Chapter Twenty-Five: The Eight Oxen Crossbow

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were countless good generals, and there were countless controversies about sending the top five, and it was not the exclusive property of one or two strategists, but in terms of good craftsmen alone, there was a public opinion in later generations, and militarily, Liu Ye improved the catapult, which made the battle of Cao Guandu a boost and suppressed the Yuan army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info smelting, Zheng Hun, Pu Yuan is the head, the knife made, sharpening iron like clay, called the world. In terms of people's livelihood, Ma Jun ranked first, overturned irrigation, and restructured looms, with a thousand years of work.

It's a pity that I don't have anyone! Sun Quan sighed, in the past two days, when he came into contact with the Han-made military crossbow with Chang Nu, he sighed that there were too few talents around him, and with Sun Quan's hands-on ability, I am afraid that he would not be able to make a military crossbow in ten days and half a month.

The Han Dynasty used the crossbow prevailing, the winding and aiming separation, the arrow strength is far away, up to one hundred and twenty steps, the strong crossbow is more victorious, the Han Wu chased the Huns, thanks to the strong crossbow, with the crossbow to overcome the way of riding, the cavalry wears more leather armor, the crossbow arrow can be easily shot through, so the crossbow is also an important type of arms alongside the cavalry, but with the development of hoplites and firearms, and the crossbow gradually withdrew from the historical stage because of the rate of fire and other issues.

"Zimin, do any of the craftsmen who come with you know how to make crossbows?" , Sun Quan plans to find a few craftsmen first to see if he can make the Eight Bull Crossbow, as for the ballista and trebuchet, which are cold weapons alongside the ballista, the three heavy weapons of cold weapons, will appear at once, it will be too sensational, it is better to appear one by one.

"The armory craftsmen are all in Shouchun, the military crossbow is heavy, if you want to observe the military crossbow, I can send someone to get one."

"Okay, by the way, bring a few craftsmen here, I have an idea in my heart, I want to improve the crossbow"

"It takes more than ten days to communicate, what do you think, why don't you discuss it together," Yuan Yao asked.

When Chang Nu heard this, he was immediately interested and came over.

"......", I really want to explain to you from the perspective of mechanics, Sun Quan was helpless, squatted down, and used a branch to draw the eight ox crossbow simply, he did not Yu Yuan Yao directly handed over this simple diagram to Yuan Shu first, in all fairness, Sun Quan bet that with the skill level of the craftsmen of the Han Dynasty, without any parameter explanation, he Yuan Highway could be built before ascending the throne, Sun Shiwan went to Shouchun to concentrate on being a pastry chef, and did not go to be a county order, eunuch, sugar maker, fisherman.

Sun Quan also inherited from the Qin Dynasty of the military crossbow drawn, strong crossbow is quite popular today, Jizhou Yuan Shao's subordinate Ju Yi took the lead in the death of the soldier to break the white horse of Sun Zan with a strong crossbow, and Yuan Shao's Zhang He led the halberd warrior but was overcome, the crossbow work, can be seen. However, it is not easy to make a strong crossbow, the cost is high, the crossbow of the Han Dynasty is divided into more than a dozen, and the princes also choose the appropriate crossbow equipment.

Yuan Yao and Chang Nu didn't care when they saw him draw the Han crossbow, and when Sun Quan drew the Eight Bull Crossbow, Chang Nu was silent, and Yuan Yao asked in surprise:

"How long are the arrows used in this crossbow?"

Sun Quan smiled, "With a spear as an arrow, the enemy soldiers are dense, and you can kill five or six people through the hole, and you are invincible."

Chang Nu glanced at it a few more times and asked in a low voice, "How many people can open such a giant crossbow?" ”

"Charge the strength of thirty people to release the bow, and there are nooses on the left and right that require four people to charge."

Chang Nu's indifferent eyes flickered a few times, and said: "If you attack the city with this, the momentum of the defenders of the city will be frustrated, and the spears will be stationed in the city wall, and the soldiers can also climb up to attack the city." ”

Professional, the eight-bull crossbow does have this effect, Song Taizu rode with a foot, and the Khitan competed for the male, thanks to the bed crossbow, although not as good as the eight-bull crossbow, it is not much the same, it is a pity that the candle shadow is red, the younger brother usurped the brother's position, Zhao Er is not through the military, after the position of a good hand of cards but lost in a panic, and then the momentum of the military suppression has been achieved, Zhao Song no longer has the ability to peep at the Yan.

