Roman Slave Owner
Chapter 142: New weapon
Rome is so messy now, he doesn't want to leave Rome.
The best players he can play are Li Wei and Pompeo. Li Wei's record in central and southern Italy makes him more assured.
Li Wei's spirit lifted up, is it finally here?
Do you want to go? I remember that Pompeo won a triumph by this war.
"Okay, but how many troops can I bring?"
Li Wei said.
"Your six legions, and I will give you 3000 cavalry."
Sura said.
"No, I want to leave a legion to guard the Dragon City, you can give me another legion."
Li Wei said.
"Ok."
Sura thought for a while and said.
It's easy to beat them with so many troops. It seems that this time the triumph is set.
Li Wei soon left Rome, and then returned to Capua.
It is not an easy task for the army to set off for Africa. This includes the dispatch of ships, the preparation of materials, etc. It will take some time, and he has prepared a secret weapon for the enemy.
"Ah! Ah, ah,"
Little Li Wei waved his small round hand in dissatisfaction, stared at the small round eyes, and looked at this nasty villain with dissatisfaction.
Li Wei hugged Li Wei and gently pulled his chubby little face, pulling out one cute look after another.
"What are you doing?"
Yulia thumped him in dissatisfaction, as soft as itching.
This guy hasn't been seen for a few months. As soon as he went home, he came back to harm the child. She took Xiao Li Wei from Li Wei's arms.
"Are you going to war again?"
Yulia said worriedly.
"A little thing, someone wants to make trouble in Africa."
Li Wei said nonchalantly, of course, even if he was worried, he would not show it.
"You must be careful."
Yulia said, she understood that this was the fate of the Romans.
Every Roman longs for glory and triumph, and Levi is no exception.
In fact, Li Wei is not worried about this. Pompeo used 40 days to end the Battle of Africa in his previous life. If he is his own, almost 30 days will be enough.
"We won't see each other for a while, would you please treat me first."
After talking, Li Wei has put a pair of salty pig hands on the long white and tender legs and slid gently. There is no way, these legs are endlessly fun.
"I hate it!"
Although she has a child, Yulia is still shy.
Li Wei immediately understood what she meant. To hate is what she meant.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Little Li Wei strongly protested that he was taken away by the nanny, and at the same time called for help. The bad guy was going to bully his mother again, and then there was a long content that was inappropriate for children.
After Yulia repeatedly begged for mercy, Li Wei left here like a victorious general.
He took some centurions and military guarantors to the craftsman area of Longcheng, where thousands of craftsmen gathered to produce and develop various weapons for Li Wei. It was Li Wei’s most important logistics base.
The guards on the patrol saw them saluting. Wu Fa looked at all of this with envy. He did not envy the Romans’ wealth of gold and silver, or the luxury culture of the Romans, but only the weapons and equipment of the Romans.
This is the nature of the Germans. The Germans are proud of hunting and warfare, ashamed of agricultural production, do not like gold, silver and fine wine, but only like sophisticated weapons.
Since he captured the flag in the last battle, Li Wei asked him what reward he wanted.
Wufa don't get promoted and get rich, as long as the swords in the Li Wei weapon shop, the price of those weapons is too expensive, even if you sell him, you can't afford it, but he drools with greed.
So Li Wei not only promoted him to a military guarantor, but also gave him a 15 steel-making sword, which made Wu Fa very fond of him.
came to a shooting range in the crossbow area, some craftsmen have already been here waiting for them.
In addition to the Roman soldiers, Livi faced the powerful Numidian cavalry.
The Numidian cavalry is a very powerful army. They defeated the Roman cavalry many times in the Battle of Punic, and defeated the Romans several times in the Jugurda War. They left a deep impression on the Romans, and they were also the favorite of the Romans. Confederate Cavalry,
But this time they once again stood on the opposite side of Rome and chose Livi’s enemy Dumicius.
How to deal with cavalry, the Chinese have already had a wealth of experience, that is, using crossbows,
Li Ling, the son of flying general Li Guang, once defeated the Xiongnu's 30,000 cavalry with 5,000 infantry, relying on bows and crossbows.
Numidian cavalry is a kind of saddleless cavalry, and they don’t wear armor or only wear leather armor. The bow and crossbow are their natural nemesis.
Li Wei conducted research on the crossbows at this time and found that both Greek and Roman crossbows were terribly rotten. Not only were they small in pounds, they had poor elasticity, and the loss of force when shooting was quite large, so he had to develop his own. Raise the crossbow.
"Patriarch."
"the host."
"……"
Those craftsmen saw Li Wei salute. Among them were slave craftsmen and Li Wei's doormen.
Li Wei nodded, and then said, "Bring those crossbows here."
Those craftsmen took out some bows and crossbows and gave them to the centurions and military guards.
"What are these?" someone asked,
"Our new weapon." Li Wei said,
Those centurions fiddle with crossbows. These crossbows are well-made, made of fine yew wood, and the bowstrings are beef tendons. What's more, it is different from other crossbows, that is, it is very large, and the crossbow arm is very long, which is twice as long as a normal crossbow, and you can see that it has a very strong pulling force.
A centurion with arrogance and bravery exerted great effort to wind the crossbow.
"This strength is too great. After a few shots in a battle, I lose my strength, and I'm still hitting a fart."
Someone said.
Those craftsmen were a little bit dumbfounded~www.readwn.com~ The centurion's strength was so strong that he could wind it with his hands.
"These crossbows are not on hands, but on feet."
A craftsman said.
"On your feet?"
Those centurions couldn't help being stunned, and what kind of crossbow?
A craftsman demonstrated it to them, and saw that he stepped on a ring on the front of the crossbow, and then pulled the bowstring with both hands, and quickly put the bowstring into the groove on the back, and then placed an arrow. Into the arrow slot.
Everyone suddenly realized that it was like this.
Wufa looked thoughtfully at the crossbow in his hand. This is really a good design. Although it is just a simple change from hand-winding to foot-winding, this is definitely a qualitative leap.
In fact, Li Wei originally wanted to use a pulley crossbow, but the cost of such a crossbow is too high.
Even he couldn't bear it, and finally gave up the idea.
"How many pounds are the tension of these crossbows?" Someone asked the craftsmen,
"There are two levels, 200 Roman pounds and 250 Roman pounds (one Roman pound = 0.335KG)." A craftsman said,
Everyone just calculated it a little, and they all took a breath, but they didn’t know the others! This pulling force is strong enough,
