To be honest, when the trebuchet drops stone bullets, the momentum is very amazing, especially when the long lever that is pulled up suddenly falls and smashes heavily on the base of the trebuchet, the sound is deafening. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the http://biquge.info of Wèn Aishang Novel Network.)

biquge.info) Then, the stone projectile emitted from the spoon at the other end of the lever, the whirring sound of its sudden throwing, and the shock of the stone projectile falling heavily on the ground, all of which can make people feel the power of the trebuchet.

Therefore, as for whether the stone projectiles sent out by the trebuchet destroyed the stone wall, Liu Yi felt that there was no doubt. After all, the stone wall had only just been built, and in fact, it was not as thick as the real city wall, and if it was hit by a stone projectile, it would be light to break through or destroy the stone wall.

Liu Yi was different from everyone's shock, he could clearly see that Gan Ning had an aiming action before throwing the stone projectile. This kind of man-powered projectile trebuchet is completely free to fall by lever, and then throw the stone projectile out, the accurate hit of the stone projectile is completely based on the weight of the stone projectile and the difference when the lever falls to determine the distance and distance deviation of the stone projectile. This kind of stone projectile that is completely uncontrolled by humans, even if it is calculated by a quasi-dense computer, I am afraid that it is difficult to accurately calculate the exact landing point of its stone projectile, but this Gan Ning can actually accurately hit the target with a slight adjustment? Was this a mistake or an intentional act?

"Haha! This, what, oh, trebuchet, yes, it's trebuchet, haha, awesome! Lord, this plaything is good, really good, the power is so surprising, I Lao Gan is a little happy about it, although it doesn't look very useful, but can you give it to me to play? Gan Ning said unashamedly, he seemed to just regard this trebuchet as a toy, and did not realize the huge use of this trebuchet at all.

"Plaything?" Without waiting for Liu Yi to speak, Xun Yu turned his eyes and said to Gan Ning: "Look at Xingba, you have trained the sailors and soldiers one by one, and you seem to know some ways to train soldiers, you are also a literate and broken ink person, could it be that you have never read some military books and classics?" This trebuchet is a siege weapon, the trebuchet made by the Liu Yi brothers is just a small trebuchet that can be thrown by a single person, if you get those large trebuchets, it will take dozens or even hundreds of people to pull the projectile, and the stones thrown are so big...... This stone bullet hit the city wall, you can think of that kind of power. ”

As Xun Yu spoke, he opened his hands and made a hugging work to prove to Gan Ning how big the stone projectiles dropped by those large trebuchets were.

Liu Yi knew that the kind of large-scale trebuchet that Xun Yu was talking about was a crossbow-backed compound bow structure trebuchet, and its pulling force was extremely high, and no dozens or even hundreds of people could pull it. However, in history, in addition to the Warring States period, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty seem to have few accounts of this kind of trebuchet, in the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty of the Mongol army developed this trebuchet to the extreme, especially the Mongol army, they cited the counterweight trebuchet, the role of the trebuchet to the fullest, the Mongolian army everywhere, is really indestructible, no city is not broken, even the Chinese Celestial Dynasty was destroyed by them, but also made it a permanent shame for the Han people.

Historically, there always seemed to be some coincidences. What our ancestors invented eventually became the most important weapon for aliens to destroy themselves. The Mongolian army used trebuchets to defeat the whole of China, and in later generations, the world powers used the gunpowder invented by our ancestors to create guns and cannons to invade us, and even a small island country dared to invade China. However, now that he has returned to the ancient times of the Three Kingdoms, he should find a way to avoid these tragedies in the afterlife.

"Hehe......" Gan Ning scratched his head, and smirked a little embarrassedly: "I've seen it, but it's rare now." ”

"Okay, you send it again, see if you can still hit that stone wall, if you can still hit it, this trebuchet is yours." Liu Yi really didn't believe in evil, and didn't believe that Gan Ning would throw the stone bomb so accurately. (Full text e-book free download)

"Really? If we get it, it's mine? Gan Ning made no secret of his affection for this trebuchet.

"Cut, when did I, Lew, lie to you? However, this is not a plaything to take home for himself, but to take him to the ship and set it up on the ship. Liu Yi said with a snort from Gan Ning.

Syllable!

As soon as Gan Ning heard Liu Yi say that he was going to load the trebuchet on the ship, he suddenly understood, and clapped his palms excitedly and said: "Ha, I just thought, my lord, you said that after you come back from Jiangling, you will send troops to subdue all the water pirates in Dongting Lake, but after you come back, you haven't seen your actions for a long time, so that's the case!" Xingba understood! Haha, if there is this trebuchet on the ship, those water thieves will be waiting to be stoned, haha! ”

"Don't be happy so early, this trebuchet, the stone projectile thrown is not easy to grasp, generally speaking, it is difficult to grasp its landing point, just now you saw my projection, it is too far away from the target, this is still in normal times, there are wind and waves on the ship, the hull is bumpy, if you want to hit the enemy ship, it is too difficult." Liu Yi motioned to Gan Ning to hurry up and send another bullet to take a look, and turned his head to Xun Yu and said, "We have more than a dozen medium ships and two big ships. On the middle ship, each ship is equipped with a trebuchet, and the big ship is equipped with two, what do you think? ”

Although Xun Yu was a literati, his understanding of military affairs was definitely no worse than Liu Yi, and the knowledge they learned in Jingxiang, Yingzhou and other places in this era was definitely not only about literature, but also about military formation, military equipment, war strategy, etc., which were all compulsory subjects for them. If you don't learn these, how can this talent of Jing Xiang be outstanding in this Three Kingdoms era in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty? Literati who do not know how to arrange troops and do not know how to march and fight are just simple literati, and they cannot talk about strategists.

