Chapter 339 Zhuge Crossbow Shows Its Power for the First Time

Gu Rubing was leading his troops towards Taiyuan County at this moment. Although he had Zhuge Liang's guarantee, Gu Rubing said it was impossible not to worry. After all, Guan Yu was guarding there. The loss of Taiyuan County was not a big problem, but If the second brother was gone, Gu Rubing would really have no place to cry.

Before coming, Zhuge Liang gave him a crossbow. As soon as he took it, Gu Rubing felt the exquisiteness of this crossbow. Not to mention anything else, the ten crossbow arrows placed side by side on the crossbow made Gu Rubing Ru Bing already knew what this was.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the brilliant Zhuge Liannu broke the status quo that the crossbow could only be fired one shot at a time. It played a key role in the war when it first appeared.

"Sir, what is this?"

Although Gu Rubing knew what it was, he still pretended to ask, while Zhuge Liang bowed and said.

"My lord, don't call me sir anymore, just call me Kong Ming."

"How can I do that? I have made up my mind. When this matter is over, I will worship you as a military advisor and concurrently serve as prime minister. I hope you will not refuse."

Gu Rubing said seriously. Seeing this, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to bow and bend down again.

"My lord, Kong Ming, thank you for your kindness."

"Sir, haven't you told me what this is?"

Gu Rubing played with the Zhuge Liannu in his hand. Although it was made of wood, the principle was almost the same as the fine steel crossbow that Gu Rubing had seen before. The continuous firing of the fine steel crossbow also used the lever principle to load. The same is true for crossbow arrows, and the repeating crossbow in my hand now. Although it is more cumbersome, it is also one of the best battlefield weapons at the moment.

"My lord, this is a crossbow that I studied in my spare time. Although the crossbows commonly used in the army are powerful, they reload too slowly and their accuracy is insufficient. Therefore, I made this crossbow on a whim. The repeating crossbow can be loaded with ten crossbow arrows at one time, and can be fired continuously without having to re-string the string to charge, and the accuracy is also improved. "

Zhuge Liang concealed how to load and aim to Gu Rubing. Gu Rubing tried it, and sure enough, the accuracy was improved. It was much better than the current crossbow. The continuous fire design not only did not weaken the power of the crossbow, And because of the superposition of continuous shots, the power is especially enhanced.

"Hahaha, okay, what a good thing. Sir, does this crossbow have a name?"

Gu Rubing said excitedly that the effect was better than he expected. If some elite cavalry and scouts could be equipped with such crossbows, the combat effectiveness would be greatly improved.

"My lord, this is just something I did when I had nothing to do. I don't have a name yet."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and understood what Gu Rubing meant.

"Why don't you give this weapon a name, my lord?"

"Okay, since it's a repeating crossbow and it comes from your hand, why not call it Zhuge Liannu."

Gu Rubing said with a smile and said what he was thinking. Zhuge Liang nodded after hearing the name.

"Thank you, Lord, for the name."

Pulling back his thoughts, he saw that the Zhuge Liannu was in the bag next to his horse's belly. At this moment, the white fish belly was exposed on the horizon. The city of Taiyuan County in the distance had already appeared on the horizon. When he saw that there was still a plug on the top of the city. When holding the flag, Gu Rubing breathed a sigh of relief.

"rush!"

Under the command of Gu Rubing, the white soldiers began to charge and moved towards Taiyuan County.

When Gu Rubing saw Guan Yu standing covered in blood among the mountains of corpses and sea of ​​blood, Gu Rubing's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

"Second brother, second brother."

Liu Bei came to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu also smiled after seeing Gu Rubing.

"It turns out that big brother is here."

"Second brother, are you okay?"

"Brother, there is no need to worry. We only have 30,000 soldiers and horses, and they are not enough to defeat Guan."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled.

"My body is covered with the blood of my enemies, so don't worry, brother."

"Hahahaha, okay, second brother, just be fine if nothing happens."

Gu Rubing said with a smile, on the other side, the Bai Jie soldiers had taken over from the Qinglong school swordsman on the battlefield and drove Cao Cao's army back ten miles from Taiyuan County, not daring to advance even half a step further.

In the large tent of Cao camp, Cao Cao was eating breakfast, a bowl of white porridge with some pickles. Cao Cao ate with gusto. When he was about to finish eating, suddenly soldiers came to report.

"Report to the Prime Minister, Liu Bei has arrived at Taiyuan County with an army of 50,000 people, but we failed to attack Taiyuan."

"Report to the Prime Minister, Liu Bei has led his army to join the battlefield. General Xiahou and General Xu are no match and have been defeated."

