Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

This is the reason why Ju Wentai attacked Yiwu City. In his view, Yiwu is still Yiwu country. His attack on Yiwu country is not an attack on Datang, and Yiwu is too close to Gaochang, so he took Yiwu down. Afterwards, Gaochang was connected into a whole.

At that time, Gaochang will completely control the entire Silk Road.

Yiwu has already received the news that Gaochang is about to attack, and the news was naturally told to King Yiwu by someone from the Ministry of Public Security. Yes, there is also a Ministry of Public Security in Yiwu City. Anyway, King Yiwu’s current idea is to completely screw it up. .

I am from Datang, you can do anything with me.

But when Li Daozong and An Xinggui arrived, King Yiwu was so excited, shit!My Tang army is here!Ju Wentai, you little bitch want to hit me, right?Hahaha, I asked you to come.

King Yiwu immediately ran outside the city to greet the two.

Also welcome [-] Tang troops.

"King Yiwu, our army will not enter the city. We will send [-] troops into the city first, and the other troops will stay behind." Li Daozong said.

They carried a lot of war horses this time, and there were many oases around Yiwu (later Hami). Although the population of Yiwu was small, the area of ​​arable land such as grasslands around Yiwu was far greater than that of later generations.

Therefore, war horses will definitely not be able to enter the city. The area of ​​Yiwu City, if all the army and war horses enter, it is estimated that there will be no room in the city.

Although Yiwu City is Hami in later generations, it is actually not the main city of Hami in later generations, but is located in Yiwu County in Hami in later generations, which is in the canyon of Tianshan Mountains, so the north and south sides of the city are Tianshan Mountains, because this road There is a river in the canyon.

In fact, in ancient times, as long as there were cities, there were rivers.

Cities without rivers will eventually be abandoned. The most typical examples are Yumenguan and Yangguan in the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, a small underground river flowed through the ground and finally merged into the Longle River. However, around the Tang Dynasty At that time, the above-ground rivers here almost disappeared, and the Yumen Pass and Yang Pass in the Han Dynasty were basically abandoned.

It was not until later generations that these two places opened up the underground water source through scientific and technological means that this place became an oasis again.

Therefore, a city like Yiwu City, which is backed by mountains on both sides and located in a canyon, is not very easy to attack.

"No problem! The two generals are here, so the two generals will be the ones to decide everything." King Yiwu highlighted a professional matter to be handled by a professional person, "This is the general who I, Yiwu, is in charge of defending the city. , from now on, he will directly follow the orders of the two generals."

People have already given face here, what else can Li Daozong and An Xinggui say, they can only accept it with a smile.

The [-] Tang troops stayed behind and lurked in the valleys on both sides. Although Yiwu City is surrounded by mountains, the surrounding peaks are not cliffs and are easy to climb. Therefore, Yiwu City The city wall also has four walls, and the north and south sides are not directly connected to the mountain.

And its city wall is no more than four meters high. Although it is made of stones and other piles, because the enemy can easily climb the surrounding mountains to observe the situation in the city, so... this city is actually very easy to attack.

"I met the two generals." After Li Daozong and An Xinggui entered the city, the person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security, who was in charge of logistics and transportation, greeted them here.

The delivery and management of logistical materials are in the charge of the Ministry of Public Security, but Yuelai Commercial Bank is in charge of delivery.

"Mianli, what's your name?" Li Daozong said with a smile.

"My subordinate, He Jin, is in charge of the Public Security Department of Yiwu City, and is the director here." He Jin saluted directly.

"It turned out to be Director He." Li Daozong and An Xinggui also bowed back to He Jin with clasped fists.

"Don't dare, two generals, I'm here to hand over the ordnance placed here to the two generals. It's also what the ordnance will test this time, or the attack strategy." He Jin said.

Li Daozong and An Xinggui looked at each other. They knew that a large amount of supplies had been transported to Yiwu City, but they didn't expect that there were ordnance here.

"Can you tell me what exactly it is?"

"Of course, there are mainly 1000 single-man crossbows, 500 double-man composite crossbows, and 200 squad-use crossbows. A total of 20 crossbows of various types." He Jin said.

"20 pieces?!" The nobleman Anxing was stunned. It's not that the number is large, but that the 60 main elite troops they set off this time are each equipped with a bow and 60 of them are equipped with an additional crossbow. And the total number of bows and crossbow arrows of all soldiers is 1 per person alone or [-] in total. According to His Highness, this is [-] ammunition base.

That is to say, the total number of crossbows and bows and arrows carried by the 300 troops is [-] million!

Compared with 20, this number is naturally not much.

But An Xinggui was baffled by the fact that 20 crossbow arrows had been piled up in Yiwu City since then. He thought that food was the most piled up here.

"And what is this one-man crossbow? Don't we carry a crossbow with us?" An Xinggui asked a little strangely.

"The single-man crossbow is a crossbow that can be pulled away. It is larger than the crossbow equipped with the army." He Jin introduced it, and then said: "Two generals follow me."

Soon He Jin led them to several huge warehouses. It seemed that these warehouses had not been built for a long time. It had a two-story structure, which is not much in Yiwu City.

After opening the warehouse, under He Jin's command, they quickly brought out a crossbow from inside.

Seeing this crossbow, Li Daozong and An Xinggui couldn't help but gasp, you call this a single-man crossbow?In their view, the kind of crossbow they carried before, which can be aimed with one hand, and the crossbow that is drawn is a single-man crossbow.

But this thing in front of me... There is a special bracket structure under the crossbow, and the length of its crossbow arms is close to a person's height.

You call this a single-man crossbow?

And its crossbow arrows were about the thickness of an adult's thumb. Looking at the sharp arrows, Li Daozong and An Xinggui felt that this thing might not even be able to resist the steel armor they were wearing.

And there are two special round wheels on both sides of its crossbow arm, which is a structure they have never seen before.

"Can this person pull it away?" An Xinggui couldn't help asking, looking at the thickness of the crossbow string, tell me this person can pull it away?

"Yes." He Jin said with a smile, "This is a military crossbow that adopts the latest technology from the Ordnance Institute, and it can be opened by one person."

After finishing speaking, He Jin directly asked a member of the Security Force to conduct the test directly. Seeing that the member easily pulled the bed crossbow away, An Xinggui and Li Daozong looked at each other in blank dismay.

They don't understand the principle, but they can tell that this thing... doesn't require so much strength?
