After hearing this, Chai Yan asked: "General Pang, are you really interested in what I'm talking about?"
Pang Zhenbei nodded firmly and said: "Really! Such a powerful weapon, I wish I could have more, so that those Pitz national dogs can suffer."
Chai Yan suddenly thought of an idea, smiled slightly and said: "General Pang, I just came up with a good idea. Even if there is no iron or stone, I can build enough throwing weapons."
Pang Zhenbei was very excited and asked hurriedly: "Taoist Master, what good idea have you thought of? Can you tell me about it?"
Jimo Qiao also suddenly became interested and looked at Chai Yan's face seriously.
Chai Yan said: "General Pang, there are many bamboo forests near the military camp. We can cut down the bamboo and sharpen one end of the bamboo to make a bamboo javelin!"
"Yes! This is a good idea, why didn't I think of it?" Pang Zhenbei suddenly became excited. He raised his hand and hit his forehead, but his face was filled with joy.
Chaiyan continued: "Usually, the bamboo javelin is a little lighter, and its lethality is smaller than big rocks, rolling logs, and these flying hooks, but when it came to the Pitz country's attack on the pass,
One day, the soldiers must have drank the sacred water of martial arts, and when they throw the bamboo javelin with their increased strength, the lethality will be different!"
"Yes, that's right!" Pang Zhenbei agreed and added: "The most important thing is that it saves money to use bamboo as a javelin. The bamboo forests nearby are everywhere, and it can be said that there is an inexhaustible supply.
Inexhaustible, hahaha..."
Speaking of this, Pang Zhenbei laughed heartily.
Throwing weapons used for defense have always been an item that Fan Xingwang and Pang Zhenbei attach great importance to. However, making rolling logs requires large trees of a certain thickness, and then the trees have to be cut down. After the cutting is completed, they have to be carried to the pass. These two
The project requires a lot of work and time-consuming.
In addition, it goes without saying about huge rocks. Digging suitable rocks is more troublesome and laborious than cutting down trees, and the rocks must be transported up to be useful. The key is that it consumes a lot of manpower and time, and the defense efficiency is not high enough. Time cost and return
It's simply impossible to be directly proportional.
But the bamboo javelin is different. There are a lot of bamboos in the bamboo forest. After they are cut, they are sharpened on the spot and then transported to the pass defense city in bundles. It does not take up space and can be used at any time. It saves time.
Save effort and money.
Pang Zhenbei already had a smile on his face: "Taoist Master, this is a great idea. I will tell General Fan soon, and he will definitely agree with it."
Chai Yan nodded and added: "But General Pang, you have to prepare boulders and rolling logs. The best way is to use various weapons and tactics in combination."
"Yes, what the Taoist Master said is absolutely true!" Pang Zhenbei agreed very much.
After talking about bamboo javelins, Pang Zhenbei went back to count the numbers.
Jimo Qiao no longer kept such a distance now, but followed Chai Yan and continued to visit the items in the warehouse.
As he walked, Jimo Qiao picked up a long wooden pole. The top of the wooden pole was inlaid with a chisel, and the shape looked a bit unique.
"Brother, what is this?" Jimo Qiao asked puzzledly.
Chai Yan looked at it carefully, and based on the knowledge gained from surfing the Internet and reading books in the past, he said with certainty: "This should be a fork pole!"
"Fork pole?" Jimo Qiao repeated.
Chai Yan took the fork pole from Jimo Qiao's hand and demonstrated the movements while saying: "The fork pole is a tool that can not only resist the enemy's use of flying ladders to climb the city, but also kill the enemies climbing the city. When the enemy's flying ladder is close to the city wall,
When, the defender’s
A person can use the chisel blade at the front of the fork pole to resist the flying ladder and push the ladder down, or when the enemy climbs halfway up the wall, use the fork pole to push down the ladder and chop with force, relying on the strength of the fork pole.
The cross blade can also kill many enemies."
"Oh, so that's how it is used." Jimo Qiao nodded again.
When Chai Yan put the fork lever back into place, Jimo Qiao pointed at something again and asked, "What about this one? What is this used for?"
