Anti-aircraft artillery leveling, court-martial.

This kind of big guy, which was originally used to defend and siege cities, once pulled into the field battlefield, is indeed extraordinary.

Not only were Lao Yu and Xu Huang on the hillside stunned, but the soldiers of the Red Star Army Reserve on the side were also very surprised.

Many of the new batch of reserve members are from local good families, and they have never been out of Bashu in their lives, and even their parents have never been out in their lives.

Many people have never even seen an ordinary castle bed crossbow, let alone this kind of monster that can fire ten arrows at a time.

Now when I see it, I am directly dumbfounded.

The bed crossbow is different from the Thunder Gong Cannon, although the Lei Gong Cannon is powerful, you still have a chance to hide.

This Nima crossbow is faster than a galloping horse, where are the soldiers who have already lined up to hide?

Liu Chan was also very satisfied with the power of the Yuan Rong crossbow, although it was different from the imaginary version of the "Zhuge Continuous Crossbow", which was the first to be released.

But this kind of ballista cart is actually more powerful when targeting Cao Wei's mounted cavalry cluster...... Especially in the first battle, if it is used at the right time, it can definitely play a decisive role.

Coupled with the trained Mo Dao crossbow soldiers, and Zhuge Liang's formation against cavalry, which is still improving.

Liu Chan even developed an inflated feeling of "the advantage is in me", so much so that he had to force himself to calm down.

This crossbow is very powerful, but it also has its own flaws.

The reason why this ballista has a rope at the end of the arrow, and after shooting, the arrow is retracted like fishing, mainly to save costs.

The Iron Arrow alone has an eight-inch long crossbow bolt, and in order to maximize its armor-piercing effect, the arrows also need to be carefully crafted.

It is extremely difficult for such an "unconventional" delicate weapon to reach all blacksmiths, and it is not necessary to produce such a large number of weapons for the production of other, more important weapons.

This only minimizes consumption, but it also further increases the time it takes to reload.

Although the Yuanrong crossbow indirectly makes up for the small number of launches with the number of single launches, it still depends on the results of the first wave.

"It would be perfect if we could make some individual crossbows before the first Northern Expedition." Liu Chan groped for his chin that had begun to grow a beard.

The quality of the horses was not good, and the quantity was not enough, so they were forced to fight the infantry against the cavalry, and they could only rack their brains to make up the gap.

On the other hand, on Cao Pi's side, the people in the border areas have many experience in horseback riding, and the cavalry generals have rich experience and own most of the horse farms...... You just need to pile up the number of piles.

"Fighting strong with the weak is hard work......" Prince Liu, who felt that his family background was still too thin, sighed.

However, the two people on the hillside thought very differently from him.

“…… General Wen Ze, if you lead your troops to meet the enemy, and the enemy has a large number of these crossbows, how should you deal with it? Xu Huang turned his head and asked.

Yu Ban wanted to scold the street a little, but seeing the sincerity on Xu Huang's face and getting along for a long time, he also knew that he didn't mean to mock himself.

He told the truth: "If you know that the enemy has this crossbow, you may be able to send a small group of cavalry to lure the enemy into firing arrows and take advantage of the gap between its attacks to surprise you." Or you can only wait for the infantry to gain superiority before joining the cavalry......"

Xu Huang was noncommittal, the infantry wanted to defeat the Shu army...... How easy is it to say?

Among Wei Shu and Wu, he was the strongest infantry under Lao Liu, and he had already seen it when he was in Hanzhong and Shangyong.

Even if the Battle of Jingzhou broke Guan Yu, he also knew that if Guan Yu hadn't been because of the fire in the backyard, the soldiers under his command had no intention of fighting, and he was afraid that the recruits under him would not be able to please him.

Cao Wei's advantage was the cavalry and troops, and if the cavalry fought, they were timid...... Then the infantry had to fill it with their lives.

“…… It's unpredictable. Xu Huang held back for a long time, and only held back such a sentence.

