Chapter 212: The Weakness of the New Army

The attack distance of this serial giant crossbow is one-third further than that of the imperial standard weapons, and its lethality is definitely greater. The problem is that giant crossbows similar to the empire are also manipulated by innate qi refiners, and it is impossible to use qi refiners who draw qi into the body. This soldier can understand by calculating it himself. According to the consumption just now, even the realm of induced qi into the body, he can easily manipulate the giant crossbow attack.

In this way, it will be very difficult for the enemy's flying puppets, airships, and even the Qi Refiner in the Foundation Establishment Stage to get close to the air.

If there are ten such crossbows shooting at the same time, the Qi Refiner in the Foundation Establishment Stage will also be shot into a hornet's nest.

Su Jing was quite calm. He improved this weapon. If more than 40 crossbow arrows could not kill an eagle, he would go back to Yujing City and be a wealthy young master. A good archer can even shoot the eagle according to its flying posture without even locking it.

However, the shortcomings of this serial giant crossbow were also exposed. Once the shooter was nervous, he could shoot a box of crossbow arrows in an instant. Qi Refiners with rich combat experience could use the soldiers' hearts to tempt the arrows in the crossbow box and waste them.

But this is Taoist equipment, and if you want to change the shooting frequency, it is much more difficult than transforming the gun. With the integrated design, there is no way to make a fast and slow machine. If it is broken down and remade, the structure will become unstable.

This thing is mass-produced, and if people at the Jindan realm can only be made, it will be meaningless. A camp of 40,000 people will have to be equipped with 800 chariots. How many imperial troops are there? Once the Western Expedition begins, tens of millions will be needed.

In the blink of an eye, Su Jing had already had an idea. He could not transform the structure of the serial giant crossbow from the inside. He could start from the trigger and design a mechanical device, which was much easier.

The chariot continued to run wildly, and Su Jing's eyes searched left and right, and soon he saw a suitable target. It should be a dead tree, but it was wrapped in ice and snow, looking like a white boulder, and the height was ten feet away.

Su Jing issued another order, and on another tank, the soldier in charge of the crossbows immediately turned the gun and aimed at the pile of ice.

The Empire's crossbow fired steel balls, which itself is equivalent to a low-level magic weapon. The Soul-Leaving Cannon is the Imperial standard equipment.

The steel balls fired by the Mother and Soul Cannon are one big and thirty-six small. The largest steel balls themselves have tracking attributes, and the thirty-six small steel balls will follow the largest steel balls to fly and form a covered area. The low cost of this thing is the advantage, but it does not have the ability to destroy the thick city walls and is used to kill soldiers on the city wall.

The imperial army does not have a dense formation during field battles, unless it rushes into the enemy's position, and is at least two meters apart during the charge. The killing effect of the mother-child soul-leaving cannon in field battles is small. As for the function, it is to attack the enemy's charge formation.

The empire's giant crossbow has extremely strong penetration power. When encountering heavy armored cavalry, it can penetrate four or five in a row. However, this Mother and Soul-Leaving Cannon has a blunt attack effect and stops after hitting the target.

Su Jing also cannot increase the firing rate of this gun. The attack distance and power can be slightly increased. The firing rate is three shots per minute. If it is a person who is inducing the air into the body, he can only fire twice a minute. This is very slow. As the main weapon of the chariot, it is obviously not as good as a serial giant crossbow.

Bang!

The soul-losing cannon of the mother and son came out and hit the large piece of ice. The entire ice was bombarded and the dead trees inside flew away.

Su Jing's soldiers were stunned when they saw that the ten-foot-high ice was blown away. This power was hard to say whether the innate warrior could survive if he was hit. There was no one in the innate stage in this team. They thought of holding a tower shield in their hands and releasing Taoist techniques to strengthen them. Facing the scene of the mother-child soul-leaving cannon, everyone was trembling in their hearts.

I'm afraid even the people and the shield will be blown away. Whether it's dead or not depends entirely on whether the equipment and Taoist techniques are powerful.

Su Jing nodded. Such lethality and low firing rate can be tolerated. Su Jing cannot create a greater power, but no matter how powerful it is, the launch device is not safe enough. The enemy uses Taoist techniques in a distance, which is easy to destroy.

The stability of things in the army is the first priority. If the Mother and Soul-Living Cannon is used as the most crystal powder formation to pull, the firing rate can be increased immediately. However, any qi refiner in the foundation-building stage can sneak a hundred feet away, and a shattering-type Taoist technique can destroy the core of the crossbow.

The soul-leaving cannon of the mother and son, and the series of giant crossbows were all expected by Su Jing, and there was no accident. The near-defense crossbow could not be tested. Even so, Su Jing's subordinates were also very motivated.

The chariot galloped in the field, and passed several rivers in half a day. The performance of the chariot on the ice also satisfies Su Jing. He even let the chariot run on the ice for more than ten minutes without any signs of slipping. Such a technology cannot be done on earth, but in this world, it is relatively easy to solve.

