Everything inside and outside Xianyang city was quiet.
Because they could not do anything about each other, the Han army and the Taixi army fell into a protracted confrontation.
On this day, Su Lu was reviewing military affairs books in the Chinese military tent, when Su Yun entered the tent like a gust of wind.
"Great joy, brother."
Su Yun's cheeks were full of joy, he looked at Su Lu and said.
Su Lu didn't even raise his head, he continued to review the documents and asked, "What's so great about it that makes you so happy?"
"The new flying bird is ready."
Su Yun's cheeks were flushed, and his voice was hoarse.
"I thought that the old Taoist priest you found was useless and could only make wooden kites of different sizes. I didn't expect that the old man got the advice from my brother and actually knew how to break through it. He changed most of the structure of the flying bird and made it into an inner kite.
Information conversion cabinet.”
"It's better now. This new flying bird is really powerful. Although it carries less weight, its height is far more than a hundred feet. The Thai flying bird is not enough to see at all."
Su Lu threw down the booklet, stood up, and said: "Let's go out and take a look. The real veteran still has two brushes. Last time he asked me, I reminded him to make cuts and changes. I didn't expect that."
It’s done.”
The brother and sister left the central military tent and arrived at the back camp. They saw the little flying bird parked in the open space. Compared with the original, it was only half the size of a normal flying bird, and the fuselage became much thinner. However, because it was a trial production model
, which is normal.
Surrounded by a group of craftsmen from the Ordnance Department and the generals who came after hearing the news, they were all talking nonsense.
"That's good, we no longer have to be afraid of the Thai birds."
"What are you afraid of? Once these birds are built in large numbers, Xianyang City will be ready to attack."
"Damn it, I've been holding my breath for so many days and broken Xianyang. I'm going to kill all the people in Taixi."
Amidst the buzz of discussion, Cao Rui jumped out of the bird, his face flushed red with excitement, and he walked a little crookedly.
"So high!"
This was the first sentence Cao Rui said.
In the past, the flying height of flying birds was only a few tens of meters, and not many could exceed fifty meters. Now it suddenly exceeded a hundred feet, and Cao Rui, a captain who was good at controlling flying birds, couldn't hold it anymore.
Su Lu asked and said, "Taoist Master Zhenyuan, are you sure that you can produce it in large quantities?"
The real Taoist priest's eyebrows and beard were almost laughing together, and his sleeves were almost rolled up to his elbows. Hearing this, he laughed and said:
"Don't worry, Commander, this thing can be built in a big way."
Su Lu nodded and gave instructions: "In that case, Wang Dani, the head of the Ordnance Department, will listen to the order and suspend the production of other ordnance in the Ordnance Department, and rush to the new flying birds with all his strength. The Flying Bird Battalion will be equipped with at least ten new flying birds within half a month."
"After completing the mission, everyone will be promoted to one level of honor."
Dani originally wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say it out. After being promoted to a higher rank, the salary would be an extra 2 taels of silver, which was a large amount. Even if she didn't agree, the people around her would probably agree.
Well, I definitely agree with that.
Looking at the people around her, Dani responded respectfully: "Everyone in the Ordnance Department will work hard to complete the duties assigned by the prince."
The real Taoist priest chased after Su Yun and asked with a smile: "Princess, the house you gave me is too big. Can we change it to a smaller house, and the rest will be converted into silver coins?"
Qingfeng looked at the master's face, sighed, licked his face and asked Mingyue next to him: "How much silver can we get if the princess really agrees to change?"
In the past few days, the Ordnance Department has been very busy.
After receiving the reward, the true veteran Taoist originally didn't want to work anymore, but Su Yun used some trick to drag him into making flying birds.
It originally took half a month, but I didn't expect that it only took twelve days for the cross to take shape.
The bird soldiers began to control the new type of bird. For several days, some bird soldiers could not stand the height, vomited and fainted, and even broke several birds.
However, under Su Yun's threat, the training finally yielded results. Six birds were able to lift me into the air steadily and complete the crossbow shooting.
On this day, Su Yun finished training. Looking at a dozen of his subordinates who looked like soft-footed shrimps, he stamped his feet and turned around to go to the Chinese Army.
It has been twelve days, and these people still can't fly high. As soon as they fly a new type of bird, they will have symptoms of dizziness and panic. If they hadn't had the experience of crashing the bird before, Cao Rui and the others were sent as deputies. This said
Maybe a few more birds will be broken.
It turned out that they were also able to control flying birds, and they all flew safely. That Yu Fan was even better at flying birds. I originally wanted her to take over as the new commander of the Flying Bird Camp, but now it seems that she is not of much use.
There is no solution if this continues. I wonder if my brother has any solution.
Entering the Chinese army's tent, the military meeting had just ended, and the generals were walking out one after another. When they saw Su Yun, they hurriedly saluted and said hello.
Su Yun had no intention of paying attention to them, and went directly into the account. When he arrived in front of Shuai's case, he interrupted Su Lu, who was discussing military affairs with Qian Buzhou, and asked:
"Brother, my men are weak and only six new birds can fly. Do you have any ideas?"
Qian Buzhou glanced at Su Yun and said with a smile: "Princess, don't worry, the commander-in-chief has just given the order to use the six flying birds. We will attack Xianyang in one fell swoop this time."
Su Lu gave Qian Buzhou a few instructions and told him to prepare before he spoke.
"Training bird soldiers is not easy, and such a situation is inevitable."
"In the future, when choosing a bird soldier, you can't just look at physical fitness. You also need to undergo auxiliary tests. If you are not suitable, you can't be a bird soldier."
"What about people who can't control the new flying birds? Yu Fan is my favorite. I hope she can succeed as the new commander of the flying birds."
Su Yun interrupted Su Lu and spoke in a dull tone.
Su Lu handed a military order to Dong Ling next to him and told her to execute it. He glanced at the depressed Su Yun and comforted her.
"The flying birds are just like the ballistae. There can be transport birds, combat birds, high-altitude birds, and low-altitude birds. It is safe to overturn Yu. If a transport bird battalion or a low-altitude combat bird battalion is established in the future, he can be the commander.
."
Su Yun then laughed. In this case, it was not impossible.
A military affairs brochure was suddenly handed to him, followed by Su Lu's words.
"Take a good look at the combat arrangements for this time. Prepare to launch a general attack on Xianyang City at dawn tomorrow. First, use the low-altitude flying bird battalion to shoot at the west of Xianyang City with rockets and destroy the Taixi Army camp."
Su Yun frowned: "But the Bird Battalion can't stop the Taixi people's ballistae at all. If they fly over the city, they will be shot down by the ballistae."
Su Lu took a look at his level 3 crossbow artillery card. The crossbow artillerymen had wasted countless arrows these days. Finally, he saw his achievements. The crossbow artillery cards in his hand were all level 3.
With the support of these military cards, the Taixi's ballistae is simply not enough.
Su Lu said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. I have built a batch of new ladders at the same height as the city top, specifically for storing our ballistae. There will not be one at the top of Xianyang City before dawn tomorrow."
