Zhao Mu was ordered to guard the 2nd Blazing Pass, so Gongshu Chou naturally followed.
He had come here to deliver the new battle saber that he had forged for Zhao Mu. Secondly, it was to test the catapults, a siege weapon. Thirdly, it was to test the attack power of the ballista.
After all, Zhao Mu's original chopper was just an ordinary chopper. After using the Invincibility in One Cut several times, the chopper could not withstand the huge energy and shattered.
Later on, Zhao Mu had also changed his saber a few times. However, every time his four-dimensional attributes increased, his saber would not be able to withstand this huge power.
Zhao Mu had already changed his saber countless times.
This time, Gongshu Chou specially took out a piece of Meteoric Metal to forge Zhao Mu's saber in order to get it done once and for all.
This saber was three feet long. It was definitely not short in the future, but compared to the one-meter long swords of the Qin army in this era, it was still quite short.
The knife was four fingers wide, the handle was nine inches long, and the edge of the knife was square.
The saber was unsheathed, shining with a cold light. The cold blade emitted a chill that made people not dare to look at it directly.
"What a good saber. Thank you for your trouble, sir.”
Zhao Mu sheathed his saber. A year ago, he went to find Gongshu Chou and took him under his wing. It was his wisest decision.
The war blades he had acquired over the years were enough for him to visit the thatched cottage three times.
Gongshu Chou was also very happy to see that Zhao Mu was satisfied.
"As long as the lord likes it."
"In addition, I have already transported the ten experimental ballistae to the camp. The trebuchets have also been assembled.”
Zhao Mu nodded his head. As for the target of the test, it was obviously Lord Xinling's army.
Ballistae had actually been around since the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was like the use of iron, very rare, and its accuracy was poor, so the effect was not very good.
The bed crossbow invented by Zhao Mu and Gongshu Chou was similar to the eight-bull crossbow of the later Song Dynasty. It was powerful and had a long range.
According to the Eight Bull Crossbows recorded in the Military Classic General Guide compiled by the Song government, there were many types of bows ranging from two to four.
The number of people needed to twist the shaft of the multi-bow bed crossbow was 5 - 7 for small crossbows. The larger ones were the eight-bull crossbows, which required more than 100 people.
There were professionals in charge of aiming and shooting with hammer teeth.
The arrows used were made of wood and iron. It was known as the " One Spear Three Sword Arrow ".
This arrow was actually a spear with feathers and was very destructive.
The ballistae could also shoot out " step arrows ", nailing them to the rammed earth wall in rows, allowing the attackers to climb up the wall.
Ballistas could also be equipped with pockets on the string. Each pocket could hold dozens of arrows and shoot them at the same time, which was called " Jackdaw Arrow ".
The range of the Ballista could reach 300 steps (about 570 meters), which was the longest range among the ancient crossbow weapons in China.
With the help of the magical power of the mechanism technique, Gongshu Chou's Overbearing Machine Crossbow absorbed the advantages of the Song Dynasty's eight-bull crossbow, but also improved its disadvantages. The number of operators was reduced to five, and it was convenient to transport. There were wheels below it, so one person could push it.
As for the trebuchets, they were also modified Hui Hui cannons by Gongshu Chou. It was said that these Hui Hui cannons were made by a Western Region man named Yi Si Ma Yin, so people called them Hui Hui cannons, or Xiangyang cannons, or Western Region cannons.
According to the History of the Yuan Dynasty, this kind of cannon "shook the earth when it was fired, and everything it hit was destroyed, sinking seven feet into the ground".
In addition, this kind of cannon did not need a person to pull the cannon cable. Instead, a huge stone was tied to the tip of the cannon. An iron hook was installed on the cannon frame to hook the cannon shaft. When firing, as long as the hook was pulled open, the stone would immediately fall and press down the cannon tip. At the same time, a stone bullet weighing 100 pounds would be thrown out.
This concept was manpower-saving, convenient to use, and powerful. It could not be said that it was a major reform of the catapult.
Be it the Ballista or the Return Cannon, they were the pinnacle of the large-scale machines in the era of cold weapons. Coupled with Gongshu Chou's magical and domineering mechanism technique, their power could be said to be earth-shattering.
Although Zhao Mu was invincible with the help of the system, he also knew the importance of machinery, especially with the existence of the mechanism technique that could be called a BUG. There was no reason not to use it.
Once used well, it would play a very important role in war.
That was why Zhao Mu had invited Gongshu Chou out. As for inviting Master Ban and the others from the Mo Family, he would rather forget about it. He wanted to use his trap techniques in war. It would be good enough if Master Ban and the others did not spit on him. Why would they help him?
The night was silent. On the second day, the ten ballistae were ready on the camp. Behind the camp, the ten catapults were also assembled.
Zhao Mu looked at all of this in satisfaction, while Gongshu Chou was doing the final inspection.
The experiment this time was of utmost importance, as it was related to the mass production of these two large machines.
Outside the camp, the Zhao, Han, and Yan allied forces were still unaware of the Qin army's movements. They were still carefully studying how to break through Zhao Mu's defenses.
"Get ready!"
Following the order, the trained soldiers beside the ten catapults were ready.
"Release!"
He waved the flag.
The soldiers next to the catapults released their iron hooks, and the specially made boulders on the opposite side of the cannon shaft instantly fell. The huge potential energy was transmitted to the opposite cannon shaft, and the 300-kilogram boulder was instantly thrown out.
In the sky, ten 300-kilogram boulders flew in a beautiful arc and landed in Lord Xinling's camp.
Boom! Boom!
A deafening explosion sounded, and even the ground shook.
With the help of the terrain of Blazing Mountain Pass, the power of the boulder was maximized. It landed in the alliance army camp and rolled through the camp.
Many soldiers of the alliance army were crushed to death by the giant rocks before they could dodge.
Not only that, the soldiers were so frightened that they ran out of their tents, not even having the time to put on their armor.
This scene fell into Zhao Mu's eyes, and a bright light instantly flashed past.
After the first round of catapults, the second round of ballistae attacks had begun.
The two meter long ballista bolts flashed with a cold light as they tore through the sky and pierced into the alliance army camp.
Puff!
The five soldiers did not have time to dodge and were pierced through by a crossbow bolt. They died on the spot.
