It can be said that all kinds of knowledge and memory in Zhu Wei's brain can also be regarded as another powerful golden finger of Zhu Wei, and many times Zhu Wei only needs to put forward an idea, which can enable the craftsmen of this era to create cross-era advanced weapons.

This kind of bed ballista was developed by Zhu Wei by drawing on the structure of the strong crossbow and the idea of the bed crossbow of the Northern Song Dynasty in later generations, and put forward a general requirement for carpenters, blacksmiths and other craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop.

After the bed ballista was developed, Zhu Wei actually had a lot of ideas on the crossbow arrows used in the bed ballista, and conceived a crossbow arrow with more effects, which could make the bed ballista more effective.

For example, adding some fire oil to the back half of the crossbow bolt with black powder can ignite the fire oil as the crossbow bolt explodes, and burn a flame on the hull and camp wall.

However, if you only add black powder, the accuracy of firing crossbow arrows from the bed ballista can be controlled within a half-meter attack range at a distance of 300 steps.

However, if you add fire oil, because the shaking of fire oil in the arrow shaft will affect the flight direction of the crossbow arrow, this accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

But in any case, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, this kind of bed ballista plus gunpowder crossbow arrows was used in water warfare, which was enough to destroy the enemy's warship and break the enemy's water camp.

In fact, this bed ballista can work wonders even if it is used in siege battles.

If the crossbow arrows are transformed into hardwood or something, the front end of the crossbow arrows fired can be deeply inserted into the rammed earth city wall of the loess gravel structure that is common in these days, so that half of the thick arrow shaft and tail feathers will be left on the city wall, so that the besieging soldiers can use the crossbow arrow shaft as a stepping foot to climb the city, and they can climb the city wall without ladders.

However, as a stepping arrow for siege, Zhu Wei has not yet developed it, and it is still in the research and development of Zhu Wei's ideas and craftsmen.

But now the bed ballista and gunpowder crossbow spears and arrows built by Zhu Wei have been brought to Zhu Wei's fleet with Zhu Wei's expedition to Jiangxia, and they can already be used in this attack on Jiangxia.

It can also be said that Jiangxia Huangzu has become the first target of Zhu Wei's bed ballista, as long as the power of the bed ballista is verified, in the face of Jiangling Cai Mao's naval army in the future, Zhu Wei will have the confidence to fight.

In fact, Zhu Wei originally wanted to build copper cannons or iron cannons, and he didn't need any modern artillery, as long as it was a primitive artillery.

That is, the most basic round and thick barrel, and then open an ignition hole in the powder compartment behind the barrel, first stuff the gunpowder bag in the gunpowder compartment of the barrel, and then put in the solid shell, and then ignite the powder compartment with a fuse after compacting, and then you can fire the shell according to the principle of air compressed explosion.

This kind of cannon barrel seemed to be untechnical in Zhu Wei's imagination, but in the actual blacksmith construction, many problems were still found.

The most important thing is that the cannon barrel can not be created casually, if it is used in the way of casting molds, there will be a lot of bubbles inside the gun body, it is easy to make the gun barrel self-detonate, if you use the method of hammering the gun body and then splicing, but can not ensure the tightness of the gun barrel, it will also cause the fragmentation of the gun barrel and self-explosion.

Therefore, this kind of artillery is still in the research and development of the Yuzhang craftsman workshop for the time being, and there is no usable finished product, otherwise with artillery, there is naturally no need to use such a complex thing as a bed ballista.

But the existence of the bed ballista was actually a big killer beyond the times in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and it could be used temporarily.

Located at the forefront of Zhu Wei's fleet, Ling Cao's column sat on the flagship river boat of the navy army, and there were five bed ballistae, so if the Huang Zu soldiers in the Qichun County Water Village resisted stubbornly, it was really not difficult to break this Qichun County Water Village.

Hearing the order from Zhu Wei, Ling Cao drove the flagship of the big ship he was on, plus the large and small ships with 5,000 soldiers around, and came to the gate of the water village in Qichun County.

After sending ships to surround this Huangzu Water Village, Ling Cao sent a lot of people to land around the Water Village in small boats, and robbed and killed all the soldiers sent out by the Water Village to ask for help and send letters.

In the end, Ling Cao's flagship river boat sailed to a place about a stone's throw away from the gate of the water village, and Ling Cao personally shouted loudly to the water village, "Wait and listen, this time my lord Qian Tanghou used troops in Jiangxia to bring 100,000 troops, and this small village is vulnerable, if you are interested, you will open the door and surrender, otherwise when my army breaks the village, I will not accept the surrender!" The lord of my family gave you time to wait for half a pillar of incense to consider, and after half a pillar of incense, the army attacked the village! ”

After Ling Cao finished speaking, he asked someone to bring a piece of incense, and in front of the eyes of those Huangzu soldiers in the water village, he broke half of it, and lit it for the soldiers on the side to hold.

"Hurry down!" "Down!" ”

With Ling Cao's words, the soldiers on Ling Cao's boat and the soldiers on the surrounding ships also shouted to the water village, and waves of sound rushed over like a tide.

And when Zhu Weihao's mighty fleet suddenly appeared in front of the Huangzu Water Village in Qichun County, the Huang Zu General stationed in the Water Village naturally saw so many ships coming over on the river from afar.

When he saw clearly the flag on Zhu Wei's boat, the officers and soldiers of Huang Zu in this water village quickly realized that it was Yuzhang Zhu Wei who had come to attack Jiangxia.

This point is very easy to understand, Zhu Wei of Yuzhang led the army to suddenly appear in Jiangxia, not an invasion, can it be a way?

Anyway, the general Huang Zu who was guarding this water village felt that Zhu Wei could not be passing by here, but his troops were insufficient, and in the face of such a huge Zhu Wei fleet, the only thing he could do was to close the gate of the water village and strictly guard it.

Facing Zhu Wei's huge fleet that was almost crammed with the Yangtze River, and the combined size of the river boats was larger than the area of this water village, the Huang Zubu general who guarded the water village had already guessed in his heart that the size of Zhu Wei's army was definitely above tens of thousands.

With the 2,000 sailors in this water village facing the surprise attack of Zhu Wei's tens of thousands of troops, it really felt like a stone smashing an egg, and it was still smashed suddenly.

Now the general of Huang Zu who is on duty in this water village in Qichun County is Zhang Shuo, he is a man in his thirties, but also the image of an ordinary southern military general, wearing an officer-level iron-inlaid armor of the Jiangxia Han Army, wearing a pot helmet, and holding a sword and shield.

Now Zhang Shuo is standing on the arrow tower of the water village and looking at the appearance, his heart is already a little uneasy, but he does not really control the military power of this water village, so he can only invite the other four military marquis in the water village who control the actual military power to discuss countermeasures together.

By the time he summoned the people over, this water village had been surrounded by Ling Cao and his troops.

Hearing Ling Cao's final persuasion to surrender in the water village, Zhang Shuo and the four military marquis who actually commanded the two thousand Huang Ancestor soldiers in the water village all looked a little ugly.

Although they didn't believe that Zhu Wei really brought 100,000 troops this time, they could see at a glance that the ships on the Yangtze River were boundless, and the masts of the large and small ships were erected like forests, which showed the number of Zhu Wei's troops.

Compared to the two thousand soldiers in the water village, this is simply impossible to contend with, so Zhang Shuo and the four military marquis were a little panicked in their hearts......
