Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 399 Wu Shun's Preparation

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

Lu Bu summoned the three brothers Liu Bei again, in order to talk about things in Jingzhou.He had promised Kuai Yue before that as long as Jingzhou could conquer Wuling County, he would send troops to attack Yizhou together.

Now it seems that Liu Biao is dead.He is considering whether to break away from the relationship with Liu Biao.

"Xuande, Jingzhou's 30 troops were defeated, did you know?"

"Oh? The 30 army was actually defeated? How many troops did Wu Shun send? 40? But the total strength of Yizhou is less than 40."

Faced with Lu Bu's question, Liu Bei pretended to be crazy.He is now a member of Lu Bu, how could he get the news before Lu Bu?Even if you get it, you can't say it.

Seeing Liu Bei's surprised and puzzled expression, Lu Bu was fooled away like this.

"The Wuling Army was defending with less than 10 people. After Cai Mao destroyed the Linyuan Shui Army, the Jingzhou Army made no achievements, and even lost in a decisive battle. It is unbelievable."

Lu Bu, who had never faced the Wuling army head-on, could hardly imagine what the scene of the Suzaku army's might would be.All he knew was that it was a shame that 30 men were no match for the Wuling Army with less than 10 men.It also illustrates the fact from the side that the Jingzhou army is not capable of fighting.

"Marquis Wen, after Wu Shun's victory, no matter what he plans, it won't affect Xuzhou. We just need to pay attention to Cao Cao and Sun Ce's movements."

Cao Cao has secretly sent someone to contact Liu Bei, but Liu Bei's foundation is not stable, and he is not sure of overthrowing Lu Bu.The purpose of pretending to be false is just to stabilize Lu Bu and prevent him from discovering his secret actions.

For the sake of Xuzhou, the precautions can be described as well-intentioned.One side is preparing to pit Lu Bu, and the other is preparing to use Cao Cao to pit Lu Bu.

Chengdu, the mansion of the general who conquered the west.

Wu Shun finally waited for the Linyuan report.

"The naval warships are gone! Gouyue Cai Mao, it's all money! But it doesn't matter, just build new ones. Well, we must build powerful, new ones!"

In the Battle of Linyuan, Gan Ning's navy suffered the most damage.What building boats, Meng Chong, and fighting ships were all set on fire.

Fortunately, not many people died. During the battle, Dongfang Qiang tried his best to preserve the water army. As long as the new warships were in place, the water army's combat effectiveness would immediately return to its peak.

"The catapults of the Suzaku Legion and the Zhuge Crossbow have destroyed a lot, so I need to add something."

Ordnance is still available in the weapon shop, if Dongfang insists, he will say, Wu Shun is not too worried.What he was worried about was that there was not enough manpower in the crusade against Jingzhou.

Even if the major legions have filled up their establishments.There are only 2 Suzaku Legion, 2 Qilin Legion, 2 Canglang Legion, 2 Xuanwu Legion, and 2 Water Army, a total of [-] troops.

Wuling County needs at least 1 people to defend.It is too wasteful and not cost-effective to use the navy as ordinary soldiers.Dongfang Qiang would at most take them to strengthen their momentum.

It is a bit too contemptuous of Liu Biao to beat Jingzhou with 9 people.Wu Shun didn't know what to do.There are a little few people, and they are all elites who have been trained hard. It is not worth losing too much.

"Qu'a, send an order to Wei Yan. Say that Dongfang Qiang wants to attack Jingzhou, and ask him and Ma Teng to borrow [-] cavalry to help."

"Yes, the general will make arrangements."

After Ma Teng unified Xiliang, he hasn't said anything yet.Wu Shun had to check if Ma Teng was swollen.If you don't take your own words seriously, it will be a situation of closing the door and beating the dog.

After feeling that there was nothing to arrange, Wu Shun went to the weapon workshop and found Pu Yuan's master and apprentice.He wanted to build a new type of warship, so he needed to discuss some details with the two craftsmen.

"My lord, if you have something to do, you can just send someone to notify Pu Yuan, why do you need to come here in person?"

