Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 432 Pretend to be the most deadly invisibly
Chapter [-] is the deadliest pretense in the invisible
A farmer picked up a gem the size of an egg and wanted to present it to the emperor, so he handed it over to the county.The county magistrate exchanged a golden egg for the magistrate, and the magistrate exchanged it for a silver egg and handed it over to the governor... The last real local egg went to the emperor.The emperor touched the farmers' hearts, and rewarded the farmers with a thousand taels of gold, and then the thousand taels became a hundred taels, and the hundred taels became ten taels.When the peasants got a tael of gold brought from the county, they were very moved.

Although this is a joke, it reflects the normal state in the officialdom.

5000 taels of gold is naturally not a small amount, but for Wang Xuanqiong, who has managed Jinsha Town for nearly two years and became Wang Shichong's gold general, this amount of gold is really nothing.In fact, Chen Ying's judgment was not accurate. He believed that the gold in Lingbao City in later generations could produce [-] tons of gold, and an annual production of [-] jin should not be a problem in this era.

Four thousand catties equals 4000 taels of gold. Even if Wang Xuanqiong handed over most of it to Wang Shichong, the gold retained in his hands should be more than 5000 taels, and more.After all, with the existence of that joke, Chen Ying would never believe that Wang Xuanqiong would dedicate all the mined gold to Wang Shichong, even if Wang Shichong was his own father, but people's eyeballs are black and gold is yellow.

Hearing the figure of 5 taels of gold, Zhao Jiqing was stunned.He is Wang Xuanqiong's confidant, although he also knew that Wang Xuanqiong secretly concealed some gold, but it was definitely not as much as 5 taels. Added together, there are only more than 2 taels, which is far from the 5 taels Chen Ying requested.

Zhao Jiqing returned to the Jinsha camp uneasy, and told Chen Ying that Wang Xuanqiong and Chen Ying wanted him to take out 5 taels of gold. Facing Chen Ying's blackmail, Wang Xuanqiong jumped three feet high like a cat that stepped on its tail : "Why doesn't he go grab it?"

Zhao Jiqing thought inwardly: "He is going to grab it!"

Wang Xuanqiong once again called the generals to discuss countermeasures.

All the generals agreed unanimously that if you want money or not, you can die.They all clamored to fight with Chen Ying.

But before they could discuss any countermeasures, they heard the rapid sound of war drums coming from outside the camp.

The reorganized Modao Army has formed a dense formation, ready to attack the Jinsha Camp.

Chen Ying surrendered two Modao regiments at once (there were only so many Modao in his hand), and more than [-] Modao fighters lined up in a dense formation and slowly launched an attack on Zheng Jun's Jinsha camp.

The Mo Dao Army has two major difficulties, one is that it is difficult to make a Mo Dao, and the other is that it is difficult to obtain a Mo Dao hand.The first difficulty is a problem of technology and resources, but with the emergence of high manganese steel, this difficulty of blocking Modao and being unable to mass-produce has been easily solved.Only the high manganese ore powder produced in the Lingzhou Salt Mine is as much as 1 catties per month, which can be used to produce 1 catties of high manganese steel, and at the same time can forge about [-] mo knives and The same amount of high manganese steel bright armor.If there is a year, Chen Ying's workshop will completely produce [-] Mo Dao and [-] Mingguang armors.It can fully arm forty Modao regiments.

Of course, Chen Ying was not satisfied with this amount. He also sent more than a dozen exploration teams to search for manganese ore resources in various places such as Hexi, Bashu, Guanzhong, and Hedong within the scope of Datang. The high-manganese steel Mingguang armor and Mo knife can be like a horizontal knife, with inexhaustible and inexhaustible output.

Once this kind of Modao army forms a conventional army with large-scale equipment, this kind of Modao army that can advance like a wall, step, ride, shoot, length, and various arms can crush all enemies around Datang, especially It is the Turkic people in the north, who will usher in an indelible nightmare in their lives.

In fact, the key factor restricting the development of the Tang Mo Dao Army is not because of the difficulty of equipment, but because of the difficulty of finding talents.In order to increase the protracted combat capability of the Modao army, in the absence of the Modao, Chen Ying only needs to let the more than [-] Modao army soldiers who do not have the real Modao take temporary modifications, which fully doubles and a half Tomahawk for physical training.

Seeing the Modao Army slowly approaching, Chen Yingchong Ashina Simo, Shan Xiongxin, Zhang Anshi, Gao Feiyang and other generals said: "Although the Modao Army is not a omnipotent army, it is undeniable that the Modao Army is still difficult to match head-on in this era. army!"

Shan Xiongxin asked suspiciously: "According to what the general said, it seems that the Modao Army also has a way to restrain it?"

"Restraint method? Of course there is, and there is more than one!" Chen Ying smiled slightly, looking at Gao Feiyang and Zhang Anshi intentionally or unintentionally: "The first method, in fact, General Gao and General Zhang have already experienced the taste of it! "

Gao Feiyang and Zhang Anshi's eyes met in the air, and they were speechless.

In fact, when they first started, they were actually very unconvinced.However, after surrendering to Chen Ying, the two had to admit that the hook and sickle spear, whether cavalry or infantry, could easily bring down the heavy and slow-moving Mo Dao army.

