Chapters 134 are the most lethal of pretending to be forced invisibly

A peasant picked a jewel the size of an egg and wanted to present it to the emperor, so he handed it over to the county. The prefectural order was exchanged for a golden egg and handed over to the prefect, and the prefect was exchanged for a silver egg and handed over to the governor... The last real earthen egg went to the Emperor. The emperor moved the hearts of the peasants, so he rewarded the peasants with a thousand taels of gold, and then a thousand taels became a hundred taels, and a hundred taels became ten taels. When the peasants received a tael of gold from the county, they were moved.

Although this is a joke, it reflects the normalcy of officialdom.

Five thousand taels of gold is naturally not a small amount, but for Wang Xuanqiong, who has managed Jinsha Town for nearly two years and has become Wang Shichong's gold general, this bit of gold is really nothing. In fact, Chen Ying's judgment is not accurate, he thinks that the gold in Lingbao City in the future can produce twenty tons, and it should not be a problem to produce four thousand catties per year in this era.

Four thousand catties is sixty-four thousand taels of gold, even if Wang Xuanqiong handed over most of it to Wang Shichong, the gold he intercepted in his hand should be more than five thousand taels, it should be more. After all, with the existence of that joke, Chen Ying would never believe that Wang Xuanqiong would dedicate all the mined gold to Wang Shichong, even if Wang Shichong was his father, but people's eyes were black and gold was yellow.

Hearing the figure of 50,000 taels of gold, Zhao Jiqing was stunned. He is Wang Xuanqiong's confidant, although he also knows that Wang Xuanqiong secretly concealed some gold, but it is definitely not as much as 50,000 taels, 20,000 taels is paid to Wang Shichong, Wang Xuanqiong secretly intercepted about 10,000 taels of gold, but together, it is only more than 30,000 taels, which is far less than the 50,000 taels that Chen Ying requested.

Zhao Jiqing kicked and returned to the Jinsha camp uneasily, and told Chen Ying that Wang Xuanqiong Chen Ying asked him to take out 50,000 taels of gold, in the face of Chen Ying's blackmail, Wang Xuanqiong suddenly jumped three feet high like a cat stepping on his tail: "Why didn't he rob it?" ”

Zhao Jiqing secretly said in his heart: "People originally wanted to grab it!" ”

Wang Xuanqiong once again convened the generals to discuss countermeasures.

All the generals unanimously agreed that if you want money, you will have to die. They all shouted that they wanted to fight with Chen Ying.

But before they could discuss what to do, they heard the rapid sound of war drums from outside the camp.

The reorganized Modao Army has formed a dense formation, preparing to attack the Jinsha camp.

Chen Ying surrendered two Mo Dao regiments at one time (there were only so many Mo Dao in his hand), and more than 600 Mo Dao men lined up in a dense formation and slowly launched an attack on the Zheng army's Jinsha camp.

There are two major difficulties in the Mo Knife Army, one is that the Mo knife is difficult to make, and the other is that the Mo knife hand is rare. The first difficulty is a problem of technology and resources, but with the emergence of high-manganese steel, this difficulty that prevents Modao from large-scale production has been solved. Only the Lingzhou salt mine produces high manganese ore powder, as much as more than 3,600 catties per month, which can be used to produce about 48,000 catties of high manganese steel for Chen Ying, and at the same time, it can forge about 1,000 Mo knives and the same amount of high manganese steel Mingguang armor. If there was a year, Chen Ying's workshop completely produced 12,000 Mo knives and 12,000 Mingguang armors. It is enough to arm forty Modao regiments.

Of course, Chen Ying was not satisfied with this quantity, and he also sent more than a dozen exploration teams to look for manganese ore resources in Hexi, Bashu, Guanzhong, Hedong and other places within the scope of Datang.

Once this kind of Modao Army forms a conventional branch of large-scale equipment, this kind of Modao Army that can advance like a wall, foot, horse, shoot, length, and all arms of the Modao Army can crush all the enemies around the Tang Dynasty, especially the Turks in the north, and will usher in an indelible nightmare for their lives.

In fact, the key obstacle restricting the development of the Datang Mo Sword Army is not because of the rarity of equipment, but because of the difficulty of finding talents. In order to increase the protracted combat capability of the Modao Army, Chen Ying only needs to let more than 2,000 soldiers of the Modao Army who do not have a real Modao be trained with temporary modifications and a full increase of one and a half times the weight of the Kaishan Tomahawk in the absence of Modao.

Watching the Modao Army slowly approaching, Chen Yingchong Ashina Simo and Shan Xiongxin, Zhang Anshi, Gao Feiyang and other generals said: "Although Modao is not an all-powerful army, it is undeniable that the Modao Army is still an army that is difficult to match head-on in this era!" ”

Shan Xiongxin asked suspiciously: "Listening to the general's meaning, it seems that the Modao Army also has a method of restraint?" ”

"The method of restraint? Of course there is, and there is more than one! Chen Ying smiled slightly, and looked at Gao Feiyang and Zhang Anshi intentionally or unintentionally: "The first method, in fact, General Gao and General Zhang have already experienced the taste!" ”

Gao Feiyang and Zhang Anshi's eyes met in the air, and they were speechless.

In fact, when they first started, they were actually very unconvinced. However, after surrendering Chen Ying, the two of them had to admit that the hook and sickle, whether cavalry or infantry, could easily put down the heavy and slow-moving Modao army.

