The distance from Wuling to Jinling is about 2,000 miles, and Shenxing Taibao walked fast enough, stopping and stopping along the way, stopping and walking, and it took three days and three nights to rush to Zhuge Liang's military camp.

With Zhuge Liang's ingenuity and extraordinary talent for invention, with the drawings and principles explained, it is natural to make Zhuge Repeater and Wooden Ox Flowing Horse.

"Your Majesty is really a genius, and you can't shine as bright!" After reading the drawings and instructions, Zhuge Liang applauded and admired Liu Wei's talent for invention, but he didn't know that this was his own idea.

Dai Zong ran fast, Zhuge Liang refused to show weakness, and also spent three days of effort, with the assistance of several skilled craftsmen, to make five crossbows.

Compared with the weapons of later generations, the shape of these repeaters is a bit like a machine gun, and their lethality is also equivalent to that of a machine gun in this era of cold weapons. The whole repeater is made of bronze mixed with iron, about five feet long, weighing about 30 catties, and ten crossbow arrows with a length of one foot and three inches can be stored in the crossbow machine, and can achieve continuous shooting like a machine gun.

The war is imminent, and the appearance of repeaters can greatly enhance the lethality of their own army, and the manufacture of crossbows is much simpler than that of wooden oxen and flowing horses, so Zhuge Liang decided to temporarily make a batch of "repeater machines" and named them "Yuanrong crossbows".

As for the wooden oxen and flowing horses, which have a more complex structure and a more mysterious principle, it is much more difficult to manufacture; And Liu Bian's reminder is only a few words, just an idea, as for the specific operation, Liu Biao doesn't know, this qiē has to rely on Zhuge Liang himself. Apparently not overnight, and there is no rush to use it at the moment. Therefore, Zhuge Liang plans to put the wooden cow and flowing horse for the time being.

Under the winter sun, Cheng Biting Jin embraced the crossbow. smiled from ear to ear: "Let me show you Lao Cheng first!" ”

The voice fell, and Cheng Yanjin moved the firing string of the crossbow machine with his hand. I only heard the sound of "duh, duh, duh" non-stop, and the crossbow machine spit out three or four crossbow arrows in a row like a jet machine gun, and the force was strong, and it shot out one hundred and fifty or sixty zhang with the sound of whistling wind. The arrows fired by ordinary archers were about forty or fifty feet farther.

"Tsk...... Kong Ming, you kid is really unprecedented, a few days ago he invented the Kong Ming lantern, and now he has created the Yuan Rong crossbow, even if Lu Ban is reborn, he can't catch up with you! ”

Cheng Yanjin held the Yuanrong crossbow in his hand, and he couldn't put it down, "This crossbow machine belongs to my old Cheng." Don't rob me of anyone, or I'll be in a hurry with him! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Why is General Zhijie making such a fuss? From today on, Liang will gather all the craftsmen in the army to make the Yuan Rong crossbow day and night, and it must be hundreds or thousands by then, so do you want to take it as a treasure? ”

"I don't care, I just want this first one!" Cheng Biting Jin didn't care what Zhuge Liang said, and ran back to his camp with the Yuan Rong crossbow.

The crossbow was successfully developed, and Zhuge Liang immediately took all the craftsmen in the army. Even the soldiers who knew a little about blacksmiths, carpenters, and leathermen were all gathered together and made Yuanrong crossbows day and night. Hundreds of people rushed to work day and night, and it took two or three days to make the first batch of 300 "Yuanrong crossbows".

Zhuge Liang personally tested and selected, and selected one hundred and ninety qualified crossbows to be distributed as a crossbowman. Let them follow Yang Yansi to practice the use of the "Yuan Rong Crossbow" on the school grounds, and the remaining 110 unqualified crossbow machines will be sent back for rework until they fully meet the requirements.

Shichiro carried the Yuanrong crossbow with hundreds of crossbowmen carefully selected from the three armies. After practicing for only a morning, he came to the handsome tent to look for Zhuge Liang in frustration: "Kong Ming." I can't command this crossbowman! ”

"Oh? Haven't the Seventh General always been afraid of heaven and earth? This is the first time I've seen you discouraged and retreated? Why? Zhuge Liang put down the battle plan in his hand and asked with a smile.

Yang Yansi shrugged. An expression with an expression that is not as good as others: "Eighteen kinds of martial arts, I can play a few times with swords, guns, swords, halberds, but I can't do archery!" I thought that this Yuan Rong crossbow was different from ordinary bows and arrows, who knows if it doesn't work without a crosshair. Hundreds of crossbowmen are almost all shooting more accurately than me, how can I be embarrassed to command them again? You better let Cheng Yanjin lead them! ”

"This Yuan Rong crossbow is intended to be used when you take the crossbowmen to attack Wuling, Cheng Zhijie doesn't dare to take the sky lantern, how can he let him command?" Zhuge Liang has a difficult face, and he is more accustomed to calling it a "sky lantern" for the Kong Ming lantern that others say.

At this moment, the captain guarding the gate of the village came to report: "General Qi Zhuge , the team escorting supplies has arrived from Jinling, and General Yang Guerrilla and General He Yuanqing, who are in charge of escorting, are waiting for orders outside the gate. ”

With a large amount of kraft paper, you can make Kong Ming lanterns, and with Kong Ming lanterns, you can attack Wuling and catch Sun Jun off guard. Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, and immediately took Yang Yansi and Cheng Yanjin out of the handsome tent and went to the gate of the village to greet him.

Yang Youji and He Yuanqing not only brought a large amount of high-quality kraft paper, but also brought more than a thousand craftsmen to help Zhuge Liang make Kong Ming lanterns and repeaters. All of them were equipped with two horses, and they changed their horses along the way, and they hurried with all their might, and it took four or five days of hard work to reach Wuling.

