Datang: After Self-Explosive Time Travel, Li Er's Mentality Collapsed

call out

Shhhhhhh

Under the gate of the Imperial City Beishe.

In the training ground dedicated to the imperial guards.

An arrow pierced the space with a sharp piercing sound.

In the blink of an eye, it has already disappeared into the distant target.

on the other side,

The relatively short arrows flew towards the distant target at an extremely fast speed.

The twelve arrows were all shot out in less than six counts.

Although the arrow is small, it also carries the piercing sound of cutting through the air.

Moreover, the power of these arrows is also extremely terrifying.

Although there were twelve arrows, only two hit the target.

But this terrifying attack speed made Li Shimin, who was watching from the sidelines, dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, a divine weapon! This is a divine weapon..."

"Although it looks ugly, it can hit a three-pointer and pull it up. It's so light! It's amazing."

"A bow with wheels is so easy to use?"

"This crossbow is a real magic weapon. Once you pull it and let it go, a crossbow arrow will fly out. And its range is not the slightest weaker.. If you are fighting against the Turkic cavalry, before the two sides charge into battle, give them so many round, I'm afraid most of them were killed before they even arrived!"

"It's a trivial matter for the cavalry to fight! If the infantry intersects, then this thing is simply a nightmare."

"Comfortable, really comfortable. If we had this equipment when we fought the world, we would be worried!"

Listening to the subordinates in the ear talking about after getting the model last night.

When the three or four bows and crossbows made by the foundry department overnight had such a high evaluation.

Li Shimin, who was in charge of checking the test results, frowned tightly.

A bow is a good bow, and a crossbow is also a good crossbow.

But the biggest problem right now is.

The manufacturing process is really too complicated.

Especially the pulleys and bow body on the bow and crossbow.

Just using traditional solid wood is not enough for "zero three zero" to meet the needs of bows and arrows for range.

As for the three or four experimental products in the hands of Li Jing and the others, they were manufactured by hundreds of people from the entire foundry department overnight.

The material is one thing, this kind of weird bow and arrow.

If it weren't for seeing that it was indeed amazingly powerful after it was installed with a bowstring.

No one even associates it with bows and arrows.

After all, the structure of this thing is really weird.

"Your Majesty, why are you still frowning when you get this artifact?"

Because she was not good at fighting, Fang Xuanling, who didn't end up testing new weapons together, was keenly aware of the sadness on Li Shimin's face.

He also hastily asked.

Logically speaking, the technology obtained from Chu Ze should be perfect.

Why does His Majesty look unhappy at all?

"Weapons are good weapons, but they must be manufactured."

Li Shimin looked down at Cheng Yaojin and others who were enjoying themselves after getting the new toy.

He shook his head helplessly.

"Today, when the foundry department came to deliver the test products, I already told me about it. Whether it is the bow or the crossbow, the casting process is extremely complicated. There are still ways to solve the problem of materials.

"But the speed of this casting, I am afraid that it will not be able to meet the requirements of the army's equipment before the war."

"The technology is brand new, and the previous craftsmen's experience in making bows and crossbows is completely useless."

"If you start from the beginning, it will take at least ten days to make a bow completely. If you want to learn the crossbow, it may take twenty days to really learn it."

"Besides, the arrows used in this bow and crossbow are different. Especially the crossbow and arrow sky have to be remade...

"I'm afraid it's too late in time."

The more Li Shimin talked, the more impatient he felt.

With such a powerful weapon, he obviously already holds it in his hand.

But it's not really usable..

This feeling is simply more uncomfortable than nothing.

At least if not, I won't miss it..

"Is it a problem with the production process? This is indeed a problem!"

After Fang Xuanling heard what Li Shimin said.

He also frowned slightly.

Human power.

This question is indeed somewhat difficult.

"Your Majesty, this weapon is really good. If this battle is equipped with 3,000 crossbows and 100,000 arrows, and 20,000 longbows are given to the future, then the chances of winning this battle will be increased by at least 60%!"

When Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were still worrying about production capacity.

After trying out the weapon for a while, Li Jing ran towards this side with a flushed face.

He served as the main commander in chief of this battle.

The statistics of these wartime materials and personnel are naturally clear.

Three thousand crossbowmen.

It can be used as a trump card all the time.

The power of this crossbow lies in its terrifying firepower.

If 3,000 people shoot down in a volley, at least 30,000 crossbow arrows can be tilted out within three breaths.

And just now he tried it himself.

If the crossbow arrows are clamped with bamboo pieces in advance and tied around the waist.

After a box of crossbow arrows is emptied, it takes less than one breath to refill it with twelve rounds of crossbow arrows.

That is.

