out of the air, and whether they are dead or not depends entirely on whether the equipment and Taoism are powerful.

Su Jing nodded, with such lethality, the low rate of fire can be tolerated. It's not that Su Jing can't create something more powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, the launcher is not safe enough, and the enemy can easily destroy it if he uses Dao techniques from a distance.

In the military, stability comes first. If this Soul Separation Cannon uses crystal powder to pull the most formation, the rate of fire can be increased immediately. But the enemy can sneak into a hundred zhang away from a random Qi Refiner in the foundation building period, and a shock-cracking Dao technique can destroy the core of this ballista.

The soul cannon and the chain of giant crossbows were all expected by Su Jing, and there were no accidents. The close-range crossbow could not be tested, and even so, Su Jing's subordinates were also highly motivated.

The chariot galloped across the field, and in half a day, it passed through several rivers. The performance of the chariot on the ice also satisfied Su Jing, and he even let the vehicle run on the ice for more than ten minutes without any signs of skidding. This kind of technique can't be done on the earth, but in this world, it is relatively easy to solve.

After running for five hours in a row, the high-intensity consumption made the soldiers quite tired and a little hungry. Rushing like this is no easier than fighting.

Su Jing felt that it was almost there, and the sky was as dark as the bottom of the pot, so the team stopped and camped directly.

At the end of the marching training, it is the training of the camp. Even if there is only a team of 200 people, everything must come according to the rules of the large army.

Su Jing did not participate in the command, and Su Mu did not say a word, these soldiers chose a slightly flat ground according to their training habits. Because it is a war horse of demon beast blood, there is no need for one person to ride two or three horses when marching, everyone only has one war horse.

Small units, no special vehicles for logistics, four field vehicles separated, each occupying a corner. Two hundred people, all ten people in one tent, that is, twenty tents.

The tents are all in the leather bag that you carry with you, this skin bag has a spatial attribute, there is no expansion effect, it is designed by Su Jing, the price is not low, and the only meaning is to reduce the burden of the soldiers.

Some soldiers took out the vibrator designed by Su Jing, punched holes in the ground, quickly built the bones of the tent, and then covered them with cowhide. On the ground inside the tent, after a layer of tarpaulin was laid, five soldiers on each side covered five pieces of leather, and then took the sleeping bag behind the horse.

Unfold the sleeping bag, and there are slightly raised parts on the neck, lower back, and feet, and rub it with the palm of your hand for a while, and these places will emit heat.

Zippers are a very good thing, and there are similar designs in this world, but there is no fully enclosed waterproof zipper.

Su Jing's sleeping bags are glued, and the soldiers first close the sleeping bags, and when they come back to sleep, the temperature inside is enough to resist the cold.

Su Jing paid great attention to these details. It is very important to maintain the physical strength of the soldiers and avoid non-combat attrition. This is also the key to ensuring morale.

The soldiers came out of their tents and into the middle of the camp, where a large pit had been dug in the ground and a fire for warmth. Because of the Taoist art in this world, the fire in the middle of the barracks will burn overnight, and it will not catch fire. And whether it is ignited or not, the enemy can detect the existence of the barracks from a long distance.

Above the camp, a small airship lifted into the air, the airship only weighed a dozen catties, and a metal bottle with eight sides hanging underneath. From the holes around the bottles, a dark red light was cast onto the wagons at the four corners of the camp.

This is an early warning device to prevent enemies such as Assassins from reaching the camp.

There are too many devices that can make people fly, especially things that can only fly three or five hundred feet away. Gliding into the camp is fairly easy.

The soldiers were ready to eat, and on the chariots at the four corners, the planks on the sides of the wagons were raised, and the soldiers who were in charge of standing guard covered them with felt cloth and turned into closed carriages. Six soldiers rotated in the car for vigil.

Between the chariots, caves were carved out of the ground, javelins were inserted, bouncing thistles were arranged around the perimeter, and ice walls were built on three sides with Taoism. If it weren't for such weather in the north, then cast earthen walls. The height of these walls, up to the shoulders of men, is not even a horse can stop it.

The soldier wall directly behind the camp was slightly higher, two zhang thick, and the war horses were arranged here, surrounded by felt cloth for warmth.

Su Jing saw that the soldiers were busy, and sighed in his heart.

A camp of 200 people is so complicated, if it is 2,000 people, what about 20,000 people? No wonder the ancient marches wasted most of their time on camping.

The vibrator invented by himself is really useful, fixing tents, javelins, building stables, digging toilets, these things are very trivial, and if there are no suitable tools, it will take more than an hour of soldiers' time.

Su Jing and Su Mu lived in a tent, and now there was finally no one to serve them, Su Mu went out to inspect it, checked the military rations carried by the soldiers, they could be heated and eaten, and returned to the tent after no problem.

"How do you feel?" asked Su Jing. He was a man who had participated in military training and was accustomed to such hardship.

"It's fine. But these soldiers are too young, and now they look excited. Veterans are not like that. "Su Mu is from a military family in the end, and many of the books that Xiaoyao Hou read to her are military. Since agreeing to Su Jing Jianjun, Su Mu has worked hard to cram knowledge.

These soldiers were elite enough, and she still saw the problem at a glance.

"Only after the actual combat can you be a veteran. Su Jing said: "They are not too young, they are too tender." ”

"Tender?"

"Well, for the enemy, these little ones are tender and tasty, and they are easy to swallow. ”

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

"I plan to go west in three years. There is a border pass in the northern region, we can find a place to be stationed, and the master has influence there. Pull 40,000 people over, battalion by battalion, and go to the wilderness to find tribes to fight. At that time, I estimated that there would be a lot of sorcerers who would appear and just use them for military training. ”

Seeing Su Mu's silence, Su Jing said: "There is not much time, what can be trained in three years, even if it is ten years, these soldiers will not work." Those who don't see blood will always be hairy boys. Ci is not in charge of the army, you don't have to be afraid of sacrifice, without the tempering of iron and blood, they will never grow up. ”

Su Mu sighed, many soldiers were personally recruited by her, through the introduction of Su Jian's brothers. She didn't want these people to die in a foreign land. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.biquge.info. )