After running for five hours in a row, the high-intensity consumption made the soldiers very tired and hungry. It was no easier to travel like this than to fight.

Su Jing felt it was almost the same. It was as dark as the bottom of the pot, so he stopped the team and camped directly.

After the marching training, it is camping training. Even if there are only two hundred people, everything must be followed by the rules of the large army.

Su Jing did not participate in the command, and Su Mu did not say a word. These soldiers chose a slightly flat ground according to their training habits. Because they were war horses of monster blood, they did not need one person, two or three cavalry when marching, and everyone only had one war horse.

A small group of troops did not have special logistics chariots. Four field chariots were separated and each occupied a corner. Two hundred people were all ten people and one tent, which was twenty tents.

The tents are all in the leather bags that carry you. The leather bag has spatial attributes and has no expansion effect. It was designed by Su Jing and the price is not low. The only meaning is to reduce the burden on soldiers.

A soldier took out the ** designed by Su Jing, drilled holes on the ground, quickly built the bones of the tent, and then covered them with cowhide. After a layer of oil cloth was laid on the ground in the tent, five soldiers on each side were laid with five pieces of leather, and then took a sleeping bag behind the horse.

Unfold the sleeping bag, the neck, waist, and feet inside, all slightly raised parts. Rub with your palms for a while, and these places will emit heat.

Zippers are a good thing, there are similar designs in this world, but there is no fully enclosed waterproof zipper.

The sleeping bags such as Su Jing are glued. The soldiers seal the sleeping bags first. When they come back to sleep, the temperature inside will be enough to withstand the cold.

Su Jing pays great attention to these details. It is very important to maintain the soldiers' physical strength and avoid non-combat loss. This is also the key to ensuring morale.

The soldiers left the tent and came to the middle of the camp. A large pit had been dug out on the ground and a fire for heating. Because of the Taoist art in this world, the fire in the middle of the barracks burned overnight and would not catch fire. Moreover, if the enemy ignites the fire, the enemy can find the existence of the barracks far away.

Above the camp, a small airship took off. The airship weighed only a dozen pounds, and a versatile metal bottle hung below it. From the holes around the bottle, dark red light was cast to the carriage at the four corners of the camp.

This is an early warning device to prevent enemies like assassins from entering the camp.

There are too many devices that can fly, especially things that can only fly three or five hundred feet away, and there are countless. It is quite easy to slide into the camp.

The soldiers were ready to eat. On the chariots in four corners, the wooden boards on the side of the chariots rose. The soldiers who were responsible for guarding covered them with felt cloth and turned into closed carriages. Six soldiers took turns to watch on the chariots.

Between the chariots, caves were made on the ground, javelins were inserted, and bouncing caltrops were arranged on the periphery, and ice walls were built with Taoism on three sides. If it weren't for the weather like this in the north, earth walls would be cast. The height of these walls could not even be stopped by the war horses until the shoulders of people.

The soldiers' wall directly behind the camp was slightly taller and was two feet thick. The war horses were arranged here and surrounded by felt cloth for heating.

Su Jing sighed in his heart when he saw the soldiers busy.

A camp with two hundred people is so complicated. What if it is two thousand people or twenty thousand people? No wonder the ancient marches were wasted most of the time on camping.

The ** I invented myself is really useful, such as fixing tents, javelins, building stables, and digging toilets. These things are very trivial. If there is no suitable tool, it will take more than an hour for the soldiers.

Su Jing and Su Mu lived in the same tent, but now there was no one to serve him. Su Mu went out to inspect and checked the military rations that the soldiers carried with him, which could be heated and eaten. After no problem, he returned to the tent.

"How do you feel?" Su Jing asked. He was a person who participated in military training and was used to this kind of hard work.

"It's okay. But these soldiers are too young and look very excited now. This is not the case with veterans." Su Mu was born in a military family, and many of the books Xiaoyaohou read for her were military. Since agreeing to Su Jing to establish the army, Su Mu has tried his best to learn knowledge.

These soldiers were elite enough, and she could see the problem at a glance.

"Only after the actual combat can we be veterans." Su Jing said: "They are not too young, they are too young."

"Tender?"

"Well, for the enemy, these little guys are tender and delicious and can be easily swallowed."

"Brother, are you planning?"

"I plan to go west in three years. In the border area of ​​the Northern Region, we can find a place where we are stationed, where the master will have an influence. We will pull 40,000 people over, rotate one camp after another, and go to the wilderness to find tribal battles. At that time, I guess many magicians will appear, just for training."

Seeing Su Mu silent, Su Jing said: "There is not much time, what can I train in three years? Even if it is ten years, these soldiers will not do it. Those who do not see blood will always be young boys. If you are kind and don't control soldiers, don't be afraid of sacrifice. Without the training of iron and blood, they will never grow up."
