Chapter 260

Tang Yin didn't have the patience to listen to Xuan Wang's verbosity, he raised his head to the side and said: "First try the power of your Pojun Crossbow! How to TXT download it!"

"Yes! Sir!" Xuanwang agreed, found the crossbow machine of the broken military crossbow, and then waved to call five soldiers over, asking them to work together to pull the crossbow string. The five soldiers looked at each other, spit on their palms one by one, rubbed their hands, and worked together to pull the arrow string. They heard a crunching sound of the crossbow string being tightened, and the long crossbow string was slowly pulled open.

Later, Xuanwang asked someone to take out three crossbow arrows from under the carriage. The Pojun Crossbow was large in size, and the arrows were thick and long. Each arrow was as thick as an adult's wrist. The arrows in front were wrapped in steel and were extremely sharp. He asked the soldiers to put the three crossbow arrows on the crossbow machine and aim them in the distance. He took aim at the dense forest for a long time, and then suddenly triggered the crossbow.

Just a bang was heard, and the crossbow string bounced back to its original position. At the same time, three crossbow arrows flew out together, and two violent snapping sounds were heard in the ears of the woods in the distance. People hurriedly looked up and saw I saw two crossbow arrows hitting the trees respectively, and their powerful force directly penetrated the trunk of the old tree that only three people could barely hold together.

"Yeah?" After looking at it, there was a sound of exclamation and gasping in the crowd. To be able to shoot through such a thick tree from such a long distance must be so powerful, not to mention that ordinary armor cannot withstand it. Even a spiritual warrior wearing spiritual armor can't bear it!

The army-breaking crossbow truly lives up to its name, and indeed has the power to break the army. It is not difficult to imagine that when the enemy and we are engaged in a frontal corps battle, our side suddenly uses a military-breaking crossbow to attack the enemy's phalanx, which can immediately cause chaos in the enemy's formation, allowing our side to establish an advantage before engaging in close combat with the enemy. .

Tang Yin looked at the crossbow arrows in the distance, his eyes were shining and his eyes were spinning. It was obvious that he was surprised and delighted by the power of the Pojun Crossbow. Although the crossbow was a bit large, it was not convenient to transport with the army. , but it does have its powerful attack power. After a long silence, he said to Xuan Wang with a calm expression: "Master Xuan, try your city-breaking crossbow again!"

Xuanwang smiled at Tang Yin and said, "Sir, you can't try the city-breaking crossbow in the woods!"

"Why?"

"Because it's too powerful, you can't see its effectiveness by just using trees as targets."

"Oh?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what does Master Xuan think we should use as a target?"

Xuanwang turned back, pointed to a mountain wall in the distance, and said, "We should use the rocks as targets!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion. They all felt that Xuanwang's tone was too loud, and the crossbow was too powerful, so it couldn't shoot through the stone, right? ! Tang Yin was also in disbelief. He asked: "Master Xuan, do you mean it can penetrate the stone and shoot into the mountain wall?"

"You'll know after you try it, sir!" Xuan Wang said with confidence, smiling.

I want to see if you are exaggerating or if it is true! This time there was no need for Xuan Wang to look for anyone. Tang Yin had already waved to his soldiers and said, "Pull the string of the city-breaking crossbow!"

"Wait a minute!" Xuanwang stopped Tang Yin, who looked at him in confusion. Xuanwang smiled and said: "Sir, the city-breaking crossbow cannot be pulled open by human power, it must be pulled by horses!"

"Ah?" Tang Yin was startled at first, but then he understood. No wonder Xuanwang had to prepare his own horses when he came. It turned out that they were used to pull the crossbow strings, but what kind of crossbow needs horses to pull it? This is incredible. Everyone around him had the same idea as Tang Yin, staring at Xuan Wang with big eyes and small eyes.

Xuanwang commanded the soldiers to gather together the five war horses that Tang Yin had prepared in advance. Then he took out the hemp rope and tied one end to the crossbow string and the other to the five war horses. Finally, he ordered the soldiers to beat them together. Horse hips.

Snap, snap, snap! With the sound of the whip whipping, the five war horses felt pain and moved forward together. Their forward movement also tightened the hemp rope and slowly opened the crossbow string of the city-breaking crossbow. At this time, Xuanwang asked people to carry out the crossbow arrows of the city-breaking crossbow.

This crossbow arrow is thicker than the three broken military crossbow arrows put together. It looks like a big tree stump and requires two people to carry it together to move it.

The soldiers laboriously placed the crossbow arrows on the siege crossbow. Xuanwang stepped forward, checked and confirmed that there was no problem. Then he handed over to Tang Yinyi and said, "Now you only need to cut off the hemp rope, and you can put the crossbow arrows in." Launched."

After hearing this, Tang Yin slowly walked over and stood in front of the hemp rope. He lowered his head to look at the tight rope, then looked at Xuan Wang. He suddenly shook his shoulders, and the scimitar appeared in his palm. As he waved his arm, With a click, the hemp rope was cut into two pieces.

As soon as the hemp rope was broken, the stretched crossbow string immediately bounced back, and the wooden stake on the crossbow flew out with a buzzing sound, like a black lightning, flying straight towards the mountain wall.

