Chapter 1503: Formation of the Crossbow Army

The third thing is the ballista that Lu Bu yearns for the most. Different from the bed crossbow, this kind of ballista is more convenient to move and requires three people to control it at the same time.

When the guards around saw that this kind of crossbow had shot dozens of large crossbow bolts and countless small crossbow bolts at one time, they were not only dumbfounded, but if this kind of thing was put on the battlefield, it would suddenly come up for such a blow, which would be harmful to the enemy's attack. For generals, it is definitely a lingering nightmare. No matter how high the martial arts are, they have to dodge when facing this kind of equipment. Judging from the firing force of the crossbow just now, it is extremely powerful, and the victory lies in surprise.

Who would have thought that there were so many crossbow arrows hidden in these things.

Lu Bu was very satisfied with the three items brought in, but he was a little regretful that the ballista was not developed. If the ballista was developed, it would have a greater effect.

"The messenger workshop will do its best to build 15,000 crossbows, and 500 crossbows with three people." Lu Bu ordered.

"Here." Dian Wei clasped his fists and said, he is naturally in charge of delivering orders, but thinking of the power of this kind of crossbow, Dian Wei is yearning for it, if the guards can have such a hand What a powerful crossbow would be. As for the strong crossbow controlled by three people, it is not suitable for personal guards. After all, the personal guards are more often used to protect Lu Bu's side.

Hearing Lu Bu's order, Guo Jia and Pang Tong's eyes lit up. It would be such a powerful skill to build a large number of crossbows at once. If these crossbowmen appear on the future battlefield, they will definitely cause a bloodbath.

"Chen Dao was ordered to hand over the affairs of the general to Pang De, and then he led the crossbowmen back to Chang'an, and Pang De guarded Youzhou." Lu Bu said.

Youzhou has Chen Tianzai, and there is no foreign disturbance on the grassland. Sending Chen Dao back will be more useful. Chen Dao trained crossbowmen before, and he has made great achievements on the battlefield. If Chen Dao is in charge of training the crossbowmen, it will definitely have a good effect.

The crossbowmen are the main force of the Chang'an army on the future battlefield. The main goal of this army is to kill the enemy continuously through crossbow arrows. They will wear excellent armor. Once the crossbowmen appear on the battlefield, they will surely They cannot move easily, and the strong crossbowmen rely on crossbow arrows to kill the enemy. Even thinking about the scene of thousands of people shooting crossbow arrows in their hands, it is scary.

Guo Jia and Pang Tong immediately understood Lu Bu's intentions. They clearly wanted to train the crossbow army. However, these crossbows are indeed powerful. There must be no such crossbows in the armies of the princes. An army of tens of thousands of crossbows is deployed on the battlefield. After the formation, what kind of damage will be caused to the enemy, especially the kind of crossbow with a range of 150 steps, the destructive power on the battlefield is unimaginable.

Even the enemy's cavalry would not dare to charge easily, especially this kind of crossbow that can reach a range of 115 steps, its penetration power can be imagined, even if it is heavy The cavalry did not dare to take huge risks to charge the Argentine Army. This is the suppression brought about by absolute strength.

After leaving the barracks, these things were kept in the treasury. These weapons are the secrets of the army. If the enemy learns about them without using them, it will be a great loss to the army. Lu Bu believes that the princes It is certain that the United States and Europe have stopped investigating Chang'an, especially the money situation of the Chang'an army, which is probably the most important thing for the princes to do carefully. The most powerful thing under Lu Bu's command is the strength of the army, which is also the most deterrent to the princes.

"My lord, the training of the crossbowmen should start as soon as possible. If the training is carried out after General Chen Dao arrives, it will affect the future combat effectiveness." Guo Jia said.

Lu Bu nodded. It will take a long time from Chen to lead the crossbowmen to Chang'an, and then to the craftsman workshop to create these crossbows. At this time, the soldiers in the army can train some basic skills. s things.

"From Fengxiao's point of view, who can become Chen Dao's deputy general?" Lu Bu said.

Guo Jia said: "I'm afraid General Chen Dao has already made a decision, so it's not easy for my subordinates to say more."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Having said that, he still decided to respect Chen Dao's opinion. A lieutenant general plays an extremely important role in a large army.

"Order Zhao Yun to select 8,000 elite soldiers from the army to train them in the use of crossbows," Lu Bu ordered.

There are 3,000 crossbowmen under Chen Dao's command. If you choose 8,000 soldiers, some of them will be eliminated. It is this elimination system that makes the soldiers in the army work harder during training. A common method used by generals.

But all soldiers in the army will not easily admit that they are weaker than others. The same is training in the army, and even the salary they get is the same. Naturally, they will not admit defeat. Being able to stay, they will work harder in training.

Although there are some differences in the use of ordinary crossbows and strong crossbows, the differences are not big. Before Chen's arrival, these soldiers can become more familiar with each other.

Pang Tong was secretly surprised. He had never seen Chen Dao, but from Lu Bu's words, he could feel the importance he attached to Chen Dao. This is probably the most powerful general besides the chief generals of the various ministries, with tens of thousands of powerful crossbow troops in his hands. , among the generals under Lu Bu's command, he is definitely an extremely powerful existence.

After leaving the barracks, Lu Bu felt particularly refreshed.

"Feng Xiao, Shi Yuan, if you build a powerful crossbow that can be fired ten times in a row under the control of soldiers, what will happen on the battlefield?" Lu Bu asked suddenly.

Even with the experience of two people, they have never seen such a strong crossbow. How terrifying it would be to fire ten times in a row. There are ten strong crossbows, one can imagine what kind of waves will be caused on the battlefield once this kind of thing appears.

Especially when setting up an ambush or when the army is retreating, a sudden attack will definitely stop the enemy from moving forward.

"If these sharp weapons can be equipped among the officers and men of the army, our army will definitely be stronger." Pang Tong's tone was also a little excited. Get victory and have greater confidence.

"My lord, this item is extremely important. Be careful of the secret work of the princes. Although the Jiangdong Army, Cao Jun, and Jingzhou Army are fighting endlessly, they have not stopped investigating the news of Chang'an. If the secret work of these princes learns about the powerful , It is extremely unfavorable to our army.” The online service of the real lady, help you find books to chat with you, please wechat/message/search/search hot web articles or rdww444 to wait for you~