Whether it is Xiao Zhu, Pang Tong or Xu Shu in the future, they are all strategists, and the same is true of Xun Yu.

Xun Yu pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed a pioneering feat to install a trebuchet on a ship, especially a small trebuchet like this. However, its range is too short, at most about 200 paces, and the distance of 200 paces can be shortened between breathing, and the distance can be closer, or the enemy will be farther away, and the trebuchet will lose its due effect. In addition, the range of the trebuchet is about the same as the range of the bow and arrow, and when we throw stones, the people on the enemy ship can also shoot to kill us, and besides, on the ship, as you said, the bump of the hull will also reduce its hit, and to be honest, its hit is not as good as letting the soldiers fire a salvo together, and the damage may be greater than that of the trebuchet. Therefore, I think that the trebuchet plays a role not so much in striking and killing the enemy, but more in deterring the enemy. If you can really hit the enemy ship, a stone bullet, although it is impossible to really destroy the enemy ship, but its power will definitely make the enemy feel frightened, this should be the biggest difference between trebuchets and bows and arrows, deterring the enemy. ”

"Well, that's true." Liu Yi felt that Xun Yu was very reasonable, if it was artillery, it was indeed a big killer, but this trebuchet was really hard to say.

"Besides, the weight of the trebuchet itself doesn't seem to be light, right? The shelves as high as two or three zhang high, and the base several zhang wide are installed on the ship, and I am afraid that I will occupy all the places on the deck. Xun Yu continued: "In my opinion, it's just two big ships equipped with four trebuchets, and other ships don't need it." Because, in addition to this trebuchet, there are also a lot of stone bullets to be loaded, and the problem of heavy hull may also affect the flexibility of the ship itself. With two large ships as the center, the other ships are used as escorts, so we must keep the other ships flexible, otherwise, each ship will not be able to move flexibly, and let one of the enemy's small ships or medium ships ram our big ships, and our losses will be great. ”

"Yes, Mr. Xun, what you said is right, I take it for granted, so let's only install it on a big ship." Liu Yi thought about what Xun Yu said was also very reasonable, and he was taught to hold his fists.

"Hehe, the trebuchet, a siege weapon, is actually not as much as everyone thinks, it really has that much effect. After all, to be able to play a role in the real city wall, you have to use that kind of large trebuchet to work, but even if it works, it does not mean that a stone bullet can destroy the city wall, and a large catapult, whether it is manufactured or used, has to waste too much manpower and material resources, besides, it is manufactured, and transporting the catapult is also a big problem, how to carry the catapult to two or three hundred steps away from the city wall, this is a problem. Xun Yu further explained to Liu Yi the difficulty of using this trebuchet.

Hearing Xun Yu say this, Liu Yi suddenly understood a little that in many wars in ancient times, why there was no record of the use of trebuchets to destroy the city wall and determine the outcome of the war. Or there are, but there are very few, most of them are besieging the city, besieging the city, and the siege is surrounded for ten days and a half months, or there are many examples of battles that have not broken the city for several months. Well, just like in later generations, when Li Shimin attacked Wang Shiyun's Luoyang, he fought fiercely for most of the year and couldn't attack it, which proves that throwing stones may not really play a decisive role in those cities with high walls and thick walls.

Moreover, Xun Yu also said very clearly that the large-scale catapult mechanism is not suitable, the transportation is not suitable, it is too wasteful of a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is better to spend these manpower and material resources to make a crossbow bed if you have the ability to make a large trebuchet. After Xun Yu said this, Liu Yi immediately dispelled the idea of making more trebuchets and making trebuchets in a big lane.

In fact, as for the Mongol army of the Yuan Dynasty in later generations, the reason why they were able to make so many giant trebuchets to attack the city and plunder the land was that they had really mastered the power of the world, and they had countless Han people for them to enslave, so they would not care about the cost, so they made a large trebuchet to attack the city. However, even the Mongol army did not use giant trebuchets to bombard every city they hit, and only a few cities that could not be attacked for a long time would spend so much manpower and material resources to create giant trebuchets when there was no way.

Touch!

With a boom, while Liu Yi was thinking about it, Gan Ning threw another stone bomb. This time, as Liu Yi thought, it was not as accurate as the first shot, but it still surprised Liu Yi, because, although this time it did not directly hit the stone wall that was broken through a hole, but the stone bullet thrown by Gan Ning smashed a distance of ten steps in front of the stone wall, and the stone bullet fell to the ground, and it did not shatter immediately, but by the inertia of the projectile, it rolled forward, and hit the stone wall with a bang.

