The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1313 I'm Going To Leave

The news of Shaozhou's occupation quickly spread to various countries, among which Nantang had the biggest reaction, especially Lin Renzhao, who was the mainstay of the military, was even more surprised.

"Are you saying that the Song army defeated the Southern Han's elephant formation with a crossbow?" News, especially war news, usually spreads quite quickly, not to mention that the Southern Tang Dynasty has been paying attention to the battle between the Great Song Dynasty and the Southern Han Dynasty, so it is natural to know News from the west of Zhejiang.

"Yes, our people in the army brought back the image of this new type of crossbow. Please take a look." The visitor handed Lin Renzhao a wooden box as he spoke, to see how they looked at the image. It is very important, otherwise it will not be protected so well, and such a precious box is packed.

Lin Renzhao was amazed on the one hand, and happy on the other hand. What surprised him was that Song Guo had developed a new type of crossbow. People who are happy, they got the image of the crossbow. Even if it is not a design drawing, it is enough for them to study it. that's it.

The most important of these is the powerful armor protection of the heavy armored elephant array of the Southern Han Dynasty. It was equipped with a large number of the most powerful heavy-duty three-bow bed ballista and single-soldier crossbow in the world at that time. ? Lin Renzhao has also seen this kind of crossbow. When the Zhou army occupied Yangzhou at that time, the crossbow was lost. However, the Song army bed crossbow in this picture is smaller than the previous generation, but the structure is quite Complicated, much more complicated than before, this shows that the power of this new crossbow is definitely much greater than the previous generation.

"Find a way to get someone to get the real thing. This thing is very important to us Tang Jun. It may be of great help to us in the future. Remember to get it, no matter how much it costs." Lin Renzhao took a look. Seeing the value of this thing, I also want to equip it for Nan Tang.

This kind of powerful crossbow is suitable for long-distance attacks. If it is a siege, it will definitely be a lethal weapon against the two armies. It is an invincible lethal weapon. Lin Renzhao naturally knows this, so he is also fantasizing It can be equipped for Datang's army.

Although there is an image map, the crossbow cannot be made without a design drawing. It is best to have a model. To be more accurate, it needs a real object for reference.

"These things have to be hidden, don't show your feet, do things in secret, and send a few more dead men over there, all for the sake of my Tang Dynasty's country and society."

"Haha, I've really learned a lot. It's the first time I've seen such a powerful crossbow. No wonder those elephants would die under these arrows. If it was a human, there would be no bones left." Pan Mei said that Che Nu was beaming, it was really the first time he had seen such a powerful Arrow and Crossbow.

"Speaking of which, it is really thanks to these chariot crossbows that they broke the Southern Han Dynasty's elephant needle this time. Sir, you have contributed a lot this time." These chariot crossbows were all designed by Miao Xun, because they originally thought they were going to be popular. Attacking, Miao Xun felt that it was not safe.

They all know that these elephants have such a good weakness, so Nanhan himself knows it, so they may also be guarding against people's fire attacks. Thinking of this, Miao Xun suggested to Zhao Xu that the things they had originally prepared were still there.
If there is no time to use it, it is this crossbow.

Carriage crossbows and bed crossbows have a long history. There were such heavy weapons before the Song Dynasty, but this time they are completely different. The volume is much smaller than before, just a reduced version.

Although the volume is smaller, due to the use of multiple large-scale composite co-combination technology and anti-bow technology, the shooting range has been greatly improved. Let’s use an analogy. It used to be able to be used one mile away, but now it can be used three miles away. , and the lethality is even greater.

"It's nothing, I just improved the things of the predecessors, but they have indeed made meritorious service, but this thing is too lethal, it's best not to use it lightly, it will hurt the peace." Miao Xun also knew that it would hurt the sky. And, it hurts the sky, what are you doing after researching it, and you are talking sarcastic here again.

But it’s right to think about it, thinking about something like the atomic bomb, which was originally developed only for deterrence, but in the end it became a weapon for hegemony. Those scientists who proposed to develop the atomic bomb at the beginning must have regretted it.

"Don't worry, sir, these things were successfully researched to deal with foreigners, and they will naturally be used less in the future. By the way, the manufacturing technology of this crossbow must not be known to people with ulterior motives, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhao Xu used the crossbow this time to deal with the war elephants of the Southern Han Dynasty, and the effect was really great. Not to mention the defeat of the elephant formation, even the [-] troops were defeated, most of them were captured, and some escaped .

Zhao Xu took a look, and sure enough, many people were wiped out by this crossbow. Although Zhao Xu wanted to use these crossbows to directly attack various countries, that would really hurt peace.

If the Great Song conquered these countries, then these countries would all be the territory of the Great Song, and those who died would naturally be the subjects of the Great Song. It is not what Zhao Xu wants to see with these things against his own subjects of.

At the beginning, these things were prepared to deal with the foreign race, that is, the Khitan people. To deal with the people on the grassland, not only must they have cavalry, but they must also be able to defeat their cavalry. This crossbow is undoubtedly the nemesis of the cavalry.

"Sir, let our workshop be kept strictly confidential. This technology must not be leaked. This time, many people died under this weapon, and we feel sorry for it. Although we do not guarantee that other countries can build these things, But we must use as little as possible."

These things all appeared in the war, and they were constantly improved in the war, making them even more lethal. This is the trend of the development of the times, and no one can stop it. There is no guarantee that people from other countries will not be able to produce it, but At least Da Song will not leak this thing out.

"The next thing is Pan Yu, Pan Mei, I'll leave these things to you. Don't kill too much. As long as Nanhan surrenders, don't kill too much. I see that Nanhan has no ability to resist after this battle." gone."

"The final general listens to His Highness, and who doesn't obey His Highness's unified command?" Pan Mei flattered her a little, but this time it seemed that Zhao Xu didn't make fun of him anymore!
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you this time. There's nothing serious here. I've decided to leave. As long as there are no accidents, Nanhan will belong to me in less than half a month!"

what?
Zhao Xu is leaving?Even Miao Xun didn't expect Zhao Xu to leave at this time. Could it be that he really has something to do?This is too sudden!
"Your Highness, you are leaving, why are you leaving?" Pan Mei asked suspiciously!
