Chapter 43 Daqin Tiangong Institute

"Brother! Just let me go! Yun'er promises to obey the command and never be willful!!"

In the northern camp, in the most direct commander's tent, the seventh princess Zhao Yun was holding her brother's arm and shaking it constantly, acting coquettishly and insisting on going to the army to go out.

For Zhao Yun, who has been keen on the battlefield since childhood, this northern expedition to Dali is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her!

After all, besides the emperor's brother, who would have brought her by her side and even given her the opportunity to command troops?

No matter how martial he is, Zhao Yun's daughter is destined to be out of fate with the battlefield in this life.

But for Zhao Yun, this is something that is difficult to accept no matter what!

Therefore, facing this dream-like only opportunity, Zhao Yun almost used all her strength, and insisted on taking her with the army to fight with the emperor!

"Oh my Yun'er! This is a large army going on a war, and it is even more deeply engaged in the enemy's territory! It's not a child playing house!!"

Zhao Zheng is really a bit overwhelmed by this weird and eccentric Yunmei, who always likes to think about it.

"How can you take risks with yourself as a princess? If you really have a few shortcomings... but you ask the emperor to explain to your father and Concubine Yue?!"

Zhao Zheng patted his head with a headache, but he could not agree to Yunmei's request no matter what.

On weekdays, he can spoil her and let her behave.

But at the moment, he was still confused and had difficulty getting started with such a military and national affairs, but he had no extra thoughts to take Yunmei to the army to go to the war?

You should know that this is not about traveling around, but about marching and fighting!!

"Oh my good brother! Yun'er promises to stay in the central army honestly and stay with you, the general, for half a step away! How could there be any life danger?!"

After saying that, Zhao Yun's eyes rolled and she said with a giggle.

"Besides, Yuner is very skilled in martial arts and can also protect the safety of the emperor's brother!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they burst into laughter!

Not to mention the Grand Marshal Zhao Zheng, even the other generals in the tent couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but laugh, and burst into laughter in an instant.

After all, if even Prince Qin, who is the commander, faces life and death, it means that the entire army is on the verge of collapse and has almost no way to escape!

If this army is truly defeated, what if it is just a personal courage?

Therefore, the Seventh Princess made everyone laugh with just one word, and Zhao Zheng waved his hands even more amused and crying. He really had no choice but to deal with himself, Yunmei.

"Ahem...that great commander, why don't I and the military advisor go inspect the military first..."

Seeing this, Gongsun Ji, the general of the Northern Expedition, coughed twice with great awareness. He immediately looked at the military advisor Zhuge and signaled to retreat first and not disturb the general and talk to His Highness the Seventh Princess.

"Well... I'm just thinking this!"

Zhuge An naturally understood, so he immediately stood up and saluted, walked out of the tent with General Gongsun, and inspected the military.

"Uh... the general, the last general will take his leave first."

In a moment, the generals in the tent stood up and left, and no one dared to leave them in the tent again, which affected the general's handling of such private matters.

"Yun'er..."

Zhao Zheng looked at the tent that was suddenly empty, couldn't help but caress his forehead and sighed.

"You are really good at raising questions for you!"

...

"Military Advisor Zhuge, you said that you had transported a batch of the latest military equipment from the rear... but you didn't know what it was? It was so mysterious?"

Gongsun Ji and Zhuge secretly stepped in the army and started chatting while walking.

"Haha... General Gongsun, don't worry, you and I will know it when you look at it!"

Zhuge An naturally would not have any intention of hiding the general Gongsun Ji, who was about to fight side by side in the Northern Expedition. He just swayed the feather fan and immediately joined the Arsenal Department with Gongsun Ji.

"General Gongsun, come and see this thing..."

Under Zhuge An's instructions, the soldier opened the encapsulated wooden box and immediately took out a slightly wide-sized hand-held crossbow from it, holding it in front of the general Gongsun Ji in both hands.

"This is……"

When Gongsun Ji saw this, he knew that it was a common crossbow in the army, but after he bought it, he immediately discovered the difference!

"How can this crossbow... save as many as ten arrows?!"

Gongsun Ji was shocked immediately, but he looked at the ten neatly arranged crossbow arrows in the trough, his face full of incredible expressions!

For a moment, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face changed drastically!

"General Gongsun expected it to be good! This crossbow is different from the previous single-engine crossbow, but is a continuous-engine crossbow that has been improved by our Daqin Tiangong Academy!"

Seeing this situation, Zhuge secretly chuckled and explained.

"This crossbow can fire ten arrows in a row! Although the crossbow arrows must be specially made, and the lethality is slightly weaker than ordinary single-engine crossbows, it is better than continuous instantaneous attacks. There is no need to frequently use crossbows, which can greatly improve the continuous combat capability! Therefore, the king specially ordered the Tiangong Academy of Works and the Ministry of Works to work together day and night to build 50,000 consecutive crossbows for our northern expedition army!"

