After returning to the room, Yun Zheng's brows condensed together again. Li Qing's behavior made him feel very uncomfortable. The Lanzhou incident was very variable because of Chun Ge'er's random addition.

At first, I thought that Xiaoman played the leading role among the two couples of Chun Geer and Xiaoman. I didn’t expect that things were different from what I thought. Chun Geer was the real head of the family.

Hahu'er was indeed destroyed, but this was destroyed with Li Qing's conscious cooperation. Li Qing could not have known that Fu Bi would pass by Lanzhou City when he fought the cavalry.

So, what is this guy doing this for?

Yun Zheng knew this secret, but he knew it a little late. The reason why he sent the elite Jingxi Army and Xiaoman to Lanzhou to intercept Hahu'er was to drive Hahu'er away and let them not be an obstacle to the eastward advance of Fu Bi's cavalry. This plan was handled well by Chun Ge'er, Xiaoman, Chen Shu, and others. The only pity was that they did not kill Li Qing. Li Qing would rather see Hahu'er being killed, and did not choose to participate in the war. Instead, he chose to turn around and leave without stopping for a moment.

When the troops sent by Yun Zheng to intercept Li Qing arrived in Lanzhou, Li Qing's camel caravan had already passed Karochuan and returned to the Xixia Kingdom with countless customized iron tools. Therefore, the establishment of the Poxi Army was no longer a stop.

↘Li Qing occupied a lot of space in the information sent by the Secret Spies Department. This Han man, who was from Xizhou, had no sense of belonging to the Song Dynasty. Like the Zhang family in Xixia, he would only think that the Xixia Kingdom he established was his motherland. If they wanted them to be open to the Song Dynasty, it would be impossible.

For the Song Dynasty, the small country of Xixia, which was a barren land in the northwest, was simply a nightmare. After several battles in Dingchuan Village, the Song Dynasty army was defeated. Behind these classic battle examples that were included in textbooks, the planning of a Han military advisor named Zhang Yuan was inseparable from the planning of this Han military advisor who was not satisfied with his talent and his lifelong career was to live up to his own talents.

When Yun Zheng went to Xixia, this person had already died of illness. Otherwise, he would be on Yun Zheng's list of killings. This person was even higher than Li Yuanhao.

Yun Zheng is actually a very proud person in his bones. He is proud of his bloodline, especially when he suddenly leap from modern times to the Song Dynasty, this feeling suddenly becomes more obvious. Therefore, even after Qingyi committed suicide by committing suicide by ghost seals, he just felt sad, but not much sorrow, although it was only a word difference. The emotions represented were different.

Yun Zheng believes that many things that have happened in history are accidental events. People are the masters of heaven and earth. How can they always be content with bird energy and be content with mercy?

This is the case with elites, and so is the case with ordinary people. Sometimes the anger of ordinary men is just a spear of the ground, but sometimes the rainbows will penetrate the sun. The soldiers of the garrison call, Hangu rise, and the people of Chu burned, and the scorched earth is pitiful.

So he never missed this possibility.

Bobo heard in Liaodong that he had become a prince. He led his army to plunder the Liao Kingdom everywhere. He heard that the nobles of the Liao Kingdom, Tokyo, only heard that Hai Dongqing's famous name was the double war. Even the great hero Kelibo among the Jurchens had never had such a reputation.

This guy Li Qing is really a variable. He was just a ghost under his sword at the rock slope. Unexpectedly, he went to the west and could win every battle. In five years, the 300th city of Kexiong was obviously bragging about this guy, but this guy had definitely conquered the thirty cities.

There are some things that are not known to Chun Ge'er, Xiaoman, or Chen Shu. Yun Zheng only understood what Li Qing did in Lanzhou City when Li Qing was about to return to China.

Birds!

This is all the purpose of Li Qing coming to Lanzhou. He came to Lanzhou not to cure his illness, nor to stay away from the political disputes of the Xixia Kingdom. His only purpose in Lanzhou was to prepare to expand his power and form a new army to pierce Xi army!

When an army like Hahu'er, which had already exerted its power to the extreme, could not cause a devastating blow to a Song army, he completely threw Hahu'er into Lanzhou City to see how big the attack this army could have on the Song army.

The result was disappointing to him. Song Jun buried gunpowder in the street market, which resulted in heavy losses from Hahu'er. Only a hundred people could come back alive.

From this temptation, he completely confirmed that as long as he did not change the way of combat of his subordinates, he would still be unable to escape the fate of destruction whenever he encountered the elite Jingxi Army. The Song army, which had been equipped with a large number of firearms, was not an army that humans could resist.

