I Built a Territory in Ancient Times - Chapter 197
It is used by people, from which we can know that the production should not be easy. “Song Lian thought.
Chachaqi snorted coldly and said, “When we break through Shi Chongguan, we will take over King Duan’s old nest, and then let the people from the craftsman make these things for us.”
Speaking of Duanwanglai, they have never heard of them, and now I think about it because of the epidemic, they dare not come back. Otherwise, the situation in the border areas would be tense, and Duan Wang, the lord of Liangzhou, would have to come back. Maybe they will all catch the disease, and none of them will stay, hahaha!
The author has something to say: Knowing that you are in a hurry, Song Lian is about to get the lunch. Afraid of being scolded, I will reveal it here, hahaha! Thank you to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution during 2021-03-16 15:08:47~2021-03-17 14:04:12~
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: Lan Lanzi does not eat 3 bottles of fish;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
159 Chapter 159
The next day, the sky was twilight, and the army of the barbarians outside the pass had already assembled.
General Wei hadn’t slept all night, anxiously watching the people in the craftsman’s workshop working on the trebuchets, Huang Lao couldn’t support his spirit, and took a nap on the reclining chair on the side. Don’t ask too much, just let the people below fiddle around there.
General Wei is very anxious, just because Huang Lao said yesterday that he can basically fiddle with it all night. But what about now? Except for a large pile of wood and iron parts on the ground, the prototype of the trebuchet has not been seen.
Seeing that the enemy was about to launch an attack, these people were still taking measurements with a ruler. From time to time, someone wrote something on the paper with a pen, or three or five people were discussing something.
He finally couldn’t bear it anymore, not wanting to disturb other people who were busy, so he had to walk up to Huang Lao in two or three steps, “Huang Lao, the Yi people are already ready, why are you still not a shadow of this trebuchet. One?” If he knew this was the case, he should have stood firm and never let them dismantle.
At this time, Huang Lao couldn’t really fall asleep. He just closed his eyes and rested his mind. At this time, he waved his hand and said, “What’s the panic? Isn’t there a pile on the ground?”
The pieces of wood scattered on the ground really have nothing to do with the trebuchet. General Wei’s face turned dark, and he couldn’t talk to Huang Lao, so Huang Lao shook his head, stretched his waist, and then reached out and beckoned a craftsman to come over, “Why haven’t you done it yet? It’s not enough time. It took so long for such a simple thing to get negative points after going back?”
The man smiled and said, “There are mainly two interns who made a mistake in the symbols. We have changed it according to the comparison. Now that the calculation is correct, it can be installed and integrated immediately.”
Huang Lao nodded, “Okay, I’ll give you half an hour. Is it okay to assemble these catapults?”
The man replied quickly, “No problem.”
Only then did Mr. Huang look at General Wei, “Did you hear that? Half an hour.”
General Wei did hear it. He could see the new trebuchet in half an hour. Why is it so unreliable? However, he still waited for half an hour, as long as he didn’t delay the big thing, it would be fine. He wanted to see how these people did it.
The man agreed to turn around and said a few words to the others. Everyone nodded and started to get busy. They began to divide and cooperate, using assorted woods and parts on the ground, splicing them one by one. Under their hands, it didn’t take long to assemble a brand-new catapult.
The more General Wei looked, the more surprised he became. In less than an hour, five trebuchets were in front of him. In fact, it is simple to say, just like an assembly line, each part is split to make exactly the same parts, and then it can be assembled anytime, anywhere. In this way, it saves time and effort, and it is convenient to use and transport.
General Wei rushed forward and touched the already formed trebuchet with his hand. It was larger than the previous one. Although the shape did not change, there were some more tricks.
Huang Lao walked over slowly, checked around and nodded, “Not bad.”
After finishing speaking, he said to General Wei: “This is an improved catapult, with a scope and a special machine bracket. Get the catapult, and our people can demonstrate it and let them see how to operate it several times. Naturally it will.”
Although I don’t know what scope, what machine bracket and so on. However, he still believed what Huang Lao had said, and quickly asked people to find the slinger.
Their men talked to the catapults, explaining how the new catapults were different from the old ones, and what was the use of the parts in various places.
To sum up, the new trebuchet has a long projection distance and can be aimed at, which means that as long as the machine is properly adjusted, it can hit a hundred targets. And the biggest change is that it used to require several people to operate, but now it can be easily projected with only one or two people.
