In the evening... Luo Wen, with weak steps, struggled to carry a high stool to the edge of the courtyard wall, preparing to escape overnight. He couldn't survive the hangover. If he did it again, he would die here.
No!
Unfortunately, the beast Zhang Qiang drank so much that he finally climbed to the top of the courtyard wall with a stool. Just as he was about to go down, he didn't expect that his hands had no strength at all. It took all his strength to stabilize.
As I stopped, a small gust of wind blew by, my head suddenly became confused, my hands loosened, and I fell down from the wall!
Fortunately, his mind was a little clearer at this time, and he knew that if he fell out, he would fall back again. Luo Wen had understood the word "unlucky"...
"Plop..."
"It hurts... but it's okay. Let's go quickly. I won't come here alone next time. It's too dangerous..."
Standing up slightly tremblingly, Rowan suddenly found that there seemed to be a pair of big feet in front of him...
Luo Wentiao's mind was still in confusion, and he subconsciously looked up from his feet...
"Hahaha...Brother Luo Wen, why are you here at my house? Could it be that you are here to drink with me? Come on, Xiao Min, Xiao Min! Go and order someone to prepare dinner, and help me collect the wine from the cellar.
Move out..."
"Ah...God, save me..." Luo Wen only remembered at this moment that Zhang Qiang and Xiao Han's family seemed to be close to each other...
Luo Wen finally left. After being force-fed for two days, he swore the most vicious vow to Zhang Qiang and ran away without even daring to look back...
Xiao Han and Zhang Qiang stood on the side of the road with their hands folded and watched Luo Wen gradually run away. They sighed together, hey, this acquaintance ran away again, so much fun was lost...
When the north wind started to blow, a letter came from Li Shimin saying that he could not return to Chang'an for the time being. It was not because the war was stalemate. On the contrary, the war situation had always been clear. In order to achieve the purpose of training troops, Li Shimin deliberately replaced the veterans and let the new soldiers go.
Attacking the fortress, Longyou is like a plate of scattered sand, which is just suitable for the growth of these new soldiers.
I don’t know if it’s out of fear for the future or some other reason, but Xiao Han has stopped a lot, and high-quality iron ore is in sufficient supply. In addition, the craftsmen’s process is from raw to mature, and the output of armor is still slow.
It rose slowly.
On the other hand, the rotating shaft that Xiao Han specially explained was also developed through the joint efforts of several experts. However, the first-generation product was still a bit large. After several efforts, it was only reduced to the size of a palm and installed on a carriage, like a hanging wheel.
The two lumps look the same, which is very ugly.
However, it was ugly. The carriage equipped with rotating shafts and soft steel was now much more comfortable. When running on a flat road, there was almost no bumps. This also made Xiao Han, who was most afraid of riding in cars, finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The shaft was successful, and its derivative, the ratchet, was also developed. As soon as this thing came out, it was modified by the craftsman into the bed crossbow without Xiao Han's instructions.
The bed crossbow, also known as the eight-oxen crossbow, is said to be because the best bed crossbow requires the power of eight oxen to pull apart. It is so powerful that it is scary to think about it!
Because it is too heavy, the bed crossbow can only be installed on a cart, so it is not very flexible to use. Of course, as the most terrifying long-range attack weapon in the world, the bed crossbow is not used to shoot people at all. Just look at it.
The calf-thick arrow weighs more than 100 kilograms, and you know that using it to shoot a few soldiers is like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill mosquitoes!
Xiao Han ordered the blacksmith to make a bed crossbow as early as when mild steel was manufactured. Different from the previous bed crossbow, the bow arms of this bed crossbow were made of mild steel and did not use the traditional three-frame recurve bow.
Joint design.
Just a few pieces of soft steel of different lengths are put together. The force generated by this new type of steel is enough to instantly kill the most powerful bed crossbow. Originally, the eight-niu crossbow could be pulled apart by five people working together. Now the same five people can pull it apart.
No matter how hard I try, I can't hang the crossbow string on the hook!
When this bed crossbow was first made, everyone thought it was a waste because there was simply no manpower to work on it. In order to test its effectiveness, a large ox that was grazing on the ground was specially borrowed.
After using it for a while, I attached the crossbow to it. Just like that, the big ox was panting from exhaustion.
The test results did not come out... because the target and arrows were all broken into pieces. The idiot found a curved steel arrowhead like a twist from two hundred paces away, and a torn apart boulder...
Such power is simply astonishing, but no one can go to war with a herd of cattle. This is not a fire-ox formation!
So this stainless steel bed crossbow was only used once and then locked in the warehouse with no intention of using it again!
Now, after modifying the ordinary bed crossbow, someone finally remembered this gun, dragged it out, and hung up the ratchet. It was very good. Five people could barely pull it apart. Apart from being slower, there was no other problem. The master craftsman and his apprentice were very happy.
He ran to tell Xiao Han the good news, but was scolded by Mr. Hou who was taking a nap...
"Idiot!!! Can't you use your heads? Five people can go up to the Hyun and launch it once. How long will it take to use it a second time? We can process the ratchet, why don't we make a few eccentrics and pulleys?!"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, what the Marquis said is right. Please give me some advice..." Although he didn't understand what this eccentric wheel could do, the master craftsman, who was spitting on his head, saw what the Marquis said.