However, as a heavy infantry general, Zhang Anshi was obviously not convinced that Chen Ying underestimated the Modao Army so much. He was slightly taken aback, and said bravely, "I don't know General Chen, what else can I do to restrain Modao?"

"This general can use a crossbow!"

"Crossbow?" Zhang Anshi felt very funny. The soldiers of the two-layer heavy-armored Tomahawk battalion could ignore the shooting of crossbows below three stones. Even if it was a three-stone crossbow, it would not be able to harm the soldiers of Modao Army unless it hit the neck or head.

Knowing that Zhang Anshi didn't believe it, Chen Ying wasn't angry either.Instead, he nodded at Ashina Simo.

Ashina Simo then took a crossbow from the horse's neck.

This crossbow is completely different from ordinary crossbows. Except for the crossbow string, there is no other part that is the same as the crossbow. Even the whole crossbow is made of steel.

Chen Ying was slightly struggling to lift such a crossbow.However, Chen Ying asked Ashina Simo to install the tripod on the ground, and put this strange crossbow on the tripod with difficulty.While stringing the crossbow, Chen Ying held the crossbow trigger and made a 360-degree rotation.

"This crossbow machine is called the Scorpion Crossbow. The crossbow arm is six feet six inches long and weighs 32 catties and sixty-two three cents!" Chen Ying explained to the generals while putting the steel crossbow into the arrow slot: "This crossbow The only shortcoming of the crossbow machine is that it is too bulky, and it will be very difficult to carry it by a single soldier, especially each crossbow bolt weighs two or four dollars a catty. If a pot of 25 crossbow bolts is also carried, a soldier will have no money at all. The method is long-range maneuvering, so the general has defined this kind of crossbow machine. This kind of crossbow machine does not fight alone, but is only used as a support arm of the Modao army, responsible for covering the Modao team to face the enemy's bows or crossbow arrows. "

When Chen Ying said this, everyone understood.In fact, why the Modao Army was lost in the Song Dynasty was not because of the convenience of the Modao craft, but the lack of horses in the Song Dynasty.The generals and soldiers of the Mo Dao Army are all mounted infantry. They all ride war horses, and they are one man with two horses. One horse is used to carry the Mo Dao hand, and the other horse is used to carry the supplies of the Mingguang armor and the Mo Dao hand.In the Song Dynasty, due to the lack of horses, Modaoshou could not follow the large army to maneuver.However, the Tang Army was different. At the time when the Tang Dynasty was at its most powerful, there were more than 60 war horses in the horse farms under the jurisdiction of Taipu Temple alone, but the Tang Army had less than [-] regular troops.

What's more, in the Tang Dynasty, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Longyou, Bashu, Qingzhou, Hetao, Monan, and Mobei were all suitable for raising horses.The number of war horses owned by private folks is also very scary. (Tong Dian) In fact, it is recorded that the Tang Army’s equipment group had six war horses at the most difficult time. During the richest Zhenguan period, a group of ten people owned fourteen war horses. (average).

At this time, Chen Ying did not pull the crossbow string hard like other crossbow machines, but tugged at the bottom (Old Cheng didn't know why it was called such an extraordinary name), and shook a ratchet vigorously. Turning, the crossbow string was slowly buckled on the bracket.

Chen Ying adjusted the firing angle with the crossbow, and suddenly pulled the crossbow at three o'clock.

"call out……"

The crossbow shot out of the string and flew towards Zheng Jun's camp with a scream.A large flag with the word "Zheng" fluttering in the wind on the sentry tower of Zheng Jun's camp fell in response to the sound.

Shan Xiongxin was dumbfounded.

Zhang Anshi was dumbfounded.

Ashina Simo was also slightly surprised.

In fact, Chen Ying's archery skills can barely be said to be average, he can barely hit seven out of ten arrows at a fifty-step target, which is quite qualified.But he didn't expect that Chen Ying could shoot the banner in the enemy camp from [-] paces away, which was very difficult for him himself.

The person who was three hundred steps away had actually turned into a stick of fire in his sight.

Chen Ying actually wanted to say that what he was aiming at was not the big flag at all, but the eye-catching big gong in front of Zheng Junying.This large copper gong is almost three feet long, and there is a very bright center in the center, which can be used as a target.Unexpectedly, it was the gong that was aimed at, and it happened to hit the flag of Zheng Guo.

"The general is good at archery."

"The general really lives up to his reputation."

"The great general Zhen Nai Yang Youji is alive..."

Chen Ying smiled slightly and said: "Coincidence"

But looking at the appearance of the generals.Obviously don't believe it.

Chen Ying shook his head and smiled wryly, pretending to be coercive invisibly, that's the real thing.Chen Ying coughed to hide his embarrassment, and continued: "This is a scorpion crossbow. It can shoot three hundred paces. Within one hundred paces, it can shoot six inches into a compacted earth wall, and within fifty paces it can shoot five inches. Go one foot in, tell me, what is the chance of the Modao Army encountering this kind of crossbow?"

Shan Xiong said: "If so, the heavy shield may not be able to stop it."

Zhang Anshi said: "It's not just a heavy shield, even two layers of iron armor can't stop it..."
