    Several iron cages covered with black cloth were dragged in, and several cavalrymen stood nearby on horseback. In the distance, the crossbowmen of more than a dozen divine machine crossbows were giving a final inspection of the crossbow machine. This crossbow machine is equipped with a base.  , the crossbow can move left and right and up and down. Gao Yuan likes this kind of magical crossbow. There is no blind spot when shooting, and the shooting angle can be adjusted during the shooting process. The ability to fire continuously reminds Gao Yuan of the machine gun in his previous life.  Seeing that the inspection below had been completed and the troops were ready, several cavalrymen on the opposite side stretched out their spears and lifted up the black cloth on the iron cages. There were actually more than a dozen wild wolves of various sizes inside. Once the black cloth was removed, these wild wolves were revealed.  The wolf immediately stood up, grinned at the cavalrymen in front of him, and let out a low growl in its throat.  "It's really not easy to catch so many wild wolves in Dayan County now." Gao Yuan smiled and said to King Gu: "The cavalry ran for several days and spread out in such a wide circle to catch so many dozen.  "Are they being used as targets?" Wang Jian asked.  "Well, General, just wait and see!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.  In the distance, several cavalrymen were running towards us on horseback, holding a thin rope in their hands. With a crisp sound, the front railings of several iron cages fell down, and the wild wolves inside roared and ran away.  He went out and chased a few cavalrymen.  The cavalry on horseback screamed strangely, tempting the wild wolves to chase them. After running for tens of meters, they suddenly turned and turned to the side. However, the dozen or so wild wolves had no time to turn around, and they were already exposed to the magic machine.  Within the range of the crossbow.  The sound of squeaking sounded immediately.  Crossbow arrows were controlled by the crossbowmen and shot at the wild wolves. In an instant, there was a burst of wailing, and seven or eight wild wolves fell to the ground immediately.  A few of them luckily escaped the previous round of blows and turned to flee to the other side, but the Shenji Crossbow flexibly turned its head and chased their butts and shot them all the way. After shooting several arrows, they finally  Shoot them one by one in the open space.  "Good guy." Wang Jian couldn't help but change his expression when he looked at the shooting speed and flexibility of the divine machine crossbow.  "With this kind of weapon in hand, the cavalry will probably become history." At this time, his mind was thinking about the overwhelming cavalry in black clothes. If such a magical cavalry was deployed on the defensive front,  Crossbows, no matter how many cavalry come, they can only stay in front of the battle with hatred.  "Not necessarily." Gao Yuan shook his head slightly and said: "This thing is really powerful, but it is too expensive to build, and there are too many parts that make up it. It is too delicate and very easy to damage. Unless you have too much money, otherwise it will not be easy to use."  Large-scale equipment is not realistic. Just maintenance and repairs cost a lot of money every year." Wang Jian took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, is this kind of magical crossbow one of the weapons we can purchase?  ?¡± ¡°Of course, General, if you want to buy this kind of weapon, I¡¯m afraid we will have to send some technicians to help you repair it, and the required parts will have to be shipped from Dahan, and the cost will not be low.¡±  Can the technicians teach you maintenance techniques?" Wang Jian then asked.  "Of course there is no problem, we can teach it." Gao Yuan said cheerfully.  "That's okay. I'll buy this magical crossbow. It's good to buy a thousand units in the first batch." Wang Jian stretched out a finger.  "A thousand units?" Gao Yuan was also startled, "General, I have said before that this thing is delicate and too much is not good for the army. Besides, our arsenal can't produce one a year now.  A thousand units, the first batch, I will give you a hundred units at most, and I will also send two technicians there, firstly to facilitate maintenance, and secondly, to teach maintenance techniques? " "Thank you, Your Majesty," Wang Jian said happily.  "But I also heard that the Han Dynasty has a weapon that uses gunpowder, which is very powerful. Wang Jian does not expect to buy such a weapon, but can your Majesty open Wang Jian's horizons?" "Why not? And this kind of weapon  Weapons are also on the list of weapons that General Wang can purchase." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Gunpowder weapons were originally developed by our Han Dynasty. In order to develop this, our researchers made huge sacrifices. Later, Qin and Chu two countries.  They used some dishonorable means to steal this achievement, but the thieves are just thieves after all. They are still far behind us in the development of this weapon. " Gao Quan holds a plate in his hand.  Come up, there are two round things on the plate.  Wang Jian stretched out his hand to pick one up, and his hand sank slightly. This thing was actually made of iron. Looking at the petal pattern, it turned out to be quite beautiful.  Gao Yuan also picked up one, "This thing is called a grenade. We have specially set up a team called grenadiers to throw this. The tail of this grenade is a fuse. During combat, the fuse is lit and then thrown  When he arrived among the enemies, he exploded with a loud bang. No matter how thick his armor was, he couldn't stop the blast. "Is it so powerful?"