Part 2 Chapter 8: The Imperial Capital Puts Down the Chaos 1
[69 Book Bar-www.] "One Thousand Steps!"
When the number of steps reported for the target was reported, everyone exclaimed at the same time.
The strong bows commonly used by the Imperial Army are mostly five forces. The Guanri bow I used to use was a super strong bow, with eight forces, which is no longer something that ordinary people can use. There is a ten-force shaking bow in the army.
, was used by Chen Kaidao, the most powerful among the twelve generals back then. It is said that Wu Hou had pulled it open when he was young. The greater the power, the harder the bow is to control. Archery is not just about the power that can be pulled open, but the number of nine forces is to shoot out.
After the arrow, the force of the bow string collapses is difficult to control. If you are not careful, even your fingers may collapse.
Absolutely, there was a strong man in the army, Min Chao, who was said to have the power to suppress the bull. He bet with someone that he could pull the Dazzling Bow, but the arrow shot out, and his thumb was also collapsed by the rebounding force of the Dazzling Bow.
But even if the sky-shaking bow is fully pulled, it can shoot up to 500 steps. The thunder crossbow made by Xue Wenyi can easily shoot up to 1,000 steps away. Wouldn't it be as powerful as twenty?
This thunder crossbow can be used even by an ordinary soldier. It can be said that once the thunder crossbow is released, it will greatly increase the attack power in the army.
Wenhou raised his eyebrows and said, "One thousand steps? Isn't that wrong?"
The target reported the target said: "There will be no mistake. I counted carefully. There were 1,077 steps in total, and five arrows were shot, and two arrows hit the target."
A person's steps are big and small, but no matter what, it is really shocking to shoot so far. Wenhou turned around and bowed to the prince and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, with this powerful weapon, the imperial army will be like a tiger and the enemy will be defeated even more.
I've grasped it a few times."
The prince murmured, "Is one thousand steps far away?" He still didn't realize what the meaning of these thousand steps was, and he was still confused, not understanding why we were so amazed. Wenhou said, "This
The Thunder Crossbow has increased the range of bows and arrows several times, and the army is well equipped, so we have... we have a sharp blade in our hands, but the enemy is still bare-handed."
The metaphor of Wenhou is very easy to understand. The prince also smiled and said, "Is it true? In this way, why don't you make a batch quickly? Xue Qing, how much can you do in a month?"
Xue Wen also pushed the wheelchair, went to the prince, bowed and said, "Your Highness, this thunder crossbow is exquisitely made. Now most people in the wooden mansion are going to make warships. I am responsible for rushing to make them day and night, and I can only make twenty pieces a day.
.”
Wen Hou twisted his beard and smiled and said, "There are more than twenty days left, so you can make four or five hundred pieces, and you may form a crossbow army." He looked upright and said, "Bi Wei!"
A young general next to him came out and said, "The last general is here."
"You cooperate with Xue Yuanwai to practice day and night, and you have 500 people in your unit. It is necessary for everyone to practice this thunder crossbow well."
Bi Wei raised his head and shouted: "I will get the order!"
His voice was extremely loud, and it seemed like a giori rolling across the playground. Although he was not old, he had a curly beard. With such a loud voice, he was even more majestic. On the playground, whether it was an instructor or a student,
They were all infected by him and were full of energy. I stood among the group of students I brought, and I felt a sense of heat in my heart.
The news that the Southern Expedition Army was wiped out a heavy blow to the Empire. Although I have been in the military academy these days, I feel a sense of panic that is spread all day long. The second prince's reinforcements have been set off for nearly ten days.
It is said that the initial battle is unfavorable, and the secret envoy has been sent back to make an emergency, which has caused rumors to spread, saying that Dongping City is in danger under the fierce attack of the snake man. If the enemy is buried, the snake man will soon break through Dongping City and cross the sea to the north. Some imagination is abundant
The rich man said that this was the reinforcements that Mr. Cang Yue sold him to the demon and invited. No one of them had seen a snake man before, but if he added fuel to the fire, the snake man he said was almost in line with.
Of course, these are all rumors. The snake people who attacked Dongping City were just a vanguard, with a small number of people. Shao Fengguan had originally had 20,000 troops in the city, plus the 20,000 reinforcements commanded by the second prince and Lu Gongxing.
It won't be defeated so quickly.
However, when most of the Snake Man attacked, I also knew that the mere 40,000 defenders in Dongping would definitely not do anything big, and at most they could only protect themselves. Over time, if Dongping City was lost, the capital's gateway would be
If the snake man is opened, he will go north in a big way. Wenhou seems to have nothing to do with everything, but he is actually thinking about counterattack all the time. His foresight is far above others.
It seems that Wu Hou is known as a famous general. If you try to use military skills, you may not even be as good as Wen Hou. I looked at Wu Hou, who was full of energy and was also excited.
Xue Wenyi brought forty thunder crossbows, one for each class. Wenhou asked each class to get one and ordered it to practice day and night.
After the prince and Wenhou left, Xue Wen also asked several craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to explain the usage of the thunder crossbow to us. The power of the thunder crossbow shocked everyone, and everyone squeezed into a bunch and listened carefully to the explanation.
Although it is also called "cross crossbow", it is completely different from the previous crossbow. The idea of this arrow box is very different from before. Each time it is fired, there is no need to install arrows one by one, which greatly improves the launch efficiency.
I was looking at the thunder crossbow with the students in this class. At this time, Xue Wenyi came over in a wheelchair and I went up to me and said, "Mr. Xue, you have made a great contribution to this thunder crossbow."
If a crossbow soldiers are trained, the power will be like hundreds of Tan Qing and Jiang Zaixuan, who are like a sharpshooter gathered together, only crossbow arrows are enough, and the snake man is not afraid of it. If Xue Wen is in Gaojiu City
It can also be created, but I am afraid that the snake man may not be able to break the city.
Xue Wenyi sighed and said, "Oh, this is also God's will. In the city, I have already decided to build this crossbow, but it is really difficult to build a crossbow machine. It can only be built with the help of the Ministry of Works with the help of the Jin Mansion and the Fire Mansion. And
, This thunder crossbow is far and not as good as the nearest. If it is forced closer by the enemy, its power will be difficult to exert."
The Thunder Crossbow is too heavy and is not convenient to carry on a small car. I said, "You don't have to think too much about it first, just improve it slowly. By the way, where is Mr. Zhang?"
He smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang is in Tu Mansion now. I heard that he is also stepping up the production of new weapons. I'm afraid it's been in the past few days. General Chu, are you okay now?"
My face sank. Before the prince and Wenhou left, I said, "Can you hear that they have been taken to the harem by the emperor."
Xue Wenyi was stunned for a moment, and could not think of who I was talking about. After a while, he said, "This is also fate."
He looked at the imperial palace in the distance. In the sky, the imperial palace was majestic and magnificent. He sighed and said, "For her, this may not be a good destination. Forget it, General Chu,
A good man is determined by a thousand miles aspirations, so how can a woman ignore the overall situation?”
My heart was filled with pain. Xue Wenyi was right, but I could not do it no matter what. But what if I couldn't forget her? She and I were like a different life.
Xue Wenyi probably didn't want to think of Qin Yanchun again and said, "General Chu, I heard that the second prince fought against Dali in Dongping City. He suffered a big defeat two days ago, which lost thousands of soldiers and half of the warship."
