I’m The King

Zhang said that it was the official who was handed over by Lu Chao's superintendent and Tan Feng, while Zhong Mei was the general of the Black Ice Platform. Zhong Mei's presence here was naturally because he wanted to take Ji Maus back to Xianyang. Ji Ling was taken down quickly. After squeezing into a carriage, there was no sound in an instant.As the carriage walked through the courtyard in the rainy night, only a few people and Tan Feng were left in the county office. Zhang said.

"Master Zhang, you said that you would guarantee the safety of the king!" Tan Feng said, looking at Zhang who remained.

Zhang said with a smile and said: "That's natural. Master Tan, you worry too much. As far as we are concerned, King Yan is now a strange thing to live in. With him, after we destroy Wei, we can conquer Gaoyuan in an honest and open manner, whether it is Zhao. , Or Chu, can't tell me anything, right? Because we are going to restore the country for King Yan!"

The faces of several people in the house were very brilliant. The Qin people dominate the world, and everyone knows that, under this excuse, I am afraid that even a three-year-old child will not believe it, but as long as Ji Maing stays in Xianyang, who can object and say no? !

"Before King Yan arrives in Xianyang, we need to keep this matter absolutely confidential." Zhang said to Tan Feng: "We don't want any accidents on the road, no matter whether it is high-level or Zhao, it will not. I would love to see Ji Maal appear in Xianyang. If he died halfway above, then he would fall short."

"In Quwo, we are ready to find a stand-in. In the coming days, he will appear frequently in public, but the protection work along the way will be the responsibility of your Black Ice Platform. ." Tan Feng said.

"That's natural. You have to do enough here. General Lu is preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Wei Guo, and there are not many troops on hand. It can only be secretly escorted by the Black Ice Platform, and you know that , The Gaoyuan Supervisory Institute and Zhao Ren’s Tiger and Leopard Riders are not vegetarians. If you can hide it longer, it will be more conducive to our return.” Zhang said.

A trace of surprise flashed in Tan Feng's eyes, and he glanced at Zhou Yu, and saw the expressions of the two of them, and Zhang said and spread their hands. "Are they wondering if General Lu had agreed to immediately launch an offensive against Wei. Delayed?"

"It is precisely that, according to our agreement with General Lu, with us as an internal response, General Lu will quickly launch an attack on Wei State, pulling out the four strongholds of the Wei army other than Daliang, and opening up the road to Daliang." Tan Feng said. .

"It's true that the two generals were so prepared, but now there is a little trouble. Our army has some problems with the supply of food and grass. For the sake of safety, General Lu can only postpone this attack. I hope that the few can understand. As soon as our army’s food and grass supply returns to normal, the offensive will begin." Zhang said.

Listening to what Zhang said, Tan Feng and Zhou Yu were just a little frightened. Lu Chao was a person who made a plan and then moved. Now there is such a problem. I am afraid that the problem they encountered is far from Zhang said. Speak so easily.

Ji Ling gradually came to the end of his life, and the lofty that made him hate gritted his teeth, but he was stepping into the fast lane of life. While Ji Ma was escorted to the Xianshi by the secret of the Black Ice Platform, the newly married Yaner’s lofty, and Not nostalgic in the beauty's fragrant boudoir, but appeared in the military workshop of Jishi City.

The huge stone city is divided into multiple districts, and the military workshop is undoubtedly the largest of these districts. Here, the largest military workshop of the Eastern Army is concentrated, and the Eastern Army is rampant on the battlefield. The weapon is continuously manufactured from here and then shipped out.

The military workshop is divided into two different areas. One is the living area, where military craftsmen and their families live mainly. In this area, it is extremely difficult for the foreign population to enter. The shops inside are all It is a shopkeeper operated and operated by Sihai Business. The guys are also the families of retired soldiers or military craftsmen. This area is also the subject of key monitoring by the Supervisory Institute. The weapons of the East Army have always been ahead of all countries on the mainland. It has also aroused the coveting of these countries, spying on the secrets of the military production of the Eastern Army, and it is also one of the pieces of information that spies from all over the world want to inquire.

The production area where the workshops are concentrated is even more heavily guarded.Even the families of the craftsmen cannot step into this area.

Standing high in front of a crossbow, there was a look of wonder in his eyes. This is a crossbow. Now the long-range strike weapons used by the Eastern Army are mainly arm crossbows and bed crossbows. The shooting speed of bed crossbows is slow. In the Eastern Expeditionary Army, it has gradually been on the verge of being eliminated, because troops like the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which are mainly offensive and mainly engaged in field operations, carry heavy weapons such as bed crossbows with the army, which is really inconvenient. The Expeditionary Army used bed crossbows only in certain battles and city defenses.The arm crossbows were more popular with soldiers because of their convenient carrying, long range, and strong strength.

The open-arm crossbow is the standard equipment of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. It does not require the soldiers to have superb shooting skills. It is purely covering shooting. A soldier can skillfully use it in two or three days of training. Now in the Eastern Army, ordinary use There are basically no other troops for the longbow people except the Huns and Donghu people.Compared with the time it takes to train a clever archer, it is undoubtedly more cost-effective to train the arms to stretch the crossbow.

