Liu Zhang in his previous life liked to watch documentaries very much, once he saw a person in a program according to a crossbow handed down by his ancestors to restore a Zhuge repeater, this person's restored crossbow was also collected by a military museum, that episode of the program he watched very carefully, from which he also got the basic production method of the repeater. After the crossing, once Liu Zhang was watching an exercise and found that the single-shot crossbow used by the army was too slow to reload and difficult to suppress the enemy, so he thought of this famous crossbow, which is said to have been invented by Zhuge Liang. Liu Zhang couldn't do it himself, but he told Ma Jun the principle, sketched it, and within a month, Ma Jun made three samples. Liu Zhang personally felt good after the test shot, but with his vision of more than a thousand years, this repeater was not perfect enough. First of all, the high arrow box occupies the position of the "lookout mountain", and it also blocks the shooter's line of sight, so that there is no way to shoot accurately; The second is that the speed of replacing arrows is too slow, and there is a fault in firepower, which is easy to be approached by the enemy, making the repeater useless.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Zhang was inspired by the rifle magazine and changed the arrow magazine from top to bottom, so that he could retain the position of Wangshan and improve his ability to shoot accurately. Of course, the historical repeater arrow box was placed on it, relying on gravity to make the arrows in the arrow box fall one by one, so as to achieve continuous firing, after changing to the bottom, the arrow still sinks, and cannot be sent to the firing position by gravity. But this was not difficult for Liu Zhang, he ordered someone to make some springs, installed on the cover plate of the arrow magazine, just like the magazine, using the tension of the spring to send the arrow from the bottom up to the firing position. As for the slow reloading speed, this is also easy to solve, Liu Zhang made the bottom of the arrow box into a funnel shape, grabbed a handful of arrows and put them into the funnel, and the arrows will quickly and automatically slide into the arrow box, and wait until the arrow box is full, cover the cover, which greatly saves the loading time. Liu Zhang even thought about whether to make a repeater that could replace the arrow box, so that the firepower would be more ferocious, but the arrows that soldiers could carry after using the arrow box would be greatly reduced, and because the cost was too high, Yizhou's finances were also unbearable, so he asked Ma Jun to make a few for research and then gave up equipping the army.

Ma Jun made improvements in accordance with Liu Zhang's opinions, and after the test firing again, both Liu Zhang, strategists, and generals all spoke highly of it, and some even said that it was an epoch-making weapon that changed the way of war, and at the same time expressed admiration for Liu Zhang, who was able to invent such a miraculous weapon. Liu Zhang was secretly happy in his heart, and ordered Ma Jun to manufacture a large number of them to equip the army.

However, the production process of repeating crossbows is relatively complicated, and the production of crossbows is far longer than that of ordinary crossbow arrows in the same period, and the cost is also relatively high, making it difficult to realize the redressing of the whole army. Until Liu Zhang decided to go to Dong Zhuo, Ma Jun and the craftsmen worked overtime, and only 11,000 arrows were produced, but there were plenty of arrows.

Liu Zhang left Zhang Ren with a thousand, and he took the rest to the front line in Hanzhong. This time it was decided to capture Luoyukou, and considering the actual difficulties, Liu Zhang distributed 2,000 to Gao Shun's first brigade, so that although Gao Shun's strength was comparable to Luoyukou, the firepower was several times that of the enemy......

Since guiding Ma Jun to develop the repeater, Liu Zhang realized how important the half-understood military knowledge in his mind was, so he locked himself in the house, forbidding everyone to worry, and spent three days, he thought of the knowledge about the era of cold weapons, even if it was only one sentence, he would write it down in detail, in three days, he wrote tens of thousands of words far higher than the knowledge of weapons, tactics, and science and technology in this era, from the heirloom of military books to unearthed antiquities, and even in film and television works, Everything he could think of was recorded in great detail. Among them, two books in later generations helped him the most, one was "Tiangong Kaiwu" in the Ming Dynasty, and the other was "Wujing General Essentials" in the Song Dynasty. Liu Zhang does not say that he has memorized these two books, but he has an impression of most of the things included in the books, thanks to his grandfather. Liu Zhang's grandfather collected many ancient books, and when he lived with his grandfather as a child, his grandfather often taught him to read these books, which in his grandfather's words are the treasures of the Chinese people's travel, and they should be passed on for eternity. To say that his grandfather's collection of books is at least tens of thousands, why can Liu Zhang remember these two books vividly? It turns out that these two books have a lot of illustrations in them, how much interest can children have in boring books? As a result, this kind of interesting book with many pictures has become Liu Zhang's favorite, and he has read more and written it down. Liu Zhang benefited too much from these two great books, and according to his recollections, many epoch-making things appeared in Yizhou, which also made Yizhou say that it was a comprehensive leader in the military, agriculture, handicrafts, etc., and the repeater was only the tip of the iceberg.

After the hiding was exposed, there was no need to hide, the soldiers, under the command of Xu Qin, quickly and violently cut the latch of the door, and after the city gate was opened, these soldiers turned back to the shield wall, and together with their comrades, stopped the oncoming attack of the enemy army.

Gao Shun saw that the sky was dark, not conducive to fighting, ordered the soldiers to prepare torches, the soldiers got Gao Shun's order, tied up dozens of torches, and then used the strength to eat milk and threw them into the pass, because there was no preparation of tung oil and other combustion-supporting things, these torches were made of cloth cut by the soldiers from under the clothes they were wearing, and the burning time was not long, and most of them were quickly extinguished, but a few were thrown on the buildings in the city, and soon several barracks were ignited. Countless enemy wolves rushed to the front, very embarrassed. The sky-high fire is the signal, the Yizhou army that is still marching knows that the brothers in front of them have fought with the enemy, facing the enemy army ten times their size, they understand that the brothers in front of them urgently need their support, no one commands, the fast running team suddenly sped up the pace again.

