Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

On the school field, [-] soldiers had assembled and were neatly and orderly separated on both sides of the school field.

One hundred craftsmen who were in charge of making bows and crossbows also appeared on the school grounds. They were about to witness this historic moment and the time to witness the fruits of their labor.

A long halberd stood 150 steps away from where Chen Yang stood. Today he will imitate Lu Fengxian and shoot the halberd at the gate.

"Shopkeeper Chen, can your crossbow really work?" Cao Ang took the crossbow in his hand and looked at it for a while. It was quite different from the ordinary crossbow he had seen, and it looked a little strange.

Chen Yang had already taken a pot of arrows from the army. After taking over the crossbow, he stuck the arrows on the string and said, "Of course it works. Don't blink later."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yang raised his bow and crossbow with both hands, aiming at the halberd 150 steps away.

Whoosh!

The next moment, there was only a sharp piercing sound, and the sharp arrow was shot out quickly, and the tip of the arrow seemed to be able to tear the air.

Unfortunately, it was the first time Chen Yang fiddled with this kind of thing and missed the halberd, but there was still an archery target two hundred steps behind the halberd.

Snapped!

At this time, the arrow target shattered and split into three pieces.

Whoa!

All the soldiers let out a cry of surprise when they saw this, and stared at the target shattered by the arrow with wide eyes. They couldn't recover for a long time, including Cao Ang himself.

The soldiers have all been on the battlefield, and they know how far the effective range of bows and arrows is, but this moment has completely overturned their cognition.

"The accuracy is still a bit off, come again!"

With that said, Chen Yang drew out another sharp arrow, caught it on the string and shot it again.

Snapped!

This time, the halberd, which was 150 steps away, was cut off in the middle, very crisply.

"It's almost the same this time. The power is enough, the range and speed of fire are enough. This kind of big killer is finally coming out!" Chen Yang said with satisfaction.

However, this arrow shocked all the soldiers again, and even made Cao Ang open his mouth without knowing how to close it.

You must know that the halberds they use in battle are much stronger than ordinary archery targets, and they are also very hard. They can be broken by an arrow, and they are 150 steps away. It is impossible.

In the knowledge of Ye Shun and others, even within a hundred steps, the bow and arrow can accurately hit the target, and it is also very lethal, let alone smashing the halberd beyond 150 steps.

"My lord, this crossbow is so powerful, it's a divine weapon...it's a divine weapon!" Ye Shun shouted first.

The other soldiers looked at such an artifact with fiery eyes and were amazed.

"Master Chen, can you mass-produce bows and crossbows like this? If we have this in our army, it will be easy to sweep the world." Cao Ang was more excited than Ye Shun, and quickly snatched the bows and crossbows from Chen Yang's hand. , playing up and down, loving it.

Chen Yang nodded and said, "Of course it can be mass-produced. If not, what should I do?"

Cao Ang continued: "Master Chen, you are really the lucky star of our Cao family!"

Chen Yang ignored him, glanced at Ye Shun, and said: "General Ye, it takes a certain amount of strength to pull the string of this kind of crossbow, but it is definitely easier to pull than ordinary bows. I also saw it, so you select [-] soldiers with stronger arms, and they will be equipped with this kind of crossbow in the future."

He did this to form a team of marksmen who would surely be invincible in the future.

Ye Shun nodded solemnly and said, "Yes!"

Chen Yang continued: "In addition, we also have a continuous crossbow, which will be manufactured soon. Although the range and power of the continuous crossbow are not as strong as the steel crossbow, it can shoot continuously, and the speed of fire is very fast, making it easier to operate. You choose another 1000 people, and equip them with continuous crossbows in the future, let's go!"

Ye Shun bowed and bowed, then gathered all the soldiers and began to select a group of people.

"Old Ma, you have contributed a lot this time, and all your craftsmen will be rewarded a lot." Chen Yang looked back at Ma Chang and said admiringly.

Ma Chang hurriedly bowed in front of Chen Yang, and said sincerely, "My lord, this crossbow was not actually made by the villain, but the nephew of the villain."

"Oh!"

Chen Yang was a little surprised, but at the same time admired Ma Chang's honesty, and asked, "Where is Lao Ma's nephew?"

The young man who handed the steel crossbow to Chen Yang hurried forward, lowered his head and said, "I... I am!"

This young man was tall and thin, and his personality seemed a bit introverted. When facing Chen Yang, his body was still trembling slightly, and he looked very nervous.

"What's the name?" Chen Yang asked.

"The villain Ma Jun, named Deheng, was originally from Fufeng, and he came to Xudu because he avoided the war..." Ma Jun said in a low voice.

Ma Jun!

The name is somewhat familiar.

Chen Yang thought for a moment, then suddenly said in surprise: "It's you!"

Ma Jun, the first inventor of the Three Kingdoms, reproduced the compass cart, made the dumping cart, and improved the satin weaving machine.

Chen Yang once read a historical story, saying that when Cao Shu was at war, Zhuge Liang invented his Liannu, but after Ma Jun saw the power of Liannu, he said that Zhuge Liannu still had shortcomings, and the power could be improved by improving it. Five times, and then he really improved, and it worked better.

Unexpectedly, this great inventor was already in his team, Chen Yang secretly rejoiced that he came to the construction site today, otherwise the bright pearl would be dusted.

"My lord...do you know the villain?" Ma Jun asked a little scared.

Chen Yang laughed: "Wrong person, you made this crossbow?"

Ma Jun nodded and said: "That's right, in fact, before the lord came, the villain had already made the Liannu, but... it was too late to tell the lord."

"really?"

Chen Yang suddenly said loudly: "Hurry up and show me."

Ma Jun immediately went back to the factory and brought Liannu with him after a while.

"My lord, please look!"

Ma Jun offered the crossbow with trembling hands, and said again: "However...the villain has made some changes to the crossbow according to the master's blueprint, the power may be better than the blueprint, but the villain has not tried it. , please my lord..."

"It's really improved!"

Before Ma Jun finished speaking, Chen Yang interrupted him, and he was very surprised.

Good guy, you deserve to be the number one inventor of the Three Kingdoms.

Although Chen Yang's drawing was not the real Zhuge Liannu, he didn't quite understand the general structure of the Liannu. Someone made it in later generations, but he didn't know much about it. Let's try.

Compared with the Liannu, Chen Yang is more familiar with the steel crossbow. After all, this kind of crossbow is used in modern military affairs, and the power is really powerful. He is still a military fan, and he pays more attention to it.

Ma Jun is really awesome, and he can also correct all the flaws in Chen Yang's drawings, but he doesn't know how effective it will be.

"My lord, how do you know that the villain needs to improve?" Ma Jun asked in a daze.

Chen Yang touched his nose in embarrassment, and said, "I'm just talking casually, don't worry about it, let's try how powerful it is."

Soon, a new archery target was exchanged on the school field, and Chen Yang installed all the crossbow arrows. Of course, he had to do the first test.

This time the target was placed at a hundred paces, because Chen Yang didn't know the effective range of the crossbow, so he excitedly picked up the crossbow to aim.

emission!

whoosh...

In the end, a series of crossbow arrows were fired, and all of them were firmly nailed to the target.

A continuous crossbow can be equipped with twelve crossbow arrows, and Chen Yang shot them all at once, still a little bit unsatisfied.

"Shopkeeper Chen, this is also a divine weapon. You really don't need to change arrows for this crossbow, it's too strong!" Cao Ang didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, anyway, it was awesome.
