Chapter 272: Liu Bei's countermeasures

"What? You actually developed artillery? ”

When Liu Bei heard the news, his eyes lit up.

If only the artillery had been developed...

At least be qualified to fight against Cao Cao!

Taking 10,000 steps back, artillery can at least play a defensive role, and it can play a vital role on the battlefield!

"Hahaha, the artillery is still being tested, but in addition to this, I have now developed a new type of weapon!"

Zhuge Liang continued: "Compared to this weapon, the artillery is actually not powerful at all! ”

"What?"

Hearing this, everyone was also shocked.

The power of artillery ... It's like the gods descending from heaven!

But Zhuge Liang actually said that the new weapon is more powerful than artillery?

"What is it, military advisor, can you let us see it now?"

Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang with a happy face.

"Good!"

Subsequently, Zhuge Liang led a group of people to the courtyard of his mansion.

There was a target in the center, and there was a bunch of arrows on the table without arrows.

"What did the military advisor do..."

Liu Beizheng looked confused, but at this moment he heard Zhuge Liang's voice behind him:

"Here, I'll show you my new weapon!"

Immediately, Zhuge Liang took out something like a bow and crossbow from the house, but it looked a little different.

Above the bow and arrow, there was also a huge box with a crosshair and something like that.

"What is this?"

Everyone asked curiously.

Zhuge Liang smiled, walked to the table unhurriedly and put the arrow in the box:

"It's called a repeater, and it's my newly invented weapon."

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang picked up the repeater and walked to a position fifty steps away from the target to aim...

"Kakaka!"

Zhuge Liang pulled the trigger suddenly, and at the same time, sharp arrows shot out in front of the crossbow.

Looking at it from a distance, the power of the stray arrow is not very high, but the rate of fire is very fast, even reaching the point of three arrows in a second!

In an instant, all the arrows in the box were shot, and after a little counting, it was estimated that there were about fifty!

"This..."

When everyone saw this scene, their eyes widened in surprise.

This speed is really much faster than the average repeater, and the power seems to be okay!

"Military, your repeater has an amazing rate of fire, but looking... It doesn't seem to be very accurate! ”

At this time, Liu Bei walked to Zhuge Liang's side and said.

Although the advantages of this repeater are obvious, there are also disadvantages.

For long-range weapons, firing range, power, and accuracy are all indispensable.

"Haha!"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, put down his repeater and said:

"That's true, but the world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable! You must know that when Li Ling repelled the Huns, he relied on a repeater! ”

"And after I made improvements, the repeater is very lightweight, and it is like a tiger with cavalry!"

"Imagine for a moment, if a thousand cavalrymen hold this repeater at the same time, as long as they rush into the crowd, it will be like a tiger with wings, even the gods can easily shoot it!"

...

Liu Bei thought for a while... It seems to make sense!

And if it is put on the defensive side, no matter how many enemies rush over, this crossbow is shot densely, and it really does not leak.

As for accuracy...

At that point, it doesn't matter at all.

As long as there are enough enemies, any accuracy is a matter of story!

"What we have to do now is to make a lot of arrows, store them and be done!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and touched his beard:

"When Cao Cao comes over, he will definitely have to open the way with artillery, but we can build some bunkers, such as... Their cement! And the shells of the artillery have a long delay, and then it will also be an opportunity for us to counterattack! ”

"Strategist, you are really a god!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed after hearing this.

Although Zhuge Liang did not find a way to delay the migration of the masses.

But now it seems that at least it can hold a city like Jingzhou.

And there are also Sun Quan and Liu Bei who are fighting together, as long as they rely on the crossbow to defend it, it is not a problem to counterattack.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang said that he is still studying artillery!

"This wave, I, Liu Bei, will definitely hold it!"

Liu Bei's mood suddenly eased a lot.

At this time, Liu Bei was testing the repeater on his side, and Cao Shuo got the freshly baked earthen gun.

Boom!

The earthen gun made an explosion-like sound, and at the same time, the target in front of Cao Shuo fell to the ground.

"Alright, this dirt gun test is complete!"

Cao Shuo smiled, looking at the black smoke of the earthen gun in front of him, and he was also very happy.

This was the first musket designed in Cao Shuo's engineering institute.

Although it is said that all the guns are filled with iron sand, they can only kill people at about 80 paces, and the reload is still very slow...

But this is a good sign, which means that the metal smelted in the engineering institute can withstand the temperature of **.

The drawings of the earthen gun were designed by Cao Shuo himself, and Cao Shuo wanted to create a gun very early, but it never came to fruition.

What do you need to build a gun? First of all, metal!

Metal requires smelting technology, and if the metal is not up to par, it will be directly exploded.

But now, metallurgical technology has improved, and it can easily withstand the pressure of the best.

In addition to the smelting process, there is also drilling technology.

The purpose of drilling technology is to sharpen the metal more finely, further improving accuracy and security.

But in this era, there was no drilling process at all, so Cao Shuo had to study step by step according to the books in the system warehouse, and it was only recently that the first batch of workers was trained.

For so many reasons, Cao Shuo's plan to build guns was endlessly postponed.

"When can you make *** with a scope, you can really conquer the world!"

Looking at the earthen gun in his hand, Cao Shuo thought happily in his heart.

Now, Cao Shuo is still in further research, and the workers in the engineering institute have been constantly improving their skills.

In a year at most, the guns will definitely be ready for battle.

And Cao Shuo is actually not in a hurry to conquer the world now, so he has been developing with peace of mind and improving the foundation of heavy industry.

"The engineering institute has done a good job this time, I hope you can continue to improve the accuracy and ensure that you can kill a person stably within eighty steps!"

Cao Shuo continued to say to the craftsman: "There is also security, to ensure that our soldiers will not be harmed by the explosion!" ”

"Yes!"

The craftsman happily replied to Cao Shuo.

At this time, he was actually very excited.

Under the leadership of Cao Shuo, they have also been challenging themselves, and now they have made such a magical thing.

If you really put it into the battlefield, it is really much more powerful than a bow and arrow!

In addition, this is only the first drawing given to them by Cao Shuo, and there are many more magical things waiting for them to discover!

"Master Cao Shuo, I will definitely continue to work hard!"

The craftsman ran out with a shout of joy.
