People use it, so we can know that making it should not be easy. " Song Lian thought thoughtfully.
Chachaqi snorted coldly and said: "When we break through Shichong Pass and take away King Duan's lair, we will also let the craftsmen make these things for us."
Speaking of King Duan, they have not heard from them for a long time, and now they are afraid to come back because of the epidemic. Otherwise, the situation in the border area will be tense, and it is impossible for King Duan, the lord of Liangzhou, not to rush back. Maybe they will all be infected with the disease, and there will be no one left, hahaha!
The author has something to say: I know you are impatient, Song Lian is about to get his lunch box. Afraid of being scolded, I will reveal it here, hahaha! Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution during 2021-03-16 15:08:47~2021-03-17 14:04:12~
Thanks to the little angel of the irrigation nutrient solution: Lan Lanzi does not eat fish 3 bottles;

159. Chapter 159
The next day, the sky was twilight, and the barbarian army outside the pass had assembled.
General Wei didn't sleep all night, anxiously watching the people in the workshop tinkering with the catapult, Huang Lao couldn't bear it anymore, so he dozed off on the recliner beside him. Don't ask too much, just let the people below fiddle with it.
General Wei was very anxious, just because Mr. Huang said yesterday that he could basically get things done in one night. But now? Except for a large pile of wood and iron parts on the ground, the prototype of the trebuchet was not seen.
Seeing that the enemy was about to launch an attack, these people were still calmly measuring with a ruler. Someone used a pen to record something on paper from time to time, or three or five people whispered and discussed something.
He finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he didn't want to disturb other people who were busy, so he had to walk to Huang Lao in two or three steps, "Huang Lao, the barbarians are already ready, why is there no sign of your trebuchet?" One?" If he knew this was the case, he should stand firm and never let them tear it down.
It is impossible for Mr. Huang to be really asleep at this time, he just closed his eyes and rested his mind. At this time, he waved his hands and said, "Why panic? Isn't there a pile on the ground?"
The pieces of wood scattered on the ground really have nothing to do with the trebuchet. General Wei's face was darkened, and it was hard to talk to Huang Lao. Huang Lao shook his head, stretched his waist, and then stretched out his hand to call a craftsman over, "Why haven't you finished it yet? It's not enough time. ? It took such a long time for such a simple thing, and it will be counted as a negative score when you go back?"
The man chuckled: "There are mainly two interns who made the wrong symbols. We have changed them accordingly. Now that the calculations are correct, we can install and integrate them right away."
Only then did Mr. Huang nod his head, "Okay, I'll give you half an hour to assemble these trebuchets, right?"
The man quickly replied, "No problem."
Only then did Huang Lao look at General Wei, "Did you hear that? Half an hour."
General Wei did hear it, and he could see the new trebuchet in half an hour, so why is it so unreliable? However, he can afford to wait for half an hour, as long as he doesn't delay important events, there will be no problem. He wants to see how these people do it.
The man agreed to turn around, said a few words to the rest of the people, everyone nodded and started to get busy. They began to divide labor and cooperate, using the miscellaneous wood and parts on the ground, and splicing them one by one. Under their hands, it didn't take long to assemble a brand new catapult.
The more General Wei watched, the more surprised he became. Within an hour, five trebuchets were in front of him. In fact, it is also simple to say, just like an assembly line, each part is disassembled to make exactly the same parts, and then can be assembled anytime and anywhere. In this way, not to mention saving time and effort, it is also convenient to use and transport.
General Wei rushed forward and touched the already formed trebuchet with his hands. It was larger than the previous ones. Although the shape did not change, there were some more tricks.
Mr. Huang walked over slowly, checked around, nodded, "Not bad."
After speaking, he said to General Wei: "This is an improved trebuchet, with a scope and a special mechanism. Bring the catapult, and our people can demonstrate it. Let them see how to operate it a few times. It will happen naturally."
Although I don't know what scope, what machine bracket and so on. However, he still believed what Huang Lao said, and quickly asked someone to find the slinger.
Their people talked with the catapults, explaining how the new catapults were different from the old ones, and what the uses of each part were, explaining clearly one by one.
The conclusion is that the new trebuchet has a long projection distance and can be aimed at. That is to say, as long as you adjust the trebuchet properly, you can hit every target you want. And the biggest change is that it used to require several people to operate, but now only one or two people can easily project.
