Chapter 260

Tang Yin didn't have the patience to listen to Xuanwang's wordiness, he raised his head to the side and said, "Let's try the power of your army-breaking crossbow first!"

"Yes, my lord!" Xuan Wang agreed, found the crossbow machine of the broken crossbow, and then waved his hand to call over the five soldiers, and asked them to work together to pull the crossbow string apart. The five soldiers looked at each other, spat at at each other's palms, rubbed their hands, and pulled the strings together, only to hear the sound of crunching and tightening of the strings, and the long strings were slowly pulled apart.

Later, Xuan Wang asked three crossbow arrows to be taken out from under the carriage. The volume of the broken army crossbow is large, the crossbow arrows are also thick and long, each one has the thickness of Chengren's wrist, and the arrows in front are wrapped in steel skin, which are extremely sharp, he asked the soldiers to put three crossbow arrows on the crossbow machine, aimed at the dense forest in the distance, aimed at it for a while, and then suddenly pulled the crossbow machine.

At the same time, the three crossbow arrows flew out together, and the ear chakra heard the distant woods click, click and make two violent crisp sounds, people hurriedly raised their eyes, only to see two crossbow arrows respectively shot into the trees, and its powerful force directly penetrated the old tree body that the three people could barely hug.

"Huh?" look, there was an exclamation and inhalation sound in the crowd, such a distance, even such a thick tree can shoot through, how much strength is there, not to mention that ordinary armor can't resist it, even a spirit warrior covered with spirit armor can't withstand it!

The army-breaking crossbow really lives up to its name, and it does have the power to break the army. It is not difficult to imagine that when the enemy and us engage in a frontal battle, your own side will suddenly use the broken crossbow to attack the enemy's phalanx, and you will immediately be able to shoot their camp into chaos, so that your side has established an advantage before engaging the enemy in close combat.

Tang Yin looked at the crossbow arrows in the distance, his eyes lit up, his eyes kept turning, it was obvious that he was also surprised and delighted by the power of the crossbow of the broken army, although the crossbow was a little bigger, it was not convenient to transport with the army, but it did have its powerful attack power. After being silent for a long time, he said to Xuan Wang with a calm expression: "Master Xuan, try your city-breaking crossbow again!"

Xuan Wang smiled at Tang Yin and said, "My lord, you can't use the woods to try the city-breaking crossbow!"

"Why?"

"Because it's so powerful, you can't see its effect if you only use trees as a target. ”

"Oh?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "So what does Master Xuan think should be used as a target?"

Xuan Wang turned around, pointed to a mountain wall in the distance, and said, "Use the mountain rock as the goal!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and they all felt that Xuan Wang's tone was too big, and the power of the crossbow machine was too great, and it couldn't shoot through stones, right?! Tang Yin was also incredulous, he asked, "Master Xuan means that it can penetrate stones and shoot into the mountain wall?"

"You'll know if you try it, adult!" Xuan Wang said with a smile on his face, full of confidence.

I'd like to see if you're exaggerating or if you're really doing something! This time, there is no need to look for someone, Tang Yin has already waved to his subordinates and said, "Pull the strings of the city-breaking crossbow open!"

"Wait a minute!" Xuan Wang stopped Tang Yin, who looked at him puzzled, Xuan Wang smiled and said, "My lord, the city-breaking crossbow can't be pulled by manpower, it has to be pulled by horses!"

"Huh?" Tang Yin was stunned at first, and then understood, no wonder when he came, Xuan Wang had to prepare the horses by himself, it turned out to be used for pulling crossbow strings, but what kind of crossbow had to be pulled by horses, this was incredible. The people around him also had the same idea as Tang Yin, staring at Xuan Wang intently.

Xuan Wang commanded the soldiers, gathered all the five war horses prepared by Tang Yin in advance, and then took out the hemp rope, tied one end to the crossbow string, and tied the other end to the five war horses, and finally he ordered the soldiers to beat the horse's buttocks together.

With the sound of the whipping, the five horses were in pain, and they moved forward in unison, and their forward movement also tightened the hemp rope and slowly opened the strings of the city-breaking crossbow. At this time, Xuan Wang asked people to carry out the crossbow arrows of the city-breaking crossbow.

This crossbow arrow, thicker than the crossbow arrows of the three broken crossbows combined, looks like a large tree stump, and it takes two people to carry it together to move.

The soldiers laboriously put the crossbow arrows on the siege crossbow, Xuan Wang stepped forward, checked it, and confirmed that there was no problem, then he bowed his hand to Tang Yin and said, "Now the adults only need to cut the hemp rope, and the crossbow arrows can be launched." ”

When Tang Yin heard this, he walked over slowly, stood still in front of the hemp rope, looked down at the tight rope, and then looked at Xuan Wang, suddenly shook his shoulders, and the scimitar appeared in the palm of his hand, and with the wave of his arm, with a click, the hemp rope was cut in two.

As soon as the hemp rope broke, the open crossbow string immediately bounced back, and the wooden stake on top of the crossbow machine flew out with a buzz, like a black lightning bolt, flying straight towards the mountain wall.

Click!

