From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Strong crossbow
The soldiers on the city wall of Zhao County kept patrolling, and the catapults used for defending and attacking the city were placed in rows. This was the front line bordering Julu.

No trace of war can be seen, but the breath of war is exuding all the time.

As early as when Zhao Tai and his party were less than one kilometer away from Zhao County, Gao Ai was already waiting at the entrance to the city.

He is wearing a basketball armor, and his body is much stronger. He sits on a tall war horse, and he has the charm of a fierce general in the world. As for how high his combat power is, it is hard to say.

When Zhao Tai's figure appeared in sight, Gao Ai jumped off the horse to greet him respectfully.

When the war horse gallops, the horse's hooves kick up a side of dust. In the eyes of Gao Ai and others, it is like the wind blowing sand and dust approaching them, if they ignore the dozens of riders in front.

"Gao Ai, the guard of Zhao County, respectfully welcomes the lord into the city."

"Welcome the prefect to enter the city."

After Gao Ai’s voice sounded at the entrance to the city, it was like a snowfall falling from the cliff first. At first, it was just the generals who accompanied him to greet him, and then the soldiers standing in two rows shouted in unison, until the whole city shouted loudly. echo.

The continuous sound went straight into the sky and spread to all directions.

This is like an announcement that Zhao Tai is coming.

Zhao Tai did not respond. He controlled the horse to slow down and led the guards behind him forward at a constant speed. This was the best response.

He had never been to Zhao County, but this did not affect him going straight to the county government office, because there were soldiers standing from the gate of the city to the streets in the city, and they were like a human wall to show him the way.

The attack and killing encountered in Zhending City has become an exception, and it is impossible for the same thing to happen again in Zhao County or in other cities.

This kind of ostentation is not only to welcome Zhao Tai, but also to open the way for the army to prevent possible things from happening.

Zhao Tai didn't dismount until he reached the gate of the county government office. He threw the reins in his hands and stepped in first.

"My lord, the county government has prepared food and wine for you to take care of your lord."

A group of subordinates accompanied him, and Gao Ai spoke out at the right time.

The wind and dust he said was really the wind and the dust. When Zhao Tai entered the county office, there were soldiers standing on both sides carrying basins and towels. Zhao Tai took a look at the person who had no hatred before washing his face.

After running all the way, not only was my body covered in ash, but my face and hair were also covered in ash.

"Yi Kang is interested."

After throwing down the already gray towel, Zhao Tai felt a little chills in his heart, because it was really dirty.

Facing Zhao Tai's praise, Gao Ai just smiled and did not take any credit.

"My lord built a hospital, and even specially asked people to carry out health promotion. These are just what the subordinates should do."

But I muttered in my heart, if I don't do this well, I'm afraid I will be scolded.

"Then eat first, by the way, Yikang, this is a military adviser Xizhong, this is..."

Zhao Tai introduced everyone Gao Ai didn't know. Although it was not a formal occasion, everyone still greeted each other and said some polite words.

After seeing the ceremony, Gao Ai quietly took a few glances at Xi Zhicai. He still knew about this military adviser, and it was he who tried his best to promote this military operation.

For this kind of main fighters, there are still capable main fighters, people like Gao Ai who think about rebelling against the imperial court all day long, he is very pleasing to the eye when watching dramas.

After drinking for three rounds and eating five flavors, Zhao Tai didn't even think about taking a break, and went straight to the point of the current war.

"General Gao, let me tell you about the current situation in Julu, Zhaojun and its surrounding areas."

"Here."

On this question, as soon as Zhao Tai asked Gao Ai, he became serious, and he immediately entered the state. After all, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

He stood up and waved, and the soldiers carried a long table into the hall, and on it was a sand table, with mountains, rivers, and city passes all on it.

"My lord, in fact, the form is not complicated. Julu, Commander Zhao not only sent heavy troops to guard the front cities, but also set up checkpoints along the main roads to resist the enemy. The strength of their troops is increasing every day, and there are places with the least troops. Five thousand soldiers and horses."

"Besides the troops, the most troublesome thing is the crossbowmen. The subordinates have checked and found that they are all strong crossbows. Even if we have catapults to drop explosives, the range is far from the range of crossbow arrows. This is very important to us. Fang is very disadvantageous."

The catapult is very strong. Before the artillery comes out, as long as the catapult is formed in a large scale, the effect of washing the ground with shells is similar.

Throwing stones with a catapult can not only collapse the city, but also destroy buildings. The lethality is first-class.

However, throwing stones also has its limitations, that is, the range. The creation of the catapult at its peak should be fired several times, and its longest attack distance is close to 400 meters.

But the strength should not be underestimated, and its size should not be underestimated. To take the simplest data, the base of the return gun is ten meters long, and the stone dropped can weigh 150 kilograms, which is enough to show its huge size.

This thing is strong, but it is not so applicable to Zhao Tai. The main reason is that it is too big and heavy, and losing it far away will become a huge trouble.

The large catapults of the Han Dynasty had a range of about 210 meters, and the small ones had a range of about 130 meters.

Zhao Tai has improved the catapult, and the range of the small catapult can reach 160 meters. This is already a big improvement. After all, as long as anything does not deviate from its principle, every improvement is very difficult.

