Chapter 444: [Artifact]

Views:

Xue Poye sat on the side of the bed, fed the little fairy and drank the freshly boiled medicinal juice, then handed the medicine bowl to the green lady beside her, and said softly to the little fairy: "Little guy, after drinking this medicine, your The disease will be cured soon, and I can walk around in the field.”

Xiao Lingxian's usually bright face is now quite haggard. With Xue Poye's help, she lay down and said rather weakly: "Big villain, will I...will I die? There was already...a few days ago... Many people have suffered from a disease like mine, and they all... all died...!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xue Poye pretended to be displeased and said, "The medicine you just took is a panacea for curing diseases. Once you take a bite out of your stomach, I guarantee that you will be fine tomorrow." Looking at Xiao Lingxian's haggard look, Xue Poye felt very uncomfortable. This little guy is unaccompanied now. Although the people in Qinglianzhao also regard Xiao Lingxian as their own family, those people in the world cannot give Xiao Lingxian real warmth after all. In the future, I still have to take good care of myself, Shen Shen gently stroked Xiaolingxian's hair, and said softly: "You know, I always keep my word, I say you can be well, you will be well, If it doesn't work out, I'm a big bad liar."

"You...you are a big villain!" Xiao Lingxian smiled.

"Oh!" Xue Poye pretended to be serious: "Do you dare to say that I am a big villain? I am the Generalissimo. If you say that about me, I can spank your ass. Are you afraid?"

The green lady heard the word "spanking", thinking that Xue Poye had done such a thing when she was in love with her, she couldn't help but her face became hot, and she said in her heart: "This little enemy, I don't know how to speak. Xiao Lingxian also teased like this, hey...!"

Although Xiao Lingxian was weak, she still gave Xue Poye a look and said, "If you dare to spank my ass, I will bite you."

"Are you a puppy?" Xue Poye curled his lips: "You like to bite people so much."

"You are the puppy!" Xiao Lingxian immediately countered.

"Okay, okay, I'm a puppy, so you can be a little pig." Xue Poye said helplessly.

"I'm not a little pig either, you're a little pig." Little Fairy said excitedly, "You're still a little wolf, a little sheep, a little chicken, a little duck...!"

"Little Fairy!" Xue Poye said solemnly, "You must not call me a duck, this... this is not good!"

How could Xiaolingxian be afraid of him, and immediately said: "You are a duck, you are still an ugly duck, duck, duck, quack quack!"

Xue Poye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but fortunately Lady Lv had come over and helped Xiao Lingxian cover the quilt, and said softly: "Little Lingxian, don't make trouble with him, you just took the medicine, take a good rest, maybe you wake up, your body The illness is cured, come on, be good, go to sleep."

Xiao Lingxian also listened to Miss Lv's words very much, made a face to Xue Poye, closed her eyes and rested.

Xue Poye heaved a sigh of relief, stood up, walked to the tent door, and opened it slightly. It was already dark outside, and another day passed. The night in the northwest was windy and sandy, and cold. Compared with the temperature during the day, How much difference.

In order to prevent the strong wind from the northwest from blowing up the tents, the Chu army's tents were built extremely strong, with heavy stones to pull the lines.

"Are those medicines enough?" The soft voice of the green lady came from behind.

Xue Poye took Lady Lv's hand, hugged her gently in her arms, and said softly: "Wang Shizhen has collected dozens of carts of medicinal materials. I don't know how he did it, but it is really thanks to him. The medicinal materials have already been sold." Handed it over to Ming Xu, he confirmed that the medicinal materials are enough to deal with severe cold and heat, so there must be no problem."

"That's good." Being held in Xue Poye's warm arms, the green lady felt a sense of relief in her heart, enjoying her man's caress, and said quietly: "Little enemy, if I can always be in your arms in the future, then I should How nice."

Xue Poye kissed the green lady's bare face, and said softly, "Sister, do you still want to run away? In this lifetime, you will never be able to escape from my arms."

The green lady said softly: "The eldest wife and younger wife in your family are all staring at you, you and I...!"

Xue Poye knew what she meant.

