The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

561章 战争利器

"clang!"

There was a piercing sound of metal colliding, and at the same time there was a burst of exclamation.Chen Ziming and others are testing their weapons. Two long swords are slashing at each other. One is the long sword currently equipped in Liu Bei's army, and the other is the latest long sword developed by the largest arsenal in Dahan.

The result is obvious. The newly developed long sword won the battle, and the old long sword broke directly from the collision. This result surprised Chen Ziming, and then he was overjoyed. It seems that the arsenal has made a great breakthrough in the development of steel, otherwise it would be impossible Developed such an excellent long sword.

Guan Yu, who was on the side, looked at the newly developed long sword, his eyes glistened. As a general who leads the army all year round, Guan Yu knows very well how important a high-quality weapon is to a soldier.

"Ziming, all the long swords in the army must be replaced." Guan Yu said firmly. Replacing such long swords will improve the combat effectiveness of the army to a higher level.

Chen Ziming looked at the newly made long sword, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Change."

The manager of the arsenal on the side also had a smile on his face. Although he had expected this result, he was very happy when he got an accurate answer. In order to develop new weapons, they worked overtime every day. How many people knew the hard work they put in.

Guan Yu hit the iron while it was hot: "There are also spears, which are also extremely sharp."

Hearing Guan Yu's words, Chen Ziming frowned. After pondering for a while, he didn't reply to Guan Yu immediately, but asked the factory manager beside him, "What is the production volume of recruit A? What is the production speed?"

The factory manager is a professional technician. As soon as he heard Chen Ziming's question, he knew what Chen Ziming meant, and he didn't dare to hide it. Forge better steel."

"However." The factory manager said helplessly: "New steel has very high requirements for ore, and it is not easy to produce, and the output is far from low-quality steel."

As soon as Chen Ziming heard it, he knew the problem: "That is to say, it is absolutely impossible to replace the entire army's equipment in a short period of time?"

"Of course." The factory manager nodded, the low output is the key.

When Guan Yu heard this, he quit, and immediately said: "Then send more people and expand the factory."

"Second brother." Chen Ziming saw that Guan Yu didn't care about this, and said helplessly, "This is not a manpower problem, but a technical problem, and a raw material problem. In a word, it is impossible for the entire army to replace equipment now."

The technology needs to be improved, and the high-quality iron ore that meets the standard is limited, or the mining speed is limited. To put it bluntly, the technology is still backward. If the technology is not up to the standard, it is useless to send more people. clear.

"In this way, the factory will speed up the production of recruit armor, how much to produce for the military department, and what to produce, and I will give you an accurate reply after the military department discusses it." Chen Ziming can only settle for the next best thing, and it is impossible for the entire army to change clothes.

"I'll pre-order [-] swords, [-] spears, and [-] armors. I need the best of them all within three months. Don't bully me!" As soon as Chen Ziming opened his mouth, Zhang Fei hurried forward and gave them to him face to face. The arsenal places an order.

"Yide!" Guan Yu glared at Zhang Fei, and he, the great general, hadn't even spoken yet.

After hearing Zhang Fei's words, the director of the arsenal looked at Chen Ziming with a bitter face, as if asking for help. He couldn't afford to offend Zhang Fei.

"Is there any difficulty?" Chen Ziming looked at the factory manager suspiciously.

The factory manager hurriedly said: "The long sword and the spear are no problem, but the armor has a lot of consumables, and it is not easy to make. If you refine a new armor, [-] sets will be empty for three years."

"What? Three years?" Zhang Fei on the side was furious. For three years, according to the plan of Chen Ziming and others, the attack on Cao Cao is expected to be two years later, and the battle armor will be obtained in three years. What's the use at that time, Zhang Fei Immediately quit.

"Maximize the production of long swords and spears, and manufacture [-] sets of battle armor first." Chen Ziming knew what Zhang Fei needed so many weapons and battle armor. Zhang Fei's heavy cavalry was Liu Bei's hole card, and all of them must be equipped with the best Bingjia.

"No, [-] sets of new armor." Zhang Fei yelled with an angry face.

"Huh?" Guan Yu's eyes sharpened, and he looked dissatisfied at Zhang Fei who lost his composure. Seeing this, Zhang Fei flinched, but Chen Ziming was speechless for a while with his uncompromising posture.

But soon, Chen Ziming rolled his eyes, and immediately said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, the new armor should be given priority to the elder brother's own army to ensure the safety of the elder brother. If all the new armor is given to the third brother, the next time he goes out, the elder brother will be safe." It all depends on the third brother, and the soldiers of the third brother must not be half a step away from the eldest brother."

After Zhang Fei heard this, he looked at Chen Ziming in a daze, but quickly realized what Chen Ziming meant. Chen Ziming promised to equip Zhang Fei's entire army with new armor, but he was needed to protect Liu Bei.

