Chapter 122: Telescope
"Hey! What for? ”
Being slapped on the shoulder from behind, Chen Chao was startled and almost fell off the city wall.
When I turned my head to look, I found that it was Meng Changge, who was wearing silver armor and a red cloak.
Chen Chao didn't pay attention to her immediately, but waved his hand and told the other lieutenants to do what they had just been told.
Today's Yongguan city wall is about to be completed, and it is two zhang high.
Meng Changge stood at the battlement of the city wall, looked ahead, and found many soldiers digging traps in the open space in front of them, and inserting sharpened wooden thorns in them.
"Chen Chao, you don't have to be like this, right...... Nothing more than bandits? As for being treated so solemnly? ”
Yongguan City is high, and the bandits have no heavy siege weapons.
Not so much, not at all.
"Ahh
Chen Chao disagreed, stood beside Meng Changge, and sighed lightly.
Only then did he say slowly: "General Meng doesn't know, my Daji soldiers are backward in weapons and equipment, neither the Qin army's strong crossbows, a hundred steps through Yang, nor the Chu army's sophisticated armor, invulnerable, so I can only put some effort on this." ”
Meng Changge pouted in disgust, every time he came to find Chen Chao these times, Chen Chao was like this, saying that the equipment of the Daji soldiers was not good here, not good there, and even inferior to the bandits, it was miserable.
Meng Changge knew that Chen Chao was pretending to be pitiful with her!
He just wanted to ask her to borrow some weapons and equipment from the Qin army.
But weapons and equipment, Meng Changge can never be lent.
It's okay to talk about grain and grass, if you borrow it, you will borrow it, and if you borrow it, you can pay it back. But the weapons and equipment are different, every weapon has been registered in the book of the Ministry of War, and every other month someone will be sent to check it.
Therefore, no matter how Chen Chao pretends to be pitiful, Meng Changge's heart is like iron! Motionless!
Borrow weapons and equipment, don't talk!
Seeing that his bitter plan didn't work, Chen Chao cleaned up his expression, quickly changed his thinking, and led Meng Changge to the tower of the city wall.
In front of the command table in the center, there are several drawings.
Chen Chaodao: "General Meng has been guarding the border for many years, and he must have his own unique views on defending the city. ”
Seeing that Chen Chao was so humble, Meng Changge glanced at the drawings a few times in embarrassment.
As soon as his eyes fell on the drawings on the table, Meng Changge couldn't help but let out a soft "huh" and said, "Why are these drawings of yours different from other people's?" ”
The drawing in his hand was a bird's-eye view of Yongguan, which was depicted by Chen Chao for a day and a night, but to Meng Changge's surprise, this drawing was completely different from what he had seen before, and it was unique. This picture is extremely neat and detailed, each line is horizontal and vertical, as if drawn with a ruler compared to a stroke, and even the specific values are marked on the map, such as length, width, direction, so that people can see the general situation of Yongguan at a glance!
Meng Changge picked up a few more drawings, and the drawings were also very detailed, when his fingers touched the lines on the drawings, the strange touch made Meng Changge frown, "This is not ink!" ”
"Of course not!" Chen Chao smiled slightly, and took out his drawing tools from a cloth bag placed at the corner of the table, there were all kinds of rulers of different specifications, and the most important thing was those charcoal strips!
"It's hard for me to draw straight lines with ink, so I usually choose to use charcoal strips!"
As he spoke, Chen Chao held the charcoal strip and lightly stroked it on the drawing, and a perfect straight line was drawn.
Meng Changge didn't have time to stop it, and a good picture was ruined by the Chen Dynasty.
Although the straight line is drawn in an unimportant place, it is still panicked when I look at it.
"You, you, you! A good picture was ruined by you! Meng Changge said angrily.
"Where?"
Chen Chao didn't panic at all, took out a piece of sun-dried steamed bun from the cloth bag, and handed it to Meng Changge, "Try it, it'll fall off as soon as you wipe it." ”
Yes?
Meng Changge suspected that his ears had misheard.
Steamed buns are not meant to be eaten? Is it used to rub?
But under Chen Chao's gaze, Meng Changge still held the steamed bun, aimed at the straight line that Chen Chao had just drawn, and gently wiped it.
A magical scene happened, and the straight line slowly disappeared, although the traces left by the straight line could still be seen, but it didn't affect anything at all.
"Why is that??" Meng Changge looked at the steamed buns in his hand and looked at the drawings like a curious baby.