"Good!"

Everyone present clapped their hands and shouted, and Liu Yi couldn't help but scream.

"W-This is a hit, isn't it?" Gan Ning turned around, afraid that Lewi would say that he didn't hit the stone wall.

"Count you, this trebuchet is yours, find someone to put the trebuchet on your big ship."

"Great! So-and-so immediately had someone get it on the boat. Gan Ning smiled excitedly.

"Wait, tell me, if you drop stone bullets, although not every time you can accurately hit the stone wall, but it is not far behind, is there any trick?" Liu Yi stopped and wanted to order his subordinates to dismantle the trebuchet and get it away.

"Hehe......" Gan Ning didn't seem to know what to say for a while, hehe laughed, thought about it before saying: "That's the case, when I practiced martial arts, I was very interested in all kinds of weapons, what kind of swords, guns, swords, halberds, I can play a few tricks, so as soon as I saw this trebuchet, I treated him as a weapon, well, I regarded him as a large bow and arrow." ”

"Just now, when I saw that when you tried to throw a stone bomb, the lever fell, and I found that, in fact, as long as the lever is pulled to a certain distance, the force it produces is almost the same size. Then, the key is that the angle at which it falls determines the route of the stone projectile. If the angle at which the lever falls is adjusted, then the throwing line of the stone bullet can be fixed, and then, the weight of the stone bullet almost determines the distance and distance of the stone bullet. I've seen you send it a few times, and I'm thinking about how to cast it to hit that stone wall, heh, good luck, one hit! ”

When Liu Yi heard this, he saw that Gan Ning actually had such an experience, and even he, a later person, never thought of this, or rather, Liu Yi thought from the beginning that the stone projectiles dropped by this trebuchet were too random, so he didn't think about it, but now when he heard Gan Ning say this, he felt that it was really such a thing. If you throw the stone bomb according to the method Gan Ning said, although it is impossible to grasp the landing point of the stone bomb every time, but at the very least, with the control zhì, in this way, the stone bomb can be thrown not too far from the target, and in the case of several more shots, there will always be a time to hit.

"Yes, very thoughtful." Liu Yi immediately said: "You go back and find some soldiers with great strength, let them take turns to learn to throw stone bombs, first try to throw them on this land for a few days, and then get the trebuchet on the ship, I will order someone to make a few more trebuchets and install them on two big ships." ”

"Yes! I'll do it right away. Gan Ning said with his chest straight.

"Go ahead, I have something to do."

"Command!" After Gan Ning finished speaking, he turned his head and ran, but after only running a few steps, he turned back and asked, "Then, is it that if you put the trebuchet on the ship, you can almost send troops?" ”

"What's the hurry? Wait, those soldiers can't be left behind in their training on the ship, and besides, you go to the blacksmith and ask him to make more arrows, prepare more arrows, and, oil or something, make more rockets for backup. Let the soldiers practice archery more in addition to practicing combat on the rocking ship. ”

"Got it!" When Gan Ning heard this, his face flushed and ran away, although Liu Yi told him not to worry, but what he asked him to do was all preparation for the expedition, so he knew that the day of the expedition was approaching, and he was very excited.

Hehe, Gan Ning dreamed of leading the army of sailors to quell the water thieves in Dongting Lake.

After Gan Ning left, Liu Yi said to Xun Yu again: "Mr. Xun, what do you think of Cao Yin?" ”

"It's a bit of a scheming guy, and he's quite bold, worthy of being a water thief, and he's a little decisive in doing things, and he dares to take risks." Xun Yu didn't want to say that this was given to him by him through Liu Yi, about Cao Yin's birth origin, and the impression that Cao Yin gave him after meeting Cao Yin.

"So do you think he's credible?"

"Hehe, it depends on what the situation is. If you are in a different position from him, of course you can't be trusted, this person can sometimes be a little insidious, if you are an enemy of him, in order to protect yourself, he estimates that any means can be used. However, now that he has recognized you as his lord, he can be regarded as his own. You ask this, is it because you are still a little wary of him in your heart? Xun Yu did not treat Liu Yi as his lord like Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou or Cao Yin, he and Liu Yi are now brothers and friends, like-minded friends, so many times, he can stand together in a relatively neutral position to speak.

Of course, he has also been observing, observing whether Liu Yi is a person who can achieve great things. For others to recognize Liu Yi as the lord, he didn't feel anything in his heart, at this time, those rich and powerful court officials or wealthy people of the world, which of them did not have many of those literati and martial artists to worship them as the lord? Even if it is Xun Yu himself, the Xun family is also a famous family, and the people in the family all call themselves the main ones. In fact, through his observations, and working with Liu Yiyi, he found that this Liu Yi does have a dragon and phoenix posture, if Liu Yi continues to develop like this, his future is really limitless, if he is not deeply affected by the kind of family discipline education that is loyal to the Han family and the imperial court, he is afraid that he will now officially recognize Liu Yi as the master.
