Chapter 208 Building the Poxi Army

Without Du Niang, I can only rely on thinking. In this era, there were two types of equipment that had great power in siege. One was a bed crossbow. Although there was no one now, there was a giant crossbow. The second was a catapult cart, and this one was also available.

But these two are big guys, how can they cooperate with the cavalry? Once these guys are equipped, the cavalry will lose the maneuver advantage of coming and going like the wind, taking into account both. But how can they take into account both?

I suddenly remembered an ancient military branch: "Puxijun." Zhao Xing jumped high and cheered for his intelligence. Is it right, how can time travelers be defeated by this difficulty? When you look at history, you should remember history. Poxijun is his best model of plagiarism.

The name of Poxijun is very strange, and it is obviously a problem of language translation. As for what it means, no one knows. The number of Poxijun was not large at that time, only more than 200 people per pixel. Why use Pi as a unit? Because it is a camel soldier.

Camel soldiers can also fight? Yes, on the loess high slope, camel soldiers can fight. So how did the Xixia people use camels?

This is closely related to the development of long-range attack weapons. In the Song Dynasty, long-range attack weapons such as catapults and bed crossbows had been widely used, especially during siege and charge, these weapons played a great role, and nomadic peoples suffered greatly.

Later, the smart Xixia people were inspired by it, and they perfectly combined the catapult with camels. The advantage of the catapult is that it has great destructive power, and its disadvantage is that it is very large and bulky. So the Xixia people thought of changing it to smaller and making it into a pocket version to shoot the enemy. There is also the problem of movement. The camels in Xixia happen to be a mobile machine with good loads, and two natural humps can be used to fix the catapults. So the Xixia people thought of using camels and catapults to build a mobile long-range attack force. This is the Poxi Army.

The catapult car installed by the Poxijun on the camel is a more efficient whirlwind cannon, which is a circular strike weapon with four catapult arms. It is said that he can throw three hundred fists-sized stones in one minute.

Three hundred, that is the ancient heavy machine gun.

Okay, it's him. Xixia has no money to have a lot of equipment, but I have money, I want a lot of equipment. What if I fight the Song Dynasty loses its city and land after 300, I'll pretend to be 30,000. Of course, this is yy, but 30,000 is still OK.

If you ask Zhao Xing if he can do such a complex technology, to be precise, he won't.

So, Zhao Xing hurriedly stepped onto the middle pillar peak of Wutai Mountain and came to his Daijun Technical School. No, it was called Daijun's "Hundred Tech Academy."

Hu Feizi, the third-class Mohist son of the contemporary era, personally welcomed him to the foot of the mountain.

"How is it, are you doing well with your students?"

Hu Feizi said frankly: "After receiving the meticulous care of Master, everyone is at ease to learn. Especially when Master taught me on the top of the mountain, although we devoted ourselves to research and did not understand Xingzi's knowledge, we still let Mozi's theory and practice go up to the level, let us know the direction, and the Momen will not be carried forward far."

Zhao Xing nodded: "As long as you don't regard what I said back then as a rebellious nonsense, I only know the theoretical background. I will study and explore the principles in depth, and you still need to work hard."

Thanks to Zhao Xing's continuous investment, he hired migrant workers to create a good environment for these real scientists to do research. The road up the mountain is no longer rugged and difficult to walk. Groups of students are up and down in groups, meeting each other easily and then talking all the way, enjoying the beautiful scenery around them, which is quiet and relaxing.

What Zhao Xing hopes is that scientists can really study more things in such an environment.

It is best to study something advanced under your own inspiration, such as creating an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb for yourself, which is an unexpected surprise.

Zhao Xing saw something ahead of time. In the square of Shanding Academy, a large group of students were busy building a huge iron tower, giving Zhao Xing an illusion of seeing high-voltage lines.

“What is this for?”

The sage said solemnly: "As far as we heard the Master mentioned the magical thing about electricity in his sermon, we worked hard, but we could not get it. So everyone thought of lightning and lightning. Finally, everyone developed that they could draw electricity through metal iron."

Zhao Xing was shocked at that time. Wutai was in a high position. There was a lot of lightning in the mountains. If such a big guy was really used to lure the lightning down, the top of the mountain would be flattened. Then he worked hard to invest in countless Hundred-Tech Academies and gathered scientists from all over the country, and would be killed.

"Disassemble quickly, and then remove it quickly." Zhao Xing jumped and then had to tell them with great thoughts how dangerous such an experiment was.

The son Hu Feizi was also shocked. Scientific experiments are OK, but it is not possible to cause death if you can't be so scared.

Zhao Xing said tactfully again: "But this is not a scare. If you make them smaller, then install them on a tall palace and use them as a lightning rod. You must know that there are countless tall buildings in the world who are destroyed by lightning every year."

