Chapter 514

Merton was as bright as new armor, spotless. On the review desk step by step, he didn't look like he had just experienced a martial arts show. It was like walking around the battlefield in armor.

However, I don't know what a shock it is in everyone's heart. Everyone's eyes are focused on the young boy. Even the temporary armor is still a little big and doesn't fit him, but no one is looking at him with contempt, but a dignified face.

Kill five hundred enemies without damaging one person. Even anyone thinks he can't do it. However, this amazing war fruit appears in their eyes, and the destruction is the most powerful elite of Datang.

"I'm lucky I didn't disgrace my life!"

Merton solemnly saluted Li Shimin and said.

Li Shimin covered up the shock on his face and immediately changed into a calm face, but he couldn't help showing a trace of satisfaction. Although he didn't like Merton, after all, the marriage between Merton and Princess Changle has been basically finalized. The more talented Merton is, the more light on his face.

"Get up! Victory is nothing. We need to guard against arrogance and impatience and learn from the generals." Li Shimin said faintly.

"Yes!" Merton got up and said respectfully.

"What a young hero! Under the same strength, the infantry defeated the cavalry, and mohou really didn't say anything!" Li Shimin didn't want to praise. Li Jing naturally had no worries and didn't mean to praise.

The generals also looked at Merton with shocked eyes. In the face of the continuous arrow rain, I'm afraid everyone will fall into deep despair. They frowned and thought. Even with human lives, they might have to pay a heavy price to rush forward.

Cheng Yaojin, an old boy, could not close his mouth with a smile. When Merton offered advice, he expected to succeed, but he didn't expect such a happy victory.

On the contrary, Chang sun Shunde's face was gray. Unexpectedly, Merton used this trick to destroy all his elite cavalry. Even Chang sun Shunde had never encountered such a disastrous defeat in his whole life.

It's a mule or a horse. It's obvious that mojiazi is this Qianlima, but they are not bole.

"Merton, what's the truth? The crossbow alone can directly shoot the cavalry a hundred steps away?" Qin Qiong asked with an incredible face.

Other generals could not help hearing that Merton's bow and crossbow soldiers fired crossbows and arrows continuously, and could kill the same troops without damaging one person. I'm afraid these achievements are subverting their previous understanding of crossbows.

Li Jing also smiled bitterly in his heart. I'm afraid his military book will be revised again this time.

Merton explained: "this is the boy's original three-stage attack strategy, which is inspired by the three consecutive shots in the pre-Qin period."

"Triple fire!" everyone frowned. They would not be unfamiliar with triple fire. Triple fire was originally a salute in the pre-Qin period. It was divided into initial fire, re fire and triple fire. Later, it was quoted in actual combat. It is usually used in field combat. Usually, there will be a round of triple fire to kill the enemy, and then they will fight with a knife.

However, Merton's three attacks were continuous shooting. Even if his martial arts were strong, he could not stop the first wave, the second wave, the third wave, people and horses. It was a human life harvester.

"Wei Chen made some improvements in the three consecutive shots. He divided the bow and crossbow soldiers into three rows. The first row was the initial shot. After shooting, the crossbow was loaded immediately. At the same time, the second row fired again. When the third row fired three shots, the first row had pulled the crossbow on the crossbow and fired again. The same was true for the second row of crossbow men, and so on. In this way, a continuous rain of arrows could be formed, and every time Every Bowman has enough time to load. "

"I see!"

They suddenly realized the truth and looked at Merton with a bit of surprise. Three consecutive shots are not top secret. However, all crossbow men have heard of it. However, they have never been able to create three attacks like Merton.

"Wonderful! In this way, the cavalry attacking at the front must be the first to kill, and the cavalry attacking at the back just encounter the second wave of arrow rain. By analogy, it is like a shield formed by crossbow and arrow, so that the cavalry can't enter inch." Cheng Yaojin patted his thigh. In the past, cavalry often rushed forward at the moment when the crossbow and arrow stopped. Although the killing power of the crossbow is great, the effect of killing the enemy is not ideal. However, the power of the crossbow increases exponentially with three-stage attack.

"Superb workmanship!" Li Jing exclaimed. Bows and crossbows are very common in the army. However, he did not expect to change and play such a powerful power in the hands of Mohist Zi.

"Everyone in the world says that Lord Mo is also a master of hundreds of schools. It can be seen that this statement is true." Duan Zhixuan sighed,

"I found that these crossbow soldiers can always accurately hit the cavalry in the front row. How did you do it?" Li Shimin turned his eyes and asked the key points of the three attacks.

The generals could not help nodding. It was the crossbow soldiers who killed the front cavalry first, and it took a certain time for the subsequent cavalry to rush forward. These time differences were just enough for the second wave of crossbow and arrow to shoot, which made the power of the three attacks frightening.

Merton proudly said, "this is not the boy's credit, but the boy's good friend Zu Mingjun, a classmate in the Imperial College, has painstakingly achieved his skills, and finally created a new arithmetic ballistics, which can accurately calculate the landing points of bows and crossbows and catapults."

"Ballistics!" Li Shimin was stunned. He also heard about Zu Mingjun. When he created the parabola, the Zu family used to play the imperial court. However, the parabola was not very practical at that time, and Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to it.

Merton explained: "parabola is ballistics in an absolutely ideal state. However, in practical application, when throwing an object, we also need to consider the force, and the inertia is extremely complex. Brother Zu was the founder of parabola. After further research, he finally created ballistics. With the support of this academic question, as long as it is within the range, whether it is a bow, crossbow or catapult!"

