readx;?? The crossbow of this platoon crossbow is not the crossbow of the bed crossbow, because of this, there is this range, and although it is a new way in terms of loading method, it has been tested by the personnel of Liaodong Military Manufacturing, because of layout restrictions, this loading method is still unable to carry out the attack method of rapid loading and then shooting again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info [first release]

Because of this, after Zhang Jiashi received this kind of ballista that only produced ten for combat test effect, he did not let Liaodong Military Construction carry out follow-up production, because after seeing the demonstration of these testers, he knew very well that this kind of thing was more like the kind of rocket artillery in later generations, which was difficult to use in head-on combat.

Of course, without knowing what the real results were, Zhang Jiashi still couldn't make up his mind to let these crossbow trucks be abandoned. After all, even if there are only ten ballistae, the cost of such a ballista is worth a lot. On average, a crossbow cart is equivalent to about twenty gold, and Zhang Jiashi doesn't have the courage to waste two hundred and fifty gold at once.

......

As a weapon, the place where their value can be best demonstrated is always on the battlefield.

The officers and men operating these rows of crossbow trucks put the rows of crossbows in their hands directly on the card slot, and then several soldiers struggled to shake the rockers of the lifting platform, so that the three rows of crossbows of the crossbow trucks were facing the sky at an angle of about 25 degrees. Then, several soldiers standing in the back pressed the winch switch that was used to pull and hold the crossbow string together.

After a loud "pop" sound, three hundred crossbows were quickly thrown into the sky by the crossbow strings.

The crossbows that are more "sparse" among the crossbowmen are different, and the crossbows fired by these crossbow trucks can be regarded as relatively concentrated. For example, a chariot in front of the Chu army that had been inserted with a lot of arrows, but was still charging forward, after a few seconds, the driver found that three crossbows had directly shot him, and before he lost consciousness, he even felt a sharp pain in his body again.

This can also be regarded as an advantage of these crossbowmen, that is, the crossbow fired by the same crossbow may not be as powerful as a crossbow fired by a strong crossbowman. However, at a distance of two or three hundred meters, the crossbows fired from the front and rear did not have much shooting error, which was also recorded by some personnel responsible for observing the effect.

They are arguably the most dangerous men in the entire army, because they do not have weapons in their hands, but paper money that records data. In fact, there are still many people like them in Liaodong's military construction. However, often only the rather unlucky guys are assigned to the battlefield to be responsible for this record.

Of course, they weren't alone, on the contrary, there was a heavy infantry guarding them by the side of a recorder.

But on the battlefield, how much protection does such a little person have, this matter...... Only God knows.

Even if a crossbow is designed to be loaded in a way that is fixed with a slot and a crossbar, and there are some personnel to help it, its loading speed is not too fast.

According to the test data of Liaodong Military Construction, this reloading method takes more than 30 seconds to complete, even if it is operated by skilled crossbowmen. Such a data can only be obtained without errors.

Nangong Qi's mind was not on this thing, if he knew such a situation, he didn't know whether the evaluation of this weapon was good or bad.

At best, this crossbow seems to have some advantages over a single heavy crossbowman, both in terms of maneuverability and overall firepower output.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, this kind of ballista requires nearly ten people, including three drivers, and it is necessary to reach twelve people to be able to operate effectively. Moreover, the equipping of a bed ballista is not as simple as a separate carriage. Including the two carriages that transported personnel and supplies, the troop strength of one platoon of ballistae reached three carriages.

And not only that, the reliability of this type of ballista is even worse than that of a temporarily modified ballista.

After three or four shots, a platoon of crossbows on top of a platoon of crossbows began to fail.

The mechanical reliability of large-scale equipment has always been a problem for Zhang Jiashi and the personnel of Liaodong Military Manufacturing. It's not that Zhang Jiashi doesn't want to improve such a problem, but because of the lack of things such as rubber or lubricating oil refined from petroleum, Zhang Jiashi is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice.

Lubricating oil can also be used as a substitute for colloidal animal oil, which has been able to be mass-produced at a certain time. But rubber, if he has the chance, he plans to try his luck in that shabby place in Southeast Asia where birds don't now.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi didn't know one thing, that is, rubber trees from Southeast Asia were also imported. It was only in the mid-to-late 19th century that they were smuggled out of the jungle of Brazil.

In other words, even if Zhang Jiashi is in Southeast Asia, it is impossible to find such a thing. Perhaps, he will be able to make some crude oil products or something, and maybe he will be able to make some inferior artificial rubber products.

......

After taking control of Shangjun, Zhang Jiashi sent some accompanying monks, intending to look for oil or something.

After a period of busy work, these alchemists were indeed located in the northwest of Yan'an, at this time, only a few villages lived in a small basin, and found a surface oil field with unknown reserves, but they knew with their knees that there would not be too many reserves.

