The First Quarter Moon of Chang'an Chapter 1409: If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your weapons.
Since taking charge of Taiping County, Li Xuan has been continuously improving the weapons of the army.
Taiping City, known as the City of Sin, can be said to be the base of the evil forces. The exiles were killing each other unscrupulously in the city, and the officers and soldiers came to drive them away.
There are too many talented people among the exiled prisoners, and they can obtain sharper weapons than the officers and soldiers.
Li Xuan gathered a group of craftsmen and pointed them in the direction, and then there was a long wait.
This waiting period is very long. As the number of projects increases, a large amount of money and manpower need to be invested every year. Many officials under my command are puzzled by this and feel that such investment is meaningless.
Some even said:
This is overestimating your capabilities!
Li Xuan was silent and did not refute or scold him. He just used his prestige to continuously invest money and food. He knew that in order to achieve a breakthrough, he must first lay a solid foundation.
The key is to improve the toughness of metal, which requires countless experiments. This is the most difficult undertaking that tests one's patience.
The craftsmen tested repeatedly and failed repeatedly. They were happy after achieving some results, but more often they got nothing and spent countless money and food. The craftsmen were ashamed, but Li Xuan was calm and calm, and made it clear: the money and food invested were not enough, and he had no regard for the craftsmen.
The support was not enough! These words shocked the entire northern Xinjiang, but the Chang'an Ministry of Industry scorned them.
When the first Mo Dao came out, everything was worth it. Then came the compact crossbow.
The cavalry can easily inflict a wave of long-range damage to their opponents with this crossbow.
At the same time, taking advantage of the advancement of materials, Li Xuan ordered the craftsmen to improve the standard crossbow. What was the effect... At that time, Li Xuan took the civil and military officials to the school field to watch the test. The original crossbow and the improved crossbow were fired together.
The results delighted military generals.
However, replacing the crossbow required a lot of money and materials. Liu Qing and others gritted their teeth and embezzled a lot of money from other places. As for the iron mines... A group of Northern Liao prisoners who had just been captured did not go to build roads, but went to
The mine.
In this way, the east wall was demolished and the west wall was repaired. Before the army went south, the crossbows in the army were almost replaced. At this moment, the opening...
Damn it! The house is full of joy!
The crossbow array of the rebels was on standby, waiting for a crossbow clash with their opponents to see who could last longer. When they saw the crossbow arrows falling on their own heads, the crossbowmen were dumbfounded.
They looked down at the crossbows in their hands, and then at the general commanding them. The general was also dumbfounded.
Did I measure the distance wrong?
The rebels' distance measurement relied on experience, so the general made another estimate.
He rubbed his eyes, and the rebel crossbows fired a volley in panic.
Then······
Shi Zhongtang and others from the Chinese Army were also watching this wave of arrows. The arrows flew past and landed in the open space.
No, the dozen or so death battalion sergeants who had already rushed out of the array and ran the fastest were shot into hedgehogs. And behind them, further away, was the Northern Xinjiang Army.
In other words, when comparing the range, the rebels are not good enough!
Chunyu's face was ashen,
Some people scolded: The Tang Dynasty did not allow private individuals, and even the border areas were not allowed to make their own crossbows.
He was discovered and treated as treason.
A group of generals were so indignant that they cursed the Chang'an Ministry of Industry bloody.
He Zun said quietly: Uh!
Only then did everyone remember the falling out between Northern Xinjiang and Chang'an in recent years. Since then, Chang'an has cut off all supplies to Northern Xinjiang.
Money, food and weapons!
In other words, these are all sharp weapons produced by Northern Xinjiang through self-reliance. Needless to say, the initiator is
That King of Qin!
But now there is a big problem.
Wei Ming said:
Someone cursed.
Just as one wave of arrows arrived, the second wave came again.
The three-stage shooting shows its power again.
Wei Ming looked at Shi Zhongtang and saw that the crossbow array of the Northern Xinjiang Army could even move forward and continuously extend the strike range.
The rebels' idea of stopping in silence was shattered instantly. Shi Zhongtang waved his hand.
At the sound of the trumpet, the rebels launched a counterattack.
The infantry on both sides ran towards each other and collided heavily. In an instant, the death camp broke through.
He Zun sighed.
What Shi Zhongtang did not say was that the Northern Liao Dynasty became the whetstone for the King of Qin, honing the Northern Xinjiang Army into a formidable force. The rebels were counterattacking, and subsequent infantry continued to surge forward.
The opening was blocked, and he immediately fought back.
Suo Yun limped to the front, slashed one person to death, and shouted: The rebels' counterattack was too fierce. The attack of the death camp was like hitting a rock and being bounced back. This made many people jealous.
Change.
At the critical moment of life and death, these rebels finally burst out with the fierceness in their bones. They wanted to die!
