Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Li Kuan said this without blushing or breathing heavily, which made Eunuch Cao beside him stunned.

If he didn't know what had happened, he would have really believed Li Kuan's nonsense!
"One against ten? Your Majesty, what countermeasures have you come up with?"

Guo Shoujing was a little surprised, but was intrigued by Li Qiu's words and temporarily accepted Li Qiu's statement.

"Weapons and equipment! The combat effectiveness of soldiers will not change much in the short term. If you want to significantly improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers, the only way is to change their weapons and equipment."

Li Kuan's eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he had become a different person. The aura of the white-clothed god of war returned to him again.

Eunuch Cao behind him was dazed when he saw this. Could it be that Your Majesty had really thought about this problem seriously just now?
No! That's not right! He must be pretending to be calm!
"Weapons and equipment? How to change it?"

Guo Shoujing's eyes lit up and he continued to ask.

He also knew that weapons and equipment should be changed, but could weapons and equipment be changed just like that?
The Dayan army is currently equipped with the most sophisticated weapons!

In the past, only minor improvements were made, such as improvements to the materials of armor and shields.

"I want the Great Yan Army to be equipped with weapons of mass destruction!"

Li Kuan spoke slowly, and a murderous aura gushed out.

"Your Majesty, what have you come up with?"

Chen Qingzhi on the other side was getting a little impatient. If it was really as Li Kuan said, that after the Great Yan army was equipped with some lethal weapons, it could fight ten enemies at once, then those small countries next to the Great Yan would be nothing to worry about!

Da Yan already has millions of elite soldiers! They can fight ten enemies at once. Which country can compete with them? Even if all the small countries around them are added together, they are still not enough!
"It's not me. It's the one behind you."

Li Kuan pointed at Jiang Kun who was standing nearby and said.

In fact, Li Kuan had always wanted to bring the hot weapons of later generations to the army of Dayan.

At least let gunpowder, one of the four great inventions of the Celestial Empire, shine! Instead of just being used to make fireworks!
In the era of cold weapons, it was absolutely invincible!
If the Great Yan army could be equipped with a large number of hot weapons, it would be absolutely invincible.

But now is not the right time! It will take some time to prepare these things, and it will take some time!
"Hmm? The one behind me?"

Chen Qianzhi was a little confused. He turned around and found that behind him, there was only the old man who had introduced the three-masted warship earlier.

"Your Majesty, could it be?"

Guo Shoujing looked at Jiang Kun, with some vague guesses.

"Principal Guo, it's him. Even though he looks like an old country boy, he knows a lot of things. He is very good at Zhuge Crossbow!"

Now that we are marching eastward to Goguryeo, it is time to let these things that have been covered in dust for so long reappear before the eyes of the world!

Zhuge Liannu was created by Zhuge Kongming! It can fire ten arrows at a time!

If it is widely used in the army, the lethality will be extremely amazing! The rain of arrows is a good defense and offense!
Unfortunately, due to the loss of its production techniques, its former glory can only appear in historical books.

"What! Zhuge Crossbow?"

Chen Qianzhi widened his eyes. Others did not know the value of this, but he, who had fought throughout his life, knew it very well!

If the Zhuge Crossbow could be widely used, then when the two sides were fighting, an army of 10,000 could indeed suppress the enemy's army of 100,000 with firepower in a short period of time.

"Isn't this thing lost? How come this old guy can really make it?"

Cheng Yaojin on the other side shouted at the top of his voice, with some doubt in his tone.

"I know how to make this thing!"

Jiang Kun said this with great confidence without being modest.

As a master of his generation, he would not be a master if he didn't have this basic foundation.

"Hahahaha...good!good!good!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Shoujing burst into laughter and said three "good" words in a row.

As long as the army's combat effectiveness is improved, the surrounding small countries will not dare to cause chaos!

Without external threats, Dayan can recuperate and move towards a prosperous era!
There is also the Eight Ox Crossbow! Also known as the Three Bow Crossbow! The arrows are made of hard wood as the shaft

"The arrows are like javelins! They can be driven into the walls! Human bodies are unstoppable!"

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Li Kuan did not stop there, but continued speaking.

"Eight Oxen Crossbow? What is this?"

The shock on Chen Qianzhi's face turned into surprise. Even though he had fought for many years, he had never heard of such a thing.

