Some time ago, Yu Buzhi found an all-iron arrow in the war zone, which was amazingly powerful, but expensive. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Considering the cost problem, and after the end of the battle against Dong Zhuo, the supply channel of all-iron arrows was interrupted, Yu Buzhi notified the deputy city lord Yi Feng who stayed behind, asking if the territory could make all-iron arrows. Yi Feng found Pu Yuan and said about it, Pu Yuan thought that there was no big problem in technology, and the development was successful.

All iron arrows were made, but Pu Yuan was not happy at all.

When Yi Feng asked him to make arrows, he once mentioned that the territory had never been able to make crossbows, and in order to improve the deterrence of the enemy, he relied heavily on the poisonous arrows of the flying army. Yi Feng was unintentional, everyone knows that the crossbow making technology is very high-end, and it is normal for the player's territory to not be able to make a crossbow, and there is no one in the territory that can make crossbows.

But Pu Yuan was on his mind.

Pu Yuan has been joining the territory for a long time.

The earlier the villagers who joined the territory, the deeper the feelings for the territory, everyone is the beneficiary of high salaries and benefits, and in a troubled world where whether or not they can survive is like a luxury, the stability and affluent life provided by the villagers are precious.

Compared with ordinary deer chasers, Pu Yuan has more gratitude for the territory.

When he was rescued from the level 8 cottage by the Deer Chasing Army, the Deer Chasing Territory was still only a second-level village, and the village-level territory attacked the 8-level cottage with full troops, which was not much different from sending it to death, and the Deer Chasing Leader did it. For a long time after being sent to the territory, Pu Yuan was full of emotion about the miraculous escape, like a dream.

He has a strong sense of belonging to the territory.

Pu Yuan is even more grateful to those who directly participated in the rescue of him.

Xu Shu is like this.

Fish are not wise.

The same is true for Bird Di and Zhao Feng.

Pu Yuan is a blacksmith, and the way he returns his territory is by working hard at his post. He showed amazing strength and made rapid progress to become the number one blacksmith.

In order to make the territory better stand in troubled times, he is willing to do his best.

The absence of crossbow arrows has become a bottleneck restricting the combat effectiveness of the Zhulu Army, and it seems that the problem is very serious. As a good blacksmith, it would be a dereliction of duty to allow this situation to continue to plague the territory!

Pu Yuan was determined to conquer the crossbow control technique.

The all-iron arrow gave him some confidence, if the all-iron arrow could be imitated successfully, why couldn't the crossbow?

As long as you can understand the principle, combined with the blacksmith skills to reverse the deduction, the cracking idea is so simple!

Imitation, first to find the real thing.

Crossbows first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, and after hundreds of years of development, folk crossbows have been inherited in some places. It's just that due to the limitations of materials, technology and talents, the quality of folk crossbows is relatively poor, the power and range are greatly reduced, and the failure rate of crossbows is very high, which is embarrassing and useful.

There are no crossbows made by government-run workshops in the territory, but there are quite a few earthen crossbows used by the people.

For example, the white bamboo crossbow is sold to players as purple equipment, which is a real weapon in the hands of the people. Not only do the tribes have crossbows, but many of the tribes have a tradition of making crossbows for hunting or fighting. The Wudang Flying Army, which is composed of Yimin, has earthen crossbows, mostly made of bamboo and wood, with a range of only dozens of steps, and its stability is not satisfactory, so it is only a few flying troops habitually carrying, and the actual combat value is not high.

Although the quality of the earth crossbow is not good, it is enough to use it as a reference.

Pu Yuan decided to ask Yimin to borrow a crossbow to take a look, and it just so happened that Quan Tiejian also needed to ask Yimin for help.

The province crafts all iron arrows to supply the Wudang Flying Army.

