Chapter 280

At juquanling, Wu Meng, Ding fan and Ge Tong, in addition to exchanging more than 50 fierce spirit birds, they also brought 10 mechanism chariots and 40 mechanism crossbows into Montenegro this time.

Although each of the more than 50 ferocious spirit birds is extremely ferocious and can easily grasp a weight of more than 2000 kg and fly into the air, in addition to Wu Meng's more than 100 guards, craftsmen and the necessary clothes and armor they wear, considering that they fly more than 30000 miles continuously, the total amount of goods they can carry must be reduced to less than 30000 kg.

In addition to tens of thousands of kilograms of medium and low-grade miraculous drugs, Wu Meng, Zhou Jingyuan and Ding fan considered the most useful weapons in the depths of the vast desert, namely mechanism chariots and mechanism crossbows.

The mechanism chariot should be able to fight in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, and the defense of the compartment should be strong enough. Even if it is made of quenched gold and iron, a medium-sized mechanism chariot weighs at least tens of thousands of kilograms; A medium-sized mechanism crossbow also weighs more than 1000 kg.

It is impossible to transport complete mechanism chariots and mechanism crossbows into Montenegro. Wu Meng, Ding fan and Ge tong can only reluctantly bring 20 sets of wind array boxes, 10 sets of variable shaft gear boxes, 40 sets of arrow array boxes and other core components that are most difficult to refine this time. Other people's components must be cast on site in Montenegro.

Fortunately, Chen Hai had led the Jingjue army to capture Zhuzhai, which was very rich.

Even though the previous casting of the counterweight catapult crossbow consumed a lot of quenched gold and iron, nearly 200000 kg of quenched gold and iron remained in Heishan City, which can be used to cast the box body, axle wheel, crossbow bed and other parts of the mechanism chariot and mechanism crossbow.

There are thousands of skilled craftsmen in the blacksmith camp in Montenegro. They are all slaves without a solid foundation of cultivation. They are far from comparable to the excellent craftsmen brought by Wu Meng and them. However, they have been following Chen Hai for half a year and have been preliminarily familiar with the way of flow operation.

Chen Hai selected more than 100 excellent craftsmen and set up the first foundry in Heishan with more than a dozen excellent craftsmen from juquanling. In less than three months, he cast and assembled ten mechanism chariots and 40 mechanism crossbows.

The mechanism crossbow that Chen Hai personally manufactured at the beginning can shoot 30 short gold arrows in one breath, but the mechanism crossbow and arrow array box are made by Chen Hai himself with extremely precious xuantai refined iron, which is extremely difficult for others to copy.

The mechanism crossbow uses a short and narrow quenched gold arrow. It has the strongest penetration within 100 steps, and even shoots through an inch thick quenched gold iron plate. However, at more than 300 steps, the penetration will decline sharply. It is very powerful in close combat, but it is not suitable for the battlefield of large-scale crowds.

At this time, the medium-sized mechanism crossbow that juquanling can mass cast is specially developed for the battlefield. Within a 1000 step range, the penetration is equivalent to that of the quenched iron arm bow. However, the medium-sized mechanism crossbow is much heavier than the melee crossbow originally developed by Chen Hai. Each one weighs more than 1200 kg, and the fastest firing speed is reduced to six rounds per breath.

Even so, such a high rate of fire, range and penetration are surprisingly high.

Considering that the most elite archers can only shoot an arrow every two to three breaths, 40 crossbows are gathered together, which is equivalent to gathering seven or eight hundred elite archers to cover the arrow rain on the narrow contact surface in less than a hundred steps.

At a distance of 1000 steps, even if the enemy's elite cavalry rode on the Royal Green cunning horse, it took 20 or 30 breath to rush to the front of the array. Even considering the replacement and cooling of the arrow box, such a long time is enough for 40 crossbows to pour out a base of 6000 crossbows and arrows, such as in a violent storm.

The medium-sized mechanism crossbow is still too heavy for ordinary generals. The body of the crossbow weighs more than 1200 kg; Supporting a base number of quenched gold arrows, it weighs more than 2000 kg. This kind of mechanism crossbow can only be assembled on the mechanism chariot to advance and retreat freely on the battlefield with complex situation.

Assembling the crossbow on the mechanism chariot and assembling it into a crossbow chariot is the real Shenji chariot envisaged by Chen Hai.

Chen Hai used the spear array to perform miraculous feats in the wars of attacking jinxiangling, heifalcon cliff, magic Moon Lake and shiyuexia. Fan Dachun and Han Wen paid special attention to strengthening the training of the spear array when they were compiling and training the elite army. Half of the 6000 troops often compiled by the elite army were heavy armored spear soldiers.

In addition, the Heishan craftsman camp also used a large number of quenched gold and iron materials to cast 3000 excellent special iron spears. The grass-roots military officers studied hard the unique skill of sudden spike based on the secret shape of spike.

Ordinary fierce soldiers who hold spears and can stab one heavy stab at a breath are already quite powerful. However, in order to strengthen the attack density of the spear array, in the dense array close to people, the grass-roots military officers who have a solid foundation in the mysterious environment, no matter how skillful they are in the cultivation of other unique combat skills, they have no place to use. Only the unique skill of sudden stabbing directed at the former enemy, After destroying the Qi and blood of the whole body, you can stab three or more times in one breath. The power is extremely powerful.

