Mohist Tang

“Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have another unique weapon!” Li Jing said with joy.

Li Shimin also smiled haha, the god arm crossbow is really long range, it is a surprise, until now, the infantry are mostly passively beaten by the cavalry, that is, there are large bed crossbows that can attack Cavalry, but it is expensive and small in number. Although it has a strong offensive power, it is not easy to manufacture, and naturally its lethality is limited.

The god-arm crossbow presented by Mo Dun is simple and easy to operate and easy to carry. More importantly, its formidable power is not lower than that of the bed crossbow. Even an ordinary soldier holding this god-arm crossbow is enough to threaten A battle-tested Titan.

“Can this crossbow be manufactured on a large scale?” Li Shimin asked with a sharp look in his eyes.

Mo Dun nodded said: “Your Majesty can rest assured that although this crossbow uses the Mohist Family mechanism, it is much more complicated than other crossbows, but the youngster split it into several parts, the main part Ordinary craftsmen can do it, and skilled craftsmen only need to manufacture the crossbow mechanism. In this way, a large number of god-arm crossbows can be assembled in a short time, and once the parts are damaged, they can be easily replaced and repaired. If it is a skilled bowman , If the crossbow machine is damaged on the battlefield, it can be repaired within the thirty breaths.”

“Thirty breaths are repaired!”

Li Shimin suddenly felt happy, ordinary crossbows Usually they are integrated. Once the entire crossbow is damaged, it will be scrapped immediately. Repairing is time-consuming and laborious. However, the componentized god-arm crossbow can be repaired on the battlefield, and its military value is simply beyond estimate.

“Your Majesty, this crossbow is very relevant. Please also ask Your Majesty to give it to the military inspector to build it for completeness.” Hou Junji said suddenly.

He is the High Official of the Ministry of War, and the military supervisor is under his control. He can naturally see the value of Gods arms and crossbows. Naturally, he wants to take credit for his own governance. under.

“Mo Dun, what do you think?” Li Shimin asked, looking at Mo Dun playfully.

Mo Dun immediately said without the slightest hesitation: “Hou High Official said that the Mohist Village workshop is for civilian use. Naturally, prohibited objects such as bows and crossbows cannot be manufactured. They should be handed over to military weapons. Supervise the manufacture.”

Hou Junji’s face suddenly smiled. He didn’t expect that Mohist Family Son, who has always been a thorn, would be so cooperative, and even Li Shimin couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.

“However.” Mo Dun paused, Hou Junji suddenly felt a bad feeling.

“But the reason why the god arm crossbow can shoot so far is one of the mechanisms, and more importantly, the manufacture of bowstring steel!” Mo Dun continued.

“The steel used to make bowstrings!” Hou Junji frowned said.

“Yes, everyone, please see, the bowstring of the God Arm Crossbow is not hemp rope or tendon, but a kind of soft steel created by the Mohist Family to have such a large formidable power.” Mo Dun took the god arm crossbow from Li Shimin and handed it to Hou Junji’s hand.

Hou Junji then discovered that the bowstring of the God Arm Crossbow is not a commonly used bow string, but it is a cold steel string. It suddenly dawned in my heart that this is probably the reason why the God Arm Crossbow is so powerful.

“Smelting mild steel believes that Supervisor Jiang will definitely be able to solve it, but I dont know if Lord Marquis Mo is willing to cut his love for steelmaking secrets.” Hou Junji turned his head to Mo Dun and said coldly, he actually got a god arm The mechanism of the crossbow even wanted Mohist Family’s steelmaking secrets.

Steelmaking secrets are the foundation of the Mohist Family’s prosperity. Everyone knows that Mo Duns policy for Mohist Village is based on steel. Hou Junjis request is extremely rude.

Li Shimin and Li Jing expression moved, but they did not stop them. Although Hou Junji’s request was excessive, it involved national interests after all.

Mo Dun said with a sneer: “Steel-making secrets have appeared in the spring and autumn period. The steel-making secret techniques include the frying steel method, the steel filling method, and the Hundred Refinements steel method. Supervisor Jiang does nothing but It only depends on these types. Youngster can be said to be precise. It is that youngster puts the steelmaking secrets in front of Supervisor Jiang. There is no Mohist Family steelmaking furnace Supervisor Jiang and the manufacturer cannot produce mild steel. If Supervisor Jiang rebuilds the steelmaking furnace in the manufacturer God arm crossbow, Im afraid the battle of Tuyuhun is over.”

After the steelmaking technology has developed to the level of the steelmaking furnace, it is no longer easily solved by traditional craftsmanship. The large equipment , Has played a vital role, even some sophisticated equipment itself is a kind of secret technique, the era of a secret recipe alone in the steelmaking industry is almost impossible.

Hou Junji suddenly looked embarrassed and stared at Mo Dun with bad eyes.

Li Shimin groaned, and said: “The crossbow machine and steel string of the god arm crossbow are handed over to Mohist Village manufacture, Supervisor Jiang manufacture crossbow stand, and finally the god arm crossbow is formed by the military supervisor.”

The attack on Tuyuhun is imminent. It is the time when the god-arm crossbow is needed. The most important task now is to manufacture the more the better god-arm crossbow. The three-way division of labor is currently in the best interests of Great Tang.

“As you bid!”

Mo Dun and Hou Junji responded at the same time.

Li Shimin raised the god-arm crossbow again and looked at the satisfied nodded. The cooperation of this crossbow and the Macedonian phalanx can definitely solve the safety of the food road. At the same time, he felt a little regretful: “I thought I could find restraint cavalry. It seems that I am too impatient.”

Hou Junji glanced at Mo Dun and said with an unkind expression: “Your Majesty, how can two legs run over four legs and defeat the cavalry? Only the cavalry.”

“no!” Li Jing shook his head and said: “Although the Macedonian policy has many flaws, it has found a way to restrain the cavalry.”

Li Shimin said with a move. : “Lance!”

Li Jing shook his head and said: “It is not necessarily lance. As long as it is a long weapon, it will naturally have an advantage against cavalry.”

The Macedonian phalanx has a long weapon. Amplification of infinite advantages, let everyone discover that even the most elite cavalry might be beaten to blood before a long weapon like a hedgehog.

Mo Duns nodded, said: “General Li said that long weapons are indeed a way to restrain cavalry.”

Li Shimin nodded said: “It’s a pity that The phalanx can only defend. My Great Tang still lacks a weapon that can counter the cavalry in field battles.”

Mo Dun mysterious said with a smile: “This is wrong, according to this small official, My Great Tang has formidable power. The unparalleled long weapon is in the dust on the pearl. If this weapon is out, it will be unstoppable, and it will be broken with one knife.”

“Unstoppable? Broken.” Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes. He racked his brains and couldn’t think of such a formidable power weapon in Great Tang.

The generals present were also moved, and they thought of Great Tang in an instant, but they still had no clue.

“Are you talking about Modao?” Li Jing expression moved.

“Yes, from the youngster’s point of view, the weapon that really restrains the cavalry is the Modao.” Mo Dun nodded and said.