"Report to the Prime Minister, General Xiahou asks for help!"

Three consecutive military reports made Cao Cao, who was originally in a good mood, instantly furious.

"Ah!"

Cao Cao slammed the bowl on the table. When he reacted, Cao Cao realized that it was not rice and could not take it back.

"Quickly, send troops to support Yuan Rang and Zhong Kang. Make sure to ensure their safety! Retreat slowly, don't panic."

In his rage, Cao Cao did not forget to send troops to support Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu. For Cao Cao, the lives of the two were far more important than the Taiyuan County.

"My lord, now Liu Bei's soldiers have arrived, please lord, please stay out of the way for now."

Xun Yu stepped forward and spoke, and at the same time winked at Dian Wei. Dian Wei had always respected Xun Yu. After seeing Xun Yu's eyes, he understood what Xun Yu meant. He lowered his waist, picked up Cao Cao and left.

Cao Cao was so confused by Dian Wei's sudden attack that he forgot to speak for a moment, but he reacted the next moment.

"Put me down, put me down."

"Hold on, the military advisor just gave me a wink, asking me to take you away, my lord."

After hearing Dian Wei's words, Cao Cao was stunned, but he quickly realized who the military advisor Dian Wei was talking about.

"Put me down, is he your lord or am I your lord?"

"Of course you are, but when you punished me not to drink, the military advisor brought me wine. In this case, I have to listen to the military advisor."

Dian Wei walked as fast as flying, put Cao Cao on Jueying's body, and whipped Jueying's butt. Jueying immediately started to run away. I just escorted my lord back, why did you tell me that I gave you a drink?

After watching Cao Cao leave safely under the protection of Dian Wei, Xun Yu arranged the remaining 20,000 troops to rescue Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu according to the words Cao Cao left before leaving.

After Gu Rubing confirmed that Guan Yu was fine, the two cavalry also joined the pursuit. Gu Rubing and Guan Yu's horses rode swiftly and quickly caught up with the retreating Cao army.

At this moment, the two sides were only a hundred meters apart. Gu Rubing took out the Zhuge Liannu given to him by Zhuge Liang from the cloth bag on the side. He picked it up, leveled it, and fired the bow in one go. There was a sound of arrows piercing the air, and the arrows shot instantly. He flew out and was about to hit Xiahou Dun, but was shot away by Xiahou Dun.

Although crossbows are more portable than large bows and suitable for cavalry to carry, their shortcomings are equally obvious, that is, the power of bows and arrows must be somewhat inferior. Even Zhuge Liang's improved version of Zhuge Liannu also has this shortcoming, but it is still better than others. The crossbow is much better.

Xiahou Dun looked at Gu Rubing holding a crossbow in the distance. Even though his heart was filled with rage, he had no choice but to glare at Gu Rubing fiercely.

But the next moment, several more arrows came through the air. Xiahou Dun originally knocked down a crossbow arrow and relaxed his vigilance. After all, the crossbow could only be fired single-shot and the reloading speed was very slow, so he ignored the people holding the bow behind him. Gu Rubing, who was holding a crossbow, didn't know that the moment he turned back, he was suddenly awakened by several sharp sounds. When he turned back, he could barely avoid shooting down several crossbows, but he was still hit on the shoulder by a crossbow arrow.

Originally, Xiahou Dun's armor was hard enough to block an ordinary crossbow arrow without any problem, but Zhuge Liannu's arrow pierced through the armor like a crossbow arrow. It stabbed into Xiahou Dun's shoulder.

Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu were shocked at this moment. What was that thing Liu Bei just said? Is it a crossbow? The appearance looks no different from a crossbow, but why can it shoot several crossbow arrows in succession?

Without enough time to think about it, the two men led the army to retreat towards Hedong County while fighting.

At noon, Gu Rubing and Guan Yu led the army back to Taiyuan County. On the way back, Gu Rubing curiously checked Guan Yu's panel. He didn't know it. He was shocked when he saw that not only Guan Yu's Spring and Autumn Swordsmanship had already... After reaching the full level, the military commander experience also increased by a full twenty points. What shocked Gu Rubing the most was the legendary military commander point that was already thirty-six points.

"Second brother, when you were stationed in Taiyuan, did you ever fight against anyone?"

Gu Rubing asked, and the two rode their horses forward side by side. Guan Yu didn't want to say anything. After all, Gu Rubing had told him not to go out of the city to fight, but in the end Guan Yu still spoke.

