Chapter 1344: Han Banner World (Thirty-Four) Weapon (Part 2)

Several iron cages covered with black cloth were dragged in, and several cavalrymen stood nearby on horseback. In the distance, the crossbowmen of more than a dozen divine machine crossbows were giving a final inspection of the crossbow machine. This crossbow machine was equipped with a base. , the crossbow can move left and right and up and down. Gao Yuan likes this kind of magical crossbow. There is no blind spot when shooting, and the shooting angle can be adjusted during the shooting process. The ability to fire continuously reminds Gao Yuan of the machine gun in his previous life.

Seeing that the inspection below had been completed and the troops were ready, several cavalrymen on the opposite side stretched out their spears and lifted up the black cloth on the iron cages. There were actually more than a dozen wild wolves of various sizes inside. Once the black cloth was removed, these wild wolves were revealed. The wolf immediately stood up, grinned at the cavalrymen in front of him, and let out a low growl in its throat.

"It's really not easy to catch so many wild wolves in Dayan County now." Gao Yuan smiled and said to King Gu: "The cavalry have been running for several days. We cast such a large circle and only caught a dozen of them.”

"Are they going to be targets?" Wang Jian asked.

"Well, General, let's wait and see!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

In the distance, several cavalrymen were running towards us on horseback, holding a thin rope in their hands. With a crisp sound, the front railings of several iron cages fell down, and the wild wolves inside roared and ran away. He went out and chased a few cavalrymen.

The cavalry on horseback screamed strangely, tempting the wild wolves to chase them. After running for tens of meters, they suddenly turned and turned to the side. However, more than a dozen wild wolves had no time to turn around, and they were already exposed to the magic machine. Within the range of the crossbow.

The sound of ringing sounded immediately, and the crossbow arrows were controlled by the crossbowmen and shot at the wild wolves. In an instant, there was a burst of wailing, and seven or eight wild wolves immediately fell to the ground. A few of them luckily escaped the previous round of blows and turned to flee to the other side, but the Shenji Crossbow flexibly turned its head and chased their butts and shot them all the way. After shooting several arrows, they finally Shoot them one by one in the open space.

"Good guy." Wang Jian looked at the shooting speed and flexibility of the divine machine crossbow. He couldn't help but change his expression, "With this kind of weapon in hand, the cavalry will probably become history." At this time, his mind was thinking about the overwhelming cavalry attacking in black. If he deployed it on the defensive front, he could not help but change his expression. With this kind of magical crossbow, no matter how many cavalry come, they can only stay in front of the battle with hatred.

"Not necessarily." Gao Yuan shook his head slightly and said: "This thing is really powerful, but it is too expensive to build, and there are too many parts that make up it. It is too delicate and very easy to damage. Unless you have too much money, otherwise it will not be easy to use." Large-scale equipment is not realistic. Just maintenance and repairs cost a lot of money every year. "

Wang Jian took a deep breath. "Your Majesty, is this divine machine crossbow one of the weapons we can purchase?"

"Of course, but General, if you want to buy this kind of weapon,

I'm afraid we will have to send some technicians to help you repair it, and the required parts will have to be shipped from Dahan. This cost will not be low. "

"Can your technician teach maintenance techniques?" Wang Jian then asked.

"Of course there is no problem. It can be taught." Gao Yuan said cheerfully.

"That's fine. I'll buy this magical crossbow. It's good to buy a thousand units in the first batch." Wang Jian stretched out a finger.

"A thousand units?" Gao Yuan was also startled, "General. I have said before that this thing is delicate and too much is not good for the army. Besides, our arsenal can't produce one a year now. Thousands of units, for the first batch, I will give you a maximum of 100 units, and I will also send two technicians there, firstly to facilitate repairs, and secondly to teach maintenance techniques. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Jian was overjoyed. "But I also heard that the big man has a weapon that uses gunpowder, which is very powerful. Wang Jian does not expect to buy this kind of weapon, but can the king open his eyes to it?"

"Why not? And this kind of weapon is also in the list of weapons that General Wang can buy." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Gunpowder weapons were originally developed by my big man. In order to get this, our researchers have spent a lot of money. Later, Qin and Chu used some disgraceful means to steal this achievement, but the thief was just a thief after all. In the development of this weapon, they were still far behind us. Gao Quan! "

Gao Quan came up with a plate with two round objects on it. Wang Jian reached out and picked up one, and his hand sank slightly. This thing was actually made of iron. Looking at the petal pattern, it turned out to be quite beautiful.

Gao Yuan also picked up one, "This thing is called a grenade. We have specially set up a team called grenadiers to throw this. The tail of this grenade is a fuse. During combat, the fuse is lit and then thrown When he reached the enemy, he exploded with a loud bang. No matter how thick the armor he wore, he couldn't stop the blast."

