Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 576 Arrow Nest
The gears of the war are turning. In order to take the initiative in the coming troubled times, Lin Chuan dare not be careless in the slightest, so he is very busy these days. After inspecting the various armies, he non-stop inspects the grain reserves and weapons libraries and more.

"Young Marshal, these are all new knives produced by ourselves, and we have begun to equip the troops." The head of the weapon shop handed Lin Chuan a new knife that smelled of oil, and introduced it respectfully.

Lin Chuan took the new knife, and it was cold in his hand. The cold iron exuded a long blue light, which looked sharp and menacing, and there was a buzzing echo when he flicked his fingers.

"Young commander, you can test your knife here—" the head of the weapons workshop pointed to a wooden stake set up next to him and said.

Lin Chuan stepped forward, raised the new knife and swung it vigorously. With a click, the wooden stake with a thick bowl rim broke. Looking at the neat knife edge of the wooden stake, Lin Chuan nodded with satisfaction. The new knife is very sharp.

Lin Chuan asked, "How much can you produce in one month?"

The official in charge replied: "According to the current standardized production, it is enough to build [-] in one month."

Lin Chuan returned the knife to the official in charge: "You did a good job, but you must strictly control the quality while pursuing quantity. I don't want a new knife to pop out of the gap within a few days."

"Please rest assured, young commander. According to your instructions, we have established a accountability system. Every knife will have a number. If there is a quality problem, we can find the craftsman in question according to the number."

Lin Chuan said: "It's very good. Soldiers are fighting on the front line. This weapon is their second life, so don't be careless. You are also an old man of our Nanchuan Army. You should know what to do."

"Young commander, don't worry, I know how to do it." The official in charge hastily agreed. After all, he is an old man of the Nanchuan Army, so he naturally understands the rules of the Nanchuan Army, so he dare not pretend to be inferior or engage in fraudulent behavior.

According to the previous procedures, each craftsman wanted to make a good knife time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the quality of the making was also uneven, but now according to Lin Chuan's idea, the weapon workshop has established a standardized production line, which not only increases the output but also guarantees the quality of the knife. This is why the Nanchuan Army is expanding its army so rapidly now, because the weapons and equipment can also keep up, and the soldiers will not go to the battlefield with burning sticks.

"The blueprint I gave you last time, has the weapon progressed?" Lin Chuan asked the official in charge while inspecting the tinkling work of the craftsmen.

"Young Marshal, we have conducted research according to your blueprints. At present, only two weapons have been modeled, and the rest are still under experimentation..." The official in charge looked bitter. The blueprints given by Lin Chuan were too complicated. I even wondered if Lin Chuan painted it casually, after all, those weapons are too heaven-defying.

However, according to the weapons they have already manufactured, the drawings given by Lin Chuan are fine, but it is difficult for them to find good materials to make them for a while, or their ability is not enough.

Seeing the face of the official in charge, Lin Chuan waved his hands with a smile and said, "It's okay, you study it slowly, these things can't be rushed."

Lin Chuan also knew that the weapons in his blueprints were too advanced after all. All technical things required a long time to accumulate. It is also very good to produce two pieces in a short time.

"Take me to see what you have made." Lin Chuan can't wait to see the finished product now.

Under the leadership of the official in charge, Lin Chuan and his party turned around and passed through several heavily guarded iron gates to the depths of the weapons workshop. There were also craftsmen busy here, but the number was much smaller.

"Take out the weapons we made." The official in charge ordered.

Soon two pieces of weapons and equipment covered with black cloth were pushed out, and Lin Chuan looked forward to it even more.

"What is it? It's mysterious." Thunderstorm, the head of the direct army, looked at the heavily guarded road along the way, and then at the weapon wrapped in black cloth, his face was full of curiosity.

"What the hell is this?" Soon the black cloth was lifted, revealing a wooden box full of small black holes, and Thunderstorm became even more puzzled.

Lin Chuan looked at this wooden box several meters in length and width, and his breathing became a little short. He never thought that he would actually make it by relying on the imagination in his memory.

"Young Marshal, we are currently naming this thing Arrow Nest, and it can shoot 120 arrows at a time." The official in charge said.

Lin Chuan nodded: "Experiment." Although Lin Chuan was excited, but after all, it depends on the power. If it is superficial, it is useless at all.

Following Lin Chuan's instructions, the chief official stepped forward and pulled a rope next to him, and with a bang, 120 sharp arrows shot out from the holes in the arrow nests, scaring There was a thunderstorm.

"My darling, the arrow is actually hidden inside." Thunderstorm became even more curious, and looked at it carefully.

"Swoosh——" The chief official pulled again, and 120 arrows roared out of the arrow nests, heading straight for the wall 300 meters away.

Puff puff!Soil dust was flying on the wall, and many arrows penetrated three points into the wall. The thunderstorm was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He didn't expect these arrows to be so powerful.

Before the thunderstorm recovered from the shock, the second round and the third round of arrows had already roared in. The earth wall groaned for a moment and then collapsed, and the arrows in the arrow nests ended after four rounds.

"Young commander, at present the power of the arrow nest can only be exerted within 300 meters, and after experiments, if it is not bulky, the current size is the most suitable, but it can only shoot four rounds of arrows." The official in charge Introduction said.

"Okay, it's already very good. Let's produce it according to the current production. It's meaningless to make it too big." Lin Chuan ordered.

"Young commander, this thing is so good, it must be equipped with our direct army first." Thunderstorm couldn't restrain his inner excitement at this moment, and hurriedly shouted.

"Hahaha." Seeing Thunderstorm, Lin Chuan laughed like a child seeing a novelty toy: "Okay, I will equip you first."

With the arrow nest, it is a good supplement for the current archers. Not only do they shoot more arrows in each round, but also the arrows are faster. This is a huge advantage in the fierce battle between the two sides.

Imagine that if the two sides are fighting on the plain, the opponent's archer shoots a round of arrows, and the other side has already shot four more intensive and sharp arrows, then the advantage will be further expanded.

Moreover, it is not easy to train archers. Basically, if you shoot ten arrows, you will break away and lose your combat effectiveness. The arrow nest is different. As long as there are enough arrows, you can shoot continuously. With the arrow nest, the Nanchuan army can strike at a long distance The advantages will be further expanded.

Lin Chuan was very satisfied with the successful production of the arrow nest. Just as Lin Chuan was about to visit another weapon display, Xue Wen, the chief of staff, strode over in a hurry.

"Young Marshal, something happened to Wang Jing." Seeing the people around him, Xue Wen hastily stepped forward and lowered his voice to his ear canal.

Lin Chuan was puzzled, and did not realize the seriousness of the matter: "What's the matter?"

"The Emperor is dead—"

"What!" Lin Chuan screamed, but seeing Xue Wen's solemn expression, he immediately knew it was not a joke.
