In addition, there is a moat, and heavy wooden boards must be erected on it to allow passage.
After handing the design drawing to Jing Huai, the latter's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately reported this to Yang Qian.
After Yang Gan heard about it, it was also because he was fighting a siege for the first time, so he ordered 500 Xuanjia troops and rushed towards the camp.
Looking at the snow falling all over the sky, he couldn't care less, according to some older and experienced local people.
The wind and snow are getting bigger, and after the wind and snow stops, the temperature will be higher. Yang Qian is now seizing the speed to make ordnance while taking advantage of the wind and snow.
The conditions are a bit more difficult, but as long as the logistical supplies are endless, no one will fall behind.
In just one day, Yang Qian rushed from Jiashi City to the camp. The weather was already dark. If he hadn't been fast, he would have been too much to travel at night. It wasn't because of his physical weakness, but because his vision had been obstructed.
When driving in the wind and snow, we also bring the hidden men who are stationed here with us. We can find them according to some signs along the way. Otherwise, Yang Gan alone can have 500 cavalry? Save, save, pull.
Ten meters away, it is almost impossible to see clearly. If you are not careful, someone will get lost. This is the horror of a snowy day. You cannot see the person who is obviously around you, and he cannot see you. The call has already been heard. It was covered by wind and snow.
People in the south simply cannot understand the feeling of being filled with wind and snow and losing sight and sound.
After revealing his identity, Yang Gan went straight to the Chinese army's tent.
Jing Huai was discussing with some Mohist students and craftsmen all night long. When he saw the person coming, he immediately rushed out, knelt down on one knee, and said with cupped hands.
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
Yang Qianshi waved his hand skillfully and went to the desk. "Without courtesy, can anyone tell me the specific functions of these things?"
At this time, many Mohist students were confused.
Such a little dwarf turned out to be Wu Anjun. Because he was wearing a warm mask, his appearance could not be seen for the time being.
Jing Huai named a Mohist student who had vague leadership qualifications and said.
"Go, explain it carefully to your Majesty, and don't hide anything."
The Mohist student was stunned, immediately handed over his hand, and then began to introduce it eloquently.
I know the three-bow bed crossbow very well, so Linchong Lu's car is a bit interesting.
It's just that this catapult is a little different from what I imagined. I carefully recalled some catapults I had seen before.
It didn't seem to be in the shape of a car. It was very tall, at least five or six meters high.
The shape of this car reminds me of the troops that appeared in a game I played before, Age of Empires.
Maybe he felt a little hot inside the tent, so Yang Qian took off his mask. In an instant, the entire tent seemed to light up.
Many Mo family disciples widened their eyes. Many students who entered Xinhuo Academy had never seen Yang Qian before.
This was the first time I saw a man so good-looking. Several Mohist disciples nearby stood stunned on the spot.
Yang Qian felt that no one was speaking, so he immediately spoke without doubting that he was there.
"Why are you silent? Do you have the catapult I just mentioned?"
The leading Mohist stuttered and said, "Well, there are several kinds. Your Majesty, if we build such a huge catapult now, I'm afraid it will waste a lot of time."
"And the weather is cold, which is not suitable for such a catapult."
Yang Gan calculated that he could only throw three kilograms of stones at three hundred steps, which is about 450 meters.
This is too rubbish. The giant catapults from the Tang Dynasty could throw boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms a distance of three to four hundred meters.
"If I were to throw it with a weight of 20 pounds, how far would it be?"
The leading Mo Zhe scratched his head in embarrassment, tried his best to avoid looking at Wu Anjun's face, thought about it carefully and said.
"Maybe less than 200 steps away."
Yang Qian held his chin and walked around the Chinese army camp. After this period of time, he learned about Goguryeo.
Their bows and arrows are not strong, but their infantry and jungle warfare are strong. Their combat power is far from enough.
To the level of 300,000 elite cavalrymen during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Coupled with the weather problems, it is difficult to draw the bow and arrow, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to throw it 300 meters.
"Okay, let's make it according to this catapult, so that the distance can be increased, do you understand?"
The leader of the inkmen nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we just need to lengthen the tip pole. Although the improvement is not big, it is still enough for now."
"By the way, how many do you want to make?"
Yang Gan felt that this was a rare siege battle, so he didn't want to be frivolous. He just used hard steel to see how he could defeat the city.
With this first experience, you can make estimates based on this model in the future.
"There will be at least a hundred catapults and twenty Linchong Lugong chariots. As for the three-bow bed crossbows, they have already begun to be delivered. As for how many, we will know when they arrive."
Yang Qian said casually and almost fainted from the scare.
"Sir, Your Majesty, this, this is inappropriate. Normally, it takes us several months to make a catapult. Even if we make a hundred of them at the same time, we will definitely not be able to make them in less than half a year."
