The best way for a person to be able to follow his own train of thought is to seduce him with that person's favorite thing, and for Erlang, Lu Shi used the manufacture of ordnance to lure him.

According to Lu Shi's excavation in the jar, the continuously fired crossbows can be divided into two categories. The first type is to put two or three bows on the crossbow bed, and in time of war, the bow can be used to open the bow and buckle the arrows in advance using a rocking rope shaft, usually fired by a professional archer. Although there is a sequential sequence in the launch, this is not a "continuous launch" in the strict sense. The Zhuge crossbow on the warship of the Ming Dynasty was a continuous burst of loading.

In fact, it is impossible for such a bed crossbow to fire ten or fifty arrows at the same time. It is not uncommon for the arrow to be fired at the target, and it is not uncommon for ten or fifty enemies to attack in a row. Ten or fifty arrows at the same time will be a great waste! Second, after firing ten or fifty arrows at the same time, that is, after the power of a crossbow machine is divided into ten or fifty parts, how far can its range be? What else is there to be lethal? Thirdly, this kind of bulky crossbow bed was difficult to carry, and it was not suitable for the geographical conditions of the southern and northern expeditions. Fourth, the arrows used in this crossbow are more than three feet long, which is more wasteful and unsuitable for individual combat.

In ancient times, a good archer took three years of training to become a good archer, and Lu Shi picked up Orions to form an army, but after the team grew in the future, there would be no such advantage to take advantage of, but it was different, a crossbowman could actually be fully qualified in a few months, which was the original intention of Lu Shi to meditate on the crossbow.

Originally, Zhuge Liang had the invention of the single-soldier crossbow, but that was just a legend, and now there is no physical proof at all, but Lu Shi knew that there was really a kind of crossbow suitable for individual soldiers on the military literature and the endless links that were secretly sold, so he carefully recalled it behind his back, and constantly improved and scrutinized, so that he really came up with the prototype of the repeater, but there were many details that he really couldn't remember. Of course Wang Xiao knew about this.

In addition to the details are not mature, the current repeater can not really be built, because the first kind of light repeater crossbow arm material is not yet, the necessary good elastic steel, with the craftsman day and night to drum out of the small blast furnace out of the steel, can not be used at all, this will have to wait until the future to Weinan, after laying the base and then develop steel, a large number of builds.

This Erlang is not only born in a family of craftsmen, but also Zhang Laoshi is specialized in making bows and arrows for the imperial court, Erlang should also have an understanding of his crossbow machine, and at the same time Erlang is small but his head is lively, and he is not bound by a fixed pattern, which is an excellent age for divergent thinking, at this time, I want to hand over these drawings to him, let him slowly ponder, improve and perfect his crossbow, once he creates a large number of crossbows to equip the army in the future, it is equivalent to equipping his army with ancient machine guns, And the machine gun is the best choice for dealing with cavalry, and at that time, it will be much easier to deal with the wild boar skin to Emperor Taiji Dolgon in the future.

As soon as he heard that there was a repeating crossbow, Erlang's eyes immediately lit up, and he didn't care about eating, so he asked excitedly: "Master, can I see the repeating crossbow?" ”

"Yes, not only can you see it, but you also have to find out what the master didn't do well in the meantime and improve it, and finally we will build a large number of them, and when the time comes, how about naming this crossbow arrow after you?" Lu Shi kept fooling Erlang.

As soon as I heard that the master had a new object invented, and he had to name it after himself, the craftsman's exploration of new things in his bones was deeply excavated by Lu Shi, Erlang jumped eight feet high, and pestered Lu Shi to take him to see the drawings, as for the mother's request, it was also possible to ask the master to be flexible.

Seeing that he and Xiaoya Wang Xiao were left in the house, Lu Shi dared to relax again, that is, there are a few people by your side all day long, majestic is majestic, but there is no freedom and ** is not?

Seeing that the brothers had run away, no one always said that they didn't know the rules, and the good meat on the table was her own, and the little girl also cheered at the time, and ate happily.

Lu Shi looked at Xiaoya eating lovingly, and then looked at Wang Xiao's triumphant smile, "It seems that none of you have ever studied, so I will teach you a few words in my spare time." Lu Shi said casually while teasing Xiaoya.

"Is the military advisor serious?" That Wang Xiao asked with a look of shock and disbelief.

"I'm still a military advisor, can't I find you happy for no reason? What else can't be taken seriously. Lu Shi said with a smile.

When Wang Xiaoyi heard how high he jumped, he dropped the rice bowl in his hand and shouted: "Sir, you eat, I'll go home to find my mother, we can study." In the blink of an eye, he ran away without a trace, leaving Lu Shi, who had not finished eating, inexplicable.

"What's the matter, isn't it just to teach you a few words? As for all the fuss? ”

After eating, let San'er help take the little girl, clean up the dishes and chopsticks by herself, and quickly spread out the paper and pen on the dining table, and began to record and plan the things on the cottage.

