Chapter 146 Reward the crossbow master for no success

……………………………………

finally sent Liu Xie, Liu Jiao and Wen Hui, Liu Hanshao didn't have time to rest, and he had to take people to see the crossbow master drill. Now everyone thinks that Cao Xing is rewarded for nothing, if this problem is not solved well, I am afraid that it will affect the internal unity of the Han Zheng Army, in addition, Cao Xing has also been busy for so long, it is time to test and test.

With the main book and walking, as well as a cadre of military generals in Beijing, and even Lu Zhi, Gao Shun and Sha Mei'er shouted over, Liu Hanshao and his party went to the crossbow division in a mighty way.

Cao Xing is the protagonist today, waiting at the door with his subordinates early, and then acting as a commentator, following the left and right to greet the bosses. Although Cao Xing himself is good at archery, the crossbow master is equipped with more crossbow arrows.

When the crossbow is wound, the crossbowman must sit on the ground, step on the crossbow with his feet bent and his waist hook on the crossbow, and then push his legs straight while leaning back, looking a bit like a kayaker. Therefore, its firing step should be to step on the crossbow burden; Waist hook; Kick the leg and wind it, load the crossbow arrow, and shoot it back or flat.

The arm-stretched crossbow only needs to stand with the crossbowman, step on the pedals in front of the crossbow machine with one foot, pull the wind with both arms, and load the crossbow arrows to fire. Therefore, the waist tension crossbow is powerful, but the firing gap is also large, and the arm tension crossbow is relatively small, but the firing gap is also small.

This time, Cao Xing practiced the crossbow array for everyone, that is, the waist crossbow was in the middle, and the arm crossbow was on both sides. The waist crossbowman does not get up at all, loads the crossbow arrow and sits directly on the ground to shoot on the back, and then continues to open the crossbow to load the next arrow, while the arm crossbowman takes three rows of round shooting, the crossbow, the arrow, and the launch, so that it can strike continuously and fire uninterruptedly, but there is a difference in power, the arm crossbow fires four rounds, and the waist crossbow is only fired once.

Ten thousand arrows are fired at once, and the effect is of course good-looking, but on the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, and how much power can really be exerted and how much effect can be received depends on the specific situation. So although everyone appreciated it, they were not surprised, only Wu Kuang sighed that if he had so many crossbow arrows when he was fighting in the water, maybe it would not be so miserable.

Bows and arrows are faster than crossbow arrows, but the distance of dozens of paces can be instantaneous, and it is not their turn to shoot a few more arrows, so there are many fewer archers than crossbowmen, but there are some talented ones who are trained as archers, and later go into battle to find opportunities to shoot enemy generals.

Lu Bu is also a master of archery, so he naturally looks down on the archers trained by Cao Xing, but he found that the arrows used by these archers are strange, triangular, and in order to reduce the weight of the arrow part, there are also shallow blood grooves.

Cao Xing said with a smile: "General Lu, this is called an armor-piercing cone, which can not only break through iron armor, but also penetrate extremely deep into the flesh. If the arrow is not pulled, there will be a blood groove to bleed, and if the arrow is pulled, there will be a three-edged barb with a large piece of flesh. ”

"Xiaobu, come with an arrow, try the means."

Cao Xing heard Liu Hanshao say this, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, the general will know the beauty of it." ”

Although Cao Xing is now the division commander, he doesn't dare to call Lu Bu the brigade commander, for fear that Lu Bu will listen to it.

Lu Bu took a bow, weighed it, and then opened his bow and shot at the opposite target. Eighty steps away, he actually passed through the target, and others applauded, but Lu Bu himself was stunned, he didn't expect the power of this kind of arrow to be so great.

Lu Bu pointed to the armor-piercing cone and said in a panic: "Uncle, this thing, I want it, I want it!" ”

Everyone listened to the black line in their brains, and they were also the ones who were brigade commanders, and they shouted so much in broad daylight that you wanted what you wanted, is it really good?

Lu Bucai didn't care what others thought, he got two bags of armor-piercing cones from Cao Xing, and happily carried them on his back, but in the next drill, even Lu Bu was shocked.

Bed crossbow and car crossbow.

…………

In fact, there were bed crossbows as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and they were used until the appearance of firearms, and then they were slowly replaced, but Cao Xing's bed crossbow was added with black technology. First of all, the winch shaft is thick, and the towing rope can be wound up with two turns; Secondly, the iron winch, with an extended sleeve rod, uses the lever principle to put the sleeve rod on the winch, and press it down one at a time, which is both labor-saving and fast. To do this, it is necessary to make the winch only pass forward, not reversed, so there are gears on the winch and deadbolts on the gears. When it is spinning, the gear pushes the deadbolt and makes a clicking sound, and when it is reversed, the deadbolt must be lifted first.

A deputy squad leader with five soldiers, a soldier standing on the side of the bed crossbow, responsible for hooking, hooking, loading arrows, the remaining four people, two on the left and right, two people in front of the two with the sleeve rod inserted on the winch, and then with the two behind the force, the sleeve rod is pressed down, so that the bow string can be loaded after pressing several times, and then the deputy squad leader hits the trigger with a mallet and fires the crossbow arrow.

The bed crossbow, which originally required a dozen or even dozens of people to control, can now be handled by only six people, and the more tacit cooperation there is, the faster the firing speed.

