Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

Lu Bu reluctantly put the horizontal knife in his hand back into the distance.At this moment when there was no advertisement, Chen Chu walked to another group of wooden frames.This row of wooden racks is a bit different from the wooden racks that hold the horizontal knives. This row of wooden racks is covered with a large piece of black cloth, and it is impossible to see what is placed on it.

Chen Chu tore off the black cloth, revealing the true face of Mount Lu inside.It turned out that what was placed on this row of wooden racks turned out to be a heavy weapon with a length of three meters and a long handle and long blade.

The shape of this kind of knife is completely different from that of a horizontal knife, and it looks a bit like a three-pointed two-edged knife as a whole.The handle of this kind of knife is more than two meters long, the blade is nearly one meter long, and is edged on both sides. The blade body is much wider than the horizontal knife, which is about five times that of the horizontal knife. The cold air makes people shudder.

Lu Bu was involuntarily attracted.Looking at the unique and intimidating broadsword on the wooden frame, Lu Bu couldn't help but gasp in amazement. [

"My lord, what is this?" Lu Bu asked in surprise.

Chen Chu smiled, then took out a big knife and weighed it in his hand, it weighed fifty catties.Then Chen Chu handed the big knife to Lu Bu, and said at the same time: "This knife is called Mo knife, and it will be the main equipment of our heavy armored infantry! The forging process of this kind of knife is similar to that of the horizontal knife, or even more complicated, so this knife is sharper than , coupled with its own weight, one strike can definitely cut the enemy cavalry in two!"

Mo Dao is another weapon from the Tang Dynasty.This kind of weapon is equipped with heavy armored infantry, and the Modao formation can be said to be indestructible on the battlefield.Its only downside is that the portions are too heavy.

Lu Bu took the Mo Dao, took two steps back, danced the Mo Dao in his hand a few times, and then said excitedly: "My lord, this sword is really a rare sharp weapon!" After speaking, Lu Bu handed the Mo Dao back To Chen Chu.Chen Chu took Mo Dao and put Mo Dao back on the wooden stand.

Then Lu Bu frowned slightly, showing a thoughtful look, and said to Chen Chu after a while: "My lord, this knife is not light, I'm afraid there are not many people who can use it!"

Chen Chu nodded, "That's true. This saber weighs fifty catties, and it is very difficult to choose one out of ten soldiers who can wield this saber! So those who can equip this saber will be the most courageous of our army!" , then Chen Chu sighed, and said with regret: "If it weren't for this reason, our army would be equipped with this kind of weapon! If our infantry generally use this kind of knife, then even if we face nomads on the grassland Even the cavalry can kill them to pieces!"

Lu Bu and Dian Wei also sighed regretfully.Mo Dao is powerful, but unfortunately, due to its heavy weight, not many people can be used.

"The weapons here are these two kinds of knives. In addition, there are [-] sets of newly-made armors. There are no advertisements." After speaking, Chen Chu walked to a large box, opened it, and took out a set from it. Passed the armor to Lu Bu, and then said: "This kind of armor is specially equipped for heavy armor infantry. Its appearance is not much different from the general heavy armor today. It mainly strengthens the frontal defense. The one worn by Mo Daobing is the It will be this armor."

Lu Bu took the armor in his hand and looked it over. It was indeed not much different from ordinary heavy armor. After weighing it, it seemed to be heavier than ordinary heavy armor.

Lu Bu handed the armor back to Chen Chu, glanced around at the armory, and then asked Chen Chu excitedly: "My lord, will all the ordnance here be changed to the Luoyang Army in Shangjun?"

Chen Chu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I said Fengxian, if I give you all the weapons here, I'm afraid other generals will say that I'm biased! There are fifty-five thousand horizontal knives here, and the Mo knife [-] handles and [-] sets of heavy armor, of which [-] horizontal swords, [-] mo swords and [-] sets of heavy armor will be equipped to the Luoyang Army in Shangjun. The rest will be equipped to Guan Yu's troops stationed in Jiguan. "

Lu Bu couldn't help feeling strange about Chen Chu's arrangement.The Battle of Guanzhong is about to begin. It stands to reason that most of the equipment should be equipped in the direction of Shangjun, but Chen Chu's approach is just the opposite.

Chen Chu saw Lu Bu's doubts, so he explained: "The reason why most of the new equipment is equipped to Jiguan is mainly to strengthen the battle at Jiguan.

force.The battle between Yuan Shao and Han Fu is over, I am worried that when we are fighting Dong Zhuo's army in Guanzhong, will the princes of the Guandong make any moves! "As he spoke, Chen Chu couldn't help showing a hint of worry on his face.

It turned out that news had come a few days ago that the battle of Jizhou was over, Yuan Shao had occupied Jizhou, and Han Fu was said to be dead.If this is the case alone, Chen Chu might not be too worried, but the reason why Yuan Shao was able to annihilate Han Fu and occupy Jizhou suddenly a few days ago was mainly because of Cao Cao's help.

Cao Cao actually went to help people!This made Chen Chu feel that things were a bit difficult, which meant that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had at least reached an agreement on dividing up Han Fu.Judging from the current situation, Chen Chu and his counselors believe that the agreement reached between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is that Qinghe and Gaotang in the south of Jizhou belong to Cao Cao, while Jizhou City and other counties belong to Yuan Shao.

In fact, the judgments of Chen Chu and the counselors were all wrong.But this cannot be blamed on them. After all, there is insufficient information and it is difficult to make a correct judgment.