The next time Zhang Fei goes on an expedition, of course Zhang Fei knows that it will be Liu Bei's attack on Cao Cao. At that time, Liu Bei will definitely go on an expedition himself. At that time, it will also be the time for Zhang Fei to show off his skills. But according to Chen Ziming's consciousness, he wants to let his heavy cavalry become Guard, protect Liu Bei, can not participate in the battle.

"That..." Zhang Fei immediately lowered his head, and weakly said to Chen Ziming: "Brother, there is Dian Wei, a savage man by his side, so you should be safe, and you can divide the troops to Dian Wei one step at a time."

Zhang Fei was not allowed to participate in the battle. Of course, Zhang Fei refused. Under Chen Ziming's persecution, Zhang Fei finally compromised. According to Chen Ziming's arrangement just now, [-] new armors will be provided, and the rest will be equipped by Liu Bei's pro-army.

Previously, Chen Ziming was worried that the new weapons were too good and he would not be able to get so much money to change them, but now it seems that he overthinks them. The weapons are good, but it takes time to change them. Even with the money, there is no place to change them. purchase.

The final estimate is that within two years, 20 long swords, [-] spears, and [-] sets of battle armor will be produced, and no more can be produced. Moreover, the arsenal is still a state institution, which means that it is completely serving the big man, and only the materials are collected. The cost and labor cost are very low, and the military expenditure is barely enough.

But with the appearance of the next weapon, Chen Ziming had to start thinking of ways to make money. Compared with these weapons, Bingjia is just a child's play.

latest catapult

latest bed crossbow

newest longbow

latest crossbow

The latest nest car

The latest ladder

. . . . . . .

There are a total of more than ten kinds of heavy weapons, which are much stronger than those currently used by Liu Bei's army, especially the new catapults and bed crossbows. war monster.

Assemble a heavy-duty catapult, and the projection distance is 500 steps. These 100 steps are not the [-] steps of later generations, but equivalent to about [-] meters in later generations. This range can be imagined, and the latest bow and arrow has an effective killing range. Only about [-] meters.

Chapter 562 Secret Weapon

"boom!"

"it is good!"

There was a roaring sound, and 500 meters away, a group of flames exploded, and the flames splashed in all directions.

Seeing this kind of result, Chen Ziming and others kept making friends, and what they were testing now was a new type of catapult. What they just projected was a secret weapon specially developed by the military factory, named Thunderbolt.

And the new type of catapult was ordered to be the thunderbolt. The highlight of this catapult, and what Chen Ziming liked the most, was the thunderbolt.

The thunderbolt is a ball with a diameter of half a meter, made of cowhide. The inside of the ball is divided into nine squares. Each grid is equipped with different movements. They are all flammable. After the thunderbolt hits the point, it is projected by the thunderbolt car Going out, it hit the ground fiercely, the thunderbolt broke apart, exploded, and continued to burn around, the flames were very poisonous.

This is simply an ancient version of artillery shells, or an ancient version of incendiary bombs. It is too powerful. This is the most powerful ancient siege weapon that Chen Ziming has ever seen. There is no such thing. The most important thing is that this thing can Mass production.

"I want five hundred of these things." Before Chen Ziming and Guan Yu could speak, Zhang Fei impatiently placed an order, leaving Chen Ziming speechless again. Zhang Fei wanted all kinds of good things.

"Yide, this matter is assigned by the military department, so don't mess around." Guan Yu didn't do it anymore. It is impossible to give all these things to Zhang Fei, and every army must equip them.

"Third brother." Chen Ziming also said speechlessly: "The heavy cavalry are all cavalry, and the logistics pressure is already huge, how can we build stone slingers."

What a joke, Zhang Fei is leading a heavy cavalry army, equipped with bows and arrows at most, if you want to equip a strategic weapon like thunderbolt chariot, you can also leave a suit of armor, otherwise Liu Bei's logistics will be overwhelmed if you keep the heavy cavalry army.

Whether it is a heavy cavalry army or a thunderbolt car, the logistics requirements are very high, especially the thunderbolt car, because of the reason for the thunderbolt bullet, it is even necessary to establish a special logistics supply line. For the transportation capacity of this era, this requirement is too strong. .

"It's not difficult, just build a catapult army, and recruit more civilians." Zhang Fei was determined to ask for Thunderbolt cars, and he asked for five hundred, without considering other people's feelings at all.

The factory manager buried his head and said in a low voice: "It is not easy to produce Perak cars, and it needs high-quality fine wood, which needs to be shipped from Jizhou and other places..."

Anyway, it's just a sentence, they can't come up with so much, and it's impossible to meet Zhang Fei's request.
