Zhang Ren, as a general under the command of Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, is well aware of all kinds of siege equipment.

The catapult made by the craftsmen under Liu Zhang, a better catapult, can project seventy or eighty catties of stones, but the range is insufficient, because the weight of the stones is too large, resulting in the use of the catapult, the wear and tear is very serious. If it is used continuously, at the end of the day, a catapult will basically have to be repaired.

If it is thirty or forty catties of stones, it can ensure the range, and it can also greatly reduce the wear and tear of the catapult, but the attack power is not enough, and it is much weaker to bombard the city.

The catapult transferred by Liu Xiu seems to be a little different.

Zhang Ren asked: "Liu Jingzhou, the catapult under the mountain, what is the attack power and what is the range?"

For the catapult under the mountain, Zhang Ren was a little greedy in his heart. As long as there is one such catapult, then it can be imitated, and then the same catapult can be made to equip its own army.

As soon as Zhang Yi spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Liu Xiu.

A pair of eyes, with a look of curiosity.

Liu Xiu replied: "Ladies and gentlemen, this catapult is an improvement on the basis of the original catapult. The smallest stone used is about 100 catties, and the range is about 150 zhang. Attack powerIf such a catapult were to destroy a city, it would be easy. ”

"According to the results of the test, ten such catapults, if unaffected by the attack on the wall, can smash a hole in the wall for soldiers to enter the city for a maximum of two hours. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes were filled with endless pride.

That strong self-confidence shocked everyone present.

"Hiss"

When a person heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.

fear

It's horrible

If Liu Xiu used such a catapult to attack the city, then how could he resist it, it was simply a sharp weapon for siege, and it was completely very difficult to resist.

Zhuge Liang had a smile on his face, and he didn't feel how terrifying it was.

On the surface, such a catapult is a sharp weapon for siege, but Liu Xiu also said that if it is not affected, if it is affected, the situation will be different. So Zhuge Liang is not too worried.

Soon, all the catapults were arrayed under the hills.

At the foot of the hill, thirty catapults were placed, divided into three arrays, and each one was oriented in the direction of a hillside on the opposite side of the hill.

This hillside is not high, only about fifty zhang high, and the distance from Liu Xiu and others is about one hundred and sixty zhang. Judging from the location of the catapult, the position of the hillside is exactly about 150 zhang.

Yuan Ye, as the person in charge of the catapults, saw the catapults in place, the expression on his face became serious, he held a command flag in his hand, and ordered: "Prepare"

At the sound of an order, next to each catapult, two soldiers carried a hundred-pound stone, and then placed it neatly on the catapult.

Yuan Ye yelled: "Put"

As the sound fell, the command flag immediately fell.

"Bang Bang"

The catapult sprang into action, and the lever slammed into the horizontal axis with a loud sound. At the same time, the stones on the thirty catapults had already flown out quickly, cutting arcs in the air.

From Liu Xiu's point of view, he saw thirty black shadows skimming through the air, quickly rushing forward.

"Boom"

A loud bang shook the sky and resounded on the empty flat ground.

This sound is like a flat ground exploding thunder.

"Boom"

The sound of continuous impact continued to sound.

The dense impact sound made people's hearts tense.

Liu Xiu, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Renfuwan and others who were sitting on the mountain were extremely nervous, and their eyes widened, and they all held their breath, staring at the hillside one hundred and sixty zhang away.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

The hillside leaked out of the true face.

At this time, the hillside seemed to have been hit by an extraterrestrial meteorite, and it was full of craters. The original protruding top of the mountain seemed to have been destroyed by the thirty boulders.

The powerful impact force, as well as the unparalleled destructive power, made everyone's hearts nervous.

When they heard what Liu Xiu said before, they had an impression in their hearts. But after witnessing it with my own eyes, I really felt the destructive power of it.

Not resistible

It's too strong

In their hearts, such thoughts were born.

Zhang Ren and Fa Zheng looked at each other, both bowed slightly, and there was a consensus in their eyes. After seeing this scene, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile, and he was also very happy. In Fu Wan's eyes, the stronger Liu Xiu is, the greater the chance of defeating Cao Cao, and the greater the support given to the Son of Heaven.

