Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 54

"Get ready to shoot!"

In a small shooting range in Gong'an County, a few old soldiers held their good bows tightly, listened to slogans and aimed at their targets, and then drew the bows and shot arrows in one go.

The small school on the sidelines hurried forward to check the situation, and then reported the situation loudly:
"Seventy steps through leather! Eighty steps through wood! Ninety steps through wood!"

"Good bow!" Huang Zhong on the sidelines praised.

During this period of time, Huang Zhong became more and more active, especially when a letter arrived from Nanjun, a distant relative said that he wanted to adopt his son to Huang Zhong.

Liu Bei even felt that Huang Zhong looked much younger, and he was no longer sluggish.

"It is indeed a good bow!" Kong Ming said, now he, Huang Zhong and Liu Bei are the only three people on the sidelines of the school, and today they are showing bows and crossbows. Considering that Huang Zhong is the most familiar with bows and crossbows among the generals, he will come here to comment.

"Jiangdong soldiers are good at archery! That's why there are many bowsmiths." Huang Zhong took a long-tipped bow, stretched the bowstring [-]% of the way with a little effort, and then shot it almost without aiming.

The arrows are like shooting stars, penetrating the target of a hundred paces.

"It's a pity that such a good bow only costs [-] yuan, and the good bow craftsman can't afford enough food and clothing."

Huang Zhong sighed, the longbow was the cheapest standard weapon in the army, and there were many good bows and bowsmiths in the south, but their lives were not good.

The reason is that the offensive and defensive formations of the Han Dynasty basically rushed to each other. In this case, the crossbow occupied the ecological niche of the bow.

"General Huang's amazing 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?"

Under the curious eyes of Liu Bei and Huang Zhong, a wooden tool the size of a bed was pushed out by Liu Bei's personal soldiers, and it was still covered with oiled paper.

Kong Ming carefully opened it himself, and the first thing Huang Zhong saw were three huge bows placed on it!
It is really a giant bow, the length of the bow arm is almost double the size of the three stone bow in hand, and the three bows are fixed by machine expansion and pulleys.

Although I can't understand it, there is a unique beauty of weapons. Huang Zhong jumped on it almost immediately to observe carefully, and then asked:

"Military division, how to operate?"

"It's beyond the reach of human beings!" Kong Ming pointed to the two wooden wheels behind the bed crossbow and said, "Bring the cow here!"

Four personal soldiers led the cattle over, carefully put the ropes on the wooden wheel devices on both sides of the bed crossbow, and pulled the bridles to prevent the cattle from running around.

Kong Ming and a small school carefully lifted a giant crossbow and fixed it on the bed crossbow, and then signaled to pull it!
The wooden wheel was pulled slowly by the ox, and the machine expansion in the bed crossbow was also slowly turning, and the three giant bows were slowly deformed and pulled apart.

Hearing the creaking sound, Huang Zhong felt his heart tremble.

When he was young, he used to rely on his own strength to break a five-jun bow. At that time, the broken bow and arrow was like a knife cutting, which impressed Huang Zhong deeply. It was like this sound before it broke.

The wooden wheel was pulled until it couldn't move anymore, and he carefully walked around behind the crossbow with an axe, and then aimed at a rope and slammed down.

Hearing the sound of "噗", Huang Zhong only felt the strong wind blowing against his face, and he didn't hear the sound of "Boom" in the distance until he came back to his senses.

Looking far away, two hundred paces away, a big tree has been broken down in the middle, and the crossbow bolt is nowhere to be found.

Huang Zhong couldn't help but click his tongue: "This kind of power is worthy of the reputation!"

"Actually, it's not up to it." Kong Ming said it was a pity: "Maybe it's because the craftsmanship handed down to later generations is different, or maybe it's because the key ingenuity hasn't been thoroughly studied yet."

"If the eight-ox crossbow built now uses the strength of eight oxen, the crossbow itself will be broken, let alone shot."

At this time, the little school who ran out to look for arrows has returned empty-handed: "at 480 steps, there is no place for crossbow arrows, so I can't find them."

