Chapter 196 Daqin's Weapon Experiment

After returning from Black Star, Shuoyang went back to his room in a daze.

Everything she saw on the Black Star was beyond her knowledge. It also made her realize how powerful Fusu's influence and strength were, and how narrow-minded she was in the past.

What do you mean by the unity of the whole world that the Lich King can be defeated? They are not worthy of being Fusu's enemies at all. With just one word from Fusu, any general on the Black Star can destroy the entire world.

Looking at Shuoyang who went upstairs in a daze, Fusu shook his head, then sat on the sofa, drinking tea and thinking.

Today's shock was too great for Shuoyang, so it would be better to let her think more by herself. I also have important things to think about.

However, Fusu was very concerned about the information he received on the Black Star. Taibai Jinxing asked him to destroy a planet, and he would get 10 million merits if he completed the task.

When returning from the Black Star, Fusu had already sent scouts of the undead there. From the current reconnaissance, this planet is not controlled or supported by any other gods or alien forces. On the surface, its technological culture is comparable to that of the Han Dynasty, but a large number of immortal races have appeared.

Although he had only been in the Heavenly Court for three years and his understanding of the universe was still superficial, immortality was indeed something that the rules of the universe could not tolerate. When a higher civilization discovered that there were immortals in a lower civilization, the result was often the annihilation of the entire civilization.

In Xianyang Palace, Wang Ben entered the court and reported to Zulong: "Your Majesty, everything is ready!"

"Okay, my dear ministers, please come with me to take a look." Zulong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered the civil and military officials to go together.

Soon, Zulong brought a group of civil and military officials to the wall of Xianyang's Wengcheng.

I saw that the walls of the city wall were already full of soldiers. It is particularly worth mentioning that there were five crossbows on the wall of the city wall. These crossbows were different from the usual ones. They were about two meters wide, with six crossbow arms crossed in a cross shape, three bowstrings as thick as little fingers, and a wooden box one foot high and one and a half meters long on top.

The crossbow bed's bed frame is supported by a wooden pillar at the balance point, and the connection point is a movable lock.

On the north and south sides of the city wall were wooden cages of various sizes, containing many wild animals.

On the west side were thirty soldiers, holding bronze Mo Dao or old Qin weapons in their hands.

Looking at the hundred soldiers wearing old Qin armor, each of them was a strong man, Zulong frowned and asked Wang Ben: "Now that the Lich King is watching us covetously, every soldier is extremely valuable!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ben knew that Zulong had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "My king, those men in armor are all people in the army who have committed serious crimes and are the target of public outrage. Each of them should be beheaded or torn to pieces as a warning to others, and their families should also be punished."

Zulong nodded. Nowadays, the country is militaristic and every person is very valuable, especially these strong men, so the law has been relaxed a lot, especially the death penalty has been much more lenient, those who can be prisoners will not be killed, and those who can be beheaded or torn apart must have committed a serious crime that everyone wants to kill.

"What crimes have you committed?" Zulong still asked.

"Kidnapping, robbery, bullying women, robbing civilians, deserters, and each of them killed people." Wang Ben said immediately.

Zulong was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Although these people deserve to die, they are all in their prime, and it would be a waste to let them die like this. Tell them that I will spare their families from being implicated. Those who can survive three passes can be spared from death and exiled to the Great Wall, and those who have made meritorious deeds can be exempted from punishment."

"Yes!" Wang Ben immediately accepted the order and shouted to the more than 100 armored soldiers: "Your Majesty, please show mercy and spare your family members from being implicated. Those of you who can survive the three passes today will be spared from death and sent to the Great Wall. Those who have made meritorious contributions will be exempted from punishment."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!" Upon hearing Wang Ben's words, the hundred or so men in armor immediately knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude.

These people were able to commit these crimes, and they were all extremely vicious. Originally, they would all be killed today, but now their families would not be implicated, and they even had a chance to survive and be exempted from punishment, so they were all more determined.

"Let's start!" Zulong said to Wang Ben.

