Chapter 16 Ballista

Luoyang City is covered with clouds of war, and it will soon become the focus of the world. Who among the three parties, Qin, Chu or Pei, can take control of Sanchuan and control this fortress will determine the general trend of the world in the future.¢£This is not the case.

Alarmist, otherwise why would Qin and Chu be so worried about Yang Lin controlling Sanchuan?

The atmosphere in Luoyang City has become more and more tense due to the approaching battle. Now the Pei army's scouts have been patrolling five times a day instead of three times a day, and the scope of the investigation has also increased by ten miles.

, it can be seen that Yang Lin attaches great importance to this battle. The people in the city seem to have felt the changes in Pei's army. With the help of the three elders, these people independently joined the team transporting the rolling stones and giant trees.

Just as Pei's army was waiting in full formation, Zhao Meng hurried to the lobby with a happy face. After saluting, he said eagerly: "My lord, Mr. Li has lived up to his expectations and finally developed a repeating crossbow vehicle."

"Seriously?" After hearing this, Yang Lin stood up quickly and asked in surprise.

Zhao Meng nodded and quickly replied: "At this time, the Liannu chariot is at work. Please go and check, my lord."

"Good, very good!" Yang Lin laughed loudly. Mr. Li was worthy of being a descendant of the Mohist family. He also developed Mozi's crossbow chariot. Yang Lin said again: "Go to the workers quickly."

"No!" Zhao Meng responded with his hands raised, and then led Yang Lin to the workers in a hurry.

Mr. Li's yard was very lively at the moment. Seeing the crossbow chariot, the loyal craftsmen selected by Zhao Meng were all talking about it. This time they finally opened their eyes. The legendary city defense weapon was actually developed under their noses.

.Many craftsmen looked at Mr. Li no longer with respect, but with a kind of blind worship. Even some of the most prestigious old men among these craftsmen followed Mr. Li's advice.

"I'm convinced, Mr. Li's skills are beyond my comparison."

"If I can see a repeating ballista in my lifetime, I will die without regrets."

"Mr. Li, I would like to worship you as my teacher." These craftsmen were extremely excited. For them, Mozi was like the founder of the family. However, as the Mohist family withdrew from people's sight, Mozi's skills were gradually lost.

Now that Mr. Li is able to develop a repeating crossbow chariot, these craftsmen understand that Mr. Li must be a member of the Moh family.

Mr. Li seemed to have not heard what the craftsmen said. He was still lowering his head and touching the crossbow cart, checking whether each wooden piece was installed accurately. It was obvious that he was doing the final inspection.

Amid everyone's discussion, Zhao Meng led Yang Lin to the courtyard. When the craftsmen saw Yang Lin, they hurriedly saluted, and the whole courtyard immediately became quiet. The only sound was the sound of Mr. Li knocking and inspecting. Yang Lin walked over and looked at

He was filled with emotion when he saw the huge repeating ballista, which was more than two feet wide and about one foot high. Even in later generations, the repeating ballista was a weapon that was feared by people. In addition to being inconvenient to move, the repeating ballista had the ability to accurately

It has many advantages such as high speed, high lethality, and wide strike range, which poses a great threat to the charging enemy generals on the battlefield.

"My lord, you are here." Mr. Li looked up and saw Yang Lin and said hurriedly.

Yang Lin looked equally excited. He smiled at Mr. Li and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li."

"Haha, my lord is joking. It is my lifelong wish to develop a repeating crossbow vehicle. The fact that I can complete it today is entirely because of the existence of workers. Otherwise, I might still be living a homeless life." Mr. Li suddenly burst into tears.

Zongheng. shook his head slightly and said bitterly.

Yang Lin naturally knew the sadness in Mr. Li's heart. After all, seeing the Liannu chariot reminded him of the people of the Mo family. Now that the world is in chaos, he doesn't know how many children of the Mo family can survive. He said to Mr. Li in a deep voice: "I

It was originally intended to provide shelter for the children of the Mohist family in the world. Anyone from the Mohist family can come to Luoyang. I guarantee that they can freely develop their talents here."

"Lord..." Hearing this, Mr. Li looked at Yang Lin in a daze. He never thought that his lord would have such a broad mind. He then thought that the children of the Mo family would no longer have to hide in Tibet, and even the Mo family could return to Tibet again.

Condensed, Mr. Li could not hide the complex and exciting emotions in his heart. "I would like to thank the lord on behalf of the children of the Mo family!"

After receiving Mr. Li's respectful salute, Yang Lin waved his hand and said: "As long as Luoyang is defended, I will fulfill my promise. Please rest assured, Mr. Li."

"My lord, I will naturally feel at ease." Mr. Li calmed down. Even though he stayed in the courtyard all day, he actually understood Pei Jun's current situation in his heart. Thinking of this, Mr. Li's eyes flashed with a cold light and said: "My lord.

Please see, this is the launching slot of the repeating ballista, where the crossbow arrows are placed. This is a bow made of mulberry wood, which has good balance and stability. This huge bow string is made of hundreds of animal sinews.

Needless to say, it is made of tough material and has strong rebounding force. It requires at least ten strong soldiers to pull the string."

After hearing Mr. Li's explanation, Yang Lin nodded. It took ten stout soldiers to draw the bowstring. This shows that this crossbow vehicle has huge rebound power, and the most direct manifestation of the rebound force is the distance and damage of the strike.

force.

"But..." Mr. Li paused for a moment, and then said: "The serial crossbow cart created by the first generation of the Mohist family can fire fifty large crossbow arrows. I am stupid, and this serial crossbow cart can only fire twenty large crossbow arrows. Compared with

Compared with what was created by the giants, the gap is huge."

"Mr. Li, there's no need to belittle yourself. I'm afraid the skill of the crossbow cart has been lost. It's you who brought it back to the battlefield and back to people's sight." Yang Lin comforted, fifty crossbow arrows are indeed attractive, but something is better than nothing.

, people cannot be too greedy, he added: "When Mr. Li improves it in the future, I believe that this battery of crossbows will return to the glory of Mozi's time."

"Lord, since the crossbow chariot is ready, do you want to go to the tower to test-fire?" Zhao Meng suggested.

Hearing this, Yang Lin groaned and said: "If it is a test firing, I'm afraid the Qin army's informants will know about it."

Mr. Li said: "My lord, if you are worried about leaks, there is no need to test-fire. I am willing to use the human head on my neck to ensure that the vehicle can be launched normally." Mr. Li is very confident in his own skills, even if it is the first time he has developed a repeating crossbow.

Car, he dared to guarantee so.

Zhao Meng was obviously surprised when he heard this. He said: "Mr. Li, Fei Meng doesn't trust you, but this matter is very important, so we must be cautious."

As Zhao Meng said, the serial ballista is a weapon that can change the battlefield. If it cannot be launched at the critical moment, it will bring great loopholes and threats to the Pei army's defensive layout.

"I also know the importance of this matter, but I also believe in my own skills and the fragments left by the giant." Mr. Li said again very stubbornly.

Yang Lin paused, thought for a moment, and then said: "According to what Mr. Li said, there is no need to test-fire the battery-carrying vehicle. As a secret weapon of our Pei army, it is not appropriate to expose this matter in advance."

"Lord!" Zhao Meng shouted hurriedly.
