Live as the emperor

Chapter 178 Get up, those who do not want to be slaves

"Wonderful, wonderful, haha, with this, the eradication of the Xiongnu is just a blink of an eye, haha..." Medog suddenly laughed, startling the people around him.

He remembered that with this thing, he would have a chance to defeat the Huns, and he couldn't help it.

Chen Guang is not as relaxed as him. Chen Guang still has a lot of things to do. First of all, he needs to measure the distance between the explosion point and the trebuchet. According to the jargon, it is the range of the trebuchet. With certain standards, this trebuchet is considered qualified—if you throw it right in front of yourself, wouldn’t that be suicide?

After measurement, the range of this trebuchet reached an astonishing seventy feet!

This is a god-like distance. Chen Guang already knew that in the Yuan Kingdom, there was a kind of bone spirit longbow, which was made of animal bones, plus baked glue, etc. Its pulling force was [-] jin, and its range More than fifty feet, and as for the heavy crossbow in the Central Plains, the pulling force exceeds two hundred catties, and the range can even reach more than eighty feet.But this kind of heavy crossbow cannot be played by one person alone. In fact, a winch is still needed, and the size is not much different from Chen Guang's trebuchet.

Just imagine, the distance between the two sides in the battle is fifty feet, but the opponent uses single-target attack skills, and you use group attack skills, which one is more powerful?
"My son-in-law, you are really capable." Medog patted Chen Guang on the shoulder and said.

Chen Guang responded silently in his heart, do you want to fuck your daughter?
"This is just a small problem. How about it? Is it worthwhile for you to spend 1 taels? Let me ask you this."

Medog said loudly: "It's worth it, it's really worth it. If I knew it was so powerful, not just 1 taels, but even 10 taels, it wouldn't be a problem."

Chen Guang asked curiously: "Didn't you say you had no money that day?"

"Ah? Did I say it?" Medog was very surprised.

"Forget it, I didn't say anything." Chen Guang didn't bother with him about these things. Ever since he hoped that the project would make money, he took money very lightly—anyway, after he became emperor, all the money in Qianguo belonged to him. of.

Motuo said with a smile: "Let's go, I want to celebrate your achievements, and I want to drink three big bowls with you."

Chen Guang was speechless, and followed Motuo back to the capital. Before leaving, he had to remind him to guard this place.

Afterwards, Chen Guang made a scale for the trebuchet so that it could achieve different shooting ranges, and this was considered a success.The cost of such a trebuchet machine is only about five taels of silver. The cost of materials is actually not high, but only the cost of technology, and technology has no cost at all for Chen Guang.

Medog really allocated another 2 taels of silver to mass-produce the trebuchet and Son of Light No. [-].

After another half month, Medog suddenly announced in the court hall that he would declare war on the Huns.

When he said this in front of all civil and military officials, more than 100 people in the entire hall were shocked, and then boiled.

"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu are powerful. Although our Yuan Kingdom has made great progress, it is not enough to compete with the Xiongnu. Think twice." As soon as Motuo finished speaking, someone jumped out to object.

"Yes, Your Majesty, war is not a child's play, please think twice before doing so, Your Majesty."

Everyone had never heard of the war with the Huns before, and had never noticed any signs of war. Medog suddenly announced it in the court. In addition to being shocked, everyone thought that Medog was just telling a joke on a whim. That’s all.

The Xiongnu oppressed the surrounding countries—not just the Yuan State—it was no longer a day or two. No one wanted to get rid of the Huns and hurry up, but there was no way.

But now, the Yuan Kingdom's strength is completely insufficient to compete with the Xiongnu. Not to mention taking the initiative to attack the Xiongnu, even resisting the Xiongnu's attack has a certain degree of difficulty.

To fight the Huns with such strength, wouldn't that be hitting a rock with an egg?

However, Medog didn't care about this. The power of Son of Light No. [-] had given him great confidence. He felt that even if his troops were smaller than the Xiongnu, he could completely beat the Xiongnu to pieces.

In the era of cold weapons, the battle depends on who has the most people and who has the most money. If you put your brains into it, whoever is the most powerful will win, and most of them are like this.But after entering the era of hot weapons, the importance of weapons is much greater than that of numbers. In the face of powerful weapons, the difference in numbers is simply negligible.

The Son of Light No. [-] and the trebuchet made by Chen Guang are still kept secret. Although many people know that Motuo built an earthen wall outside the city, no one knows what is inside the wall. He also issued a death order, and anyone who leaked the news would punish the Jiu Clan.

He wanted to catch the Huns off guard.

During this period of time, the factory was not only stepping up the production of Son of Light No. [-], but Chen Guang was not idle either. He had trained a group of qualified operators who could skillfully use this trebuchet.

Medog felt that the time had come, so he announced the news in the court.

"I can no longer bear the oppression of us by the Huns. I heard that Hexi County was robbed by the Huns a few days ago. The people of the Yuan Kingdom are living in dire straits. As the king of a country, can I not be anxious?" Modog tried to convince the ministers to support the attack on the Huns by getting rid of the facts and reasoning.

"Your Majesty, a little impatience will mess up a big plan. The Huns are hateful, but they are powerful. If we want to compete with them, we are not our opponents yet. We can only strengthen ourselves first and then work slowly."

"Your Majesty Sun is right, Your Majesty, the Xiongnu is now in the limelight. Not only our Yuan Kingdom, but also several other countries are being oppressed by the Huns, even the powerful Gan Kingdom. They will also be plundered by the Huns. The emperor dare not send troops rashly, so why should we be the first birds?"

Everyone can find a reason not to send troops, and everyone's reason is so high-sounding.

Medog suddenly became a little angry, this is wrong, this makes no sense, how can you be such a coward?I don't usually speak well. Every time I talk about the Huns, I want to rush out and fight them to the death. Why don't you even agree to send troops now?
However, if they disagreed, even if Motuo insisted on going his own way, he would not be able to succeed. After all, he still had to rely on these courtiers.

Just when Medog didn't know how to persuade everyone, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside.

Who is this beating the gongs and drums?This is the place where the emperor goes, who is so bold, dare to come here to make a noise?

After the sound of gongs and drums, a high-pitched voice came from outside, almost roaring and singing a song.

"Arise, you who will not be slaves..."
