If you want to knock out the opponent's chariot machine crossbow, you must use heavy weapons, in Jiang Xingchen's imagination, there are two weapons available, one is the ballista, ancient China also has bed crossbows, this thing has a long range, powerful hit, directly fire stones, even if the opponent's chariot has iron armor, it can't be prevented. The other is a trebuchet, the guy smashed a hundred and ten pounds of stones, and the result can be imagined.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Xingchen still decided to use the ballista. Trebuchets are used for siege, and it is no problem to hit fixed targets, but it is too reluctant to hit moving chariots.

Just like when he designed the car, Jiang Xingchen just drew his own ideas and the general structure, and the rest depended on the craftsmen.

Through a half-day experiment, he found that his biggest advantage now is to be able to feel the force of the object, use it in the check, check the most appropriate, there is something wrong, he can immediately feel through the external internal qi, where there is a problem with the structure, the bearing capacity is not enough, the problem of length, the problem of severity, the problem of thickness, can find the problem one by one.

He worked with the best craftsmen in the empire and had a wealth of experience. Through continuous attempts, coupled with Jiang Xingchen's control of the direction, in two days' work, they have already made the prototype of the ballista.

At this time, the problem comes, the bowstring can be twisted together to increase the bearing force, and the tension of the bowing body can also be solved, but the sending device can't think of anything, relying on manual pulling of the bowstring, unless it is a master of the Yuan Qi Realm.

If they had such a multi-faceted realm master, they wouldn't have to design this. Hundreds of people rushed directly and wiped out each other.

Ancient Greece used torsion springs, which pulled the bowstring by torsional force. But Jiang Xingchen didn't know this. A man meditates there.

According to the ideas of the craftsmen, it is certainly not possible to pull the bowstring by one person. But Jiang Xingchen knew that there must be a way to achieve it.

The next day, the research and development work was temporarily stopped, and the craftsmen were waiting for Jiang Xingchen to see what method he had figured out......

Just when Jiang Xingchen was racking his brains, Hongyuan City. The scene of Jiang Xingchen's adult birthday has spread.

"The commanders of the four major legions sent people to congratulate them, and the three legions all congratulated Jiang Xingchen on behalf of the entire legion...... I'm not kidding. Is his relationship with the military so good?"

"Yes, I heard that the marshal, the minister of finance, and President Feng Xuanzhang. Even the Great Emperor sent someone!"

"What is this. The Imperial Holy Hand Huang Shi, the two gentlemen of Qingyun, the eldest princess of the Great Qin Kingdom, and the young patriarch of the Golden Lion of the Orc Alliance all went...... Not to mention, even the Grand Duke Wang Shuangyang led by Qi Yue personally rushed to ......"

"Don't rush to cheat, how old is Jiang Xingchen, there is no one in his family at all, can he have such a lot of energy?"

"Cut. Jiang Xingchen is not big, but don't forget. They are the main force of the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe, not to mention the empire, even the four kingdoms have a large number of fans!

"That's right, today my brother came back from the imperial capital, saying that many girls had chartered the performance venue and invited the song and dance troupe to perform Bauhinia's repertoire, and the audience was congratulating Jiang Xingchen on his eighteen-year-old adulthood!"

"Yes, I heard that if it wasn't for Miss Wanrou to stop her, many fans would have gone to Xingchen to get it......"

All kinds of discussions filled Hongyuan City, some were true, some were exaggerated, anyway, the more they talked, the more evil they became, and some even said that the emperor went in person.

Anyway, the news reached the aristocratic management department, and many of the nobles who were ready to move because of the departure of the Marquis of Dingbei were all honest.

What they didn't know was that Zhao Danqing, Sun Sanqiang, the second brother, and the fourth brother were smiling in the courtyard of the Bauhinia Mercenary Regiment at this time.

"You should sit back and relax this time, see who dares to secretly make a stumbling block, I really think that Hou Ye will not be surnamed Xie when he leaves Hongyuan City, and his aristocratic management department will be able to do whatever he wants!" Zhao Danqing pouted disdainfully.

"Scared them to death, after this time, let's move to Xingchen again, they will never dare to obstruct it!" the second brother smiled.

"It is estimated that those people who have eyes on the property of the Hongjiang brothers are now wiping cold sweat!" the fourth child also laughed.

Unlike Hongyuan City, the imperial capital was full of tension at the moment, and people on the streets could always see groups of soldiers hurrying around, twice as many as usual.

In the palace, the representative who went to congratulate Jiang Xingchen on behalf of the Great Emperor was whispering what he had seen and heard in Xingchenling.

"Qi Yuegong went in person, it must be for the matter of the Sixth Legion. What did Jiang Xingchen say, did he come up with a way?" After the representative stopped, the emperor immediately asked.

"Jiang Xingchen said that he has already thought of a solution, but it will take time!" replied the representative.

"It's going to take time, and this kid is going to make something...... If it is a normal attack and defense, there should be no problem with 10,000 Praetorian Guards in the Sixth Legion, but Wei Ning said that the other party is very likely to be looking for a roundabout route...... Is there still time in this way?"