"Also, this is when the wood is plentiful and the weather is good."
Yang Gan said patiently, "Group all the craftsmen and painters, and each group will specialize in making one part. After all the parts are completed, another group will assemble them. This will improve efficiency."
Many Mohists were stunned just now, but after hearing Yang Qian's words, they fell into deep thought again. It has to be said that they have never used this kind of assembly line operation method.
The factories inside Zhuangzi are still kept secret. If you are not a direct descendant, we will not tell you at all.
"But, Your Majesty, all sizes are different, how can we make parts that fit perfectly, and each piece of wood is made without being carved by a craftsman..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Qian waved his hand and called a few carpenters from the Wanghai County Shipyard to explain all this.
The carpenters were very happy. It was the first time that a carpenter taught these Mohist children. Although they were all carpenters, the status of the Mohist children was obviously much higher.
When they arrived at a huge wooden house, the eyes of the Mohist disciples all stared out.
I saw a huge tree trunk in front of a very strange thing, and in just a moment of a cup of tea, it was divided into pieces of wood with neat width and height.
According to different wood materials, the number of parts will also be marked on it.
Directly splicing them from number to number, it's almost like building blocks.
The leader of the ink carefully calculated it based on the situation of sufficient wood and sufficient personnel.
Five days, only five days, the catapults will be produced one after another.
Such calculation results made the leader of the ink almost bite off his tongue.
This is just like modern people discovering that the mobile phone they used to use had to be charged twice a day, but the mobile phone they bought this time actually does not need to be charged for half a month.
This turned all the Mohists into members of the Shock Department.
He returned to the Chinese army's tent and began to calculate. In fact, the catapult did not require many things, and they were divided according to their functions.
A group of people working with wood.
A group of people working on round wheels.
A group of people handling iron parts.
A team of people handling the rope.
A group of people who make long tips.
In this way, things became clear, but Yang Qian had different opinions.
There is no ready-made iron ore here, nor is there any ready-made smelting equipment, so after describing the iron parts, you can directly place an order with Zhuangzi to tell you which parts you want and how much you want.
Hydraulic hammer + stamping machine + steel rolling mill, you can produce a large number of these parts in minutes, and it only takes a few days to transport them anyway.
After it was finalized, a large number of carpenters who arrived on duty began to join the assembly line team, and a table saw was placed out.
A large number of spiral blades have risen inside the tent. The wind is strong now, and such abundant wind power can directly charge a large number of batteries.
It’s just that the weather has been cold recently, and the battery’s power storage
The quantity has dropped by several levels, but it's a good thing it's made in a big way, otherwise it really wouldn't last long.
It's a pity that time is urgent now, and Yang Qian really doesn't have the experience to improve the catapult. Otherwise, with the electric one, the speed and efficiency will definitely make the people of Heshenggu City take the initiative to open the city gate and call daddy.
"Your Majesty, there is another matter that is more difficult to deal with."
"If there is anything difficult to handle, I will handle it directly for you today."
Yang Qian used to be a slow doctor when he was working. Although he is still like this now, at critical moments, he has developed a resolute character.
There is a difference between working for yourself and being your own boss.
He handles things absolutely quickly, accurately and firmly. Why does this happen? Don't ask, you will be forced to ask.
The leading Mohist said, "Your Majesty, although there is plenty of wood here, we do not have a large number of suitable stones. This is a plain. There are almost no large stones, and more are small stones. Of course, if we can use The net holds the pebbles and is quite powerful."
Yang Gan was stunned. This actually gave him a headache. Could it be that cement is used to make balls?
With the current weather, although it dries quickly, materials such as cement have been allocated to other places. There is really not much cement reserve in the county now, and a lot of infrastructure is being built.
At this time, Jing Huai said, "Your Majesty, it's actually cold here. We can get water and freeze it into ice balls. It only takes one night to make the ice balls."
"A twenty-pound ice ball falling from the sky is extremely powerful."
Yang Gan patted his thigh, "Okay, I'll do as you say and freeze it more. This stuff is inexhaustible and you don't need to pay for it."
"promise!"
After Jing Huai went to make arrangements, Yang Qian asked the Mohist next to him, "More and more craftsmen and Mohists will arrive here in the future, and the final number is estimated to be around a thousand."
"Whether I can trust you to manage this group of craftsmen and inks depends on your identity..."
Yang Qian stopped talking. At this point, you can understand what you should understand. Why do you need your brain to understand what you can't understand?
Mo Zhe looked at Yang Qian blankly, then excitedly raised his hands, bent ninety degrees, and saluted.
"Your Majesty, I am a member of the Mohist family of the Xia Kingdom. Although the Mohist family stipulates that Mohists must hand over their income, but I haven't turned it over for several years."