"Yes!" Wang Ben took the order again and immediately shouted to Weng Cheng Neng: "The first game begins!"

Following the order, more than a hundred cages on the north side were opened with ropes by the soldiers on the city wall, and more than a hundred jackals, tigers and leopards were released from the cages.

"Kill!" The thirty armored men in the city wall roared loudly and maintained their formation to kill the beasts that had just been released.

Although there were more than a hundred ferocious beasts, they were also wearing the best old-style armor of the Qin State and holding the best bronze weapons.

~~~
After three quarters of an hour, the battle in the city ended, and only three of the thirty soldiers remained. However, they also killed all the more than one hundred beasts that were released. Among them, the people holding bronze Mo Dao killed the most beasts, and two of the five people wearing bronze armor survived. It can be seen that even though they are made of bronze, the killing power of Mo Dao and the defensiveness of armor are very good.

Seeing the battle was over, Wang Ben immediately shouted, "Second round."

Following Wang Ben's order, the remaining three were taken away.

The inner door of the city gate opened, and thirty soldiers walked in. Unlike the previous armored men, the armor they wore and the weapons in their hands were of the same style as the previous ones, but they were all made of fine steel.

This time, without waiting for Zulong to ask, Wang Ben immediately said, "Your Majesty, these are also guilty persons who deserve to be put to death. We have competed before and found that their fighting power is not much different from the armored prisoners before. Their armor and weapons are all made of fine steel."

"Let's start!" Zulong nodded and said.

"Start!" Wang Ben immediately took the order and shouted loudly to the inside of the city.

More than a hundred wild beasts were released.

~~~
Two quarters of an hour later, the battle in the city ended again. This time, not only did the battle end faster, but half of the people survived. The weapons and armor made of fine steel were even more eye-catching in the battle. Especially the Mo Dao, which was so sharp that it could cut a wild boar in half with one blow.

Zulong couldn't help but get excited when he saw the results of the battle. With fine steel, the combat power of these soldiers has been improved by more than one level!

The other ministers were also extremely excited. If the two armies clashed on the battlefield, those with fine steel weapons and armor would definitely be able to crush the army with old weapons.

"Begin the third round!" Zulong ordered Wang Ben. The fine steel weapons and armor were better than he had imagined, and he didn't know how good the heavy crossbow could be.

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Wang Ben immediately ordered: "Release all the beasts!"

Following Wang Ben's order, the remaining 200-odd cages in the city wall were all opened with ropes.

The next second, more than two hundred wild beasts rushed out of the enclosure.

These wild beasts were already frightened after being captured, and did not kill each other for a while. Instead, they ran around in the city, trying to escape.

"Fire the crossbows!" Wang Ben immediately gave the order upon seeing this.

After receiving the order, the soldiers operating the heavy crossbows immediately began to move. Two strong soldiers stood on both sides of the crossbow, constantly holding the wooden sticks extending from the crossbow bed and pushing and pulling back and forth. One person stood behind the crossbow, holding another pair of sticks extending from the crossbow bed, and operated the crossbow bed to aim at the beast below.

Under the operation of three strong men, the crossbow began to shoot crossbow arrows with a length of one meter and two centimeters in diameter at the beast below at a speed of one arrow every two seconds.

These crossbow arrows were extremely fast and powerful. When shot at the ground of the city wall, they could penetrate half a foot into the ground. They could even penetrate wild beasts directly. For a moment, the wild beasts in the city wall fled in all directions, but they kept falling down.

After the thirty arrows were shot, a soldier immediately lifted up a wooden box containing thirty arrows and installed it. Then the arrows started to flow again.

"color!"

Seeing that this heavy crossbow was so powerful and much more flexible than the old crossbow bed of the Qin Dynasty, Zulong could not help but cheer loudly.

"color!"

Zulong cheered, and all the officials and soldiers on the city wall immediately shouted as well.

Li Si immediately said to Zulong: "My king, now that we have fine steel weapons and armor, as well as such a powerful heavy crossbow, we will be invincible against the undead. We may even be able to shoot and kill the flying bone dragon."