Zhang Jiashi asked these monks to mark this place, and he didn't plan to engage in such high-end things as drum oil now, because he himself knew very well, not to mention whether he had the foundation to make drum oil, even if it was time and direction, it made Zhang Jiashi very clear that he was not suitable for such a time to do this kind of thing.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi himself knows very well that once he has the opportunity, he will inevitably continue his research in this area.

If he had already made a lot of investments, and at this time he already had a good foundation in agriculture, which was the foundation of the entire Chinese nation, then the oil industry would have become an indispensable part of the wall that protected this foundation.

No matter how rich a country is, it is impossible for it to truly develop without sufficient military strength.

Perhaps, even after a few hundred years, things like steam engines, fuel engines, etc., are still in the mirror. But what Zhang Jiashi needs is not this kind of things that are too advanced, but some relatively simple things, such as asphalt and the like.

In the military, it is still difficult to completely replace artificial rubber, especially after Zhang Jiashi's conjecture, once there is a suitable artificial rubber, then the next thing will be much easier. The service life of many devices will be extended a lot, and the reliability will also be increased to a certain extent.

It can be said that after Zhang Jiashi's current battle, the value of the materials lost may even be higher than the materials used.

This kind of thing is difficult for Zhang Jiashi to accept, and he himself firmly believes that Xiao He, as his logistics housekeeper, is also difficult to accept such a fact.

It's like this kind of platoon crossbow car, although it did not become the target of the Chu army's light chariot soldiers and knight troops who were desperately rushing over, but after less than half an hour, almost all the thirty platoon crossbows failed, which can show that many things Zhang Jiashi did not want to happen, but there was nothing he could do to stop this situation.

War is certainly a very expensive thing, but Zhang Jiashi doesn't want his money to be wasted instead of being spent.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Zhou Bo was in a bad mood, and he found that his troops were simply unable to fight against Qin Gou, who was still outnumbered on the other side.

If Zhang Jiashi and Wang Li saw this scene, they might pat each other's shoulders: "Some things can't be compared like this." ”

The light chariot corps commanded by Zhou Bo this time is better in quality, except for the special crossbow chariots or something, the combat effectiveness of many Chu army chariots is not worse than that of the light chariot corps of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

However, there is a very important premise for the embodiment of the impact ability of the chariot troops, that is, you can rush through.

A considerable part of the equipment of the troops under the command of the Nangong period is the equipment of the Northern Army, but it does not mean that the troops under the command of the Nangong period are mainly the original shock vehicles.

On the contrary, in addition to understanding that Wang Li's evaluation of the heavy crossbow chariots in Liaodong County was quite high, Nangong Qi himself also replaced some of the chariot's equipment from light hand crossbows to heavy crossbows such as pouting crossbows.

Compared with the crossbow fighting vehicle units of the Liaodong Army, which can carry out mobile shooting at a certain forward speed, the crossbow fighting vehicles of these Northern Xinjiang Corps, if they want to do this, it is impossible to do it without a long period of training. However, in this kind of defensive combat method of the car formation, the crossbowmen of the Northern Frontier Army are not much worse than their robes.

Many of the chariots of the Chu army, whether they were armored horses or heavily armed troops, were able to resist a certain degree of bow and crossbow fire with low tension. But for heavy crossbows, even iron armor, the defensive capabilities of such crossbow arrows are lackluster.

Many of the chariots of the Chu army that were attacking were shot on their backs by the Qin army two or three hundred meters away on the opposite side on the road of charging.

In such a distance, more and more chariot units of the Chu army became tatters that were turned over and damaged.

These damaged vehicles, even to a large extent, became an obstacle to the charge of the vehicles behind.

And compared with these chariot troops, the knights of the Chu army are called a tragic urge.

Because these knights, both in quality and quantity, are far inferior to the thousands of knights under the command of Nangong Period.

There is no way to do this, even if Liu Bang wants to form a large army of knights, he doesn't have so many war horses to use.

And these four or five thousand Chu army knight troops, there is also a very fatal shortcoming, that is, these knights, there are not too many people who are proficient in equestrianism, and what is even worse is that even these Chu army knights who are proficient in equestrian arts, there are still very few people who can use archers' crossbows to shoot on their mounts.

A simple light cavalry cannot easily deal with the opposing archery troops in the event of a head-on conflict, and may even be suppressed by the opponent.

It was not the first time that Zhou Bo had fought with the knight troops of the Qin army, but even before Wuguan, Li You, the county guard of Sanchuan County, one of the biggest enemies that Liu Bang encountered, the knight troops under the command of the other party were not so scoundrels.

Zhou Bo hated the combat method of the Qin army knight troops on the opposite side, constantly shooting at a distance of about two hundred meters or riding on the spot, but he said to be honest, in fact, there was no good way to deal with such a situation.

Whenever the opponent shoots a wave of arrows at an effective distance, before his knight troops can react quickly, the opponent directly shoots a wave of arrows, and then retreats again.

