Chapter 1042 Technology-First Scale-Up

,

The soldiers of the Hexi Jiedushi ate and continued to build the military camp. It was still early before dark.

Take the opportunity to build another line of defense to provide living assistance for the follow-up troops.

The Yulin Flying Cavalry raised a hot air balloon to look for when Qin Li's team would be able to return.

They were not worried. Qin Li was stable. He would rather not have military merit than take risks.

Qin Li was on the road with his team. He ran too far. He was in a hurry when he went, and he had to take care of the horses on the way back.

They ate something on the horse. When the horse rested and ate grass, they picked mushrooms, dug wild vegetables, and looked for medicinal herbs.

One of the few people had a thin book with pictures printed on it, introducing mushrooms and medicinal herbs.

If you see something that is not on the picture, you are not allowed to touch it.

Before coming out, Li's manor gave it to them. Li Yi selected common local things, which ones can be eaten and which ones must be cooked before eating, and they were classified.

"I found a bunch of Rhodiola rosea. I'll dig it out and bring it back. Li Dongzhu will use it."

"I saw Fritillaria. I'll dig it out. The current month is just right."

"The Tibetans don't know how to live. They don't pick so many good medicinal herbs."

"If Dongzhu didn't give us the booklet, we wouldn't know there were treasures everywhere."

"In the future, local people just need to dig, and life will be better."

"If you want to plant it, you'll dig it up. Plant it yourself."

"This is Cordyceps sinensis. Li Dongzhu said you can take it back and stew it. He doesn't know if it's good for treating diseases."

"The skin care products of Li's manor are suitable for local use. The wind blows on your face, and your face is all chapped. It hurts to talk."

"The leaves that look like celery and coriander are Chuanxiong. You have to dig them. Li Dongzhu is so powerful. He's in Chang'an and knows what's here."

Qin Li led people to find things when the horses were resting. If there were mushrooms or something with an introduction in the picture, they would pick them.

When harvesting, they were not so tired. One by one, they recovered from the tense state of fighting.

The man on the top of the mountain holding a telescope and on guard looked around boredly and wanted to dig some too.

Some horses were eating and found their owners squatting on the mountain for some unknown purpose, so they trotted over and tilted their heads to look.

"Medicinal herbs, the medicinal herbs that Li Dongzhu named. If you take them back, Li Dongzhu will be happy and maybe give you a few more candies. Go eat grass."

The soldier who was digging introduced the situation to the horse and continued to dig.

The horse watched his owner digging, dug around with his hoof, dug out something, put his mouth close to it, sniffed it, and snorted.

"Ah! This is Codonopsis pilosula, it should be autumn, not bad, OK, go back and tell Li Dongzhu that you dug this for me, and I will reward you with candies."

The soldier was about to say that the time had not come, but he found that this one was really thick.

Wild ones that have been wild for many years are still better than those planted even if the season has not come.

The horse looked at it again, felt bored, turned around and ran down, and continued to look for grass to eat.

When the horse was almost recovered, Qin Li led his men back.

Zhaxi Kure's condition has eased a little, but his fever has not completely subsided, and his cough is not very severe.

The captain killed a yak and grilled it for him to eat. Guan Lin's family was given a leg of yak.

The family was happy. After the last tunnel was dug, they just waited for the Tang army to come and they would go in immediately.

Now they stored food and water, and the food was fried and smoked before being sent in.

Some strong-smelling medicinal herbs were also put in there. They were worried that the Tibetans would find them by smelling the medicine.

Now the tunnel was full of medicinal smells, and the Tibetans could not distinguish them.

As for the water, they boiled it and poured it into the water bag. A part of it was sent over. After two days, no one came, so they replaced a batch of water bags.

"Commander-in-chief, we chased for hundreds of miles, but only saw traces, and did not find the Yulin flying cavalry." The captain reported to Zhaxi Kure while he was eating barbecue.

Zhaxi Kure stopped, looked at him, and shook his head slightly: "No need to look for it anymore, go contact other places and prepare for battle."

He saw that the other party did not want to use the Qianhu people to chase and kill the Yulin Flying Cavalry. It was all his people's fault for being too quick to talk and making the Yulin Flying Cavalry sound so scary.

What's more, it would be useless even if they found them. There were nearly 3,000 Yulin Flying Cavalry, and their horses were probably recovered now.

It was a dream to kill 3,000 Yulin Flying Cavalry with more than 5,000 people that a Qianhu could mobilize.

Even if they all rushed up, it was not certain who would kill whom.

Before, the Yulin Flying Cavalry's horses were tired. Once the horses were not a problem, how did the Yulin Flying Cavalry chase and kill him? He had a lot of people at that time.

"People have been sent out. They should be migrating and joining us. We are not afraid of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers."

The Qianhu's words were obviously not confident enough.

The Tang Dynasty had hot air balloons, explosive packs, and sky rockets. The commander's personal soldiers said that hot air balloons flying in the sky could not be hit at all.

The horses were startled when the explosive pack exploded, and a large number of people died when the flying monkey fell to the ground.

How to fight against weapons that have never been seen before?

The enemy was floating in the sky and using a telescope that could see far away to observe, and the scouts were under the enemy's nose.

The Qianhu thought about it, stood up and went outside, looking at the clouds in the sky with worry.

"Fu Qian, look at the arrows of the Yulin Flying Cavalry." A man from the tribe brought two arrows.

The ones stuck in people, now take them out.

Fu Qian is the title of the Qianhu chief, Fu is the Fu of the governor, and Qian is the Qian of the Qianhu.

The local area is actually called "Dongben", and the transliteration of the commander is "Maben".

The Qianhu took the arrow and observed it. The arrowhead was made of good iron, and there was no curvature on the arrow shaft, and the arrow feathers were neat.

His first thought was that he was rich, and the Tang Dynasty was really rich.

The tribe could not produce such good arrow shafts and tail feathers, not to mention arrowheads.

There must be a lot of inferior products for making such arrow shafts. How many birds do you need to choose feathers from?

No, the Tang Dynasty can raise geese, and this is goose feathers.

He didn't know that the arrows made by Lijiazhuangzi used new technology.

The wood is of course good wood, hardwood.

Then there is a lathe, which turns out the shaft.

The shaft is easy to deform unless it is dried.

At this time, there is a mold, an iron mold, and the arrow shaft paulownia oil is placed in the mold to heat and then cool, so that it is fixed.

It is not to use a knife to cut a little bit, and then discard the deformed ones, or soak them in water and press them.

The lathe first splits the wood into strips, and the wood strips go into the rotary cutter.

The Shaofujian, the Junqijian, the Gongbu, and UU reading www.uukānsｈu.net all use the second-generation single lathes made by the mother lathe.

They made more useful weapons for the Tang soldiers. Bamboo arrows were no longer used. They were all made of wood, which could solve the problem of tension deformation.

The lathe in Lijiazhuang was moving towards higher precision. As long as there was a mother lathe, the rest would be easy.

This was the advantage of technology and industrialization. As long as the Tang had enough arrows, they could defeat the enemy with arrows.

The only thing the enemy could do was pick up the Tang arrows, saying pitifully.

"Fu Qian, there is no rust on the arrowheads, it is easy to treat. The soldiers said that the arrows used by the Tang army before were wooden feathers, and the arrowheads were rusty."

Qian Hu's men sighed when they talked about this. Sometimes they would try to put something on the arrows.

But the enemy had alcohol and could suture. If they dug out the arrows and rinsed the wounds, they would not be afraid of rotting.

I don't have alcohol. It is said that the Zamp had some, but they burned it later.
