Chapter 755 God Arm Crossbow

Cheng Chumo has fallen in love with this bite ever since he ate roasted whole lamb at Xue Yantuo last time.

I specially found a Turkic person who is very good at making roasted whole lamb.

And there is no shortage of sheep in the army, but Cheng Chumo is full of food.

Lin Xuan tasted it, and it tasted really good.

Several people chatted while eating, as for wine, of course there was no wine.

Alcohol is forbidden in the army, even if it is not in wartime, it is not allowed to drink alcohol, except when rewarding the army.

Until late at night, everyone returned to their tents to rest.

……

"Khan, with the help of Xue Yantuo, Tong'e She will be destroyed."

"That's right, when the time comes, the Great Khan will be able to unify the Western Turks and regain their former glory."

"Ha ha……"

After receiving the reply letter from Xue Yantuo that he was willing to send troops, Yuan Qi hurriedly held a banquet in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and told the leaders of the various ministries the good news.

Sure enough, the Buluo leaders all smiled after hearing this.

Of course, not everyone was very happy when they heard the news.

Ashinasheer was sitting in the corner of the tent, which was relatively dark and unobtrusive. When everyone was happy that Xue Yantuo was willing to send reinforcements, a trace of sarcasm flashed across his face.

Sitting in this position was not requested by him, but arranged by Yuan Qi.

When he brought troops to help, Yuan Qi regarded him as a savior, whether it was a banquet or a meeting, he was always seated in the upper right seat.

And since the defeat and heavy losses the day before yesterday, Yuan Qi had lost the enthusiasm for him in the past, and today's banquet directly arranged for him to be the last position.

Although Ashinasheer was angry, he didn't dare to attack.

Those tribes deliberately delayed the time to send troops, causing his plan to fall short, and they did not feel ashamed at all, but instead blamed him for the defeat of this battle.

Yuan Qi did not hold Ashnasheer responsible, not because he believed Ashinasheer so much, but because he felt that Ashinasheer still had [-] troops and could be used.

Ashinasheer felt that these people were too naive, so what if Xue Yantuo sent troops, could it be that Xue Yantuo would fight recklessly for Yuan Qi and Tong'e?
Besides Ashinasheer, there was another person in the big tent, and he didn't look happy either.

This person is Qilao Batel.

Yuan Qi was able to split the Western Turks, thanks to Lao Bateer.

Yuan Qi didn't treat his laborer Batel badly either, he made him a big householder and took control of part of the military power.

However, Qilao Batel discovered that Yuan Qi was a complete idiot.

When Ashinasheer came to seek refuge, Qilaobateer noticed that the leaders of other tribes were full of hostility towards Ashinasheer.

What this hostility comes from, Qibatel is very clear.

In normal times, it would not be a big deal if there was internal fighting, but at this time, if there were external enemies, if internal fighting broke out, it would only give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.

Qilao Batel suggested to Yuan Qi, hoping that he could beat those tribal leaders, but Yuan Qi didn't care.

This led to those tribal leaders being even more unscrupulous, even daring to deliberately delay sending troops during the war.

Afterwards, Qi LaoBaTeEr spoke again, asking Yuan Qi to punish the small tribe, but Yuan Qi rejected it again.

The reason is that now is a critical time. If some tribes are punished, they are afraid that they will have resentment and seek refuge with Tong'eshe.

Qi Lao Battelle knew that what Yuan Qi said was reasonable, but he also understood a truth, if Yuan Qi did not establish prestige and indulged him again and again, he would never be able to unify the Western Turks.

As soon as those tribes heard that Xue Yantuo sent troops, they thought they could destroy Tong'eshe, which was ridiculous.

Xue Yantuo would send reinforcements over with good intentions, just to make the Western Turks continue to split, but Yuan Qi couldn't see through this.

Qibaatel wanted to say something several times, but in the end he didn't say it, and sighed deeply.

He finally understood why Nishu was unwilling to let Yuan Qi succeed him.

Aside from thinking about the future of the Western Turks, even those familiar with it would know that Yuan Qi did not have the ability to deal with such a complicated situation, so he let Tong E set up the throne.

But now that he has come to this point, he has no way out.

……

"Ding~, congratulations to the host for successfully signing in, reward: blueprint for making the divine arm crossbow."

After the sound of the system disappeared, the detailed production method and assembly method of each part of the God Arm Crossbow emerged in Lin Xuan's mind.

Although the Zhuge Liannu and the Divine Arm Crossbow are both crossbows, they are very different.

The advantage of Zhuge Liannu is that it has a fast rate of fire and can greatly suppress the enemy's attack.

The god arm crossbow is strong in its penetrating power and range.

The God Arm Crossbow, also known as the God Arm Bow, has a body length of three feet three and a string length of two feet five. One of the weapons.Wanyan Zongbi said: "When I went to the south in the past, I saw the military weapons used in the Song Dynasty. The most ingenious ones are no more than god-armed bows, and the next ones are heavy axes. There is nothing to be afraid of outside. Now I have made them like this."

The god arm crossbow is equipped with mechanisms, but it can be fired by one person. The maximum range can reach more than 400 meters, and it can penetrate heavy armor, making the Jin army terrified.

If the Zhuge Liannu is compared to a machine gun, the God Arm Crossbow is like a cannon in an era without firearms.

However, the god arm crossbow is not very useful in dealing with nomads.

The Song Dynasty used it to fight against the Jin soldiers because the Jin soldiers at that time could no longer be regarded as real nomads. They occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun for many years, learned a lot of Han culture and skills, and were not much worse than the Song Dynasty in terms of equipment.

Even the heavy cavalry was established, which naturally required a powerful crossbow like the God Arm Crossbow.

At this time, the Turks, not to mention the heavy cavalry, most of the soldiers and horses didn't even have armor, and they all wore leather armor.

Zhuge Liannu is more useful than the God Arm Crossbow against nomads.

The disadvantage of the "God Arm Crossbow" is that the ballista is very bulky, so it is suitable for being carried by infantry or made into a ballista.

The god arm crossbow is conducive to tactics such as attacking fortifications, ambush, defending, breaking out, and stalemate.

At that time, most of the Song Dynasty was on the defensive when facing the Jin soldiers, so the god arm crossbow would cause great trouble to the Jin soldiers.

Datang used an offensive to deal with the Turks, which led to the fact that the God Arm Crossbow was not as easy to use as the Zhuge Liannu.

It's not that the God Arm Crossbow is not as good as Zhuge Liannu, but that one is good at defending and the other is good at attacking. Naturally, they have different effects at different times.

And now Datang has no time to make the god arm crossbow.

Lin Xuan was not disappointed because of this. Although the God Arm Crossbow was not useful against the Turks, it was very useful against Goguryeo, a country that combines farming and animal husbandry and lives in a city.

Lin Xuan was not a war maniac. Li Shimin would have fought against Goguryeo whether or not he offered the God Arm Crossbow, and with the God Arm Crossbow, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could be killed and injured less.

Many people may have some doubts, Goguryeo is only a small country, why the Sui and Tang Dynasties sent troops to it many times.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times and led to the destruction of the country, but Li Shimin still wanted to send troops.

Many people think that Li Shimin beat Goguryeo because the Tang Dynasty took over the Sui Dynasty, and Li Shimin wanted to destroy Goguryeo to prove that the Tang Dynasty was the destiny.
