Sanniang Li and Ma Sanbao had already witnessed the power of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. If such a great killing weapon could be mass-produced, it would definitely be a trump card on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, the bolts of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow were different from ordinary bolts, so they needed to be produced separately. In this way, there would only be one bolt per day, which would take a long time. However, for the sake of victory, even if it took time, Sanniang Li had to mass produce the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow before the Sui army launched a large-scale attack.
The craftsmen in Shiping City and Wugong County were all gathered at Shiping City's General Supervisor to manufacture the Zhuge Repeating Crossbows in large batches.
After Yun Yi's modification, he managed to turn the small Zhuge Repeating Crossbow into a large one. It was comparable to the Fuyuan Crossbow, and its lethality was obvious.
However, this would require more materials and energy. At this critical moment, he naturally could not waste them.
In the end, they only made ten large Zhuge Repeating Crossbows that were fixed on carts. Their range was not very long and they were one-time use items.
Because the bowstring at this time was not very good, unless he used a top-notch craftsman to make a very good bowstring in the future, he could make the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow more perfect. Now, it was not bad that it could be used once.
The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow blueprint that Sanniang Li had given out finally reached Li Yuan's hands. At this moment, Li Yuan had already attacked the east of the river and was fighting with Qu Tutong.
However, the city walls of Hedong City were thick and tall. It was a big city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Li Yuan could not do anything to him.
Li Yuan was very happy when he received Sanniang Li's letter. Last time, it was because of Sanniang Li's alcohol and the method of treatment for serious injuries that the severely injured soldiers of the Tang army were treated and made them more loyal. Moreover, they were not afraid of death on the battlefield. They were all people who had died once, so why would they be afraid?
It was also because Li Sanniang had used alcohol to blow up the city gates that Li Yuan had thought of using a catapult to throw alcohol jars and directly take down three cities.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to attack the east of the river so quickly without suffering too many losses. Li Yuan liked his daughter Li Sanniang more and more. It was precisely because he had such a daughter that Li Yuan valued her more.
"Zhuge Repeating Crossbow? Alright! It's really satisfying!"
Li Yuan was very happy when he saw that Sanniang Li had occupied Shiping and resisted the attack of the Sui army. Now, at the end, he actually saw the blueprint and method of making the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. He immediately became happy. This was the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow!
It would save him the time to draw the bow and arrow. If he could spend time to forge it, it would definitely be a great killing weapon. At that time, even if there were millions of soldiers, Li Yuan would not be afraid. He did not only have an army in his hands. Now that he had such a great killing weapon, his chances of winning would increase by a lot.
"Men, summon Pei Zhonglang, Liu Shijing, Left General, and Right General for a meeting!”
Li Yuan could not wait to forge the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, so he gathered a few people in charge to ask for their opinions.
Pei Ji and Liu Shijing were Li Yuan's people and his good friends. These two people were his right-hand men and were of great help to him.
As for the Left General and Right General, they were Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. Li Yuan had high hopes for his two sons.
One was steady and capable, one was wise and brave, one was in charge of the internal affairs, and the other was in charge of the external affairs. They managed the military camp very well. It was because of this that he had absolute confidence and began to rebel. Otherwise, he would not have the intention.
In a short while, all four of them had arrived. They greeted each other and waited for Li Yuan to speak.
Li Yuan gave the blueprint and manufacturing method of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow to Pei Ji and asked him to look at it. Then, he said,"I got a weapon from Li Sanniang. Take a look. I want to forge it and form a team of more than a thousand people.”
After Pei Ji saw it, he didn't say anything and directly gave it to Liu Shijing. Then, he bowed to Li Yuan and said,"Congratulations, Duke Tang. Congratulations, Duke Tang. You have obtained such a great killing weapon and a great talent!”
Pei Ji was very good at reading expressions and was also an old fox. Last time, he had received the method to make alcohol from Li Sanniang and the treatment method for heavily injured soldiers. Now, he had received the method to make the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. He had definitely obtained an extremely awesome genius.
Li Yuan stroked his beard and nodded slightly. However, from his expression, one could tell that he was very happy at this moment. He was also very pleased with Pei Ji's flattery.
Liu Shijing also expressed her opinion," This weapon has been lost for a long time. Now that it has appeared, it must be God's blessing on Lord Tang. It must be a great contribution for the princess to have such a talent.”
After Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin finished reading, they were also very envious of Li Sanniang.
At this time, they were all clear about what was the most important. They had read so many books and were also very ambitious people. Naturally, they knew the importance of talent.
It would be a lie if she didn't envy Li Sanniang for being able to recruit such a talent.
Not to mention the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, even the alcohol and the treatment method for the heavily injured soldiers were definitely great contributions. With these two talents, he could eat for a lifetime.
One should know that the method of producing alcohol could not only produce alcohol, but also improve the inferior liquor into very good liquor. By then, he would definitely become a millionaire by opening such a tavern.
There was also the treatment method for seriously injured soldiers. The method of suturing wounds was not only suitable for war, but also for ordinary times.
Who didn't have a great disaster? When they were injured, as long as they disinfected and sutured, they would be able to save their lives. This was a talent that could go down in history.
And now, there was Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. It was said that this person knew the art of war. Although it was just a few sentences, it was the essence of the art of war. Li Shiming was especially familiar with military affairs, so he naturally understood the meaning of those sentences.
These few things added together were enough to stand firm among the various dukes. He could also be considered a talent. The key was that he did not know what else this person could do.
"With this person, second sister's situation in the pass will be better. You have been different from the other sisters since you were young. You have great ambitions in your heart. Now, with this person's help, I believe that you will definitely realize your dreams.”
Li Shiming was really happy for Sanniang Li. At the same time, he was also curious about this person called Yun Yi. A 13-year-old boy who had yet to reach adulthood had such talent. It was really enviable.
However, there was no hatred because this person was in the Li family's camp. What was there to hate about helping the Li family? It was too late to be happy.
