I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 46 Type 99 Repeater Ballista
"Your Majesty, that's what Xian Junhou said yesterday..."

When Meng Yi described Li Yu's words and deeds at the foot of Mount Li yesterday, he was still a little inexplicably excited.

At this time, Ying Zheng's expression had already returned to normal after recuperation, and his spirit was better than before.

He was quite calm when he heard Meng Yi's narration of what happened yesterday, but unexpectedly, he heard that Li Yu had arranged the Lishan Army directly at the foot of Lishan Mountain.

Ying Zheng is not calm now. Lishan is only a hundred miles away from Xianyang. If the 20 Lishan army is equipped with armaments, if something happens, will the Xianyang Palace be protected?

Grandma is a leg, what does he want to do?
Ying Zheng's face darkened immediately, and he said, "Let's discuss the deployment of armaments. Although it is not easy to hide 20 troops, it is not impossible."

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help frowning and said: "Isn't the Lord Xianjun building ships? There is a Hanzhong County to the south of Xianyang. It can also enter the Yangtze River near the Han River, and it can be used as a garrison for the garrison."

Meng Yi's expression froze, yesterday's arrangement was indeed inappropriate, the 20 troops were not recruited, and their loyalty still needs to be tested.

Meng Yi secretly remembered this point, so that he would have to go to the Junhou Mansion to take a message for His Majesty later.

And Li Yu naturally didn't expect the water army. If the Lishan army could be turned into a water army and equipped with a continuous crossbow on board, it would be invincible within a range of 800 meters.

During this time, Li Yugang sent Li Cunxiao to Lishan, feeling somewhat disappointed.

But Zhang Han was also generous when he heard people report that he directly appointed "Master Xiao" as the former general of the First Corps of the Lishan Army.

You must know that the Lishan Army has 20 soldiers, and it is divided into four armies with 5 soldiers each. Li Cunxiao was appointed as a general, but he has 5 people under his command, and the special warfare team of Houfu can only be temporarily commanded by Zhao Yun.

As Meng Yi brought Ying Zheng's oral order, Li Yu also slapped his head on hearing it. The head of his dignified shipbuilding department actually forgot about it.

So he directly took Meng Yi to the foundry department again, and found the grimy Feng Yansheng.

As soon as they met, Li Yu was surprised that Feng Yansheng, a dignified third-rank official, had worked so hard to look like this, so he greeted with admiration: "Master Feng, please take care of your health."

Hearing what Li Yu said, Feng Yansheng rolled his eyes and thought: Grandma has such a leg, I don't want to be so tired.

Then he looked at Li Yu with eyes full of grievances, as if he was saying: I don't blame you for tossing about all the whimsical tricks all day long, and then you leave after you pat your ass...

Li Yu seemed to have sensed Feng Yansheng's strange emotions, and patted him on the shoulder in embarrassment and said, "Hey, Mr. Feng is very miserable. When Ben Hou returns, let Mr. Hua prescribe some tonics for you to take care of it."

Only then did Feng Yansheng start talking and laughing: "Master Hou, the Type 99 ballista has just been successfully developed a few days ago.

And in the past few days, at your request, the foundry department has stopped all casting projects, and has devoted all its energy to casting and assembling Type 99. Presumably, in less than a month, the forty Type 99 continuous ballista needed by Lord Hou can be fully assembled and equipped for you. The Lishan Army is gone. "

Li Yu nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "I wonder if you can make any progress in developing the iron-clad boat."

Feng Yansheng raised his brows, and said arrogantly: "The method of inlaying iron sheets on the outside of the wooden boat will not trouble the craftsmen under my Feng."

Li Yu smiled, and the way he looked at Feng Yansheng became different.

Grandma has a leg, if this Feng Yansheng is placed in the modern society, no matter what, he is also a scientific research leader who has been supported.

Damn it's a talent!
Li Yu praised Feng Yansheng all over in his heart, and then said: "Oh? How about the research on screws and propellers?"