Wudang Feijun was born in Yimin, and before joining the army, he mostly hunted in the mountains, and was accustomed to using poisoned arrows, and the same was true for all-iron arrows. It's okay to let the equipment center make all-iron arrows, but to let them build all-iron poison arrows is really beyond their capabilities, and it is difficult for some strongmen. Fortunately, the Yiren poison arrow technology comes from the hunters from generation to generation, and there are many people who lead the Yi, and Yi Feng found some old hunters to cooperate with Pu Yuan.

Pu Yuan proposed to borrow a crossbow, and the people of Yi happily obeyed, and several pairs of bamboo and wooden crossbows were sent, without duplicates.

Pu Yuan began to study bamboo and wood crossbows.

The principle of a crossbow machine is not complicated.

A crossbow machine is a bow equipped with an arm, which is mainly composed of parts such as a crossbow arm, a crossbow bow, a bowstring, and a crossbow machine. According to the different methods of Zhang Xian, the crossbow of the Han Dynasty can be divided into arm crossbow, stepping crossbow and waist crossbow, etc., there is also a crossbow that can be fired continuously during the Warring States period, but the loading is very troublesome, and the slow firing speed seriously affects its practicability.

The Tension Crossbow and the Waist Tension Crossbow are so powerful that they are more suitable for the type of siege equipment than individual equipment. Pu Yuan is more pragmatic, and the main direction of attack is relatively simple, and it is suitable for individual equipment.

After many days, there is always something to gain.

Then it's time to ask the carpenters in the equipment center to help make parts, assemble, debug, and improve......

Many failures, many pushbacks.

Pu Yuan finally launched the first version of the crossbow machine: the crossbow machine No. 1.

The new type of crossbow machine developed by Pu Yuan has a relatively simple structure, small size, and the range of the crossbow machine is only 50 steps, which is slightly stronger than the hand crossbow and bamboo crossbow, far inferior to the conventional standard crossbow machine produced by the government-run workshop, and even inferior to the range of ordinary archers, and the power is also very average.

At first glance, the new crossbow machine is useless.

But in fact, this crossbow machine has two very outstanding advantages.

First: stable structure.

The crossbow machine is launched by the machine, and the arrows are fixed on the crossbow body for a long time before launching, and the crossbow body parts have been in a state of stress from the moment the crossbow arrows are loaded and fixed on the crossbow body. This makes the crossbow structure easy to cause problems due to fatigue, even if the standard crossbow machine from the government-run workshop, the failure rate is relatively high, and it often needs to be repaired.

The failure of the crossbow machine in the battle is not a bad joke, but an ironclad fact.

Stable structure is an important prerequisite for Pu Yuan to develop crossbow machines.

Pu Yuan is a newborn calf and has no mindset. He fine-tuned the arc of the crossbow arm, and the difference was not visible to the naked eye, but the structure of the parts became more stable, and the results of high-intensity test firing showed that the failure rate of the crossbow machine No. 1 was about half of the finished product of the government-run workshop.

Second: fast reloading.

Compared with the most common standard crossbow and bow, the crossbow has many advantages such as longer range, stronger lethality, higher hit rate, and lower requirements for the user, but the crossbow is laborious and time-consuming to be rewound after launch, the reloading time is much longer than the bow, and the firing frequency is slow.

Ballista 1 is much easier to reload.

Pu Yuan boldly adjusted the traditional arc of the crossbow arm, not only to make the crossbow structure more stable, but also to make it easier to reload. The results of the test firing showed that in the hands of a skilled operator, the ratio of the shooting frequency of the crossbow machine No. 1 to the archer was about 2:3, that is, the archer fired three rounds, and the crossbowman could shoot two rounds.

The results were a shock to everyone.

Such a fast firing frequency is enough to change the crossbowman's regular tactics!

With these two advantages alone, the Crossbow Machine 1 is fully qualified to be called a stunning work.

Of course, there are obvious problems with the crossbow machine No. 1, the range and power cannot meet the actual combat requirements, but the new crossbow machine structure developed by Pu Yuan solves the two most criticized problems of the crossbow machine, which can be called a major breakthrough in crossbow technology. As long as we continue to study in this direction and develop a new version with a longer range and greater power, the future of the new crossbow machine is bright.