?I really don¡¯t understand much about things.  "Take General Wang to watch." Gao Quan smiled and stepped back. After a while, the experimental field in the distance was filled with straw men wearing armor, and several grenadiers were gearing up and moving their bodies there.  .  "Start!" With the order, the fuse of the grenade was ignited, and several grenades were accurately thrown into the scarecrow by the grenadiers. With a few thunderclaps, Wang Jian's heart was beating wildly, and he tried his best to steady his mind, but behind him,  However, several of the soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies were crumbling.  The scarecrows that had been blown up by grenades were quickly presented. Different from the scarecrows that had been hit by arrows earlier, these scarecrows wearing helmets and armor were much more miserable. Basically, they were either missing arms or legs.  The miserable one, the lower half of his body was missing, and the remaining torso was also covered with shrapnel.  "What a powerful grenade." Wang Jian suddenly stood up and looked at the two grenades on the tray in front of him. "I understand, these patterns are not for looking good, but because when the gunpowder explodes, these patterns can be used as boundaries.  , break it into pieces and use it to hurt people. "The general is really smart, you can tell at a glance." Gao Yuan said with a smile.  "Can we buy this grenade?" "Why not? What I showed you today is all something you can buy, and this is also the good thing I put at the bottom of the box. Of course, there is another good thing below,  However, our technology is not yet mature and we cannot supply it on a large scale, so we can only provide it in small quantities." Gao Yuan said with a smile.  "Is there any weapon more powerful than grenades?" Wang Jian was really shocked.  "Of course there are, but the number is very small. If it weren't for the fact that the enemies faced by General Wang are really difficult, I would really be reluctant to part with them." Gao Yuan said.  "The big food in black clothes, so powerful?" "What's even more powerful is the religion they believe in." Gao Yuan sighed, "This kind of religious belief can make people crazy. General Wang, the reason why I am willing to sell  I gave you these weapons because I hope you can keep them out of the territory and never let them enter my country. This can be regarded as my selfish intention!" Wang Jian nodded, "I understand, but they are far away.  The king is still far away, but now he is in front of me. No matter whether the king sells me these weapons or not, I will fight them to the end." Gao Yuan nodded, "Okay, then let's take a look at this thing.  Yes, but this thing is too bulky and can only be used to defend the city, but it is impossible to fight with the army. " Four draft horses dragged the carriage slowly. Wang Jian saw that the wheels of the carriage were left on the ground.  The wheels of the big man's carriage were covered with what they call rubber, which is extremely elastic. Wang Jian has been riding this kind of carriage from Mengchi to Dayan County. On the cement road,  I could barely feel the bumps, but now that I saw the mark, I knew how heavy the thing being dragged on the car was.  The felt cloth on the carriage was removed, and two black metal lumps appeared in front of Wang Jian.  "We call this weapon a cannon, and it is also powered by gunpowder. However, the range and destructive power are not comparable to those of crossbows and grenades." Gao Yuan introduced.  Wang Jian's breathing was a little rapid. The grenade shocked him. He never thought that there was a more powerful weapon in the world than a grenade.  "Gao Quan, what event are you performing for us today?" "Your Majesty, there are three main types of projectiles to be tested today. One is a solid bullet, used to attack cities and break down walls, and the other is a shotgun, used to kill infantry.  The other is chain bombs." "Let's start!" Gao Yuan waved.  A few miles away from the observation platform, there was a city wall-like building built of earth and stone. Two cannons were unloaded, and a dozen gunners were busy around them. After a while, the gunner raised his head and looked at  Gao Quan: "Your Majesty, everything is ready." On the stage, Gao Yuan handed a few balls of cotton to Wang Jian. He also took two balls and stuffed them into his ears. As soon as he finished all this, the cannon below was already  There was a roar.  A cloud of smoke rose up, hiding the entire cannon and the gun crew members. The strong smell of gunpowder smoke filled the nostrils. When the smoke dissipated, the two gun crew members cheered in unison. Today, they shot accurately.  After the bombardment, the city wall-like building opposite no longer existed.  Wang Jian was dumbfounded by the damage done by the shotguns and chain rounds to the infantry. The straw man in armor could hardly be found intact anymore, and had completely turned into fragmented pieces.  "Artifact!" For such a weapon, Wang Jian can only give this evaluation.  "It's not like it's a divine weapon." Gao Yuan shook his head, "We can't mass-produce this thing now. These two statues are not sold to you, but given as gifts. They are used to defend the city."?? is a perfect weapon.  Don't worry, General, we will prepare enough ammunition for this cannon for you.  " "Thank you, Your Majesty.  "Wang Jian stood up, clasped his fists and brought them to the ground.