Everything in the cottage is a start-up, everything has no foundation, but the counterattack of the officers and soldiers is not far away, and the great migration is just around the corner, if you don't seize this rare time to train the soldiers who have begun to take shape, the tens of thousands of people in the big migration drag their families with their mouths, not to mention hitting Weinan, it is an unknown number to go to Weinan safely, and time waits for no one.

was busy, and the loud voice of Guo Tianxing sounded outside the door: "Is Mr. there?" When he said this, he didn't wait for Lu Shi to speak, and Guo Tianxing directly pushed the door in.

Lu Shi didn't get up, so he pointed to the kang beside him and said: "The general leader sits down, I will finish writing at one point, soon." So he bowed his head and hurriedly finished the plan in his hand.

Guo Tianxing saw that Lu Shi had just returned to the cave to rest, but he didn't want Lu Shi to bury himself in office now, and he was moved in his heart, having such a tireless gentleman working for everyone, this is really a blessing from the cottage.

Without waiting for Lu Shi to finish writing, he said loudly: "I came to Mr. to ask when the saber invented by Mr. will be able to equip the whole army." ”

Seeing that Lu Shi was still busy and didn't look up, he whispered: "If the saber is not built in time, then Mr. must arrange for our Black Tiger Guard to equip it first, this is a must." ”

Lu Shi smiled bitterly, but said without raising his head: "According to my assignment, Zhao Dahai's cavalry is the main force of the future assault of the cottage, and will be the vanguard of our southward migration and the vanguard of breaking a bloody road for us, not to mention that their brothers are carefully selected from the tens of thousands of people in the cottage, and they are higher than your personal skills and tactics of the Black Tiger Guard, who has just changed from the infantry army to the horse army, so we must use good steel on the blade, and we should give priority to equipping Zhao Dahai's brother." ”

It's not that Lu Shi was angry with Guo Tianxing, what he said was also arranged according to reason, Guo Tianxing was speechless, but he still didn't give up, so he protested again: "But I'm the Grand Commander, this should be considered." ”

Lu Shi laughed, dried the last piece of paper in front of his mouth, and then said with a smile while tidying up: "It's rare, it's rare, you still know that you are the Grand Commander, so let me ask you, what should the Great Commander do?" What have you done now? ”

Guo Tianxing was choked for a while, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he said again after a long time: "My commander is the decision of the big thing, and the rest is the matter of the military division." ”

Lu Shi stood up, moved the numb legs and feet that sat down, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't do your job." Then he said: "The commander is in charge of the overall situation, not a cavalryman, and the military division is only a staff officer rather than a decision-maker, now you see, what are you?" What am I? ”

Saying this, Guo Tianxing played the scoundrel again, turned his body to the kang, stretched his waist and said: "The great commander is actually who should be the one, I will give you two choices, either you spare me and let me be the captain of the Black Tiger Guard cavalry, and lead thousands of troops to fight in battle, or you don't expect me to do anything, I am the commander, I can do whatever I want, I don't believe it, what do you dare to do with me?" I've got the final say on this matter, as soon as the saber comes out, I will give priority to equipping the Black Tiger Guard. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Shi was speechless at the time, the first one, he couldn't agree no matter what, not to mention that he didn't have that ambition in the first place, and it was impossible to choose individual people.

Now the cottage actually has three forces, one is the old man of the cottage headed by Guo Tianxing, one is himself and Zhao Dahai and Zhao Xing, who admit it or not, and the other is Geng Kui and Chen Ce, Wang Xin, Jiang Liang's latecomers, they are also in the same line, if you really want to pass the sky star and not do this great leader, the cottage will immediately fall apart, causing irreparable major harm.

But according to the logic, the second article of Guo Tianxing is really right, he just said that the military division is just to help the commander pick up the missing and fill the gaps, and in terms of decision-making, it is Guo Tianxing, the shameless commander, who has the final say, and now the commander has said that the saber is given priority to equip the Black Tiger Guard, so he still has to implement it.

So Lu Shi had to patiently explain: "You are the commander, as the distribution of cottage materials, you should lead by example, others before yourself, and besides, I just said, Zhao Dahai is the main force of our cottage cavalry, and it must be strengthened with all our might, this thing can only be like this." ”

Seeing that Tianxing was indifferent, Lu Shi had no choice but to say patiently again: "There is also our supervisor sergeant, whose main task is to do long-distance patrol and destroy the enemy's exploration horses when we go out on the expedition, so that we can understand the enemy's movements, and make the enemy blind and deaf, this is our magic weapon to win, so even if we create a sabre, we must equip them, and the refined iron captured by our cottage last time is too little, and only half of a pound of refined steel can be drilled again, and it is even less, and the three thousand guns of the old eighth team are already tightly packed, In addition, the logistics baggage is heavy and the two thousand wounded brothers must also be equipped with guns, and if they take out seven or eight hundred sabers, the iron material will not be satisfied at all. ”

Lu Shi's analysis was the first to say, and Guo Tianxing had to sit up straight and listen carefully.

"The Great Commander has a long-term plan for the cottage, so it's better to be patient."

Guo Tianxing is not a Hun person, but a responsible person, or he would not have let Xian a few times, and when Lu Shi said this, he scratched his head and nodded: "Sir's analysis is that this saber still has to be allowed to come first, especially the prison sergeant of the Geng Kui brothers." ”

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and the two couldn't help but be shocked, something had happened