"Yesterday at noon, Cao Cao sent two people to call for formation. They seemed to be named Dian Wei and Xu Chu. They were quite capable. Together, they actually injured me. Yesterday at You hour, when we were attacking the city, Xu Chu , and another general named Xiahou Dun fought with me for a long time, both of them also have some skills. "

After listening to Guan Yu's words, Gu Rubing only had the word "fuck" in his mind. No wonder the legendary generals' points suddenly increased so much. When they were guarding Taiyuan together, they only fought with these generals.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, any one of them could speak a few sentences. Unexpectedly, they were all beaten by their second brother yesterday.

"Second brother has always been brave. I have brought the army doctor with me. Let's go and treat him quickly."

After Hua Tuo's training, Gu Rubing now has a considerable number of army doctors under his command, who can deal with various emergencies. Of course, these army doctors are still incomparable to Hua Tuo, but some simple knife wounds and so on, They still have no problem handling it.

At this time, Gu Rubing finally had time to look at his dashboard. In the pursuit battle just now, he had killed a lot of Cao's troops, so his general experience points should be almost full.

Zhuge Liang was waiting for the two of them in a tent in Taiyuan County. After seeing Guan Yu covered in blood, Zhuge Liang signaled the army doctor on the side to treat Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was puzzled, who was this man with a majestic appearance and outstanding temperament? Just when Guan Yu wanted to ask, Zhuge Liang spoke first.

"Zhuge Kongming has met General Guan."

At this time, Guan Yu's armor had been taken off, revealing Guan Yu's bronze skin and perfect muscle lines. The army doctor had begun to clean Guan Yu's wounds. Guan Yu wanted to get up and respond but couldn't. Gu Rubing walked into the camp. Among them, Guan Yu introduced him.

"Second brother, this is Mr. Wolong whom I invited from Nanyang County, Jingzhou. Zhuge Kongming, sir, this is my second brother. Guan Yunchang."

"I just said hello to General Guan."

"Mr. Zhuge."

Guan Yu nodded slightly in response. The wound was not deep, but it was long and it would be difficult to clean. In addition, the blood had dried up and there was a slight pain at the moment. It was nothing to Guan Yu.

"Brother, I saw you use a crossbow today. It's amazing. You can fire it continuously, and it seems that your power and accuracy have improved. What is that?"

Guan Yu took the initiative to ask questions to distract his attention, while Gu Rubing and Zhuge Liang sat aside.

"That crossbow is called the Zhuge Liannu. It was made by my husband. It eliminated the trouble of reloading the crossbow, and also adjusted the accuracy and power. More importantly, second brother, you have also seen that this Zhuge Liannu, It can fire ten crossbow arrows in succession, and the time to load ten crossbow arrows is not much longer than one. "

"Indeed, sir, you are really a god. At first, I didn't understand why my eldest brother wanted to go to Jingzhou in person at this time. It turns out that meeting Liu Biao was a lie, and asking sir to come out is the real thing."

Guan Yu exclaimed in admiration, and at the same time he thought highly of Mr. Zhuge, who looked like an immortal.

"Brother, I wonder how many Zhuge Liannu there are now? Can they be produced in standard form? If so, after our city-defending soldiers are equipped with this, their combat effectiveness will skyrocket. There are also scouts. If equipped with such a crossbow, it can not only be used as a Used to spy on information, they are an elite team that can roam everywhere.”

After hearing Guan Yu's words, Gu Rubing suddenly laughed.

"Second brother, you don't need to worry about this. Before I came, I had already ordered people to make arrangements for large-scale production according to the drawings given by my husband. It will not take long for our team to be able to make Zhuge Lian with one person. Crossbow."

Guan Yu felt relieved, and the three of them continued talking and laughing.

On the other side, Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu, who were in charge of breaking up the rear, had already gone back to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was scolding Dian Wei for why he resisted him. After seeing Xia Hou and the others came back, Cao Cao stopped scolding and just said angrily.

"If you are a supervisor, you will receive fifty military sticks."

"promise!"

When Dian Wei heard this, his brows lit up with joy, and he turned away and Cao Cao sighed helplessly.

"That's all, let's skip it."

Who knows that Dian Wei is also a stubborn person.

"No, it's inevitable. I'll go right away."

After Xia Hou and Xu Chu entered the camp, they immediately knelt down in front of Cao Cao.

"My lord, if we fail to attack the city, please punish me!"

Cao Cao stepped forward and helped the two men up.

"It has nothing to do with you. Who would have thought that the big-eared thief would come so fast. He came to Bingzhou in person. I think Sun Jian's case will go smoothly. We just need to wait for the good news from Sun Jian. You don't need to blame yourself. Go quickly. Rest."

At this moment, Dian Wei walked in with a bunch of military sticks in his arms and scratched his head.

"Lord, why do you need so many military sticks?"