This era, after all, is a feudal era. Although it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, the status of women is also different according to the order of entry. Nowadays, Xiao Suzhen can be regarded as a regular wife, and Yuezhu's status is lower. Marrying Mrs. Lv again, the status of Mrs. Lv is lower than the two of them, so Mrs. Lv has to worry about whether the existing second wife in Xue Poye's family will accept her from the heart if she really gets married.

Xiao Suzhen comes from a famous family, she is dignified and noble, Yuezhu is also gentle and pleasant, and the green lady is born with a charming appearance that reverses all living beings. If people who don't know the details only look at the surface of the green lady, they define her as a perverted vixen character However, with Xiao Suzhen and Yuezhu's dispositions, they don't know whether they can live in harmony with this "fox spirit".

"Sister, don't take these mundane etiquettes to heart. My wife is the woman I love deeply, and you are also my darling. I will be in great pain if anyone of you is missing." Xue Poye Hold the green lady's hand tightly: "Don't worry, in my heart, no one is more important than the other. I will love each of you deeply and take good care of each of you."

The green lady nodded slightly, and said: "I know that you treat me sincerely, as long as you have me in your heart, I will be satisfied."

The two of them stopped talking, feeling the peaceful and warm atmosphere.

That night, Xue Poye and Lv Niangzi were upside down in the handsome camp. Needless to say, the phoenix, the clouds gathered and the rain dispersed, and the two hugged each other tightly.

"Sister, you're so kind." Feeling the amazing elasticity and smoothness of Lady Lv's tender body, Xue Poye said sincerely, compared with the shy second wife at home, Lady Lv is more open and cooperative. They also have a tacit understanding, which makes the two deeply enjoy the joy of love.

"You are also... very powerful." The green lady had a sweet face and a charming face.

Xue Poye is very clear that the fusion of flesh and desire is an important part of the love between men and women. If the combination of flesh and desire is not harmonious, it actually means that there is a huge gap between men and women.

Caressing the smooth back of the green lady, and then touching her sensual and elastic buttocks, gently kneading and pinching, it is extremely comfortable.

"Little Enemy, you... How do you plan to arrange Qinglianzhao and that group of people in the future?" The green lady asked softly.

Xue Poye murmured, and after a while, he slowly said: "If they really want to live a good life, they must disband and lose their ideals... Don't worry, for those who really want to live again, I will make arrangements for them." where to go."

"It's hard for you!" The green lady pressed her face on Xue Poye's chest, and said softly.

After a while of silence, the green lady asked again: "Have you figured out a way to attack the city? I see that the morale of the soldiers is getting lower every day. If you don't want to find a way, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Xue Poye smiled and said: "The water source in the city is cut off. Although our life is not easy, Mingyue King and the others may not have a good time. Don't worry, sister, the artifact I want should arrive in two days. Let King Mingyue and the Northwest Army see how powerful our Chu army is."

"Sacred weapon?" The green lady asked curiously, "What kind of divine weapon?"

"There are two artifacts." Xue Poye grinned, and his hands were already on the beautiful chest of the green lady: "One is a siege artifact, you will know it when it arrives." Going over with his ear, he whispered: "There is another one. An artifact, it's on me, it's used to heal you."

Lady Lv was startled, and immediately understood the meaning of the words, and spat lightly.

"Come on, let this artifact of mine show its power." Xue Poye laughed loudly, turned over and pressed onto the snow-white body of the green lady, and a new round of sprinting began again.

After a night of spring breeze, in the early hours of the morning, someone outside the tent said: "Marshal, Marshal, someone from Kyoto is here!"

This sound woke up Xue Poye, who had just fallen asleep, and hurriedly got up, covered the quilt for Lv Lady, and said softly: "Sister, you rest first, I'll go out and have a look." He kissed Lv Lady on the forehead, and then Put on the armor, tidy everything up, and then go out with a knife, only to see Yang Yijun waiting outside the tent.

Xue Poye immediately asked: "Someone from Kyoto? Who is it?"