Soon, more than 200 enemy troops arrived in a hurry. Gao Shun on the city wall gave the order to shoot until he put the enemy within thirty paces, and then the order was given, and the crossbowmen on the city wall immediately threw waves of dense arrows at the enemy......

Because the receiver was changed to the bottom, this repeater is used much like the pump-action rifle used in later generations, with both sides holding and pulling the lever to complete the loading of the arrow, firing it, and loading the arrow again......

This time, Gao Shun equipped each of the first 500 people with a repeater, and each repeater can put ten crossbow arrows in the arrow box, which means that in an instant, Gao Shun can command his subordinates to shoot 5,000 arrows at the enemy, and the enemy is only in his early 200s, how can he resist under such a dense rain of arrows?

The screams rose one after another, and in the blink of an eye, more than 200 enemies were killed and wounded, most of them were hit by more than two arrows, only a few enemy soldiers were lucky, they were not shot at the vital point, and they survived temporarily, but the fierce rain of arrows had already made them frightened, not to mention fighting with the enemy, they didn't even have the courage to get up and escape. As the elite of Xiliang, they have all been on the battlefield, but they have never encountered such a thing, obviously it seems that the number of enemies is not much, but the firepower shown by the other party can only be described as terrifying, at the beginning they also braved the rain of arrows to rush forward, because they know that the archers have a limited rate of fire, and as long as they pay a small number of casualties in just thirty steps, they can run in a blink of an eye...... But they were wrong, and suddenly they realized that they seemed to be facing an uninterrupted rain of arrows, wave after wave, like an iron wall, and they still couldn't move forward half a step if they smashed their heads......

Seeing that there was no longer an enemy standing, Gao Shun said loudly: "Stop shooting and reload your arrows!" As he spoke, he turned the repeater in his hand upside down, opened the rear trap of the arrow box, and with his backhand grabbed a crossbow arrow from the quiver behind his back and put it into the inverted triangular arrow nest of the arrow box, and the crossbow arrow rolled into the arrow box...... Gao Shun felt very good, he only shot out six arrows in this wave of attacks just now, he just grabbed six arrows with no more and no less, just filled the arrow magazine, he smiled with satisfaction, and after covering the arrow magazine, he flipped the crossbow arrow and aimed at the front......

This wave of fierce arrow rain shocked many enemy troops, so that the seven or eight hundred enemy troops who came later were indifferent to the wailing of their comrades in the blood rain on the corpse mountain, and the expressions on their faces revealed the deep fear in their hearts.

At this time, Ding Qiang led hundreds of soldiers to arrive, and when he saw his people gathered together like headless flies, he couldn't help but be furious knowing that the situation was urgent, and scolded: "Fuck, what are you doing standing stupidly all about?" Quick, rush forward for me......"

Ding Qiang was used to beating and scolding soldiers, and he was very obscene, listening to his words, some people didn't feel that they had taken a step forward, and soon these people found that something was wrong, and seeing that others were not moving, these people immediately retreated very neatly.

Ding Qiang became even more angry, and scolded: "Fuck, hurry up and rush up for Lao Tzu, if there is any retreat, Lao Tzu's military law will not tolerate mercy!" If you lose the pass, Lao Tzu will let you die one by one without a place to hide! ”

An adjutant general who arrived in advance hurriedly said: "General, no! The other party's arrow rain is too fierce, and the brothers can't rush over! ”

Ding Qiang pointed to the head of the person who spoke and scolded sharply: "Okay, you Li Laohei, don't you always shout that you are not afraid of heaven and earth on weekdays?" What's the soft egg now? Lao Tzu now orders you, immediately lead people to rush up, you can't recapture the city wall, Lao Tzu will let you die without a place to hide! ”

The adjutant general, nicknamed Li Laohei, hurriedly said: "General, it's not that the last general is afraid of death, it's really that the enemy's arrow rain is too strange and fierce, and the brothers can't rush over, just now, more than 200 brothers rushed up, but in the blink of an eye, all of them were gone, and none of them could come back......

Ding Qiang looked at the other party by the light of the fire, and couldn't help scolding: "Fuck, there are only five or six hundred people on the other side, how fierce can it be?" Lao Tzu told you that if you kid dare to take the lead in fearing the war and delaying the military plane, Lao Tzu will cut off your head to correct the military law! ”

"General......

Ding Qiang, who didn't want to talk to Li Laohei anymore, categorically interrupted his words and shouted: "The knife and axe hand obeys the order, if Li Laohei disobeys the military order again, he will immediately behead the general to show the public!" "He has seen the situation clearly, the Yizhou army on the opposite side is only five or six hundred, but he has five thousand elites, as long as these people are driven out of the city, no matter how many people Liu Zhang comes, he is sure to hold on for three or five months, as long as he blocks Liu Zhang for three or five months, Xiang Ye knows that he will not be allowed to add officials to himself? Thinking that fame and fortune are in front of him, how can he sit still? Therefore, he didn't listen to Li Laohei's defense at all, and blindly let him attack immediately, and even threatened him with death.

Hearing Ding Qiang's words, the left and right knife axe hands immediately showed their long knives glowing with cold light, and looked at Li Laohei with a rather unkind expression, looking like they would rush up at any time and split the other party's corpse.

Li Laohei had no choice but to turn around and drink like a mourning examiner, ordering the soldiers under his command to prepare to launch a death charge.
