Section 1683 Two Dalian Ring Crossbows
For Situ Sheng, they just used whatever to top it. At that time, it looked good.
"General, this is a front sight, ... the front line, there may be some shock after launch, and then aim again and launch again." After all, Meng Tian over there has never used it before, and I can't help but curse a little at this moment. Meng Tian is troubled, if he hits it, it's okay to say that his majesty is definitely an increase, but if he can't hit it, it will be shameful to himself, and it will be an adult who has lost it.
Situ Sheng looked nervously at that... the front line. Before, he hadn't touched these or any places. The one who shot at the Niu Clan soldiers was a fool. At this time, they should be hitting a huge tree not far away. If the hornet's nest can hit this thing, it is estimated that the dozens of cattle soldiers around it can be said to have explained it.
"Shoo..." Situ Sheng's basic skills are absolutely okay. Others need to aim for a while, but for Situ Sheng, a few seconds will be enough. He just felt a little relaxed retreat, but what a big deal. In a second, another two-meter-long crossbow arrow is already in place. The first crossbow arrow can fly out at a speed of 200 meters per second. After ten seconds, this crossbow arrow will be inserted accurately. When he reached the hornet's nest on the tree, this guy looked at some, but a dozen soldiers of the Niu race watched the action of the sky himself.
"Haha, when is this true and when is it false? Just like this time, they all came from the heart.
"All prepare, launch." Situ Sheng received the big horn from the hand of the messenger, and his own voice quickly radiated. Following Situ Sheng's command, the standard bearers in several directions began to move towards others. The bunkers issued orders, and all the giant crossbow arrows in the hundreds of bunkers on the city wall that stretched for 20 miles began to fire. Opposite them, the hundreds of thousands of savage tribe's vanguard troops were suffering. They were like living targets. , There is no place to hide, except for a few places with rocks to resist, even standing behind a tree is useless. Many people have seen the power of giant crossbow arrows. Many soldiers have launched hundreds of crossbow arrows. , Meng Tian didn’t blame them when he saw it. He said that he had launched fifty, but he himself had launched more than one hundred, killing at least four hundred soldiers of the Savage race. In just ten minutes, tens of thousands The gold coins are gone, but don’t worry. Hundreds of thousands of these crossbow arrows arrive every day. Many farmers in the empire have begun to produce this thing at home. Of course, agriculture cannot be abandoned. The task is also regulated according to how much grain your family produces. For example, if your family produces one thousand catties a year, you can produce 20 roots, and two thousand catties equals 50 roots. This will increase little by little. It is much faster to make money to grow food. Li Cong is also afraid that many people will not farm. It will be troublesome to run out and play things around. When the time comes, the entire empire will not have a food shortage.
After fifteen minutes, almost all the crossbows stopped. The savage troops on the opposite side suffered. The hundreds of thousands of troops were killed before they even saw the enemy. Many people died in two or three. I was strung with candied haws together. This war crossbow has this ability. The soldiers in Guangming City could only use the cavalry to usher in a small victory before, but this time they were unscathed and just fired. Some crossbow arrows made them retreat so far. At this time, the savages were obviously irritated. Hundreds of their slings had already been shipped out. Meng Tian was afraid that they would not know that this opportunity is really rare. Yes, if their opponents were soldiers from the Southern Empire, they wouldn’t be stupid. The catapult was introduced. Just now they have seen the power of their war crossbow, and then they are silly. Egg out.
The sound of whoosh was endless, and a large number of crossbow arrows flew towards their catapult. The savage catapult is made of stone. Although it is very hard, it cannot stand the impact of a large number of crossbow arrows. Yes, and the crossbow arrows of human beings are all toward the fulcrum of the catapult, which also makes their destiny so good. Many people are already desperate after seeing this scene. They don't want to think about it. The catapults are gone, and they are going to run. In this way, more than a hundred savages, which are very precious to the savages, are so ruined, accounting for more than a quarter of their total number of catapults.
The Snake Queen also believes in the fact that he has recruited more races and more soldiers, and human weapons have become more and more advanced. They were absolutely safe in this position before, but now they are Looking at these dead people on the ground, you know that they are simply not safe.
