Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 54 Onlookers at the Manna Hall
"Get ready... to cum!"
At a small shooting range in Gong'an County, several veterans held the good bows in their hands, listened to the slogans, aimed at their targets, and then drew the bows and shot arrows in one go.
The small school on the sidelines hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation, and then reported the situation loudly:
"Seventy steps will penetrate the leather! Eighty steps will penetrate the wood! Ninety steps will penetrate the wooden figure!"
"Good bow!" Huang Zhong praised from the sidelines.
During this period, Huang Zhong became more and more active, especially after a letter arrived from Nanjun, saying that a distant family member wanted to adopt his son to Huang Zhong.
Liu Bei even felt that Huang Zhong looked much younger, no longer sullen.
"It is indeed a good bow!" Kong Ming said. Now he, Huang Zhong and Liu Bei were the only three people on the side of the school field. Today's display was a crossbow. Considering that Huang Zhong was the most familiar with crossbows among the generals, he took the opportunity to comment on it.
"The soldiers in Jiangdong are good at shooting! That's why there are many bowsmiths." Huang Zhong took a long-tip bow, stretched the bow string to 80% with a little effort, and then shot out with almost no aim.
The arrows are like shooting stars, penetrating the target a hundred paces away.
"It's a pity that such a good bow only costs 600 yuan, and the good bowmaker can't even make enough food and clothing."
Huang Zhong sighed. The standard weapon in the army was the longbow, which was the cheapest. There were many good bows and bowsmiths in the south, but life was not good.
The reason is that the military formations of the Han Dynasty were basically attacking each other for offense and defense. In this case, the crossbow occupied the ecological niche of the bow.
"General Huang's magic arrow!" Kong Ming praised sincerely, and then gestured to the left and right: "But if our army has eight oxen crossbows, how will General Huang deal with it?"
In the curious eyes of Liu Bei and Huang Zhong, a wooden weapon the size of a bed was pushed out by Liu Bei's soldiers, and it was still covered with oil paper.
Kong Ming carefully uncovered it himself, and the first thing Huang Zhong saw was three giant bows placed on it!
It is really a giant bow. The length of the bow arm is almost twice the size of the three-stone bow in my hand. The three bows are fixed with machine expansion and pulleys.
Although he couldn't understand it, there was a unique beauty to the weapon. Huang Zhong almost immediately pounced on it and observed it carefully, and then asked:
"Military advisor, how do you do this?"
"It's beyond human power!" Kong Ming pointed to the two wooden wheels behind the crossbow and said, "Bring the cow over here!"
Four soldiers led the cattle over, carefully put the ropes on the wooden wheel devices on both sides of the bed crossbow, and held the bridles to prevent the cattle from running around.
Kong Ming and a junior high school student carefully moved a giant crossbow arrow and fixed it on the crossbow on the bed, and then signaled to open it!
The wooden wheel was slowly pulled by the oxen, the machine expansion in the bed crossbow was also slowly rotating, and the three giant bows were slowly deformed and pulled apart.
Listening to the creaking sound, Huang Zhong had a feeling of tingling in his heart.
When he was practicing martial arts when he was young, he once relied on his strength and broke a five-jun bow. At that time, Huang Zhong was deeply impressed by the broken bow and arrow, which sounded like a knife before it was broken.
The wooden wheel was pulled until it could no longer be dragged. He carefully carried an ax around behind the crossbow, and then aimed at a rope and struck it hard.
Hearing only a "crack", Huang Zhong felt a strong wind blowing against his face. It wasn't until he came back to his senses that he heard a "boom" in the distance.
Looking far into the distance, a big tree two hundred steps away had been broken down, and the crossbow arrow was nowhere to be found.
Huang Zhong couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "This kind of power lives up to the name of the Eight Bulls!"
"It's actually not yet achieved." Kong Ming said this with a pity: "Perhaps the craftsmanship passed down by later generations is different, or perhaps the key technical aspects have not been thoroughly studied."
"If the eight-oxen crossbow created now uses the power of the eight-oxen, the crossbow itself will be broken, let alone shoot."
At this time, Xiao Xiao, who ran out to look for arrows, had also returned empty-handed: "At the four hundred and eightyth step, the crossbow arrows disappeared into the ground and could not be found."
"Almost five hundred steps!" Huang Zhong was shocked. Is the range so terrifying?
