Chapter 418: A Battalion of Heavy Axes and a Battalion of Divine Arms
"Okay, I understand." Wu Nian nodded and said.
Liu Zhixing took the time to say something, then turned 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 private soldier to invite Zhang Sheng. Then he left the 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 special officials and soldiers in charge of guarding these places. It is difficult for ordinary people to enter the arsenal, but Wu Nian only needs to brush 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. He asked his 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, and the bowstring used is a special mixed material with a strong pulling force.
This means that the God's Arm Bow has a disadvantage, requiring help from someone to string it.
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 he quickly put it down.
Let’s talk about it later.
Say 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 on the side.
"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 Liaodong's generals. 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. After the soldiers brought Liang Baikai, he drank it in one gulp, and then said to Wu Nian: "General, the divine arm bow in the arsenal now,
Has it reached a 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.
"Yeah." 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 arrowhead and the iron plate on the breastplate erupted into sparks, and then the crossbow arrow was firmly fixed on the target.
"If this shot 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 target 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 generals and officers' armor and forge the iron sheets to be thicker."
"Correspondingly, 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. The number of divine arm bows in the hands of the Meng Yuan people should not be many, but the Chu country must have a lot.
You have to be careful.
"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 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 when he heard this and punched him with his fist.
"Boom!"
Wu Nian laughed when he heard this and said: "Wang Gui used to be a sick man. 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 hand them over.
Give a voice.
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. Can these heavy armored, heavy axe-armed soldiers and divine-armed archers come in time?" Wu Niangang entered the gate, looked up at the sky, and thought to himself.
Time waits for us.
Although he has stepped up his efforts and taken big steps to expand his army and power crazily, 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 war between the Chu State and the Meng Yuan Dynasty.
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.
"Hmm. Did something happen at home?" Wu Nian was suddenly taken aback and asked nervously.
Chapter completed!