Far away, Sun Quan smiled proudly and replied: "It's true, it can be attacked and defended, and the world is invincible." Before the pinnacle return cannon of the trebuchet appeared, Sun Quan added a sentence in his heart.

Chang Nu bowed to Yuan Yao, "I also hope that the prince will repay the lord, although the cost is huge, its benefits are multiplied, it is really a rare good weapon." ”

Yuan Yao nodded, and said excitedly: "This thing is very beneficial, I will tell my father quickly, I don't know how long it will take for Zhong Mou to make this one?" ”

It may take half a year, maybe longer, after all, for the first time, Sun Quan thought about it and said uncertainly: "I'm afraid it will take a year, maybe longer, good craftsmen are hard to find, and most of the crossbowmen can only make Han crossbows, which is not compatible, even if it is completed, I am afraid it will take more than a month to make one." ”

Dreaming of leading thousands of eight-oxen crossbows to attack the city, an order, the two of them who fired ten thousand spears were "empowered by the pot" by Sun Quan with a basin of cold water, the corners of his mouth twitched, Chang Nu had no choice but to look at Sun Quan, and Yuan Yao said:

"This thing needs thousands of bodies, put it can make great contributions, one can be made in a month, even if it can be made after a year, the production is not for use, Zhongmou, can there be a good law?"

"I want to recruit a few good craftsmen and celebrities to improve this thing, if it can be done, half a month can make one."

The two of them figured out that after recruiting more craftsmen to familiarize themselves, the output could also rise, which was unsatisfactory, but it had to be so, Yuan Yao asked:

"I wonder who Zhongmou plans to recruit?"

"Jingzhou has a vast geography, many households, and many good craftsmen, I want..."

Yuan Yao stretched out his hand to interrupt, "Liu Jingsheng will definitely not be a good craftsman with us", Sun and Liu Biao have a grudge against their father, when Liu Biao entered Jingxiang, Yuan Shu watched Jingzhou again, and sent assassins to assassinate Liu Biao, how can he be willing to borrow a good craftsman?

Sun Quan pouted, I didn't want it either, what I wanted was below.

"Xuzhou is rich, the Mi family, the Chen family is a big family in the world, or there are good ......"

Yuan Yao stretched out his hand again to interrupt, "The Mi family is devoted to Liu Bei, the Chen family is not on good terms with my Yuan family, and they will definitely not wait for a good craftsman with me", so annoying, at the beginning of the year, Yuan Shucai and Liu Bei had a big fight, although Lu Bu sneaked up on Liu Bei's wife (wife and son, Mo Crooked), how could Liu Bei, who had just become a state pastor and sent someone under the fence, give a good craftsman and them, anyway, Yuan Yao had no face to write a letter.

"Lujiang Liu Ye is quite talented, and there are a lot of households in the important land of Anhui, or there are good craftsmen?"

"Stabbing Zheng Baozhi Liu Ye?" , Yuan Yao asked, Liu Ye is very famous, but now the most famous is to assassinate Zheng Bao, Cao Cao divided the princes from all over the country, and the envoy also went to Lujiang, Zheng Bao occupied Chaohu Lake, and wanted to force Liu Ye to be a strategist, but Liu Ye used the envoy as a bureau, set up a banquet to attract Zheng Bao, and killed him on the spot (fierce enough), and then led his troops to Liu Xun, and now Lujiang Wancheng.

"Hearing its reputation, it may be useful", Sun Quan nodded silently.

What is the use of the Assassin Liu Ye against the Eight Bull Crossbow? Chang Nu and Yuan Yao were helpless in their hearts, but except for Shouchun, only Lujiang was the closest, and the rest of Yuan Shu's county, Runan, and Guangling were too far away, so they also acquiesced to this decision.

Koto? After the eight-ox crossbow is made, it is difficult to go to Jiangdong regardless of the crossbowman.

"Tomorrow, Zhongmou and I will go to Lujiang to recruit good craftsmen, and I will write a letter to Shouchun to mobilize good craftsmen."

In fact, I don't know how many people operate the Eight Bull Crossbow, after all, I wasn't even a military enthusiast, and the novel found a few descriptions, hehe, let me learn how to avoid the important and introduce ancient weapons, and I don't know the name of it. Ask for recommendations and collections, please point out any mistakes.

Also, the Zheng Bao incident was advanced, the plot was modified, and I was going to fight a few battles to cut Zheng Bao, but TM I can't think of an excuse to find Er Qiao for the time being, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
