"I heard from my brother that when you rescued him last time, you used a small weapon that looked like a crossbow. I wonder if brother Mu Qing can tell you what kind of weapon it is?"

After hearing this, the smiling face of the statement said, with a solemn expression, "Brother Hanzhang, it's actually just a gadget, it's just a surprise, it's really hard to be elegant."

Knowing that the statement would not be easy, Xi Nianxiu told him, took out a token from his pocket and handed it over, "Brother Mu Qing, take a look at this first."

The statement took a look at Xi Nianxiu before taking the token from him. It was a bronze plate less than the size of a palm, with a dragon pattern engraved on it, and words were engraved in the center of the token, with 'Dragon Guard' engraved on one side, One side is 'General Order'.

After the statement came here, he had learned about the military of the Great Merchants. Among them, the most prestigious was a dragon guard guarding the Longgu Pass, and the Longgu Pass was not far from their Yunzhou City, just one city away, but the Longgu The pass is guarded by the Dragon Guards, so the barbarians outside the pass cannot enter the pass.

And this token is obviously the general's order of the Dragon Guard Army. He stated that he was rubbing the token in his hand, frowning and hiding his belly, so it seems that Brother Hanzhang is a drunkard today, and he doesn't mean to drink!

Chen Chen pushed the token back in front of Xi Nianxiu, and after Xi Nianxiu picked up the token and put it in his arms, he cupped his hands and said to Chen Chen: "Brother Mu Qing, I am indeed here to thank you for saving my brother's life. But besides this, there is one more thing that comes for this weapon."

"You also know that every winter, the barbarians will invade our Longguguan. Every time we fight against the enemy, we will lose many soldiers. Our general has been researching more powerful weapons, just to reduce sacrifices. I hope Brother Mu Qing will see In terms of the country's righteousness, of course our general is not taking it by force, the general said that as long as brother Mu Qing agrees, he will report it to the current emperor, and the source of this weapon is brother Mu Qing."

He stated that he had heard about the general that Xi Nianxiu talked about. This general had been guarding the Dragon Bone Gate since he was 13 years old, and he has been guarding it for ten years.

It is said that he was born as a prince, the sixth son of the current emperor, but his mother’s family was in decline. The sixth prince passed away when he was 11 years old, and his mother’s family had no one to help him. The purpose is to go to Longguguan with the general at that time.

For some reason, the current emperor actually agreed, so the six princes have been guarding for ten years, from a small soldier back then to a world-renowned general today.

As for why he had to go to Longguguan to join the army at the age of 13, the Holy Majesty also agreed, stating that he simply had too many princes, and he didn't care about such a prince without a mother.

Think about those TV dramas I watched in my previous life. They were not fighting for the throne, but now the sixth prince has mastered the Dragon Guard Army, has military power and reputation, if he really wants to get involved, who in the palace? A few princes are probably dead.

And now the current emperor is said that the dragon's body is not healthy, and he doesn't know how long it can last. Several princes compete for the crown prince's position to earn life and death.

So this can be regarded as the reason why he does not want to continue the imperial examination to be an official.

"Since it's for the country and the people, Mu Qing should contribute. In fact, this is just a modified one. I don't know if it's suitable for a military camp." must be handed over.

But since it was for the country and the people, he stated that he was willing to hand it over. After all, his family would be safe if the keel pass was guarded.

"Brother Hanzhang, please come with me." Chen Chen got up and took him to his own room, some things are not suitable to be discussed on this kang bed.

Xi Nianxiu got up and followed the statement. What caught his eye was obviously a bedroom. In addition to the innermost bed, there was a desk by the window. Bookshelves full of secretaries were placed on both sides of the wall in front of the desk.

Statement pointed to the chair next to the bookshelf, "Please sit down." After speaking, he went directly to the desk, took out a drawing from the desk drawer and handed it to Xi Nianxiu, "This is the drawing of xx."

Then he took out several sets of parts from another drawer, "These are the first components."

Xi Nianxiu took over the drawings, which were drawn in great detail, and how each part was combined was clearly marked.

Seeing that the statement was being assembled again, his eyes lit up and he walked over to watch, only to see that he took a few parts and brushed them together to form a small and exquisite crossbow.

After the statement was assembled, he handed it to Xi Nianxiu, who was obviously greedy next to him.

Xi Nianxiu held the gun, his eyes sparkled, "Brother Mu Qing, your crossbow is obviously smaller and more delicate than the crossbows in the barracks, why is its design so powerful?"

"Look here." Statement pointed to the first spring, "With this thing, the force of the arrow will be increased a lot."

Xi Nianxiu is a soldier, so he immediately reflected the weight of the spring, "What is this?"

"The spring is made of iron cut into wire." In fact, the spring should be made of stainless steel, but Dashang has not discovered steel, so the statement can only be replaced by iron wire. Although the elasticity is not as strong as steel, it is better than none. .

"Brother Mu Qing, can I try this?" Xi Nianxiu asked.

"Come with me." Chen Chen thought for a while, and then took Xi Nianxiu to the foot of the mountain where he planned to build the academy, because there were only trees suitable for him to try.

Because of something on their minds, the two walked faster than usual, and arrived at the foot of the mountain within half a stick of incense.

