Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu

Chapter 608: New weapon

Just as Zhuge Liang was talking to Ma Di, an officer came quickly and clasped his fist and said: "Sir, Cao Pi's messenger is here." Zhuge Liang hummed, and said to the officer: "Please!" The officer promised and ran down. In a short while, he led a man with the appearance of a civil servant in. Zhuge Liang and Ma Di stepped forward to greet him. Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and said: "It turns out that it is Mr. Gongda, I have worked hard all the way!" Xun You smiled and replied: "Kong Ming is polite!" Zhuge Liang asked Xun You to sit down, and both sides sat down. At this time, a soldier brought tea and retreated.

Xun You took a sip of tea from the teacup, put down the teacup, and clasped his fist towards Zhuge Liang, "Mr. Kong Ming, where is Shijun Liu now?" Zhuge Liang said, "Now at Jiamengguan." Xun You nodded thoughtfully, and said to Zhuge Liang. Said: "Mr. Kong Ming, my Patriarch intends to convene a tripartite meeting on the occasion of the Spring Festival this year to discuss jointly dealing with Lu Bu. I wonder what Shijun Liu would think?"

Zhuge Liang understood what Xun You meant, he wanted to probe Liu Bei's tone first. Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Now Lv Bu is raging and robbing the holy driver! As the uncle of the Han Dynasty, my father-in-law is hateful! Therefore, a fierce battle with Lv Bu broke out in Hanzhong not long ago! Mr. You can rest assured!" Xun You heard Zhuge Liang's illocutionary meaning, and said: "If this is the case, please send someone from your husband to lead me to Jiameng Pass to pay respect to Liu Shijun!" Zhuge Liang said, "As it is! In the evening, my husband will rest in Chang'an. It’s not too late to start tomorrow!" Xun You nodded, clasped his fist and said: "Then disturbing!" Zhuge Liang smiled: "You and I are now the same enemy, why be so polite!" Xun Youshen Nodded with approval.

Zhuge Liang thought of something and asked: "Brother Gongda, did Ke Bineng and others have accepted the invitation of Prime Minister Cao?" Xunyou clasped his fist and said, "I don't want to conceal it. I actually transferred it from the court of Xianbei, Ke Bineng. As well as the King Youxian of the Huns and the Karasuma people have decided to participate in the conference! Everyone hopes that the huge scourge of Lu Bu can be eliminated as soon as possible!" Zhuge nodded brightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Ailang returned to Xuchang and spent several days in the house. Early this morning, Ai Lang led by Huang Yueying to the armory outside the city. Xuchang’s ordnance yard was originally built by Cao Cao imitating Xuzhou’s ordnance yard. It had suffered considerable damage in the previous war, but it has now been rebuilt by Ailang. Most of the ordnance yard’s technicians and craftsmen were found After returning, Ailang also transferred some artisans from Xuzhou and other places to supplement. Now Xuchang Armory has resumed production, mainly producing weapons, arrows and general armor. Every day is a busy scene. This Xuchang Armory is now the third largest ordnance in Ailang's hands. The first and second largest ordnance fields are still Huainan Armory Field and Xuzhou Armory Field. There are still only two advanced equipment such as artillery, heavy catapult, heavy fire oil tank, cold-forged iron armor, and three-bow crossbow. The Armory can be manufactured.

Ailang followed Huang Yueying, who was dressed in men's clothing, to the warehouse of the Armory. As soon as I entered the warehouse, I saw many objects covered with black thatch cloth in the warehouse. Because it was covered by thatch cloth, only a little outline could be seen, and it was impossible to tell what it was. Huang Yueying turned her head, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Guess your husband, what is this?" Seeing Huang Yueying's charming and moving appearance, Ai Lang couldn't help but think of the wonderful things that happened at the well in the moonlight last night, and she couldn't help but feel heartbroken. If it weren't for the many officers and soldiers around, he would definitely hold Huang Yueying in his arms and show his affection. Ailang laughed and said: "Let me guess the riddle again! You asked me so innocently, how can I guess it!" After a pause, he said: "This must be some new type of ordnance! It looks like a very powerful ordnance! Well, what is it?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but move his heart, and said in disbelief, "Could it be the kind of artillery I mentioned to you before?" "Huang Yueying smiled and said: "My husband is really amazing! You got it right!" Then she shook her curvaceous waist and walked to the front pile of goods, grabbed the tarp, and uncovered it.

In an instant, several artillery pieces appeared in front of Ailang. Allan’s eyes lit up suddenly, because the artillery pieces that appeared in front of him were not at all like the heavy artillery of the previous type. They were reduced a lot, and the barrels were much thinner. The carriage drags and moves quickly. Ai Long was so happy that he wanted the host, Huang Yueying, to give him a kiss, and couldn't help but praise; "It's so amazing! I can make such a cannon! I just said that!" When he mentioned this artillery, he didn't have much hope, because he felt that the metallurgical process of this era should not meet the requirements for making this artillery. However, Ailang underestimated the technological level of this era and Huang Yueying's wisdom. He did not expect Huang Yueying to create this artillery just a few years after he proposed this idea. Of course, this kind of artillery is still the ancient primitive artillery, not to mention modern artillery, even with the artillery of the seventeenth century, it can’t be compared to it. It’s just lighter, but it’s enough to surprise Ayron. Up.