After half a year's training and strengthening in all aspects such as military armour and grass-roots military officers, at this time, the 3000 sharp soldier spear array often compiled by the Jingjue government guard army is several times stronger than that in the shiyuexia war. However, after seeing the performance of dozens of mechanism crossbows lined up, fan Dachun, Han wendang, Deng tong'er and others were scared in a cold sweat.

Even if the spear sharp soldier wears scale armor, it is difficult to stop the dense shooting of quenched gold arrows without the protection of a large shield at close range.

The slow advance speed of the spear array is also an insurmountable weakness, which means that even if the whole army is destroyed, it may not be able to advance before the ten mechanism chariots equipped with crossbows.

The crossbow chariot is covered with quenched gold armor plates. The two layers of quenched gold armor plates are half an inch thick. Although they can't directly withstand the near-range xuanbing killing of the strong in the middle and late stage of Mingqiao territory, they can't stop the strong in the middle and late stage of Mingqiao territory from attacking the crossbow chariot without stopping.

Fan Dachun, Han wendang, Deng tonger and others are also full of hope that the spear heavy armor square array will shine brightly in the war to capture Pinglu oasis. Who would have thought that it would become useless in front of the mechanism chariots and crossbows cast and assembled by their Heishan craftsman camp?

When casting and assembling these crossbow chariots, Chen Hai had already transferred more than 200 elite troops from the jingjuedau guard camp to create a new crossbow camp.

Chen Hairang, Wu Meng, Ge Tong and Qi Hanjiang, together with the generals of the Jingjue army, have repeatedly deduced on the sand table countless times in the past two or three months how to cooperate with the tactics of the chariot and crossbow battalion and the Warbird battalion, the sharp riding battalion, the halberd and shield Battalion, the long bow battalion and the sharp soldiers with heavy spears.

However, fan Dachun did not experience systematic military training and believed in their inherent experience. They usually paid more attention to the tactical deduction with the spear array as the core. Until this moment, many old tactical concepts collapsed.

Fan Dachun was born as a horse thief. Although their accomplishments are not weak, they are simple and rough in running the army and have many insurmountable bad habits and disadvantages. Chen Hai can only use this violent way to rebuild their confidence after destroying them again and again, so that they can quickly grow into truly qualified generals.

Now there are ten crossbow mechanism chariots assembled, and the elite army can get rid of the sand table and carry out on-the-spot war training exercises. Now Chen Hai can soon be familiar with the new tactics with the crossbow chariot as the core.

It is likely that the gold and iron materials in Montenegro are still too limited, and a large number of gold and arrows need to be supplemented from juquanling to support a large-scale war.

At this time, Dong Ning also understood more deeply why Chen Hai was so angry when he handed over juquanling to all the families. Dong didn't take advantage of it.

Juquanling's mastery of the manufacturing secret of crossbow chariots is second. Juquanling's daily production of 60000 kg of quenched gold and iron is the key to the large-scale manufacturing of crossbow chariots, the popularization of quenched gold arrows and the large-scale preparation of quenched gold grade excellent armor and weapons.

If Dong can monopolize Juquan mountain and want to break through Qintong pass and occupy Yanjing, it may be difficult, but it will no longer be delusional to destroy the Musashi army, Hexiang army and dominate the northwest in three to five years.

As a disciple of Hexi, Chen Hai handed over such an extremely important resource to all families. How can Dong not be angry?

However, no matter how angry Dong was, there was nothing he could do. At this time, he had to expect juquanling to supply ten crossbows and thirty-five thousand gold arrows a year.

After all, under the leadership of more than a dozen great craftsmen, thousands of craftsmen and craftsmen make more than a hundred crossbows and chariots every year, and can cast four or five million gold arrows. Now Dong can get about one tenth, and can get an additional supply of nearly one million kilograms of gold and iron.

If they were desperate to tear their faces, Chen Hai and the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion could not take juquanling back from the families, but they could still do it together with the families to exclude Dong.

Wu Meng's ability to take out the core accessories of ten crossbow chariots at one time is also the accumulation in the past two years - this is also the share that the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion should share in juquanling. It was originally used to strengthen the Huwei camp of the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion. However, knowing that Chen Hai wanted to do great things in the desert, Wu Meng naturally brought them to Montenegro.

Of course, Dong Ning also understood why Chen Hai could not give juquanling to Dong at that time.

Giving juquanling to Dong will increase Dong's strength, but it will also expand Dong's ambition for no reason, thus setting off a bloodier and larger-scale war in Yanzhou and consuming Yanzhou's potential strength to resist the invasion of Luocha demons; At the same time, it is not difficult for Dong Ning to imagine that after monopolizing juquanling, Dong will strictly control the people of Chen Hai and Zhaoyang tinghou house to ensure that all secrets will not be revealed.

Now Chen Hai gives juquanling to the nine families, which can not only improve the strength of the nine families, but also suppress Dong's unnecessary and even dangerous ambitions.

Ge Xuanqiao didn't know the secret of the blood cloud wasteland, nor did he know what Chen Hai's real ambition was. When he saw the strong strength of the crossbow chariot, he sighed slightly in his heart.

The crossbow chariot was first used by the black Yan army in the war. Even if it is not large at this time, it can not finally determine the direction of the war, but it has caused considerable casualties to the Huben army in Lichuan and Heyang.

However, this situation has only lasted for a few years or more. The crossbow chariots in the hands of all families have reached the scale of 100 or even hundreds of times, or the more powerful crossbow chariots and the stronger Wuwei puppet Arm Armor are made. How will the war form of Yanzhou develop, and how will all families treat juquanling and Chen Hai?
