I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Chapter 128 A real man should play big!
Zhenguan six years, the first month.

Just after the New Year in Zhengdan, several thunderclaps came from a hidden mountainous area in Hebei.

After the thunder.

A young man emerged from the thunderstorm.

That's right, it's Li Mu.

This time Li Mu was not as embarrassed as before.

Look relaxed.

On closer inspection, it seems that something is different.

I saw a faint golden energy shield appearing all over his body.

"Is this the aura shield? Not bad! Really good!"

Li Mu had a gratified expression on his face.

Finally, there is a serious skill that can be seen.

Those Pegasus Meteor Fists before, to put it bluntly, all relied on brute force.

It's too outrageous.

This is not bad, although it is a defensive skill, it looks very cool.

At least it's pretty good for pretense.

Well, very good, very spiritual!

Check out your properties again.

【Host: Li Mu】

[Faction: Datang]

[Boundary: The 30th Realm]

[merit points: 200 million]

[Sin points: 0]

[Item: Charge]

[Space: 20m, upgradeable]

[Skill: Aura Shield]

【Life: +90 years】

【Mission: Help Lord Chikushi to restore the country】

The realm has been improved, the merit points have been reduced, the sin points have been cleared to zero, an additional item called "Charge" has been added, the space has been upgraded to 20m, a skill bar has been added, and the lifespan has increased to 90 years.

Well, that's about it.

Everything else is easy to understand, but what the hell is this Charger?

Li Mu was a little strange.

Take out the so-called charge from the space system.

Take a look, damn it!Isn't this the trumpet used by the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to launch a general offensive on TV?

how?

Is this asking me to play against the Japanese in Datang?
Just then, the system beep sounded.

[Ding, charge, after blowing with spiritual blessing, you can increase your morale by 30% and combat power by 10%]

I rub it, is it so awesome?
Is this a group attack skill?

Good guy, this thing is simply an artifact.

Not bad!
. . . . . .

Three months later.

Near the pier, there is a newly built secret base.

At the gate of the base stood several strong men from Hebei with slightly exaggerated chest muscles.

Each of these people holds a steel knife, and there is a mark on the steel knife, which is engraved with "Made by Hegang Workshop in the fifth year of Zhenguan".

That's right, the latest batch of experimental products is not perfect, but it is definitely on a higher level than ordinary weapons.

These are all veterans recruited by Li Mu, all of whom were fighters on the Hebei border.

These people are acting as security guards at this time, guarding the secret base with solemn expressions.

inside the base.

"Mr. Jingyang, this crossbow...isn't it too big?"

"You know what a fart, if you want to be big, a real man will play big."

"..."

Last winter, Li Mu made a huge fortune by relying on briquettes, which is still the kind of monopoly, and now he has plenty of money, so he started to prodigal.

Niu Dehua next to him looked at this big guy, sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Old cow, let me tell you, this thing is called a ballista. It can shoot an arrow weighing a stone. It is amazingly powerful, but the cost is a bit expensive."

When Li Mu thought of the cost, a look of pain flashed across his face.

If he hadn't made a fortune from the coal mines last winter, to be honest, he wouldn't dare to waste it like this.

"Mr. Jingyang, is this giant crossbow going to be used on the battlefield?"

"Not only to be used on the battlefield, but also on ships."

That's right, Li Mu's main purpose is to install it on the ship.

At the beginning, it was planned to get the bronze cannon up.

It's a pity that the ships currently built can't withstand this kind of firepower, and we have to wait for future upgrades before experimenting.

Therefore, the ballista became a priority.

This crossbow is modified from the previous eight-ox crossbow.

After all, the sea is not a peaceful place. A ship without weapons is like a walking lamb, and it will be slaughtered and swallowed at any time.

Don't look at some ships that are merchant ships on weekdays, but when they are at sea, they become pirates in a blink of an eye, and they switch roles without hesitation.