……

Liu Chan continued to focus on building his Red Star Army, practicing martial arts diligently and reading a wide range of books, just as he did in preparation for the Battle of Jingzhou.

The various talent improvements he has gained during this period of time are being transformed into his own strength by his down-to-earth but fast speed.

Guan Yinping, who stayed in Chengdu, in addition to writing letters to the Zhang sisters in Langzhong, accompanying Mrs. Wu, occasionally studying ink, adding incense to red sleeves, and carrying guns to sparring, spent a lot of time on the martial arts of the children in the shantytown.

Seeing that these children's martial arts are steadily improving, Liu Chan is very pleased, and at the same time, he is naturally very grateful for the beauty in his heart.

In addition to him, the most popular person in the shantytown is Miss Guan San, and even the Red Star Army is grateful to one of the future housemothers who is basically determined.

There's something interesting going on here.

The one who was defeated by Liu Chan in one move, obviously triggered the favorability, which means that he is also the number one person, but he only gave Gao Xiang, who has a physique of +1, and saw that the prince was free again, so he came to him again to compete.

Needless to say, the result is needless to say, and I am afraid that my confidence will be lost if I change it.

As a result, Gao Xiang's temperament was different from ordinary people, not only was he not beaten and closed, but his good impression of Liu Chan rose to 20 again.

It's nothing, last time I only gave Liu Chan a +1 physique, but this time I added 10 to him.

This has never happened to anyone else, which makes Liu Chan pay more attention to this eccentric young player.

He was not idle, Lao Liu and the high-level executives in Chengdu were even busier.

The auspicious day for enthronement has been chosen, and it is set on the first day of April, and the location has also been chosen, which is in the nearby Wudan Mountain.

The first time Liu Chan heard it, he thought it was the famous Wudang Mountain, and said in his heart that Lao Liu had swelled and ascended the throne in Cao Wei's territory, so he didn't take Cao Pi in his eyes?

Only after careful questioning did I know that I had heard the mistake.

However, the auspicious day and location have been set, and this is just the first step.

The country name naturally continues the country name "Han", but what is the year name changed, the list of official appointments and promotions, the criminal name and law, and the division of other sons......

There's a lot more to manpower.

And it is not only a matter of ascending the throne, but also the preparations for the Northern Expedition must be carried out simultaneously.

Although Sun Quan almost put Guan Er Ye and Liu Chan to death, after all, they were fine, but they also took a county back.

In this case, when he heard that Cao Pi usurped the Han and killed the king, Lao Liu would not be able to hit his head with blood and make the decision to kill Wu.

Lao Liu and Liu Chan both believed that the Northern Expedition should be made as soon as possible, and Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng naturally had no objection to this.

However, the virtual and real route of the Northern Expedition can be determined at that time, but the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

Materials from all over the country began to gather in a steady stream, and batches of new weapons and armor in Linqiong were also stepping up their construction.

Deng Fang, Li Hui, Ma Jian and others in Nanzhong, who got the news, also began to mobilize for war in various parts of Nanzhong.

In the context of the rapid recovery of Han-Yi relations and the tangible improvement of the lives of the Yi people in half a year, coupled with Liu Chan's unsparing smear of Cao Wei at that time.

Describing it as the biggest threat to the development of South and Central China, all ethnic groups in South and Central China actively responded to this war mobilization.

A large number of horses, cattle and sheep were purchased by the government and went north in batches.

Qingqiang, Yueyunyi Ministry...... And the other Yiren tribes also fulfilled their original promises, sending the most elite athletes of their own tribes to the north to help in the battle.

At the same time, Chengdu also sent letters to Wei Yan in Hanzhong, Guan Yu in Jingzhou, and Liu Feng in the three eastern counties, ordering them to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

It's going to be the Northern Expedition!

And the object of the planned Northern Expedition, His Majesty Cao Pi, Emperor of the Great Wei, has been a little blocked recently.

The source of the blockage is naturally Sun Quan, the king of Great Wei Wu who he personally sealed and expressed great loyalty to him.