The fear of gunpowder bullets seemed to have been engraved on Li Qing's soul, so he was always looking for weapons that could compete with bed crossbows and gunpowder bullets.

Finally, when he attacked Salamahan City, he finally discovered a new weapon. Although this weapon caused heavy losses to his subordinates and almost died under this weapon, this discovery made him ecstatic.

This discovery was a weapon crossbow from the faraway Hela (Greece). This crossbow was completely different from the weapons combined with elastic substances such as cow tendons and other materials. The range was much further than the twisted crossbows of the Song people. What he praised the most was the accuracy of this kind of crossbow shooting.

The Hela (Greek) crossbow has a solid support, the main beam is placed on the support, and two torsion spring groups are installed on both sides of its front end. Each spring group drives a crossbow arm. The end of the crossbow arm is connected to the bow string. In the middle of the bow string is a weaving mesh bag that holds the projectile.

There is a long dovetail groove on the upper side of the beam. A slider with a long guide rail can slide forward and back along the long groove. A set of exquisite firing mechanisms are installed on the back of the slider.

The bowstring can be easily locked and released. The end of the beam is equipped with a winch. The user can move the slider by pulling the handle or dragging the rope. When the bowstring is pulled back and is scattered by the firing mechanism, the weapon is in a ready state.

In order to prevent too much effort from operating the winch, metal racks were installed on both sides of the beam, which not only allowed the bow to be opened in one go, but also adjusted the weapon's projectile force to obtain the required range. Later, the metal rack was replaced by a circular ratchet, making the operation simpler and more reliable.

In order to give the crossbow a flexible direction and elevation angle, they designed a base for the crossbow that can rotate freely, but this is not the earliest universal joint design in the world. The Eastern "Mozi" records the relaying machine in detail.

With such a powerful weapon, the gunpowder bullets of the Song people could not threaten their own formation. Whether it was range or lethality, their own crossbows and Yun Zheng's bed crossbows could be comparable. As long as they had a large number of crossbows, Yun Zheng's weapon gunpowder bullets, which belonged to melee combat, would not pose a threat to him.

The only thing that gave him a headache was that the metal racks and ratchets needed on the crossbow were not manufactured in Xixia at all. Even if it was made, the rough metal smelting process made the racks and ratchets fragile and unusable at all.

Want to use wind-mill copper instead, when Yu Hou calculated the required expenses, Li Qing had to give up this ridiculous idea. The money to make crossbows could crush the Song army to death.

Fortunately, the metal smelting technology of the Song Dynasty has made great progress in recent years, especially the Huanzhou area, which has almost become the center of metal trading. So I asked some merchants who are familiar with Xixia to go to Huanzhou to customize a large number of iron ball racks and ratchets to bring delivery in Lanzhou. So, Li Qing and Lanzhou also came.

For him, the exquisite iron parts produced by the fine Eagle Nest are definitely much more important than the Hawk'er.

Li Qing has read translated Western books, and he is very interested in such a record of the crossbow.

During the Romans' siege of Jerusalem, Jewish general Joseph recalled that a partner standing side by side with him on the wall was knocked away by a projectile fired by a Roman crossbow!

A pregnant woman in the city was hit by a stone bullet, and the fetus in his belly was thrown a hundred feet away! The giant Roman crossbows could bombard enemies a hundred and thirty feet away to defeat the army, and the spears they fired could nail two or three enemies in densely arranged formations to the ground together.

In addition, the accuracy of the crossbow cannons is also amazing. They can even hit the same place repeatedly. There have been records that the spears fired by the crossbow cannons split the spears that had hit in front into two pieces. Such things are definitely worthy of large-scale manufacturing, and Li Qing has fallen into absolute madness.

When Yun Zheng thought of Li Qing's precision iron parts coming from the precision casting of Eagle Nest, he felt very bitter. In recent years, with the vigorous development of Huanzhou's coal and foundry industries, a complete set of the most stringent primary industrial system has been formed there. Now, the reputation of these small industries has become famous overseas. Even Li Qing knows that he can't make things there to make, but he has been neglecting it over the years.

Yun Zheng now wants to know whether those bastards have made artillery in batches before they create weapons for the enemy.

Li Qing wanted to fight with his future man to kill a weapon. Yun Zheng didn't think this guy had much chance of winning. Li Qing's behavior was like a monkey jumping around in the woods. After suddenly learning to use the wooden stick, he challenged a magnificent warrior wearing armor and a shovel-shaped corpse crossbow in front of him. There was no need to think too much about the consequences.

The reason why I stayed in Mount Wutai for one more day was to wait for the first real artillery in the world to appear in front of me.

When the King of Battlefield Artillery appears, any cold weapon is just a passing cloud in front of it... (To be continued...)
