"Is this what you have been doing all this time?" Li Shimin turned to Zhang Qiang numbly and murmured.
Zhang Qiang threw the tattered armor on the ground, clapped his hands, and then replied: "Yes! This is one of the results.
It was Xiao Han who proposed it, and then the craftsmen here worked together to create it! It is said that the latest Shangxuan method was used. I don’t understand the principle. I only know that the things Xiao Han painted made the master craftsmen excited.
It didn't work anymore. I stayed up for almost several days and nights before I made a prototype. Then I slowly adjusted it, and finally it became what it is now."
"Oh!" Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully and said nothing. Zhang Qiang smiled and was about to speak when Xue Shou's voice sounded next to him.
"Zhang Qiang, do you know about this thing? Do you think it can shoot directly into the city wall tower if it is time to attack the city?"
Xue Shou had just run to pull out the crossbow arrow that had been inserted into the ground, but he might not have pulled it out. When he came back, he heard Zhang Qiang introducing him and couldn't help but ask.
"No problem at all!" Zhang Qiang was quite confident in what Xiao Han had made. He pointed at the fortress in the distance and said: "When we were originally designing, Xiao Han once said a word called decapitation operation. He also said that we were all too stupid. Before the war started,
You still have to show off and talk some nonsense before the fight can begin.
If he were to take command, he would definitely greet him with a crossbow without saying a word, and kill all the generals and lieutenants. How can the enemy fight without their leader!"
"Beheading operation?" Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up. He naturally understood the principle of shooting men first, shooting horses first, and capturing thieves first. However, except for encounters, the generals on both sides were all protected by masters, and ordinary attacks could not hurt him at all.
So the words have been circulating, but few have implemented it. Now, the emergence of such a sharp weapon seems to give them an opportunity to realize it!
"It's such a waste to keep this thing here to look after homes and homes. You think we should buy a few, but it's not too much..." Xiao Lizi touched his smooth chin and said to himself.
"Of course it's not too much, what's too much?" Xue Shou was particularly angry at this cheap brother-in-law. He didn't even look at his sister whose silver teeth were almost broken, and said bitterly: "Didn't he still have a position in the Arms Department?
Providing us with weapons is a matter of course! Just give us the capital, don’t you think so, Zhang Qiang!”
Zhang Qiang smiled bitterly, tapped the fortress in the distance with his chin, and said: "Don't ask me about this, but I think this...isn't it a bit unkind?
Besides, I don’t know much about the cost of this thing. I just said once that he accidentally said that this thing has thousands of parts assembled and all are made of the best materials. I guess it would cost several hundred.
Qian Guan!"
"What? So expensive?" Xue Pan put his head to the side and eavesdropped. He almost jumped up when he heard this! One thousand guan, how much does it cost? Just get such a thing, even if you exchange this thousand guan for copper coins,
It can kill a lot of people. No wonder everyone in Chang'an said that Xiao Han was a prodigal. It was indeed true!
"Yes!" Zhang Qiang smiled at Xue Pan, and then said: "And the ones you see are all fixed. In fact, there is another kind that is installed on the car. They are all steel cars! Even the wheels are made of iron! It is said that because
It is too heavy and has too much power! The wooden one will fall apart after being fired a few times! If you want it from him, you will probably want something like this that can move."
"My God, how did he come up with such a thing! An iron cart? It has to be able to hold such a big thing! Can a horse pull it?!" Li Shimin couldn't imagine such a huge iron cart pulling a big yellow crossbow everywhere.
In the case of running, there were bronze chariots before, but they were only suitable for two armies to fight against each other. When fighting on flat ground, they were quickly eliminated because of the inconvenience of transportation!
Nowadays, the enemies are more sophisticated than each other. It is either a siege battle or an ambush battle. How could there be a time when the two sides set up their positions and fought with real swords and guns? Only fools like Liu Wenjing believed it, and ended up being beaten by others.
I almost got mad after making dumplings!
"It can be pulled. To be honest, I haven't looked at it carefully!" Zhang Qiang was busy serving his wife at that time, and really didn't have much free time to care about this. In Zhuangzi, the movable big yellow crossbow was used again.
It didn't work, and it has been stored in the warehouse ever since.
A group of people were thinking hard in the cold wind about the spectacular scene of this weapon moving, but Xiao Han, the instigator, did not have the consciousness to accompany them to blow the cold wind.
It’s such a cold day that a ghost can run so far! It’s the right thing to squat by the stove and drink hot water!
The hot water boiled from the mountain spring is very sweet, as if sugar has been put in it. After taking a sip, you look up at the few people shivering in the cold wind, and you feel comfortable, but Xue Pan also stupidly goes over to do it.
Well? You won’t catch a cold due to the cold, right?
My heart tightened, and I was about to run out and pull Xue Pan back when I saw Xue Shou draping his robe over to Xue Pan.
Feeling relieved, I continued to squat down to drink water and stir the stove more vigorously.
I don’t know what to say about a group of people in a windy place. Anyway, these guys didn’t come back until a large glass of hot water was poured into their stomachs.
This time, they didn't find it distasteful to squat and look ugly. They all surrounded him and pushed Xiao Han aside.
He was warming himself by the fire and rubbing his hands. Little Plum's face was no longer visible. The look of pain and happiness was all about him!
"Xiao Han, this thing is good, give it to me..." He was about to say cross, but suddenly saw Xiao Han's contemptuous eyes, and quickly changed his words: "Three! I don't have anything good to exchange for it now, so why don't I owe it first?
?”
This is the result of their discussion. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, ask for it first. What if it is used? They don’t plan to pay, not even the cost...
Sure enough, Li Shimin opened his mouth wide and shocked Xiao Han: "Are you here to visit or to be a robber? Why do you want everything you see? Why don't you leave with everyone?"
"Ah? You know this? It's just right, I'll save you my words!" Li Shimin pretended to be surprised and shouted, but his expression was so fake that even he couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly turned to Gouzi and said: "
Ahem, I think this guy named Gouzi is very good, why don't you join me and work hard in the army?"
Xiao Han was speechless. He was talking shamelessly about people like Xiao Lizi!
A gentleman cannot be a general or an emperor. Only those who are extremely thick-skinned and evil-minded can do this business! He can even poach someone in front of him with such confidence, what else can make him feel ashamed?
Xue Pan, whose face was turning blue from the cold, rubbed his eyes stupidly. Is this the usually gentle and gentle second prince? This is obviously a weird man who deceives children with candy!
Fortunately, the dog was still loyal. So much rice did not enter the white-eyed wolf's belly. He grinned shyly at Li Shimin and said seriously: "Your distinguished guest is joking! Ever since the Marquis has not disliked me, he has given it to me and the old man."
My mother has a safe place to stay. From that time on, I swore that this life was the Marquis’s, so I can’t accept my fate..."
"Good! You have integrity!" Li Shimin didn't find it strange at all when he heard this answer. Instead, he stood up and praised Gouzi, but then he said: "It's just that I think it's wrong for you to be a mere guard here.
!If your master allows you to go, will you go?"
"Master Hou, agree?" Gouzi lowered his head and glanced at Xiao Han, and then said categorically: "My life belongs to Master Hou. Whatever the master says, I will do whatever I want!"
"That's great!" Li Shimin clapped his hands and turned to look at Xiao Han.
"Who wants your life!"
Xiao Han was a little touched in his heart, but he didn't show it at all in front of Li Shimin. He waved his hand and said, "Go if you want. How long will it stop you from making great achievements here? If I leave you in the village, there will naturally be someone to take care of you.
If you can be a good person and earn a good fortune for future generations, your mother will also be happy for you!"