When the stake hit the mountain wall, there was a deafening loud noise, and the steel arrow in front easily smashed into the stone wall and plunged deep into it, so force that even the ground trembled three times from its impact. At least one-fifth of the long wooden stakes penetrate into the mountain wall, as if a dead tree had grown from the mountainside.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was dumbfounded, all of them were dumbfounded, and they couldn't speak for a long time, including Tang Yin. The power of this crossbow is far better than that of the Broken Army Crossbow, and even ten times greater than it, such a strong force, I dare not say that it can penetrate the city wall, but it is definitely no problem to shoot through the arrow battlement.

During the siege, the defending side of the city is hiding behind the arrow battlement, and with this weapon, the personnel behind the arrow battlement will also be fatally wounded, which is too beneficial for the besieging side. Tang Yin was the first to come back to his senses, looked around at the people present, and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Lord Xuan's siege crossbow and army-breaking crossbow?"

Everyone woke up from the shock, and involuntarily shivered, looked at each other, and said in unison: "Great, harmful!"

Liang Qi's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Tang Yin, and said: "My lord, General Yuan and I will go to attack Tongmen, if we can bring Lord Xuan's army-breaking crossbow and city-breaking crossbow, we can get twice the result with half the effort!"

He didn't open his mouth to ask Tang Yin for these two things directly, but just explained what benefits Tang Yin would have if he was equipped with them.

Of course, Tang Yin also understood that equipping Liang Qi with these two kinds of crossbow machines would undoubtedly greatly increase his combat effectiveness, he pondered for a moment, turned his head and asked Xuan Wang: "Lord Xuan, how many crossbows have you made in total?"

Xuan Wang cautiously stretched out three fingers.

Tang Yin wondered: "Three of each?"

"No, sir, it's three!"

Tang Yin was secretly angry in his heart and glared at him fiercely.

There are only three in total, and even if it is equipped with the Sanshui Army commanded by Liang Qi, it is difficult to play an effective role. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and then asked, "In a month's time, I give you enough manpower and materials, how much can you make?"

"Oh...... If this were the case, there would be about thirty of each type of crossbow. ”

"What if we made crossbows together?"

"Back to my lord, it's relatively easy to make crossbows, as long as there are enough people, it shouldn't be a problem to make two or three thousand more in a month!"

"Okay!" Tang Yin nodded, and said with a smile: "I'll give you a month, 3,000 crossbows, 300 crossbows for breaking the army and 30 crossbows for breaking the city, if you can complete it on time, I will be rewarded, if you can't complete it, you will have no credit for developing the crossbow machine." ”

Xuan Wang hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "My subordinates must do their best!" In fact, he didn't attach much importance to merit and rewards, as long as Tang Yin could provide money, places, and conditions for him to continue to develop more crossbow machines. His interest and hobby was only the development of crossbow machines.

Tang Yin also made sense to give him a month, he calculated in his heart that if everything went well to Du Ji this time, it would take almost a month to go this time.

When Xuanwang experimented with the crossbow machine, Xiao Na was also on the sidelines, and she was also afraid of its power, this kind of crossbow machine was actually a sharp weapon for breaking Besa's heavy armored cavalry, if the two sides were fighting, the Tianyuan army would use the army-breaking crossbow or even the city-breaking crossbow on a large scale, and the slow-moving heavy armored cavalry would have to become a live target.

Fortunately, Besa has now reconciled with Tang Yin, and there is no war, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. Shauna was secretly glad in her heart that her father had made the wise decision to negotiate peace.

After testing the crossbow machine developed by Xuanwang, after Tang Yin returned to Huaiyang, he immediately ordered that Xuanwang be given sufficient manpower, and everything he needed would be satisfied as long as he had it. Tang Yin's style has always been vigorous and resolute, he will do what he says, and he will never delay what he promised.

After this time, Tang Yin really attached importance to Xuan Wang, and even set up a department specifically for him-Ordnance Department, of course, this is a later story.

The next day, Tang Yin and Xiao Na set off on the road and went to Du Ji, accompanied by the three brothers Shangguan Yuanrang, Yuan Wu, and Yuan Biao, the first team of dark arrows led by Cheng Jin, and five young nobles such as Brian and Gray on Besa's side, plus Tang Yin and Xiao Na's accompanying guards, there were more than 100 people in the group.

Although Duki borders the Wind Country, there is no road between them, and the border is full of deep mountains and bad waters, which is impassable at all, so you can only pass through Guannan County and Tianyuan County first, go north into the territory of Besa, and then go to Duki by Besa. The road is far away, not to mention thousands of miles, but fortunately, everyone is skilled in riding, and there are fast horses from Mozambique, which greatly shortens the delay time on the road.

Tang Yin and his entourage waited for the wind to eat and sleep, and traveled all night, and it only took four days to enter the territory of Besa.

Having Shauna with her can indeed save Tang Yin and others a lot of unnecessary trouble, at least no one dares to stop and interrogate them when they enter Besa with weapons.

The further west you go, the hotter the weather, the more sparse the grass on the ground, and when you reach the border between Besa and Duki, you can no longer find a single grass on the ground, and as far as the eye can see, there is a blank and boundless desert everywhere you look.