However, based on the current situation, Xu Shu judged that since Yuan Shao could join forces with Cao Cao to destroy Han Fu, it is very possible to do other things, such as sending troops to merge the prefecture suddenly when the Northern Army marched into Guanzhong.Based on this, Xu Shu believed that the defense of Jiguan must be strengthened. At the same time, he sent envoys to see Yuan Shao and try to stabilize Yuan Shao as much as possible. As long as Yuan Shao does not move, there will be no danger in Jiguan.

What Xu Shu said was very reasonable, so Chen Chu sent an envoy to Yuan Shao according to Xu Shu's suggestion. At the same time, he temporarily decided to allocate more than half of the equipment that was originally planned to be refitted to the Luoyang Army in Shangjun, and equip it to Jiguan instead.These new equipment not only include Hengdao, Modao, and armor, but also a large number of steel crossbows and crossbow beds that have only been successfully trial-produced, and there is an unprecedented weapon, bomb! [

However, the power of this kind of bombing is not too great, so don't equate it with modern bombing, and due to various reasons such as craftsmanship, the number of bombing is very limited, less than a thousand in total.Chen Chu planned to give [-] of them to Guan Yu's department in Jiguan.

So many excellent weapons were equipped to Jiguan, in consideration of possible emergencies.

Even if there is an emergency, with so many excellent equipment and the bravery of the [-] Youzhou Army, it will not be easy for the eastern princes to capture Jiguan.

Chen Chu didn't explain a lot to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu didn't continue to ask this question.

After a pause, Chen Chu said to Lu Bu: "Follow me to the back to have a look. There are still many novel and powerful weapons there. Most of the siege weapons among those weapons will be equipped to Luoyang in Shangjun Legion."

The three of them came out of the armory, and then walked deeper into the Institute of Martial Arts Research.As soon as Chen Chu and the others left, the officials in charge immediately and carefully turned off the oil lamps, then left and locked the gate again.Several officials did it very carefully without any negligence.

This Martial Arts Research Institute is divided into five entrances, covering a very large area.The first entry is where craftsmen and technicians live, the second entry is where new weapons and armor are made; the third entry is where various long-range weapons are made, such as steel crossbows are made here; the fourth entry is where various The place for heavy weapons; the fifth entrance is the place where gunpowder is produced and gunpowder weapons are developed. Due to the particularity of gunpowder, the area here is much larger than the previous four entrances.

Lu Bu followed Chen Chu to visit, exclaiming from time to time, just like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden.

The steel crossbow produced by the third factory is completely different from the general crossbow. It is made of steel, and its power is not stronger than the general crossbow. However, its advantages are short production cycle, not affected by the weather, etc. The last point is very important. For example, if the general crossbow gets wet or gets wet, its maneuverability and power will be greatly affected, but the steel crossbow will not. This will have an immeasurable effect on ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army.

However, not everyone can produce this steel crossbow. Although its craftsmanship is simpler than ordinary strong crossbows, who can have a large amount of steel for the production of steel crossbows like Chen Chu?

The fourth advanced production of large-scale attack

City weapons include both common ones, such as climbing ladders, and others that people have never seen or heard of, such as catapults, impact vehicles and so on.The catapult was originally supposed to be invented by Liu Ye ten years later, but now it has been plagiarized by Chen Chu and advanced.In fact, the catapults used by the Zhengbei Army are quite different from the so-called thunderbolt vehicles invented by Liu Ye. The catapults used by the Zhengbei Army are relatively smaller, more powerful, and have a longer range, up to 500 meters. , already comparable to the catapults of the Song Dynasty.

In addition to catapults, there are impact vehicles.Speaking of this impact vehicle, the origin is even more mysterious. It was developed by Chen Chu's technicians based on the principles of armored vehicles of later generations.Of course, this impact vehicle cannot be the same as an armored vehicle, it just absorbed the design concept of an armored vehicle.

The impact car is more than two meters high. There are three pairs of large wooden wheels. It is divided into two layers. The lower layer is one person high. There are twelve soldiers and three rows of three horizontal bars in the car. This is the power of the impact car; High, without a ceiling, soldiers stand on the upper floor, with their upper body sticking out of the vehicle, soldiers can stand on the vehicle and shoot the surrounding targets.

In addition, the front of the impact vehicle is tapered and armored, so that the impact vehicle can rush into the enemy's army with the enemy's spear.

The purpose of the impact vehicle is to attack the enemy's formation head-on.

Chen Chu was very satisfied with the design of the impact vehicle, and he was full of expectations for the use of the impact vehicle on the battlefield. He was eager to see the scene of the impact vehicle killing the enemy on the battlefield.

The effect of the impact car was very good during the experiment, which can be said to have exceeded expectations.However, due to the productivity of this era, the production of impact vehicles is very limited, so far there are only a few hundred vehicles.

When Chen Chu said excitedly to Lu Bu, "All the shock vehicles will be equipped for the Luoyang Army in Shangjun", Lu Bu's expression was very strange.Although he listened to Chen Chu's explanation of the purpose of the impact vehicle, Lu Bu was deeply skeptical about whether the impact vehicle could achieve the desired effect, and he would rather Chen Chu transfer a thousand cavalry to him.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was already evening.But Lu Bu still didn't seem to have seen enough, everything here really opened his eyes.At this moment, he finally understood why the Wuyan Institute was so tightly guarded, and the things inside were definitely worth being protected like this.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The next day, Lu Bu left Bingzhou, and a long convoy followed Lu Bu.What this convoy transported was all kinds of ordnance that Lu Bu saw in the Institute of Military Research yesterday. [

Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a tinge of longing. He longed to see the spectacular scene of his soldiers wielding horizontal knives and fighting across the field. ! ~!
