After hearing Li Ye’s experience, everyone looked shocked!
According to the two of them, if there were 10,000 garrison troops holding such crossbows at the same time, and then shooting arrows at the same time, wouldn't that be a full 300,000?
Liu Jiancheng said silently: "I will make shields when I get back. I won't worry if I don't give each soldier a shield."
The Patriarch of the Evil Tiger: "Me too."
The vine armor soldiers under Wang Ye of Qiannan Dao were originally equipped with vine shields, so they had no shortage of armor and shields. As for Zhang Weisheng, when Ma Yi told him the news, he had already ordered people to start preparing shields.
The lives of the soldiers are also lives, and they cannot be sacrificed in vain under the rain of arrows.
Seeing everyone's expressions becoming serious, the masked man spoke.
"Although the news General Ma said is important, in my opinion, as long as everyone is prepared in advance, it may not be impossible to guard against the power of Qin Huaidao's arrow rain. I wonder why Mr. Zhang thinks this news can withstand a hundred thousand troops?" p>
The head of the Tianji Pavilion, the intelligence agency under the 18th prince, asked Zhang Weisheng.
Zhang Weisheng said: "Don't worry, everyone, this is not the news I said. Let Ma Yi tell the real news."
Ma Yi nodded and said: "Since everyone can't wait, let me continue. When we encountered the rain of arrows, I took Pu Shizhen to hide behind the carriage and escaped. When the arrow rain was over, I found the gap.
A horse came and took Mr. Pu away. Unexpectedly, a strange arrow shot through the air from behind, killing Mr. Pu with one arrow. At that time, I heard the scream and looked back inadvertently.
This glance almost made me fall into an abyss."
"It turns out that I have escaped a very long distance with Mr. Pu. That distance is enough for Mr. Pu and I to escape the range of the opponent's crossbow."
Wang Ye shook his head repeatedly.
"No, your experience seems wonderful, but in fact it is full of flaws. Since you escaped the range of the crossbow, why can you still shoot Master Pu?"
The Longyou general sighed: "This is the important information I want to tell you. At that time, Master Pu was not the only one who was hit by an arrow. After he failed, I abandoned him and fled. Just when I thought it was impossible for the other party to shoot me again,
Another arrow came through the sky, with such speed and distance, it was like a god coming from heaven!"
Everyone took a breath: "Is it so exaggerated?"
Recalling that scene, Ma Yi is still a little scared: "Do you know how far away I was from them at that time? Three thousand steps, at least three thousand steps, an arrow shot like lightning. If the distance was not too far,
They didn't hit my vital point, and it's impossible for me to tell you the news here today."
At first, everyone thought it was just a crossbow with a longer range. As long as there were enough shields, it didn't matter. But when they heard that the distance was three thousand steps, everyone was shocked.
Even though he was as smart as Zhuge Changkong, he couldn't help but stand up and exclaim: "What, what are you talking about? The range of their crossbows can reach three thousand steps? No, ordinary crossbows can only shoot four to five hundred steps at most, and they can shoot a thousand steps."
How can there be a crossbow that can shoot three thousand steps, which is the best in the world?"
Wang Ye and Dianzu, who often led troops, also knew that it was almost impossible to achieve such a range.
Ma Yi seemed to feel the fear at that time, his face gradually became pale, and his breath became much more disordered. He continued: "No, that's the truth. I didn't believe it at the time, until the arrow hit my back.
When the arrow was pulled out, I saw that a special device was attached to the arrow, and a small tube was scorched black, as if it had been burned by fire."
"Damn it, it's gunpowder, the gunpowder used to make fireworks." Even a scholar like Zhuge Changkong can't help but swear.
This idea of tying gunpowder to arrows is really perverted.
Wait, gunpowder?
Zhuge Changkong suddenly realized something.
"Since he can tie gunpowder to arrows, we can also tie it. Everyone, since we have formed an alliance, I, Zhuge Changkong, will be honest. After I return, I must try to make it as soon as possible. If any company succeeds,
Once you have made it, please share it with other forces."
"This news is far more valuable than a hundred thousand troops. Mr. Zhang, you really brought us a great gift."
With Zhuge Changkong's approval, everyone no longer doubted anything, and everyone thanked Zhang Weisheng.
"After I go back, I must let my gang of boys find all the skilled craftsmen in Qiannan Road to see if they can make this thing." Wang Ye said.
The ancestor squeezed the wine glass in his hand tightly and crushed it into pieces with a little force: "What skilled craftsmen can there be in Qiannan Province? In my opinion, it would be better for Mr. Wang to wait for me to make this thing in Henan Province, and then spend money on it."
I'll buy it, and if I'm in a good mood, I might sell you a few copies."
"You say I don't have skilled craftsmen in Qiannan Province, but you have skilled craftsmen in Henan Province? In my opinion, you and I are probably just small cards on the card table. If we really want to design and produce, the Zhuge family will not be slower than us." p>
Zhuge Changkong was not modest: "I, the Zhuge family, naturally dare to take the lead among you. I just hope that you will not hold back too much."
Seeing this, Li Ye stood up suddenly, threw away the wine glass in his hand, and ordered to the servants in the palace: "Huainan Road has given such a great gift to this alliance, and I, Li Tang, cannot be stingy. If I get the artillery blueprint, I can use it like this."
After it is made, give priority to Mr. Zhang and give him an extra 10%. It is too stingy to drink with a wine glass, so serve the bowl to the distinguished guest!"
The servants were so smart that they prepared a large bowl in the kitchen early, just in case there was a need in the palace. Soon someone not only delivered the large bowl, but also filled it all with good wine.
Li Ye picked up the big bowl and saluted everyone: "In this case, everyone, we will officially establish the Anti-Han and Restoration of Tang Dynasty Alliance today. The six armies will unite. After Lingnan Road is verified, the seven armies will be merged.
The force of the rolling torrent sweeps across the universe, returning Changan to the world."
"Sweep the inner world and restore Changan to the world!"
After a bowl of wine was finished, the gathering finally came to an end. After saying goodbye to each other, they each set off on their return journey.
On the way back, Zhang Weisheng had a smile on his face. It can be said that this alliance has gained a lot. Not only did he successfully get Li Tang's promise to become king, but he also used Ma Yi's news to get 10% more artillery, and he also made friends with all the forces.
As a representative figure, when war breaks out in the future, these relationships will be enough for him, Zhang Weisheng, to take advantage of the situation and rise.
"Ma Yi, you have made such a great contribution today, what do you want?"
Ma Yi said: "My lord has given me a way to survive. From now on, I am willing to sit on the front and back of the horse and let my lord handle me. How can I dare to ask for any reward?"
Hearing his answer, Zhang Weisheng smiled even more happily: "Having said that, how can you work under me without any status or position? From now on, you will be the Huainan Road Ranger General, starting from the fifth rank!"
