Chapter 18: Prelude to the Raid (Part I)


Illuminated by torches, one of the guards climbed up the tree and removed the parachute.Wei Chigong and those generals all gathered around curiously, squatted down and looked at the parachute."

Isn't this just a piece of cloth" Seeing the true face of the parachute, Wei Chigong was a little disappointed.This is not an ordinary cloth, at least, according to the current textile level of Datang, this kind of cloth cannot be made."

It's called a parachute."

Zhao Yunze said."

The parachute is a fitting name.This is also made by your master with a belly of ghost ideas," Yu Chigong stood up and asked Zhao Yunze.Zhao Yunze nodded.Wei Chigong asked again: "Zhao boy, with such a piece of cloth, it can really guarantee that people will not fall to their deaths if they jump from such a high place" "Didn't you see it all, I was unharmed." ”Zhao Yunze said."

You're hanging on a tree, who knows if you will fall to your death if you fall to the ground," Wei Chigong said unconvinced.Zhao Yunze pursed his lips and decided to give this black pot face a literacy sweep."

Chief, I just jumped down and counted the seconds, from the opening of the umbrella to the time I was hung by the tree, my empty time is nine seconds, according to the average landing speed of five meters per second, the umbrella is open after leaving about forty meters in the air, this height is enough to ensure safety.If the fabric used to make the parachute is lighter, the parachute will be opened for a shorter time, and the skydiver will stay in the air longer, which is relatively safer. ”Zhao Yunze's words made Wei Chi Gongru listen to the book of heaven, but he still nodded and said, "Although I don't understand what you're saying, it sounds quite powerful." ”Zhao Yunze was surprised, the black pot face actually understood "I don't know how to feel" "A certain family just saw it, the fabric you use for parachutes is the same as the steel used for your crossbow, it seems that it is not easy to find."

You can figure out what materials to use to make a parachute?"

Wei Chigong finally asked the idea.Zhao Yunze nodded and said, "I've thought about it, using silk can completely replace the fabric of my parachute."

Moreover, silk is lighter.However, the cost will be very expensive, after all, the material used for the parachute is not thin, and a lot of silk will be used. ”When Wei Chigong heard this, he immediately took off his outer robe, and then took off a sleeveless coat worn inside, handed it to Zhao Yunze and asked, "Is it okay to be so thick" Zhao Yunze took Wei Chigong's small coat, and suddenly a smell of sweat came to his nose."

Boss, it's time for you to take a shower."

Zhao Yunze said with a fan of his nose."

Lao Tzu asked you about fabric," Wei Chigong said with a glare.Zhao Yunze pinched the fabric of the small coat and said, "It's okay to be so thick." ”Wei Chigong said: "Then there is no problem.Although the fabric of this silk coat is scarce, it is not a rare thing, and it is found in the storehouse of the camp. ”Zhao Yunze asked: "Chief, this is the kind of silk armor that can defend against bows and arrows" Wei Chigong nodded and said: "That's right, this is silk armor." ”The reason why Zhao Yunze knew about silk armor was also learned from an instructor when he was studying at a military school.The toughness of silk is very high, and the silk armor spun from silk in ancient times cannot completely prevent the killing of bows and arrows, but it can effectively reduce the penetration of arrows.What's more, after the arrow is blocked by the silk armor, it is not deep into the flesh, and it can be easily taken out.This is also the reason why Zhao Yunze chose silk as a parachute fabric, because of its toughness.Silk armor is expensive to build, and is generally issued to generals or soldiers of important arms, and is worn in armor as a secondary protection."

In these days, there are wars everywhere.Those merchants were the most shrewd, and the silk that was originally used to weave clothes was made into a large number of materials for sewing silk armor.There happened to be a merchant in Jingyang City who hoarded a batch of this material.After we entered Jingyang, Yan Liben's kid personally came to the door, negotiated with the merchant, and finally used only an IOU to pull all the valuable materials into the barracks.But before the craftsmen in the army could sew it into silk armor, they lost their thinking power.This time, I just used that batch of silk to make a parachute. ”After listening to Wei Chigong's words, Zhao Yunze said: "It's easy to have ready-made fabrics."

But we have to ask the craftsmen to hurry up and sew the parachute, and we don't have much time. ”Wei Chigong said: "I ordered them to rush overnight."

has a ready-made appearance, coupled with Yan Liben's supervision, it should be completed at dawn.By the way, how many soldiers do you plan to train for this kind of parachute raid" Zhao Yunze thought for a while and said, "Listen to Brother Baolin, at the bottom of the cliff on one side is the stable of the Turks.I thought that all the soldiers who raided had parachuted from the cliff on that side, and immediately set fire to the Turkic stables after landing on them, and used the startled horses to storm the Turkic camp.The chief manager then arranged for people to attack from the front, and under the internal and external attacks, the Turkic camp would be broken. ”"Tiandan's fire ox plan" Wei Chigong comprehended.Zhao Yunze nodded, and said: "There are not too many soldiers for parachute raids, there are only thirty or fifty people."

However, skydiving is very dangerous after all, and our time is so tight that under the rapid training, it is difficult for the soldiers participating in the parachuting to fully grasp the essentials. ”Wei Chigong thought for a while and said: "That batch of silk materials, the quantity is not much, and this parachute consumes a lot of materials, I estimate that a maximum of one hundred and eighty parachutes can be made." ”Zhao Yunze said: "It's enough, even if you lose half of your manpower by jumping off the cliff, there are still forty or fifty people left, and it's no problem to use them for a raid." ”personally watched Zhao Yunze's tower jumping performance, and agreed on the main matters, and everyone no longer stayed, so they returned to the city together.As soon as he returned to the Qingyunguan Gate, Zhao Yunze suddenly shouted: "The chief manager and stay." ”"What's the matter" Wei Chigong stopped and turned back to ask Zhao Yunze."

I'm reminded of one thing that is most advantageous for raids.The things needed to make this thing may be in this Qingyun Temple. ”Zhao Yunze said."

Then hurry up and enter the view" Wei Chigong waved his hand, and everyone cheered into the Qingyun Temple.The viewer hurriedly arranged a room to receive everyone.After the guest and host sat down, Zhao Yunze asked the viewer straight to the point: "Dare to ask if there is sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal in the view" The host replied: "These three things are essential for alchemy, and there is no shortage in the view." ”"Can the viewer cut his love?"

Zhao Yunze asked again."

The general also alchemy," the viewer asked suspiciously.Zhao Yunze smiled and said, "These three things can not only be used for alchemy, I have other uses. ”Seeing that Zhao Yunze deliberately concealed it, he didn't ask any more, and said directly: "The general is useful, just take it away."

It's just that there are very few people who understand the art of alchemy, and there are not many remnants of these three things. ”"It doesn't matter, I can use as much as I want.If there is a shortage, some should be available in the city. ”"Then please ask the general to arrange a carriage and a horse to come to Guanzhong to move it, a big cart is enough.""

In this case, thank you for your kindness.The army has its own long history, and the adults pay according to the price. ”Zhao Yunze thanked the viewer.Wei Chigong heard Zhao Yunze say the words "pay according to the price", glared at him fiercely, and didn't know what his intentions were
