Chapter 314 Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.
When Zhou Yu heard that Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang brothers arrived, he quickly sent Lu Xun out of the camp to welcome the two brothers into the water camp. Lu Xun welcomed Zhuge brothers into the camp. Zhou Yu had been waiting in the central army tent for a long time.
When they entered the tent, Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu and Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang. The two of them looked at each other for a long time.
The two of them could already see each other's extraordinaryness from each other's spirit. Zhou Yu thought to himself, Zhuge Wolong seemed to have some skills.
"Mr. Zhuge, please sit, please sit." Zhou Yu quickly signaled Zhuge Liang to sit down.
After the two of them sat down, they began to ask each other for military strategies. Their communication was shocked.
Zhou Yu thought to himself, Zhuge Kongming is amazing, his talent is far better than my Zhou Gongjin.
Zhou Yu admired Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang admired Zhou Yu in his heart. Zhuge Liang also thought to himself that this great governor of Eastern Wu is not simple, and we join forces to defeat Qin.
As the saying goes, if you drink a friend, you can drink a thousand cups of glass, and you can say a lot without any speculation. When Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu met, they seemed to have met a friend. The two of them chatted from noon to dark, and Zhuge Jin listened on the side and were almost dozing off.
Zhuge Jin looked outside and it was almost dark. Zhuge Jin then said to Zhou Yu: "Grandmaster, I have to go to see the King of Wu before. Why don't you have anything to say? When we see the King of Wu, we will come back and talk."
When Zhuge Jin said this, Zhou Yu realized that it was already dark now. The soldiers who delivered the meal had come several times. Seeing that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were having a hot chat, they did not dare to interrupt them.
"You two, why not stay in my camp for one night?" Zhou Yu asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Jin waved his hand quickly and said, "I can't stop, I can't stop."
Zhuge Jin thought to himself, you wouldn't have enough words. If you stay, I'm afraid you won't have to leave for less than three days. As the journey is approaching, the King of Wu is still waiting in Moling, so he dare not waste time.
The Zhuge brothers stood up and were about to say goodbye. Zhuge Liang took out an object from his arms and said to Zhou Yu: "Grandmaster, arrows are the best for water battles. This object is a serial crossbow designed by me, which can be created by craftsmen in the army."
It doesn't matter if Zhou Yu doesn't look at the diagram of the serial crossbow. When he sees this drawing, Zhou Yu thought to himself, Zhuge Liang is thousands of times better than me. I, Zhou Gongjin, are just proficient in military law strategies, but Zhuge Liang knows astronomy and geography. Even Zhuge Liang understands the study of things.
How could I compare this to Zhou Gongjin? Such talents are like my Eastern Wu, which is a great blessing for me.
Zhuge Jin rushed back to report to King Sun Jian of Wu and took Zhuge Jin to leave Zhou Yu's water camp. As soon as the Zhuge brothers left, Zhou Yu began to carefully examine the drawing in his hand.
The more Zhou Yu looked at it, the more he felt that the design of the crossbow was clever, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he was. The crossbow designed by Zhuge Liang could fire ten arrows in a row, and there was no need to draw the bow and arrow in the middle, just pull the trigger continuously.
"Boyan, Boyan." Zhou Yu called out outside the tent.
Lu Xun sent Zhuge brothers out of the water camp. He had just returned and happened to hear Zhou Yu calling his name and hurried into the camp.
"Governor, what are your instructions?" Lu Xun asked Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu handed the crossbow map in his hand to Lu Xun and ordered: "Go and notify the military craftsmen in the camp to build this crossbow day and night."
Lu Xun took the crossbow picture from Zhou Yu's hand. He saw that the crossbow was really extraordinary when he saw it.
"Governor, this crossbow is very clever. I don't know what its name is?" Lu Xun asked Zhou Yu.
Lu Xun asked Zhou Yu what the name of the crossbow was, but Zhou Yu didn't know. Just when Zhuge Liang was sending him a crossbow picture, Zhou Yu sighed at the clever design of the crossbow. Before he could ask Zhuge Liang the name of the crossbow, Zhuge Jin took Zhuge Liang away.
Zhou Yu thought to himself, since Zhuge Liang didn't say what the crossbow was called, I might as well give it a name.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu said to Lu Xun: "This crossbow was given by Mr. Zhuge. Why not just call it Zhuge crossbow?"
"Zhuge crossbow, Zhuge crossbow."
"A good name given by the governor." Lu Xun echoed.
This Zhuge Lianbi is actually not a good name. This crossbow is a continuous crossbow, so it is naturally called a continuous crossbow. Zhuge is Zhuge Liang's surname. From this point of view, can this Zhuge Lianbi be considered a good name? Zhou Yu said this casually, and Lu Xun flattered Zhou Yu.
From this we can see that this flattery for leaders is also a traditional virtue of our Chinese nation.
"Okay, Bo Yan, let the craftsmen in our camp build this crossbow quickly." Zhou Yu ordered one after another.
Water battles are not as good as land battles. There are countless ways to kill the enemy. However, in this water battle, there are fewer methods to kill the enemy. Bows and arrows can be said to be the most effective ones. If you commit water battles, bows and crossbows are the first.
Every time you shoot an arrow with a crossbow, you have to shoot a new bow and a new arrow. However, the Zhuge crossbow designed by Zhuge Liang can fire ten arrows in a row. In this way, it can be said that the long-range firepower of the Wu army's navy has greatly enhanced.
After receiving Zhou Yu's instructions, Lu Xun took the crossbow map to the craftsman camp. He didn't have much time to go back from the craftsman camp.
"Boyan, have you ordered things?" Zhou Yu asked when he saw Lu Xun come back.
"Grandmaster, you have already ordered it, but..." Lu Xun seemed to be wanting to speak but stop.
Seeing Lu Xun's constipated face, Zhou Yu knew that he must have something to say. So he said to Lu Xun: "Boyan, just say anything bluntly."
Lu Xun looked at Zhou Yu and then said, "Grandmaster, the power of this Zhuge crossbow is very good. However, the arrows consumed are also better than our usual crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows in our stock cannot withstand such consumption."
What they said one after another is nothing wrong. Their original ordinary crossbow arrows could shoot out one arrow with three breaths, but now they can shoot out one arrow with one breath. The consumption of this crossbow arrow has been increased several times, and the consumption of this arrow has also increased several times.
You know, this water battle is not as good as that on land. The arrows can be recovered when fighting on land, but in this water battle, the arrows are shot into the water. The arrows of the water battle are consumables, and one less is shot.
Zhou Yu actually thought of the problem Lu Xun mentioned. But you can't say that you don't need powerful weapons because you are worried about the consumption of arrows.
"Continue to search for craftsmen and build them day and night."
