"Is this what you have been doing these days?" Li Shimin turned to Zhang Qiang numbly and murmured.
Zhang Qiang threw the tattered armor on the ground, clapped his hands, and then replied: "Yes! This is one of the results.
Xiao Han proposed it, and then the craftsmen here worked together to create it! It is said that the latest Shangxuan method was used. I don’t understand the principle. I only know that the things Xiao Han painted made the masters so excited that they stayed up for almost several days and nights before they made a prototype. Then I slowly adjusted it, and finally it became what it is now. "
"Oh!" Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully and said nothing. Zhang Qiang smiled and was about to speak when Xue Shou's voice sounded next to him.
"Zhang Qiang, you know something about this thing. Do you think it can shoot directly into the city wall tower if it's time to attack the city?"
Xue Shou just ran to pull out the crossbow arrow that had been inserted into the ground, but he might not have pulled it out. When he came back, he heard Zhang Qiang introducing him and couldn't help but ask.
"No problem at all!" Zhang Qiang was quite confident in what Xiao Han had made. He pointed at the fortress in the distance and said: "When we were originally designing, Xiao Han once said a word called decapitation operation. He also said that we were all too stupid. Before the war started, You have to show off your appearance and talk some nonsense before the fight can begin.
If he were to command, he would definitely greet him with a crossbow without saying a word, and kill all the generals and lieutenants. How can the enemy fight without their leader! "
"Beheading operation?" Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up. He naturally understood the principle of shooting men first and horses first, and capturing thieves first and kings first. However, except for encounters, the generals on both sides were all protected by masters, and ordinary attacks could not hurt him at all. So the words have been circulating, but few have done it. Now, the emergence of such a sharp weapon seems to give them an opportunity to realize it!
"It's such a waste to keep this thing here to look after homes and homes. You think we should buy a few, but it's not too much..." Xiao Lizi touched his smooth chin and said to himself.
"Of course it's not too much, what's too much?" Xue Shou was particularly angry at this cheap brother-in-law, and without even looking at his sister whose silver teeth were almost broken, he said angrily: "Didn't he still have a position in the Arms Department? Providing us with weapons is a matter of course! Just give us the capital, don’t you think so, Zhang Qiang!”
Zhang Qiang smiled bitterly, tapped the distant fortress with his chin, and said: "Don't ask me about this, but I think this...isn't it a bit unkind?
Besides, I don’t know much about the cost of this thing. I just said once that he accidentally said that this thing has thousands of parts assembled and all are made of the best materials. I guess it would cost several hundred. Qian Guan! "
"What? So expensive?" Xue Pan put his head to the side and eavesdropped, and almost jumped up when he heard this! One thousand guans, how much does this cost? Just get such a thing, even if you exchange the thousand strings for copper coins and smash them, you can kill a lot of people. No wonder everyone in Chang'an said that Xiao Han is a prodigal, and it is true!
"Yes!" Zhang Qiang smiled at Xue Pan, and then said: "And the ones you see are all fixed. In fact, there is another kind that is installed on the car. They are all steel cars! Even the wheels are made of iron! It is said that because It's too heavy and powerful! The wooden one will fall apart after being fired a few times! If you want it from him, you'll probably want something like this that can move."
"My God, how did he come up with such a thing! An iron cart? It has to be able to hold such a big thing! Can a horse pull it?!" Li Shimin couldn't imagine such a huge iron cart pulling a big yellow crossbow everywhere. In terms of running, there were bronze chariots before, but they were only suitable for armies to fight against each other. When fighting on flat ground, they were quickly eliminated because of the inconvenience of transportation!
Now the enemies are more sophisticated than the last. It's either a siege or an ambush. How could there be a time when the two sides set up a battle array and fought with real swords and guns? Only a fool like Liu Wenjing believed it, but ended up being made dumplings, and almost got mad to death!
"It can be pulled. To be honest, I haven't looked at it carefully!" Zhang Qiang was busy serving his wife at that time, and he really didn't have much free time to care about this. In Zhuangzi, the movable big yellow crossbow was used again. It didn't work, and it has been stored in the warehouse ever since.
A group of people were thinking hard in the cold wind about the spectacular scene of this weapon moving, but the instigator Xiao Han did not have the consciousness to accompany them to blow the cold wind.
It’s so cold that a ghost can run so far! Squatting by the stove and drinking hot water is the right thing to do!
The hot water boiled from the mountain spring is as sweet as sugar. After taking a sip, you look up at the few people shivering in the cold wind. You feel comfortable, but Xue Pan also stupidly goes over to do it. Well? You won’t catch a cold due to the cold!
My heart tightened, and I was about to run out and pull Xue Pan back when I saw Xue Shou draping his robe over to Xue Pan.
Feeling relieved, I continued to squat down to drink water and stir the stove more vigorously.
I don’t know what a group of people can say in a windy place. Anyway, these guys came back only after pouring a large glass of hot water into their stomachs.
This time, they didn't dislike the ugly appearance of squatting, and they all surrounded him, squeezing Xiao Han aside.
He was warming himself by the fire and rubbing his hands. Little Plum's face was no longer visible. The look of pain and happiness was all about him!
"Xiao Han, this thing is good, give it to me..." He was about to say a cross, but suddenly saw Xiao Han's contemptuous eyes, and quickly changed his words: "Three! I don't have anything good to exchange for it now, so why don't I owe it first? ?”
This is the result of their discussion. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, ask for it first. What if it works? I don’t plan to give any money, and I won’t pay the cost...
Sure enough, Li Shimin opened his mouth wide and shocked Xiao Han: "Are you here to visit or to be a robber? Why do you want everything you see? Why don't you leave with everyone?"
"Ah? Do you know this? It's just right. It saves me the chance to speak again!" Li Shimin pretended to be surprised and shouted, but his expression was so fake that even he couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly turned to Gouzi and said: " Ahem, I think this guy named Gouzi is very good, why don't you join me and work hard in the army?"
Xiao Han was speechless. He was talking shamelessly about people like Xiao Lizi!
A gentleman cannot be a general or an emperor. Only those who are very thick-skinned and evil-minded can do this business! He could be so confident even when poaching someone in person, what else could make him feel ashamed?
Xue Pan, whose face was turning blue from the cold, rubbed his eyes stupidly. Is this the usually gentle and elegant second prince? This is obviously a weird guy who deceives children with candy!
Fortunately, the dog was still loyal. So much rice did not go into the white-eyed wolf's belly. He grinned shyly at Li Shimin and said seriously: "Your distinguished guest is joking! Ever since the Marquis has not disliked me, he has given me to the old man." My mother has a safe place to live. From that time on, I swore that this life was the Marquis’s, so I can’t accept my fate..."
"Good! You have integrity!" Li Shimin didn't feel surprised at all when he heard this answer. Instead, he stood up and praised Gouzi, but then he said: "It's just that I think it's wrong for you to be a mere guard here. ! If your Marquis allows you to go, will you go?"
"Master Marquis agrees?" Gouzi lowered his head and glanced at Xiao Han, and then said categorically: "My life belongs to Master Hou. Whatever the master says, I will do whatever I want!"
"That's good!" Li Shimin clapped his hands and turned to look at Xiao Han.
"Who wants your life!"
Xiao Han was a little touched in his heart, but he didn't show it at all in front of Li Shimin. He waved his hand and said, "Go if you want. Since when have we stopped you from making contributions here? If I leave you in the village, there will naturally be someone to take care of you. If you can be a good person and provide a good background for future generations, your mother will also be happy for you!"