Click!

When the wooden pile hit the mountain wall, it made a deafening sound. The steel arrow in front easily smashed into the stone wall and penetrated deeply. The force was so fierce that even the ground trembled from its impact. Trembling three times. At least one-fifth of the long wooden pile penetrated into the mountain wall, as if a dead tree had grown out of the mountainside.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was dumbfounded. They were all dumbfounded and speechless for a long time, including Tang Yin. The power of this crossbow is far greater than that of the broken army crossbow, even ten times and a hundred times more powerful. With such a strong force, I dare not say that it can penetrate the city wall, but it is definitely no problem to shoot through the arrow stack.

When attacking a city, the defenders would hide behind the arrow stacks. With this weapon, the people behind the arrow stacks would also be fatally injured, which was very beneficial to the attackers. Tang Yin was the first to come to his senses. He looked around at the people present and asked, "My lords and generals, what do you think of the power of Lord Xuan's siege crossbow and army-breaking crossbow?"

Everyone woke up from their shock and shuddered involuntarily. They looked at each other and said in unison, "Powerful, terrible!"

Liang Qi's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed deeply to Tang Yin, and said, "My lord, General Yuan Rang and I are going to attack Tongmen. If we can bring Lord Xuan's army-breaking crossbow and city-breaking crossbow, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort, no matter attacking or defending!"

He did not ask Tang Yin for these two things directly, but just explained what benefits Tang Yin would have if he equipped him with them.

Tang Yin certainly understood that equipping Liang Qi with these two crossbows would undoubtedly greatly increase his combat effectiveness. He pondered for a moment, turned around and asked Xuan Wang: "Master Xuan, how many army-breaking crossbows and city-breaking crossbows have you made in total?"

Xuan Wang carefully stretched out three fingers.

Tang Yin asked suspiciously: "Three of each?"

"No! Master, it's three in total!"

Tang Yin was secretly angry and glared at him fiercely.

There were only three in total, even if they were equipped to the three water armies commanded by Liang Qi, it would be difficult to play a role. He bowed his head and thought for a while, then asked: "I will give you enough manpower and materials in one month, how many can you make?"

"Oh... If so, each crossbow can make about 30 units."

"What if we make array crossbows as well?"

"My Lord, array crossbows are relatively easy to make. As long as we have enough manpower, it shouldn't be a problem to make another two or three thousand in a month!"

"Okay!" Tang Yin nodded and said with a smile: "I will give you one month, 3,000 array crossbows, 30 each for breaking army crossbows and breaking city crossbows. If you can finish it on time, I will reward you heavily. If you can't finish it, your contribution to developing crossbows will be gone."

Xuan Wang bowed hurriedly and said: "I will do my best!" In fact, he didn't care much about merit and reward, as long as Tang Yin could provide money, places and conditions for him to continue to develop more crossbows. His interest and hobby was only developing crossbows.

It made sense for Tang Yin to give him a month. He calculated in his mind that if everything went well on this trip to Duji, it would take about a month to go back and forth.

When Xuan Wang was testing the crossbow, Xiao Na was also watching and was afraid of its power. This crossbow was actually a weapon to break Besa's heavy armored cavalry. If the two sides fought, the Tianyuan Army would use the army-breaking crossbow or even the city-breaking crossbow on a large scale, and the slow-moving heavy armored cavalry would become a live target.

Fortunately, Besa has reconciled with Tang Yin and there has been no war. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. Xiao Na secretly thanked her father for making a wise decision to negotiate peace.

After testing the crossbow developed by Xuan Wang, Tang Yin returned to Huaiyang and immediately ordered to allocate sufficient manpower to Xuan Wang. Everything he needed, as long as he had it, would be met. Tang Yin's style has always been vigorous and resolute. He does what he says and never delays what he promises.

After this, Tang Yin really valued Xuan Wang, and even set up a department for him in the future - the Arms Department. Of course, this is a later story.

The next day, Tang Yin and Xiao Na set off on the road to Du Ji. They were accompanied by the three brothers Shangguan Yuanrang, Yuanwu, and Yuanbiao, the dark arrow team led by Cheng Jin, and five young nobles from Besa, including Brian and Gray, plus Tang Yin and Xiao Na's accompanying guards. There were more than 100 people in the group.

Although Du Ji borders Feng Country, there is no road between them, and the border is full of deep mountains and bad waters, which is impossible to pass. They can only pass through Guannan County and Tianyuan County first, go north to Besa, and then go to Du Ji from Besa. The journey is long, more than a thousand miles, but fortunately everyone has superb riding skills, and there are fast horses from Mo Country, which greatly shortens the time spent on the road.

Tang Yin and his group slept in the open air, traveled day and night, and it took only four days to enter Besa.

With Xiao Na accompanying them, Tang Yin and his companions could indeed save themselves from many unnecessary troubles. At least, no one dared to stop and question them when they entered Besa with weapons.

Going west from the Pabu Prairie in Besa, they could enter Duki. However, it was easier said than done. The further west they went, the hotter the weather became, and the sparser the grass on the ground became. When they were close to the border between Besa and Duki, they could not find a single blade of grass on the ground. Looking around, all they could see was a vast and boundless desert.