Huang Yueying was so happy to see her husband so happy, and said: "In fact, other things are easy to handle, but it took a lot of effort to make the gun barrel!" After a pause, she frowned slightly, and said with some regret: "Just It's a pity that this type of artillery is easy to carry, but its power is much smaller than the original artillery!"

Ailang walked to a gun, patted its raised muzzle, and smiled: "You are content! You want to be easy to carry, but also inconvenient, how can there be such good things in the world?" Huang Yueying Wei Wei He smiled, glanced at the artillery in front of him, and said: "Although the power is much smaller, the speed of reloading is much faster! This is also the mulberry harvested by the lost East!" Ailang smiled and nodded, feeling already. I have thoughts about the use of this artillery. This kind of weakened artillery is definitely not effective when used to smash the city wall. It is better to use a packaged catapult for siege. But this artillery can be a field weapon. Think about it, when the two armies are facing each other, this kind of artillery is lined up in front of the line, and when the enemy rushes to the face, these artillery stuffed with horse spikes fire together. What will it be like! That can instantly form a terrifying barrage in front of the front line, and the charging enemy will inevitably be beaten! Ai Lang thought of the excitement and couldn't help laughing.

Turning to look at Huang Yueying, she asked: "How about the cost of this artillery? Isn't it expensive?" Huang Yueying smiled: "In fact, the cost is cheaper than ordinary artillery! Although the production process is a bit more complicated, it is used. Iron materials are less than half of ordinary artillery, which saves a lot of money!” Ailang was very happy, and said: “Very good! Just pass the order, the production of ordinary artillery is reduced by two-thirds, and the spare capacity can be used for me This kind of artillery!" Huang Yueying clasped her fists and promised. Thinking of one thing, she immediately said to her maidservant Xiao Tao: "Xiao Tao, take the report I prepared." Xiao Tao promised, and immediately presented a wooden tablet to Huang Yueying.

Huang Yueying took the wooden tablet and presented it to Ailang, saying: "Husband, this is the quantity of various ordnance produced in the latest quarter, please let me have a look." Ailang took the wooden tablet and looked at it. Teeny lower letters wrote: "This quarter, Xuzhou Armory and Shouchun Armory produced a total of 29,393 stainless steel long guns, 89,339 stainless steel long swords with wooden handles. Long spear, 56,163 shots, more than 8,000 horses, 16,937 strong crossbows, 29,559 continuous crossbows, and 37,000 hard bows One thousand six hundred and thirty-seven, seven thousand three hundred and ninety-two cavalry crossbows, one hundred and ninety-three artillery pieces; more than 1159,000 arrows of various kinds, more than fifty-three thousand catties of gunpowder, More than 11,000 artillery pellets; for armor, more than 11,000 wallets are produced, 2,231 pairs of cold-forged heavy armor, 993 pairs of cold-forged plate armor, and heavy vest Two thousand, three hundred and ninety-two pairs." These figures are naturally not many in the eyes of modern people, but in this era, such production capacity is already quite amazing! And this is just the capacity of the two ordnance yards!

After reading this report, Ai Lang nodded happily, and praised: "Okay! Very good!" Looking at Huang Yueying, she wanted to take her into her arms and give her a good reward. He praised: "Yueying, let You really didn't choose the wrong person as the chief of ordnance!" Huang Yueying looked endlessly happy.

Ai Lang looked at the wooden tablet in his hand, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and muttered to himself: "All the cold-forged heavy armor produced this season will be sent to Zhang Liao!"

Later that day, Ai Lang was talking to Zhuge Mengxue and Guo Jia in the study. Ailang asked, "You said, will Nanban attack us in the near future?" Zhuge Mengxue said, "This matter is difficult to judge! But I think Nanban will not take any action recently! According to Wen Yuan The intelligence that came in showed that the reason why Nanban united with Sun Jian appeared to be because of Sun Jian’s provocation, but in fact, I think they had the ambition to build a country taking advantage of the internal strife of the Han Dynasty. To establish a country, Nanban must first defeat us and eliminate it. We are the biggest threat. And the people of Nanban must not be stupid, they should know that it is impossible to resist us by their strength. Therefore, although they have ambitions, they will never act rashly. They will definitely take advantage of Cao Pi. We will only launch when the three-way coalition forces attack us!" Guo Jia nodded and said, "Madam's words are extremely true! The minds of Nanban people must be like this! Although these people are satisfied, their minds cannot be underestimated! "