"So powerful?" Wang Jian has been away from the Central Plains for several years and really doesn't know much about this thing.

"Take General Wang to watch." Gao Quan smiled and stepped back. After a while, the experimental field in the distance was filled with straw men wearing armor, and several grenadiers were gearing up and moving their bodies there. .

"Start!" With the order, the fuse of the grenade was ignited, and several grenades were accurately thrown into the scarecrow by the grenadiers. With a few thunderclaps, Wang Jian's heart was beating wildly, and he tried his best to steady his mind, but behind him, However, several of the soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies were crumbling.

The scarecrows that had been blown up by grenades were quickly presented. Different from the scarecrows that had been hit by arrows earlier, these scarecrows wearing helmets and armor were much more miserable. Basically, they were either missing arms or legs. The miserable one, the lower half of his body was missing, and the remaining torso was also covered with shrapnel.

"What a powerful grenade." Wang Jian suddenly stood up and looked at the two grenades on the tray in front of him. "I understand, these patterns are not for looking good, but because when the gunpowder explodes, these patterns can be used as boundaries. , break it into pieces and use it to hurt people.”

"The general is really smart, you can tell at a glance." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Can we buy this grenade?"

"Why not? What I showed you today is all something you can buy, and this is also the good thing I put at the bottom of the box. Of course, there is another good thing below, but our technology is still not good enough for this thing. It’s immature and cannot be supplied on a large scale, so it can only be supplied in small quantities,” Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Is there any weapon more powerful than grenades?" Wang Jian was really shocked.

"Of course there are, but the number is very small. If it weren't for the fact that the enemies faced by General Wang are quite difficult, I would really be reluctant to part with them." Gao Yuan said.

"That big food in black clothes is so powerful?"

"What's even more powerful is the religion they believe in." Gao Yuan sighed, "This kind of religious belief can make people crazy. General Wang, the reason why I am willing to sell you these weapons is because I 3617/' >I hope you can keep them out of the territory and never let them enter my country. This can be regarded as my selfish intention!"

Wang Jian nodded, "I understand, but they are still far away from the king, but now they are in front of me. Regardless of whether the king sells me these weapons or not, I will fight them to the end."

Gao Yuan nodded, "Okay, let's take a look at this thing next. However, this thing is too bulky and can only be used to defend the city. It is unlikely to fight with the army."

Four draft horses dragged the carriage slowly. Wang Jian saw that the wheels of the carriage left deep marks on the ground. The wheels of the big man's carriage were covered with something they called rubber, which was extremely elastic. Wang Jian saw She had been riding this kind of carriage from Mengchi to Dayan County. On the concrete road, she could hardly feel the bumps, but now when she saw the mark, she knew how heavy the things being dragged on the carriage were.

The felt cloth on the carriage was removed, and two dark metal lumps appeared in front of Wang Jian.

"We call this weapon a cannon, and it is also driven by gunpowder. However, the range and destructive power are not comparable to those of crossbows and grenades." Gao Yuan introduced.

Wang Jian's breathing was a little rapid. The grenade shocked him. He never thought that there was a more powerful weapon in the world than a grenade.

"Gao Quan, what project are you performing for us today?"

"Your Majesty, there are three main types of projectiles to be tested today. One is a solid projectile, used to attack cities and break down walls, one is a scatter projectile, used to kill infantry, and the other is a chain projectile."

"Let's start!" Gao Yuan waved his hand.

A few miles away from the observation platform, there was a city wall-like building built of earth and stone. Two cannons were unloaded, and a dozen gunners were busy around them. After a while, the gunner raised his head and looked at Gao Quan: "Report to your lord, everything is ready."

On the stage, Gao Yuan handed a few wads of cotton to Wang Jian, and took two wads himself, stuffing them into his ears. As soon as he finished doing all this, the cannon below started roaring.

A cloud of smoke rose up, hiding the entire cannon and the gun crew members. The strong smell of gunpowder smoke assaulted the nostrils. When the smoke dissipated, the two gun crew members cheered in unison. Today, they shot accurately. After the bombardment, the city wall-like building opposite no longer existed.

The subsequent scattershot and chain bombs caused damage to the infantry, which stunned Wang Jian even more. The straw man in armor could hardly be found intact, and had completely turned into fragmented pieces.

"Artifact!" For such a weapon, Wang Jian could only give such an evaluation.

"It can't be said that it's a divine weapon." Gao Yuan shook his head, "We can't mass-produce this thing now. These two statues are not sold to you, but given as gifts. Used to defend the city, they are the only weapons. Big. Don’t worry, general, we will prepare enough ammunition for this cannon.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Jian stood up and brought his fists to the ground. (To be continued...)
