Chapter 20 Xuanwu
"Sir, the baby is here." A warrior ran over quickly and said in a low voice.
Ying Xiang? Shangwen turned cold and asked Bushi, "What did he do here?"
"It seems to be heading towards the Xuanwu Car created by Mr. Gongshu."
"If you know, why don't you let him go and take a look? He can only take a look." Shangwen sneered, waved his hand, and signaled the warrior to retreat.
Dongcheng, where the Shang samurai's sons teach the place where the shield chariot is used.
There was a sudden sharp and strange roar in the air, and a "pan" sound, a stone bullet dropped from close range by a super-level warrior, hitting a shield car in front of a big turtle-shaped shield car. The earth-block cloth hanging outside the shield car flew with the earth-stones, but the entire vehicle was intact and retreated three feet under the impact of force.
On the other side, another shield car is not under attack.
The warrior hiding under the turtle cart pulled the winch behind the Jiuniu Crossbow vigorously. After a while, he finally put the strings on the Jiuniu Crossbow. Then two more warriors carried a special spear and placed it on the crossbow bed.
The warrior in the rear took a sledgehammer and knocked hard.
"Swoosh!" The gun spear burst out from the shooting hole left in the "turtle ~ head" part in front of the shield car, penetrated straight through five hundred steps, and plunged heavily into the city wall.
"Okay." Seeing this power, Wu Fengqi praised it and said to Gongshu Kang on the side: "This Xuanwu car can attack and defend. If you get it earlier, why would you lose that day? It's just that the number is too small. It would be great if you can build more."
Gongshu Kang said: "General Wu, it is not easy to build this equipment, and it is far from comparable to the shield chariot in the general's camp."
"The general only saw that our losers came, he built more than ten vehicles, but the most important part of the tortoise shell was made of thick bronze and fine gold. The price was comparable to hundreds of famous swords. The three-bow and nine-ox crossbow below was based on the research and imitation of a three-bow and nine-ox crossbow obtained from the battlefield of Cai Chen decades ago. It took several years to make a bed crossbow. In addition to the hundreds of Zhang family in the Chen State, only these thirteen are now worth the price of the general?"
"The head of the Shang family, who also lost this time, can afford the price, otherwise our loser would never have taken out all the Xuanwu car and handed it to the general for use."
Listening to Gongshukang's introduction, Wu Fengqi's expression changed a lot. At this moment, he finally deeply realized the saying in Wu's military school that war was about money and food.
According to Gongshukang, the value of this car is simply terrifying. The value of the past tanks is already expensive, but dozens of cars are probably not as expensive as this one. It is also a blessing that the Shang family has a strong wealth. Otherwise, if it were a doctor with a smaller territory, he would probably not be able to buy a car.
But then again, this car has an unparalleled long-range attack with three bows and nine ox crossbows. With the bronze tortoise shell and the earth bundle hanging outside the tortoise shell, it can even resist the stone bombs fired by the crossbow weapons of the Huai Shang army. If the four copper wheels under the car are equipped with blade tools, a group of warriors push the car with all their strength under the tortoise shell, which also has the effect of killing the chariot. On weekdays, four horses can be dragged in the lane. It can be called attack, defense, and movement. It is actually a rare war equipment. It is used well but it is definitely no worse than the Huai Shang crossbow cannon. No matter how expensive it is, it is worth it.
"Greetings to the Yingxiang." Just as he was thinking, Gongshu Kang bowed to the side.
Wu Fengqi turned around and saw the infant coming with Wu Di.
"General Wu." Wu Di said to Wu Fengqi with a smile on his face: "I heard that the general has received help from the loss of public officials, and he can be used as the crossbow weapons of the coalition forces in the Huai River. But I wonder how confident is he in this battle?"
"The military situation is impermanent." Wu Fengqi said: "Who in the world can say that he is victorious in every battle? He just does his best."
"What a good person to do his best." Wu Di smiled and said, "It's just that General Wu knows his own situation. Whether he wins or loses, it's not good?"
"This is all for your Wu family's blessing." Wu Fengqi sneered: "Otherwise, how could this happen?"
Wu Di said: "Of course this is a blessing from our Wu family. Otherwise, where did General Wu learn military skills and where did he get the promotion level?"
"Mr. Wu is here today. Could it be that he is here to talk to me? If so, please leave yourself. I will be very concerned about how to deal with the Huaihe coalition forces, but I don't have the time and mind to talk about these trivial matters. Today I would like to advise everyone of Wu to use more snacks here."
Wu Fengqi's voice was stern, but Wu Di said unwillingly: "I came today to save the general's life and future. Why did General Wu drive people like this?"
"My life and future of Wu Fengqi have always been within my control. Why do you need to save me from Wu?" Wu Fengqi said coldly.
"Oh?" Wu Di smiled and said, "If this battle is won, if the Shang family removes the general's military power and loses the military strength, will the general be sure to be sealed when he is alive?"
Wu Fengqi's eyes narrowed: "Mr. Wu has something to say, so there is no need to beat around the bush."
Wu Di nodded: "Today, I am accompanying Ying Xiang to watch the shield car of the public loser. I happened to meet General Wu, and I happened to tell General Yu what Ying Xiang wanted to say to the general."
"Tell me." Wu Fengqi said.
"Ying Xiang said that if this battle is won, the general will make such great contributions to the Shang clan, but his life is threatened by the landlord. The Shang clan can stand up and count the Shang clan's conspiracy and call on all the doctors of Cai to fight them together. With the prestige of the general at that time, the king will come forward and the temptation of the Shang clan's territory, the doctors across the country will definitely respond."
"With this achievement, he can help the general to be sealed by a country on Huai Shang."
Wu Fengqi looked at Wu Di deeply and said, "You have thought about this too far. It's still a big deal to defeat Huai Shang. Have you ever thought about it if you lose this battle?"
"If you lose this battle, the Shang family's strength will definitely be greatly damaged, and the trouble will be even greater in the future." Wu Di said with a smile.
"Our strategy of Cai's annexation of the seven countries is because he is strongly attacking the evil spirit. He should be responsible for it. Someone must compensate the losses of the officials across the country. In this case, can the general be willing to stay on a ship that will sink? Especially the owner of the ship seems to have lost trust in the general?"
Wu Fengqi's eyes almost narrowed.
Wu Di's meaning is very clear. What does it mean that someone must compensate the losses of doctors across the country? This is to be prepared to push the responsibility for failure to the Shang family, and then pull all families across the country to divide the territory of the Shang family together. The Shang family, which has a great loss of strength, may be able to stop the entire Cai State?
Such a plan is really powerful. It seems that no matter whether you win or lose in this battle, Shang's situation will be bad.
"What about the baby?" After Wu Di Yu and Wu Fengqi said something, he walked to the baby's side.
"The Xuanwu car of the Gongshuo player is good, but the cost is too expensive." Yingzi said: "Where are you negotiating with Wu Fengqi?"
Wu Di said: "I told him what Yingxiang meant."
"Just say it." Yingzi nodded and said, "Wu Fengqi is a smart person and will definitely make choices that are beneficial to him. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the advantage of his choice will definitely be very beneficial to me. Of course, if he can win, it will be better."
At this time, Wu Fengqi's body suddenly shook, and looked at Wu Di with a complicated expression, and shouted: "I just received the news from Doctor Shang that the soldiers and vehicles stationed in Jidi in the Huai Shang Army have been ignited, and they are suspected of going north to fight with our Da Cai."