The face under the white veil of the Snake Queen was no one. No one has passed. At this moment, something that surprised everyone more. The crossbow arrow thrown by the Snake Queen actually stared at the city wall. This is the first time for the Snake Queen. I have to say that this has greatly boosted the morale of the savages. The humans watched this scene in astonishment, knowing that this city wall is made of the hardest stone, and he can actually get in right now. It's amazing.
"Huh, what's so great, even if you can throw yourself, there is only one person, it's impossible to throw them all out.
"Haha, it looks like we humans won this war. What's so great about the Snake Queen? We have our prince. The prince came with a lot of secret weapons this time. He will definitely let these beasts drink. A pot of meat, it just so happened that the meat stored in Guangming City is gone. These beasts are our best food." Other soldiers and low-level officers also said loudly, especially those low-level officers, they What is the most important way for these soldiers to raise their interest and try to minimize the impact of the snake queen. Sure enough, under their leadership, the people on the wall became happy again, and some people organized A few crossbow arrows attacked the Queen Snake. Although the Queen Snake easily avoided it, the Queen Snake did not fight back. He threw the one by himself with great strength. If he continued to throw it , I can’t guarantee that I can throw it on the city wall. If it falls off halfway, the joke will be a big deal. Not only will it not be of any use, but the people on my side are unlucky enough. Of jokes.
"Hmph, just make you happy for a few more days. Order to step back a thousand meters and set up camp. No one is allowed to take out the catapult without my order." The Queen Snake put down a few ruthless words and took it with him. After the man was gone, it could be seen that the soldiers of the orc tribe had suffered a great blow to this, although the snake queen's own skill was very weak.
The soldiers returning to the camp are obviously very excited. They are more happy about the future war. Situ Sheng is also very happy. Anyone on the mainland is very annoying to the savages, and he is not. Exceptionally, he came just now, but now the attack of the savages is about to begin. At this time, he can’t do anything that pulls his legs. Although he also wanted to call the army some military rules, they used to Don't care.
"Grand General, an urgent letter from the Imperial Capital." The soldier said a word and left. This soldier appeared to be a member of Situ Sheng, but in fact the boy was an eunuch, who was the closest to the Queen Mother. On the third day of the army’s departure, he caught up with the army, took the handwritten letter from the queen dowager and disguised as a soldier of Situ Sheng. There was no such thing in the past, but now the queen dowager has nothing to do with it. It's useful. This is already the seventh letter of this month from the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother urged or something. At this time, the Queen Mother was too ignorant of the mood of the frontline soldiers.
The guy standing outside is still waiting for his reply. Situ Sheng is really depressed. He is a great general who embarrassed an eunuch, but there is a queen mother behind him, so he can't be too much. , I can only answer my letter to the Queen Mother with patience and talk about the situation on the front line. The Queen Mother is very wise and should understand her current difficulties. If she now insists on sending the army to her own life .
Li Cong is different from Situ Sheng’s current mood. Li Cong has already rushed to the northern provinces. Originally, Li Cong has arrived here. The city gate is in front, and the city can be seen from outside the city. On the top of the huge warehouse, these warehouses are all full. It is less than one hundred and fifty miles from Guangming City. There was no wall at the time, but since the emergence of the snake queen, the empire has spent 200 million gold coins for This temporary warehouse built a huge wall. The function of the wall is not to resist the attack by the savages, but to delay time. If the savage soldiers are near the city, all the people inside have to do is to ignite several huge They must not let these materials fall into the hands of the savages. It is too sad to say that this city wall has such a fate, but such preparations are still necessary. Everyone knows that the savages with weapons are How terrible.
Li Cong passed when he entered the city.
"I said, brother, how did you get so many pigs? This is the gate of the city. If you don't get rid of it, maybe those officials will kill you." Li Cong said with a smile, but it looks like others. But I didn't mean to laugh with him.
"Oh, this little brother doesn't know something. I am a big pig farmer around here. My family has more pigs than here. I have already paid the fee. I hope someone will come and they will buy it. Ah, I used to be very popular here when there were a lot of people, but now it’s not working. I heard that the savages are coming. Most of the people are dragging their families to the hinterland, and my pork is also No one wants it anymore. My biggest family property is these pigs. Now I can’t just run with these pigs.