Although these 100,000 crossbow bolts sound like a lot.

But if it actually fights.

It's almost 20 breaths or so, and it's straight to the sky.

To put it mildly, regardless of the cost.

This trump card crossbow army can only fight one battle..

Li Jing was already asking the price very carefully.

otherwise,

He actually wanted to call out to prepare a million rounds of crossbow arrows.

I was just worried that if I called out this number, His Majesty would scold people.

"3,000 crossbows...100,000 arrows. 20,000 longbows...pharmacist. How dare you open your mouth like a lion!"

Li Jing originally thought that he had uttered very few bids.

But he didn't think of it.

His price has far exceeded what Li Shimin can accept.

"Uh...Your Majesty, how about 10,000 longbows? If the soldiers are divided into several groups, each of them is equipped with 3,000 bows with wheels, and the others are equipped with our original hard bows...it is not impossible. .”

"As for the crossbow arrows... Your Majesty, this is really indispensable! The terrifying thing about this crossbow lies in its firing speed. A box of crossbow arrows is twelve rounds. Three thousand crossbows, one round will cost more than 30,000 shots A crossbow arrow has been fired!"

"You can't have twelve bolts for each crossbowman, can you?"

"Then isn't it the same as nothing?"

In the matter of armaments.

As soon as Li Jing mentioned it, he had a bitter expression on his face..

This cannot be less.

Of course, he is still thinking about the three thousand crossbows he wanted.

If this thing is compiled and piled up.

Just thinking about it, Li Jing felt his scalp go numb.

Three thousand crossbows fired continuously, and the arrows covered the sky like locusts all over the sky..

And those cavalry of the Huns, because their own iron smelting technology is not developed enough.

Except for a few elites, most of them are light cavalry.

And the arrows of this continuous crossbow are relatively short.

It has limited lethality against heavy cavalry, but against light cavalry, it is simply an artifact!

In this battle, Li Jing was fighting the East Turks.

At that time, the three thousand crossbows will be swung forward.

The opponent's cavalry only needs to start charging.

That's where the food comes.

After a round of continuous arrow rain, why don't you run away with your head in your arms?

At that time, if the cavalry of one's own side launches a charge again.

That would definitely be a one-sided massacre!

So compared to the pulley bow, what Li Jing wanted most was the pulley crossbow.

This thing is definitely a serious killer!

"Hey... Pharmacist. It's not that I'm reluctant to give you weapons."

"Soldiers go to battle to kill the enemy, to fight for their lives. Naturally, I also think that my Tang's armor will win this battle without hurting a single person."

"But you have to know...how did this crossbow come from..."

As soon as Li Shimin mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration.

In fact, he has always felt that Chu Ze is a kid from later generations.

That is to say, they are a little more knowledgeable than them.

no big deal.

Sometimes, he even felt that there was something about this guy who was fooling him.

Like that messy thing.

What egg can be so scary?

A direct salvo can wipe out millions of troops!

This million-strong army, just standing together and forming a formation would have to be sent out for dozens of miles, right?

What weapon can be so powerful?

He simply didn't believe that such a thing could exist in this world.

However.

Early this morning, he heard the casting department talk about it.

This weapon, if not for the two princes explaining it on the side.

Even if they get the model, they may have to think about it for half a month before the sample comes out.

This was also the first time Li Shimin felt a sense of powerlessness.

And now, even if someone can make these weapons.

But still can't achieve mass production.

This made Li Shimin feel unprecedented fatigue.

There was a knife in his hand, but he found that the knife was not equipped with a handle.

Can't use it at all.

"Pharmacist... I won't hide it from you. The crossbow (can only give you three hundred at most, and you may not even have three hundred. And the bow... is less than three thousand at most."

"However, Arrow Zhen can give you some more."

"This is the limit of what I can do."

After hearing Li Shimin's counter-offer.

Li Jing, who was originally full of enthusiasm, now seemed to be suddenly poured a basin of ice water in the dog days.

I can't say I'm cold, can I?

At least it was cool.

Now he really wants to complain to Li Shimin.

Your Majesty, you can haggle the price, but you can't cut it from scratch!

I asked you to wipe the zero, but I didn't let you wipe the zero directly!

"Your Majesty... these three hundred crossbows and three thousand longbows, aren't you embarrassing me?"

Li Jing didn't even want to use the word "final general" anymore.

good guy

You let us have a look at the new weapons early in the morning.

Here we are, right?

And I tried it out myself.

Not to mention, the new weapon is absolutely appropriate.

We have even included this weapon in our tactics.

Figured out how to take it to the battlefield to kill the Quartet.

The result is.

You tell me this is an experience product..

Just for you to see.

Who can bear this taste?

