Chapter 978 (1/2)

”Kongming, you've done a good job. This wooden ox Liuma is really meritorious to the country. The solitary society wants to ask you for credit for the son of heaven. How about going to work in the solitary shogunate?” Liu Ye invited Zhuge Liang.

”Thank you for your kindness, but I have one more thing to show you.” Zhuge Liang said again.

”Oh? Although Kong Ming brings it, the things he creates will surely be of great use. ” Liu Ye said with a smile.

Zhuge Liang said slowly: ”this weapon of the military state should not be tried many times. The wooden ox and flowing horse can still be used for civilian use in the future. However, it must be controlled by the government. Otherwise, I am afraid there will be endless disasters. Please hold back all the people.”

Seeing Zhuge Liang's solemn appearance, Liu Ye immediately nodded his head and said, ”all of you should step down for the time being.”

In addition to Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Guan Hai accompanying Liu Ye, all the guards and craftsmen retreated. Only Zhuge Liang and Ma Jun were still in the yard.

”Deheng, go and take it out.”

Ma Jun turned around and took out one thing, which was covered with sackcloth and then slowly opened.

”Is this... A crossbow?” In front of Liu Ye.

”Yes, it's a crossbow.” Zhuge Liang said: ”the ordinary crossbow can only shoot three or five arrows, but the crossbow mechanism of this kind of crossbow can shoot ten shots at a time, continuously!”

In fact, the crossbow was invented and used very early. The Qin state, which unified the six kingdoms, used the crossbow skillfully. Because of the delicacy of the Qin method, the bronze crossbow machine almost reached the standard of automatic production.

The reason why the Qin state was able to cope with the strong Zhao in Hu Fu, Meng Tian led 300000 Qin troops to expel Xiongnu in Hetao area, and Qin crossbow contributed a lot.

”Therefore, some named it profit and loss crossbow.” Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with a smile.

Liu ye may be able to confirm that this is the prototype of Zhuge Liannu. According to the records of the Three Kingdoms Shu Shu biography of Zhuge Liang, the bright nature is good at thinking skillfully, and the profit and loss Liannu and the wooden ox flowing horse all have their own meanings. It is very important to deduce the art of war and make eight battle plans. According to Wei's spring and Autumn Annals, there are rules and regulations to train Li's officials. Also profit and loss crossbow, known as Yuanrong, with iron as the arrow, arrow length of eight inches, a crossbow ten arrows all hair.

Zhuge crossbow, also known as profit and loss crossbow and Yuanrong crossbow, has a length of eight inches. One shot is ten arrows. However, it is not small, so it is difficult for a single soldier to use. It is mostly used in the defense of the city stronghold, and it is good to attack the city.

”You go up and test it.” Liu Ye said to several guards beside him.

In the open space, a target had already been set. The two guards went dozens of steps away and lifted Zhuge crossbow. They worked together and aimed the crossbow at the target.

Launch!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of the arrow breaking through the air was heard. Ten arrows were sent out together, all of them were nailed on the target. The target was directly shot through, and the arrow penetrated the target and shot out. If it was shot on the human body, it could be imagined that the crossbow was really ferocious.