The other party did this, so that they had no way to deal with it, on the one hand, it was something that made Zhou Bo helpless, and on the other hand, what made Zhou Bo feel helpless was not only that, but the other party's wave of arrows rained down, and the knights under his command, dozens of officers and soldiers, or even hundreds of people, would be shot off the horses.

Even if the people are fine, many of the mounts under their crotches have already fallen under the opponent's combat methods that are equivalent to attacks again and again.

Zhou Bo really wanted to kill all the Qin dogs in the Nangong period and on the other side. But if Nangong Qi knew about such a situation, he would say a word: "You stupid, you can do this." Is that your two or three thousand men able to rush over?"

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Opposite to the battle in which Zhou Bo and the troops of the Nangong period were in a stalemate and gradually fell into a downward trend, after Zhou Bo attracted the attention of the troops of the Nangong period, Fan Xu, Lu Shizhi, Lu Ze and other henchmen under Liu Bang were leading the army to besiege the Qin army camp in Xiaoshan on many sides.

Li Ping, Zhuang Guang and Zhu Ting all had to take turns to give their men time to rest, because the offensive of the Chu army did not stop.

Under this mode of warfare, the troops of the side with fewer men will naturally suffer even more losses. Moreover, the gap between the forces of the two sides is not one or two times, but several times.

In such a situation, they all wished that they and the officers and soldiers under their command could have a three-headed, six-armed and unlimited physical strength. Unfortunately, such a situation cannot happen.

The hillside below the barracks, and on the flat ground opposite the foot of the mountain, were covered with the corpses of an unknown number of Chu officers and soldiers.

But instead of retreating like this, the Chu army continued to trample on the corpses of their companions or the bodies of the seriously wounded, and continued to charge up the mountain.

The more than 5,000 defenders on the hill suffered heavy casualties. In particular, the more than 1,000 Beidi County soldiers under Zhu Ting's command faced enemies who seemed to be even crazier than the Huns and the Dayue clan.

Because even the Huns would not launch a decisive charge with them like this under such casualties.

Of course, if they knew that the Donghu people in the Battle of the Great Wall were in some sense crazier than the enemies they encountered, they didn't know how to feel in their hearts.

"Rush, !!"

Many officers of the Chu army took the lead, because Liu Bang gave an order, that is, the first person to rush into the camp was given five beauties and three hundred gold.

You must know that such a reward, for Liu Bang, can also be regarded as a blood-vomiting sale.

Liu Bang's family background is basically from the Lu family and plunder. To him, these things were like his own property.

Especially those beauties or something, they are Liu Bang's heart.

And in such a situation, Liu Bang even had to resort to such a trick:

There will be brave men under the great reward.

Of course, there are two sides to the matter of the brave man, that is, first, you can do it, and second, you have to have the life to enjoy the result.

Obviously, under the stubborn resistance of the Qin army on the mountain, more and more Chu officers and soldiers who were tempted fell on the ramp under the camp, which shows that this brave man is not so easy to be. At the very least, the dead can't enjoy the temptation to lose their understanding, and it shows that their luck is quite bad.

But there were still many more people who trampled on their corpses and charged forward.

And some Chu officers and soldiers who were only seriously injured and had not completely lost their vitality for a while, what they saw was that more people fell to the ground like them.

Many people may not die immediately, but they know that not many people will survive this temptation in the end.

Even, no one will get anything......

Many seriously injured Chu officers and soldiers who had similar thoughts finally woke up at this time, and what Liu Bang put in front of them was nothing more than a piece of painting cake that made them dizzy......

......

Zhuang Guang quickly poured a mouthful of water into his mouth, and it had not been two minutes since he stepped back from the front.

There are still many people who hurry up to drink water and eat something to recover their strength like him, but Zhuang Guang himself knows one thing, that is, many people will not wake up again.

"My lord, when will our reinforcements come, and the brethren are dying!" said one of the generals who had been shot in the arm by an arrow, and after an urgent halt to the bleeding, he continued to his position, and said this beside the hundred generals who had loaded the ballista with arrows.

Glancing at this subordinate who seemed to have some sadness and anger in his eyes, Zhuang Guang sighed softly: "I don't know either, but as long as one brother is still there, we must guard this place." ”

"I know that, but too many people ...... There was no way to see their wives and children anymore. Has the king forsaken us?"

This hundred generals said the rest of the words, and even couldn't help crying.

As this hundred generals said, many of the prisoners and officers whose families are still in Liaodong have no way to see their wives and children again.

Zhuang Guang slowly raised his head, looked at the sunset in the sky, and muttered: "The king did not abandon us, because if the king abandoned us, why did he desperately save us back then? Although we are not afraid of death, if we really die together like this, we are not reconciled!"

Maybe it was because he heard Zhuang Guang's words, or maybe it was because the remnants of the Xiaoshan camp defenders should not be killed, and after a while, more than 30,000 infantry led by Wang Li finally appeared in the northwest of Wuguan Road......

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a black-on-white Xuanniao flag and a large number of flags were reflected in the eyes of many people from far and near......
