Ligong is not only a palace, but also a military fortress. It is located in the north of Xianyang. When Yiqu was not destroyed, Ligong served as an important place to defend the north of Xianyang and once stocked 3,000 soldiers and horses.
However, with the destruction of Yiqu, the palace also lost its military value. In addition, it was built for war and was far inferior to other palaces in terms of comfort. As a result, the palace quickly declined.
Today's Li Gong has completely lost its shadow in Qin's power territory.
But in the past year, the palace has changed and once again became a military camp, and thunder can be heard from time to time.
Fortunately, there were no other people within fifty miles of the palace, so it didn't cause any unnecessary trouble.
On this day, a group of cavalry galloped from the south and entered the palace.
"Gongshuqiu pays homage to the king." As the top leader of the Li Palace, Gongshuqiu hurriedly emerged from the machinery and equipment.
"Mr. Gongshu, has the Hundred War God's Crossbow been completed?" Ying Zheng asked directly without bothering to exchange greetings with Gongshu Chou.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it has been completed." Gongshu Qiu heard this and quickly replied.
"Okay, take Gu Gu to have a look." Ying Zheng said.
"Yes." Gongshu Chou heard this and did not dare to delay. He quickly led Ying Zheng to a school outside the palace.
Not long after, Ying Zheng finally saw the Hundred God of War machine crossbow that he had been waiting for for so long.
Three huge bed crossbows were placed in front of them one after another.
In Ying Zheng's sight, Gong Shuqiu personally operated, loading a huge crossbow arrow into the crossbow trench, turning the wheel, and with the dull sound of gear rotation, the crossbow string slowly opened until it reached its limit.
"Your Majesty, the maximum range of this crossbow can reach 1,300 feet." Gong Shuqiu said and pressed the machine button heavily.
With a loud explosion, the thick and long crossbow arrow instantly turned into an afterimage, piercing the sky. Then, in the open space thousands of steps away, there were bursts of explosions like thunder.
Ying Zheng looked around and saw countless scarecrows in leather armor standing there, one by one, lying dead on the spot, and there were "severe limbs and broken arms" everywhere.
"Your Majesty, please come with me to check it out before you know its true power." Gong Shuqiu said proudly.
"No need, Gu has already seen clearly." Ying Zheng said.
"Can you see clearly?" Gong Shuqiu couldn't help but was slightly startled. This is a distance of 1,300 feet. Seeing it is almost the limit of one's vision. And seeing clearly is simply not something that one person can do.
.
But facing Ying Zheng's words, Gong Shuqiu didn't dare to question it at all, but the smug smile on his face became a little stiff.
"Your Majesty, one crossbow arrow can kill within twenty steps and kill within fifty steps, and if thousands of arrows are fired at once, their explosions will enhance each other's power, and the effect will be even more terrifying." Gong Shuqiu added next to him.
road.
"I know that one crossbow arrow can only hurt people with small arrows, but ten thousand crossbow arrows can kill people with sound waves." Ying Zheng nodded.
"Exactly." Gong Shuqiu nodded, but he felt a little depressed in his heart. In front of Ying Zheng, his desire for expression could not be used at all.
"How many of the Hundred War God's Crossbows can be made within three months?" Ying Zheng said.
"Three months, if there are sufficient resources, it will be enough to produce thousands of Hundred Gods of War machine crossbows. However, Your Majesty, although the technology of the Hundred Gods of War machine crossbows is complex, the real difficulty is the crossbow arrows. Each of the Hundred Gods of War machine crossbows
It is necessary to equip hundreds of crossbow arrows, but within three months, one hundred thousand crossbow arrows cannot be made." Gongshu Qiu said.
Gu Shen
"Thousands of war-god machine crossbows? Crossbow arrows..." Ying Zheng thought.
"We will make one thousand Hundred God of War machine crossbows within three months. As for the crossbow arrows, we can make as many as we can," Ying Zheng said.
"Yes, your Majesty, you can rest assured. Although we cannot make one hundred thousand crossbow arrows within three months, there is still no problem with fifty thousand crossbow arrows." Gong Shuqiu assured.
"Fifty thousand? That's enough." Ying Zheng said.
In a big battle, let alone 50,000 arrows, even if there were only 10,000 arrows, it would be ten rounds of arrows, enough to determine the outcome of a war.
"Your Majesty, the disciples of the Yin Yang Family are also responsible for the successful completion of the Hundred War God's Crossbow." Gong Shuqiu thought for a moment and then said.
The various technologies involved in the Hundred Wars God's Crossbow are not considered top-notch technologies for Gongshuqi. There is only one thing that even Gongshuqi cannot do, and that is gunpowder.
After seeing the new way of using gunpowder, Gongshu Qiu already had new ideas in his mind about the application of mechanism technique. However, whether his ideas can be seen, gunpowder technique is the key.
Therefore, at this time, he did not mind selling a favor to the disciples of the Yin-Yang family, and at the same time, it was also to allow Ying Zheng to take the disciples of the Yin-Yang family seriously, so that his cooperation with the Yin-Yang family could develop further.
"Who is the Jin disciple of the Yin Yang family?" Ying Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Reporting to your Majesty, my surname is Xu and Fu." Gong Shuqiu replied.
"It's gone for now." Ying Zheng said.
······
While Xianyang was preparing for war, Suiyang, the capital of Chu State thousands of miles away, was also making preparations at this time.
In Chunshenjun Huang Xie's mansion, as the master, Chunshenjun Huang Xie is now over sixty years old. His genteel demeanor has been almost worn away by the years. Now he is the Ling Yin of Chu State.
In Chu State, Chunshen Lord Huang Xie, who can be said to be truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, is personally accompanying the guests at this time, just because the guests who appear here at this time are too important.
They are Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling of Wei State, Pang Nuan, General of Zhao State, Kaifangdi, the Prime Minister of South Korea, and Yan Dan, Prince of Yan State.
"Everyone, something big has happened. Next, we need to discuss how many troops each country has sent." Huang Xie, who was sitting in the main seat, looked around at the people in the hall and said.
"We, the State of Wei, have not yet recovered from the great defeat the year before last. We are willing to send 100,000 troops, of which 50,000 will attack Qin's East County, and the other 50,000 will join the coalition forces of other countries to attack Qin's Guanzhong." Wei Wuji, as the initiator, said.
"We, the State of Zhao, can send 150,000 troops, 50,000 to Taihang to contain Qin's Pingyang heavy-armored troops in Taiyuan County, and 100,000 to join the coalition forces of other countries to attack Qin." Pang Nuan, the general of Zhao State who is responsible for the coalition's combat power, followed closely.
Then he said.
"South Korea is a small country with few people, so it can send out 50,000 armored soldiers." Kaichang said when he saw everyone looking at him.
This was the number he had discussed with Han Wangan and Ji Wuye before leaving South Korea.
"Yes." After hearing Kaifangdi's words, everyone nodded.
"Our country, Yan, can produce one hundred thousand elites." Yan Dan said when he saw that others had expressed their opinions.
"Our Chu State can send 200,000 troops. In this way, we can combine 600,000 troops, of which 100,000 will be used to advance the Qin army outside Hangu Pass, and 500,000 troops will go straight to Hangu Pass and fight decisively in the Qin Pass.
