Chapter 5 The Tinder of Technology
Qingzhou City North City.
A team of more than thirty barbarian cavalrymen under the city was pointing at the city gate, and laughed sarcastically from time to time.
In the eyes of the prairie barbarians, the soldiers in the Central Plains were vulnerable, and when they saw them, they would only stay in the city and dare not come out.
On the city wall, 300 soldiers were standing by, and 20 archers drew longbows, ready to shoot at the barbarian cavalry wandering outside the city.
"Xiaowei Lu, King Qi is here." In the middle of the city gate, a seven-foot-long black-faced man in scaled armor was watching the barbarian cavalry vigilantly.
This person is Qingzhou Colonel Lu Fei, who is in command of Qingzhou soldiers and horses.
"King Qi?" Lu Fei's voice was like a bell. "What is he doing here, it will really cause trouble."
Turning around, he saw Xiao Ming go up the tower.
When the barbarian cavalry outside the city saw Xiao Ming dressed in luxurious clothes, there was a sudden commotion. This was obviously a big man.
One of the barbarian cavalry, restrained his horse and bent his bow, kept shooting arrows at Xiao Ming.
With a "whoosh" body, the barbarian cavalry's arrow just fell on the city wall, because it was too far from the city gate and the range was not enough, this arrow was just to scare Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming was very calm, the technology spar in his mind contained a lot of knowledge, and Xiao Ming knew the range of this ancient bow and arrow, so when the bow and arrow came, he did not hide.
Lu Fei looked strange when he saw it. Today's King Qi seems to be a little different.
"The last commander has seen His Highness." Lu Fei bowed.
"Don't take out these red tapes now, what's going on now?" Xiao Ming asked.
The fief belongs to Xiao Ming. He is not only the King of Qi, but also the governor of the six states, which is equivalent to the position of commander-in-chief. This Lu Fei is only the captain of Qingzhou, under the management of Xiao Ming.
"Go back to Your Highness, so far, only a group of thirty barbarian cavalry lingered outside the city and refused to leave." Lu Fei said.
Xiao Ming raised his eyes and looked around. These barbarian cavalrymen wore fine scale armor, held recurve bows in their hands, and sat down on tall and strong horses, like elite soldiers.
Compared with the barbarian cavalry, his soldiers wore shabby armor, and the ice blades on the soldiers' hands were rusted. Only Lu Fei's scale armor was still of a higher grade.
"Is there any news from Cangzhou?" Xiao Ming used his powerful knowledge to start analyzing the current situation.
"Everything is normal in Cangzhou."
"Strange, since Cangzhou City has not been broken, how did this barbarian cavalry appear here."
"I'm also surprised that Cangzhou City is dangerous, and it is the only place that Qinling can pass through. If the barbarians invade, they must first break Cangzhou City..."
When Lu Fei answered, he felt strange in his heart. King Qi, who never asked about everything, asked the key in just a few words.
Xiao Ming noticed Lu Fei's contempt for him when he climbed the tower, and couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart.
In the entire fief, except Qian Dafu, who regarded him as a prince, no one else looked at him directly.
He deliberately said: "In that case, Colonel Lu might as well lead the soldiers to take down this barbarian and ask him clearly."
Lu Fei's face turned green, his temperament was reckless, but he was not without brains, "His Royal Highness, there are more than 30 cavalry in Qingzhou City, although the number is equal, but we are definitely not the opponents of these barbarian cavalry and shooting, out of the city gate that is die."
"Are Colonel Lu scared? How will the barbarian cavalry know how they are here if they don't take them down?" Xiao Ming said slowly.
Lu Fei's face changed from green to red, and he argued: "It's not the last commander who dares not, it's really futile..."
When the heat came, Xiao Ming just wanted to beat Lu Fei, he said, "Really? It's possible."
"Your Highness, this is no child's play." Lu Fei felt that King Qi was crazy.
The barbarian cavalry under the city did not seem to have any intention of leaving immediately. Xiao Ming said to Lu Fei at this time: "Go and call Chen Bingcao."
Lu Fei didn't dare to disobey, otherwise the King of Qi would make him go out of the city to fight again, but he would die.
After a while, a thin man in a green robe official uniform appeared on the tower.
"Is there any caltrops?"
Bing Cao is the official in charge of weapons and food in the Dudu's mansion. The most effective way to deal with cavalry is to turn them into infantry.
This caltrop is specially used to deal with cavalry horses.
Chen Bingcao showed an embarrassed look, "His Royal Highness, there are, but not many, only more than thirty."
"More than 30 pieces! What are you doing, soldier Cao?" Xiao Ming said angrily.
Chen Bingcao smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness, it's not that the officials are lazy, it's really a clever woman who can't cook without rice. The craftsmen of the equipment department don't have enough iron and briquettes to repair and manufacture weapons."
It was so poor, Xiao Ming was almost mad, he said, "Now you have all the blacksmiths in the city."
Then, Xiao Ming turned to Qian Dafu, "Bring out all the iron and bronze utensils in the palace to the equipment department."
"Ah?" The muscles on Qian Dafu's face trembled, showing a pain in the flesh.
Lu Fei opened his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say.
"Lieutenant Lu, you continue to monitor this group of barbarian cavalry. It looks like this barbarian cavalry is going to eat under our city before leaving." Xiao Ming glanced at the barbarian cavalry sitting on the ground.
These barbarian cavalry also took them too seriously, which was humiliating him.
Although Qian Dafu was in pain, he still collected the bronze tripods and iron utensils from the palace.
All twelve craftsmen in the city have arrived at the equipment department, and some handymen have already started burning fire to melt copper and iron.
"His Royal Highness, everyone is here, but some folk craftsmen still don't know what iron caltrops are and can't forge." Chen Bingcao said cautiously.
"It doesn't matter, this king will teach them personally." Xiao Ming showed a strange smile, facing the huge dilemma, at least he still has a technology spar.
The technology library is only a part of the technology spar, and the most important function of the technology spar is to transmit knowledge.
This kind of conduction is similar to magic, similar to Taoism, similar to Daigo empowerment.
Simply put, the technology spar integrated into the consciousness can subtly input scientific and technological knowledge into the minds of others by connecting the consciousness of others.
Xiao Ming is equivalent to the central computer at this time. He can use consciousness as a data line and import his knowledge into other computers, that is, other people.
However, what to transmit and what to conduct, this is all Xiao Ming's autonomy.
So Chen Bingcao watched in surprise as Xiao Ming took the seven craftsmen to go and talked for a while. When he came back, the seven craftsmen immediately threw themselves into forging.
What surprised him was that the caltrops cast by these seven people were even more standard and sharper than the caltrops made by the craftsmen of the equipment department.
"Is this still King Qi?"
In Chen Bingcao's eyes, King Qi has always been the object of ridicule by others, but now there seems to be something wrong.
Xiao Mingxiao was satisfied with his ambition. He succeeded. By explaining this method to cover up the transmission of knowledge, these craftsmen thought they understood the manufacture of caltrops.
However, these caltrops existed during the Warring States Period, and they are actually very simple, just a nail similar to a triangle.