Chen Chao found a chair and sat down, and explained with a smile: "The steamed bun in your hand is dried, the surface is very rough, the friction is large, the charcoal powder is attached to the paper, and the adhesion is not very large, so it will fall off as soon as you wipe it!" ”
After listening to this explanation, Meng Changge only felt magical.
So, she took the charcoal and drew a few more dishes, took the steamed bun and wiped it off, and raised her brows happily, as if she had discovered a new world.
This thing works.
Learn to go back and use it yourself!
"Okay, stop playing, I asked you to come over to see my Yongguan defense, not for you to wipe around."
Meng Changge came back to his senses, and then carefully looked at the contents of the drawings.
After a while, Meng Changge straightened up and said:
"If I were a bandit, I would never come to attack your city!"
Hearing this, Chen Chao was relieved.
After reading the drawings, Meng Changge was attracted by another thing on the table and picked it up casually.
This is a long cylindrical thing, about the length of a forearm, Meng Changge tried to close one eye, and looked inside, there seemed to be something inside, shiny, the other end of the long tube was aimed at Chen Chao, Meng Changge looked at it again.
What a big eyeball!
Slowly moving down, Meng Changge could clearly see the fine hairs on Chen Chao's face, nose and lips......
"It's ...... What? ”
"You look at me to see what you're doing, look outside, you can see more clearly."
Chen Chao instructed Meng Changge how to use this kind of thing, explaining: "This is my self-made telescope, it is said that the crystal stone without impurities in this world is too difficult to find, I searched for a long time to find two pieces, one ground into a convex surface, one ground into a concave surface, and slowly polished smooth...... However, this telescope doesn't look too far away, and it needs follow-up improvements, but it's enough for now. ”
Meng Changge walked outside with a telescope and aimed at a place a few hundred meters away.
I was shocked when I saw it, so I quickly took it back!
Then, she looked at it again and took it back!
This?
It's so clear.
A stone's throw away.
Even the color, shape, and size of the pebbles on the ground can be seen clearly.
This thing is so much better than the eyes of an archer!
Back in the city tower, Meng Changge thought about how to trick this thing.
Chen Chao directly broke Meng Changge's illusion: "The telescope can't send you!" I'm just this one! ”
"Cut, stingy!" Meng Changge threw the telescope on the table and pursed his lips.
This woman!
It's so fast!
Chen Chao sighed in his heart.
After seeing some other strange things here in Chen Chao, Meng Changge forgot the time, and by the time she remembered, it was already completely dark.
Pack up and leave.
Meng Changge said: "I'm going back!" See you another day! I hope that the next time we meet, your city is still there and you are still alive. ”
The next time the two meet, it is estimated that it will be after the bandits attack the city.
What will become of this place at that time? Is Chen Chao still there?
No one can say.
"Okay, don't send it slowly."
After a simple farewell, Meng Changge pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, and was about to leave the city tower in the wind.
"Wait a minute!"
When Meng Changge was about to leave, Chen Chao suddenly stopped Meng Changge.
Meng Changge stood still, turned his head suspiciously, and looked at Chen Chao, not knowing what he was going to do.
Chen Chao got up, picked up the binoculars on the table, and handed it to Meng Changge, "Oh, I've sent it to you." ”
"Send me?" Meng Changge pointed at himself, incredulous, "Didn't you say that there is only this one?" Willing? ”
Chen Chao looked at Meng Changge and smiled gently, "It's not for nothing, I need your help when Yongguan is fighting with bandits." ”
Meng Changge shook his head and refused: "This is your Daji's family matter, and the Qin State can't interfere!" ”
If the Qin State makes a move, I am afraid that it will cause serious diplomatic affairs, and it is not impossible for Daji and the Qin State to go to war, and Meng Changge cannot afford this responsibility. The grain she lent to Chen Chao was already walking on a tightrope.
Chen Chao stuffed the binoculars into Meng Chang Singer and asked her to take it well and not lose it, "I don't need you to interfere too much, when I fight with the bandits, you can just stand on the other side of the Yonghe River!" ”
"Huh?"
Meng Changge frowned puzzled.
Standing on the other side of the Yong River?
Watching a play?
But she quickly figured it out.
Chen Chao is going to play a fox fake tiger might!
After thinking about it, Meng Changge lowered his head and chuckled, clenching the telescope in his hand, "Okay, this general has helped!" After all, you still owe General Ben a lot of food, and General Ben doesn't want you to be chopped up by bandits! If that happens, the general's food will be wasted. ”
After speaking, Meng Changge flicked his cloak and disappeared into the night.
It's a windy woman!
