Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 276 The birth of the ten-shot crossbow
When Zhao Yun and his party returned to Chenliu City,

Only then did people learn that Xiahou Dun was defeated and that Lu Yan and Huang Zhong had gone to the Xuzhou battlefield alone to support them.

At the gate of the city, Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and others met Mao Jie, Yi Ji and other officials of all sizes who came to welcome them.

Cai Yan was temporarily handed over to Mao Jie to arrange,
For the daughter of Cai Zhonglang, who has a great reputation among scholars, Mao Jie is very respectful, not to mention that Cai Yan himself is also a talented master.

Mao Jie called Zhao Yun to the sheriff's mansion.

In the meeting hall, Mao Jie took out a letter from Lu Yan to Zhao Yun from a pile of documents, and said, "Zilong, Changsheng asked you to rest for two days after you come back, and then immediately go to Xiaopei battlefield to help in the battle, don't delay!"

"There are only five thousand soldiers?" Zhao Yun took the letter and browsed it hastily, and became a little worried about Lu Yan in his heart, "I'm going now, no need to rest!"

After saying that, Zhao Yun was about to leave.

Mao Jie stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Yun's arm, and said, "General Zhao, you are mighty, but the rest of the soldiers need to rest!"

Zhao Yun stopped in his tracks, turned his head and said, "Isn't Ziheng still here? Let him lead the soldiers to Xuzhou in two days, and I will meet you first."

"Okay, take care when you go." Mao Jie saw that Zhao Yun had made up his mind to go, so he didn't persuade him any more, as long as one leader stayed.

"Yun Quya." Zhao Yun apologized and hurried away.

But when Zhao Yun came to the gate of Chenliu City, Xia Houlan and the two thousand returning cavalry had already been waiting for a long time.

"you."

Looking at Zhao Yun with mixed emotions on his face, Xia Houlan grinned and said: "We also heard that General Xiahou rushed to put out the fire.

I figured that you must also be going to help Mr., so we waited here. "

Zhao Yun looked around at the soldiers with tired faces, and said, "You guys should rest in Chenliu for two days before going. You have worked hard a while ago."

An old pawn named Bai Ma Yi replied, "General, on the way back we have already adjusted almost.

Besides, isn't the purpose of our hard work and training to kill the enemy on the battlefield and make a name for ourselves? "

"Yeah! We also want to kill the enemy, meritorious service!"

"General, take us there!"

The soldiers are eager to fight, and the military spirit is available!

Zhao Yun finally stopped pressing, and said with a smile: "Forget it. Then you can follow me to Qiao County."

"Great! Brothers, it's time to make contributions!" Xia Houlan raised her arms and shouted again, mobilizing morale.

"Kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds! Kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!!!"

"Boom!!"

Erlang, a two thousand cavalry soldier, had to go to the Xuzhou battlefield in less than a day after returning to Chen.

However, when they passed by their own barracks, they were stopped by a group of people ahead.

Zhao Yun saw the crowd guarding the road in front of him from a distance, and wondered in his heart: "Look at the craftsmen who are dressed in workshops, why are they blocking our way?"

Raising his hand, Zhao Yun signaled the cavalry to slow down.

At this time, the leader of the team in front raised the trumpet and shouted loudly: "General Zhao, General Xiahou, please wait a moment! Our workshop has new equipment for you!"

It turned out to be Geng Liang, the leader of the workshop. After he heard that Zhao Yun led the cavalry back, he brought a group of men to show Zhao Yun's cavalry the new equipment.

When they heard that there was a new product in the workshop, everyone couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and they all began to guess what it was this time.

There are many good things that the workshop provides to the army, not to mention weapons and armor, there are also various gadgets like caltrops, which are exquisite and practical.

The cavalry slowly stopped ten meters in front of Geng Liang and the others.

After returning from the battle with the Huns, this cavalry still had a lot of evil spirits that were too late to dissipate.

Zhao Yun and others stopped in front of Geng Liang's team of craftsmen, and this evil spirit came over the face, making many craftsmen tremble in shock.

After getting off their horses, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan came to Geng Liang.

Xia Houlan asked with interest: "Old Geng, did you come up with something good this time? Show it to us!"

Geng Liang turned around and said to Ma Jun, who was gradually getting stronger from eating and sleeping behind him, "You can demonstrate the Liannu you invented."

"Yes" Ma Jun bowed to Zhao Yun and the others before saying to the people behind him, "Give it to the generals as a demonstration."

"It's a stutter." Xia Houlan was curious, but she didn't show any disdain.

Zhao Yun comforted in a warm voice: "You are Ma Jun, sir. My husband mentioned you to me, saying that you are a genius in equipment, the kind of amazing talent!"

"Ah! How dare you be a gentleman to praise me like this!" Ma Jun was so anxious that he even temporarily recovered from his stuttering.

"Liannu, let's see how it works." Zhao Yun smiled.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about it for a while, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan decided to see how the Liannu works first.

The craftsman behind Ma Jun took out a relatively large device and said, "This is a ten-shot crossbow!"

"Ten rounds of crossbows!!!" Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan looked shocked at the huge crossbow in the hand of the craftsman preparing for the experiment.

Back then, Yuan Shao almost wiped out Baima Yicong with only a single heavy crossbow. With the advent of the ten-shot crossbow, the light cavalry will still be able to do well in the future!
"Ten rounds of crossbows are too precise, and now...can't be mass-produced." Ma Jun said it hard, and everyone heard it even more uncomfortable
So Geng Liang simply explained for Ma Jun: "Since Lu Hussar told Ma Jun and me the idea and general idea of ​​the ten-shot crossbow, we have formed a special team to study day and night and tackle technical difficulties."

"Sure enough, sir!" Zhao Yunyue and Xia Houlan looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Only a month ago, we finally created the original version, but due to the large size and low efficiency of the repeater, we kept improving and optimizing it."

"I felt that it was almost done a while ago, so I planned to get it out to show Lu Huanqi, but it's a pity that Lu Huanqi went to Xuzhou."

"So you want us to take it to Xuzhou to test the results for Lu Huqi?" Zhao Yun asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Geng Liang admitted with a nod, and then said: "The Liannu is ready for actual combat now, so take it to Lu Hussar to see what needs to be improved, and at the same time, you can kill the enemy by surprise on the battlefield!"

Xia Houlan grinned and said, "It's easy to say! Come on five hundred, and we can deliver them to you in a few days!"

"Not that much!" Geng Liang glanced at Xia Houlan angrily, and said, "The structure of this crossbow is extremely precise. Although it is powerful, it cannot be mass-produced for the time being because it is too precise."

"Ah? How many crossbows do you have now?"

"We rushed to work overnight, and there are only fifty of them now."

Xia Houlan was a little disappointed immediately, but Zhao Yun said: "It's okay, let's take all these to the husband first, and if they are produced later, we can let Chen Liu's brothers send them over in batches!"

"Okay! Let's do this first!" Geng Liang felt that this was the only way to go. He suddenly remembered a question and said, "But I still have a question."

"what is the problem?"

"Our workshop is short of manpower."

"Fuck! There are already nearly 3000 people in your workshop, isn't that enough?" Xia Houlan was taken aback.