"I asked. They were from the Lugong camp. More than two thousand soldiers came from Kyoto to protect them. They brought twenty large carts. I don't know what they are, but they look heavy, and the wheels are deeply sunken. .” Yang Yijun reported.

"My artifact has arrived." Xue Poye cheered, extremely excited.

Yang Yijun couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the general's appearance, and the guards guarding the camp were also very surprised. These days, he only saw the general's full of thoughts, such joy, which is really rare.

"Commander, you...!" Yang Yijun looked at the commander with some concern. Could it be that the pressure has been too much these days, the commander just woke up and was still in a dream.

He kept saying "magic weapon", could it be that he dreamed about it in a dream

"Take me there quickly." Xue Poye took Yang Yijun's hand: "Where are they now?"

"Now settled in the back camp." Yang Yijun said hurriedly.

At that moment, the two of them galloped to the rear camp, which was the camp of the siege troops. It was located behind the army, and there were many strange and huge siege weapons.

Seeing the marshal coming, the battalion officer hastily stepped forward to salute.

Xue Poye didn't say much, and went straight to see the people coming from the Lugong camp in Jingdu. Then, led by the camp officer, he came to a relatively open place where more than 20 large vehicles were parked. A big cart is pulled by two extremely strong horses. It can be seen that the things on the cart are really not ordinary heavy.

Xue Poye saw at a glance Xiao Su Gun and Gattuso who were resting at the side, and there was another person smoking a pipe, whoever it was.

"Master!" Xiao Su saw Xue Poye with his sticky eyes, and hurried forward to meet him. Gattuso and Qiaoshou Zhang hurriedly followed behind, and the three of them arrived in front of Xue Poye. , Kneeling together: "Caomin see the commander in chief."

Xue Poye laughed and said: "Get up, thank you for your hard work." He stepped forward to personally help Qiaoshou Zhang, and said with some respect: "Sir, please get up, this time it's all up to you."

Qiaoshou Zhang smiled and said, "How does the commander-in-chief know that we will definitely succeed?"

Xue Poye smiled and said: "There is no one who doesn't believe me, Mr. Zhang is ingenious. The nickname of this ingenious Zhang is not false. I have seen it with my own eyes."

Qiaoshou Zhang sighed: "If you talk about ingenuity, the commander deserves it. Such a thing can be conceived by the commander, and the grass people really admire it. Don't worry, the commander, I will completely follow your instructions for these things." With the blueprint you gave me, I have carefully thought it out and tried it, so it can be regarded as a great success."

"Okay!" Xue Poye smiled and clapped his hands.

Qiaoshou Zhang led Xue Poye to the side of the cart, saw more than 20 large carriages were covered with thick canvas, Qiaoshou Zhang pointed to a carriage and said: "Open it."

Several soldiers immediately stepped forward to cut the rope and opened the canvas.

Everyone looked at the things on the car in surprise, with doubts on their faces.

On the car was a huge iron pipe, which was cold and shiny. At first glance, it looked like a large smoking pipe. For such a thing, the *Chu people could only be full of doubts.

Xue Poye stepped forward and stroked the iron pipe. This is the "earth cannon" that he has always wanted to develop successfully.

It is said to be a "earth cannon", but it is really earth. Compared with the later barrels, this kind of earth cannon is too simple. Regardless of the accuracy of the barrel density and the rationality of the length, there are huge problems.

But Xue Poye understands that in this era, the emergence of such a new type of weapon can be said to be a huge leap in productivity.

"A total of ten gun barrels." Qiaoshou Zhang said: "The remaining thirteen carts are all loaded with shells, a total of 130 shells, and the capital is still making shells. If necessary, the next month should And make a hundred shells."

The titles of "barrel" and "cannonball" were naturally chosen by Xue Poye.

"Sir, how about this, let's try a shot first, let me see the power." Xue Poye is looking forward to it.

Under the surprised eyes of all the soldiers, the gun barrel was lifted off the car and set up in the open space, with the gun barrel facing the open sandy land in the distance.

Xiao Su swiftly loaded the cannon ball like a black ball, lit the torch, handed it to Xue Poye and said, "Commander, this first shot should be tested by you yourself."

