Chapter 568 Blame Me?
In the period of cold weapons, most of them won by numbers, and the side with more troops had a natural advantage.
Datang's military strength is the largest among the surrounding countries. If there is a Liannu capable of restraining cavalry, why not sweep the grasslands.
"Your Majesty, please move." Duan Lun said.
"Let's go to the school grounds."
Li Shimin and Duan Lun came to the school grounds. Duan Lun opened the box and took out the crossbow inside.
"Your Majesty, you only need to install the crossbow bolts, click here, and the loaded crossbow bolts will be shot out continuously." Duan Lun introduced to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at the crossbow in Duan Lun's hand with fiery eyes, as if looking at a peerless beauty.
For him, there is no shortage of beauties. In a sense, Zhuge Liannu is more attractive to him than beauties.
"Your Majesty, I will load the arrows now." After Duan Lun finished speaking, he took out the arrows from the box and began to load them.
It is not so much an arrow as a nail.
The whole arrow is not long, about a foot or so, which is more than 20 centimeters.
It took Duan Lun nearly a cup of tea time to install the arrow.
"Your Majesty, the Zhuge Liannu is indeed powerful, but it also has great flaws. All the arrows must be finely polished. The cost of the crossbow and the arrows is very expensive. It also takes a long time to load the arrows." Duan Lun Said.
Li Shimin didn't care. Isn't Datang's Mo Dao expensive?
For him, as long as it is powerful, he is not short of money now.
"Come on, set the target."
After the target was erected, Li Shimin held the crossbow, pointed at the target, and pulled the trigger.
brush brush~
I saw an arrow shot out at a very fast speed.
When the crossbow in his hand did not feel any vibration, Li Shimin put down the crossbow and came to the target.
Of the fifty arrows, not many actually hit the target, only a few or eight.
Li Shimin didn't care about these things. The crossbow arrows fired in fifty bursts must have been used by the large corps in battle, so they could just be fired at the crowd, so what accuracy is needed?
Even for archers in the army, the main thing in daily training is to exercise their arm strength and the speed of archery, and their accuracy is secondary.
He mainly looked at the lethality of the Liannu.
The ancients have long understood the range and effective range.
Normally, it would be no problem to shoot an ordinary bow and arrow two hundred paces away, but the arrow is no longer a threat.
Not to mention iron armor, even leather armor is difficult to shoot through, unless someone is unlucky and gets shot in the eye.
So Li Shimin wanted to see if the crossbow arrows were two hundred paces away, would they have any lethality?
"Not bad." Li Shimin praised.
In ancient times, judging whether it has lethality depends on whether the arrow hits the target and whether it can penetrate three points.
And the crossbow arrows on the target are more than three points, the arrows have shot through the target.
In other words, the lethality of the Liannu is indeed two hundred paces away.
"How long will it take to build [-] Liannu?" Li Shimin asked.
He has already seen the power, and now he can't wait to equip the army with continuous crossbows.
Duan Lun smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, the cost of a repeating crossbow is about [-] pieces. This does not include the arrows. These are secondary. The most important thing is that the workmanship of the repeating crossbow is very fine. This repeating crossbow It took a dozen highly skilled craftsmen several days to make it."
Of course, this is also the same as just doing it at the beginning. There are many things to explore. After you become proficient, you will definitely be able to improve a lot faster.
But with the number of craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, not much can be made in a day.
Li Shimin was secretly speechless. He had heard Duan Lun say that the cost was expensive, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect it to be so 'expensive'.
A repeating crossbow needs 100 guan, wouldn't it cost [-] million guan to make [-]?
Not to mention not counting the arrows.
Although the arrows can be recovered after the battle, the loss in them is not small.
Although he is not short of money, Datang also has a lot of places to spend money, and the military expenditure is already large, and there are opinions if other departments are added.
It is no wonder that during the Three Kingdoms period, the Liannu improved by Ma Jun would be lost.
Cao Cao was so poor that he asked people to rob the tomb, and he even made a captain Mojin. How could he have the money to make a Zhuge Liannu?
Naturally, the manufacturing blueprints could only be sealed up, and then they were lost somehow.
"If you work hard, how much can you produce in a month?" Li Shimin asked.
Duan Lun considered it carefully and said, "At most a thousand."
The most important thing to be a courtier is to keep some points in your speech, and you can't talk too much.
Don't you see, when Qin destroyed Chu, Ying Zheng asked his generals how many soldiers and horses he needed to destroy Chu. Wang Jian said that he needed 60, but Li Xin only wanted 20.
Li Xin got his wish and became the main general to destroy Chu, but he returned in a big defeat.
Although the defeat was due to a rebellion within the Qin State, which led to the defeat, everyone knew that Li Xin was not to blame.
But if you lose, you lose. In the end, Li Xin was refrigerated and died in depression.
As for Wang Jian, leading an army of 60, he destroyed the state of Chu and became a prince in the first battle.
Li Xin's mistake was that he talked too much and didn't consider unexpected factors.
With Wang Jian's ability, does it really need 60 troops to destroy a Chu State whose capital was moved to the capital after being beaten?
Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Use righteousness to win by surprise.
But most of the generals would not be surprised if they were not forced to.
Oddity also means danger, and Li Xin can only be unusual because he wants to grab the position of coach.
For Wang Jian, what he wanted was stability. As long as the 60 troops fought steadily and the general was not a fool, he could destroy the Chu State at that time.
According to Duan Lun's estimation, it is not a big problem to make [-] crossbows a month with all his strength.
It's his normal job to do it, and it's cheating if he can't do it. He naturally knows what to say.
"In one month, I need [-] crossbows, including arrows, and all craftsmen who exceed it will be rewarded." Li Shimin said.
Li Shimin naturally knew that the courtiers like to keep three points for talking, so he directly asked for [-] sticks.
"The minister takes orders." Duan Lun responded.
The amount Li Shimin said did not exceed his budget, so naturally he would not refuse.
……
Lin Xuan played with the two giant pandas in the garden for a while before returning to the yard.
I don’t know if it’s because of animal training, but the two giant pandas seem to have evolved. Normally, giant pandas eat only when they sleep.
But these two giant pandas have been in contact with him for a long time, and the time for sleeping has been reduced a lot, and they usually play with each other.
As soon as Lin Xuan entered the room, he saw Li Lizhi sitting there looking at the account book with a tired face.
"Why don't you take a rest, just read these books in the future." Lin Xuan said with some distress.
Li Lizhi smiled and said: "My mother-in-law asked me to be housekeeper, so I naturally have to do my best, and I can't be perfunctory. It is not easy for my husband to accumulate these family properties. I just look at the account books. There is no hard work."
Lin Xuan touched his nose, he really didn't work hard, and left everything to others.
As for whether anyone would embezzle, he didn't care about it. Most of the businesses are in partnership with others, so naturally some people worry about it.
"Be obedient, don't look at it yet, take a rest, and just accompany your husband." Lin Xuan snatched the account book from Li Lizhi's hand and said.
Li Lizhi blushed, and whispered: "Husband, I still feel a little unwell, why don't I let Chunyue and the others accompany you."
Lin Xuan: ...
"What are you talking about? I mean, don't read it, just chat with me." Lin Xuan said a little speechlessly.
It made him very anxious.
Li Lizhi blinked her eyes. Do you blame me for being so ambiguous?
