Chapter 547, Faulty?
A three-bow bed crossbow malfunctioned.
In this regard, Luo Ji did not comment much.
Instead, he motioned for the goblins to continue firing a salvo.
On the battlefield, you can't stop the offensive just because of the failure of a three-bow bed crossbow.
It turned out to be at the time of the sixth salvo.
Another three-bow bed crossbow lost its ability to attack due to a broken bracket.
There were more and more beads of sweat on Jiang Zhan's forehead.
And Luo Ji still has that calm face.
Then came the ninth salvo, and a three-bow bed crossbow almost fell apart because it couldn't bear the load.
At the same time, several goblins who were operating the three-bow bed crossbow were injured in the process.
This time the trial.
Luo Ji made a total of twenty rounds of salvos.
At the end of the day, six of the ten three-bow bed crossbows were out of order.
The ones with less faulty faults, with a simple repair, can quickly be put back into the war.
As for the serious failure, it will fall apart directly.
The remaining four were quite strong.
Let Luo fully realize the probability of failure, and it really depends on his face.
At this moment, Jiang Zhan's heart could be said to be extremely worried.
I'm afraid that Luo Ji will be dissatisfied with this result.
However, the fact is that Luo Ji thinks it's okay.
Because in a normal siege battle.
It is simply impossible for the siege machine to have a chance to attack for twenty rounds.
Ten rounds of attacks is too much.
Unless the opposite player can't hold on.
Otherwise, there will be no ten rounds at all.
The enemy's infantry and cavalry units will be killed.
The reason why Luo Ji let them carry out twenty rounds of attacks this time.
It's just because it's an experiment.
A few words of encouragement to Jiang Zhan were simply encouraged.
and gave him some money.
Luo Ji pondered in his heart again, and then spoke again......
"In short, this fragile version of the three-bow bed crossbow and the catapult, let's build ten more each, and after the construction is completed, you will go and assist the people in the ordnance department to make the normal version of the hand crossbow."
For his crossbow troops, Luo Ji resolutely still remembered it.
When subduing the goblin civilization, he also captured a lot of crossbows.
But those hand crossbows are basically blessed with the 'Goblin Technology' BUFF.
And what he needs more now is a normal version of a hand crossbow.
'Goblin Technology' is a double-edged sword.
With good use, he can make and send a large number of ordnance and crossbow troops with low prices and costs, and instantly crush the opposite side with absolute numbers.
Just like Gawain had always done before.
But once you encounter bad luck, the equipment in your hand frequently malfunctions.
That's not going to make people happy.
Therefore, Luo Ji had an idea in his heart.
That is, the vulnerable version of the ordnance and the normal version of the ordnance should be brought, and a relatively safe ratio should be determined.
Let's say a normal three-bow bed crossbow with three racks, while the vulnerable version of a three-bow bed crossbow with seven racks.
In this way, out of ten three-bow bed crossbows, at least three can be guaranteed to be reliable.
And in that not-so-reliable seven.
Even if it is unlucky, it is half of the direct failure.
He also had at least five or six three-bow bed crossbows in his hand that could be used.
It's the same with the crossbowmen.
1,000 crossbowmen, 500 crossbowmen use the normal version, and 500 crossbowmen use the vulnerable version.
While taking a certain risk, it can also ensure a part of the stable combat power.
This can be said to be a relatively safe approach.
Of course, the level of goblin technology must also be raised quickly.
It's better to lower the probability of failure.
Just when Luo Ji was thinking about it.
Ye Xuan, who was still studying those fragile versions of three-bow bed crossbows a moment ago.
At the next moment, he hurriedly ran over.
"Your Majesty, I also brought a new weapon to test this time, do you want to take a look?"
"New weapons?"
Hearing this, Luo Ji raised his eyebrows slightly.
After thinking about it carefully, he found that he really didn't know what Ye Xuan was studying recently......
At the same time, Ye Xuan's words came out.
The craftsmen of the Ordnance Department and Jiang Zhan, who was about to leave, also stopped at this moment.
Jiang Zhan, who had just had not achieved very satisfactory results in the test.
It's just a posture to see what new results can be produced on the human side.
In this regard, Luo Ji was also very curious.
So it was quite simply expressed......
"Okay, if you have any new weapons, let's get them out quickly."
On the side of the Ordnance Research Department, it is obviously well prepared, just waiting for Luo Ji's words.
After getting Luo Ji's permission.
As the deputy minister, Zhao Lei hurriedly commanded the members of the department to move out the props prepared in advance.
I saw them in order to add to the demonstration effect of the new weapon.
even deliberately simulated the phalanx on the battlefield, and made a scarecrow in the costume of a soldier.
At a glance, there are hundreds of them.
The battle was quite big.
It made everyone's hearts rise a little obvious expectation.
And Luo Ji, who was sitting there, had a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.
In the flash of thought, a three-bow bed crossbow made by the Ordnance Production Department was already pushed up.
The distance was quite far away, and Luo Ji couldn't see it very clearly for a while.
However, looking at this stance, it is obvious that the three-bow bed crossbow has been improved to a certain extent.
"Your Majesty, can you begin?"
Zhao Lei asked with a red face, obviously full of confidence in the new weapon.
"Let's get started."
After Luo Ji nodded.
As the demonstration order was given, the members of the department who were in charge of operating the three-bow bed crossbow in the distance suddenly moved their hands.
Most of these ordnance weapons are the work of members of the Research Department and the Production Department.
So they are not formally trained soldiers though.
But when they operated the three-bow bed crossbow one by one, they were also quite skilled.
It didn't take long.
With a buzzing sound, the three-bow bed crossbow in the distance was already firing.
Everyone's curious gaze quickly followed the heavy crossbow arrows that flew out and quickly fell towards the scarecrow phalanx in the distance.
At this moment, the unexpected happened!
I saw that the heavy crossbow arrow flying in the air actually cracked with a 'bang'.
Jiang Zhan, who saw this scene, almost laughed out loud.
It's just that something is wrong with the new weapon researched by the Human Ordnance Department.
In the development and production of new weapons.
It's normal for failures and breakdowns to occur.
But this failed scene was seen by His Majesty the Emperor.
That's not good.
However, just when Jiang Zhan was thinking so.
I haven't had time to completely fall into my mind.
The unexpected happened again!
I saw that the inside of the cracked heavy crossbow arrow was like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, and in the blink of an eye, a large area of even smaller arrows flew out.
With just one breath, a small rain of arrows formed in the air!
Then he swept the scarecrow phalanx below mercilessly!