However, for Chen Ying to underestimate the Modao Army so much, as a hoplite general, Zhang Anshi was obviously not convinced, he was slightly stunned, and said stubbornly: "I don't know General Chen, what else can be done to restrain Modao?" ”

"General Ben can use a crossbow!"

"Crossbow?" Zhang Anshi felt very funny, the soldiers of the two-heavy armored tomahawk battalion could ignore the shooting of bows and crossbows below three stones, even if it was a three-stone strong crossbow, unless it was shot in the neck or head, it would not be able to hurt the soldiers of the Modao Army at all.

Knowing that Zhang Anshi didn't believe it, Chen Ying was not angry. Instead, he nodded at Ashina Simo.

Ashnasimo then took a crossbow from his horse's neck.

This crossbow machine is completely different from ordinary crossbow machines, except for the crossbow string, there are no other parts on it that are the same as the crossbow machine, and even the entire crossbow machine is all made of steel.

Chen Ying lifted such a crossbow machine, slightly struggling. However, Chen Ying asked Ashina Simo to install the tripod on the ground, and struggled to put the strange crossbow machine on the tripod. Chen Ying held the crossbow machine while winding the crossbow and rotated it three hundred and sixty degrees.

"This crossbow machine is called a scorpion crossbow, the crossbow arm is six feet six inches long, and it weighs thirty-two pounds, six pounds, two and three points!" Chen Ying put the steel crossbow system into the arrow slot, and explained to the generals: "The only drawback of this crossbow machine is that it is too cumbersome, if it is carried by a single soldier, it will be very difficult, especially each crossbow arrow, weighing one catty, two or four dollars, if you also carry a pot of twenty-five crossbow arrows, a soldier, there is no way to maneuver remotely, so the general has defined this kind of crossbow machine, this kind of crossbow machine, not fighting alone, only as a support arm of the Modao Army, Responsible for covering the Mo Knife team in the face of enemy bow or crossbow shots. ”

As soon as Chen Ying said this, everyone understood. In fact, the reason why the Modao Army was lost in the era of the Song Dynasty was not because of the convenience of the Modao process, but the lack of horses in the Song Dynasty. The soldiers of the Modao Army are all mounted infantry, they are all riding war horses, and they are also one person and two horses, one horse carries the Mo knife hand, and one horse is used to carry the supplies of the Mingguang armor and the Mo knife hand. By the time of the Song Dynasty, due to the lack of horses, the Mo swordsmen could not follow the large army to maneuver. However, the lack of the Tang army was different, when the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful, there were more than 700,000 war horses in the various horse farms under the jurisdiction of the Taifu Temple, but the regular army of the Tang Army was less than 600,000 people.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty had Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Longyou, Bashu, Qingzhou, Hetao, Monan, and Mobei all suitable for raising horses. The number of war horses owned by private people is also very terrifying, (Tongdian) in fact, it is recorded that the Tang army equipped a group of six war horses in the most difficult time, and the richest Zhenguan years, a group of ten people, with fourteen war horses (average).

At this time, Chen Ying did not pull the crossbow string hard like other crossbow machines, but dragged it at the bottom (Lao Cheng didn't know why it was called such an extraordinary name), and shook a ratchet vigorously, and with the rapid rotation of the ratchet, the crossbow string was slowly buckled on the bracket.

Chen Ying took the crossbow machine to adjust the launch angle, and suddenly pulled the crossbow machine at three o'clock and one line.

"Whew......"

The crossbow bolts came out of their strings and flew towards the Zheng army camp with a scream. On the sentry tower in the Zheng army's camp, a big banner with the word "Zheng" hunting in the wind fell in response.

Shan Xiongxin was dumbfounded.

Zhang Anshi was dumbfounded.

Ashina Simo was also slightly surprised.

Chen Ying's archery skills can barely be said to be average, fifty steps to the target, can barely achieve ten arrows and seven hits, which is qualified. However, he didn't expect that Chen Ying could actually shoot at the banner in the enemy camp from 300 paces away, which was difficult for him to do himself.

A person three hundred paces away has actually become a fire rod in his sight.

Chen Ying actually wanted to say that what he was aiming at was not the banner at all, but the eye-catching big gong in front of Zheng's military camp. This large gong, which is almost more than three feet long, has a very bright center in the center, which is just right to be used as a target. Unexpectedly, it was aimed at the gong, and it hit the banner of Zheng Guo off-miss.

"The general is good at archery."

"The general really lives up to his reputation."

"The great general is really young and Yuki is alive......"

Chen Ying smiled slightly: "Coincidence"

But looking at the appearance of the generals. Apparently not convinced.

Chen Ying shook his head and smiled bitterly, pretending to be forced invisibly, that was really fatal. Chen Ying coughed, hiding his embarrassment, and continued: "This is a scorpion crossbow, which can shoot three hundred steps, within a hundred steps, the rammed earth wall can shoot six inches, and within fifty steps, you can shoot into one foot, tell me, how about the Modao Army encounter this kind of crossbow?" ”

Shan Xiongxin said: "If this is the case, I'm afraid the heavy shield won't be able to stop it." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Not only the heavy shield, even the two layers of iron armor can't stop the ......" Please pay attention to read the latest chapter