This guy is depressed when he talks about it. In the past, his pigs were simply not available on the market. Now That’s fine, because everyone has left, no one wants good pork. Li Cong sees him as pitiful. The population of this city has been reduced by at least one-third. Many landlords are depressed. Light, their land is there panic and they can't go, right? It's so close to the northern border, but there is a bad place, so they worry about the savages attacking.
"Okay, let me see you don’t do this, let’s do it, I’m in the army, you can give me all of your pigs or those in your family, if there are others like you around you Take it for me. I will order all the dishes according to your usual price, which is 10% lower. As for the meat, don’t even think about it. The price of meat is a catty. If this is open to the army, it will cost How much is it? In this society, a catty of meat costs 20 copper coins. It is absolutely no problem for a soldier to eat a catty of meat a day. 15 million people are 300 million copper coins a day, which is 30,000 gold coins. For gold coins, this is just raw meat. It will be more expensive if it is ready to serve, but this small amount of money is nothing to Li Cong. Now the army uses meat once a month, which is not enough. It is used, the food is okay in normal times, but now, during the war, these meats are things that allow soldiers to gain powerful strength. Naturally, Li Cong will not be stingy.
"In the past, this was not a small amount." This guy immediately sat up when Li Cong said that, a big customer.
Hundreds of thousands of pigs is a matter of tens of thousands of gold coins. Speaking of which, it is not enough for the frontline sergeants to eat for a day. This number is not a small number. Now everyone has to flee back to the mainland. If they are all purchased Even though this young man says he wants to reduce it by 10%, he still has a profit. Just like his pork, usually 20 coins per catty, now someone sells ten of them, and he does this business. Up.
"Hehe, this is a gold ticket of 10,000 gold coins. You take it, and take these pigs to the past. Twenty li now has passed and you can catch up with dinner at night. You can buy it from other people. Well, just send me over 200,000 heads every day. Money is indispensable for you." Li Cong said with a smile. It seems that the price of meat in this northern province should have made him stir up recently, and this old guy is not. Fool, looking at the gold ticket of these ten thousand gold coins, he immediately went to work happily. He himself was in the north, so he would not leave anymore. He just went to buy it for a while, even if it was from a neighbor In several provinces of China, I know that people use a lot in the army. This pork is the most common thing in ordinary people’s homes. Everyone has one or two pigs in their homes. Some five or six are even more likely. Collecting these things is not a matter of hand, this guy happily took some things and went to work.
"The prince, it is late to be an official. Just now I saw that the prince loves the people like a son. I really admire the prince from my heart. To be honest, the population of the entire northern province has decreased a lot since the story of the snake queen. His Majesty has said that there is no need to relocate the entire northern province, but as long as there are a large number of officials in the family who have a little bit of their own officials, if those officials who only want face and don't want to lie, they would have been driven away long ago. Hearing what he said, I felt that this guy was also very annoying for the savages, and it was too ruining the local economy.
"Hehe, but I dare not say that as an adult. In fact, I can help a little bit sore. Our economy has been destroyed by the savages. Although they have not yet entered, ours The influence of the side is really not small, but the son is the same. When he comes, he asks people to open the warehouse. Not bad, there are densely packed crossbow arrows of various types, and there is another warehouse with black ones. Gunpowder, the explosive power of this black gunpowder is not that great, but it can be considered a very powerful weapon in this society, and Li Cong will not take it out until the last juncture.
"My lord, this is the large warehouse we built recently for the adults' Invincible Battalion. At present, it is full of crossbow arrows, about 140 million. Now we pass by every day, and we can arrive in at most an hour. Now, with the cement road you invented, it is almost half faster than before. I’m not touting you for this. Now many people praise you, thinking about whether this road will be all The cement can be used to pave the road. The idea of ​​my own hometown. Officials can do better only if they have this idea. This guy is right. This is a war zone and must be prioritized.
"Hehe, don’t worry about that. The roads leading to Guangming City are the first batch, and the roads leading to the provincial capital are the second batch. I won’t forget this here. How many people are left in your county city? "Li Cong looked at the empty houses around and said.
