Vol 3 Chapter 2384: -Zhuge Liannu?

Ji thief smiled with a rather wretched expression.
Without much effort, Tushan led Usma back.
When I came here, Usma couldn't stop yelling, saying that she still had things to do, what was the reason for calling herself over in a hurry.
The thief chuckled happily, went forward and grabbed Usma's shoulders, raised an eyebrow, and smiled: "Usma, come and discuss something with you."
Usma was determined this time and waved his hand directly: "Your Majesty, as long as it's not about gambling and work, you can say anything else."
Ji Thief was speechless: "Do I have anything else besides these two things?"
"Ah, I thought you were going to invite me to dinner."
"Did I have this with you."
"Then can I go now?"
"What do you mean?"
Usma drooped her eyes and sighed: "Oh, you know it's like this. Then, your Majesty, tell me, what is the reason for calling me this time."
Ji Thief laughed softly: "Actually, it's nothing big, you just make some molds."
"Mould? What is that?"
Ji thief beckoned to Xiang, who was also very good at coming, came over and handed the jute paper with mace in both hands.
Ji Zei pointed his chin at the jute paper: "Come on, look at this."
Usma took it and looked at it carefully in his hand. Finally, he hissed and looked up at the thief and said, "Your Majesty, is this?"
"Mace, look at this stick, look at this sharp, can it be average? Think about it, how to make this stuff mold."
Usma looked at the thief weakly: "Is it just a mold?"
The thief was expressionless: "What do you think."
"Huh? How much is that?"
Xiang was a little embarrassed, and a finger stretched out from his side.
"One hundred?" Usma asked.
The thief snorted and Usma howled miserably: "Don't be a thousand, not your majesty, I have other jobs."
"Add money to you."
"Then you have to add money first, you never gave it every time you said before."
"Look, didn't I give it to you that time in the college."
"Uh, forget it. Just treat it as not."
It's also no match for Usma, Ji Pirate smiled blankly: "Yes, I will write you a note first. Now you are always relieved?"
Usma chuckled sillyly: "Your Majesty, if you want to say that, then we can come to discuss how to do it."
"Don't worry, I have other things to tell you."
Usman wondered: "What's the matter?"
Xiang asked curiously, "Your Majesty, is it the vine armor thing?"
Usma was taken aback: "I also want to do this? Isn't the vine armor production handed over to Xiang's Forging Department!"
The thief looked at Usma who was bargaining with him: "Did I tell you to do it? I mean another thing. The crossbow and the catapult."
Usma said, "Then, your Majesty."
"That's the case. Can you improve the crossbow and catapult a little bit, don't you think the range of the crossbow and catapult is a little too small?"
Usma's puzzled expression: "Isn't it improved? The bed crossbow has now reached a range of 1,800 steps, and the catapult has a range of 1,200. This is still after replacing the iron parts. I want to improve it. Unless it is dismantled and re-made into a big one, the lever of the trebuchet can be increased in such a way that the crossbow and crossbow arms can be increased. But this way, it takes a lot of effort to carry it, and it is difficult to move after it is fixed."
The thief groaned: "Forget it, the weight is just right now, Usma, can you change the attack methods of the catapult and the bed crossbow?"
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
The thief thought for a while: "For example, if the bed crossbow fires repeatedly, the catapult will increase its destructive power."
"Your Majesty, you are joking. How could the bed crossbow fire in a row? The trebuchet is now powerful enough."
"No, I mean, didn't all the stones thrown by our trebuchets before, this time we change one and throw the earthen jar."
"Your Majesty, don't you care about money?"
"Listen to me, is it done?"
"Uh, then you say."
After a pause, the thief said: "In the earthen jar, put turpentine beast oil and other things that are easy to catch fire, and then put a linen cloth on the mouth of the earthen jar. When it is cast, the linen cloth is lit, and it is thrown out and falls on the ground. That's a small sea of ​​fire, falling on people, tusk, just think, isn't that deterrence more frightening than slinging stones?"
"That's okay, but if your Majesty comes here, although the destructive power and deterrent power are there, when facing the hard guys like the wall and mountain, the destructive power of the cupping trebuchet is not as good as that of the stone, and the cost is also high, you, Really willing?"
"Hey, let's strengthen our strength. Besides, what did the trebuchet do? Isn't it to suppress the enemy? Besides, one stone fell and killed two or three people. If you were out of luck, none of them could hit. But this cupping trebuchet is different. It is a puddle of fire when it falls on the ground. Who dares to run forward?"
"Well, it's okay, anyway, as long as your majesty doesn't feel bad, there will be no problem with me."
The thief said: "It's okay, anyway, you will be deducted from your salary anyway."
Usma's eyes came out: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about!"
Ji Thief sighed: "No, I mean, let's talk about the bed crossbow first."
Usma kept yelling, making the thief ignore it. When it comes to the bed crossbow, Usma quickly threw away the issue of salary, and then squeezed his chin: "Your Majesty, the bed crossbow you mentioned Burst, I think it’s a joke. The crossbow arm is much harder than a normal crossbow. It usually rotates by a noose. You know how slow it is. It takes a long time to pull the crossbow arm up. If it is repeated, it is basically impossible."
Although Usma's words are not good, they are basically seeking truth from facts. Just like what he said, the crossbow is indeed a joke to make bursts.
For bed crossbows that require a winch, the average rate of fire per shot is about five to ten minutes.
Although the volley of bed crossbows looks very shocking, you will have five to ten minutes for you to attack if you escape the roar of the bed crossbow this time. In the battle of Banquan County, the early stage of the column was the one that leaned on the bed crossbow. The shortcomings, the chance of hard-topping the crossbow's firing range, surrounded Aliang in Sun County.
Of course, after Aliang realized this problem in the later stage, he shot the crossbow separately. Although the pressure was reduced, it was a very wise choice to ensure that there was no gap in the shooting.
The thief singled out this issue and discussed it with Usma after careful consideration. If this issue can be solved, then the tribe's long-range strike capability will be improved.
But having said that, the concept of bursts proposed by the thief is still a bit too amazing, so that Usma closed his eyes and thought for a long time but couldn't think of a solution.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to, but that this burst of hair you said is really impossible. Or, let's try another method?"
The thief thought for a while: "Then we can only write articles from the top of the suppression force. At present, only relying on the suppression of the trebuchet is somewhat insufficient. In any case, the trebuchet only takes care of the rear, and the crossbow pushes the flow flatly. The mainstay in suppressing the enemy."
Usma nodded: "So is it possible to change the bed crossbow to one that fires three crossbow arrows or five crossbow arrows at a time? This way, it can be considered to solve the problem of suppressing power."
Hearing this, Ji Thief was stunned, and said that this could be done.
If you remember correctly, Zhuge Wuhou in the later three kingdoms of the Han Dynasty made a Zhuge Liannu with ten shots. Ji Han led Jiang Wei, and even relying on Zhuge Liannu to trap Sima Zhao on the Iron Cage Mountain.
Needless to say, the suppressing power of ten rounds of a crossbow, anyone who knows understands.
Immediately, the thief slapped Usma's shoulder with joy and laughed: "Usma, you really are a contractor, you can think of it. Okay, let's transform the crossbow with one crossbow and ten hairs!"
Usma was also taken aback: "One crossbow and ten shots, your Majesty, are there too many?"
Ji Thief waved his hand: "No more, no more, take it slowly, take it slow."
When saying this, Ji Thief took a deep breath and said Zhuge Liannu, I Ji Thief is here!
