The two armies are now like the gray heads, with no hope of life.
"Even if we join you, our numerical advantage will be useless. The three-bow crossbows of the Julu Kingdom are extremely lethal. This is famous among the six countries. Once locked by it, it will be difficult to escape. Once a fight begins, , except for death, there is no chance of winning."
"Your Ye Kingdom is fighting against the Julu Kingdom. I think it's better to abandon this camp and swim in the lake to escape."
All kinds of frustrating words came out of each mouth.
But it's no wonder that they have such thoughts. After all, the gap in strength between the Julu Kingdom and the Ye Army is obvious to all.
Zheng Quchi reached out and brushed off a layer of drizzle on her shoulders. The armor and helmet were thick and did not fit her well. After giving it a once over, she took it off.
Nowadays, she wears a soft robe with a waisted waist and men's clothing. It is more than light but not heavy, but it still allows her to move easily.
However, her innate momentum does not rely on a set of hard armor to press her body, nor does she go to the battlefield to fight with the enemy, so it doesn't matter what she wears or how she is dressed.
"If they charge forward with real swords and guns, I may not necessarily have a way to deal with it, but if they use these weapons to deal with the Ye army, it would be a coincidence. I am good at this." Zheng Quchi smiled and said, Thin body, soft white face, petite and harmless.
"In addition, you are also wrong. The advantage in numbers is not useless. On the contrary, it is the key to our ability to turn defeat into victory this time."
Most people present did not believe her words, even Ye Jun. On the contrary, they all thought she was talking nonsense.
Is she naive or ignorant? Is the three-bow bed crossbow of Julu Kingdom so easy to deal with?
The Julu Kingdom has been researching for so long before it finally developed such a powerful weapon. It is simply a must-have tool for siege and killing enemies and long-range shooting. It has made many countries toss and turn with worry and worry so much that they can't sleep at night. How can it be done? Is it possible for her to open her little mouth and spit out a few words?
But some people asked her hopefully: "How...how do you say this?"
Listening to this tone, as soon as I asked the question, I felt a sense of unsteadiness, but at the same time I could hear a hint of infinite expectation.
In the past two days, Adjutant Zheng had made a lot of arrangements for them. The entire Ye camp was almost as busy as anyone who could breathe. During the day, they were as tired as a dog, and they were so hot that they stuck out their tongues and panted. Sometimes they had to work overtime at night, which was hard. Unspeakable.
At first, they were all full of resentment and cursed at her, thinking that she was just messing around and doing useless things.
But it turns out that their knowledge was too superficial and they mistook pearls for fish eyes.
Everything that Adjutant Zheng did seemed unrelated and insignificant, but in the end it proved to be the reason why they could live successfully until now.
So even if she said that it was so unrealistic for her to "turn defeat into victory" at the hands of the Julu Kingdom, they still did not regard her as talking crazy words, but hoped that she could lead them to conflict with each other, just like before. .
Zheng Quchi turned around, raised his head, and looked at a rickety lamp hanging on the pole of the cattle shed, and the raindrops that kept falling like beads were like a curtain...
Further up, heavy rain fell on them, and the rain merged with the night, and they were surrounded on all sides, just as they were now trapped in an isolated and critical predicament.
"Do they know arithmetic?" she asked.
"Huh?" The soldiers looked at her in confusion.
She pointed outside: "Look, the rainwater falls. From our point of view, it is connected in a line and cannot be avoided. But in fact, if you look at the ground, when the rainwater falls on the water, it will splash around and around. The water bubbles ripple, which means there are gaps between them."
"oh……"
I understand, but I don’t seem to understand.
"Suppose if we calculate the gap time, can we try to pass without getting wet?" Her tone was very casual.
One person reacted quickly and retorted immediately: "This is impossible. Even if it is calculated, it is impossible for a person to pass through such a short gap."
Hearing this, Zheng Quchi also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the density and speed of rainwater are destined. Even if we can calculate it, humans cannot do it. But if we calculate the long-range firing speed and impact point of the three-bow bed crossbow, Do you think you can hide away?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
By calculating the tension of the bow string, the straightness of the crossbow rod, the tilt angle of the bow arm, etc., the orbit equation can be calculated, so that the final impact point of the crossbow arrow can be accurately determined.
