Chapter 220: Repeating the Crossbow

Huang Zu and Huang Jun, that is, Huang Chengyan, although they are both sons of the Huang family, their relationship is not very good.

After Huang Zu became the head of the Huang family, Huang Chengyan left home to study in Luoyang, and the two were even more neglected, but Huang Chengyan's wife passed away when he was studying, leaving behind his daughter Huang Yueying, who was still young, Huang Zu took care of him, and when Dong Zhuo caused trouble in Luoyang, Huang Jun returned to Jingzhou, and the relationship between the two also improved greatly.

However, there was something that made Huang Jun very dissatisfied, that is, the marriage between the Cai family and Liu Biao - Huang Chengyan's wife was born in the Cai family, and she is Cai Qiujia, Cai Qiujia, and now the sister of "Mrs. Cai", so Liu Biao is still Huang Yueying's uncle.

Huang Jun was out of breath to study, and he couldn't see his wife for the last time, and he has always regretted it, and Mrs. Cai and Cai Shuang begged Huang Jun before marrying Liu Biao, wanting to refuse this family business, after all, no matter how handsome and talented Liu Biao is, he was already forty and eight when he came to Jingzhou, and his sons were older than Cai Shuang, and the original partner died a few years ago.

After Huang Jun was entrusted, he walked around among the Nanjun Cai, Huang, and Kuai families, after all, it was said that they were married, but in fact, it was just a "ceremony" for the Nanjun family to join forces with Liu Biao and seize the interests of Jingzhou.

However, in the end, he not only failed to convince his father-in-law and brother, but also ...... Everyone knew that Huang Jun had a stubborn temper and was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he pretended to agree, so Huang Jun also told Cai Shuang not to worry.

As a result, Cai Shuang finally married Liu Biao, and even Huang Jun didn't know it on the day of the wedding banquet, seeing Cai Shuang looking at him resentfully, Huang Jun was stunned.

After that, Huang Jun directly took Huang Yueying to leave the Huang family land and went to Nanyang to settle down, and he had no contact with Huang Zu for seven or eight years.

Hearing that Huang Zu was in trouble, only Huang Yueying quietly rushed over, and ...... And only by the way.

It's just that...... Although Huang Zu knows some strange things about Huang Yueying, he hasn't seen her for two years, and he hasn't had much contact with her in the past seven or eight years, and now Huang Yueying is only seventeen years old, and Huang Zu still sees her as the yellow-haired girl, so naturally he doesn't think she can help anything.

"I heard that the reason why the uncle was beaten by the general's mansion before, was frightened, trembling, and embarrassed...... Did you lose on the ship? Huang Yueying asked in one breath.

"There's something to talk about! No need for so many adjectives! Huang Zu couldn't help but be angry.

"Then I have a way to cut off this disadvantage of my uncle." Huang Yueying continued unconcernedly.

"What? Could it be that you have drawings of the building ship warship? Ancestor Huang's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head and sighed: "No, what's the use of having drawings now?" ...... that I didn't have time to make"

"No, it's not shipbuilding that was built in time...... It's about making a crossbow! That old thing with a little white face is quite generous. Uncle, you have a lot of ready-made bowstrings, bow arms, and ordinary crossbows, right? Huang Yueying asked.

"Don't learn from your father! So rude...... What do you mean by 'old stuff'? That's your uncle! Huang Zu reprimanded.

"Huh? Did I say it was Liu Biao? Huang Yueying pretended to look left and right.

"You all said 'little white face', which old thing can it be?" Huang Zu said solemnly.

However, Huang Yueying had already gone to get the pastries from the guest seat at this time, and then ...... He lifted the veil that had been covering his eyes and turned it upside down on his eyes, revealing the lower half of his face, and then stuffed pastry into his exposed mouth.

Huang Zu: ......

For his niece's bewildering behavior from time to time, Huang Zu is no longer surprised.

"The rate of fire of a crossbow is not as fast as that of a short bow, and the rate of fire is not as fast as that of a longbow...... In fact, the cliffs on both sides of the strait have been equipped with heavy crossbows and stones, but as long as the opponent's infantry fights together and cannot form a flanking attack, Jiangxia is in danger and Huang's is in danger! Huang Zu said and looked at Huang Yueying.

The latter also knew that the uncle was not expecting her, but hoping that her father would come back.

"Uncle, you're okay! I think that with Bai Gong's temperament, Jiang Xia fell into his hands, and the people were afraid that it would be too late to be happy, and the Huang family would not die because of you, so you can rest assured. Huang Yueying said with a roll of her eyes.

Although Huang Yueying had a good relationship with her uncle when she was a child, otherwise she would not have come now, but ...... The one who has a better relationship with her is her aunt.

"You ......" Huang Zu suspected that she was deliberately angry with herself.

"Didn't I say that I can use my crossbow to temporarily match the opponent's boat on the water, and if I can't hold it, then ...... Kindness. Huang Yueying didn't say much, just handed over the drawings to Huang Zu.

"What's the use of a few more crossbows? Have you ever seen that ship, which carries soldiers and catharsis arrows five or six times faster than a ship, and is much stronger......" Huang Zu still complained.

However, after looking at the drawing on the drawing, which belonged to the column of "how to use", Huang Zu's eyes lit up and said: "Can you shoot seven shots in a row?" Seriously? ”

"You can shoot up to twelve rounds in a row, but Jiangxia's bow and crossbow material is not good, and it is too late to remanufacture, so I use the existing bowstring, machine bracket, and crossbow arm to modify, and seven rounds is already the limit." Huang Yueying said.

When Huang Zu heard this, he stood up directly, walked around the military tent twice, and then called a partial general, and directly asked him to send the drawings back to Echeng, urgently supervise the construction, use all the manpower that can be used, and if it is not enough, it will be overdrawn immediately!

The five-toothed big ship, Huang Zu can't build it.

Rebuilding a shipwreck with comparable "firepower"? It's too late!

However, being able to use a repeater to increase the firepower of individual soldiers several times can also have a similar effect......

"Crossbow boxes are complicated to make, so they are slow to load arrows; After a single excitation, seven arrows will shoot in a row, unable to stop halfway, and the accuracy is very poor; Other than that...... The wear and tear of the bracket is very serious, and if it is used for about ten times, there will be the possibility of complete stuckness, especially after twenty times, and the maximum service life is not more than thirty times. Huang Yueying said the weakness of the repeater in a row.

"It's okay, now is not the time to talk about that." Huang Zu also understands that only by delaying can there be a "future".

"No, I want to tell Uncle that I'll be watching from the rear to see if there's anything worth improving." Huang Yueying said.

Huang Zu always felt as if he had been reduced to an experiment, but at this time he had no other choice.

"That's right! Uncle, I'm here to help you, and if my father comes to me later, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge. Huang Yueying reminded.

"Don't worry, your father can't find me." How could Huang Zu not know that Huang Jun would not see him at all.

"That's the best ......," Huang Yueying muttered in a low voice.

Huang Zu felt a little strange, and wondered if there was something else in it - Huang Yueying was free-range when she was a child, and her father wouldn't discipline her too much.

When Cai Shuang married Liu Biao, it was the unanimous decision of several scholars in Nanjun, not to mention that Cai Yan personally promoted it, but ...... After all, because of this matter, Huang Yueying and him no longer have the intimacy they had as a child, so it is inconvenient for him to ask more.

On the other hand, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have also ordered troops again, this time by land and water, and the land foot cavalry has also followed, and they are camping step by step, with a posture of completely capturing Jiangxia......
