"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, it's successful."
Eunuch Fu'an was the first to shout excitedly, followed by the anxious carpenters. The test was successful, which made them relieved.
Liu Chan ignored Fu'an and saw him walking straight towards the concrete brick wall.
"It's so scary."
When he saw that the gun head had penetrated the wall, Liu Chan instinctively exclaimed.
This is a concrete brick wall. Although the point where the gun hit happens to be the connection between bricks, it is not the same as cement.
The other soldiers who came over were extremely shocked when they saw the spear head shot into the wall. One of the soldiers even said excitedly: "This bow is so fierce that it can shoot nearly 400 steps, which is faster than the trebuchet."
The effect will be better."
"Is this fierce?" Liu Chan asked casually.
"Back to Your Majesty!" The soldier said with certainty: "If this thing is used on the battlefield, it will be more effective than the trebuchet. Generally, the trebuchet can only throw about two hundred steps, while this bow can shoot nearly four hundred steps."
, and it can also shoot into the wall."
This soldier is a royal guard. Although he has not been on the battlefield yet, he has seen ordinary siege weapons.
This was the first time he had seen this kind of bow.
This power has exceeded his knowledge.
After all, the range of ordinary crossbows is basically only one or two hundred steps. The range of nearly 400 steps is too scary.
But Liu Chan was secretly proud.
Because he knew that the bed crossbow of the Northern Song Dynasty had a range of up to a thousand steps, and in today's test, the shooting target was a concrete brick wall.
Concrete can be shot into it, but would it be difficult for an ordinary city wall?
If it weren't for this concrete brick wall.
How far can it shoot?
In short, Liu Chan is satisfied with this test.
But when he returned to the bed again, he was speechless.
"Why is this?"
Liu Chan's eyes widened, he pointed at the bed crossbow and asked several carpenters.
The carpenters immediately tensed up when they heard the voice. Listening to the emperor's tone, they were obviously dissatisfied. When they looked at where Liu Chan was pointing, they immediately understood the reason.
This crossbow is fired by actuating the trigger, which is made of wood. The soldier may have used too much force before, and the spear was shot out when he hammered it down, but the trigger was also smashed to pieces by him.
"Your Majesty atones!"
The leading carpenter hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This trigger is made of wood and cannot withstand being hit by a hammer. The slaves will think of ways to improve it."
"You should hurry up;" Liu Chan said somewhat speechlessly: "I only give you one day, and you must solve this problem within one day, do you understand?"
"No!"
The carpenter immediately agreed.
They have completed the main function of the crossbow. As for the trigger, he is confident that he can solve it.
And this is also an issue that must be resolute.
Because the tension of this crossbow is too great, once the bow string is fully drawn, the trigger can only be activated by gravity. If the trigger is directly smashed every time it is hammered down, the function of this crossbow becomes less practical.< /p>
You can't reinstall a trigger every time you fire.
After testing the bed crossbow, Liu Chan did not go back to the palace directly, but went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Jiang Wan joined the army in the Prime Minister's Mansion and welcomed Liu Chan into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"I love you, no courtesy." After Liu Chan sat down, he asked Jiang Wan: "Is there any movement from Cao Wei?"
Now for Liu Chan, Cao Wei is his focus, because he always feels that Cao Rui is a little restless, and he may use troops to Guanzhong at any time.
When Jiang Wan heard this, he was surprised at first.
I wonder why Your Majesty is so concerned about state affairs.
But Liu Chan was the emperor, and he had to answer the emperor's question, so he bowed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Cao Wei is calm at the moment. Except that Sima Yi went to Luoyang not long ago to meet with Cao Rui, the leader of Wei, there is nothing else." News."
"Sima Yi?" Liu Chan was surprised when he heard this.
This old gentleman is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In the Three Kingdoms in history, no one in Han, Wei or Wu could dominate the world, but the Sima family got a big advantage.
After the painstaking efforts of Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao and his son, Sima Yan finally replaced Cao Wei, unified the world and established the Jin Dynasty.
Moreover, according to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Sima Yi outlasted Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Of course, the contest between the prime minister and Sima Yi did not happen that early in history.
Of course, none of this matters now.
The important thing is that Liu Chan knows that Sima Yi is a very powerful character.
Just——
Cao Rui meets Sima Yi at this time?
What does this kid want to do?
"Does the Prime Minister already know about this?" Liu Chan asked hurriedly.
"Return to your Majesty!" Jiang Wan replied: "We have sent someone to inform the Prime Minister."
"Okay!" Liu Chan said again: "You must pay close attention to this person and make sure not to miss anything."
"No!"
Jiang Wan responded.
Then the two started chatting, but not long after they chatted, a middle-aged man hurried in from outside. He didn't seem to know Liu Chan, but Liu Chan could feel that he seemed to have something important to discuss with Jiang. Wan report.
Just——
The man saw Jiang Wan talking to Liu Chan, but he was a little evasive, as if he didn't want others to know what he wanted to say to Jiang Wan.
"Why don't you come and pay homage to Your Majesty!" Jiang Wan glared at him and scolded him angrily.
The man was shocked: "I am a humble minister, Chen Pei, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Get straight!" Liu Chan said casually.
After Liu Chan finished speaking, he deliberately laughed: "You have important matters to discuss, so I won't disturb you any more." After saying that, he was about to get up and leave. Jiang Wan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, and I will not do anything for you.
Hidden from Your Majesty."
"Chen Pei;" Jiang Wan said immediately: "In front of His Majesty, report the truth truthfully."
"No!"
Chen Pei responded. He seemed a little nervous, but he was a little excited in his heart. This was his first time meeting the emperor.
"Your Majesty!" Chen Pei saluted and said: "A few months ago, I was ordered to join the army and sneaked into Wu to inquire about news."
Hiss——
When Chen Peigang said this, Liu Chan was shocked.
This guy turned out to be a spy, of course a spy sent to Soochow by the Han Dynasty. At this time, he suddenly rushed back to Chengdu, fearing that there was some big news in Soochow.
"A few days ago," Chen Pei said, "Wu Jun began to mobilize troops and horses frequently. Wei Chen thought it was a normal defense adjustment, but later he discovered that something was wrong."
Liu Chan and Jiang Wan became a little nervous when they heard this.
"Lu Xun, the Governor of Soochow, was originally stationed in Jiangxia County;" Chen Pei continued: "But a few days ago, he led more than 20,000 people and went straight to Yiling."
"Wait..." Liu Chan suddenly interrupted Chen Pei and asked, "You mean Lu Xun went to Yiling?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Pei confirmed.
After receiving Chen Pei's confirmation, Liu Chan suddenly couldn't sit still.
Jiang Wan also looked a little nervous.
