Chapter 156: Zhuge Liannu
Chapter 156: Zhuge Liannu
The 3,000 soldiers led by Liu Ye and Liu Xun caused a commotion because the main general was beheaded, but such a commotion was soon overwhelmed by Gan Ning's cavalry archers and soldiers from the beheading battalion. It was suppressed.
3,000 soldiers were disbanded on the spot, the previous establishment was broken up, and 1,000 soldiers whose age or physical fitness did not meet the Lu Bu Zebing standard were eliminated, and they were incorporated into household registration on the spot, and the remaining 2,000 soldiers were disbanded. It was compiled together with the three thousand recruits before.
The mixture of old and new made the relationship between these soldiers gradually become harmonious, and then quickly merged together.
The previous 3,000 Great Qin infantry crossbows were also redistributed, leaving 2,000 soldiers with the best skills and the best physical fitness.
The reason why these two thousand soldiers were left behind was very simple, because the Liannu developed by Zhuge Liang had already been trial-produced!
Once you can get a good response from practical applications, then make it!
When thousands of soldiers practice together, the effect is naturally very shocking. For this reason, Lu Bu even opened up a special training ground outside Sihong City!
Around this training ground is the barracks in Dahongze District!
After being expanded, this barracks can accommodate at least 50,000 troops!
In the 600 districts under Lu Bu's command, it is not easy to recruit 30,000 soldiers, let alone the area of Hongze Lake, where a strong force of 5,000 can be formed. The crossbow camp is already not easy.
So what Lu Bu wants to do at this time is only one thing, to train 5,000 soldiers to become an elite team in his hands!
Although the units produced by the system are the elite among the elite, with a team of thousands of people cooperating properly, it is natural to win against tens of thousands of ordinary troops, but when facing hundreds of thousands of troops, it can only be like nothing!
Can't even stir up a single wave!
"My lord, after receiving your reminder, I went back and improved this infantry crossbow many times, and finally restructured the structure of the crossbow, and finally made this kind of crossbow that can continuously supply crossbow arrows!"
Zhuge Liang finally made the Zhuge Liannu, and he was naturally a little excited. Like presenting a treasure, he handed the modified crossbow to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu took the crossbow and weighed it with his hands.
After the crossbow was refitted, the overall weight had reached about thirty catties, and it was still in an empty box. If those crossbow arrows were added, it might reach forty catties.
Even if this weight is placed in Lu Bu's hands, it is not so casual. If it is placed in the hands of those soldiers, they will definitely feel heavy, which is obviously a challenge for continuous combat capabilities.
"My lord, don't worry too much, just look!"
Zhuge Liang's heart was like a mirror, and he immediately saw what Lu Bu was worried about. He stretched out his hand and broke off the front and bottom of the crossbow, and actually made a handle in front of it!
"The original crossbow is supported by the left arm. Although it can play a stabilizing role when shooting, it is not conducive to continuous shooting. After adding this grip, it can play a better stabilizing role and be more convenient. Make timely direction adjustments for the crossbowmen!"
"The trigger under the crossbow body and the winding mechanism inside have also been adjusted to enable continuous winding, which is why the overall weight of the crossbow has increased by two or three times!"
Lu Bu stroked the bow and crossbow, his heart moved, and he thought of a question.
"Since the crossbow box of this bow and arrow has a fixed loading quantity, can the crossbow box be replaced in time for continuous shooting?"
Zhuge Liang smiled wryly.
"My lord, I have also considered it, but even if the best beef tendon is used as the string of the crossbow, the elasticity of the crossbow has a limit after all. Once it reaches the limit, it is difficult to recover, so After firing thirty bolts, the crossbow has reached its limit, and the range of the last bolt is only thirty (aebj) steps, which is fully doubled compared to the range of the first bolt!"
He poured out all the disadvantages of this Zhuge Liannu to Lu Bu at once. Lu Bu was slightly startled, but then he laughed.
I was tricked by the legend about Zhuge Liannu in my head. No matter how ingenious Zhuge Liang is, he is still limited by the technology of this era. It is not easy to achieve this level.
What's more, the grip was thought of by Zhuge Liang himself, which is already some kind of progress!
"In that case, let's try the power of this crossbow!"
After Lu Bu pondered for a while, he simply summoned a dozen crossbowmen, equipped with a Zhuge Liannu, and lined up in two teams on the training ground!
In the barracks, some wild animals are often captured for training purposes, but at this time, six or seven wild wolves were transported to the field immediately.
These dozen or so crossbowmen could be regarded as well-trained elite soldiers, and they didn't change their faces at all in the face of six or seven ferocious wolves.
After pulling away the cages that held the wild wolves, the soldiers who were in charge of moving the cages immediately dodged.
Those wild wolves had been hungry for a long time, and each of them had green light in their eyes. After being released, they immediately aimed their eyes at the two rows of crossbowmen standing here!
They were the only ones in the field who were the closest and didn't block them, and they actually stood there motionless!
These wild wolves roared up to the sky, and then rushed towards the crossbowmen in unison!
The crossbowmen were four hundred steps away from the cage, so when the wolf came out of the cage, they just prepared the crossbow, but did not fire it!
The wild wolves quickly rushed to a distance of three hundred paces!
With the order from the squad leader among the crossbowmen, these crossbowmen pulled the trigger in an instant!
Accompanied by their constant pulling of the trigger, the Zhuge Liannu immediately ejected a bomb consisting of crossbow bolts!
Standing on a high place, Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang could clearly see that the six or seven wild wolves fell to the ground as if they were surrounded by a swarm of hornets in an instant!
Among them, only two were relatively strong enough to withstand the attack, and they rushed forward a dozen steps in the midst of the attack of the crossbow arrows, and then fell to the ground.
"Collect the crossbow, the whole team!"
After watching the last wild wolf fall to the ground, the crossbow team immediately rearranged their formation! Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang also walked down from the high place immediately!
The shock caused by this Zhuge Liannu was so great that even Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang couldn't believe it!
