Not only the distance and advantages and disadvantages, Wanyan Shaoning also wanted to know what the advantages of this crossbow were compared to Daxia's artillery.
Artillery and crossbows may seem incomparable, but this is not the case.
Once used properly, the opponent's artillery may not have a chance to fire at all.
Hearing this, the scribe also had a smile on his face.
"Marshal, although we suffered heavy losses in the last war, I also know the distance of their artillery. I have to admit that there should be experts in Daxia's military camp to help."
"How to say?"
Wanyan Shaoning narrowed her eyes.
The scribe said solemnly: "First of all, the artillery they use is different from conventional artillery. Our Nanman artillery is still under study, and the probability of the chamber exploding is very high. However, Daxia's artillery seems to have no need to worry about the chamber exploding. In the court, or in the army, there should be military experts to guide the soldiers in making artillery."
"Secondly, the expert should have calculated the distance and trajectory of the artillery quite accurately. The distance between Qin Yun and General Shentu Jian was not far at that time. All the soldiers nearby were killed, but Qin Yun was safe. , and did not even suffer any injuries. I suspect that it was the master who told Qin Yun the trajectory and distance of the artillery, so that he could prepare in advance."
In this way, there is an explanation for why Qin Yun persisted in chasing Shentu to kill him with his sword.
It is precisely because he knows the direction and distance of the artillery that he is not worried about being blown up by the artillery.
Wanyan Shaoning believed that the scribe's analysis was reasonable. He quickly looked at the general aside and said in a deep voice: "Go and ask, who is the scribe in the Daxia military camp?"
"Yes, I'll contact him right away."
Wanyan Shaoning looked at the scribe opposite and said calmly: "Continue talking."
The scribe bowed his hand.
"In my opinion, I think we should make as many special crossbows as possible. Next time we attack the Great Summer Camp, we should be closer to their artillery."
"Um……"
Wanyan Shaoning's eyes lit up.
"Indeed, in this way, once they fire, they themselves will also be affected."
"That's right, they can't fire cannons. Wouldn't the crossbows in our hands be useful?"
The scribe smiled and said, "When the time comes, we won't have to worry about not being able to defeat them."
"That makes sense."
Wanyan Shaoning nodded.
"I will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of this crossbow to the marshal. One of the advantages is that it is fast. As long as it is coated with poison, it will have unexpected effects. But if you want the crossbow to be shot out at an extremely fast speed, you have to Mention its shortcomings.”
The scribe frowned and said in a deep voice: "That's heavy. Marshal, give it a try."
Wanyan Shaoning picked up the crossbow in front of her and frowned.
It was indeed very heavy. Although it was nothing to him, for many soldiers in the camp, it was not that easy to pick up this crossbow.
Not to mention, while picking up the crossbow, you also have to aim at the enemy's vital points.
It's really a bit difficult.
"Come and try."
Wanyan Shaoning looked at the general on the side and ordered.
"yes."
The general stepped forward quickly and raised the crossbow.
"this……"
He frowned and said in a solemn tone: "It is indeed a bit too heavy. It may be difficult for the soldiers to pick up the crossbow arrows, let alone put them into battle."
"Um……"
Wanyan Shaoning looked at the crossbow with a meaningful expression.
Then, he said: "Leave this matter to you, select a group of soldiers, and specifically use these crossbow arrows to fight."
Although the crossbows are heavy, their soldiers are not useless. There must be people who can pick up these crossbows. Gathering these people together and forming a team dedicated to using crossbows for attack is Wanyan Shaoning's current plan.
"Okay then, I'll go and screen."
The general took away the crossbow arrows, and within a few days, he selected a group of tall soldiers, and according to Wanyan Shaoning's order, he began to conduct special training on them until they could fully pick up the crossbow arrows and aim at the target easily. until.
During this period, Wanyan Shaoning also found out who the "master" in Daxia's army was.
Turns out to be just a little girl.
"How is this possible... Is he lying to us?"
Several generals were suspicious.
"No, although Xiang Jiequn is not very loyal to us Nanman, the two of us are grasshoppers tied to the same rope now. He has no reason to lie to us in this regard."
Wanyan Shaoning sneered.
"It seems that Daxia really found someone extraordinary."
The whole world is so big, and there are countless capable people in it. For example, Qin Yun. Before this war started, Wanyan Shaoning didn't know him at all, but after getting in touch with him, he realized that this guy was even stronger than those veteran people. It's all a headache.
The little girl who made the cannon probably has the same reason.
Wanyan Shaoning said calmly: "Ask him to steal the design of the artillery for me. I want to see what kind of tricks there are."
He wanted to learn from his master, but it was obviously too late to start making cannons at this time.
It would be better to hand the design back to Nanman and let their scribes take a look.
"Marshal, is this too risky?"
"What's the risk? They will never think of Xiang Jiequn."
Wanyan Shaoning sneered.
evening.
Xiang Jiequn took a design drawing and came to the vast wilderness.
Opposite him, Wanyan Shaoning's eyes were solemn.
"got it?"
"Hmph, you really don't regard my life as your life. Once Li Ruyi discovers our affair, do you know what will happen to me?"
"Haha, don't be nervous, haven't you been discovered yet?"
Wanyan Shaoning took the drawing, glanced at it briefly, and then frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"...Where did you get this drawing?"
Xiang Jiequn frowned and replied: "Of course it is in the camp where Zhuge Xianqiao lives. She is now very popular in front of Li Ruyi. You don't know how much effort I have spent..."
"is fake."
Wanyan Shaoning interrupted his chatter with a heavy tone.
"ah?"
Xiang Jiequn was stunned for a moment, then he frowned and said, "How could this be fake? Even if it is fake, how did you tell it?"
Wanyan Shaoning sneered.
"This drawing is the manufacturing method of traditional artillery. We Nanman also have it. It is not a secret at all!"
In other words, this drawing is most likely a fake drawing put out by Li Ruyi and others to test the insider!
The two of them looked at each other, and instantly their mood fell to rock bottom!
