Chapter 380 Continuous harvest of grain and more horses
Su Yun finally became the driver of Bird Six.
Dani was the deputy lieutenant, and the two of them controlled the Bird Six and flew around Wuyuan City, announcing the success of the Bird Six.
The next step was Su Lu's large-scale imitation. Based on the existing Flying Bird Model 6, the Ordnance Department disassembled the parts, drew a drawing, and then called in skilled craftsmen to process the parts according to the drawing.
Two months later, the first replica of the Bird 6 was finally polished by hand.
On this day, the replica took shape.
Su Lutong took all the generals from Wuyuan to the Ordnance Department to participate in the test flight of the first replica.
Su Yun was still the driver and Dani was the lieutenant. They drove the replica and flew into the sky, then stopped steadily in the yard.
Su Lu asked Su Yun who emerged from the bird:
"This imitation can shoot arrows, why can't I see you shooting arrows down from high altitude?"
Su Yun's claws were a little numb. She really didn't know about this, and she only cared about flying birds in his sky.
Dani nodded and said: "We also copied the weapons, but there were no suitable candidates, so we didn't install arrows."
"Do we need the right person to control the arrow launch?"
Su Lu looked at Dani.
Dani's cheeks turned red and she was about to speak when Roland, wearing Han Chinese clothes, rushed out from behind and said:
"Prince Qi, the firing of arrows also requires the control of inner breath. If the person who urges the arrow to fire does not have enough inner breath, he will not be able to hold on if he fires the arrow twice."
Su Lu nodded, that was indeed the case.
Turning his head, Su Lu ordered Su Ping: "Give me the order to select masters from the army. Masters with strong inner breath are required. They will not compete with martial arts, but only fight with inner breath. Anyone who can control this set of arrows to fire more than twice."
, were all selected to serve as deputy lieutenants of the Bird Soldiers."
Cao Hua asked and said: "Your Majesty, how should this treatment be determined?"
Dani's eyes brightened up next to her. Yes, she had already learned how to fly birds for so many days, so why hadn't the prince mentioned increasing his salary?
Su Lu glanced at Su Yun next to him and gave instructions.
"Then compare with the salary of the imperial guard camp. The salary of the flying bird soldier is based on the rank and silver of the rank below the seventh rank. The driving deputy lieutenant is from the seventh rank. The weapons deputy lieutenant is from the seventh rank. The rest of the personnel are based on the same.
Guard camp."
Dani's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this. She was working in the Ordnance Department, and now she was transferred to the Flying Bird Soldiers as a deputy lieutenant. Her salary doubled instantly, and including her ninth-grade title, her family
My life suddenly became easier.
Su Yun next to him said dissatisfiedly: "This treatment is too bad. The flying bird soldiers are the most important weapon of the country. They are so powerful in flying in the sky. They have more money than those in the imperial guard camp. If the money is about the same, I might as well continue."
Work in the imperial guard camp and be a useless bird soldier."
Su Lu smiled: "If you don't do it right, you make the decision yourself. Anyway, I think it's best if you don't do it, so I don't have to worry about you."
"Send my military order to continue imitating, and classify the tasks according to these albums."
"The barbarians will definitely capture the capital of Qin this year. Even if Qin is not destroyed by then, life will be very difficult, and these Five Plains will no longer be a good place."
"I want that when the barbarians arrive next year, in the sky, the birds of my Han country will cover the sky and the sun."
Cao Hua looked curious at the side: "Master, is it true that barbarians eat meat? Is there really something that eats human flesh?"
Before Su Lu could speak, Lu Zhan next to him answered.
"Of course it's cannibalism. Those barbarians never bring food with them when they march. They eat wherever they go. All they eat are living people."
Cao Hua, Su Yun, and Dani all looked at Lu Zhan in surprise, not believing that there were really cannibal barbarians.
Roland yelled from the side: "I've told you before, you are barbarians, cannibals of human flesh, what are you not barbarians?"
Gao Dabao picked up the sheathed sword and pointed it towards Roland's butt.
"Fart, I don't even eat raw meat, so how can I eat human flesh? Don't scream here, you're disgusting."
