Chapter 278

After learning how to use the telescope, Fang Qiang began to discuss business with them.

Da Ma Jin Dao sat on the main seat, and said: "How about it, let's talk about it. We will attack Hengjian Mountain in two days. Is there any way to minimize the casualties?"

Both Xu Da and Chang Yuchun are well-known generals of the generation, but they really have no choice when it comes to Hengjian Mountain. This place is too dangerous, even if they want to break their heads, they can only attack by force!

"My lord, the terrain of Hengjian Mountain is dangerous. There is no other way but to attack by force. Besides, we only have more than 2000 troops, while Hengjian Mountain has nearly 2 troops. No matter what, the chances of winning this battle are not great..."

It was Chang Yuchun who said this, he was a straightforward person, he didn't like to keep anything in his heart, and he was the only one who dared to tell the truth.

In fact, Fang Qiang didn't understand this truth. 2000 people attack 2 people, and they still have a city to defend. This is simply a dream.If Zhu Yuanzhang's example had not been written in the history books, he would not have believed it anyway.

That's right, that's what Zhu Yuanzhang did on Earth. He took down Hengjian Mountain with less than [-] troops!

"Night Attack Yuan General Zhang Zhiyuan in Hengjian Mountain, and received [-] of his dead!"

This is how it was written in the history of the Ming Dynasty. There are only two simple words in the combat method-night attack!
I have to say that this record is a bit of a trap, because even if Fang Qiang followed suit, he didn't have details.

However, since Zhu Yuanzhang can do it, Fang Qiang has every reason to believe that he can do it too!After all, his soldiers are more elite and their weapons are more sophisticated!
However, there has never been such a thing as [-]% in this world, so just in case, Fang Qiang made some necessary preparations.But these preparations should be kept secret for the time being, and they will not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary!
Fang Qiang glanced over the crowd with his eyes, and stopped on Chang Yuchun. He said, "Brother Chang is right. The city of Hengjian Mountain is tall and heavily guarded. It is really not suitable to attack by force, so I decided to attack at night! That's it! Alright, this battle can only succeed and not fail! Attack the day after tomorrow night, let’s go prepare!”

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed and went to prepare.Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Shao Rong, Tang He and others are all loyal and unparalleled. Since following Fang Qiang, they have no complaints or regrets.

Now that the young master has made his decision, what else is there to say, the worst is to die on the battlefield!
Ding Dong!

Not long after everyone left, Fang Qiang heard another notification sound in his mind.

System prompt: A new task appears.

Task [-] (main line): Occupy Hengjian Mountain
Task reward: 2% [Zhu Yuanzhang Halo]

Task 1 (branch line): The army reaches [-] people.

Task Reward: One chance to draw a lottery, with [-] plane points.

I go!Looking at the two tasks in his mind, Fang Qiang's heart was pounding. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He must complete both the main line and the branch line!
In a word, in this war the day after tomorrow night, only victory is allowed and no defeat is allowed!
Thinking of the above, Fang Qiang felt that there was no bottom in his heart, so he walked aimlessly in the army, and somehow came to the craftsman camp.

Craftsmanship is a very important unit in the battalion. Feather arrows, weapons, siege vehicles, and ladders in the army are all made by this unit.

"Hi handsome!"

The battalion commander of the craftsman battalion saw Fang Qiang coming and greeted him cordially. He would never forget who gave him a bowl of food for this poor man, so Fang Qiang's eyes were full of gratitude!

"you're good too……"

Fang Qiang nodded to the other party and exchanged friendly greetings: "What's your name?"

Fang Qiang had some impression of the person in front of him, but he just couldn't remember his name.

"As for the commander in chief, the villain's name is Du Lu..."

Du Lu was originally a blacksmith in Zhangjiabao, and he worked with Fang Qiang because of his skills.

This Du Lu is also a hard-working man. He offended the Dazhai Lord when he was in Zhangjiabao, so he was thrown into death row. According to the Dazhai Lord's intention, this Du Lu would have to be executed the next day.

But on the second day, Fang Qiang brought someone to call, and Du Lu was successfully rescued.After that, out of gratitude, he recommended himself to build weapons for Fang Qiang. Fang Qiang saw that he was a talent, so he made him the battalion commander of the general.

Fang Qiang could tell that Du Lu was an honest man, so he patted him on the shoulder and said some words of encouragement.

Du Lu only felt that his shoulders were a little lighter, and the eyes that looked at Fang Qiang were also full of enthusiasm.The status of blacksmiths in this era is not high, so the respect Fang Qiang gave him is especially commendable.

Fang Qiang didn't notice Du Li's eyes, his eyes were attracted by a strange machine next to him.

It looks like a crossbow, but it is much bigger, and there are four wooden wheels under it, so it is more appropriate to call this thing a ballista.

"Marshal, I made you laugh. This is the eight-ox crossbow made by the villain according to the ancient picture. It's just that the power is not as good because of the incomplete materials..."

"What? You made this thing?"

Fang Qiang looked at Du Lu with surprise in his eyes. He knew that this old boy was a talent, but he didn't expect that he could even make a crossbow!
Yes, this ballista-like thing is called the eight-ox crossbow. You can tell from the name that it takes the power of eight cows to wind this crossbow.

Of course, this is just a metaphor, in short, this thing is very powerful!

Du Lu didn't know why the commander was so surprised, but he was indeed the one who made this thing, so he admitted bravely, "Commander, although this eight-ox crossbow is powerful, it is far inferior to the returning cannon of the Tartars. , so it is rarely used in the military now..."

"Who said that?"

Fang Qiang's voice suddenly rose a little.

"The Tazi's return artillery is nothing more than a larger trebuchet. Even if it is filled with kerosene, it is just a waste. Besides, the range of that thing is too short, far inferior to the eight-ox crossbow!"

Fang Qiang's words are not groundless, because he suddenly had a special idea, if he tied the explosive package to the eight-ox crossbow, and then fired it with a swish...

Isn't attacking a city just like playing for fun?

The more Fang Qiang thinks about it, the more he feels it is feasible, but there are still many technical problems to be solved for this sharp weapon.

The first is how to mix gunpowder and how to maximize its power?Then there is the length of the fuse. How can we make the crossbow explode when it hits the ground?
In short, all of this needs to be solved urgently, but Fang Qiang believes that after countless experiments and explorations, this thing will definitely succeed!