After greeting and handing over the materials, Yang Youji handed Zhuge Liang a letter of recommendation from the emperor: "This is a letter from His Majesty, in addition to ordering the two of us to escort the supplies, I also asked me to serve under General Kong Ming to assist you in taking Wuling." ”

Zhuge Liang carefully read the letter of the Son of Heaven, and said to Yang Youji overjoyed: "It turns out that General Yang is actually a famous marksman, it's really good!" Liang Zhengchou couldn't find a general to lead the crossbowmen, and General Yang could take up this position. ”

Cheng Yanjin was very interested in the newly invented Yuanrong crossbow, so he wanted to be the commander of this crossbowman, and at this moment, he saw that Yang Youji had just robbed his messenger, so he looked disapproving: "Kong Ming, you are too partial, right?" Is it because I Lao Cheng molested your daughter-in-law, so you put me in small shoes? His name is Yang Guerrilla, could it be that he is the reincarnation of Yang Youji? Why did you just come here to be a crossbowman commander! ”

Yang Qilang immediately stood up to defend Yang Yuji: "Cheng Fairy, what do you mean?" In terms of seniority, I have to call the guerrilla general uncle, in our hometown, Uncle Yang's archery skills are unparalleled, known as the reincarnation of Yang Youji, you can compare if you don't accept it? ”

"Hi...... My archery skills in our old Cheng family are also incomparable, my grandfather, my grandmother, my seven aunts and eight aunts are not accurate as my shooting, am I going to be called Yang Youji to be reincarnated? Compare and compare, who is afraid of whom! ”

Cheng Yanjin suddenly became interested, and ordered the soldiers to take a bow and arrow, hang a pair of armor at the gate of the yuan, and said proudly:

"Although my old Cheng can't shoot through seven layers of armor like Yang Yuji, he can still shoot through a layer of armor within a hundred steps!"

Zhuge Liang also wanted to see Yang Youji's archery skills, and by the way, he set up his prestige, and he didn't stop it at the moment, and Cheng bit Jin to make trouble. Hearing that Cheng Yanjin, who was given by the emperor to tease, was going to test the bow and arrow with the new general, he immediately gathered many soldiers to watch the excitement.

"Look!"

Cheng Yanjin shook his spirit in front of everyone, withdrew a hundred steps away, bent his bow and arrows, aimed at the armor hanging on the gate, and with a shake of his fingers, the arrow came out of the string. With a "duh", the sharp arrow pierced through the armor, attracting a cheer.

"How?" Cheng Yanjin walked up to Yang Youji triumphantly, "The bow is for you, it's your turn!" ”

Yang Yuji did not take the iron tire bow that bites the gold, and arched his hand; "I have to be ugly."

Turning his head and asking, "Is there a five-stone strong bow in the army?" Fetch me one, and hang seven pieces of armor on the gate!" ”

The bows used by ordinary soldiers are about one stone, and the slightly more powerful ones use two-stone bows, and Cheng Yanjin just shot through a layer of armor is a two-stone bow, and the marksmen who are known as a hundred steps through Yang generally use three-stone bows. The entire Han Dynasty can draw a five-stone strong bow, and then there are very few people who have a crosshair. Xue Rengui is counted as one, Huang Zhong is counted as one, Tai Shici is also counted as one, and there are other people who can pull the five-stone strong bow, but they are indeed far behind in the crosshairs.

Hearing that Yang Guerrilla was going to shoot through the seven-layer armor with a five-stone strong bow, reproducing the scene of Yang Yuji's divine shooting in history, the onlookers present discussed a lot, and all kinds of arguments were very loud. There are those who wait and see, those who disagree, those who are cynical, those who are enthusiastic, and in short, everyone's eyes are wide open.

Cheng Yanjin rolled his eyes: "Bragging, right?" Knowing that there is no five-stone bow in the army, you have to ask for a five-stone bow, why don't you want ten stones? Come on, prepare a three-stone bow for him, this is the strongest iron-tired bow in our army! ”

Yoyuki smiled and ordered his subordinates to take their own bows: "Then forget it, I have a five-stone bow myself." ”

"Are you not playing tricks on me Lao Cheng?" Cheng bit the golden beard and stared.

"I'm afraid of using my own bow, General Cheng will say that I do my hands and feet on the bow, and using the bow in the army is to avoid quarrels!" As he spoke, Yoyuki retreated one hundred and fifty steps, tried to pull the bowstring, and slowly aimed at the seven-layer armor hanging from the gate.

Cheng bit Jin crossed his hands on his waist and shouted: "What bow do I care you use?" As long as you can shoot through the seven-layer armor, I will obey you by biting the gold, and from now on I will not call you 'Yang Guerrilla', I will call you Yang Yuji instead! ”

Yang Yuji smiled: "The person I admire the most in my life is Yang Yuji's predecessors, so he changed his name to Yang Guerrilla, if he can achieve his archery skills, it is naturally a blessing for three lives!" ”

Before the words fell, Yang Youji Qi Shen Dantian, pulled the five-stone strong bow like a full moon, and shouted "Medium!" ”

I saw that the sharp arrow flew out like a lightning bolt with the sound of the wind, making a piercing sound of piercing the metal, and pierced through the seven layers of armor.

"Ah......" Cheng Yanjin was stunned, his jaw dislocated, and it took a lot of effort to close his mouth.

All the people present who watched the excitement were shocked, applauded and cheered, and shouted in unison, "Yang Youji is reincarnated", and Zhuge Liang was full of ambition to break through Wuling, "With the help of such a marksman, why worry that Wuling will not be broken!"