"Three hundred crossbow beds are used to fire three hundred crossbow arrows at one time. It takes about a quarter of an hour to string, reel, and launch. Once you deviate from their range, they will need a longer time to repeat. Adjustment, this is the biggest disadvantage of large instruments. The upper chord is long and the aim is weak, so it can only be adapted to large-scale shooting."
When they heard this, they stared at Zheng Quchi dumbfounded.
"You can calculate the firing speed, range and landing point of the Julu Kingdom's three-bow bed crossbow. How is this possible?" The more they listened, the more they felt that she was talking nonsense and whimsical.
Zheng Quchi said: "There is nothing impossible about this. As long as there is enough data to lay the foundation, everything in this world can be calculated."
Of course, this is a bit exaggerated. In theory, it is possible, but in fact, she is far from reaching this level.
She had previously sent people to secretly approach Julu Kingdom in the rainy night, but it was really not just to provoke Julu or to frame Nanchen Army and Hong Sheng Army. The main purpose was to collect the data of the three-bow bed crossbow nearby.
To be honest, Ye Jun, Adjutant Zheng, sometimes speaks in a eloquent, meaningful and mysterious way... In short, at first glance, they seemed to understand, but when they thought about it more deeply, good guy, I don't even understand what she said.
Is this person really here to fight?
Why do they think she is like those Ph.D.s in academies who hold pens and engage in learning?
His whole body is inexplicably filled with a scholarly and scholarly aura, and he is also the kind of strict teacher who is respected the most by low-school students but most afraid of and wants to avoid.
"But, so what if we calculate it? Where can we escape? One crossbow arrow can still escape, but hundreds of crossbow arrows are fired in unison. Each one is like a spear, which can penetrate the bodies of several people..."
"So through calculation, I will let you evade in the early stage and hide in the later stage."
"What?"
Can she speak some human words, just make them think so loudly that they will wonder if their minds are too stupid?
Zheng Quchi seemed to understand the difficulty of their understanding, so he told them in an easy-to-understand sentence: "I previously dug a slender trench outside the camp. It is so long that the enemy can't see it and thinks we are making a fool of ourselves. Or a big-tailed wolf disguised as a hunting dog, but it can actually be used as a shelter, big enough for two or three thousand people to jump in at the same time.”
When the "enemy" heard this, he almost felt a mouthful of old blood being spurted out.
Was she mocking them, or was she despising them for being short-sighted and not detecting her "sinister" intentions in advance?
Zheng Quchi hadn't finished speaking yet.
She raised her umbrella on the wet mud ground and began to explain: "When the time comes, thousands of you will follow my orders. First, lure the enemy deep into the ground. I will plan your retreat position in advance. You only need to stand In the safe area in front of the formation, they fought back and forth with the Julu Army, and finally ran to the trench, attracting all the attention of the Julu Army. When they launched the three-bow bed crossbow, they jumped down into the trench in time, and then It’s safe to avoid.”
A bolt from the blue exploded above the heads of Nan Chen's army and Hong Sheng's army.
After being dumbfounded for a moment, they said with difficulty and anger: "What, what did you say? Let us stand outside Ye Camp and serve as targets for you?!"
"You clearly want us to die!"
Facing their angry looks, Zheng Quchi replied calmly: "Of course it's impossible. If you were really shot to death by a crossbow from the Julu Kingdom, then what would I do with all these things? What should our Ye army do next? what to do?"
This answer is simply reasonable, ruthless, and yet inexplicably convincing.
But Hong Shengjun and Nan Chenjun still didn't believe her: "But what you just said... What's the math? When will the three-bow bed crossbow hit us? How far can one crossbow shoot? How big is the range? This How can things be calculated, how is this possible?”
Zheng Quchi sighed: "You don't believe it, so why don't we give it a try first?"
try?
How to try?
Zheng Quchi turned his head, searched among the group of people, and finally spotted Liu Chaiji, who was looking at her with a naive expression.
"come here."
As soon as she called, Liu Chaiji did not hesitate and Baba came over.
He asked: "Adjutant Zheng, what's wrong?"
"In a moment, you just keep walking until you reach the lamppost where we measure the rising water, and then stand there. No matter what happens, don't move unless I tell you to leave."
Although Liu Chaiji had questions, he suppressed all his questions as soon as he heard Zheng Quchi say "obey the order".
"Wait, hold the umbrella."
"yes."
Liu Chaiji took the umbrella, feeling uneasy in his heart, and walked toward the Bailu Lake lamppost.
