"Your Majesty, Qin Qiong thinks it is absolutely not possible."
"Seventy thousand to eighty thousand horse troops, this number is too small!"
Not only Qin Qiong, but also Yuchi Gong, immediately rejected it.
This rejection is completely reflexive, and they cannot agree to this matter based on their professionalism or conscience.
If necessary, if the war is fierce and dangerous, they are not even afraid to die like Bai Qi.
However... the reactions of these two people were not beyond Li Er and Li Jing's expectations.
Not only did he not frown at all, but he laughed.
"Uh, Your Majesty, Medicine Master, why are you laughing?"
"This... Your Majesty, General Pharmacist, what are you..."
"General Qin, General Yuchi, you are right. But... what if we add this to the 70,000 to 80,000 troops?"
"With this thing, it's not too late for you to decide whether it's elite enough!"
With that said, Li Jing took out a booklet.
This booklet is exactly the design of the Divine Arm Bow!
Qin Qiong took the design drawing and looked at it with Yu Chigong.
Li Jing's statement made them both confused. What kind of magical weapon can enable 70,000 to 80,000 troops to defeat an army of hundreds of thousands?
Even elites have to follow the Basic Law. Isn’t this a joke...
But when the two of them looked at this booklet, they couldn't help but say "Huh?" at the same time...
…
After a while, I finished reading the booklet.
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong looked at each other, dumbfounded.
Then, he looked at Li Er and Li Jing at the same time...
"Your Majesty, where did you find this...this booklet? This is obviously...a divine weapon!"
"That's outrageous. I, Old Demon Yuchi, can shoot a bow with a weight of seven or eight stones. Who can beat this!"
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong were both brave generals skilled in bow and horse.
Naturally, we know how terrifying a crossbow that can make arrows two or three times more powerful is.
And the things in this booklet...
Not only is it extremely powerful, but the principles are also clearly written and can be understood at a glance.
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong are simply incredible, where did this thing come from??
If this thing gets to the Turks, I'm afraid the Tang Dynasty...
"Your Majesty, this..."
"What exactly is this thing..."
"Hahahahahaha..." Li Er burst out laughing. He knew that Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong would react like this!
Li Jing couldn't help but laugh. Today's scene is so similar to the scene in the village outside Youzhou City!
Li Er smiled and said, "Generals, you don't have to ask this now. I'll just ask you for a conclusion."
"Is it enough to save money and food by laying off hundreds of thousands of troops and build an invincible army of 100,000 men?"
"This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, it's hard to call it invincible."
"With the money and food, plus this thing... the entire army is equipped, is it enough to build it?"
"His Majesty……"
Qin Qiong took a deep breath, looked at Li Er and then at Li Jing, and finally said slowly.
"I have no objection. If the army of 100,000 is really turned into a black armor army, it can also be equipped with this magical crossbow... Let alone one Turk or two more Turks in this army of 100,000 are not enough to fight!
"
Li Er laughed loudly, and Li Jing poured drinks for everyone.
Raise your glass and drink it all!
…
After the private meeting, Li Er personally took Qin Qiong to the military camp.
A few days after meeting Li Sheng, Li Er actually ordered someone to trial-produce an experimental product.
Today I had a meeting with Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, firstly to get some fresh air, and secondly to let them experience the power of the new crossbow.
Li Er himself actually tried it as soon as he bought it.
His bow and horse were no weaker than those of Qin Qiong and the others, and he felt extremely satisfied.
Qin Qiong and others' hearts were beating fast. In order to compete to be the first general to try out the divine arm bow, they almost got into a fight in the military camp, attracting countless soldiers to watch.
Seeing that the Shangguan officers had nothing to practice, these Xuanjia soldiers were naturally full of cheers and cheers during the break. They asked Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong to make a bet that whoever came first would get one test shot each.
Wouldn't it be more meaningful to directly reward the winner with the Divine Arm Bow than to have a false reputation for being brave and fighting spirit?
Because of the strange shape of the Divine Arm Bow, many soldiers were very curious about it.
There were no activities and no military discipline on that day, so everyone was talking about this and what kind of crossbow it was.
Of course, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong are both star generals in the Xuanjia Army. The bet between these two people is much more interesting than the crossbow itself, so most of the attention is still focused on Qin Qiong.
but……
Until the moment Qin Qiong drew the crossbow and shot the arrow.
Everyone was shocked.
The powerful arrow tore through the air instantly with a strange whimpering sound.
The extremely dangerous and fierce wind blew across everyone's face like a knife.
Before everyone had time to react,
Since it's an archery bet, why isn't there even a target?
The next moment... I saw the flagpole in the distance of the school field, and it was hit hard by Qin Qiong's arrow.
Bang!
There was a loud, crisp sound, and the flagpole as thick as a bowl fell directly to the ground!
All the soldiers were dumbfounded, this...
"I am a young girl..."
"I'm sorry for you..."
"I'm so convinced. Where did these superior officers find such hard bows?"
"I'm afraid there are five stones!"
"Nonsense, this is at least six stones!"
"Oh my God!"
The whole place was silent for a long time, and in the entire huge school ground, there were only the sounds of wide-mouthed gasps and sleepwalking murmurs...
Li Er looked at the scene in front of him with extremely sharp eyes.
Qin Qiong, Yu Chi Gong are all fierce generals, and it is not a problem to shoot an arrow with five or six stones.
Most soldiers are not so strong and brave, and they probably only have three stones.
But even three stones is definitely an exaggerated number.
Because of this era, this era without any arrogance,
Whether they were soldiers of the Tang Dynasty or Turks.
In the army of the world, the vast majority of the soldiers can draw less than one stone with their bows and arrows!
The Tang Dynasty now has an army of 100,000 divine arm bows.
With this fighting power, let alone fight against the Huns.
It won't be a problem to recreate the glory of the Western Han Dynasty and defeat all enemies in the world!
Li Er's heart was beating faster than these ordinary soldiers.
My Sheng'er is awesome!
…
After leaving the military camp, Li Er did not arrange for disarmament for the time being. Instead, he decided to overdraw the budget of the treasury's medium pressure box and mass-produce the Divine Arm Bow first.
There is nothing that can be done about this, because Li Er cannot directly dismantle his army and start producing divine arm bows.
Otherwise, the arms and bows of God have not yet been deployed, and the disarmament has already been disarmed. If something happens at this time, the devil will be able to withstand it.
Of course, there are always some risks when the treasury spends so much money at once.
There are times when troops are suddenly needed, and of course there are times when money is suddenly needed.
But Li Er still did it.
There are mainly two reasons.
First of all, the Divine Arm Bow is not mass-produced at one time, but is manufactured in batches, with 20,000 pieces per month being handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
So it doesn’t cost that much at one time.
second……
Naturally, it was another important matter for Li Shimin, almost as important as the elite reform of the Xuanjia Army.