"But it's a pity that it is difficult to calibrate this eight-oxen crossbow." Kong Ming shook his head.
Huang Zhong looked horrified: It would be more terrifying if a giant crossbow with a range of 500 steps could be pointed and hit. In that case, as long as the enemy is slightly connected, it can directly shoot the enemy coach to death. How can it be hit?
However, the experience of being stationed in Jingzhou for many years made Huang Zhong quickly have an idea in his mind: "Military advisor, in this case..."
Liu Bei and Kong Ming's eyes lit up: "Good!"
Five days later, the public security county government.
Liu Bei was still sitting at the top, watching his close generals filing in one by one.
The first person to arrive this time was actually Guan Yu!
This man from Hedong reported the good news with a rare look of joy: "Brother, the eight-oxen crossbow made by the military adviser is really useful when placed on the boat! There is no more flooding in the river and the tiger crossing the river!"
Liu Bei nodded slowly. Huang Zhong's last idea that day was that since the bed crossbow could be placed on the city wall, it should also be placed on the ship.
Compared with the ordinary bed repeating crossbow, if this eight-niu crossbow hits a few more shots, wouldn't it be possible to sink a building and a ship?
Kong Ming adopted this suggestion and placed it on Guan Yu's ship. Now it seems that the effect is very good.
Then Kong Ming and Huang Yueying came hand in hand.
Huang Yueying and Mi Zhu submitted an opinion together and planned to officially expand the papermaking workshop. Liu Bei knew this.
The plan to print Di Bao has been postponed by Kong Ming on the grounds that the current paper output is far less than that of Cao Cao. If Cao Cao learned how to print Di Bao, this move would actually benefit the thieves.
Mi Zhu has already packed her bags and plans to go to Jiangdong to open a paper shop first, and will leave after watching this light curtain.
As for Kong Ming, he had a lot to be responsible for, such as farming, crossbows, taxes, etc. He also had to study with Jiang Wan how to distinguish good coal from bad, how to mine it, etc.
With that said, Jiang Wan walked in through the door, still looking unmotivated and cupped his hands towards Liu Bei, and then sat next to Kong Ming, very consciously.
Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, who had returned from Changsha, came hand in hand. The three of them sat on Guan Yu's side, with Guan Yu in the head.
As Mi Zhusun Qian also came in and sat down, the latest two members also appeared in the eyes of everyone.
The gray eyebrows were very dazzling. Kong Ming waved his hands happily: "Ji Chang came here and saved a seat for you!"
After Ma Liang paid his respects to Liu Bei, he went over and sat down. He consciously started preparing pen and paper just like Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan was very pleased.
Then Liu Bei stood up and took the hands of the last person very affectionately:
"My brother Zifang!"
Mi Fang politely said: "My lord."
The two stood and spoke affectionately for a few words, and then Mi Fang also sat down next to Mi Zhu.
But Mi Fang was still at a loss as to what she was going to do: "Brother, what are we going to discuss today? You asked me to wait as a presenter?"
Mi Zhu's eyes were filled with happiness. His younger brother, who had wandered all the way with him and abandoned his official position to follow his lord, was finally trusted by his lord.
There is also something meaningful: "Zifang, just wait and see the auspiciousness."
At this time, in another Chang'an, the scorching heat surrounds the Ganlu Palace.
The heroic man with divine power between his brows put his feet into the ice bucket, and the sudden drop in temperature made him feel comfortable.
There was an open book beside him, and a light curtain slowly flashed on the page.
There are a few big words on it: "The power of one county can conquer the world, and it will shock China today!" 》
There was something similar to reading notes placed aside, and it was recorded on it:
The Immortal has given instructions to take over the Western Regions. In this case, we should be ashamed of the Wei River!
What is Mongolia? Be careful and seek them out as soon as possible.
A temple of martial arts was established to stabilize the people and govern the country, but sixty-four generals were too many. It was appropriate to sacrifice Jiang Shang with thirty-six generals to accompany him.
Who was Tang Suzong?
In the blank space next to it, a prototype of a ballista was drawn crookedly with a pen. It was so ugly that I couldn't bear to look at it.
Looking at the light curtain appearing on the page, the man's joy flashed away, and then he picked up a pen and wrote on the light curtain:
"This battle is as elegant as the one on the banks of my Mingshui River!"
