I really don't want to lose the country

Chapter 761 Mozi's New Weapon
"Chu Yue, hey, just wait, you're a little too young to plot against me, Da Zhou!"

Ye Qing looked towards the east, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his heart became more heroic.

With a strong army in hand, I have the world.

The matter of Dawushan is over for a while, Dazhou has the advantage of going eastward along the river, and the next step is to capture Jiangling and swallow Jingzhou.

This strategy is completed, and there is no obstacle at all to the east.

The Kanto area is full of fertile soil for the future of the Great Zhou.

Da Zhou will go to a higher level.

Become a juggernaut.

"Go down the passage, let's go home."

"go home!"

Everyone couldn't wait any longer.

Soon everyone returned to Chang'an.

After staying in the southwest for so long, many changes have taken place in Dazhou.

Multiple sections have been repaired.

Hardened road, wide and flat.

From Chang'an to the states and counties.

Especially the Ministry of Industry, after research and development, invented many powerful ordnance.

Ye Qing went to inspect in person.

"Your Majesty, based on the principle of Liannu, we expanded it and invented Painu.

The platoon crossbow adopts a crossbow body with a crossbow structure, and the width is about the same.However, the rear crossbow strings have been strengthened and crossbow slots have been added. Mozi pointed to a row of slaves and said:

"Nine to twelve crossbows can be placed here at the same time for covering shooting!"

Seeing it, Ye Qing was somewhat satisfied, and asked, "What about the range?"

"Your Majesty, the shooting range must be a little short, and it can only be used for short- and medium-range defense. After all, increasing the number of crossbow bolts will weaken the strength!" Mozi explained.

Short and medium distances are also good, for city defense or close-range field battles.

Pai crossbow still has a powerful deterrent force.

Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "I'll give you a plan, can you upgrade it to a honeycomb shape and shoot [-] to [-] shots at a time.

Even more than a hundred arrows.

Not necessarily limited to crossbows, but also bow arrows. "

Silk.

Twenty to fifty, more than one hundred.

Honeycomb type, if this is a launch, what kind of shot will the opposite person have to make.

How terrifying!

Your Majesty still has an idea.

If this kind of weapon is made, darling, it will be amazing.

"Theoretically, it is feasible, but your Majesty, I have not thought of anything that can help. After all, it is made into a honeycomb shape, so we can't use the original method to provide assistance." of.

Help!

The first thing Ye Qing thought of was gunpowder.

The second is the clockwork spring.

He didn't understand gunpowder, so he didn't dare to let people develop it easily.

Because that thing is a Pandora's box.

When you bury others, you can also bury yourself.

Ye Qing said with a smile: "It's nothing, you can think about it slowly, if it doesn't work, use the shock-absorbing things like trains and carriages instead."

"It's Your Majesty, I'm going back to make sure Qiang Xing concentrates on thinking about it." Mo Zi didn't get entangled in this problem, and continued to walk forward with Ye Qing.

Then he pointed to another large crossbow-like crossbow and said: "Your Majesty, this is a god-armed crossbow. It is used by one person. It is slightly larger than the continuous crossbow, but it shoots super far.

Compared with the shooting distance that can reach the bed crossbow, although its power is weaker, it is more flexible and can be equipped for military use on a large scale. "

Divine arm crossbow, individual combat weapon.

Although it is a single-shot crossbow, it can be shot far and accurate.

Can be flexibly scheduled.

What this means, Ye Qing is too clear.

The battlefield environment is complex and changeable, and sometimes the battle changes suddenly.

Even crossbows and trebuchets, although there are also assembled types.

But there are a lot of restrictions on the fun after all.

If you split it several times, the failure rate is high.

Therefore, the god arm crossbow makes up for this shortcoming when marching and fighting.

"That's right, find ten soldiers to wipe and shoot, and I'll see the effect!"

"promise!"

The test results came out soon.

The effect is exactly as Mozi said.

Very nice.

Ye Qing waved his hand and said:

"Let the Ordnance Department produce and manufacture, with [-] as the first batch, and distribute it to each army. If the use of the army is good, then build up to [-]!"

One hundred thousand, is this going to replace the Liannu?

Repeating crossbows are widely used in short bursts.

In the case of more and more long-range weapons, except for cavalry, they will be equipped in large quantities.

Pawns are bound to reduce equipment.

The god arm crossbow just makes up for the shortcomings of the infantry's combat effectiveness.

"It's Your Majesty!"

Mozi then introduced some new inventions.

Or ordnance or other auxiliary battlefield.

Finally came to a large room.

The people from the Ministry of Industry pushed a big guy out.

Only then did Ye Qing and the others see that a big guy six to eight times larger than a traditional trebuchet was pushed out.

There are pulleys below.

The ground is concrete, so it is quite easy to move.

However, more than a dozen people are still needed to help.

Because this trebuchet, or should be called a return cannon.

It still uses the principle of leverage.

But the method of loading the stone bombs, as well as the frame bones are different.

And this time the cannon is returned with a semi-steel structure.

There is also a shock absorber, and four right telescopically deployed legs that fix the barrel.

It looks a bit like the base of a later howitzer.

Not to mention the others, even Ye Qing was surprised.

Mozi actually made such a big return cannon quietly.

If this is a stone bomb, it will really shake the world.

"Your Majesty, this is our improved and enlarged trebuchet, but because the loading position is made into a square opening in the shape of a Chinese character back, I named it the Huihui Cannon." Mozi explained proudly.

Such a large catapult ordnance.

Anyone who sees it is not surprised.

Ye Qing walked around it, and then asked:

"Have you wiped it, how far is the range, and how powerful is the lethality."

Mozi replied: "Your Majesty, the shooting range is four hundred steps farther than the original trebuchet, and it is more than twice the weight of the original stone bullet."

"As for loading, it's semi-automatic.

The back-shaped warehouse door is made of iron and can be opened.

The stone bullets don't need to be transported, they can only be pushed into the return bin with the rolling chain! "

"Moreover, the entire return gun adopts four-wheel drive linkage and consists of dozens of gears and pulleys.

It can save effort to the greatest extent! "

"The lethality is astonishing, more than five times more powerful than the original stone bomb!"

Silk, five times stronger than before.

If it takes a shot, the wall can still stand it.

The bigger the ordnance.

This is to complete the horizontal push to the end.

Everyone was excited.

Such an artifact is the only magic weapon for attacking the city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

No matter what kind of strong city it is, it can be blasted down.

Ye Qingdao: "Take the shot and see the effect. The cowhide is not blown. How about it? Let's wait and see!"

"Promise!" Mozi immediately took the order, and asked the soldiers of the Ministry of Industry to wipe and fire the large return cannon.

Soon the soldiers will be in place.

Very skillful filling.

"put!"

The next moment the stone bullet was fired.

Fly towards the opposite shooting range.

"Boom!" With a sound, the stone bomb hit a thick wall.

The wall was directly blasted and smashed down.

The tremors on the ground could be felt two miles away.

Many civil servants trembled a little.

If you hadn't been prepared for it.

Embarrassed without preparation.

Ye Qing and the military generals had bright eyes.

He was in high spirits, with uncontrollable excitement on his face.
