"His Majesty still has foresight after all. He probably has long realized that Xiang Jiequn cannot be trusted."
Li Kaitong said to Zuo Shutong.
"Hmph, when Marshal Li and the others were encircling and suppressing the horse bandits, wasn't it Xiang Jiequn who was holding us back? Your Majesty sees things more clearly than we do, and another one... He also knows the situation on the front line better than we do, so that's why he came in advance Make your judgment.”
Zuo Shutong sighed with a smile.
"No matter what, this crisis has been resolved... No, for Marshal Li and General Qin, it may not be a crisis at all."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
They were all aware of Qin Yun's performance on the front line. He killed Helian Yaru and the famous Southern Barbarian desperate general Shen Tujian, which greatly boosted the morale of the Daxia army. They had already seen these battle reports.
Qin Yun is indeed their lucky star in Great Xia.
"Your Majesty is just saying nothing, but in fact... hmph, none of these people who support Xiang Jiequn can escape."
Li Kai sneered and said.
He really hated the rebels to the extreme, not to mention that the person standing on the battlefield now was not someone else, but his daughter.
Thinking that Li Ruyi would be distressed because of Xiang Jiequn's betrayal, Li Kai couldn't wait to enter the battlefield in person to participate in the battle.
It's a pity that now, as a father, he can only watch the battle on the front line here.
At this time, in Daxia’s base camp.
"General Qin, I designed this light crossbow based on the crossbows used by southern barbarian soldiers. Please take a look at it with Marshal Li."
Zhuge Xianqiao took out a design drawing and put it in Qin Yun's hand.
He didn't look carefully, just glanced at it briefly, and couldn't help but marvel at Zhuge's delicate wisdom and ability.
Just looking at the crossbow arrows used by others, he was able to design such an exquisite weapon based on the enemy's crossbow arrows without even getting the design drawings. If Qin Yun were Zhuge's delicate enemy, he would probably die of frustration.
Moreover, Zhuge Xianqiao's ability is not like that of an ancient person at all, but more like a knowledgeable modern military scientist. Even in the world he originally lived in, Zhuge Xianqiao must be a super genius being competed by all parties.
"Let's go and show it to Marshal Li." Zhuge Xianqiao said.
"good!"
Li Ruyi also expressed surprise after seeing the design drawing drawn by Zhuge Xianqiao.
When she was asked to join the team, Li Ruyi didn't have any real feeling. It wasn't until Zhuge Xianqiao made the cannon and saw the crossbow arrow in his hand that Li Ruyi was sure that she had indeed seen a treasure.
Zhuge Xianqiao is not a rough jade, nor does it need to be carved. It is a rare treasure in itself.
"Lightweight crossbow bolt...Is this any different from other crossbow bolts?"
Li Ruyi raised her eyebrows and asked.
Zhuge Xianqiao immediately explained it to her like a treasure trove.
"Please look here. I have installed a small device on the crossbow to make it easier for soldiers to aim at the enemy... I say this, but you may not feel strongly about it. When the first crossbow is actually made, you will personally Give it a try and you will naturally experience its wonderful effects.”
This device reminded Qin Yun of the scope on a sniper rifle.
It has to be said that Zhuge Xianqiao is indeed a talent that comes only once in a century.
"I have removed some unnecessary small components from the crossbow. Although the weight of the crossbow has been reduced and the size of the crossbow has become smaller, its power will not be affected in any way. On the contrary, the sighting device will be added to make the crossbow smaller. It becomes more accurate, and soldiers should be more comfortable using it."
"I believe in your ability, Qin Yun. Now go and tell them to make a few crossbow arrows and let's test them ourselves."
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
Qin Yun immediately agreed.
Zhuge Xianqiao said with a smile: "And in this way, we can save a lot of materials and achieve more with one stone."
"Yes, you are indeed a rare talent."
Hearing Li Ruyi praise her so much, Zhuge Xianqiao felt a little embarrassed.
"This is actually just a simple little joke. The inspiration was also obtained from the Southern Barbarian heavy crossbow. It's not surprising that it was developed in just one meal."
Li Ruyi's mouth twitched.
It was obvious that this girl had no sense of her own talents.
If the light crossbow arrows she drew on the drawing are as convenient as she said and can be put into actual combat, then Li Ruyi can mention to Xia Zi that they can mass-produce such light crossbow arrows and specially train soldiers to use these crossbow arrows. At that time, it will definitely be the icing on the cake for their Daxia army.
Similarly, Li Ruyi had to send people to protect Zhuge Xianqiao at all times when she made the light crossbow.
They rescued Zhuge Xianqiao from the bandits, and Li Ruyi must not let her fall into the hands of others.
As a partner, such a person would be great, but as an enemy, it would be terrible.
She can even make lightweight weapons unique to Daxia based on the enemy's weapons, without even looking at the design drawings.
Li Ruyi felt a layer of cold sweat break out on his back just thinking that Zhuge Xianqiao would become an enemy.
The soldiers were very efficient. That night, the light crossbow arrows that Zhuge Xianqiao had expected were built.
She took the crossbow and drew a few positions on it with a pen, then frowned and said, "These places need to be improved, otherwise the crossbow will be unstable."
"Miss Zhuge, if this doesn't work, can you give us a test?"
"certainly."
Zhuge Xianqiao handed the crossbow arrow to Yi Rui, who held the crossbow arrow in both hands - this way, he would not worry about the crossbow arrow being unstable.
He just wanted to test Zhuge Xianqiao's so-called aiming device. As for whether it was stable or not, Yi Rui didn't really care.
Yi Rui placed an arrow in the groove, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"It's really not as heavy as before."
He tried with one hand, but it was still a little unstable.
As Zhuge Xianqiao said, there are several areas that really need improvement.
But Yi Rui only realized the shortcomings of the light crossbow after he got started with it. Zhuge Xianqiao knew it just by looking at it, which surprised Yi Rui.
"call out!"
An arrow was shot, and Zhuge Xianqiao frowned again. After letting Yi Rui try it a few more times, she gave an accurate data.
"Lower the height of the aiming device again."
The next day, a crossbow that met Zhuge Jianqiao's expectations was delivered to her as scheduled.
The person in charge of this light crossbow was a carpenter named Lu Mao.
"Miss Zhuge, this crossbow was built by me myself. It is restored one to one according to your design drawings. There is absolutely no problem. I have also completed the modifications that you have suggested for improvement. Take a look."