Seeing Wu Shun coming, Pu Yuan quickly stopped his work to receive his lord.Since coming to Wu Shun's command, Pu Yuan's life has been very fulfilling.What I like to sit is that the materials that I didn't dare to expect before are piled up here like a mountain.For Pu Yuan, this is the place he most yearns for.

"In the battle of Linyuan, all our naval warships were destroyed. I wanted to build a new type of warship, so I came to talk to you and Ou Lao."

Wu Shun went straight to the point.

"My lord, please move!"

Since we are talking about things, naturally we can't talk in a noisy environment.

When he arrived at the resting place of Mr. Ou, Wu Shun ordered someone to bring a pen and paper, and began to draw directly on the paper.Soon, a graphic of a modern warship appeared on the paper.

"The object drawn by the lord is a warship?"

Elder Ou asked uncertainly.

The pattern on the paper, the front end is pointed, raised upwards, without a mast and a sail.Because Wu Shun said just now that all the warships of the navy were destroyed, Ou Lao guessed that the painting was a boat.

"That's right, this is a warship! It's a layer of iron skin! When it encounters an enemy warship, it directly hits it..."

Wu Shun described to Mr. Ou and Pu Yuan the awesomeness of the warships he drew.The two of them were taken aback for a while.

"My lord, this ship has no mast or sail, how can it move?"

Pu Yuan looked at it for a long time, but he didn't understand how the so-called battleship moved.And the whole body is covered with iron sheets. Can this boat float on the water?

"Oh, forgot. I'll draw it again!"

Wu Shun picked up a pen and drew a large impeller under the stern of the ship.

"Here, this is the power source of the battleship. As long as the impeller turns, it can move forward, and turn it backwards to move backward. By controlling one impeller, the battleship can move forward, backward, left, and right. How about it, isn't it amazing?"

When Wu Shun said this, Ou Lao and Pu Yuan were even more dizzy.That thing turns the boat and runs forward?Turning backwards can also make the boat run backwards?There is also a forward and backward movement.Is there such a magical ship in the world?
"My lord? Isn't the bottom of this boat flat, won't it tilt and roll over in the water?"

At the end, Mr. Ou raised a very critical question.Today's warships, whether it is a huge building ship or a small fighting ship Mengchong, all have flat bottoms.

The battleship painted by Wu Shun has a pointed bottom.It violates common sense.

"Hahaha, whether it will turn over or not, you will know when you make a model."

Wu Shun didn't know how to build ships either, he just drew the battleships from his previous life according to his impression.The bottom of the battleship is not flat, and it will certainly not turn over.Wu Shun came to explain the principle, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

Professional people do professional things.Wu Shun gave all the hints and directions that should be given.The next step is to rely on the skilled craftsmen in Yizhou to explore on their own.

Wu Shun believed that with the leadership of Ou Lao and Pu Yuan, the battleship he drew would definitely be built.On that day, all the invincible Jingzhou navy will be scum that can be smashed to pieces.

"Then I will obey the master's instructions and make a model according to the blueprint drawn by the master."

Wu Shunai is famous for his inventions and creations in Yizhou.Wu Shun was able to draw such strange shapes, and it was said that Pu Yuan was not surprised at all about the powerful warships.

"Don't follow my drawing, you should study it first, I just drew it randomly."

Hearing that Pu Yuan wanted to make a model according to the picture he drew casually, Wu Shun stopped him immediately.The things he drew casually did not match up, and there was only a general appearance.

Hearing Wu Shun's objection, Pu Yuan instantly remembered Wu Shun's temper of throwing away the shopkeeper.But he didn't think that Wu Shun couldn't draw detailed pictures, but thought that Wu Shun was testing them.So he said:

"That's right, my subordinates will take this blueprint and ask the shipbuilder to study it. Then make a model."

"Okay, then I'll go back first, remember to call me when the model goes into the water."

"My subordinate understands!"

The new warship has finally started to be developed, and I don't know how long it will take.But Wu Shun was full of expectations.

Two months passed in a flash, and outside Linyuan City, a [-]-strong army gathered to set off.

In Badong County, Yizhou, Pei Yuanshao arrived with [-] cavalry borrowed from Ma Teng.Ready to attack Jingzhou at any time.
