The next day.
In the morning, Zhuge Liang gathered Liu Bei and others on the school field, and Huang Yueying also came.
That repeating crossbow has been completely manufactured by Huang Yueying. The last time Zhuge Liang went to the Huang family, it was just a semi-finished product. Now it is a real finished product that can be mass-produced and fully put into use by the army.
I heard that Zhuge Liang had a crossbow that could fire continuously. The generals in the army were very interested and followed Liu Bei to see what the repeated crossbow was like.
"Kong Ming, are you okay?"
Liu Bei couldn't wait to ask. He had heard of the Liannu for a long time, and he was finally able to see what it looked like. He was very excited.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Yueying, make arrangements."
Huang Yueying and Liu Bei all felt strange.
The color of this woman's skin is different from ordinary people, as is the color of her hair, but she is also the fiancée of a military advisor, so it is difficult for them to say or discuss too much.
Huang Yueying said: "My lord, generals, my repeating crossbow can shoot six arrows continuously, and I need to change the arrows after six. This is a lot more convenient, but it is not as powerful as an ordinary crossbow and has insufficient penetration. If the enemy is close to him, If the armor you wear is thicker, it won’t be penetrated.”
After hearing this, Liu Bei thought about it for a while, shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can kill the enemy."
You must know that the role of bows and arrows on the battlefield is to shoot volleys. Under normal circumstances, beyond a certain distance, the hit rate of bows and arrows will be very random, and volleys on the battlefield are even more random.
Once the number increases, even if the hit rate is random, it is very easy to shoot groups of enemies, but more often, the volley of arrows can bring a sense of oppression to the enemy.
It can also break the enemy's morale.
Thicker armor cannot be shot through, which means killing is still no problem.
Not all soldiers on the battlefield can wear armor. Ordinary soldiers will definitely die one after another. This is enough.
"good!"
Huang Yueying said: "After I go back, I will still find ways to improve it, but for now, my lord can try to make these. I hope it will be useful to my lord."
Liu Bei nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you!"
Now he has a feeling that he is hugging Zhuge Liang's lap. Zhuge Liang's presence can always bring him some special surprises.
"Yueying, let's start!"
Zhuge Liang said.
Huang Yueying took out the repeating crossbow and tested it herself. There was an arrow target a hundred steps away.
She activated the repeating crossbow and shot towards the target.
The six arrows were quickly shot and all were nailed to the target, indicating that the penetration power was still there, but slightly weaker than an ordinary crossbow.
"good!"
Guan Yu first expressed his appreciation.
I don't care about the power of the crossbow for the moment, but Huang Yueying's accuracy with the repeating crossbow is still very good. Six arrows did not miss the target a hundred steps away, which is indeed good.
Chen Dao said in admiration: "Madam, you are a hero among women!"
The phrase "ma'am" certainly refers to Zhuge Liang's wife.
Huang Yueying lowered her head shyly when she heard that they had called her that, acquiescing to this identity, and she would be Zhuge Liang's wife from now on.
She also looked at Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang noticed her look in her eyes and responded with a smile, as if she was talking sweetly, everything was unspoken.
"Come and see how the repeating crossbow works."
Liu Bei said.
Zhao Yun and the others then walked towards the target, pulled out the arrows stuck on it and looked at it.
"The repeating crossbow can kill the enemy. It can definitely be used. It is very useful."
Zhao Yun said first.
Chen Gong said: "Madam's repeating crossbow can shoot six arrows at a time. Before the enemy could react, we shot six rounds. If it can be used in large quantities, it will be really good."
After a pause, he looked at Huang Yueying and asked, "Is it easy to change the arrows of Madam's repeating crossbow?"
Huang Yueying said: "It's easy."
She demonstrated it to them with her own hands, easily replacing the six new arrows.
"This is good!"
Inside Jingzhou, a general named Wenpin who defected to Liu Bei praised: "If the two armies meet on the battlefield, our archers can suppress the enemy's archers from drawing their bows, and they can also suppress the enemy from getting close."
A weapon that can fire continuously has great effect on the battlefield.
They can imagine the benefits behind it.
In addition, Ma Liang, who also joined Liu Bei, said with approval: "Madam, this weapon can bring unexpected surprises to our army."
Hearing again that they can call her madam, Huang Yueying's face blushed even better, and she smiled and said: "I would like to be able to help you. I also want to help Uncle Liu Huang support the Han Dynasty and contribute to the peace of the world. "
Liu Bei clapped his hands and said, "Well said!"
His reputation has been so smeared, but now it can still be recognized. Liu Bei is in a good mood and thinks that Zhuge Liang has not found the wrong person.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Lord, we can arrange for people to make repeating crossbows. We still have nearly a year, and we can still do a lot of things."
Liu Bei said: "Kong Ming is right, I will go back to make arrangements right away. In addition... Madam has made great contributions. When I go back, I will give you a big reward!"
Hearing that Liu Bei could reward herself heavily, Huang Yueying looked at Zhuge Liang unaccustomedly.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "My lord's generous reward is something that ordinary people cannot get."
Huang Yueying bowed and said: "Thank you, lord. I have also improved some forging techniques and will hand them over to the lord when the time comes."
"good!"
Liu Bei has been coveting this for a long time.
——
The people arranged by Cao Gu hurried northward. After walking for a long time, they finally returned to Xudu and delivered the information in Jingnan to Cao Ang.
Cao Ang first showed it to Cao Cao, and then took it to Chen Zhou for study.
"What do you think, sir?"
Cao Ang asked.
Chen Zhou finished reading, closed the information, and said: "Zhuge Liang is doing this to completely control Jingnan in Liu Bei's hands. It is easy. If the governors of the four counties are sincere in their alliance, they will not rebel and unite to resist." Liu Bei, maybe he can still succeed, now..."
He thought of this period of history and said, "Defeat is inevitable."
Cao Ang smiled and said: "Then Liu Bei can increase his strength, but no matter how strong he is, if Liu Bei is too weak, we will not be able to enjoy the fight. It will be evil, right?"
Dian Wei laughed and said: "That's right! It's not fun enough to fight, how can you do it? You must give me the master who uses the gun, so that I can fight happily!"
The gun master he longed for was Zhao Yun.
Dian Wei always wanted to have a real fight with Zhao Yun but couldn't, which became Dian Wei's regret.
"Lao Dian, there is this opportunity."
Chen Zhou smiled and said: "If I guessed correctly, that person's name is Zhao Yun. If I had known earlier, I would have found Zhao Yun first just like I went to find Huang Zhong, so that Lao Dian could fight him at any time."
Mentioning Huang Zhong, Cao Ang asked: "Sir, how likely is it that Cao Gu can bring Huang Zhong back?"
"It's hard to say."
Chen Zhou opened the information sent back by Cao Gu and continued: "If Huang Xu is still alive, I have 100% confidence. Now...it depends on the situation!"