Could it be another long-lost weapon?
"The Eight Oxen Crossbow is a crossbow made of three large bows combined into a crossbow cannon. It requires thirty people to pull it open! Of course, it doesn't take 30 people to launch it with the device."

Faced with Chen Qingzhi's doubts, Li Kuan did not keep him in suspense, but spoke very carefully.

"The strength of 30 people? How big a bow would require the strength of 30 people to pull it open?"

Cheng Yaojin on the other side was a little surprised. The combined strength of thirty people was already a very powerful force!
If there really were such a large bow, its power would surely be beyond the reach of human power!

The crossbow was also used in the Dayan army, but it was not as powerful as Li Kuan said.

"Your Majesty, are you this old man who can make an eight-bull crossbow?"

Guo Shoujing's body was trembling slightly, and he could hardly suppress his excitement.

A three-masted warship was already a great surprise to him, and the Zhuge Crossbow made him even more excited and fascinated!

Now that they have an Eight Ox Crossbow, why should the army of Da Yan be invincible?
"Principal Guo...I'm not very familiar with this either."

Jiang Kun believed that he was very familiar with these long-lost skills. He was also very proficient in the skills of crossbows, but he had never heard of the Eight-Ox Crossbow.

"Then this..."

Guo Shoujing frowned slightly. If he didn't know how to do it, why did he bring it up?
Isn't this just making him happy for nothing?

"Principal Guo, I know how to do this."

Just when Guo Shoujing was feeling a little disappointed, Li Kuan said with a smile.

"Hmm? Your Majesty? You can also make this... Eight Ox Crossbow?"

Cheng Yaojin on the side was shocked when he heard this. What was there that Li Kuan didn't know?
He is the best at marching and fighting! He is also the one who created the auspicious potato!

He is good at brewing wine, cooking and inventing things! He even built a warship by himself!
Now, unexpectedly, a powerful Eight Ox Crossbow was created!
They were both generals in the past, but Cheng Yaojin was only good at leading charges. It's really frustrating to compare yourself to him!

"Your Majesty! Goguryeo has already deployed its troops on the Yalu River. Now is the time to use such a powerful weapon! Without further ado, why don't you and this master make one now and let us see its power?"

Although the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo had switched to attacking from the sea, a siege was essential after crossing the sea and landing!
If the two powerful weapons mentioned by Li Kuan can be equipped to the army as soon as possible, they will definitely be an indispensable trump card during the Eastern Expedition!

"Yes! Get it out now and let us see it!"

Cheng Yaojin was also itching to do something, and started to make some plans in his mind.

If he could get this kind of powerful weapon to his army, then he wouldn't have to work so hard on the march! "I've been thinking about this for many days and I'm exhausted. Besides, this Eight Ox Crossbow requires some materials and it won't be ready in a short time. How about letting me rest for a few days before I start?"

Li Kuan winked at Jiang Kun, wanting him to take the opportunity to hint to Guo Shoujing.

Although the Gewu Academy has already received some attention from Guo Shoujing, Li Kuan has other ideas!

If you want to move all the lost or unseen weapons to Dayan, it is essential to allocate resources!

Why not take this opportunity to make Guo Shoujing truly pay attention to the Institute of Gewu?

"The Institute of Gewu has all kinds of materials. If there is really nothing, Your Majesty should be able to mobilize the resources of Chang'an City. I can start the work immediately!"

Unexpectedly, old man Jiang Kun didn't understand Li Kuan's meaning at all and looked impatient.

"You kid! You're always making excuses! I'm afraid there is no such thing as the Eight Ox Crossbow. It's just something you made up!"

Cheng Yaojin, who was standing by, was already itching to do something when he heard Li Kuan's refusal. How could he agree to it?
If he didn't see Li Kuan today, he would be angry with Li Kuan because of the Eight Ox Crossbow he mentioned!
"Old devil? You're trying to provoke me? I'm not fooled by that! Today I'm going to let you see what I'm doing!"

Seeing the old demon jump out, Li Kuan immediately became serious.

He just likes to slap Cheng Yaojin in the face!

A moment later, at Li Kuan's request, Jiang Kun had a large pile of materials brought in.

The two people, one on the left and one on the right, began their respective productions.

The Eight Ox Crossbow, also known as the Three-bow Crossbow, was built by Li Kuan first. The three bows of the Eight Ox Crossbow are not small, and the bracket that supports them is even larger!
"General Chen, is the bracket of my Dayan's crossbow so big? How powerful is it?"