It is not difficult to increase the range and power, just increase the pull of the crossbow.

The experience of traditional crossbow making has long been proven that increasing the strength of the material and expanding the size of the mechanism can strengthen the tension of the crossbow, thereby increasing the range and power. Of course, the actual operation will not be so simple, after all, the crossbow machine No. 1 is not a mini size, and while increasing the size of the crossbow machine, it is necessary to consider suitable for individual use, and Pu Yuan must find a balance point.

The actual combat value of the crossbow machine No. 1 is limited, and upgrading is an inevitable trend.

The standard crossbow machine of the government-run workshop can give Pu Yuan some reference.

The more famous bronze crossbow machine of the Han Dynasty is divided into ten grades according to the range and strength, ranging from 1 stone to 15 stones, among which the six-stone crossbow is the most common, which can shoot about 260 meters. Historical materials refer to crossbows of more than 10 stones as "rhubarb", indicating that strong crossbows with greater power can be called rhubarb crossbows. Among them, the "Warring States Policy" records that 12 stone crossbows can shoot 600 steps.

After Yu Buzhi returned to the territory, he saw Pu Yuan for the first time.

He spoke highly of the revolutionary breakthrough of the new crossbow machine.

Pu Yuan was flattered, his face was red.

Looking at Pu Yuan, who was standing in front of him and looked extremely nervous and excited, Yu Buzhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: There are such powerful characters in my brother's territory, but do you dare to be a little more shy?

Praise is followed by expectation.

The requirements of the lord of Zhulu for Pu Yuan were clear: to give priority to the development of a new type of crossbow machine suitable for individual combat.

Yu Buzhi said earnestly: "Master Pu, if the new crossbow machine wants to become the standard equipment of the Zhulu Army, the range and power should at least not be worse than that of the archers." ”

Pu Yuan nodded vigorously, saying that he would step up research and development, and strive to install the new crossbow machine as soon as possible.

The development of the crossbow machine requires a lot of patience, but the excellent performance of the original version of the new crossbow machine makes everyone look forward to the improved version.

The new crossbow machine represents a leap forward in crossbow-making technology, and it is logical for Pu Yuan to be promoted to a master blacksmith.

Pu Yuan's promotion also solved a problem that had plagued the Zhulu Collar for a long time: the top blacksmith shop could be used.

Yi Feng, who had been anxious about this matter, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer had to worry about the construction progress of the territory reaching the standard, but due to the lack of master blacksmiths, the extreme situation that the territory could not be upgraded appeared.

Some time ago, the territory bet on the battle against Dong Zhuo.

After the Flying Fish Leader and the Zhulu were attacked, Yu Buzhi never recalled the attack legion, and having made arrangements in advance and having confidence in the Zhulu Army was of course the main reason, but Yi Feng knew best that the lord was always unwilling to easily recall the attack army, that is, he didn't want to give up the national campaign easily, and dreamed of obtaining the much-needed high-level talent promotion drawings in the battle, artificially giving birth to a master-level blacksmith. Fortunately, Pu Yuan naturally advanced, eliminating a huge hidden danger on the road to the development of the deer leader.

After Pu Yuan left, Yi Feng continued to report the latest situation of the territory to Yu Buzhi.

The first is the progress of the Territory Building.

In addition to the completion of the upgrade of the top blacksmith shop, the gallop road project was also completed.

There are two more buildings that have yet to be completed for the realm upgrade: the primary arsenal and the secondary stone wall.

The dual-system skilled talents needed by the primary arsenal have been trained by the territory a long time ago, and dozens of middle and senior skilled talents have been invested to learn the second skill, and only need to successfully impact the intermediate talents once. So far, it has gone smoothly, and five craftsmen who have participated in the training have reached the intermediate level in their second occupation, but it is not a "blacksmith + carpenter" combination, and I believe that it will not be long before more craftsmen will break through.

