"Okay, I understand." Wu Nian nodded and said.
Liu Zhixing took the time to say a few words, then turned around and left. He was really busy and had no time to talk nonsense with Wu Nian.
"God's Arm Bow!"
Wu Nian pinched his chin again, then sat back, bending over to drink mung bean soup with a spoon.
If you have weapons, of course you have to be armed.
Since the heavy armor and heavy ax soldiers were handed over to Wang Gui.
Then give the Divine Arm Bow to Zhang Sheng.
They are the left and right captains, in charge of their own soldiers, and when used together, they may have miraculous effects.
Thinking of this, Wu Nian quickly finished the mung bean soup in the bowl, stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, and asked the servant next to him to clean up the mess. He found a soldier to ask for Zhang Sheng. Then he left Wu Mansion and headed to the treasury.
The treasury is the arsenal of weapons.
Others include money warehouses, granaries, etc. Li Yong is responsible for all these logistical matters.
There are specialized petty officials and soldiers who are in charge of and guard these places. It is difficult for most people to enter the arsenal, but Wu Nian only needs to scan his face to open the door.
After Wu Nian saw the arsenal officer, he asked him to get the divine arm bow and a breastplate. Ask the soldiers to cover the breastplate on the archery target and place it a hundred meters away.
He himself stood still, playing with the divine arm bow.
Crossbow. That's it.
This Divine Arm Bow is not the most powerful crossbow Wu Nian has ever seen. The crossbow made of high-tech materials from his previous life is the real murder weapon.
But this divine arm bow is already the high technology of this era, the most powerful crossbow.
It looks like it is only the size of a bow, but its production process is extremely complex. The bowstring used is a special mixed material and has a strong pulling force.
This means that the Divine Arm Bow has a drawback, requiring assistance in stringing.
That is, one person shoots the bow and another person loads the arrows.
The divine arm bow in Wu Nian's hand was filled by specialized personnel on the side. Wu Nian raised the divine arm bow and aimed at the arrow target covered by the breastplate in front of him, but quickly put it down.
Wait until Zhang Sheng comes.
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
"General."
Zhang Shengben was training soldiers and horses in his camp. When he heard Wu Nian's summons, he rushed over without stopping, sweating profusely.
After standing still, he bowed and saluted Wu Nian.
"Go get a bowl of water." Wu Nian nodded first, and then said to the soldiers beside him.
"Yes." The soldier agreed, turned around and went down.
Zhang Sheng's eyes were fixed on the divine arm bow in Wu Nian's hand. Of course he recognized this thing. It was one of the standard equipment of Chu State.
However, there are so many soldiers and horses in the generals of Liaodong. Except for a few generals Wei Changqing, there are very few who have divine arm bows.
This thing is too expensive.
Wouldn’t it be nice to line your own pockets?
Zhang Sheng was vaguely aware of Wu Nian's purpose for coming to him, but did not ask immediately. When the soldiers brought Liang Baikai, he drank it in one gulp, and then said to Wu Nian: "General, have the divine arm bows in the arsenal now become large-scale?"
"There are more than three hundred." Wu Nian smiled and nodded. "Last time, we gathered a lot of military households. Many of them were craftsmen. The production speed of the God's Arm Bow has been accelerated a lot."
"With this progress, I think there will be 500 by the end of the year."
"Then it will be lethal." Zhang Sheng's eyes lit up and he said.
"Yes." Wu Nian nodded, then raised his head and looked at the arrow target covered by a breastplate a hundred meters away. After taking a deep breath, his eyes turned into eagle eyes, sharp and steady with one arm. , and then pulled the trigger.
"Boom" sound.
The crossbow arrow made a hissing sound and was shot out in the blink of an eye.
"Ding", a crisp sound sounded.
Wu Nian's eyes narrowed, the arrowheads and the iron plates on the breastplate erupted into sparks, and then the crossbow arrows were firmly fixed on the target.
"If this were shot on a person, even if they were protected by armor, they would be seriously injured." Zhang Sheng's face trembled and he took a breath of cold air.
Wu Nian nodded and handed the divine arm bow to the soldiers on the side. The other two soldiers quickly carried the arrow targets and came to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian and Zhang Sheng stepped forward to check and found that the arrow had completely broken through the armor and penetrated deeply into the target.
If you are shot by this thing.
Wu Nian's face also trembled, he took a deep breath, turned to Zhang Sheng and said, "We need to strengthen the armor of generals and officers and make the iron sheets thicker."
"Accordingly, military generals and officers must also strengthen their training to be worthy of heavier armor."
"That's right." Zhang Sheng nodded.
The war from now on will no longer be a guerrilla war, but a frontal fight. There should not be many divine arm bows in the hands of the Meng Yuan people, but there must be many in Chu.
You have to be on guard.
"I'll give you the more than 300 divine arm bows and crossbows in the treasury. You recruit 500 auxiliary soldiers and train 500 divine arm archers."
"Whether it's defending a city, breaking armor and killing armored infantry or armored cavalry. This thing has miraculous effects."
"My two personal soldier battalions. One battalion of heavy axes and one battalion of divine arms are even more powerful when combined. Don't lose to Wang Gui."
Wu Nian took a deep breath, with a slight smile on his face, reached out and patted Zhang Sheng on the shoulder and said.
"General, don't worry. How could I lose to him? He has never beaten me in a fight since I was a child." Zhang Sheng puffed up his chest after hearing this, and punched him with his fist.
"Boom!"
Wu Nian burst out laughing when he heard this and said: "Wang Gui was a sick boy before. Who can he beat in a fight? Why don't you move Tieniu out? Have you beaten him in a fight since you were a child?"
"Haha." Zhang Sheng chuckled upon hearing this, not ashamed at all.
Wu Nian was not sloppy at all, and readily asked the officials in charge of the arsenal to send more than 300 divine arm bows and crossbows to Zhang Sheng's camp. He also asked Liu Zhixing to recruit 500 auxiliary soldiers and handed them over to Zhang Sheng.
Strengthen training and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
After finishing the matter, Wu Nian separated from Zhang Sheng and returned to Wu Mansion.
"When the autumn harvest is sufficient, we can send out troops. Will the heavy armor, heavy ax soldiers, and divine-arm archers be available in time?" Wu Niangang entered the gate, looked up at the sky, and thought to himself.
Time waits for no one.
Although he has stepped up his efforts and taken great steps to expand his army and power crazily. But the increase in strength is still a bit slow.
Xiong Wuwo, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, is by no means an ordinary person. There will definitely be a big battle between Chu State and Meng Yuan.
For him, this is a good opportunity to get something out of the fire.
Of course, the more troops, the better, and the stronger the combat power, the better.
"General. You are back." Just when Wu Nian was lost in thought, a maidservant ran past panting.
"Well. Did something happen at home?" Wu Nian was suddenly taken aback and asked nervously.
I haven't left the house yet, don't let the fire break out in the backyard first.