Xue Poye took the torch and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm here to fire the first shot." Looking around, everyone's eyes were staring at the barrel, and he thought: "Wait a minute , you guys are going to break out in sweat!"

The torch is lit on the medicine guide, and the sparks of "sisi" spread rapidly on the medicine guide.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise. After everyone heard this violent noise, they saw yellow sand flying in the distance, and a huge deep pit appeared.

"Protect the commander!" Yang Yijun yelled, drew out his saber, and stood beside Xue Poye: "The enemy has an ambush!"

The soldiers immediately became alert, "chokechoke" drew out their knives, and guarded Xue Poye's surroundings, looking around, looking for the enemy's trace.

A very clever general said: "Commander, general, this... I'm afraid it's not a surprise attack by the enemy. The last general thought... thought it was thunder." He pointed to the deep hole in the sand facing him with experience. Wa said: "Commander, please look at the general, the deep pit cannot be done by manpower, it must have been struck by the thunder of heaven, which made such a pothole."

"That's right, it must be thunder." Immediately, some soldiers agreed.

Those deep potholes, in the eyes of everyone, can't be done instantly with manpower, unless they are legendary super warriors, but those super warriors probably have no interest in coming to the northwest of Cang Liao.

All the soldiers were talking about it, but Xue Poye sighed with a wry smile: "Don't be suspicious, it's made by a cannon." Xiang Qiaoshou Zhang said: "Sir, please tell them about it." Walked to the pothole.

Xue Poye was not happy with the success of the cannon test. On the contrary, he was quite dissatisfied with the effect of the cannon.

The power of this earthen cannon is absolutely shocking in this era. If it bombards the enemy a few times, it can definitely cause fatal damage. However, compared with the power of the real cannon that Xue Poye knows, that But the difference between cloud and mud.

From a certain point of view, the damage caused by the earthen cannon is at least 60% less powerful than the giant artillery of the Qing Dynasty that Xue Poye is familiar with. The most important thing is that the attack distance of this earthen artillery is less than two kilometers , Compared with the long-range missiles of the later generations, which are often tens of miles, hundreds of miles, or even thousands of miles, I don't know how far behind they are.

But there is one thing he is very clear about. Today's technical means are probably at their limit. If they want to continue to increase the power of the earth cannon, it will take time to study it slowly.

But under the current situation, obviously there is not so much time.

Xue Poye had to worry, could such an outdated cannon really blast away the extremely solid Yongzhou city gate made of black iron

Qiaoshou Zhang's explanation obviously stunned the soldiers. They stared blankly at this seemingly insignificant iron pipe with unbelievable eyes, and they couldn't imagine how powerful it would be.

Soldiers who have used cold weapons to fight for a long time obviously cannot accept such a weapon that is almost like a demon in their hearts.

After a long time, Yang Yijun finally stepped forward, reached out and touched the cannon barrel lightly, but quickly withdrew his hand and said, "It's cold."

As a result, the surrounding soldiers stepped forward one after another, touching it with great interest.

"General, with this thing, can we blast open the city gate?" The clever general asked again.

Xiao Su Gun at the side said triumphantly: "City gate? Of course, this thing can blast open the sky."

"Really?" Everyone looked at him.

Boom? This is a big deal.

Xiao Su's face turned red, knowing that he was bragging too much, and said awkwardly: "It's still being built, and there will always be a bomb that explodes."

"It turns out that this thing is a cannon." Yang Yijun admired, his face full of admiration.

The clever general hurriedly said: "General, I just heard from the commander-in-chief that this thing is called a cannon!"

"En." Yang Yijun nodded: "Such a big thing is of course called a cannon. By the way, I don't know if there are small cannons."

"General, have you seen that this thing is somewhat similar to the thing in our crotch." The general said with a smile: "The thing in our crotch can be called a small cannon."

"Not bad, not bad." Yang Yijun laughed and said, "There are small cannons below us, and the city gate is in the crotch of the girls. When we use the cannons to open the big city gate, we will use the small cannons to bombard the crotch of the girls." Small city gate, haha...!"

All the soldiers suddenly laughed.