"Pharmacist, it's not me who is embarrassing you now, it is you who are embarrassing me! This technique is completely new.

"Before, no one in this world would make this kind of crossbow,"

"To put it into use in large quantities, do we need to re-educate the craftsmen?"

"This teacher

Does Takumi need time?"

"It is naturally impossible to be proficient in the newly learned technology. Will the casting speed not increase?"

"There are hundreds of craftsmen in our foundry department. After trying and exploring day and night, they finally made two or three of these."

"That's three thousand, twenty thousand. Where can I make it for you?"

"With such a powerful weapon, does the craftsmanship need to be kept secret? If it is to be kept secret, it is impossible to summon folk craftsmen to learn it?"

"You don't want to see your best weapon of death appear in the hands of the enemy one day in the future. And it will make you run away with your head in your arms!"

Li Jing was full of complaints.

Why isn't he Li Shimin?

On the battlefield, the soldiers who died will be given pensions!

He naturally thought that his side was well equipped.

The opponent who was killed had no power to fight back.

In this way, the own side not only preserves its strength, but also expands the results of the battle.

But the reality is right in front of us.

He is also very disappointed!

"Uh...Your Majesty, why are you still arguing?"

When Li Shimin and Li Jing, the two monarchs and ministers, complained to each other for weapons and equipment.

Cheng Yaojin ran over with a crossbow in his arms.

"It's nothing, it's just that although this crossbow is easy to use, due to some problems, the output may not be able to keep up. I am discussing with the pharmacist how to deal with this matter.

He looked at Cheng Yaojin who was running over with his crossbow in his arms.

Li Shimin also sighed.

The more he said this, the more powerless he felt.

This is the first time for him to feel defeated because his technology can't keep up.

"Hey! I'm still talking about a big problem! Isn't this a trivial matter? Your Majesty, Xuanling. You can't do anything about it, can you?"

Cheng Yaojin, who ran over with a crossbow arrow in his arms, heard the question raised by Li Shimin.

He was taken aback for a moment, then laughed softly.

In the smile, there is actually a bit of ridicule.

One by one, they always say that we are old Cheng Hanhan.

It's a critical moment, you guys, why are you not as good as our old Cheng?

"Huh? Zhijie. Don't talk nonsense! The matter is very important at this time. Be careful that your majesty will punish you for the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Fang Xuanling looked at Cheng Yaojin, who was playing tricks.

He hurriedly said something to remind him.

His Majesty is worrying about that right now.

You are playing tricks at this time, isn't it just hitting the muzzle of the gun?

After a while, His Majesty will get angry, and you can't bear to walk around.

"Hey, it's just such a small matter, I see you are worried. We have a solution to this matter, but before that we have to mention something. The bowstring of this crossbow is not very durable. Just now

I only shot about a hundred times, do you see how the bowstring has been worn?"

"I think so. A crossbow needs to be paired with two strings. Otherwise, it would break suddenly on the battlefield, and that would be a big joke."

After hearing this question from Cheng Yaojin.

Li 4.1 Shimin's face darkened immediately.

Good guy.

This is already worrying about the fact that the output cannot keep up.

You're here to add a little more burden, aren't you?

Two extra strings..

With a crossbow, you still want to shoot more than a hundred rounds on the battlefield?

If it is equipped with 3,000 crossbows, it will cost 30 to 40 million crossbow arrows, right?

Where are you going to make so many crossbow bolts for you...

"This problem, I will let the foundry department solve it later. But, now you tell me first. How to deal with things that cannot be made with bows and crossbows.

"I've already told you. This matter is related to military orders! If you give me nonsense, don't blame me for punishing you."

Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Shimin who looked serious.

He also knew that His Majesty was serious.

However, fortunately, he didn't play Baolai this time.

Rather, he really knew how to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that too! These two kinds of bows and crossbows are all technology obtained from brother Chu. Now that we are in trouble, we still can't deal with it."

"Then we can't deal with the troubles. Wouldn't it be better to just throw it to someone who can deal with it?"

"We can't solve it anyway, why worry about it here?"

"Your Majesty, do you think my method is a solution?"

After listening to Cheng Yaojin's rascal words, which were obviously to shirk responsibility.

However, the three of Li Shimin all looked at each other.

Although what Cheng Yaojin said was somewhat irresponsible.

But it seems that this is not a way to do it!

If they can't solve the problem, why not give it to someone who can solve it?

"Zhijie! I take back those words that called you a fool all these years ago. You boy...that is not stupid at all. You are so wise and stupid!"

"Your Majesty's words, the old man also agrees. The way of knowing the festival is the way to return it."

"Then let's not wait any longer. Hurry up and get Brother Chu Ze!"