The second-level stone city wall only burns money more powerfully, and there are no other bottlenecks.

The stone city wall project has never been stalled due to financial reasons, and the construction progress can be seen changing every day, and most of it has been completed, and it is only a matter of time before it is completed.

Subsequently, Yu Buzhi asked about the situation of Ba County Taishou Mansion.

In the name of responding to the call to discuss Dong Zhuo, Zhao Bu made it inconvenient for Liu Yan to suddenly attack him and deprive him of the position of Bajun Taishou, which was the result that Yu Buzhi and Zhao Bu could have imagined before making a plan.

According to Yu Buzhi's original plan, it was naturally impossible for Zhao Bu to really go to Luoyang to participate in the war, first pull up the banner to buy some time for himself, and then sneak into Baihu Mountain to create the illusion of disappearance. The two agreed that Liu Yan should exercise restraint at least until the results of the campaign against Dong Zhuo were decided. Zhao Bu lurked in the Zhulu Territory, one to confuse the Yizhou Mansion, and the other to secretly add an insurance for the Zhulu Territory, which was empty of troops, and if there was something, he would come out, and continue to nest if he had nothing to do, and then run out after the battle, and find an excuse to explain the disappearance.

The first excuse I came up with was that it was too far.

The Yizhou government is definitely unwilling to accept it, but it is a fact that the road is far away......

This time, the Kwantung princes rallied against Dong Zhuo with great momentum, unless the princes' camp was defeated, Liu Yan would definitely weigh it carefully before moving the Zhao department. The liquidation of Zhao is likely to offend all the princes of Guandong, so it is better to let him continue to be the Taishou of Bajun, and then find an opportunity to slowly figure it out.

This is the outcome that Zhao Bu wants to see the most.

Zhao Bu originally thought that he could hide peacefully until the end of the battle, and from his point of view, the strength of the Zhulu Leader was so strong, and those who dared to pull out their teeth should not have been born yet. But he didn't expect that Zhululing would be attacked, forcing him to get out of White Tiger Mountain.

was forced to show up, and the original wishful thinking did not make a loud sound.

disappeared for so long, and went to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but the result is still in Ba County, are you embarrassed to respond to the call?

Under normal circumstances, Zhao would be forced to really leave Bajun and lead his troops to Luoyang.

Regardless of whether he can catch up with the big war in time, no matter what the outcome of the battle is, returning to Ba County can only be delusional.

Fortunately, Cao Yin, the Taishou of Wuling, participated in the siege of Zhulu Ling, and Zhao had sufficient reasons to stay in Bajun to investigate the incident of "Dong Zhuo's henchmen crossing the border to sneak attack the princes", and the Kwantung princes also publicly issued a statement of support, which gave Zhao a little more confidence.

However, the person in charge of Yizhou Mansion is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Liu Yan is very good at political struggle, and leading troops to fight may not be comparable to Zhao Bu, but when it comes to political struggle, he will definitely throw Zhao Bu more than a dozen streets. Although Zhao regarded himself as a victim, and the princes of the Eastern Regions supported him, he played with Liu Yan and did not necessarily have good fruits to eat.

This is indeed the case.

The Yizhou government claimed that there was no conclusive evidence that Cao Yin's entry into Ba County was instructed by Dong Zhuo, and that the incident was not necessarily a dispute between the Kwantung princes and Dong Zhuo's camp, or Cao Yin's private behavior, and that the Yizhou and Jingzhou governments had reached an agreement to jointly investigate the matter thoroughly. The Yizhou government advised Zhao to focus on the overall situation and immediately set off to Sili to participate in the war, saying that the state government would send troops into the territory of Ba County to ensure that Ba County would not be attacked by Cao Yin again.

Zhao Band flatly refused.

The Yizhou government accused Zhao of being selfish, and Chen Bing confronted the Bajun army at the border, and the atmosphere was very tense for a while.

Yu Buzhi smiled bitterly.

Things have come to this point, Zhao Bu has only one way to hold on, and he has no other way.