Feng Yansheng's old face collapsed at this moment, and he couldn't say a word: "This...craftsman is still developing it."

Originally, Li Yu's idea was to set up the battleship as an iron box, but there is no such thing as argon arc welding and oxygen welding...

The only option is to choose a wooden hull, an iron frame, and finally use iron as the shell and inlay it on the hull. Such an iron boat can dominate the sea in the future.

It's just that the screws needed to assemble the iron parts and the human-powered gear propellers installed at the stern are too precise. With Daqin's level of craftsmanship, it will take a while to find out.

Anyway, there is no rush, Li Yu smiled, and quickly comforted: "There is no rush, the current first-generation warships are still mainly iron boats, but the holes reserved for the hull must be reserved, and the deck also needs to be reserved. There are four positions for placing Type 99 repeating crossbows."

Feng Yansheng's expression changed, and he nodded in disbelief. Anyway, the hull design is divided into three types: small, medium and large.

He also heard that His Majesty has turned Lishan prisoners 20 overnight into the Fourth Army of the Li Empire, presumably he is planning to exterminate the Baiyue people and those stupid thieves who do not give up.

On the other hand, Li Yu rubbed his hands, and directly asked Feng Yansheng for the four 99-type continuous ballistas in stock.

I saw that the crossbow body was only six meters long, and the front and rear wheels were all made of high-quality wood, with a tie rod for 45-degree steering, which was extremely flexible.The wheels and the body are covered with iron sheets, which are really hard to hurt.

The most core continuous crossbow itself is transformed from the nine-star continuous crossbow used by the special warfare team of the Junhou Mansion. In principle, an iron baffle is added to replace the arrow box.

The arrow paths of the entire crossbow machine are arranged in nine vertical and eleven horizontal lines, densely packed arrow paths, just looking at them is extremely terrifying and domineering.

In the face of Zhao Tuo's Lingnan Army, four Type 99s would be enough.

Li Yu calculated the angle coverage of the arrows, and finally concluded that at least four 99-type ballistas must be deployed on the battlefield at the same time to complete the fire suppression.

With the 99-type continuous ballista equipped with horses, four ferocious and domineering new armaments marched to the shooting range.

800 meters away, the soldiers placed on the wooden piles to form a shield array composed of three rows of military shields with a length of [-] meters on the left and right, and three rows of three meters apart, which has become a black line.

Then, Li Yu stepped onto a 99-style ballista, holding a [-]-centimeter-long push-pull rod with both hands, and shouted excitedly: "Meng Shangqing, Mr. Feng, and Zilong, how about three or four of us each driving a Car, how about trying this new type of ballista?"

Meng Yi's expression changed. Under the seemingly indifferent appearance, his heart was already agitated. He immediately got on the ballista and asked, "How to use this ballista?"

Feng Yansheng, on the other hand, had a flushed face, holding the push-pull rod with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty Meng only needs to push forward slightly, and the 99 arrows will be shot within a second."

Meng Yi's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help being shocked: "How easy is it to control such a complex ballista?"

When Li Yu heard the word "simple", he smiled and said nothing.Feng Yansheng, on the other hand, felt disdainful towards laymen, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty Meng thinks it's difficult?"

Meng Yi knew in his heart that he had said something wrong, he shouldn't compare such an artifact with the traditional ballista, so he just laughed it off.

Feng Yansheng asked the technician to adjust the accuracy again, and Li Yu then shouted: "I will count down to three later, and the four of us will push the push-pull lever at the same time."

"three"

"two"

"One"

shhhhhhh~
A series of piercing sounds danced like beautiful notes, leaving clouds of mist in front of the arrow trail.

In an instant, I saw a string of dense black spots of arrow shadows falling on the shield in the distance, making a thud, and then the sound spread far away.

The newly made iron military shields were directly shot into pieces, and even the military shields in the third row were shot into sieves.

When Li Yu and the others approached with the chariot and saw the mess on the scene, they immediately took a deep breath...

　The support of reading friends is the driving force for me to move forward. I wish you all a happy life~