160 meters is not bad, plus explosives are enough to invincible.

But if the crossbow is still a strong crossbow, the minimum strong crossbow mentioned by Gao Ai must be a three-stone crossbow, or even higher.

The range of the three-stone crossbow in the Han Dynasty is close to 190 meters, the six-stone crossbow is more than 270 meters, and the ten-stone crossbow is about 400 meters. There is also a rhubarb ginseng crossbow on it, which is stronger than the ten-stone crossbow.

It is impossible for the enemy not to understand the range of Zhao Tai's catapult and the destructive power of explosives. The mass formation of crossbowmen is definitely to defend against catapults and explosives.

"You mean to say that they formed a large number of crossbowmen?"

"That's right, and my subordinates also saw traces of rhubarb crossbows and catapults on the city wall. They are planning to stick to it."

If the rhubarb crossbow is the strongest individual combat weapon, it needs the strongest soldiers to use it, and the number of times can never be more than three times. Parachutist Li Guang once used the rhubarb crossbow, and it requires at least three hundred catties of strength to use it .

As for the cannon, it has been out of the scope of single-person use. It requires a winch to stretch the string. So with explosives, you can be invincible, but treat cold weapons as rubbish?That was something Zhao Tai had never thought about.

There is a saying that goes well, within range is the truth.

Whether it is Zhao Tai's explosives, crossbow arrows or even ballistas, they all correspond to this sentence.

You can say that the ancients were technologically backward, but you cannot say that they were stupid.

Like now, they might not dare to fight Zhao Tai. After all, if they were fighting outside, Zhao Tai's powerful communication ability could play them like monkeys until they died.

But if it is a desperate defense, these crossbows are their best means.

What's more, Zhao Tai also offended the world's famous family, so the war potential was directly at full capacity.

Explosives are strong, but it's useless if they can't hit people. On the contrary, as long as Zhao Tai's army enters the range, or throws artillery within the range, he will immediately experience the strength of cold weapons.

Zhao Tai didn't treat others as fools, and now the entire periphery of Changshan County is blocked like this is the best interpretation.

"One of the biggest disadvantages of crossbows or ballistae is their slow shooting speed. If you take advantage of the gap after the crossbow arrows are fired, it should not be difficult to blow open the city gate."

As early as when Gongsun Zan led his troops to attack him, Zhao Tai knew the limitations of crossbows. Strength comes at a price. In an era that relied solely on manpower, such a powerful crossbow could only be fired several times, even if it was used with both hands and feet.

No matter how strong the crossbowman is, he will always be tired, and the machine will break down after a long time, let alone a human being.

But when Zhao Tai finished speaking, Xi Zhicai took over before Gao Ai answered.

"My lord, crossbowmen are not as good as archers. It takes at least three months for archers to be trained into qualified archers, while crossbowmen can be trained in just three days. If we exchange positions with the enemy, even if the crossbow costs It is higher, and maintenance is relatively more complicated. Zhong will also form a large number of crossbowmen and manufacture crossbow arrows in large quantities, not to mention there is no shortage of money, food, and manpower, so the cost and maintenance become issues that can be ignored."

Xi Zhicai said so much, but he only emphasized one point, people are not afraid of being tired, if they are tired, they can just change people.

As for the cost?Is that a problem for the family?What can be solved with money is not a problem.

It seems that Zhao Tai has not heard this kind of local tyrant's statement for a long time.

Shortcoming?Just use money to block it.

For Zhao Tai, this blockade has the same attributes as a hedgehog. It's okay if you don't recruit him, but if you provoke him, he will kill you.

Zhao Tai hates local tyrants a little bit, even though he is a well-deserved local tyrant, but compared with the whole world, he is almost like a person who is struggling for food and clothing.

"After talking about so many advantages of the enemy, you don't even mention how to break the situation. General Gao, military advisor, one of you has been on the front line for so many days, and the other is fighting hard. You should know how to do it, anyway. If you can’t get out, you won’t be able to take Julu and Zhaojun within two months, oh yes, and Zhangshuinan Great Wall outside HD, you both have to dig coal for me.”

It is impossible for Zhao Tai to think about the strategy to break the game and how to fight. If you have the ambition to stand here, Zhao Tai can't believe that he hasn't thought about these things.

Indeed, it was as if Xi Zhicai and Gao Ai had agreed upon it, not to mention how to fight, but to focus on what advantages the enemy had and how difficult it would be to deal with them.

Didn't they just want Zhao Tai to know the difficulty of this battle, and then they said the solution to make Zhao Tai applaud and praise.

If it was really that difficult, would they not even frown?This doesn't look like being helpless.

"My lord, don't worry. General Gao has observed the enemy army for a long time, so it is better to listen to General Gao's opinion first."

"I don't dare to talk about my opinion, but the last general does have the simplest and most brutal method. It depends on whether the lord agrees to this matter."

Gao Ai would not suffer from stage fright at this time, not to mention that he was not here for so long just to earn a living.

While talking, he looked at Zhao Tai.

It was just the look in Zhao Tai's eyes that made him uncomfortable.

It's full of enthusiasm and excitement.
