Seeing the trebuchet made by Lu Shen and his craftsmen, Gongsun Xu's face was not shocked.

The appearance and practical performance of this trebuchet are really far from the trebuchet he thought in his heart.

The trebuchet that Gongsun Xu saw in later generations was something that had been formed after countless generations of scientific and technological development, and this was a sketch that Gongsun Xu took out and Lu Shen developed something, it would definitely not be the same.

But what! Although the trebuchet made by the master craftsman Lu Shen did not reach the goal of Gongsun Xu, it was still a trebuchet after all.

Gongsun Xu couldn't help but think in his heart that this thing should be very close to the TV show "I Love Invention" in later generations, and the first thing invented must look ugly and not easy to use, as long as the follow-up continuous improvement efforts, sooner or later it will reach the ideal state.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Xu felt a lot more at ease, and he began to command the guards around him, asking them to help Lu Shen and the others start to concoct.

For trebuchets, Gongsun Xu's secrecy work is still quite good, except for Lu Shen's master craftsmen, that is, Gongsun Xu's personal guards and Zhao Yun.

Gongsun continued to know that the appearance of this trebuchet would change the course of history at the end of the Han Dynasty, and even the appearance of this trebuchet would change his current situation.

Seeing that the guards had finished debugging according to their own requirements, Gongsun Xu said with a solemn expression: "Gongsun Da, you lead two people over to shake the winch, and press down the crossbar like a big spoon until the crossbar can hook the fixed hemp rope." ”

After seeing Gongsun Daling's order to do it, Gongsun Xu spoke again and said to Fan Jun, the newly selected guard leader beside him: "You see that there is no big stone over there, it is the largest one, you bring a few people over, move the big stone over, and put the stone in the trebuchet." ”

After seeing that everything was arranged, Gongsun continued to signal the people around him to follow him away from the trebuchet's position.

For this newly made trebuchet, Gongsun Xu doesn't have much confidence in his heart, after all, it is still unknown whether this thing can be made or not, just stay away from the trebuchet and watch it.

If there is a problem with the trebuchet and the stone is stoned to death as soon as it comes out, it will be more than worth the loss.

The guards around Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun and Han Yu, they thought it was very strange that Gongsun Xu had called them over to see such a strange thing.

Whether it was Zhao Yun, Han Yu, or Gongsun Xu's personal soldiers, they had never seen such a magical thing as a trebuchet in this era.

If it is a ladder or a nest car, they can still have some understanding, but this trebuchet made of large wood is incomprehensible to them.

They followed behind Gongsun Xu and watched intently as Gongsun Xu ordered the stone to be thrown.

Seeing that everything was ready, Gongsun continued to hold his breath and wave his hand heavily.

Seeing Gongsun Xu's signal to start the demonstration, Lu Shen commanded his craftsman Zhang Ye and asked him to follow the instructions given by Gongsun Xu before and suddenly loosen the hook of the activity.

As soon as the hook was loosened, the entire crossbar was directly pulled up by the winch, and more than 100 catties of stones flew out.

The people around Gongsun Xu were all startled, their eyes were round, and their hearts were full of incomprehension.

They didn't understand how the more than 100 pounds of stones could fly out of the wood when they saw the crossbar on the trebuchet move.

This kind of thing turns their minds upside down.

Just as they were dumbfounded, the stone in the trebuchet drew a parabola in the air and flew off into the distance.

"Such a big rock actually flew out! It's just amazing. ”

"Did you see how it flew out? Why can't I understand it? ”

"Yes! This thing is also too terrifying! If it hits someone, I'm afraid it will be able to smash people into meatloaf directly. ”

Just when everyone was commenting, they only heard "Bang! With a bang, the stone flew some distance and then slammed into the ground, and the earth splashed, smashing out a large crater ten centimeters deep.

Everyone watched in amazement at the effect of the trebuchet, and they did not come back to their senses for a long time, and this unknown thing really surprised them.

Although there are well-informed generals like Zhao Yun among them, and there are veterans of a hundred battles, they have never seen such a sharp weapon.

At this time, the soldier who ran out to measure the distance thrown by the trebuchet quickly ran over from a distance, and quickly knelt down on one knee, raised his head and arched his hand, and said, "Young Master, the stone flies out one hundred and thirty steps." ”

"It's amazing that this thing can make such a heavy stone fly out so far, it's the first time I've seen such a powerful killing weapon when I've grown so big."

"What a miracle! It is definitely not an exaggeration to describe this thing as a miracle, once this thing is used on the battlefield, even the enemy's general will inevitably die! ”

Gongsun Xu heard the words of the entourage beside him, and his heart burst into amusement.

Now this trebuchet is the most rudimentary model, and it has not reached a tenth of what he had in mind.

This trebuchet would be of little use if it was used to siege a city or do something else.

Not to mention that the distance of this trebuchet throwing stones made Gongsun Xu dissatisfied, but the quasi-head made Gongsun Xu speechless.

Where is this the quasi-head that a trebuchet should have! It's just, it's thirty steps away from the target set by Gongsun Xu, and this kind of quasi-head is simply a word "scum".

It took these craftsmen so long to get such a waste, and Gongsun Xu's heart was very depressed.

But what! Gongsun continued to think that in this era, being able to make trebuchets at such a speed is already a great scientific and technological progress.

Just made such a trebuchet at the beginning, and there will be great development in the follow-up!

The prototype of the trebuchet is made, and the rest is improved, as long as they can make it according to their own ideas, they are worried that they will not be able to make a good trebuchet.

Regarding this request to go to Xiangping, which is now Liaoyang, to fight Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, Gongsun Xu was not very sure in his heart before.

After all, Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun had nearly 5,000 soldiers in Xiangping, and Nanlin and his men were not far from Xiangping at this time, so the pressure on him was very huge.

However, as soon as this trebuchet's big killer came out, Gongsun Xu's heart immediately became full of confidence.

Unlike modern people, they had a natural fear of new and strange things, and as long as he could make dozens of trebuchets in a short period of time, these trebuchets alone could collapse Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's soldiers.