I was definitely not bluffing him, so I quickly "supported" Xiao Han and rushed to the blacksmith, and built several on the spot according to the sketches drawn by Xiao Han.
I took it to use with hesitation, and then I discovered that with just a few inconspicuous small wheels, the bed crossbow that could only be controlled by five or six people could be controlled by three people, and the rate of fire was more than doubled!
I sent a few sets of these wheels to King Qin and immediately earned a lot of rewards. Of course, I also had an additional order of 500 sets.
"Crazy! I haven't finished the armor yet. Who has time to make a ratchet for you? Fortunately, I didn't give you a spring steel bed crossbow. Otherwise, the blacksmiths would just wipe the neck!"
Xiao Han threw the letter aside bitterly and decided to ignore this little plum who always gets red-eyed when seeing good things!
Although several more people have been hired into his blacksmith factory, there are not enough people! The armor has now completely formed its own process.
At Xiao Han's suggestion, production and assembly were simply divided into two places, and some bored housewives from the farmer's house were allowed to come and assemble. This would not only earn more copper coins, but also relieve the already heavy-duty blacksmiths of a piece of work.
, why not?
As a result, more than 200 sets of armor can be produced every month. Unfortunately, no matter how many armors there are, they can't satisfy Xiao Lizi's appetite. Debt collection once a month has become the norm...
The blacksmith is getting busier and busier, the carpenter is getting busier and busier, and even the young wife and aunt in the village are getting busier and busier. Only Xiao Han finds that he is getting more and more relaxed...
Apart from going to the great court meeting once a month to show off my face and sleep with the elders of the three dynasties, I really don’t know what to do at other times...
Chang'an doesn't want to go, it's full of the smell of sex now, and we must stay away from the place of right and wrong. It's not as good as our own Zhuangzi, the sky is so blue, the water is so clear, you can go out for a walk if you have nothing to do, and the air is fresher than Chang'an.
There was one more person walking today. A heroic young man was following Xiao Han dejectedly. He was Li Jing's younger brother, Li Shentong.
Maybe after meeting too many awesome people, Xiao Han is no longer interested in Li Shentong. No matter how awesome you are in the future, are you still being honest with me now?
The dog-headed general was on duty on the other side of the river, and Li Shentong, as an outsider, could never go to that side of the river. Just looking at the increasingly taller walls and the sharper iron thorns, Li Shentong consciously walked back.
, without even looking anywhere.
Li Shentong's choice was absolutely wise. Except for the old man who was absolutely trusted by Xiao Han, no one knew that behind the high wall, there were several bed crossbows that could be called the most terrifying in the world...
"Hey, magical power, come here and see why my dog is so lethargic today?"
"That's my dog!" Li Shentong gritted his teeth and shouted to Xiao Han, who was holding a puppy in front of him!
Xiao Han didn't seem to see Li Shentong's angry look, and still caressed the puppy's soft hair leisurely, and said without looking back: "Hey, why are you so stubborn? Was this dog born in my place? You
Don’t you know that I have a rule? Everything born here will be classified as Xiaojiazhuangzi’s household registration? So this dog belongs to me from the inside out! Do you have any opinion? "
"But this big dog belongs to me!"
Li Shentong was almost angry to death at Xiao Han's irrational words. He scratched his neck and yelled: "This was born between him and that lone wolf. There was only one alive in the litter, and you snatched it away! Give it back to me quickly."
!”
"Give it back to you? Well, Xiaotong, do you know what is the best thing in the world?"
"I don't care what's best, it's mine! I worked so hard to bring it back to life, you have to give it back to me, now! Right here!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Xiao Han glanced at the angry young man with pity, and snapped his fingers: "Xiaodong, idiot, come here and teach him, what is the best thing in this world..."
Looking at General Hengha coming over with a ferocious smile, Li Shentong couldn't help but take a step back: "I, I know martial arts, I, I am not afraid of you..."
"ah……"
"Martial arts? Haha..."
Listening to the "screaming" behind him, Xiao Han chuckled and continued walking with the puppy in his arms.
In fact, Xiao Han has also studied martial arts. Indeed, in this world where the body is the first asset, there are indeed many ways to strengthen the muscles and bones. According to the old man in the auxiliary army, a strong general with weapons in hand can defeat an enemy.
Hundreds, but only if the opponent also uses melee weapons. If there are twenty people holding bows and arrows, any fierce general will turn into a hedgehog.
After hearing this answer, Xiao Han felt lost for a long time. He originally wanted to find a martial arts secret book to practice and become a knight who could fly to the sky and escape from the earth, but now it seems that he has failed.
Zhao Zilong, who entered and exited seven times, was just a stupid remark made by Cao Cao who first shouted: Don't shoot arrows, don't hurt my son Long.
This is what Zhao Zilong will say forever. Otherwise, Xiao Han really can't think of anyone in the world who can withstand the attack of thousands of arrows. Even if he can withstand it, there are still crossbows and trebuchets...
