Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Chapter 20 Empress of Qin (2)

After talking to Wang Jian, Ying Zheng looked at something covered with black cloth in the center of the banquet and said to it:

"Man'er, lift the cloth, Gudao wants to see what this huge thing my son has prepared is."

Zhiyu shook his head and said with a smile: "Father, this cloth needs to be lifted by my father."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng became interested and said with a smile, "Oh? Why do you have to uncover something alone?"

Zhiyu smiled silently and helped Ying Zheng up from his seat with a smile, "Father will find out later on what it is."

Ying Zheng was half pulled by Zhiyu to the bottom. Looking at the thing covered by the black cloth, Meng Wu, who was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this cloth should not be lifted by my subordinates."

Ever since Jing Ke, the envoy of the State of Yan, attempted to murder the king under the guise of presenting a map three years ago, these ministers have always been worried when they encounter things with unknown factors.

After all, if the king dies, their great cause of Qin's unification of the world will probably stop halfway. Young Master Fusu Renai, how can he have the momentum of a king to unify the six countries.

"Haha, no need. Since the princess asked Gu Lai to lift her, then Gu Lai will do as she wishes."

Ying Zheng raised his hand to stop Meng Wu. He knew what Meng Wu was worried about, but his own daughter didn't believe it, so who could he believe?

Ying Zheng strode forward and lifted up the black cloth under everyone's gaze.

After seeing what was under the black cloth, Ying Zheng had a serious expression on his face, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"clang………………."

The sound of bronze falling to the ground sounded.

Everyone looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a middle-aged general looking at something in the center of the banquet in a daze. He still didn't notice that the jue with wine in his hand fell.

Only after everyone's eyes were on him did he react. He knelt down quickly, raised his hands in fear and said, "I have violated the rules of conduct in front of the palace. I hope the king will punish you."

Ying Zheng knew that he was from the Mo family, so he thought he was surprised when he saw what he saw in front of him, so he would not blame him. He just asked: "Jiang Qing is usually the most polite, how could he be like this today?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qe quickly raised his hands and said, "Back to the king, I saw that the things the princess presented to the king were so exquisite. I was dumbfounded for a moment. This is how I disobeyed you in front of the king. I hope you will forgive me."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng laughed and looked at Zhiyu who was smiling appropriately: "It seems that the thing my son presented is quite exquisite. General Jiang, who is from the Mo family, was stunned."

Wen Yanzhiyu pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Ying Zheng and said: "Father, this thing is a surprise prepared by me for you and the generals."

Ying Zheng carefully looked at the crossbow made of wood, looked at Xiang Zhiyu and said: "This thing is a bit like a trebuchet, but not very similar. I wonder if my son can tell me its use?"

Zhiyu nodded and said with a smile: "My father is right. This object is indeed somewhat similar to a trebuchet. Its function is similar to that of a trebuchet, but it is much more useful than a trebuchet."

After finishing speaking, Zhiyu looked at the sitting generals and said with a smile: "Generals are about to attack Chu. Chu is far away and the trebuchet cannot be moved. It would be too wasteful of manpower and material resources to bring it there. Although this thing is big, it can be moved. . ”

"And to use this thing, you only need a ten-stone crossbow."

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone present brightened. They were all generals fighting on the battlefield. Just by listening to Zhiyu's description, they could tell that if this object could be used on the battlefield, it would be much better than a trebuchet.

"Princess, I dare to ask, but I don't know how far the range of this thing is."

After Wang Jian heard Zhiyu's description, he suppressed his excitement and asked his doubts. The manpower and material resources required for this object were 90% less than that of a trebuchet. If the range was similar to that of a trebuchet, it would be an attack weapon. The city's weapon...

However, if the range is too close, the effect will be greatly reduced, and it may even be worse than using a trebuchet.

Hearing this, Jade smiled faintly, and in the expectant eyes of the ministers, said slowly: "The range of this object can reach two hundred meters."

“Hiss………….”

After Zhiyu finished speaking, all the generals present couldn't help but take a breath of air.

Two hundred meters is actually twice as far as the range of a trebuchet.

Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. He had been to the front line and naturally knew the range of the trebuchet. If this thing is what Zhenru Zhiyu said, wouldn't he have a powerful weapon for Qin to attack Chu?

"Jiang Qie, please come forward."

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but said anxiously to Jiang Qie, who was still kneeling on the ground.

When Jiang Qie heard Ying Zheng's words, he quickly came to the center, bowed his hands to Ying Zheng respectfully and said, "I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and said to Jiang Qie: "You are from the Mo family, and you are more familiar with these things than everyone else. Come and take a look at the crossbow."

Hearing this, Zhiyu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Father, why bother so much? Let's lift this thing out and it will be clear at a glance how far it can shoot."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng laughed and shouted: "Good."

"Someone, take this..."

Ying Zheng looked at the thing in front of him and suddenly realized that he didn't know what it was called.

Seeing this, Zhiyu quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Father, this thing has just been made. It has no name for the time being. I am still waiting for my father to give it a name."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng suppressed the joy in his heart and said with a smile: "In that case, after my father has seen his range, I will give him a good name."

Zhiyu smiled slightly and said, "Yes."

"Someone, move this thing out."

When Ying Zheng saw the guards coming in, he waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes."

At the entrance of the palace, Fusu saw Ying Zheng standing outside the palace and stopped moving. He stepped forward and raised his hands and suggested: "Father, why don't we move outside the palace? The palace buildings are crowded. If the range of this thing is really like my sister's As you said, the palace is probably going to be destroyed."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng waved his hands and his deep eyes were staring at the things brought out by the guards. Fusu, who didn't even speak to him out of the corner of his eye, just said indifferently: "If this thing is really as described by your sister, If it is like that, then what if it destroyed the palace?"

"What it destroyed today was only the palace of our Great Qin, and what it will destroy tomorrow will be the city of Chu..."

At this time, the guards had moved the things and were operating according to Zhiyu's instructions. Jiang Qie stepped forward and listened carefully to Zhiyu's explanation. If this thing is really as powerful as the princess said, then they will take it with them tomorrow. On the battlefield, he naturally had to learn how to operate it first.

"Come here, light the torch."

Seeing the guards placing the stones under Zhiyu's command, Yingzheng quickly ordered that it was dark night, and although there were many stars in the sky, they were not very bright. Yingzheng wanted to see with his own eyes whether the thing in front of him was what Zhenruzhiyu said. The same.