And just as Zhuge's secretly smiled and explained, Gongsun Ji was almost stunned at this moment!

What exactly did he hear just now?!

The continuous-engine crossbow can be launched ten arrows in a row, and there are still a total of 50,000 equipped in the army!!

As a veteran who has led troops to fight for more than 20 years, he is very aware of the terrible effect of this kind of crossbow after large-scale assembly on the battlefield!

If anyone can get a hand in hand, who dares to rush straight to our army?!

Such a continuous-engine crossbow is worthy of the killing artifact!!

"Who did this... do you do this magic weapon? But how do you name it?"

Gongsun Ji played with the crossbow in his hand one after another, and he couldn't put it down for a moment. At the same time, he was extremely curious about the person who invented the crossbow, and he didn't know how expert he was!

"Haha... This thing was first initiated by me and was later developed by our Daqin Tiangong Academy. Therefore, the king named it... Zhuge Crossbow!"

Speaking of this, military advisor Zhuge An seemed a little embarrassed and was unwilling to accept such a reputation.

After all, in his heart, if the King had not established the Tianji Academy and specialized in invention and creation, even if he had such an idea, it would be extremely difficult to develop and succeed.

Therefore, in his heart, the name that he likes most about this crossbow is definitely not the Zhuge crossbow, but the Qin King's crossbow...

"It turns out that it was made by the Military Advisor Zhuge... The last general admires it! Admiration!"

Hearing this, Gongsun Ji looked at Military Advisor Zhuge, but he became more and more admirable.

First of all, he knew that the second-ranked figure in the army would be the best military advisor that His Highness Prince Qin absolutely trusted!

Secondly, after hearing the military advisor's strategy, he had long admired the military advisor's strategic and military capabilities and praised them very much!

Therefore, he has always been humbly called the last general in front of the military advisor, but he dared not have the slightest disrespect.

"General Gongsun is over-reputable..."

Zhuge An didn't care about such a false reputation at all, so he waved his hand immediately and signaled that the general would be over-reputable.

"Bang bang bang!"

Gongsun Ji was playing with itchy, and immediately shot three arrows in a row at the target on the side!

He could not believe that he could see such a sharp continuous shooting arrow, and he couldn't help but shook his head and said.

"This kind of magical object can be called a killing weapon for the country!!"

But what shocked him even more was far more than that. When military advisor Zhuge secretly led him to a larger crossbow, he opened his mouth again in disbelief!

"What a killing weapon is this again?!"

Of course, Gongsun Ji had seen a bed crossbow, but this kind of bed crossbow that relies on multiple people to twist the wheel axles, then mounts the bow and arrow, and is launched on standby. It has a huge size and a very long range, and its lethality is naturally very terrifying.

But the bed crossbows that are often seen are single-bow bed crossbows, but the novel bed crossbows seen in front of you are three-bow bed crossbows!

He was a little surprised for a moment. Could it be that even the crossbow can be shot even?!

"General Gongsun, this is an improved version of a single-bow bed crossbow - a multi-bow bed crossbow! It was also developed by our Daqin Tiangong Institute of Technology. This crossbow consists of three large bows, which can be opened by multiple people at the same time. This not only increases the speed of Zhangxian's arrows, but also greatly increases the power and range of the bed crossbow!"

Zhuge shook the feather fan lightly and explained patiently.

"And these improved bed crossbows can be used separately with a variety of different crossbow arrows! First, they can be loaded with arrow pockets, each pocket holds dozens of arrows. Once shot out, they will shoot all over the sky, which can kill and injure the enemy on a large scale. Therefore, this arrow is also called the "cracker arrow."

Zhuge An first pointed to the arrow hole on the side, and then pointed to the extremely huge single-arrow arrow on the other side.

"Secondly, these 'step arrows' can be loaded. When siege, multiple crossbows will be continuously shot, so that they can be nailed onto the rammed earth city wall. When our army attacks the city, we can use this to climb the city, so it is also called 'step arrows'!"

When Gongsun Ji heard this, Fang Chang suddenly realized the real use of such improved bed crossbows!

But the more he knew about the killing weapon on this battlefield, the more he became more curious about the "Tiangong Academy" that Zhuge Junshi mentioned frequently!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look intently and couldn't help asking and said.

"Military Zhuge, but I don't know what kind of holy land this Tiangong Academy is?"

When Zhuge heard this secretly, he just smiled lightly, then stood with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely.

"The cleverness of the heavenly craftsmanship will bring me great merits for generations... It is for the Heavenly craftsmanship Academy."

...

"The Great Qin Tiangong Academy seized the fortune of heaven and earth, gathered famous craftsmen from hundreds of schools, created masterpieces of great ingenuity, and gathered treasures of the nine provinces!

This was the first creation of the King of Qin, and since then the people have been blessed with the blessings of the people for generations!

This is for the purpose of making contributions to the present and benefiting for thousands of years!”
