Chapter 109: It's all Jiang Xiaobai's problem!
During the banquet, Cheng Yuanzhi took out the crossbow arrow from behind him and put it on the table in front of him, Guan Yu, who was sitting next to him, was instantly attracted by this small and delicate crossbow arrow.
When he raided the enemy army lurking in the mountain range earlier, Guan Yu had seen the power of this crossbow arrow with his own eyes, and the vanguard troops under Cheng Yuanzhi at that time had a crossbow arrow in their hands and fired it out in unison, dense as a tide sweeping, terrifying.
Sensing Guan Yu's burning eyes and staring closely at the crossbow bolts in front of Cheng Yuanzhi, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but feel funny.
"Yun Chang, don't just look at it, touch it with your hands, you can only feel its beauty if you have zero distance and deep contact."
After Jiang Xiaobai's reminder, Cheng Yuanzhi handed the crossbow arrow in front of him to Guan Yu, Guan Yu wanted to be more reserved, but he really couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and after taking the crossbow arrow, he turned over and over to observe.
"Crossbow arrows have existed since ancient times, but this is the lord's own improved crossbow arrows, not only more compact, the power has increased several times, and the arrows in the sword box, from the original three arrows expanded to eight, even the range is more than ten zhang on the basis of more than ten zhang, increased to nearly 100 zhang, it is incredible, now our army is equipped with this crossbow arrows, a total of more than 1,000 people." In the words, Cheng Yuanzhi sincerely admired Jiang Xiaobai.
"The range of crossbow arrows, how can it reach a hundred zhang away!"
Guan Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this, he knew a little bit about crossbow arrows, crossbow arrows are easier to carry than bows and arrows, and their explosive power is stronger than bows and arrows, and they can be fired continuously, but their fatal disadvantage is that the range is too short.
Crossbow arrows have appeared in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and after the improvement of the Warring States period, whether it is the material of the crossbow machine or the internal structure of the crossbow machine, it has long been perfected to the extent that it is difficult to change.
However, no matter how much it is improved, it is difficult to improve the range of crossbow arrows.
I never thought that the problem that had plagued many skilled craftsmen for hundreds of years was solved by Jiang Xiaobai.
Seeing Guan Yu stroking the improved crossbow arrow, as if he was stroking his lover on the pillow, with a strong love in his eyes, Jiang Xiaobai smiled mysteriously.
The idea of improving the crossbow arrow is Jiang Xiaobai's right, but the actual credit is due to Jiang Xiaohua.
According to the drawings drawn by Jiang Xiaobai, Jiang Xiaohua used her ability to make several important components of the crossbow machine, which were common in later generations, but it was difficult to make them in this era.
There are many talents in China, and crossbow arrows have appeared for hundreds of years, and there must have been a rare casting master who has similar ideas to Jiang Xiaobai, but due to the immaturity of the industry, it is really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
Compared with Jiang Xiaobai, those seniors have a good sister.
"Big brother, I'm really convinced of you!"
After pondering the crossbow arrow for a long time, Guan Yu suddenly knocked on one knee to Jiang Xiaobai, and he looked at Jiang Xiaobai with feverish eyes, and he had completely turned into a big fan brother.
Guan Yu was surprised to find that Jiang Xiaobai was like a bottomless pit, the longer he came into contact with it, the more he felt that Jiang Xiaobai was unfathomable, his wisdom was like a demon, and his means were endless, and he was a well-deserved master.
Such a master is exactly what Guan Yu is looking for.
"Yun Chang hurry up, they are all his own brothers, but you are too outsider."
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and helped Guan Yu up, and at this time, he could be regarded as the kind who completely took Guan Yu under his command and went to the soup to fight the fire, and his liver and brain were smeared.
Different from the hustle and bustle in Jiang Xiaobai's tent, Dong Zhuo's tent at this time was clean and calm, and Dong Zhuo's subordinates were all silent.
As far as the eye could see, there were more than a dozen people in the tent, but no one spoke, and the air was quietly pin dropping, and the invisible pressure made the generals almost out of breath.
"Ahem... Ahem......"
Li Dao and Guo Yan coughed dryly, they were Dong Zhuo's henchmen, they glanced at each other, and finally Li Dao looked at Dong Zhuo in the first place with a smile.
"General, our army was ambushed by the rebels in the valley, and more than half of the casualties were killed, and I was deeply heartbroken and indignant, speaking of which, all of this was caused by Jiang Xiaobai!"
"That's right, Jiang Xiaobai knew that the enemy army would ambush again, but he refused to tell us, this son is extremely selfish, I think he is obviously deliberate, and wants to take this opportunity to damage the people and horses brought out by the general from Bingzhou!"
"One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, only the general can compete with him Jiang Xiaobai in the whole army, the general's men and horses have been sharply reduced, and he Jiang Xiaobai will be the only one in the future, although this son is young, the scheming city is so deep, it is very hateful."
Listening to Li Dao and Guo Yan's words, Dong Zhuo, who had a gloomy face, became more and more angry with Jiang Xiaobai in his heart, and Li Dao and Guo Yan's words were not unreasonable.
It is clear that Jiang Xiaobai is young and worried that he will steal the limelight, so he will arrange the army under his command to be the vanguard, using the bank of the Malian River as bait to attract the attention of Han Suijun.
Ambushed in the valley behind, Dong Zhuo carefully recalled the scene when he went to find Jiang Xiaobai, Jiang Xiaobai knew that he could not pursue at that time, but he refused to persuade him, and let himself lead the army to pursue rashly.
"Even if I insist on pursuing, you Jiang Xiaobai can't stop me, it's okay to tie me up, but you didn't do anything!"
The more angry Dong Zhuo thought about it, and the more he listened to Li Dao and Guo Yan's words, the more he felt that Jiang Xiaobai did all this deliberately.
"I went to pursue the enemy army, and I was ambushed by the enemy, but he led the army to destroy the main force of the enemy army, which is clearly a sound attack on the west, and once again used me as bait, this son is too cunning!"
Dong Zhuo looked around at the generals and said in a deep voice: "You all talk about it, what should I do next?" ”
"General, Your Majesty made it very clear in the holy decree that the Liangzhou Counterinsurgency Army is mainly based on Huangfu Song, although Jiang Xiaobai said that he came to replace Huangfu Song, he made his own initiative and did not get His Majesty's approval, it stands to reason that you don't need to listen to his assignment."
"Yes, from now on, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and see how he Jiang Xiaobai can defeat the rebels led by Bian Zhang and Han Sui with his own strength!"
Li Dao and Guo Yan said one after another: "He Jiang Xiaobai despised us and others, but he didn't know that the battle of Malian River was a victory won by our army as bait, and the same was true of the subsequent battle of the mountains outside the quail city. ”
"I agree with Guo Yan's words, although the troops under Han Sui's command have suffered heavy losses, their strength is still not to be underestimated, as far as I know, Han Sui and the Yellow Turban Thief have unpredictable heavenly and human skills, and it is not easy to deal with him."
"Jiang Xiaobai is young and vigorous, he will definitely get carried away after just two victories, as long as he underestimates the enemy, he will definitely suffer, and when he and Han Sui fight to the death, at that time, the general, you will reap the benefits of the fisherman, isn't it beautiful."
"It's a brilliant plan." Dong Zhuo said with a smile.
