A long time ago, Guo Jia mentioned the idea of manufacturing repeaters to Ma Jun, but Ma Jun had too many inventions to be busy with, from keel overturning to textile machines, plus guide cars, etc., Ma Jun's contribution to water conservancy and machinery is no longer enough to be described as priceless, it is more than ten cities and 100 cities. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info// update fast // odd qi

The strong crossbow used by the Taiping army is already considered to be the best of the contemporary long-range weapons, so Ma Jun put the project of manufacturing repeaters in the back, and after all these years of idleness, Ma Jun made up his mind to study the repeater according to the concept described by Guo Jia to him, and to this day, it is finally worth it.

Holding a repeater in his yard as if cherishing a work of art, Ma Jun sat on a chair in the snow, looking at the door of the courtyard from time to time, and his mood seemed impatient.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, Ma Jun stood up, and was about to go to greet him, when he walked in first.

Yan Pu, who was wearing an official uniform, stepped into the courtyard as the leader, followed by Meng Huo, who was as strong as a mountain, and there were many elite soldiers with him.

In that year, Guo Jia entered Yizhou, Zhang Liao led the army to capture Hanzhong, Yan Pu surrendered with Zhang Lu Jucheng, and then Zhang Lu was put on the shelf, and then Zhang Lu went to the Yaoshi Palace to cultivate the Tao, and Yan Pu served as a military advisor in Zhang Liao's army, as Guo Jia entered Guanzhong, Yan Pu succeeded Zhang Liao as the Taishou of Hanzhong, and he was conscientious in political affairs for ten years, and there was no criticism of it.

Hanzhong, a strategic place, coupled with the hoarding of strategic military supplies here, is such a top priority, Guo Jia dares to let Yan Pu sit in charge, which is enough to show his trust in him, and this trust was won back by Yan Pu himself with his every move.

Yan Pu entered the courtyard of the Ma family, and when he saw Ma Jun holding a crossbow machine in his arms, he was immediately shocked, and asked urgently: "Don't drive in, is there a thief entering?" You don't have to worry, I'll mobilize troops to protect you and your family. ”

Not only Ma Jun's family, but also those Yizhou craftsmen have secret sentinels arranged by Yan Pu around them, the purpose is to ensure the safety of their white spoons, but he didn't get any news of assassins, but now he sees Ma Jun holding a weapon, and he thinks that the protection is not good, and Ma Jun is in crisis.

Seeing Yan Pu waving his hand to put the entourage behind him on guard, Ma Jun's face was anxious, and he waved his hand and said, "No, it's okay." I called you to come, just, just to show you, to see this. ”

After speaking, Ma Jun presented the repeating crossbow in his arms to Yan Pu.

Since the two brothers of the Wu family went down the Han River to capture Xincheng and Shangyong, Meng Shu came to Hanzhong from Guanzhong with 30,000 soldiers and horses.

He didn't understand why Guo Jia would send heavy troops to protect these craftsmen, and now he was a little curious.

When I looked closer, the crossbow in Yan Pu's hand was not much different from the crossbow used by the Taiping army that I usually saw.

The subtlety of the machine lies in the internal structure, and it is by no means reflected by the difference in appearance.

Yan Pu couldn't see any difference between this crossbow and the usual crossbow.

Now there are two kinds of crossbows used by the Taiping army, one is to shoot one arrow at a time, which is powerful and accurate. The other is to shoot three arrows per shot, and the power of the three arrows is slightly weaker, but the shooting area is larger.

The crossbow in Yan Pu's hand was obviously a single-shot crossbow, which didn't look much different from the usual single-shot crossbow.

"Don't drive into the big in, this, forgive the official for being stupid, let's go in and solve the doubts."

Yan Pu strictly abides by the etiquette of the upper and lower levels in front of Ma Jun, Ma Jun's official position is indeed higher than him, and Guo Jia's attention to Ma Jun makes it impossible for Yan Pu to despise Ma Jun.