In the hearts of Cheng Yu, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Zhao, they are already pulling out the cold.

Liu Xiu saw everyone's expressions, and he didn't need any words to stimulate him. Facts speak louder than words, and that's the best way to put it into account.

The catapult soldiers at the bottom of the hill quickly began to turn around, and then slowly left.

With a hint of curiosity in his eyes, Zhang Ren asked, "Liu Jingzhou, what else is behind the catapult?"

Liu Xiu replied, "And the last crossbowman"

"Crossbowmen"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ren and everyone's hearts became inexplicably nervous.

In terms of crossbowmen, what is special about Liu Xiu

In any battlefield, bows and arrows are indispensable, and archers are even great killers who cause casualties and delay the opponent's attack. But Liu Xiu's is not only an archer, but a bow and crossbow that is more lethal than a bow and arrow.

Compared with bows and arrows, bows and crossbows are inflexible and expensive, making it difficult for all soldiers to equip them, and not every soldier can equip them. However, since Liu Xiu is equipped with such a soldier, I am afraid it will not be simple.

"Wind"

"Wind"

Suddenly, a majestic roar came from afar.

The voice, high-pitched and sharp, seemed to bring a hint of edge. When it enters people's ears, people's eardrums are vibrated for bursts.

"Wind"

"Wind"

The shouts came in a steady stream.

"Stampede"

Neat footsteps, from far to near.

This situation immediately touched everyone's hearts.

In a few moments, a group of soldiers appeared in everyone's hearts.

This group of soldiers, fifty people in a row, a total of twenty platoons. In each row, two soldiers work in groups, one carrying a large yellow crossbow and the other carrying a crossbow arrow. Each bolt was five feet long, thicker than a thumb, and was forged from stainless steel.

The arrows of the crossbow arrows were sharp, flashing with an icy light.

This army is the crossbowmen.

This big yellow crossbow was made by Huang Yueying according to the ancient books of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and then Liu Xiu asked the craftsman workshop to start work according to the drawings and made the first batch of big yellow crossbows and crossbow arrows.

Zhang Ren's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Jingzhou, is this a soldier trained according to the Great Qin Bow Crossbow?"

There was a smile on the corner of Liu Xiu's mouth, and he said: "General Zhang's eyes are like torches, and this crossbow soldier is equipped with a rhubarb crossbow according to the ancient books of the pre-Qin Dynasty. This crossbowmen numbered a thousand. Now, please take a look. ”

"Wind"

"Wind"

The roar was getting closer and closer, and in a short time all the soldiers reached the bottom of the hill.

The leader is Huang Zhong, the chief general of the army.

"Array, prepare. ”

Huang Zhong stood in front of the military formation and gave a loud order.

In an instant, all the soldiers stopped, and then quickly placed the rhubarb crossbow on the ground. One by one, the soldiers quickly fell to the ground, pulling the bowstring in their hands, pedaling the bow and crossbow, and then the soldiers next to them loaded the crossbow arrows.

Crossbow arrows forged from stainless steel, all wound.

All the bolts are aimed in the same direction as the previous catapult bombardment.

"Shoot the Arrow"

Huang Zhong roared, and in an instant, the bowstrings of the big yellow crossbows vibrated and made a buzzing sound. The bowstrings of the five hundred rhubarb crossbows vibrated in unison, and the sound formed the first wave.

Immediately afterward, I saw one crossbow arrow after another breaking through the air, and the sharp crossbow arrows pierced the air, with a sharp roar, extremely piercing, like a streamer flying in the air.

"Aggressive"

In an instant, all the crossbow arrows fell one hundred and eighty zhang away.

Zhang Ren's eyesight was excellent, he estimated it in his heart, and said: "Liu Jingzhou, the range of the crossbow arrow is about one hundred and eighty zhang. Its lethality is undeniable. This crossbowman is very strong, and even such a crossbowman is of great use when used to bombard the city walls. ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "General Zhang praised it falsely"

Zhuge Liang was afraid for a while in his heart at this time.

If Liu Bei and Liu Xiu go to war, once they encounter Liu Xiu's catapult and such crossbow arrows, I am afraid they will definitely suffer a big loss. Now that I know, I can prepare when I go back, so as not to be caught off guard
