The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

These strong-strung crossbow arrows shot a hundred and fifty or sixty paces directly with the whistling sound of the wind, which was about forty or fifty paces farther than the arrows shot by ordinary archers!

If compared with the weapons of later generations, the appearance of this Zhuge Crossbow is a bit like a machine gun.

And its lethality is also quite good, very suitable for corps combat!

Now that the war is imminent, the Qin army may invade at any time, and the appearance of Zhuge Liannu can greatly increase the lethality of the army!

Seeing such a powerful Zhuge Crossbow, Liu Rui exclaimed again and again: "Mr. Kong Ming is so powerful. You have made a Zhuge Crossbow so quickly. This time you have made a great contribution!"

"The lord has won the prize. All of this is due to the lord's good control, being able to make the best use of people's talents and making the best use of everything." Zhuge Liang said modestly with his fists folded.

Li Guang, who was on the side, held the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in his hand and said fondly: "My lord, with this crossbow, the combat power of the troops will be improved by several grades. I suggest mass production immediately and equip the troops!"

"Well, good! Just as the general said!" Liu Rui was in a good mood and immediately agreed to Li Guang.

In the next few days, Zhuge Liang immediately gathered all the craftsmen in the mine together and began to produce Zhuge Lianbo day and night.After hundreds of people worked day and night, it took a whole week to manufacture the first batch of [-] Zhuge Crossbows!

Immediately afterwards, it was distributed to the three hundred archers under Liu Rui. Under the leadership of Li Guang, they were organized to familiarize themselves with the performance of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and conduct daily training.

Inspired by Zhuge Liang's continuous crossbow making, Liu Rui suddenly remembered something one day, so he hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang to discuss it.

What Liu Rui remembered this time was the stirrup.

Although the stirrup is a small object, it has played an immeasurably important role in the history of human riding!

Stirrups are a pair of pedals hanging on both sides of the saddle, which are used by the rider to step on the feet when getting on the horse and riding.

The function of the stirrup is not only to help people get on the horse, but also to support the rider's feet when riding, so as to maximize the advantages of riding, and at the same time, it can effectively protect the safety of the rider.

The earliest stirrups were unilateral, and with the development of time, they gradually evolved into bilateral, further liberating the rider's hands, and its appearance changed history to some extent.

Liu Rui knew that a warrior who used stirrups could at least double the power of a cavalry without stirrups!

Liu Rui didn't want to think about the great role of the stirrup in history. He only knew that if he had the stirrup, the combat power of his cavalry would definitely be greatly improved.

Most importantly, as a traveler from the [-]st century, Liu Rui always felt very ashamed of his identity as a traveler.

Now that he finally has the opportunity to put his knowledge into practice, how can Liu Rui not be excited?

After seeing Zhuge Liang, Liu Rui directly explained to him the style of the stirrup he was going to make, and drew a drawing for Zhuge Liang to see.

Although Zhuge Liang was smart, he was not good at horseback riding at ordinary times, and he didn't understand the function of the "stirrup" that Liu Rui said.

So the two came to Li Guang, and Liu Rui described what he was going to make again. Li Guang was also at a loss when he heard it.

Li Guang is too good at horseback riding, and for him, the "stirrup", something he has never seen before, really doesn't see any use, it feels a bit redundant...

However, for the sake of Liu Rui's excitement, the two of them inconveniently swept Liu Rui's happiness, and in the end they could only agree to give Liu Rui a try...

Taking the drawings given by Liu Rui, Zhuge Liang called all the experienced craftsmen together on the same day. After careful discussion, he finally figured out the structure and purpose of the stirrup.

Don't look at this little stirrup, it looks simple, but if you really want to cast it, you need a mold, which is very time-consuming.

In order to save time, Zhuge Liang did not use the casting method, but made a pair directly with bronze.

Although the structure is a bit rough, as a test product, it is enough to meet the needs.

A day later, when the saddle was finished, Zhuge Liang called Liu Rui and Li Guang, and at the same time asked someone to bring a war horse, and hung the newly built stirrup on the saddle.

When Liu Rui saw the saddle, he personally mounted the horse and demonstrated it. As expected, it was indeed much easier to mount.

Seeing that Liu Rui was very comfortable on the horse, Li Guang couldn't help but want to try it. After Liu Rui's consent, he also got on the horse and began to test the usefulness of the saddle.

"Huh? No wonder the lord insists so much, this thing really works!"

After Li Guang got off the horse, he was full of praise for this stirrup.

After that, Zhuge Liang also tried it on the horse, and was very pleasantly surprised, and affirmed the function of the stirrup.

Now that the saddle can be made, Liu Rui immediately asked Zhuge Liang to organize craftsmen immediately, and from now on, a large number of stirrups will be produced and equipped with his cavalry. . ,,.

1111: fight against injustice

Soon, the stirrup was equipped with the cavalry unit. Under the leadership of Li Guang, the cavalry quickly became familiar with the fighting method of the stirrup, and the combat power soared several grades.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang also created a batch of new formation flags, ready to familiarize the soldiers with the training of the Bagua formation.

Chen Taishou also gave Liu Rui the right to recruit troops. Of course, it should not be wasted. Liu Rui selected the best, and soon recruited [-] recruits in Huaicheng.

In addition to the daily training, Zhuge Liang also taught these recruits to be familiar with the Bagua Array.

The gossip formation is most about cooperation, which is the biggest difference from other military formations.

So the more time you spend on your daily training.

Everything is proceeding step by step. In addition to leading the troops to train every day, Liu Rui will often sit in the liquor store in Huaicheng in his spare time, one for drinking and relaxing, and the other for listening to news.

On this day, Liu Rui finished training and came to the restaurant to relax as usual.

But just when the wine was in full swing, several local ruffians walked into the door of the wine shop.

As soon as these ruffians came in, the proprietress of the restaurant hurried up to say hello.

Unexpectedly, a few local ruffians acted on the proprietress and wanted to be indecent.

Seeing this situation, the owner of the wine shop hurried up to relieve the siege, but before he said a word, he angered these local ruffians...

"Old bangzi, what's the matter with you, get out of my way!"