Ma Jun saw that Yan Pu and Meng Shu were both confused, scratched his head and thought for a while, and then asked, "You, you bring a set of armor for the tiger, the tiger guard." ”

Yan Pu immediately ordered to go in and get it.

Hanzhong is the place where the equipment of the war equipment was built, and there are samples of the equipment of the various armies of the Taiping Army.

After a while, the guards brought a set of armor of the tiger guard, and Ma Jun ordered to take out a wooden statue from the house, and then put the armor on the wooden body and placed it against the wall in the courtyard.

Looking at Yan Pu and Meng Shu, Ma Jun stretched out his hand and pointed at Meng Shu and said, "You, you come here." ”

After Meng Shu, who had entered the tall horse, came to Ma Jun, he saw Ma Jun loading the crossbow with ten arrows, adjusting it and handing it to Meng Shu, and then pointing to the wooden one with the armor on, and solemnly ordered: "Aim at that shot, but, thousand, you must hold it steadily." ”

Although Meng Shu was born in the Southern Barbarians, he had never been exposed to crossbows, which are considered high-tech weapons in contemporary times, but after he joined the Taiping Army, he naturally learned how to control a strong crossbow, and now when he heard Ma Jun's words, he didn't pay attention to it at all, isn't it a crossbow? He's tired of playing.

Yan Pu, who was watching from the sidelines, was still puzzled.

Maybe it's because this crossbow is more powerful than any other crossbow ever before.

In terms of the equipment with the highest defensive power in the Taiping Army, it is the heavy armor on the tiger guard.

Such armor can be without fear of ordinary bows and arrows and ordinary crossbows, even if the crossbow of the Taiping Army shoots up, it will only be the arrow embedded in the armor, but it will not shoot through, therefore, a heavy armor unit like the Tiger Guard is the king of the ground foot soldiers, but unfortunately the cost of armor is too high, Guo Jia can only afford to raise 20,000 Tiger Guards in the past 20 years.

Under the attention of the left and right crowds, Meng Shu aimed at the wood with a crossbow, and then launched!

The sound of arrows breaking through the air rang out.

Whoosh felt the arrow go out, Meng Shu thought it was over, and was about to put down the crossbow with a wave of his hand, but unexpectedly, the continuous sound of breaking the air continued to sound.

Whoosh

Snowflakes flew, arrows shot indiscriminately, and the courtyard was suddenly full of murderous machines.

"Wow oaa"

Ma Jun lay on his stomach in the snow, facing Meng Shu's back closely, for fear that the other party would turn around and inadvertently point the crossbow that was still shooting arrows towards him.

Yan Pu and a thousand accompanying guards also trembled, hugging their heads and running around.

Meng Shu was like a demon king with full firepower, and he didn't dare to get close.

Ten arrows were finally fired, and the snowflakes in the courtyard fell, and the walls, the snow, and the wood were all over the body.

An eerie silence spread all around.

The guards looked at the crossbow in Meng Shu's hand like ghosts.

Yan Pu got up from the snow in embarrassment, patted the snow on his body, straightened the crown on his head, and walked towards Meng Huo with palpitations, and deliberately bypassed the path where the crossbow in Meng Shu's hand was targeted.

Ma Jun got up from the ground in a hurry, regardless of his sloppy appearance, rushed to Meng Shu, snatched the crossbow from his hand, and said angrily: "I, I'm not, said, I told you, you take it, hold it steadily?" ”

Meng Shu grinned, he felt that the feeling just now was quite enjoyable.

I didn't feel guilty at all, and I even wanted to do it again.

"Don't drive too much, my hands are quite steady."

Ma Jun glared at him helplessly, looked around and asked, "Didn't you get hurt?" ”

The guards who seemed to be facing a great enemy looked at each other and shook their heads at Ma Jun together.