Guo Shoujing suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Qingzhi behind him and asked with some kindness.

Although he was the prime minister, he was not very familiar with things like crossbows.

"Replying to Lord Guo, although we have crossbows in Great Yan, we don't use them much. Although they are powerful, they can't influence the outcome of the battle."

Chen Qingzhi pondered for a moment before saying that the crossbows used by Dayan were also used in attacking and defending cities, but their power was not as powerful as Li Kuan described!
Li Kuan's hands moved very quickly, and in just half an hour, he had completed the support part.

He did not stop, but took out three large bows and fixed their bowstrings to the triggers with pulleys.

Three large bows, each of which is extremely powerful when used alone! With the bowstring fully drawn, it can directly shoot through the enemy's head within a hundred steps!
But at this moment, Li Kuan fixed the three large bows together!
"…If you really put an arrow on this thing and shoot it at a target within a hundred meters, there is absolutely no chance of survival..."

Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Kuan and the three large bows fixed on the trigger, and his face twitched.

Although he is good at using a big axe to kill enemies in battle!
But even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run. There are also many archers in the army.

"Your Majesty... Were you really just a son-in-law of the Du family..."

Li Kuan's hands moved extremely fast, and his production techniques were so miraculous that Guo Shoujing, who was standing behind him, felt dazed.

The young man in front of him felt extremely unreal!

"Yes... Your Majesty, this kid is really a freak, and he is becoming more and more difficult to understand."

Chen Qingzhi deeply agreed with Guo Shoujing's feelings.

On the other hand, since Jiang Kun was very familiar with Zhuge Crossbow, he had already prepared some semi-finished products!

Just to wait for an opportunity to let these dusty things see the light of day again!

"Master Guo! The Zhuge Crossbow is complete!"

Jiang Kun held the crossbow and walked in front of the people who were still paying attention to Li Kuan's progress, looking a little excited.

"Hmm? Is this Zhuge Liannu?"

Guo Shoujing turned around and took the crossbow from Jiang Kun's hand.

The Zhuge Crossbow is heavy to begin with, and its size is also quite large compared to ordinary crossbows.

There seemed to be a sharp and cold breath coming from it, telling Guo Shoujing that it was unusual!
"Where's the bow and arrow? Bring it here quickly! I want to try it!"

Guo Shoujing couldn't let go of the crossbow in his hand and stroked it, looking eager to try it out.

"Master Guo, this bow and arrow is specially made. I only made it this small in a hurry."

Jiang Kun handed Guo Shoujing a bow and arrows, about twenty in total.

"Master Guo, let the hard work of testing arrows be done by the future."

The group followed Guo Shoujing to a martial arts field in the Gewu Academy, where there were several targets and scarecrows.

Just when Guo Shoujing wanted to try out the arrows, Cheng Yaojin came up from behind him and looked at the Zhuge Crossbow with great envy.

This is a long-lost treasure! Right now, there are only about twenty bows and arrows!
It is said that it can fire ten arrows at a time, and more than twenty arrows can only be fired twice.

Cheng Yaojin naturally didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

"In that case, let you come."

Guo Shoujing seemed to see the light in the old demon's eyes. He nodded slightly and handed the crossbow to him.

"Is this Zhuge Liannu..."

Cheng Yaojin took the crossbow, stroked it gently, and murmured.

"Let's get started! Let's all see the power of this Zhuge Crossbow."

Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was somewhat absorbed in thought, Guo Shoujing spoke unhappily.

"Yes"

The old goblin came to his senses, but after fiddling with it for a long time he still couldn't figure out how to operate it.

"General Cheng, this is a crossbow arrow. You load it into it and pull the trigger immediately."

Jiang Kun, who was standing by, saw Cheng Yaojin frozen in place and stepped forward to remind him.

"I see!"

Cheng Yaojin did not hesitate any longer. He carefully loaded the specially made crossbow arrows into the crossbow and then looked at a target a hundred meters away.

After loading, pull the bowstring tight, hold the crossbow with your right hand and the trigger with your left hand.

One eye was slightly narrowed, aiming at the center of the target over there.

Pull the trigger!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Ten crossbow arrows shot out from the crossbows at the same time, rushing towards the target over there at lightning speed!
