Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

"Come on, let's wipe it off!"

Xu Ding was in the front, Huang Chengyan was in the back, Huang Yueying waited for Cai Yan to close the workshop door, and they all followed.

Cai Yan said: "Sister Yueying, you are really amazing. The improvement of the short crossbow is so great, and it will greatly improve the overall combat effectiveness of our Donglai Army."

The short crossbow of the big man is already well-made, and the shooting distance is very impressive. The development has entered a bottleneck period, and it is almost difficult to make a breakthrough.

The entire Han Dynasty fought against the Huns for 400 years, and the short crossbow played an indelible role in it, making the Huns frightened.

In particular, it became possible for the big Han to use infantry to restrain the Huns cavalry.

One of the most famous battles was when Li Ling, the son of the parachutist Li Guang, led 2000 infantrymen and [-] Xiongnu soldiers to fight in Junji Mountain. At that time, he used the power of bows and crossbows to fight against the Xiongnu army for more than [-] miles. million Huns.

Although he was defeated and captured in the end, it was still an invincible victory, which is remembered by the world.

Of course, what Cai Yan, Huang Yueying and others didn’t know was that not long after in the original history, another person named Qu Yi used a dead soldier holding a short crossbow to kill Gongsun Zan’s most elite white horse righteous follower, and achieved another classic .

So Cai Yan's praise is not half hypocritical.

It is really remarkable to be able to increase the existing short crossbow by twenty steps to forty steps.

The short crossbow relies on the advantage of shooting quickly to attack the enemy. If there is an improvement in the shooting distance, the overall military strength will be improved.

As Xu Ding's wife, Cai Yan was naturally happy.

Moreover, Huang Yueying gave Xu Ding a promise earlier, and she will be Xu Ding's wife in the future, that is, her own family, so naturally she is also happy for her.

After all, Huang Yueying is still a 13-year-old girl, so she was delighted to hear the praise, and replied:

"Sister Zhaoji is overrated. Compared to what you did for Big Brother Xu, I'm still far behind. At most, I'm just wasting my time and messing around."

Although Huang Yueying is also a talented woman from Jingzhou, she is far behind Cai Yan, and her talent is different from Cai Yan.

His interests and knowledge are all focused on ingenuity, which is fundamentally different from Cai Yan, a talented woman who is purely talented in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

So she is more simple, but also more humble.

"If this is nonsense, then my husband definitely hopes that you will make more nonsense and improve all kinds of ordnance." Cai Yan smiled slightly, then held Huang Yueying's hand, and patted lightly:

"I, Diaochan and Linglong don't know much about this, so I can't help my husband in military affairs. I heard that sister Yueying also likes to study military books. In the future, I will rely on you to share my husband's worries."

Cai Yan spoke solemnly, and Huang Yueying was a little touched. Anyway, Cai Yan is a regular wife, and being able to say such words to his ordinary wife who has never entered the family in this tone really made her feel warm and comfortable. Existing motivation and expectations.

Gently nodding, Huang Yueying said: "Sister Zhaoji, don't worry, Yueying will definitely help everyone share the worries of Big Brother Xu!"

"Also called Big Brother Xu!"

Cai Yan let out a rage, and Huang Yueying was taken aback for a moment, then her face turned red to her ears, then she lightly shook Cai Yan's hand and said, "Sister Zhaoji, you actually made fun of me, Yueying hasn't passed the door yet!"

"Hee hee, isn't it a matter of time? I will be slept by my husband at that time, why be ashamed." Cai Yan originally wanted to be serious, but when he thought of Xu Ding's jokes on weekdays, he was rarely serious.

"I...can't...no...no!" Huang Yueying couldn't cry or laugh at Cai Yan's joke.

"What are you two talking about? You are laughing and crying at the same time." Seeing that the two did not follow, Xu Ding turned around and asked.

Cai Yan and Huang Yueying looked at each other and said in unison:

"Don't tell you!"

Xu Ding felt that the second daughter must be talking about her, but if the second daughter didn't say anything, he shook his head helplessly, and then focused his energy on the short crossbow.

When he came to the academy's shooting range, Xu Ding had someone fetch the crossbow bolts, loaded them and started shooting.

The ten crossbow arrows were fired continuously and shot out at the fastest speed.

The ten crossbow arrows shot steadily at a place [-] steps further than usual.

Sure enough, he could shoot farther, Xu Ding was overjoyed, and went over to check, all ten crossbow arrows shot through the target.

"Okay! The penetrating power is strong enough. With such an artifact, my Donglai cavalry has a great guarantee." Xu Ding said excitedly.

This time he went to Youzhou to suppress the rebellion. Although he won, Xu Ding also discovered many shortcomings of the Donglai cavalry, and the Donglai cavalry still had many shortcomings.

For example, the training time is still not long enough. After all, the source of troops are people from the Qingzhou area, and they are far inferior to those from the border areas.

In terms of riding skills, it is not as good as Wuhuan, a nation on horseback who has been trained naturally since childhood.

So he concluded that if he hadn't taken advantage of the strength of the Wuhuan brigade to attack south, it would have been impossible for him to sweep all the Wuhuan tribes smoothly.

If it hadn't been for the surprise attack at night, and if Qiu Liju happened to be killed, and he faced the Wuhuan army head-on, he might not have been able to win.

What's more, in the north of the Han Dynasty, there are Xianbei, a real grassland enemy, and the Xiongnu, an old-fashioned enemy.

Therefore, Donglai's cavalry must be stronger in order to defeat all enemies in the future.

The current Donglai cavalry are just young eagles. Even if they have seen blood, they are still not a strong army.

So Xu must arm them.

The improved short crossbow is now a piece of protective armor for them, as well as a sharp counterattack weapon.

"In this way, Yueying's improved short crossbow is considered a success." Huang Chengyan stroked his beard and smiled.

Xu Ding nodded, his eyes showing approval:

"Very successful, sister Yueying is amazing."

After speaking, Xu Ding bowed solemnly to Huang Yueying.

Seeing that Xu Ding affirmed her achievements, Huang Yueying was also very happy in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Brother Xu, what are you doing?"

Xu Ding said: "Sister Yueying, this obeisance is my contribution to your improvement of the short crossbow on behalf of the soldiers of Donglai. You have increased the shooting distance of the short crossbow by [-] steps to [-] steps, which will save them a lot of casualties. And when you are fighting, take the slightest chance, and you deserve it."

"This……"

After all, Huang Yueying is only a 13-year-old girl, and she still accepts the thanks from her beloved one. She always feels a little uncomfortable and embarrassed, so she also bows to Xu Ding, a little flustered and said:

"Brother Xu, it should be me... I should be thanking you for giving me this opportunity. If it weren't for Brother Xu, you encouraged my father to improve farm tools more, and if you hadn't encouraged me to make these things by hand, I wouldn't be able to make the short crossbow."

In short, Huang Yueying's heart was always sweet, and the more she talked, the more chaotic she became.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, this is a husband and wife greeting." Huang Chengyan looked at this scene and smiled freely.
