Chapter 1293 Car Crossbow

I looked at the Qiang girl in front of me and asked her, "If I don't give you money, won't you quit the army?"

"If you don't give money, it's not that you can't discuss," the girl smiled heartily: "Doesn't King Liang still have five iron floating slaughterhouses, give them to us, and we will retreat." ”

Oh?

"After you take it to Tiefutu, how do I know if you will use it to attack my Bianliang City?" I asked.

The girl replied: "King Liang, please rest assured, we Qiang people have always paid attention to promises, and we can swear in the name of our ancestors that once we get the Iron Floating Massacre, we will guarantee the withdrawal of our troops." ”

I frowned: "You're just a messenger, is what you say reliable?"

The girl blinked and smiled: "I am a close maid by King Qiang's side, otherwise, King Qiang would not have sent me to deliver the word." These are all things that the king of Qiang commanded me to answer before I left. ”

"Meaning, your real target was originally the Ten Iron Floating Slaughter in the hands of this king?" I looked at the Qiang girl in front of me and immediately guessed their intentions.

The girl was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that I would reveal their true thoughts.

She paused, and immediately admitted calmly: "That's right, the most fundamental reason why we surrounded Bianliang City was to get the Iron Floating Massacre. ”

And so it was.

"If I don't give it, you're going to be around us all the time?"

The girl gritted her teeth: "That's right. ”

I laughed and asked her, "You should know what I'm capable of." ”

"King Liang is brave and unparalleled in the world, and he is worthy of the first fierce general of the Great Song Dynasty. The girl said.

"Even if I don't have that one-horned war horse, there are hundreds of rhinoceros mounts left behind by the Xuanjia Iron Horse in Bianliang City, and I can also kill you with that rhinoceros mount. ”

I paused, observed the reaction on her face, and continued: "I guess you also saw that you surrounded my Bianliang City, and it didn't have any impact on my life in Bianliang City. And I don't think you've got much food or grass anymore, right?"

The girl's face was not shocked: "There is no grain and grass, we will rob it, although Bianliang City is strong and strong, but other cities, it shouldn't be able to do this level, right?"

I thought about it for a moment and told the girl in front of me, "You can also want Tiefutu, I also need things to exchange." ”

"What is it?" I smiled, "I'll exchange half of the Iron Float for half of your horses." ”

"This can't be!" the girl vetoed on the spot.

"How do you know it's impossible, you're not the king of Qiang. I waved my hand: "Maybe your Qiang king agrees? You go back first and ask your Qiang king." Natsu, send her out. ”

"Yes. ”

"Liang Wang ......" She wanted to say something more, but she didn't have a chance, and was pushed out by Xia.

After the girl left, I asked Wan Qiao, who was standing next to me, "What do you two think?"

Wan Qiaoyu immediately expressed his opinion: "The Iron Floating Massacre has only two functions, one is for siege purposes, and the other is for dealing with ordnance or large weapons that are difficult to move. Since the Baima Qiang people are seeking Tiefutu, there must be only two possibilities.

First, the Baima Qiang people want to use Tiefutu to attack and occupy a certain city;

Second, the Baima Qiang encountered some kind of large weapon that they were very afraid of. ”

After listening to Wan Qiao's analysis, I thought about it for a while and felt that the first one was unlikely.

To tell the truth, the Baima Qiang tribe attacked all the way from Liangzhou to Bianliang, and also passed through several cities on the way, and they had a large army, so it was unlikely that they would go around the city, and it was very likely that they had captured those cities.

The current Great Song Dynasty, except for Bianliang City, which is a hard bone, only the core of the Great Song Dynasty, Lin'an City, has a strong defense, and the rest of the cities, in front of the Baima Qiang tribe, really have no resistance.

I think they may have encountered some kind of large weapon that threatens their survival.

Large Weapons ......

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I suddenly thought of the kind of broken boat bed crossbow that I met Zhang Jun when I was at the crossing of the Yellow River before.

That kind of crossbow has a huge power, and if there are enough of them, it will be used to deal with this White Horse Qiang Clan, and it is also a weapon with great lethality.

After all, no matter how fast a horse is, it is impossible to be faster than a crossbow arrow, and that kind of crossbow arrow can at least injure dozens of war horses when shot by one arrow.

However, although the ship-bed crossbow was powerful, it was too cumbersome and took too long to load and unload, so it was mainly used on ships against ships, and it was not very useful in land warfare.

What if the bed crossbow was modified?

I immediately told Wan Qiaowei my thoughts: "Can the kind of bed crossbow used on the ship be used for land warfare?"

"Land warfare?" Wan Qian shook his head: "During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Kongming designed a war crossbow called Zhuge Repeater, which was later modified by Zhang Liang in the Han Dynasty and changed it into a car crossbow, which can fire seven sharp arrows more than one meter long in a row, which is specially used to deal with cavalry.

It's just that the crossbow is just a flash in the pan, after all, it is too easy to be targeted, limited by the direction of launch, it can only shoot flat, and you only need to use the giant shield soldier to move forward, and you can finish this weapon. ”

Crossbow?

The so-called giant shield soldiers are infantry who carry giant shields and go forward, specially used to deal with long-range weapons.

It is also very mobile, and you only need to get close to it, you can throw away your shield and draw your machete to fight in close combat.

According to Wan Qiao's statement, things like car crossbows are really suitable for dealing with the Baima Qiang tribe.

Because they don't have heavy armor, they just wear leather jackets, so their mobility is stronger, but their defense is greatly reduced.

Could it be that their enemies have made crossbows to deal with them?

"Can you build a crossbow?" I asked.

Wan Qiyu smiled bitterly: "My subordinates have only learned the art of governing the people, and this crossbow belongs to the cardinal water conservancy and the like, and my subordinates don't understand it." ”

"However," Wan Qian and I didn't beat around the bush, and spoke directly: "My subordinates think that Li Qingzhao and Li Supervisor may know." ”

Li Qingzhao was given the official title of supervising the imperial history by me, from the seventh grade, although it is not big, but for now, it is just for her to try, if she is really powerful, then use her.

"Okay, you call her in and ask. I said.

Soon, Wan Qiaoyu sent someone to call Li Qingzhao.

As soon as I told her what I had just said, Li Qingzhao frowned after listening to it: "Che crossbow? As for the technique of the pivot, my subordinates know a little bit about it, but the one who is really proficient in this technique is the famous Lu Banmen on the rivers and lakes." ”

Luban Gate?

My heart moved slightly: Could it be that the cavalry of the Baima Qiang tribe encountered the roadblock of Lubanmen?

"My subordinates have a suggestion," Li Qingzhao arched his hand: "In Bianliang City, there are many people, among which there are many capable people and knowledgeable people, why doesn't King Liang release a recruitment list and recruit talents?"

Recruiting?

That's a good idea.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. With a wave of my hand, I handed it to Li Qingzhao.