Yan Pu stepped over, staring at the crossbow in Ma Jun's hand with bright eyes, and asked with a smile: "Don't drive in, this crossbow can shoot continuously?" ”

Ma Jun reloaded the arrows, nodded, and then handed the crossbow to Meng Shu, just about to open his mouth to admonish, Meng Shu took the crossbow with a smile and said: "Don't worry, don't drive into it, this time it will definitely be no problem." ”

It seems that with the previous incident, everyone didn't trust Meng Shu, and all the people in the courtyard stood behind Meng Shu, and Ma Jun even ran back to the room and looked out at the scene outside the window.

Meng Shu once again aimed at the wood and fired.

A series of ten arrows burst away.

This time, Meng Shu turned around, shrugged his shoulders to the crowd, and then picked up the crossbow and looked at it with affection, he, a mechanical layman, not to mention staring at the crossbow like this, he couldn't see one, two, three, even if he dismantled the crossbow, he would not have a second reaction except dizziness.

Yan Pu walked into the wood with a solemn expression, and the closer he got closer, the faster his heart beated.

There was a fist-sized hole in the chest where the wood entered, and when he looked down, Yan Pu was surprised.

An arrow can't pierce the Tiger Guard's armor, but if a dense shot is from the same position, it will pierce the armor.

Taking off the armor from the wood, Yan Pu saw that the wood had been shot through, but the arrow did not pierce the back of the armor, but that was enough.

"It seems to be much more powerful, and it's not much different from ordinary crossbows."

Meng Huo looked at the crossbow in his hand, and couldn't see the way out of the door after turning it over.

Yan Pu disagreed with Meng Shu's remarks, and if Meng Huo was an outsider, Yan Pu would sneer at him and cast a contemptuous look.

This repeater is so powerful! And when applied, it will provide the army with more powerful combat power!

Not to mention the battle, just the water battle, if the Taiping army's warships are equipped with such repeating crossbows, I am afraid that the enemy will not be given the opportunity to engage in broadside battles!

Whether it's an archer or a crossbowman, there is time after each shot to give the enemy a chance to counterattack.

It is conceivable that the continuous burst of the crossbow, in the water battle, the enemy wants to take the side to board the ship, a few crossbows can block the enemy, even if the control of the crossbow is dead, the next one only needs to launch, and then dodge, you can complete the suppression of the enemy.

Yan Pu hurriedly walked to Ma Jun's side and asked in a deep voice, "Don't drive in, how many arrows can this repeating crossbow fire at most?" ”

Ma Jun knocked on the door of his head and thought about it, and replied: "If you shoot arrows in a row, too many arrows will be reduced, but you, since you ask so, then at most, you can fire arrows from thirty to fifty in a row, but, but the power is definitely not as good as one, only ten arrows." ”

After hearing this, Yan Pu asked again: "Is there any way to make this repeater?" ”

Ma Jun shook his head, keeping this kind of thing secret, Ma Jun knew it well, and after the successful development, he would find Yan Pu as soon as possible, and he also hoped that Yan Pu could report this matter to Guo Jia.

Yan Pu made a decision in an instant, let Ma Jun take the crossbow, and he sent 3,000 soldiers to escort Ma Jun to Chengdu to meet Guo Jia directly.

If it is a water conservancy equipment that is beneficial to the people, Yan Pu will not attach so much importance to it, but even the crossbow Bi Jing is a war equipment, and what to do next must be decided by Guo Jia.

Ma Jun heard that he was going to let him go to Chengdu, and readily agreed.

Yan Pu was resolute and was about to set off, and when Ma Jun went to pack his bags, he hurried to the family's courtyard.

"Qing, Qing'er, come out, go with Dad, go to Chengdu."

Ma Jun roared out of his throat, and a head poked out of the room, it was a girl with clear eyebrows, and her clear eyes looked at Ma Jun in confusion.

"Dad, are you going to Chengdu?"

Ma Jun beckoned to her and urged: "Quick, hurry up and pack your luggage, go, go to see your future husband, remember, dress up beautifully." ”

This is Ma Jun's eldest daughter, Ma Qing, hearing Ma Jun's words, her delicate face instantly turned red