"Almost five hundred steps!" Huang Zhong was shocked, the range is so terrifying?
"But it's a pity that the eight-ox crossbow is difficult to calibrate." Kong Ming shook his head.

Huang Zhong looked horrified: It would be even more terrifying if a giant crossbow with a range of [-] paces could be aimed at where to hit, then as long as it touched the enemy for a while, it would directly shoot the enemy coach to death, how could it be hit?
However, the experience of stationing in Jingzhou for many years made Huang Zhong quickly think of an idea: "Military division, since this is the 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 file in one by one.

This time it was Guan Yu who arrived first!

This guy from the east of the river had a very happy expression on his face and said, "Brother, the eight-ox crossbow made by the military division is really easy to use on the boat! The river and the Hudu River are no longer flooded!"

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 crossbow, as long as this eight-ox crossbow hits a few more shots, wouldn't it be possible to sink a building?
Kong Ming adopted this suggestion and placed it on Guan Yu's boat, and it seems that the effect is very good now.

Then Kong Ming and Huang Yueying came hand in hand.

Huang Yueying and Mi Zhu submitted an opinion together, planning to formally expand the paper workshop, Liu Bei knew about it.

The plan to print the Mansion Newspaper has been postponed by Kong Ming on the grounds that the current output of paper is far inferior to that of Cao Cao. If the printing of the Mansion Newspaper is imitated by Cao Cao, this move will benefit the thieves instead.

Mi Zhu, on the other hand, has already packed his bags, and plans to go to Jiangdong to open the paper shop first, and then leave after watching the light curtain this time.

As for Kong Ming, he had to be responsible for more, such as farming, crossbow carts, taxes, etc. He also had to study with Jiang Wan how to distinguish the good and bad of coal and the method of mining, etc.

As soon as Jiang Wan said that, he stepped in through the door, bowed his hands to Liu Bei with an unmotivated look, and then sat beside Kong Ming, very self-conscious.

Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun, who had returned from Changsha, came hand in hand. The three sat on Guan Yu's side, with Guan Yu as the leader.

As Mi Zhu and Sun Qian came in to sit down, the two newest members also appeared in the eyes of everyone.

The gray eyebrows are very eye-catching, Kong Ming waved his hand happily: "Ji Chang is here, I have reserved a seat for you!"

After paying respects to Liu Bei, Ma Liang sat down and prepared paper and pen as consciously as Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan was very pleased.

Then Liu Bei got up very affectionately and held the hands of the last person:
"My brother Zifang!"

Mi Fang bowed respectfully: "My lord."

The two stood and said a few words affectionately, and then Mi Fang sat down beside Mi Zhu.

But Mi Fang was still at a loss as to why she was going to do it: "Brother, what are you going to discuss today? Are you asking me to attend?"

There was joy in Mi Zhu's eyes. The younger brother who followed him all the way and abandoned his official position to follow the lord was finally entrusted by the lord.

There is also a bit of meaning: "Zi Fang, just wait for Guan Xiangrui."

At this time another Chang'an, the Temple of Manna is surrounded by summer heat.

The heroic man with Tianwei in his eyebrows put his feet into the ice bucket, and the sudden drop in temperature made him feel comfortable.

Beside him was an open book, and a light curtain flickered slowly on the pages.

There are a few large characters on it: "The strength of a county fights the world, and the power of China is now!" "

There is something similar to reading notes on the side, and it is recorded on it:

Immortals instructed to take over the Western Regions, since that's the case, it's a shame to snow Weishui!
What is Mongolia?Be careful, it is advisable to find it and kill it as soon as possible.

The Wu Temple is established to stabilize the people and govern the country, but there are too many 64 generals, so Jiang Shang should be worshiped, and 36 generals should be accompanied by sacrifices.

Who is Tang Suzong?
In the blank space next to it, a prototype of a ballista was crookedly drawn with a pen, so ugly that I couldn't bear to look directly at it.

Looking at the light curtain that appeared on the page of the book, the man's joy flashed away, and then he picked up a pen and wrote on the light curtain:

"This battle has the style of my Mingshui Riverside!"