All the onlookers couldn’t help but look at the effect, and the barbarian drums outside the gate were already sounding, and all the soldiers began to act.
General Wei was worried that Huang Lao and others would be damaged, and wanted someone to **** them back, but Huang Lao shook his head and insisted on staying here.
General Wei couldn’t, so he could only send more people to protect him, but Huang Lao stopped him and went directly to the trebuchet. Someone even took out a pen and paper and recorded the data on the side.
Put the cobblestone in the catapult, aim the catapult to locate it, and then fire it, and the round rock falls into the enemy’s army. This is not over yet, with the strength, and rolling out a long distance, the enemy army has no time to avoid, alas.
The effect was much better than before. General Wei was overjoyed when he saw the result. In this way, their hope of keeping the customs is even greater.
The lord handed over the border to him because he believed in him, and he must not let the lord disappointed. When he is still waiting for the prince to come back, can he bring back the good news?
After a few rounds of stone throwing, the enemy’s offensive slowed down a little, and the art of warfare had a boost, and then declined again. Seeing that the enemy’s offensive was slowing down, one was declining and the other was growing, Dayan’s soldiers were all excited, and their archery was more vigorous.
After observing for a while, Huang Lao nodded with satisfaction. They made this trebuchet, and they have only tried it a few times on the experimental site. The power effect is definitely not as shocking as the one seen on the spot.
Huang Lao’s eyes fell on the black iron ball they brought, and he rubbed his hands excitedly, his beard was up and down, and he made a loud gesture to his subordinates.
This is their top priority here. Now that the trebuchet has stable performance and looks good, it is perfect to experiment with this large thunderbolt.
General Wei has long been in doubt, but it is not appropriate to say more at this time. They had already negotiated when they came. General Wei was not allowed to intervene in their experiments, so they could only let Huang Lao and the others fool the arrangements.
Then, the thunderbolt replaced the cobblestone and was put on the catapult, and the person who recorded it carefully observed and recorded the data. Huang Lao was also a little nervous. Everyone in the craftsmanship looked solemn, and they didn’t dare to let out the air.
“Ignition!” Huang Lao gave an order, someone had already set the fuse on fire, and then Huang Lao waved, and the slinger started the machine. Like the previous cobblestone, the thunderbolt flew out high and landed with a bang, and the fire burst. This momentum shocked everyone, what the **** is this?
The smoke gradually dissipated, and the dark thunderbolt had long since disappeared. Instead, there was a big deep pit, and in the foggy enemy camp, it seemed that a hole had been cracked, and there was no life on it, leaving only the land of scorched fireworks.
Tuoba Ren’s face was ashen, looking at this scene, as if he saw the mysterious thing that Ming Yu and the others used when they were in Xiqi Mountain. It’s just that this one has greater power, wider damage range, and stronger destructive power than before.
The soldiers were wailing and screaming, and they were stunned for a long time.
“My lord, hurry up and call Jin to withdraw the troops, and then come down and discuss the solution.” Song Lian was also extremely shocked in her heart, and hurriedly said.
Tuoba Ren’s fingers trembled. After hearing this, even if he didn’t want to, he could only order the army to withdraw.
He didn’t expect that the hope he saw just yesterday would be ruthlessly destroyed today. What exactly is this? How did Dayan get it? How many do they have? These questions swirled in Tuoba Ren’s mind, no! He must not concede defeat, be defeated without knowing it.
The army of the barbarians retreated like a tide, and the soldiers at Shi Chongguan couldn’t help cheering: Dayan is mighty! Dayan mighty!
General Wei has recovered from his stupor. If he hadn’t taken into account his identity as General Dayan, he would have already jumped up and down with joy.
“Great! This thunderbolt is so good! With it, why should we be afraid of barbarians! Hahaha!”
Huang Lao was supervising the people below to record the data. At this time, when he heard the words, he raised his head, gave him a cool look, and poured cold water: “Don’t be too happy, this thing, we did our best to make so many things. One. Do you think this is the cabbage on the street? Is it that easy to produce?”
This made General Wei calm down, looking at the few remaining thunderbolts, he could count them with one hand. The flying heart fell to the ground with a snap, and it was impossible to pick it up.
General Wei grimaced, “Old Huang, look. Can’t you prepare more?”
Huang Lao shook his head, “Why is it so easy, not to mention the precision of making this thing, the materials used alone are very difficult.”
This time General Wei has nothing to say, it seems that he can save some use!