The emperor was silent, thinking of the news sent by the marshal, his face became more and more gloomy, the opponent's chariot machine crossbow was too difficult to deal with, even if the Praetorian Guard went into battle, it would not be able to stop the opponent's frontal crush.

"Emperor! When I was drinking tea and chatting after dinner, I heard them say that the bees adopted by Xingchen are all demon beasts! And there are more than 100 level 14 wind wolves!" the representative added.

"Oh?" the emperor raised his eyebrows, and Old Man Tang didn't tell Tang Chuxue or the marshal the news......

But then, he was relieved in his heart, the other party could say it at the dinner table, which meant that there was no intention of betraying the person, Tang Tianbi also thought that this news didn't matter, so he didn't mention it.

"Alright, you go down!" the Emperor waved his hand, bowing down and exiting the hall.

"Bees have cultivated demon beasts, more than a hundred fourteenth-level wind wolves...... This kid can actually tame demon beasts, what else can't he do......" The Great Emperor stood up with his hands behind his back and muttered in a low voice.

At this moment, the marshal hurriedly walked in, bowed down and said: "Emperor, the personnel of the Eighth Legion are basically gathered, but it is only a primary selection, and it cannot form a combat effectiveness yet!"

"Can't you form a fighting force?" the Great Emperor frowned and asked, "If you send them to the Sixth Legion now......

The marshal hesitated for a moment, bowed down and said: "Such an army is also cannon fodder if it goes, I'm afraid it won't play a big role!"

"I don't need them to play a role, it's just to guard against the other party's detours, then they just need to contain the opponent for a few days and try to buy Jiang Xingchen time!" The Great Emperor had a cold face, and there was a bloody tone in his tone.

The marshal pondered for a moment, and then said: "Emperor, I'm afraid Dingbei Hou won't agree!"

"If he doesn't agree, he has to agree, unless Jiang Xingchen comes up with a solution in a short period of time, he must do this, Qi Yue can't have an accident in the big granary no matter what!" said the Great Emperor patting the table.

"Emperor! But in this way, the losses of the Eighth Legion are too great, and the Marquis of Dingbei will definitely be to blame, and the old faction will attack him, and his position as the commander of the legion will ......."

The marshal didn't say it directly, but the meaning was obvious. It is the emperor who wants the soldiers to die, but this bad reputation must be carried by the Beihou, and if the old faction is difficult, the Eighth Army will fall into the hands of others.

Hearing this, the Emperor let out a long sigh, lowered his eyes, and did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he raised his head and said slowly: "Send a letter to Jiang Xingchen immediately, asking him to speed up the progress and be sure to come up with a solution as soon as possible...... If this battle is successful, I will protect him as a first-class viscount, and the two territories that were developed before will all be under the jurisdiction of the Star Domain!"

The marshal nodded, said no more, turned around and walked quickly away from the hall, and sent a message......

At the same time that the imperial capital was in full swing, in the big tent where the Sixth Army was stationed, Wei Ning was studying with a gold-armored man.

"If the other party takes a detour, we have no other way but to attack!" Wei Ning said.

The golden-armored man nodded, and said in a deep voice: "If they take a detour, they will definitely take away some of the chariots, in that case, we will have less pressure to attack!"

"It's not easy to deal with a few chariots, their crossbows are too powerful, even if we are in the Yuan Qi realm, we can't stand it!" Wei Ning sighed.

The golden-armored man was silent, Wei Ning was right, the other party's weapon was too powerful. His subordinates are the Empire's ace army, and each of them is a precious asset of the Empire, and he cannot afford to suffer casualties.

"Commander, the Jiang Xingchen you are talking about, can he really think of a way, I don't know how long it will take him...... We really can't afford to wait for a long time!" said the gold-armored man.

"Qi Yuegong sent a letter saying that Jiang Xingchen will definitely do his best, but we must do our best to hold each other back!" Wei Ning said.

"I hope it's as you say!" the big man sighed and let out a slow sigh.

At this moment, one of Wei Ning's personal soldiers stepped in, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "Commander, the number of chariots in front of the opponent's formation has increased again, and it seems to have doubled!"

"What?" Wei Ning and the golden-armored big man stood up, glanced at each other, and strode out.

At the head of the city at the front of the station, Wei Ning and the Golden Armor Great Han looked into the distance and exclaimed in horror: "It's really doubled, is the manufacturing capacity of Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect so strong......?"

Just as they were at the top of the city, in the headquarters of Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect, the sect master looked at a huge wooden mechanical machine and smiled: "The trebuchet can throw a hundred catties of stones for three hundred meters...... It's a siege weapon!"

Xian Ning stood quietly to the side and said softly: "This kind of trebuchet has been mentioned many times in the records of the Great Shang Kingdom, but due to the lack of information, I have just researched it...... Moreover, this thing is inconvenient to transport and not easy to manufacture, so it cannot be used in large quantities for the time being!"

"Hehe, where can you use a large number, two are enough, blast open the opponent's city gate, and the chariot can drive straight into the ...... The 100 chariots we have newly built have been transported to the front line of the Tongyu Kingdom at this time!" (To be continued......)
