This situation brought about the importance of the princes to the craftsmen, and even improved the treatment of the craftsmen.

A bolt of power would be terrible if it appeared on the battlefield, and then ten bolts were fired in succession under the control of the craftsman, each of which had reached a range of one hundred and sixty paces.

A distance of one hundred and sixty paces may not be much for a bed crossbow, but before the two armies fought, what kind of effect would the repeater have if it suddenly became powerful, and if it was used for ambush, the repeater car had great power.

"Well, it's really a sharp weapon, and on the battlefield in Japan, the ballista will definitely be able to shine and cause heavy losses to the enemy." Liu Bei laughed.

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to the lord for getting such a sharp weapon to help." ”

The craftsmen around also congratulated one after another.

"Okay, it's hard work to build a ballista, and each craftsman will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars." Liu Bei said with a smile.

The craftsmen thanked them one after another, and in their opinion, 10,000 yuan was already a lot of money, and many craftsmen who had worked hard for many years might not be able to get so many rewards.

"I wonder if this crossbow has a name?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, when this thing travels, it is similar to a vehicle, and it can fire ten crossbow arrows in a row, so it is called a repeater car." ”

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said: "This thing was created by Kong Ming, so let's name it Zhuge Repeater." ”

"Thank you, Lord for the name." There was some decision in Zhuge Liang's tone, naming it after his surname was definitely a great honor for Zhuge Liang, and as expected, the ballista would definitely be able to shine on the battlefield in the future.

The crossbow car was obtained by Zhuge Liang from his wife Huang, and Zhuge Liang's wife Huang is a member of the Huang family, a famous family in Jingzhou.

"The Herald's Workshop is working hard to build the repeater cart and strive to use it in the army as soon as possible, and Kong Ming is responsible for training the soldiers to control the repeater cart." Liu Bei said that he had high hopes for the ballista, and when the two armies were in a field battle, the sudden appearance of the ballista would inevitably change the direction of a war.

"Whoa." Zhuge Liang arched his hand, after having the matter of the crossbow car, he could clearly feel that Liu Bei attached more importance to him.

This is also human nature, if a person wants to gain the trust of the monarch, he must show enough ability, and although Zhuge Liang was young when he came out of the mountain, after all these years of experience, he deeply understood the importance of the monarch's trust, especially for strategists like Zhuge Liang.

The military division of the army seems to be beautiful, if the monarch trusts, it will have a high status in the army, if it can't get the trust of the monarch, it is just a literati in the army, and the general generals don't even pretend, after the defeat of Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang did idle for Liu Bei for a while.

The crossbow is being built in Yizhou, and Lu Bu is leading the army to appear outside the city of Zitong, and then there will be a large army coming, this time attacking Yizhou, Lu Bu intends to use 100,000 troops, Yizhou has passed through the war and there are few people, which causes Liu Bei to have greater convenience when training soldiers and horses, if Liu Bei can not be eliminated as quickly as possible, let Liu Bei recover from the war, there will be a lot of obstacles for the future war.

Since he decided to make a move on Liu Bei, Lu Bu has no intention of being soft, although Liu Bei's strength over the years is not strong, it is a huge disaster, and now in the Yizhou army, there is no shortage of elite soldiers, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and others, are all famous generals, if Yizhou is completely stabilized, it is very difficult to break Yizhou, judging from Liu Bei's performance, he is not a person who is willing to accept the status quo, after sending Yan Yan to lead the soldiers and horses to capture Ba County, he also wants to take advantage of the situation to capture Jiameng Pass.

The side of the couch allows others to sleep soundly, and after forming an alliance with Cao Cao, it can relieve the pressure from other princes to a great extent, and with Cao Cao's containment, it is difficult for the Jiangdong Army to play a role, as for Cao Cao's turn to attack Chang'an, Lu Bu will naturally not be afraid, Qingzhou Army, Jizhou Army, still have strong enough strength, the most important thing is that in the process of this conquest of Yizhou, only the flying cavalry was used, which means that Chang'an can mobilize the cavalry force, is a terrifying number, Cao Cao is a smart person, He knew what kind of people could be provoked, and if the attack on Jingzhou could be successful, it would be of great help to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has huge ambitions, after attacking Jingzhou, he can get a lot of things, Jingzhou is rich, can provide a sufficient amount of grain and grass for the army, and after having Jingzhou, Cao Cao will not worry about the rear problems, and will be able to mobilize more troops in the process of future campaigns.

Lu Bu is worried about Cao Cao to a certain extent, Cao Cao is most worried about Lu Bu, so if he can not provoke Lu Bu, Cao Cao will not provoke now, his biggest hope is that Liu Bei can have an excellent performance on the battlefield in Yizhou, and it is best to make Lu Bu suffer heavy losses, so that Cao Jun will have greater confidence when facing Lu Bu in the future.

The number of troops gathered outside the city of Zitong is constantly increasing, ten days later, the number of Chang'an troops outside the city has reached 50,000 people, and the craftsmen who came with the army are constantly building thunderbolts day and night, this war for Yizhou must last for a long time, mainly because when the Yizhou army is defending, it has thunderbolts, bed crossbows and other sharp weapons, which are used to defend the city, which will cause great difficulties to their own army.

Since the arrival of the army, the generals in the army took turns to go outside the city to fight, after the defeat of the Sword Pavilion, the people in the army in the city were panicked, talking about Lu Bu's color change, and how to dare to go out of the city to meet the battle, hang up the battle card to avoid the loss of the generals in the army, but let the morale of the defenders continue to decrease in the process of the enemy's battle, morale This kind of thing has a huge impact on the army when fighting.

The reason why Lü Bu led more than 4,000 soldiers to win in the face of the 10,000 army led by Yan Yan was because they had the belief that they would win when they fought and dared to engage a large number of enemy troops.

"Fengxiao, and now the enemy army in the city refuses to leave the city, if after the arrival of the army in Yizhou, our army still fails to break through Zitong, if you want to gain a foothold in Yizhou, it will become much more difficult." Lu Bu's tone was a little solemn.

Guo Jia said in a low voice: "Lord, Qin Tian has a lot of influence in Yizhou, if Qin Tian is allowed to come, maybe it will be of great help." ”