"What do you mean? What do you mean?" the generals realized the value of ballistics one after another.

"Where is your ancestral name now?" Li Shimin said in surprise.

"Brother Zu is in the valley on the west side. Naturally, he will use the catapult to demonstrate the power of Ballistics for his majesty later." Merton Lang said. He will not treat Zu Mingjun badly for helping him so much. He happens to be a favor here.

"If ballistics really has such a wonderful effect, I will certainly give you a reward," Li Shimin expected.

The generals could not help nodding. If ballistics can really improve the hit rate, it must be a great achievement.

"Arithmetic!" the people murmured in their hearts that the road of concurrently cultivating hundreds of schools was indeed correct. No one thought that arithmetic could be related to strategists.

Li Shimin waved his hand, and the 500 bowmen who had not yet come to an end practiced three-stage attack again. Looking at the dense arrow rain under the review stage, all the generals were excited and scared. They were excited that they had mastered such amazing combat skills. What they feared was that the weapon was fortunately on the side of Datang.

"Three segment strike is not the most powerful, even five segment strike and nine segment strike." Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he looked at the gap between the arrow rain.

"Your Majesty is wise. In this way, the power of the three section strike will be doubled!" Merton quickly flattered.

"But the risk is equally great. If it is an oversight and is approached by cavalry, I'm afraid all previous efforts will be wasted." Chang sun Shunde said hard.

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "what's the fear? Equip all the bows and crossbows with long guns. Even if the cavalry get close and form an exotic array, they can also protect themselves."

As soon as their eyes lit up, they suddenly nodded. If the soldiers were equipped with bows and crossbows and cooperated with the Macedonian square array, wouldn't it be possible to attack and defend.

Besides, if you really go to the battlefield, there will be multiple arms to cooperate, how can you let the crossbow soldiers personally take risks.

"From my point of view, the most important of these three-stage attack tactics is the divine arm crossbow. If it were not for this new type of crossbow with long range and fast loading, the power of the three-stage attack would be greatly reduced." Qin Qiong looked at the crossbow in the hands of the officers and men as if she thought.

Everyone nodded in succession. It was reasonable that the divine arm crossbow was created by Merton, and the three-stage strike was created by Merton.

Li Jing's expression moved and said: "I inform your majesty that the old minister has an unkind request. Can you take all the divine arm crossbows of the sixteen guards during the western expedition?"

Although the divine arm crossbow has been produced for three months, it is evenly distributed to the 16 guards, with only 500 per guard. If you take it all and use the three-stage attack tactics, it will certainly become a great killer of the western expedition army.

Li Shimin was in a happy mood and said, "why is this difficult? Li Aiqing has full power to decide."

Merton showed the amazing power of the divine arm crossbow and the three section strike. If the soldiers of the western expedition can add this sharp weapon, the odds of victory will increase greatly.

Even if Li Jing takes all the shenarm crossbows away, and now Zuojian and Mojia village are still fully producing shenarm crossbows, they will soon be able to fill the vacancy and will not cause an imbalance of force.

"Thank you, your majesty!" Li Jing said happily.

The crowd then restrained their minds and continued the martial arts. The next martial arts show was Qin Qiong and fan Xing. However, Qin Qiong was seriously injured and even lost too much in her early years. It was not so urgent for the western expedition. Finally, fan Xing seized the opportunity and won.

Although fan Xing beat Qin Qiong, he was defeated by Cheng Yaojin's left leading guard who waited for work with ease. The last place in the western expedition was finally taken back by Cheng Yaojin.

Morton felt no guilt about fan Xing's defeat. This time, he saved him by mistake. In his previous life, fan Xing did not make much achievements in the western expedition to Tuyuhun with Li Jing, but had continuous bad luck. On the contrary, in the subsequent battle with the rebellious Qiang people, he was dismissed because the army was out of time. Fortunately, he was spared because of his military achievements, It was a blessing in disguise not to go this time.

"Accept!" Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

"It's cheap for the old boy." the generals looked at Cheng Yaojin's successful face and turned their heads one after another.

"Why don't you believe nephew Mo Xianfang? Do you know that the reason why Su dingfang can transport military grain so quickly is the same idea of nephew Mo Xianfang. It's an accident once or twice, and it's still three or four times?" Cheng Yaojin inadvertently broke out another strong news.

The generals naturally heard the news about Su dingfang's transportation of military grain. The three cities transit and travel day and night. In this way, according to this speed, the first batch of military grain can be delivered to Lanzhou in three days. More importantly, the journey of the civilian men collected and distributed is only 300 miles. The civilian men have almost no complaints and are highly praised by the central government minister.

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that only the Mexican family who sticks to universal love can think of such an idea.

Li Shimin knew more than they did. In Su dingfang's compromise, even the eight wheeled carriage and crawler also played together. Naturally, he knew how much force Merton had put forward.

For a moment, Merton's reputation was not weaker than that of the generals. Although Merton didn't really unify the troops, it can be said that this western expedition had a countless relationship with Merton.

The generals were gratified and jealous, but on the surface, they looked at Merton like a newcomer.

So far, the candidates for the western expedition have been officially determined. They are Zuo Weiwei of Qi Xin He Li and Zuo Qianniu Wei general of Duan Zhixuan

Li Daliang's left guard, Gao Zhensheng's left guard, and Cheng Yaojin's left guard.

I don't know whether it's a coincidence or an accident. It's all left back.
