Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 528 Special Crossbow Arrows

"My lord, the general is thinking, since the fleet is equipped with catapults, why not also install the Zhuge giant crossbow. The catapult strikes at a long distance, and the giant crossbow can destroy at a medium distance, while the archers can consume at a short distance. In this way , the Jiaolong Fleet will not be afraid of the enemy's surprise attack."

Dongfangqiang was not distracted, but was thinking about how the fleet could be stronger.The catapult can only strike from a long distance. Once the enemy forces recklessly attack, the catapult will lose its effectiveness.

In the case of enemy ships surrounding them, it is inevitable that the battleship will not be damaged.After all, the battleship is covered with iron sheets, and the entity is still a wooden structure!

If the Zhuge crossbow is installed on the battleship, then when the enemy ship is approaching, it can also carry out medium-range strikes.The Zhuge crossbow is very powerful and has the ability to penetrate enemy ships at close range.

Of course, when the enemy desperately wants to fight, the fleet can retreat, but in case of a situation where it cannot retreat, it must fight, just like Cai Mao's attack last time.If you retreat, they will attack the water village.

Dongfangqiang's suggestion is very pertinent. The all-round strike capability can indeed enhance the strength of the warship.

Moreover, the difficulty of installing the catapult has been solved, and installing a few giant crossbows is not a problem at all.

"Dongfang, you are really my lucky general!"

After listening to Dongfang Qiang's suggestion, Wu Shun's eyes lit up, and the battleship could really continue to strengthen.Why didn't he think of it before?
Thoughts still have certain limitations!

Wu Shun secretly thought.

Even people like Zhuge Liang and Fazheng didn't think about installing giant crossbows on battleships.It can be seen that there is really a specialization in the art industry.

Generals like Dongfang Qiang think about how to train soldiers and how to win battles every day.And Zhuge Liang and the three had too many things to do, and their energy was too scattered.

Wu Shun also wanted to find someone to relieve the burden on Zhuge Liang and the others, but the Wuling Army was "notorious", and the talents cultivated by Yizhou College still needed to be honed step by step. He could not find talents who could directly share the pressure with Zhuge Liang and others.

"Everyone, Dongfang just put forward a proposal to install Zhuge giant crossbows on the battleship! What do you think?"

Wu Shun turned around and told everyone Dongfang Qiang's suggestion just now.

After listening, all the generals looked at Dongfang Qiang with changed eyes.

The chief general of the Suzaku Legion didn't think about how to enhance the strength of the Suzaku Legion, but thought of how to strengthen the battleship.This kind of heart is really ashamed.

"Great General of the East!"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said:

"The battleship is equipped with a giant crossbow, and it has strong attack power from far, middle and near. The combat power of the Jiaolong fleet has increased a lot."

"Yeah, but the navy is suddenly so strong, I feel the pressure! Hahaha..."

The chief general of the Xuanwu Legion, Wen Pin interjected at this moment, making everyone burst into laughter.

Isn't that right, the navy is suddenly too strong, they are the "veteran" elite army Alexander.

Amid the laughter of the crowd, the Jiaolong Fleet completed today's rehearsal, and Gan Ning got off the battleship, walking towards Wu Shun.

"Xingba, you are lucky!"

Before Gan Ning could reach Wu Shun, he was hit by Shi Zhongyu.

"Haha, smelly stone, are you envious?"

Gan Ning turned back to Shi Zhongyu for a while, and left a word of coquettishness.

"Xingba, you are lucky!"

Shi Zhongyu said seriously.

"It's all from the lord!"

Gan Ning patted Shi Zhongyu's shoulder and said seriously.

Without Wu Shun, there would be no Wuling Navy, let alone the Jiaolong Fleet today!
After Shi Zhongyu, all the generals congratulated Gan Ning.Soon after the navy was rebuilt, it was greatly strengthened.What an enviable thing.

After Gan Ning thanked him one by one, he came to Wu Shun and knelt down on one knee:

"Last General Gan Ning, see your lord!"

"Xingba, how many times have I told you that you don't need to do such a great gift with armor on!"

Wu Shun helped Gan Ning up, his eyes were full of relief.Today's naval exercise was very successful.Especially the two bombardment of the target ship, the scene of flying debris is really inspiring!
"My lord, when will we attack Jingzhou? The Flood Dragon Legion invites you to fight!"

The soldiers are ready, they want to destroy the Jingzhou navy and dominate the Yangtze River Basin!Then we have to go to sea along the Yangtze River...

"Hehe, don't worry about Xingba. It won't be long before I, Yizhou, will attack the Central Plains by land and water simultaneously! But, it's not the time yet."

Wu Shun spoke in a loud voice, because he said this not only for Gan Ning, but also for the important ministers and generals in the army present at Yizhou.

"My lord, don't worry, when the Wuling army goes out to fight, they will be invincible!"

This is the promise of the generals of the Wuling Army to Wu Shun, the lord!
One day, when the Wuling army enters the Central Plains, it must be a sweeping gesture!
"It won't be long before the troops enter the Central Plains! In the days to come, please work together and train your troops well!"

Wu Shun looked at these generals under his command with deep eyes.

"The last will obey!"

The generals answered.

After the naval exercise, the generals immediately returned to their respective stations.Wu Shun and Zhuge Liang were in Wuling County, and at the same time, they recruited Pu Yuan.Because the battleship needs to be refitted, and they need to discuss it.

In the prefect's mansion, Pu Yuan looked at the blueprint in his hand and said helplessly:

"My lord, at most four crossbows can be installed on each of the two strings of a battleship. Too many crossbows will interact with the ram."

There are a total of eight rams on the battleship, and three on the side.In order for the warship to exert its maximum combat power, Zhuge giant crossbows cannot be installed too many.

"Four? Twenty is equal to eighty. Eighty crossbow salvos are enough!"

Wu Shun laughed.

"Kong Ming, what do you think?"

Although he felt that enough was enough, Wu Shun still wanted to hear Zhuge Liang's opinions and opinions.

"The giant crossbow is enough, I'm afraid Mr. Pu Yuan won't have time to make it."

Zhuge Liang said.

Sometimes, the more killers, the better. How could someone with an IQ like Zhuge Liang not understand this truth.

"Master Pu Yuan, may I make some crossbow arrows with chains?"

Zhuge Liang asked Pu Yuan.

"A crossbow bolt with a chain? Yes, it is possible. I don't know if it is more useful than a crossbow bolt?"

When Pu Yuan asked such a rhetorical question, Wu Shun also became interested.

"Yes, Kong Ming, what is the use of this crossbow bolt with chains?"

Wu Shun asked.

He knew that Zhuge Liang would not think of something unrealistic.If those chains weren't of much use, he wouldn't have said it.

"My lord, in a water battle, if the enemy ship wants to escape, but our warships are unable to intercept it, what should we do?"

Zhuge Liang didn't answer directly, but asked Wu Shun another question.

"The enemy ship wants to run away, but if we can't intercept it, what else can we do?...Could it be that Kong Ming wants to hook the enemy ship with a crossbow?"

Once the crossbow arrows with chains hit the enemy ship, they are directly inlaid on it. If they are connected by chains, the enemy ship will not be able to escape.

Thinking of this, Wu Shun had to admire the brains of people in this era.Really give some hints, anything can come up.

"Master Zhuge, can you draw a sketch, and Pu Yuan will build it as soon as he returns."

After knowing the usefulness of this chain crossbow, Pu Yuan has already thought of how to make this special crossbow.
