The little bell was eager to try, and Lu Bu asked people to get a few strong crossbows.

In order to prevent his daughter from being injured, Lu Bu personally configured the little bell, pulled the crossbow string, and loaded the crossbow arrows in the arrow slot. After the loading was completed, Lu Bu confirmed it again and again, and then handed it to his daughter, and told her the key points of crossbow shooting: "Little bell, first look at the tip of the arrow through the 'Wangshan', and then aim at the target you want to fire, so that the three points become a straight line, and then pull the trigger." ”

The little bell let out a sweet 'um', took the slightly heavy crossbow, and aimed at the distant arrow target in a similar manner.

After aiming, the little bell pulled the trigger without hesitation, without the slightest drag.

The bolt '咻~' loaded in the arrow slot shoots out.

Regrettably, however, the arrow did not hit the target.

Little Bell was a little disappointed on her face, and then tried five or six more times, and she was also a character who refused to admit defeat.

With the experience of previous failures, the crossbow bolt was fired for the sixth time, and finally lived up to its mission with a soft and muffled sound of 'dong'.

Although it didn't hit the bull's-eye, it was fortunate that it was on target.

"Yay! Daddy, I'm in! ”

The little bell cheered with joy, and her face was filled with a very happy smile, and her heart was even happier than eating honey.

The daughter is happy, and Lu Bu's mood is also very good.

He didn't really like to use a crossbow himself, because it was very simple to operate, didn't require much shooting skills, and even civilians could easily learn how to use it.

And for a sharpshooter of Lu Bu's level, what they are pursuing is incomparable precision, and the feeling of the unity of the human bow is a realm that a crossbow can never reach.

Comparing the advantages and disadvantages of crossbows and bows, crossbows actually have many advantages. For example, the range is longer, the accuracy is high, and so on, but the real advantage over the bow is that it has the delay of firing. After the bolt is loaded, you can fire it whenever you want. The crossbowman can wind the crossbow and aim carefully and slowly, or follow the commander's command to pull the crossbow.

But there is one thing that a crossbow is far inferior to a bow, and that is efficiency.

Normally, the bow has about four times the rate of fire of a crossbow. What does this mean, it means that in about 12~15 seconds, an average archer can shoot four arrows, while a crossbowman can only shoot one.

In large-scale battles or fortified battles, accuracy is no longer extremely important, the most important thing is the continuous output of firepower and the density of coverage, from this point of view, the bow is obviously much better than the crossbow.

"Take one with me, and I'll try it too."

Seeing that the operation of the crossbow was simple, Guo Jia was also interested.

However, he used his strength to feed, but he couldn't pull the crossbow string to the 'teeth' hanging on the string, so he had to hand the crossbow to Ma Chao beside him, and said flatteringly: "Meng Qi, do me a favor." ”

This kind of crossbow produced by Hebei is basically more than two stones, and it is difficult to complete the device without enough arm strength. Guo Jia is a weak scholar, if he can successfully fill it, then there is a ghost!

When Ma Chao heard this, he took the strong crossbow with one hand, stretched his arms lightly, and easily hung the crossbow string on the 'tooth' with his fingers, and then loaded the arrows and handed them back to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia flattened the crossbow, recalled the key points of crossbow shooting that Lu Bu had just said, aimed at the arrow target in the distance, and then carefully adjusted the launch angle, but did not pull the trigger for a long time.

"Guo Fengxiao, you are shooting!"

Guo Jia was like an old monk, but Cao Jun and the others were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, and they couldn't wait to go up and help him launch.

But Guo Jia was unmoved.

After a long while, a flock of geese flew by from the north.

said that it was too late, Guo Jia's eyes were lowered, the trigger was pulled in an instant, and the crossbow arrow shot out.

Boom~

With a soft sound, the soldier guarding the arrow target loudly said the crossbow shooting results: hit the bull's-eye!

Hearing this result, everyone, including Lu Bu, was stunned, obviously not expecting Guo Jia to have the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps.

Taking in everyone's surprised appearance, Guo Jia looked down at the crossbow in his hand, the corners of his mouth hooked up and raised, and he smiled and whispered: "It's a little interesting." ”

At the same time, Guo Jia also wondered in his heart whether he could form a team by himself in the future. For nothing else, let these people just load themselves with crossbow arrows, and let him show his skills on the battlefield.

Maybe he can make a combination with Xu Shu at that time, in case he becomes famous on the battlefield in the future, Guo Jia has even thought of a name, and he will call it 'Sword and Crossbow Shuangjie'.

How imposing.

Subsequently, Lu Yi introduced the types of crossbows to Lu Bu, such as arm crossbows, stepping crossbows, waist crossbows, etc. Among them, the most powerful crossbow reaches ten stones, and is called the 'Yellow Shoulder Crossbow'. This kind of crossbow requires the cooperation of at least three or four wrestlers to be launched, and the range can reach an ultra-long distance of 400 paces.

There are more than 2,000 strong crossbows in the barracks, and Koji Yi has specially selected 2,000 strong soldiers to form a strong crossbow battalion.

The effectiveness of a crossbow against light cavalry is much higher than that of a bow and arrow.

At the beginning of the battle with Gongsun Chan at the boundary bridge, Koji Yi broke the strongest white horse Yicong under Gongsun Chan with a strong crossbow, and was able to achieve victory and keep the northern part of Jizhou.

When asked about the promotion of crossbows, Koji Yi said that the materials and processes of crossbows are far more stringent than bows, and the crossbow strings and crossbow arms of strong crossbows are easy to break, and the service life is far less than that of ordinary hard bows.

"The power of this crossbow is there, but unfortunately it can only be loaded one at a time, which is too time-consuming. If you can shoot continuously, it's perfect! Seeing that Guo Jia was having a lot of fun, Yang Xiu also stepped forward to experiment, and said with some emotion.

Koji Yoshi, on the other hand, said that with the current level of craftsmanship, it is impossible to make a crossbow that can be fired continuously. If Master Lu Ban is alive, maybe there is still a possibility.

Lu Bu understood and asked Yang Xiu to write down the matter. Mr. Xice set up a Karakuri workshop in Chang'an a few years ago, specializing in collecting all kinds of capable people, these people may not be able to fight well, but in other areas of side arts, they are extraordinary, maybe they can have ideas.

Subsequently, Lu Bu took everyone back to Fanyang to camp and also recruited Zhang He to chat with Lu Yi about the next strategic plan.

According to the information of the School Affairs Department, in recent days, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have interacted frequently, and they have privately recruited troops on a large scale.

Prior to this, there was first news that King Hongnong was alive, and now it was the Cao and Liu families secretly active, and they didn't know why they were plotting.

Lu Bu had a hunch that under the surging dark tide, these people should all come towards him.

Therefore, it is necessary to speed up the conquest of Hebei, and then turn the gun, defeat Cao and Liu, and take Xuzhou into the bag!