All the onlookers couldn't help but look at the effect, and the barbarian drums outside the pass had already sounded, and all the soldiers began to take action.
General Wei was worried that Huang Lao and others would be harmed, and wanted someone to escort them back, but Huang Lao shook his head and insisted on staying here.
General Wei had no choice but to send more people to protect him, but Huang Lao stopped him and went directly to the trebuchet. Someone even took out a pen and paper to record the data.
Put the boulder into the trebuchet, the catapult aims at the position, and then shoots, and the round stone falls into the enemy army. It's not over yet, with the help of strength, he rolled out a long distance, and the enemy army couldn't avoid it, alas.
The effect was much better than before. General Wei was overjoyed when he saw the result. In this way, their hope of keeping the pass is even greater.
The prince handed over the frontier to him because he trusted him, and he must not let the prince down. He is still waiting for the prince to come back, can he bring back good news
After several rounds of throwing stones, the enemy's offensive slowed down a little. In the art of war, there is a vigorous force, and then it declines, and it is said that it will be exhausted three times. Seeing that the enemy's offensive slowed down, one fell and the other grew, Dayan's soldiers became excited, and their arrows became more vigorous.
After observing for a while, Mr. Huang nodded in satisfaction. They made this trebuchet, and they only tried throwing it a few times on the experimental site. The power and effect must not be as shocking as what they saw on the spot.
Huang Lao's eyes fell on the black iron ball they brought, he rubbed his hands excitedly, his beard curled up, and he gestured loudly to his subordinates.
This is their top priority here. Now that the performance of the trebuchet is stable and looks good, then it is perfect to experiment with this large thunderbolt.
General Wei had doubts for a long time, but it is inappropriate to say anything more at this time. They had already negotiated when they came, and General Wei was not allowed to interfere with their experiments, so they could only let Huang Lao and the others fool around with the arrangement.
Then, the thunderbolt replaced the cobblestone and was put on the trebuchet. The recorder carefully observed and recorded the data. Huang Lao was also a little nervous. Everyone in the craftsman's workshop looked dignified and dared not show their air.
"Light it up!" Huang Lao gave an order, someone had already ignited the fuze, and then Huang Lao waved his hand, and the slinger started the machine. Like the previous boulder, the thunderbolt flew out high, landed, and burst into flames with a bang. This momentum stunned everyone, what the hell is this
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the black Thunderbolt had long since disappeared. Instead, there was a big deep pit. In the smoky enemy camp, it seemed that a hole had been cracked, and there was no life on it, leaving only the scorched land of smoke and fire.
Tuoba Ren's face was ashen, looking at this scene, he seemed to see the mysterious thing that Ming Yu and the others used when they were in Xiqi Mountain. It's just that this one is more powerful than before, with a wider range of damage and stronger destructive power.
The soldiers were wailing and screaming, and they were already terrified.
"My lord, hurry up and withdraw the troops, and come down to discuss a solution." Song Lian was also extremely shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said.
Tuoba Ren's fingers trembled. After hearing this, even if he didn't want to, he could only order the troops to withdraw and reorganize.
He didn't expect that the hope he saw just yesterday would be ruthlessly destroyed today. What exactly is this? How did Dayan get it? How many are they? These questions circled in Tuoba Ren's mind, no way! He must not admit defeat, and cannot be defeated without knowing why.
The barbarian army retreated like a tide, and the soldiers who closed Shi Chongguan couldn't help cheering: "Yan is mighty!" Dayan mighty!
General Wei had recovered from his stupor, if he hadn't taken into account his status as General Dayan, he would have jumped up and down for joy.
"Great! This thunderbolt is so good! With it, we don't have to fear people! Hahaha!"
Mr. Huang supervised the people below to record the data. At this moment, he raised his head when he heard the words, cast him a cold look, and said with cold water: "Don't be too happy, we did our best to make this thing. A. Do you think this is the cabbage on the street? Is it so easy to produce?"
These words made General Wei calm down, looking at the few remaining Thunderbolts, he could count them with one hand. Feiyang's heart fell to the ground with a snap, and he couldn't even pick it up.
General Wei made a bitter face, "Old Huang, look. Can't you prepare more?"
Huang Lao shook his head, "It's not so easy, not to mention the precision of making this thing, the materials used are not easy."
Now that General Wei has nothing to say, it seems that he can save some time!