Then let's die together!
Shi Zhongtang is very satisfied with the current situation,
He thought for a moment, and these words described human nature vividly.
He Zun had always been dissatisfied with Shi Zhongtang's morale-boosting methods and felt like a horse thief. But at this moment, he suddenly realized.
Shi Zhongtang looked at him thoughtfully,
He Zun wanted to ask the king why he didn't tell him earlier, but then he thought about it and couldn't help but sigh.
What's the use of saying it already?
On the contrary, it will make his subordinates uneasy.
Shi Zhongtang smiled and said:
He Zun's heart trembled.
Shi Zhongtang suddenly said sarcastically:
He Zun vaguely knew the origin of that person.
He Zun changed color.
Shi Zhongtang suddenly smiled strangely, and He Zun's body trembled.
But then he fled south in embarrassment.
Shi Zhongtang said with a ferocious smile: "
There are two emperors in the Tang Dynasty, one is called the emperor, and the other is called the aristocratic family. If there is no day in the sky, if I become the emperor, I will definitely destroy them."
Kill all the great families!
He Zun said in a trembling voice:
The rich heritage of the aristocratic family is too deep. God knows if there are any people from the aristocratic family among the rebels.
Shi Zhongtang said coldly.
Ahead, screams suddenly broke out. Shi Zhongtang raised his eyes and saw that the death camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army had once again broken through his own formation. Suo Yun's slogan had changed.
Fight bravely, achieve military exploits, and regain your freedom. According to the rules of Northern Xinjiang, those soldiers who regain their freedom will receive fields and houses, and even farm cattle and farm tools are ready-made.
Just bring your bags and check in.
Under this encouragement, the soldiers of the death camp broke out. It doesn't matter whether they die in the battle or not. If you die alone, the whole family will be happy.
For those who died in war, not only can their souls enter the Martyrs' Shrine and enjoy the worship of the soldiers and civilians of Northern Xinjiang, especially His Highness the King of Qin, but their wives and children can also enjoy many benefits. They will receive money and food every month until the children reach the age of eighteen.
The children of those who died in the war were given priority to enter the school. After they were educated, they were given priority in recruitment by the government at all levels. This was the entire Tang Dynasty.
No.
This is a favorable condition that is unparalleled in this world. Therefore, in Northern Xinjiang, everyone is proud to join the army. You go!
Leave the rest to King Qin!
Shi Zhongtang said coldly.
Wave after wave of rebels rushed towards the death camp. Wei Ming said.
He was the first to make this gesture. Shi Zhongtang glanced at him and nodded approvingly. But Wei Ming saw a hint of coldness.
Wei Ming took the initiative to ask for help.
Shi Zhongtang rejected him casually.
Wei Ming kept smiling, but held his right hand tightly. Li Xuan also saw the fatigue of the death camp.
A group of infantrymen emerged from the rebel formation. They held iron sticks in their hands, and when they hit them, they used horizontal knives and long spears as decorations. This was like defeating ten enemies with one force!
Helianyan said:
Han Ji reminded. Li Xuan saw it.
The iron rods of the Lux Battalion were almost invincible in the front. It reminded Li Xuan of the tanks he saw in the scrolls.
The battle situation changed quickly. Before Li Xuan could react, the Hercules Battalion penetrated the death camp array in the middle. There was chaos in the front.
Wei Ming's eyes lit up.
Shi Zhongtang said without hesitation:
Shi Zhongtang's face turned red.
This is the best opportunity since the war began.
Once the hole is widened and the subsequent cavalry rushes in, even if the gods come, Shi Zhongtang dares to drag it down to the mortal world. On the opposite side, King Qin still looks calm,
Following his order, groups of heavily armored infantry slowly walked up with heavy steps.
After receiving the order, the death camp retreated along the middle passage. Suo Yun's face turned red, "I'm going to apologize.
Lan Jian said:
Suoyun turned around and saw the infantry in front meeting the rebel Hercules camp.
The spears stabbed intensively, looking like a hedgehog spitting out its quills angrily. Amidst the pitiful howls, the fierce soldiers of the Lux Battalion fell one after another.
But then the second row of warrior battalions came forward, waving iron rods, and the Northern Xinjiang Army also
A lot of them fell down. This is a mutual explosion!
The competition is about will. Shi Zhongtang stared ahead.
Someone reported.
Shi Zhongtang built the Hercules Camp to deal with the Mo Dao team of the Northern Xinjiang Army. The Mo Dao was sharp, but there was nothing he could do when it encountered an iron rod.
What he didn't expect was that the King of Qin actually used infantrymen wearing heavy armor to fight with his warrior battalion. Mo Daoshou was hiding behind, and once the warrior battalion showed signs of fatigue...