The boy wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and said to Zhao Xing: "Actually, we had discovered the electricity you mentioned more than a hundred years ago and could obtain it. But it was indeed too weak. The weak can only prove his existence and is useless."

As he said that, he took Zhao Xing to the test showroom. Zhao Xing saw Zeng Houyi's treasure at first sight. No one knew what to do at that time, and he was called a spindle.

Love, the spindle that uses gold as springs, is actually the generator of this era.

But Zhao Xing really only knew theories and didn't know how to get the generator out, so he had to look at all kinds of things that were unknown, and finally explained his purpose.

The Mohist school emphasizes right and wrong attacks. Originally, Zhao Xing thought that if he asked them to help him study murder weapons, Hu Feizi would reject it. If he wanted to refuse, even though he was their financial backer, he could not force them.

As a result, Hu Feizi directly took Zhao Xing to the exhibition hall of the city guarding the city, pointing to a light crossbow arrow, a light stone throwing cart, and a strange guy with six arms and said, "Does Xingjun want such a weapon that can be disassembled and folded?"

This is like sleepy encountering a pillow, feelings, what I want, and this place has been invented long ago.

Hu Feizi looked at Zhao Xing's embarrassing expression and explained frankly: "Although our Mo family sticks to non-attack, they still have the heart to protect their homes. We deeply know that Dai County is in the four battles and has many enemies in Dai County. In order to protect their homes, we need our soldiers to have more advanced weapons, so we have studied these."

Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, it's not that we don't want to fight, war will perish. Sometimes, stopping war with war is also a way."

The prince smiled: "If the world is unified, there will be no disputes and no attacks among the princes. That is the real implementation of our Mohist non-aggression." Then he pointed to these weapons that advanced to this era: "Weapons can attack other countries or guard their homes. The weapons are correct, and the right and wrong are all dependent on the user's concept and mind."

These solemnly bowed: "I've been taught here."

After getting the sample, Wangzi sent ten proficient disciples to follow him down the mountain. Zhao Xing immediately took out a large amount of funds to build a factory and produce these high-tech advanced weapons.

At the same time, recruiting soldiers for training is an advanced weapon with a high technological content and requires professional soldiers to operate.

As for camels, there is nothing, just open your mouth and buy them from your own good Anda.

So, Zhao Xing secretly formed the three thousand camels of Poxi Army, with a total force of 10,000 people, and handed over to Lin Hu for command.

Why is it called such a weird name in Poxijun? Zhao Xing explained seriously, "I want to let this army surprise the enemy."

Due to Zhao Xing's sudden big move, several vassal states became alert. Zhao Xing, the Xingjun who could influence Zhao the most, was even more a warlike militant. He suddenly bought grain and expanded his army in a big way. He must have made some plans. Whoever his iron hoof and saber was aimed at became the key to the fear of the various vassals.

And here, the most worrying thing is Zhongshan Country next to the bed.

Now the whole situation is not good for Zhongshan. Yan State, which had been sponsoring Zhongshan to confront Zhao State, suffered a great loss of energy and no longer had the ability to provide assistance to Zhongshan.

Another King Wei of Qi who had been scheming and encouraging Zhongshan to resist Zhao also died this year.

Now Qi State is busy with funerals and succession to the new king, and he has no ability or energy to take care of Zhongshan.

Everything depends on itself, so Zhongshan Kingdom began to prepare for war, and they also began to actively stockpile food, which is the key war materials.

The information about Zhongshan's purchase of grain from various countries in the fourth customs clearance was sent back by Zhao She, asking Zhao Xing to ask whether they would cut off their transactions.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhao Xing finally shook his head and denied this method.

His purpose is to build the Four-Perfect Clearance into a world-wide trade center. A free trade port, he must not interfere with anyone who trades there, whether it is his own ally or his own enemies. Although Zhongshan's actions will bring resistance to his future war, from the long-term development of Four-Perfect Clearance Clearance, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

However, I have to think of some other way to consume Zhongshan’s grain reserves.

It's the end of the year again. To sum up, this is the sixth year of Zhao Yong. In short, Zhao Xing has been in the Warring States Period for six years. His daughter has run around the ground and chases Lian Po's uncle and uncle and shouts.

His second wife also became pregnant with Zhao Xing's flesh and blood in Handan. His wife Zhao Ji took his own initiative and took Qianqian to Daijun. The family finally reunited.

But soon after the reunion, Zhao Xing embarked on the way to Handan again. First, he wanted to fulfill his lord's duties and offer this year's offering to the king. Second, Qin Mo was in a hurry, and Qin State attacked Yicheng very urgently. They could not resist it and hoped that Zhao Xing would take charge of the plan.

Although Zhao State has not yet destroyed Lin Hu, regained Loufan, and brought these two areas back to Zhao, it is also very necessary to let them temporarily surrender to themselves and help them restrain Qin Yan, and not to cause trouble for themselves when they annihilate Zhongshan.
