Chapter 182 Experimenting with New Weapons
"Master!"
As soon as Chen Yang walked to the weapons factory, he saw Ma Jun getting up among a pile of wood.
"How are the Three-Bow Bed Crossbow and Thunderbolt Car?" Chen Yang asked.
"Lord, those two things happened to be made last night, but we haven't tried them and didn't have time to notify you. I saw that there were so many new refugees today, but they were not revealed."
Ma Jun said, and then took Chen Yang to the innermost part of the factory.
There are two huge pieces of cloth here, covering the three-bow crossbow and the thunderbolt chariot.
Just watching Ma Jun pull the cloth apart, two things made of iron and wood appeared in front of Chen Yang.
"You did this very well. Now there are many new refugees and many people and eyes. It is not suitable to reveal our secrets."
Chen Yang nodded, and at the same time he was also considering the issue of confidentiality.
In the future, a wall would have to be built in the weapons factory to completely block the refugees outside.
Putting this idea temporarily, Chen Yang looked at the Three Bow Bed Crossbow and the Thunderbolt Car again, doing the same thing as he thought.
"Ye Shun, please help me find someone to inform the Prime Minister, just say that I have new weapons that can defeat Yuan Shao, so let him come and have a look." Chen Yang said.
The first time I tried these weapons, it was better for Lao Cao and the others to watch.
Ye Shun, the first tool in the factory, listened to the order and immediately found someone to go back to Xudu.
Less than an hour later, Cao Cao and the others rushed to the factory in a hurry.
The new weapons Chen Yang made never disappointed Lao Cao. For example, the previous crossbows completely subverted their understanding of crossbows.
This time, when I heard that there were new weapons, Lao Cao and the others came at the first time.
In addition, there were also civil officials and strategists such as Guo Jia, as well as military generals such as Xiahou Dun.
At this time, they had gathered outside the factory with thousands of people.
"Zi'an, where is your new weapon?" Cao Cao asked anxiously as soon as he jumped off his horse.
"Prime Minister, don't be anxious. Ma Jun, please pull the three-bow crossbow and the thunderbolt cart outside. The factory is too small and there is no effect. Let's go to the woods outside to try the power."
After listening to Chen Yang's order, Ma Jun hurriedly went to make preparations.
When these two weapons appeared in front of everyone, they still used cloth to block them, making the new refugees very curious. They didn't know what it was.
Soon, they arrived outside the factory, next to a dense forest.
After so many days of snow, there was already a lot of snow on the ground, and snowflakes were falling in the sky, but under the sun, it was still very warm today.
As Ma Jun untied the blocked cloth, Cao Cao and the others surrounded him and looked at the three-bow bed crossbow and the thunder chariot curiously.
"Zi'an, what is this? The shape is so strange!"
"Fix the three large bows on it, is it the new crossbow you made by Zi'an?"
"Also, what is this? Why can't I see it? Where is it useful?"
Among the onlookers, they expressed their opinions one after another.
"Zi'an, your thing is not a new crossbow arrow, right? But it's too big!" Cao Ren looked at the three-bow crossbow, picked up a long arrow made of solid wood next to him, and asked curiously.
"This is called the Three-Bow Bed Crossbow."
Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "Ma Jun, come and demonstrate it to them."
Ma Jun immediately instructed several craftsmen to adjust the position of the three-bow crossbow, aim it in the direction of the woods, and then fix the long arrows made of the solid wood on it.
Because the strings of the bow and crossbow were too strong, Ma Jun and other craftsmen were not strong enough to pull them, so they finally found more than a dozen soldiers to help pull them so that they could spread the strings.
"What's the use of such a crossbow?" Xiahou Yuan asked curiously.
"You will know what's the point when you see the effect later." Chen Yang smiled and said, "Let go!"
Whoosh!
A harsh sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and then the entire three-bow crossbow vibrated, and the long wooden arrow fixed on it shot out in an instant.
The long arrow rushed into the woods at an extremely fast speed and hit a tree as thick as a bowl.
Click!
Trees cannot stop the impact of long arrows and are cut off in half.
The long arrow continued to drive straight in, with unstoppable momentum and reached the depths of the woods in the blink of an eye.
Wherever the arrow passed, snowflakes were flying and trees fell, and the scene was very shocking.
quiet!
The scene was quiet.
Everyone stared wide and looked at the destructive power of the three-bow crossbow and the falling trees in disbelief.
Even the craftsmen such as Ma Jun who made the crossbows were stunned when they saw this.
They could not have imagined that what they made would have such a powerful destructive power.
After a while, Cao Cao was the first to recover. He hurriedly said, "Come here, come in and see how far the long arrow can shoot and how powerful it is!"
"I'll go!"
Xu Chu first walked into the woods.
"I'll go and see it too!"
When Cao Hong saw this, he couldn't help but feel excited and immediately followed Xu Chu.
After a long time, the two finally came back.
Xu Chu was still carrying the long arrow of the hard wood, and their faces were full of excitement and excitement.
"Prime Minister, such powerful arrows have cut off five trees with a large bowl of mouth. I have never seen such a powerful weapon!" Xu Chu waved the long arrow of a strong wood and said excitedly.
"I probably estimated that the range can be more than 800 steps."
Cao Hong's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he continued: "If it weren't for trees, the range would definitely be more than a thousand steps. If it was used to deal with cavalry, the effect would be excellent!"
"What!"
Cao Cao screamed in surprise and said, "The range can reach more than one thousand steps. If it is used to deal with Yuan Shao's cavalry, the enemy has not yet approached and has been strangled by arrows like us. This is simply a magic weapon to kill the enemy on the battlefield!"
Just imagine how shocking the scene would be if the cavalry was charging a thousand steps away.
The other generals have experienced many battles and naturally know the strength of the cavalry. When they see Chen Yang's three-bow crossbow, they are definitely a magical tool to break through the cavalry.
"Zi'an, you have another weapon here, what's the use?" Xiahou Dun looked at the thunder cart next to him, and he asked with even more anticipation.
When the others heard Xiahou Dun's words, their eyes fell on the body of the Pili Vehicle. The three-bow crossbow was so strong that the Pili Vehicle must be nowhere short of it.
"This is called Pili Car, used for siege. Ma Jun, please demonstrate it again!" Chen Yang said.
Ma Jun quickly adjusted the angle of the Pili Car. He looked around and directed a few people to move a stone as big as a millstone.
"You guys are too slow, let me do it!"
Dian Wei saw that several craftsmen were working so hard, so he stepped forward and used his hands to lift the stone easily. He then placed it on the thunder cart as Ma Jun ordered.
"Lao Dian, good strength!" Chen Yang exclaimed.
Dian Wei giggled and then looked at the Pili Car expectantly.
"Ma Jun, start throwing stones!" Chen Yang said again.
Ma Jun operated it and then placed the huge stone on the Pili Carriage, which was thrown up under the strong elastic force.
boom!
The stone flew out and fell on a hillside in front. Snowflakes, soil and debris flew up at the same time, and then the sound was loud and the power was extremely powerful.
However, the shock brought by the Thunderbolt Car is not as powerful as the Three-Bow Bed Crossbow. Because of the power of the Three-Bow Bed Crossbow, Cao Cao and the others were mentally prepared and soon reacted.
"If a stone suddenly rises and falls on the city wall while siegeing the city, it can not only smash the soldiers guarding the city, but also smash the enemy's wall."
Cao Cao's voice was filled with a hint of excitement, and he said, "This kind of magic weapon for siege is too powerful!"