Roland rubbed his buttocks and glanced at Gao Dabao fearfully. Then he realized that he was still a Thai under supervision and was different from them. Then he looked at Dani who was smiling like a flower, and her heart suddenly felt warm again.
The next day, Su Lu was handling military affairs in the study when Lu Zhan came in with a military report in his hand and his face was pale.
"Your Majesty, the Qin State Army reported that after the Battle of Western Liaoning, the Qin Emperor took the lead in escaping. The Qin Army was defeated like a mountain, the Qin State's western border barrier fell, the gates in the pass were wide open, Luyang, Qihe, and Hangu Pass were lost one after another, and the barbarians ravaged the Qin State.
Force the capital of Qin."
"Qin, it's over."
Lu Zhan, who was holding the military newspaper, had his arms trembling, and this man from Qindu had tears in his eyes.
Su Lu took the military report, took a look at it, and frowned. Is the Qin State all useless? They are like trash. He left behind a fully trained spear battalion and cavalry battalion. The Emperor of Qin could just flee first.
The general also ran away!
If the army has no morale, it will naturally be defeated like a mountain.
All the cities in the pass, including the city in western Liaoning, were not even prepared at all. All the officials of the Qin State should die.
Lu Zhan looked at Su Lu expectantly: "Your Majesty, can this Qin country be saved?"
In Lu Zhan's heart, he is a Qin person after all. Although he is now under the command of the prince, he can't help but watch the Qin people being slaughtered by the barbarians and the former Pao Ze becoming the blood food of the barbarians. Lu Zhan's hands can't help but tremble.
Su Lu glanced at Lu Zhan and asked in a deep voice: "If you go, what will happen?"
"Let's do this. I will let the newly formed Bird Soldiers cooperate with you to go deep into the Qin Land and withdraw as many Qin people as possible to the Five Plains. As for your Qin Army Robes, if there are any who want to come back, I don't mind them entering the Five Plains.
This is now also the land of Qin."
Lu Zhan knelt down on one knee, his face lit up, and his voice was excited: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will complete this mission without risking my life."
Looking at Lu Zhan's back, Su Lu reminded: "Remember, don't be bitten by the barbarians, and don't let the bird soldiers go into battle easily, otherwise it will attract the attention of the Taixi people, and the barbarians will use all their strength to deal with us, then you should know that it will
What's the end?"
Lu Zhan responded respectfully, then turned around and left.
Su Lu looked at Lu Zhan's back and fell into deep thought.
Today is really a disaster. The barbarians in Qin are raging and have great potential to defeat the Qin State. If the Qin State is overthrown, these five plains will not be protected.
On the other side of Qingjiang, the Qi State Military Intelligence Department was wreaking havoc. Although Xie Wan was good at handling the troops, he had no experience in dealing with Xi Zuo. Now he was just blind, making Qingjiang's defense line almost a decoration.
The Tang Army's Shangshan Jiedu Mansion now also looks ready to take action, with a large number of troops sent out of Shangshan to avenge the previous year's revenge.
The current situation is really unfavorable.
The Bird Soldiers and their own guards must withdraw from Wuyuan. Although this is their own fiefdom, it will also face the frontier of Tang and barbarians in the future and must not be defended.
Ma Ping accompanied Chang Ning into the study. When Chang Ning saw Su Lu, he knelt down on one knee.
"The general has met with the prince. His majesty ordered the general to come and ask the prince to preside over the harvest celebration in the south."
When Su Lu heard this, he glanced at Changning: "Harvest celebration? Get up and talk. When did this Laoshizi harvest celebration happen?"
Chang Ning stood up and said crisply: "Last year and this year, there were two big harvests of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Our Han people no longer suffer from hunger. The bosses and sages from all over the country have written letters and want to hold this harvest celebration."
Ma Ping said next to him: "Your Majesty, Commander Changning came here this time and brought 300 good horses. They are all fat and strong Qingkou. They are well trained. Our cavalry is getting stronger and stronger.
In future battles with Tang Dynasty, I will no longer be afraid of his cavalry army."