The crossbow machine displayed in front of Gaoyuan is about one person high, and it is divided into two large parts. The bottom is the base, and the upper part is the movable crossbow machine that can move left and right up and down. People get chills in their hearts.

"Awesome crossbow!" Looking at the thing in front of him, Gao Yuan blurted out. He reached out his hand to touch this cold killing machine, but he was full of emotions in his heart. Is it finally out? The bed crossbow is inconvenient to carry, and Gao Yuan has always wanted to improve. This kind of long-range weapon, the last time Gao Yuan inspected the workshop, during a meeting with the old craftsman, Gao Yuan talked about the concept of a continuous crossbow machine. It seems that the crossbow machine should have appeared in the Song Dynasty, with a range of more than a thousand steps, which is extremely powerful. In other words, I did not expect that these craftsmen actually figured it out.

Looking back at the chief of the workshop, "Have you tried it?"

"The governor of Huidu has done many tests. The Shenji crossbow shoots 60 crossbow arrows each time, with a range of up to 1,000 steps, and an effective killing radius of 600 steps." The principal, He Jingzhi, respectfully said.

"Who came up with this magic crossbow that can rotate in all directions?" Gao Yuan smiled and grabbed a handle protruding from the left side of the magic crossbow. With a little force, he turned the magic crossbow half a circle to see. The crossbow arrow that was flashing blue was aimed at him, and the accompanying persons in that area took a half step back in horror.

"It was a young craftsman who came up with it. After the governor put forward the idea of ​​the **** machine crossbow a year ago, we have been experimenting. At the beginning of this year, the first prototype was produced, but the shooting direction was fixed. Later, a craftsman asked whether The upper and lower parts of this **** machine crossbow are manufactured separately, and then connected, the lower part is fixed, and the upper part can move freely. In this way, during the battle, it is not restricted by the direction and can freely shoot the enemy in any direction. I thought that this idea was very good, so I added this idea on my own initiative. This is the improved prototype."

"Multiple?" Gao Yuan asked. This is a key issue. The bed crossbow has a slow firing speed and is too heavy to carry with the army. If the magic crossbow is too heavy, it is also a problem.

"It's not heavy, it's not heavy!" He Jingfang hurriedly said: "The whole crossbow weighs less than three hundred catties. After the upper and lower parts are disassembled, the upper part weighs about 100 catties, and the lower part weighs about 150 catties. Only four soldiers can easily take away a magic crossbow."

"Didn't you mean three hundred catties?" Gao Yuan glanced at the principal strangely.

"Supervisor, please take a look!" He Jingzhi walked to the crossbow of Shenji, and stretched out his hand to press and pull on the upper part, and a cylinder retreated from the crossbow. "Supervisor, the speed of fire of Shenji crossbow is fast. Ten crossbow arrows, but there is also a problem. It takes a long time to re-install after the firing is completed. Therefore, the craftsmen have worked hard to design this kind of launching barrel and put the crossbow arrow in advance. Once installed, after one launch, you only need to install the quiver, and you can launch it again. It takes very little time."

"Wonderful!" Gao Yuan applauded and laughed. "Master He, you are a good manager of this business, and you can live up to your expectations. Let's try the power of this superb crossbow."

Four craftsmen stepped forward and swiftly dismantled the sacred crossbow into two parts. The quiver inside was also removed one by one. The two carried the fuselage, and the remaining craftsmen carried the quiver. , Followed by Gao Yuan and his group, arrived at the martial arts field.

The crossbow machine was installed, and on the other side of the martial arts field, wooden stakes in armor had already been erected.

"The governor, the martial arts field is limited, only 300 steps away, but the range of this magic crossbow, our workshop has been secretly verified in the wild, within 600 steps, no one can stop it." He Jingzhidao.

"I'll try it!" Gao Yuan rolled up his sleeves and walked to the front of the crossbow. He turned the upper part of the crossbow left and right. It felt very light and nodded. "Yes."

Facing the front row of targets, Gao Yuan took aim slightly, pulled the rope violently, and the buzzing sound immediately sounded. The entire crossbow machine slammed backwards, and sixty crossbow arrows leaped forward like a dark cloud. After a tumult, none of the armored wooden stakes standing in front of the three hundred steps were still standing, and all were shot to the ground. Gao Yuan let go and took a step back, and the four craftsmen on the side immediately rushed forward and exited. For the empty quiver, it takes only a few breaths to install the other quiver. Turning the crossbow at a high distance, aiming at another target on the left, pulling the rope again, there is another whistling sound , And all the targets on the left fell to the ground.

"Come here!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, and He Weiyuan immediately led his guards to the messy place and picked up a few that were relatively intact.

"Captain, most of them were shot to pieces. Here are a few that are still intact."

Looking at the armored pile that He Weiyuan was holding in front of him, a crossbow arrow was inserted deeply, and there were spider web cracks around it.This armor was produced by the Eastern Army and compared with other countries on this continent. The quality is much better, even it is vulnerable, and the rest can be imagined.

If you encounter such a sharp weapon in a large-scale confrontation, you can imagine the end. With the arrival of Gao Yuan, He Lanxiong, Xu Yuan, Ye Zhong and others all have their faces changed. They are all important generals. At this time, what I was thinking about was how to deal with such a weapon if one's own troops encountered it. (To be continued)