After arriving at the site, the statement pointed to the thick and tall sycamore trees, "This is the place where I plan to build an academy, and these trees will also be cut down, which is just right for you to try."

"Okay." Xi Nianxiu tied the gun around his wrist, then put on the arrow feathers, and aimed at the sycamore tree in front of him from a distance of about five meters.

With a bang, the arrow feather shot into the sycamore tree, and Xi Nianxiu hurried over. Although the arrow feather did not penetrate the sycamore tree, the body of the arrow had penetrated five points.

Xi Nianxiu looked at the sturdiness of the sycamore tree, and then at the half of the arrow feathers shot in. His eyes were shining brightly. If on the battlefield, every soldier had this gun in his hand, why should he be afraid of the barbarian cavalry? At that time, one arrow and one cavalry, "Brother Mu Qing, what is the furthest distance?"

"You can try it yourself." The statement did not tell him directly that the gun was exchanged from the live broadcast mall at first. Xi Nianxiu had his own blacksmith and carpenter remake this one. Because of the problem with the spring, although it could not run for a thousand meters, it was no problem at all for a few hundred meters.

You must know that even the shooting distance of the bed crossbow is less than a kilometer.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try." Xi Nianxiu wasn't unhappy if he didn't mention it. The previous shooting distance was only about ten meters. He remembered what Ling Zuo said, brother Mu Qing saved them and him in the forest. Little brother, he made a special inspection today, and the mountain forest is no less than a hundred feet away from the place where the incident happened.

Xi Nianxiu retreated a hundred feet away, and when he was about to shoot again, Chen Chen suddenly said, "You can retreat another hundred feet."

Xi Nianxiu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and then retreated another hundred feet after listening to him.

Two hundred feet away, Xi Nianxiu rained arrows again.

The statement added: "In fact, this crossbow can have five arrow feathers at one time."

Xi Nianxiu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "There are still five more!"

Chen Chen nodded and stepped forward to teach him, "Yes, you can see that there are five small holes where the arrow feathers are placed, one for each hole. You can use this place to send them out in groups without roots, or you can send them out one by one."

Xi Nianxiu didn't shoot one by one, but directly aimed at the group.

In the past, the test was successful, and it was found that the mass shooting did not affect the shooting power. It was the same as the single shot before, and it was all penetrating.

Xi Nianxiu's eyes were red, and he was extremely excited. He slapped the statement on the shoulder and said excitedly: "My good brother, you have made great achievements this time. With this thing, I will let everyone Everyone is worthy of one, why worry about that barbarian cavalry."

"Cavalry?" The statement knew that Da Shang's enemies were barbarians, but he didn't know how powerful the barbarians were.

"Yes, the barbarian cavalry is very powerful. Every year we have to kill many soldiers to stop their cavalry." Speaking of this, Xi Nianxiu's excitement subsided.

The statement recalled how the soldiers at that time dealt with the cavalry in modern history books, so I asked Xi Nianxiu curiously. "May I take the liberty to ask, how did you deal with the barbarian cavalry?"

"Use the stumping post first, and then use human power to block it." But the stumping post cannot be completely blocked, and the barbarian soldiers are not stupid, they will destroy the stumping post, and only manpower will be left behind.

The statement clearly understands what a tripping post is, but he vaguely remembers that a tripping post is not as powerful as a tripping rope, "Why don't you use a tripping rope?"

"What is the rope that trips the horse?" Xi Nianxiu asked in surprise.

Statement... Isn't there a tripping rope here?

"It's the same as the tripping post, it's for intercepting cavalry."

Xi Nianxiu said solemnly: "I have been guarding the customs for three years, and I have never heard of any tying rope."

The statement was thoughtful, and then said: "Brother Hanzhang, would it be convenient for you to tell me what weapons and equipment you all use on the battlefield?"

Xi Nianxiu didn't reply when he heard the words, and when he stated that he thought it was a secret and couldn't tell him, "The main weapons we use now are knives, guns, bows and arrows, and bed crossbows, and the others are wood and stone."

The statement heard, "Is that all?"

Xi Nianxiu: "Only these."

Statement frowns tightly, it seems that the military weapons and equipment here are very backward.

"Brother Hanzhang, have you heard of trebuchets, nest carts, and flying bridges?"

Xi Nianxiu shook his head, "Never heard of it."

Statement: "So what about the 36 tricks of the soldiers' offspring?"

Xi Nianxiu asked, "Is this a book on the art of war?"

It is stated that the military of this era has a certain understanding. It seems that the military here is still very backward, and there are not even trebuchets.

Xi Nianxiu looked at the statement and frowned and didn't answer. His mind turned and he lowered his eyebrows in thought. There must be something wrong with what brother Mu Qing asked earlier.

Especially the catapult nest car fly bridge and the 36 tactics of Sun Tzu that he asked at the end.

Xi Nianxiu said with certainty that if he got what Brother Mu Qing said, the military strength of their big merchants would definitely be more than doubled.

He must find a way to get Brother Mu Qing to tell him that for the sake of the Longwei Army, the great merchants and the common people, even if Xi Nianxiu knelt down and begged Brother Mu Qing to tell him.

Stated that he didn't know what Xi Nianxiu was thinking about this matter, he looked up at the sky, "Brother Hanzhang, let's go home first, it's getting late, my mother should have lunch ready."
