From the day he took over the Air Force, Zhao Yun knew what he would face in the future.

Lu Bu mentioned that the air force was destined to be surrounded by enemy troops, and Zhao Yun smiled very calmly: "When I entered Anhui City with Chu Hou, I knew what kind of responsibilities the air force would undertake. Now that I have received the military order to lead them, I will take the officers and men of the air force well and become a sharp blade for the Marquis of Chu to conquer the Quartet in the future. ”

"With Zilong here, I'm relieved." Gently patting Zhao Yun on the shoulder, Lu Bu said, "I won't delay you in training the soldiers, so I'll leave first." ”

"I'll send Chu Hou." Zhao Yun kept sending Lu Bu and Pang Tong outside the barracks and watched the two leave.

Leaving the barracks, Pang Tong accompanied Lu Bu.

He asked Lu Bu, "Marquis Chu, is it true that the Air Force has made no achievements in the upcoming war?" ”

"It's impossible to say that they have achieved nothing." Lu Bu said: "It's just not as important as we expected. ”

"Since Chu Hou knew that they couldn't have much to achieve, why did they build an air force barracks?" Pang Tong said puzzledly: "There is a lot of money invested in the construction of this military camp. ”

"Investing money is nothing more than taking advantage of the fact that the two families have not yet crusaded against Xuzhou and training the air force." Lu Bu said: "The Cao and Yuan families jointly crusaded against Xuzhou, and we have no chance of winning at all. If this barracks is not built, when will the air force be trained? Although I don't expect them to achieve anything this time and fight back in the future, I hope that the officers and men of the Air Force will make contributions to me. ”

"Does Chu Hou have any plans to send his family to Jiangdong first?" Pang Tong suddenly asked.

"You think you should send them away now?" Lu Bu asked him in surprise.

"Don't Chu Hou think so?" Pang Tong said: "If the family is not in Xuzhou, the Marquis of Chu can deal with the enemy wholeheartedly, so as not to fall into a crisis again for the sake of his wife." ”

Lu Bu nodded: "What Shiyuan said is right, I will send my family to Jiangdong as soon as possible." ”

He then said to Pang Tong: "Not only my family, but also your family, all of them must be sent to Jiangdong as soon as possible." Only when our families are properly settled can we break through the cauldron and fight the enemy. ”

Pang Tong responded: "Other people's families, I'll arrange them now." It's the Jiangdong people's side, I'm afraid it's not too easy to do. ”

"Why is it difficult to let them return to Jiangdong?" Lu Bu asked in surprise.

"They have only come from Jiangdong not long ago, and they want to turn back, how can they be willing?" Pang Tong replied: "However, it was also a necessary measure for the Marquis of Chu to move them to Xuzhou at the beginning. After all, it was not clear what Sun Bofu and the others were thinking at that time. ”

"Just do the specific things, Shiyuan will do it." Lu Bu instructed: "Find a reliable general to escort you, but don't make any mistakes." ”

"Which general does Chu Hou think is the most reliable?" Pang Tong asked.

"What do you think of Lu Su?" Lu Bu mentioned Lu Su.

"Lu Zijing is kind, and it is safer to ask him to escort his family." Pang Tong did not raise any objections.

"Since Shi Yuan has no objections, you can go and talk to him first, and bring him to see me later." Lu Bu commanded.

Accompanied Lu Bu to go forward for a while, Pang Tong retreated and left, and arranged for Lu Bu to explain the matter.

Back at the residence, Lu Bu went directly to the study.

On the table in the study, there was also a strong crossbow.

Unlike other crossbows, there is a rectangular wooden box where the bowstring is placed.

Ten crossbow bolts were stuck in the box.

It was the repeating crossbow that Lu Bu had been pondering recently.

Before coming to this era, Lu Bu had some simple understanding of the development of crossbow arrows.

He knew that there was a kind of crossbow arrow called Zhuge Crossbow, which could fire arrows one after another.

It's just that in the materials he once read, he didn't respect Zhuge crossbow very much.

First of all, in order to achieve the purpose of firing continuously, Zhuge crossbow sacrificed the strength of the strong crossbow, and the effective lethality was more than half less than that of ordinary crossbow arrows.

Secondly, in order to load more crossbow arrows, the Zhuge crossbow is more than twice as large as the average strong crossbow, and two people are required to cooperate in firing. Although it can be fired in bursts, it consumes an extra amount of manpower, and it is not much more clever than an ordinary strong crossbow.

Precisely because it did not have much advantage on the battlefield, it was eliminated shortly after it was put into service, and not even a single full-fledged sample remained.

Just by reading the literature about Zhuge crossbows, Lu Bu thought of creating a strong crossbow that could fire continuously.

And this kind of strong crossbow must overcome all the drawbacks of the Zhuge crossbow, not only can one person operate it, but the strength must not be much smaller than the ordinary strong crossbow.

From the time he began to ponder, until now, more than ten days have passed, to say the least.

At first, it was simple, but when it was really made, Lu Bu found that there were still many problems he had to overcome.

The first thing he had to deal with was that after a strong crossbow was fired, the second one would immediately get stuck in the launch slot.

The crossbow is stuck in the launch slot, and the arrow must be fired immediately after the spring is pulled.

If you fire one, you have to pull the spring again, and you lose the meaning of the repeating crossbow.

Walking to the table, Lu Bu picked up the half-made repeating crossbow.

The wooden box stuck on the crossbow solves the problem of firing one arrow and the other will fall on the crossbow.

But Lu Bu never thought of what method to use, so that as long as he pulled the spring, he could launch the second arrow.

He had thought of all the ideas of adding bowstrings and so on.

However, every time I think about it, when I actually operate it, it is not what I imagined at all.

No matter what method he used, he couldn't fire the arrows one after the other.

Each time an arrow is fired, the spring must be pulled again.

Counting the reload time, it is no different from a strong crossbow that does not use a wooden quiver.

On the contrary, with a wooden quiver, the speed of the crossbow will be reduced a lot if it is not particularly skilled when loading.

Sitting at the table, Lu Bu looked over and over at the repeating crossbow that he thought would be easy to make, and frowned tightly.

Just as he was pondering how to make a powerful crossbow that could shoot continuously, the door was gently pushed open, and Diao Chan walked in with light steps.

Behind Diao Chan was a maid holding a tray.

On the tray in the maid's hand, there was a small bowl.

Coming to Lu Bu, Diao Chan said: "My husband has worked hard all day, I just ordered the guy to boil a bowl of soup, and I asked my husband to drink it while it was hot." ”

The maid placed the bowl of soup on the table.

Lu Bu looked up at Diao Chan: "Madam is so virtuous, but it makes me feel deserved." ”

"If it weren't for the husband, the concubine would have been killed for a long time." Diao Chan smiled slightly and said to Lu Bu: "I can't do anything for my husband, I can only take care of my husband more in my daily life." ”