Chai Yan looked at it intently and didn't say anything for a long time. Finally he shook his head and said, "I really don't know this thing..."
Jimo Qiaowen's weapon is a round wooden pillar about half a foot in diameter and half a foot long. The whole body of the pillar is densely packed with nails. The nails are about a few inches exposed from the wood surface. In addition, there are also holes drilled at both ends of the log.
Two longer iron chains were pierced, and I don't know what they were used for.
Pang Zhenbei seemed to have heard Chai Yan's words, so he walked back and took a look, and immediately said: "Oh, this, this is called 'Little Yaksha', and it is also a tool used to defend the city."
"Xiao Yaksha?" Chai Yan didn't quite understand, so he asked, "General Pang, how do you use this thing?"
Pang Zhenbei was very happy and immediately stood next to the 'Little Yaksha', pointed at it and said: "When the Pitz people attack, we will throw the Little Yaksha down. When the Little Yaksha falls, he can knock down the ladder.
After the people smashed the two chains, the people on the city pulling the two chains immediately pulled back. In this way, the enemy who was still on the ladder would be crushed again and repeatedly thrown down and pulled up. No one
You can stand on the ladder."
After hearing this, Jimo Qiao had a picture in his mind, so he said: "But this thorny log is so heavy. It would be too laborious to throw it down and pull it up again, right?"
"Yes." Pang Zhenbei nodded and said: "Everything else about Xiaoyaksha is good, but it is too laborious to use. You have to have at least four at a time. Otherwise, you will be exhausted after just a few people coming back and forth...
"
Then, Pang Zhenbei added: "But it's fine now. As long as there is the help of the Taoist Priest's martial arts holy water, this little yaksha should be easy to do. Even the big yaksha will have no problem."
"Where is the big yaksha?" Jimo Qiao asked in surprise.
Pang Zhenbei responded: "Of course there are, there are small ones and big ones! But the big yaksha can't go up to the pass, so it's useless here, so it's not transported here..."
Pang Zhenbei also told them that the log used by Big Yaksha was one or several times thicker than that of Little Yaksha. The traction force behind the chain was not human power, but a machine with a winch. A person only had to stand on the winch.
By turning the handle beside the wheel, the log can be pulled up. At the same time, the lethality is much higher than that of Xiaoyaksha.
After listening to Pang Zhenbei's words, Chai Yan said: "General Pang, after the road to Pass Fangcheng is built, maybe your big yaksha will come in handy."
"Yes, I hope it can be used." Pang Zhenbei said excitedly.
.............................
After coming out of the warehouse, Pang Zhenbei hurriedly went to find Fan Xingwang. He hoped to tell Fan Xingwang the idea of the bamboo javelin quickly and start production immediately.
Although Pang Zhenbei also invited Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao to meet Fan Xingwang, Chai Yan still declined because he still had to go back to the camp to refine medicine.
Jimo Qiao followed Chai Yan to the camp, and suddenly said on the way: "Why do I suddenly feel that this guy who cleans the latrine is not as annoying as he was at the beginning?"
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Pang Zhenbei, he is indeed loyal to the emperor and the country. His problem is that he looks down on those with lower status and strength than him. Think about it, since I put him in the martial arts arena
After tidying up and being docile, he has never had any trouble until now, right?"
"That's true, this guy just needs to be dealt with, I'm afraid someone will be more arrogant than him, haha." Jimo Qiao laughed.
Chai Yan smiled and said: "It's not strange, it's human nature."
Jimo Qiao walked quietly for a while, then suddenly looked around and asked in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, do you think we can hold on when the Pitz people attack again?"
Chai Yan thought about it seriously, then stood firm and said, "To be honest, I'm really not sure about this, but there is one thing I can be sure of."
"What?" Jimo Qiao asked hurriedly.
Chai Yan's expression was extremely serious and he said seriously: "I can bring you back to Huaidu and back to your parents safely!"
Jimo Qiao suddenly felt warm and nodded vigorously: "Yes! I believe this!"