As soon as I said this, the guy who was still smiling no longer smiled, "Lord, let’s not tell you, although Wang Tong can’t say that I am very capable, I can still handle the things you have given me. But my sister took care of the matter of retaining the population. There were originally more than 4 million people in this county, but now there are less than 2 million people left. Half of them are gone, and most of the rest are It’s the army or some of the errands in the major government offices and their families.
This guy said with a bitter face. This northern area sounds bad, but the soil is very fertile and black. These years Because of the snake queen, few people rushed to farm, and all fled.
"In this way, there is a lot of land vacated in the surrounding area?" Li Cong said, looking at the place where the grass is higher than people in the distance. It would be too wasteful to go on like this. Now the price of the land is extremely cheap. I can't let go of the opportunity.
"Yes, it's not just here. I guess the entire northern area is selling houses and land. Anyway, people will go to the inland to live, so there is no need to keep them here." This Wang Tong is nothing, according to Answered truthfully.
"Okay, it's not very useful, but for some people with no money at home, it's still very attractive.
"By the way, Lord Wang, when you see someone who wants to sell a cheap house or slave, you will write it down for me. Every five days I will ask my housekeeper to know that people with some money in my hands are not sleeping tightly. Yes, it’s impossible to repay the investment. Wang Tong didn’t understand what Li Cong said. It’s true that you have money, Lord. Now, let’s say that the house is given to them two-thirds, even one-third. It is estimated that these people will definitely be sold. They all know that the Queen of Snake has been ruthless this time. If you don't pay attention, you may die here. If you can leave early, leave early.
After visiting this city, Li Cong hurried to Guangming City. Meng Tian had already told Li Cong today’s news. Li Cong was also very strange about Situ Sheng’s actions. Does this guy have any plots? There is still no etiquette to use. It is now a war period. It is useless to ask for those imaginary ones. It is a serious matter to defeat the enemy honestly. Li Cong was very satisfied with Meng Tian’s welcome, and Meng Tian took dozens of cavalry with him. Waiting for Li Cong in a place ten miles outside Guangming City, the corresponding Li Cong didn't have many people with him, so many came from the Imperial Capital.
"Master, you are here. If this is not here yet, my heart will be abrupt." It stands to reason that Meng Tian, ​​a brave and combative guy, would not say this, but this is from him. What he said, to be honest, Meng Tian is really a little bit bottomless, in fact, as long as the enemy can't get up to the city wall, they know that they were not capable of attacking the city at this time.
"Hehe, I think you are well guarded. This city of Guangming looked like this when I left. Now I have nothing less. You are already very competent." Li Cong said with a smile, Meng Tian heard Li Cong's affirmation is also very happy.
"Although it said that, the attacks of the savages are getting stronger and stronger every day. At the beginning, they just throw stones casually, but now their humanoids are participating in the war, and they command hundreds of thousands of savages. The soldiers formed a bow and arrow army. Their bows and arrows are also very powerful. If we hadn't avoided it in time, they would definitely cause us more damage." Meng Tian picked some main things and explained it. This savage was born. They are masters of archery. You can tell by looking at their strong arms. If they want to shoot, no one is as far away as theirs, but in terms of skills, they are not as strong as their bodies. They are typical. Simple-minded brawn.
"The external enemies are easy to solve~EbookFREE.me~ I will make the people of Jingxi Daying trouble something in advance. What I worry most is that Situ Sheng, this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Li Cong Looking around and whispering, Situ Sheng didn’t dare to confront humans in Guangming City. As the coach here, Li Cong couldn’t do that. If people tell him that he is looking for another suspicion, just gossip Li. I can't mix it anymore.
"Fortunately, it's not a big deal. That Situ Sheng has been honest recently. I can see that this guy really wanted to kill the enemy when he took people on the wall to fight against the savages. These days It seems that they have a very close relationship with the letters in the imperial capital, and I also asked people to pay close attention to them, because the war has not yet started, so I can't take them apart, and now they are still a group." This is a matter of conspiracy and trickery. Naturally, Meng Tian didn’t work anymore. It had been so long and kept these people from Jingxi Daying together. If Li Cong were replaced, they would have been divided into several pieces long ago. Threatening.
"You're such a fool. In the past, the heavy-armed military was useful, but the light military was not so useful anymore. Just work honestly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome." () Subscription, rewards, and your support are my greatest motivation.)