Li Mu suffered from this aspect before, and regarded this era as the era of maritime trade 500 years later.

I thought that by sending a few ships out, I could start doing business.

As a result, only one came back in the end.

Alas, still too young.

So, now that he's learned how to behave, he wants to play pirates, doesn't he?I will play with you.

Who will be the pirates at that time may not know yet.

Li Mu patted the ballista receiver made of fine iron, and said leisurely, "If it wasn't difficult to manufacture and the ship couldn't carry it, I would like to make it bigger. This specification is still too small."

Small?You call this small?Are you kidding me?

Niu Dehua felt that Mr. Jingyang must be acting aggressive, yes, he was acting aggressive.

In fact, Li Mu really didn't dare to spend too much money on this, because this thing wasted a lot at sea, the daily maintenance was too troublesome, and the actual lifespan was not long, so spending too much money would not be worth the candle.

Anyway, as long as the weapon is more advanced than others, it doesn't need to be too advanced.

"Mr. Jingyang, this is a crossbow. If we make a crossbow privately, will something happen?" Niu Dehua asked worriedly.

"Alright, old cow, I have a document from the Ministry of War, it's all right."

Fuck, you can get all the documents of the Ministry of War, this Duke Jingyang has a great background!
Niu Dehua couldn't imagine, what kind of family background is such a young son who can reach the sky with his hands and eyes?
Incredible!

Anyway, it's not within the scope of Lao Niu's cognition.

However, Lao Niu is also very lucky to have such a thick thigh.

Fortunately, it was picked up by Mr. Jingyang in Taihang Mountain.

Otherwise, the current Lao Niu and his younger brothers are probably still living a precarious life of bandits.

"By the way, Lao Niu, have you dug out all those sand sculpture barbarians who fled into the mountains?"

When it came to business, Niu Dehua quickly replied with a serious face, "Go back to Jingyang, and all of them have been driven out. Except for a small number of disobedient ones who were sent to the county king for education, the others have honestly gone to grow cotton. .”

"Well, that's good. You've done a good job and deserve praise. Go and collect some rewards later, and help me distribute them to my brothers when I get back."

"Thank you, Lord Jingyang!"

"Take a good rest for a while, and then tell the brothers to practice more water skills. In a few days, we may have to go overseas."

When Niu Dehua heard that he was going to go to sea, his eyes lit up immediately, "Dare to ask Mr. Jingyang, but what is the mission?"

"I need you to go to Chikushi Island and do great things!"

"That's a good feeling!"

As soon as Niu Dehua heard that there was something important to do, he immediately became interested.

"By the way, Xue Shu will also let you know, let's go together then."

"Here!"

While the two were talking, the technicians over there who were debugging the ballista suddenly roared.

"After debugging, prepare, let go!"

boom!
A loud bang came.

The entire body of the ballista shook backwards, and even the surrounding soil suddenly sank several inches.

This startled Niu Dehua, who had never seen anything in the world, and his body shook involuntarily.

Then, a stone bomb flew out in a parabola, and then with a muffled bang, it hit the grass in the distance heavily, splashing a huge piece of grass in an instant.

Immediately after that, a technician ran over to measure the distance and record it.

After finishing the record, he hurried over and handed the record sheet to Li Mu respectfully.

Li Mu took it over and took a look, "I'm holding it, it's only 150 zhang, it's unqualified, it should be [-] zhang anyway, I'll improve it."

After speaking, he took the technician and walked towards the ballista, leaving Niu Dehua alone in the wind.

Why is a hundred feet not enough?

To know what a hundred feet is, the Tang Army's most powerful hard crossbow is only thirty feet, which is still a rare kind.

Are you still not satisfied with a hundred feet?
It's so cruel, right?
But think about it carefully, if this thing can really be modified to 150 feet, when the two armies face each other.

Two rows of ballistas shot his face first, and then let the archers shoot in turn, and then the army array advanced layer by layer.

Fuck, it's against the sky!