The car crossbow is the same as the bed crossbow, but it is one size smaller, and three people can easily control it, but the car is four wheels, the diameter of the two universal wheels in front is one foot, and the diameter of the two connecting wheels in the rear is more than two feet, which is equal to the height of the car plate more than one foot from the ground. Anyway, this kind of car is equipped for the crossbow machine, there is no load problem, and the universal wheels in front are enough. The key is to pull flexibly and use it steadily. There is also a base that can be rotated between the crossbow machine and the car, so that the crossbow machine can change direction and adjust the angle.

Again, ten thousand arrows were fired, but they were like javelins, destroying a small wooden house that had been targeted. If you are directly pierced by this thing, you can even shoot a horse through it.

The generals were dumbfounded, some gasped, some swallowed saliva, and Liu Hanshao asked triumphantly: "Brothers, do you want Commander Cao to give you a round of fire support during the war?" ”

Everyone immediately slapped their ass, wishing that Liu Hanshao could let them divide Cao Xing now, and Xu Huang said with great regret: "Commander Cao's troops can attack and defend the city, but they can't pursue it." ”

Lu Bu said disdainfully: "The pursuit is naturally the business of our cavalry, if they are allowed to do all the work, what else do you want us to do?" ”

Lu Bu was stunned and straight, he started practicing without saying a word, and he was still Liu Hanshao's second brother-in-law, so his words attracted a chorus of echoes, and even Zhao Yun, who had always looked at him not very pleasing to the eye, also stood on his side, who made Zhao Yun also the commander of the cavalry brigade.

People spoke softly, Xu Huang was silent, but Liu Hanshao said two words for him.

"These weapons are not made to quell a small rebellion or fight a few small yellow scarves. The biggest enemies of our Han are always those who ride donkeys in the north, and they always have to think of a way to catch up with them, so Gongming is pointing out something and thinking long-term. ”

Little rebel?

Little yellow scarf?

No one thinks that Liu Hanshao is bragging, but thinks that the little emperor has great ambitions.

Xu Huang said gratefully: "Commander Xie is considerate. ”

Liu Hanshao nodded in response, and then said: "So, my brothers, we have to think in one place and work hard in one place, if the big man is bullied, the first to lose face is us soldiers!" ”

Dian Wei has been following Liu Hanshao for a long time, and his head has already been washed and it is not his own, and when he heard Liu Hanshao say this, he immediately roared angrily: "Who dares to bully our big man, see if I don't kill him!" ”

The crowd shouted and cursed as if there was an enemy waiting for them to slaughter. Xi Zhicai's head is black, Your Majesty is really going to fool around when he has a chance, didn't he come to correct Cao Xing's name, why did he seem to say that he was going to fight?

However, before he deviated, Liu Hanshao came back again.

"Besides, now you don't think my brother is biased towards Master Cao, right? There are specializations in technology, and each has its own strengths. In the future, when you fight with the enemy, with the help of Master Cao, you should know how cute he is. ”

Is cuteness also a word for complimenting old men?

Although Liu Hanshao said nondescript, Cao Xing listened to it, his eyebrows fluttered, he changed his humble appearance in the past, dragged it like 2580,000, pointed to a cadre of generals and said: "You guys, when you think of me well, don't always chirp behind my back and say strange things about me." ”

Lu Bu was unconvinced again, and said arrogantly: "What's the matter? Do you want me to salute Master Cao? Or, just knock one? ”

Cao Xing, who was a little arrogant just now, immediately coaxed again, and said repeatedly: "Don't, don't, general, don't laugh with me." ”

"Humph!"

As for Lu Bushun and Cao Xing's two bags of armor-piercing cones, he seemed to be the most angry, how can this be reasonable?

…………

Liu Xie successfully won the "Lao Huang Defense War", and received Liu Hanshao's absolute support to become a primary school student in Beibi School. Now the Beibi School has already moved out of the Beibi Mountain, and the new school site is in the mansion of Han Kui, one of the ten permanent servants, and I don't know if the godson Han Xu, who was going to fight with Liu Hanshao, is dead, anyway, the gang of "Mu You Xiao Ding Ding" is dead, and the mansions left behind are more luxurious and huge than the other, no need to use them in vain, what a waste of emptiness.

It's just that today's Beibi School has been changed to Beibi Primary School, in addition to continuing to collect orphans, it also recruits the children of the people of Luoyang, and the huge number is about to run away. Liu Hanshao is thinking about whether he should get a few more schools when he goes back, so that the little children of the people's families can go to school nearby. It is also necessary to open welfare homes for orphans, so that they can be managed separately from the schools.

Every morning, under the protection of Yanyun guards, Liu Xie took a carriage and went to school along Kaiyang Street, and when he passed by Shihou Mansion, he picked up Snoopy by the way, so Snoopy is now Liu Xie's real eldest brother.

Liu Hanshao asked Liu Xie if he was cheated by Snoopy, so he got a dog who always loses in fights. Liu Xie said that Snoopy's dog is fierce and ugly, he doesn't like it, Lao Huang is well-behaved and obedient, even if he can't win, he likes it.

Okay Lao Huang, in this case, your local dog should be the most noble dog in the Han Dynasty, and when others talk about your bloodline and origin, they must also respect: the Han Pastoral Dog!
