Chapter 405 Repeating crossbow attribution and horseshoes
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Dian Wei and Ju Yi couldn't help but curled their lips. You, a cavalryman, want this crossbow to be useless. Do you want to stand still and attack the enemy with crossbow arrows?
"Zilong, Boyu, listen to me, although the crossbow is good, it is not suitable for cavalry, so don't fight."
Yuan Shu also glanced at Zhao Yun, and first rejected the two cavalrymen of Zhao Yun and Gao Lan.
"My lord, who said it is inconsistent with the cavalry? The cavalry also dismounts and fights on foot, so the crossbows can be used."
Zhao Yun still refused to give in. After all, no one would refuse a sharp weapon like the Lian Nu.
"I have prepared another good thing for you, which is ten times and a hundred times more practical than this repeating crossbow."
Looking at Zhao Yun and Yuan Shu, they couldn't help but scratch their heads. Fortunately, he prepared an artifact like a horseshoe for Zhao Yun and the others, which was enough to surprise them.
"All right."
Hearing that Yuan Shu had other preparations, Zhao Yun could not help but lower his eyebrows and accepted the result.
"Lord, I think this repeating crossbow should be given priority to the guards. I believe that with the presence of the repeating crossbow, it will be difficult for any enemy to break through the guard's defense."
Since Zhao Yun and Gao Lan no longer fight, Dian Wei will fight for his own guards no matter what.
"General Dian, Ju Yi has something to say."
As soon as Dian Wei finished speaking, Ju Yi could no longer suppress his ancient power.
"??"
Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar Ju Yi, Dian Wei couldn't help but be stunned.
"Ju Yi, if you have something to say, just say it."
It was rare for Ju Yi to speak, so Yuan Shu wanted to hear what he had to say.
"General Dian said that the guardsmen's continuous crossbows should be invincible. I think this statement is correct or incorrect.
The duty of the guards is to protect the lord. The lord is usually located in the center of the army, and it is impossible for the enemy to attack in front of the formation. Therefore, it is a waste to hand crossbows to the guards.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to hand it over to my troops who have ascended first. The Lord gave this military name to us so that we must ascend first in every battle, so it is well deserved to hand the crossbow to the troops who ascend first."
Ju Yi can be regarded as using his greatest strength. It is easy for him to go into battle to kill the enemy, kill the generals and capture the flag, but it is difficult for him to use his words to take advantage.
"Ju Yi, if you're a man, go out and have a fight. Whoever wins the serial crossbow will be given priority in equipping it. How about that?"
Dian Wei is also a fool, and he is not good at talking, so he prefers to use fists to solve problems.
"Okay, who's afraid of whom?"
Ju Yi had lived in Xiliang for a long time and often interacted with Qiang and Hu people, so he naturally developed an extremely tough character. Although Dianwei people were tall and powerful, he didn't hesitate at all, he just rolled up his sleeves and got started.
"good."
When Dian Wei heard Ju Yi's words, he immediately smiled honestly and walked towards the center of the shooting range.
"enough."
Seeing that the two fools were really about to fight, Yuan Shu couldn't help but frown.
"Lord, calm down."
"Lord, calm down."
"Lord, calm down."
When Yuan Shu was angry, everyone trembled, and the two instigators, Dian Wei and Ju Yi, knelt down on one knee.
"How do you behave? Later, each of you will go get the ten army sticks to serve as a warning to others."
"Dian Wei knows."
"Ju Yi knows."
The two of them laughed secretly at Yuan Shu's punishment. To be honest, it was nothing to people like them. The reason why Yuan Shu gave such a punishment was just a small punishment but a big warning.
"Dianwei."
"exist."
"Ju Yi is right. The Guard's demand for serial crossbows is not too great, so you should stop fighting for the time being."
In fact, Yuan Shu had no intention of letting the guards array their crossbows from the beginning. After all, good steel must be used on the blade.
"As commanded."
Yuan Shu said this, and Dian Wei had nothing to say.
"Ju Yi."
Three of the four generals have been rejected, and only myself is left.
"Ju Yi is here."
"If I give you the repeated crossbow, you can dare to fight on foot and on horseback, cut through the thorns for me, and destroy the Qiang Hu and Xiongnu."
Yuan Shu knew that the Xiandenshishi trained by Ju Yi in history were very powerful, able to defeat superiors from below and fight with cavalry on foot. He believed that this was definitely not unfounded, so he wanted to equip him with the sharpest Zhuge Liannu, hoping that he could continue history.
, to create more brilliant achievements.
"The direction my lord points to is the direction in which the army will advance first, but there is no way to stop him. His thousands of troops will be destroyed."
Ju Yi wanted to bow to Yuan Shu again.
"Okay, the Lian Nu will be given priority to the first troops. Ju Yi, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer in this battle of Bingzhou."
"Lord, if you join the army first, you won't be disappointed."
Yuan Shu reached out to help Ju Yi up and patted his shoulder again.
"Mr. Wen, go and get the horseshoe."
Now that the issue of attaching the repeating crossbow has been solved, the next step is the horseshoe.
"promise."
After a while, Zheng Hun was holding a wooden tray with four half-moon-shaped horseshoes neatly placed on it.
"My lord, what kind of rare object is this? Is it a hidden weapon?"
Zhao Yun looked at the horseshoe, his eyes full of thought.
"Haha, this is called a horseshoe."
Yuan Shu didn't explain too much, he just called out the name of Horseshoe.
"My lord, what you mean is that this thing is used on horses' hooves?"
Gao Lan immediately thought of the use of the horseshoe through its name, but what is the use of the horseshoe?
"My Lord, according to you, horseshoes are iron shoes made for war horses. Is this what you mean?"
If Gao Lan is on the first floor, then Zhao Yun has obviously stood on the second floor, and he has already understood the meaning of the horseshoe.
"Yes, as Zilong said, horseshoes are iron shoes made for war horses. They protect their horseshoes from being worn out by long-distance running and causing wear and tear on the warhorses. At the same time, horseshoes can also improve the grip of the warhorses when they run, providing the basis for charging.
Provide stronger support.”
Yuan Shu was also half-skilled and deceptive. He only had a rough understanding of horseshoes, but this was probably enough to make horseshoes an epoch-making object.
"Lord, is this really the case?"
Although Zhao Yun thought of the wonderful uses of horseshoes, he still found it hard to believe such great benefits.
"The wonderful uses of horseshoes will only be more than what I said. There is no need to snatch this. The craftsmanship camp will go all out to make it and it will definitely meet the needs of the two of you."
"Thank you, Lord."
"Thank you, Lord."
Zhao Yun and Gao Lan looked at each other and smiled. It felt so good not to have to fight.
"In addition, I will help you customize a bilateral stirrup. This will greatly increase the formation rate of the cavalry and also greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry."
Now that he had the horseshoe, Yuan Shu thought of another artifact that he had not made yet.
"What are stirrups?"
After hearing Yuan Shu's introduction to the stirrups, not only Zhao Yun and Gao Lan's eyes lit up, but Xun You, Tian Feng and others next to them also looked over with bright eyes.
"That's what stirrups are like, Mr. Wen, you should make one now."