Not long after, Liu Chaiji held an umbrella and stood where the dim light was emitting. The rain was too heavy tonight, so the camp took out a measuring stick to measure the rising water and poked it into the mud. There was a stick hanging on the stick. A cowhide lantern can keep out the rain and shine brightly, allowing them to observe the extent of the rising water and predict where it will be flooded.
The rain had subsided a lot. Zheng Quchi took another umbrella brought by Ye Jun and opened it. She led the people from Hong Shengguo and Nanchen Jun to the open space. Then she called over a man who was good at bowing.
"Wait a minute, stand in this position and shoot an arrow forward with all your strength."
"yes."
As she said, the archer shot an arrow with all his strength. Zheng Quchi first measured the farthest distance of his shooting range, and also found out his arm strength and resistance.
"After a while, I shout to shoot, and you shoot an arrow in the direction of Liu Chaiji."
"Adjutant Zheng! This..."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
"yes."
Zheng Quchi measured the distance step by step. When she reached Liu Chaiji's position, which was about seventy-four meters away from the shooter, she looked up and observed the rain and wind direction, then waved to Liu Chaiji: "It's too far. , come here with some more.”
"Is it too, too close?"
"Don't believe me?" Zheng Quchi tilted his head and asked him, his clear eyes piercing people's hearts.
Liu Chaiji quickly shook his head: "No, no, I believe it. I'll just leave a little further."
"Stand still and don't move a step for a while."
Liu Chaiji said with a sad face: "I understand."
Zheng Quchi walked away, and at the same time she asked Ye Jun to light torches and form a long queue, illuminating the distance between the archers and Liu Chaiji, so that everyone could clearly see what was going on in the darkness.
Although he said he believed her, when the sharp arrows of the archers in the distance were aimed at him, Liu Chaiji broke into a cold sweat and clenched his fists nervously. But when he met Zheng Quchi's determined and calm eyes, , but suddenly he was no longer too scared.
Zheng Quchi rehearsed the calculation formula in her mind. She had calculated the power of Ye Jun's bow and arrow. Adding the strength of the bow arm, the speed could reach about 150 to 170 FPS. At this time, there was a breeze and the resistance of rain, which was converted into meters per second until the arrow hit... ...No problem, although it is within a reasonable range, people will not be hit by the arrow.
"shoot!"
Zheng Quchi gave the order.
The moment Liu Chaiji loosened the string, he subconsciously closed his eyes and waited for the howling wind to arrive.
However, the pain he thought he felt from being hit by an arrow never came for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, he only saw an arrow landing about a foot in front of his toes.
Mom, oh my god, he was scared to death.
Others immediately opened their eyes, but someone soon questioned: "It's just a coincidence. He may have been standing outside the shooting range, so he missed the shot."
"I think so too."
Zheng Quchi didn't argue with them, he just said: "Substitute someone and shoot again."
This time, Zheng Quchi chose one and volunteered to join Hong Shengjun.
After going through the same pattern as before, Zheng Quchi stepped forward to adjust Liu Chaiji's position again. This time she actually let Liu Chaiji move forward several meters.
They looked at Qi with some doubts, but they continued to watch patiently.
"shoot!"
Another flying arrow was shot at Liu Chaiji quickly, but this time he was much more relaxed than the first time, and he did not close his eyes the whole time.
Sure enough, the arrow still only landed about a foot away from his toes. This time, Mingming came a few meters closer. Logically speaking, he should be able to hit the target. But even if the Hongsheng Army envoy tried his best, there was still nothing he could do. Shoot him.
This time everyone was in an uproar. They understood that different archers had different arm strength and different archery skills, so there was a significant difference in shooting range.
However, it seems that Zheng Quchi can really calculate the maximum range of each person's arrow, measure it with the naked eye and feet, and then make subtle adjustments.
For the first time, they could say that it was not her calculation at all, but that she just happened to be outside the shooting range, so the arrow missed.
But the second time, if the archer stood in the original position, he could obviously shoot the person, but she seemed to know the maximum distance of the opponent's shooting range, and once again decisively adjusted Liu Chaiji's approach. The location, in the end, remained safe and sound.
Zheng Quchi turned around and saw the stunned expressions on their faces and asked, "Do you want to try again?"
No one said anything. The first time could be said to be an accident, but the second time could not be said to be a coincidence. Moreover, each time the arrow was hit so close to Liu Chaiji, the distance was almost the same. It didn’t look like a random accident. What's the result of falling for a dead rat? (End of chapter)
