Chapter 198 Upgrade Ballista
This time, the Chinese Legion captured more than 10,000 enemy troops, all of which were mixed into the legion. There were 10,000 more people than when they came. In the face of money and the future, more than 10,000 people voluntarily joined the legion. However, some people who were dissatisfied with discipline, or who were originally officials under Zhang Yi, were sent to the mine for work.
On this day, everyone discussed major events in the main city.
Guo Jia first said, "Commander! It's the third day we are in Jinyang. The news that we occupy Jinyang is probably spread. At this time, the city of Huaxia is hollow, and it's time to go back."
"It's true. Staff Guo, please analyze with me how the situation will be after we occupy Jinyang?"
Qing Cang understands the importance of this matter more than anyone else. If someone is interested in attacking the city, Huaxia City may be lost. Because it is located very special, it is only dozens of miles away from Xiaquyang and not far from Guangzong. There are yellow turbans entrenched there.
According to historical records, there will be no problem in Huaxia City, but that is only the record when he did not occupy Huaxia City. It is now very different. Due to his joining, although it has little impact on the general trend, some changes in details are unpredictable. Jinyang City is a rich place, but as a state government and a political center, it is too conspicuous.
"Commander, then I will tell you my opinion. Jinyang, as the prefecture of Bingzhou, is the political center of the entire Bingzhou. Now that Jinyang is captured by us, it means that all the documents of Bingzhou cannot reach here. During this period, the news that we occupy Jinyang will inevitably spread, and the other eight counties will be deprived of restrictions. Such a major event will inevitably affect Luoyang, and they may send troops to retake it. Therefore, this place is not a place for a long time. We can place a small number of soldiers to defend the city. After it grows, if Luoyang does not send troops, we will increase our protection."
Luo Xiu said, "As the state government, the population base is huge, why don't we recruit soldiers and let these people guard the city? In this way, the city can be protected!"
Qing Cang forgot that there was another military genius Luo Xiu, and no one was more suitable to defend the city than him. He thought a little, maybe he could let him defend the city.
Guo Jia replied: "Although that's right, the loyalty of the newly recruited soldiers remains to be verified."
Luo Xiudao: "As long as public and private distinction are clear, there is room for promotion, and there are generous rewards, no one will refuse. Moreover, with me, you don't have to worry about these new recruits being disobedient! Staff Guardian Guo, you still don't understand soldiers."
"soldier……"
Guo Jia has never been a soldier and has only been a few months since he joined the Chinese Army. He has not often gone to the military camp and does not understand the soldiers. It is understandable that he does not understand the soldiers.
Finally, Qing Cang stood up and resolved the two people's discussion.
"Okay, you don't have to fight anymore. I have a plan in my mind. Brigade Commander Luo, you will take your brigade soldiers to stay in Jinyang City to be responsible for recruiting new recruits and training. The more new recruits, the better. If you encounter a siege, you cannot defeat them. Keep your strength."
"Yes! Commander, I will do this job well."
"Also, I will stay here for you, and they will produce weapons and vine armor for the recruits. These people are very powerful and the things they produce are more advanced than those of my Huaxia City. At least I will stay for you all the crossbows and rushing cars."
With these things, if the enemy wants to attack for a strong force, they will need at least 100,000 troops. Of course, this is not considered a siege weapon such as a stone casting machine, but even if there is one, with Luo Xiu's talent, he will definitely be able to escape danger.
"yes!"
"Okay, this is the matter in this city. If you have nothing else, we will return to Huaxia City tomorrow."
The entire Jinyang City has been almost renovated in the past few days, and all the city gates have been repaired. Even the moat has begun to be dug up, and all of this is implemented according to the standards of Huaxia City.
When he saw that everyone had nothing else to do, he wanted to promote the meeting, but a guard trotted in.
"Report, Craftsman Yang asked for a visit."
Craftsman Yang was one of the hundreds of craftsmen. His head was spinning very fast and he knew some mechanical structures very well. Therefore, Qing Cang gave him a special task, which was to upgrade the crossbow.
"Let him in."
At this time, a middle-aged man led four people to push a crossbow cart from outside. This crossbow cart was not much the same as what he brought because it was equipped with two crossbow arrows.
The man said, "Let it go!"
The others stopped and placed the crossbow truck.
"Craftsmen Yang, it seems that your work has made progress."
The man said: "Yes! Lord City, I have made some minor changes to your crossbow cart. Look."
He walked to the edge of the crossbow cart, pointed to the arrow and said, "These two arrows are very similar to the principle of continuous shooting crossbows. They use double strings to achieve continuous shooting, thus saving half of the time to load."
Time can determine the outcome. The time you save may allow you to attack a few more waves. This is amazing. You can only attack two waves for a period of time. With this device, you can directly achieve double attacks, and the damage to the enemy will naturally be doubled.
Craftsmen Yang introduced the advantages of the entire upgraded crossbow cart, and Qing Cang was concerned about: "How is the reliability?"
"Don't worry, we have proved that this crossbow car is very stable through a day's test. So I dare to take it over and take it for you to see it."
"Good, let your people make a big upgrade to our existing slinger cart."
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
"Also, if you have achieved success in upgrading your weapon, go to the warehouse to receive 30 hangs of money as a reward. Other participants will each receive 10 hangs of money."
"Thank you, Lord, if it's okay, then let's go and arrange the upgrade first."
Craftsmen Yang was about to withdraw, but he called him.
"Wait, this upgrade will be carried out in batches, in units of hundreds, and cannot be upgraded at one time."
He said this to ensure that during the upgrade process, he still has his own disposable crossbows and cannons, and not all of them will be removed. When the enemy arrives, what will he use to fight them?
"Yes! It will definitely be upgraded within one month."
"Also, I want you to upgrade another one before tomorrow and I will take it back to Huaxia City."
He wanted to upgrade all the crossbows in Huaxia City at one time.
"yes!"
"Go down!"
After receiving the order, Craftsmen Yang withdrew from the arrangements. As for the vine armor and continuous shooting of crossbows, they were already in full swing.
As for whether the lost vine armor and continuous shooting crossbow will fall into Luoyang's hands, this is already beyond the control range, and all they can do is upgrade.
He turned to Luo Xiu and said, "There are troubles to Brigade Commander Luo in all matters in Jinyang."
Luo Xiu nodded and said, "Commander, don't worry, I will definitely do it!"
"Okay! After I go back, I will send someone to transport Huayuan here, and a dedicated person will participate in the management. I hope you can cooperate well."
He also wants to carry out monetary reforms in Jinyang, and all cities occupied by him will be managed in a unified manner to form an economic network.
