There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Liu Biao was busy in his water village, and the pottery merchants were not idle. During this time, his navy has been building a new type of water warfare equipment on the warships.

Lu Lingqi had never seen a water battle before, especially when his father Lu Bu and Sun Ce came to attack Jiangxia County the year before last, but they were unsuccessful, and the loss was due to the disadvantage of the water battle.

So she was really curious about the way of water warfare.

"What is this? It's so spectacular. Is it a trebuchet?" Lu Lingqi stared at the Jinling Navy with her mouth gaping, and nailed a huge set of equipment to the deck.

The potter said with a smile: "According to the report from the school affairs office, Liu Biao's navy is currently building large-scale trebuchets and installing these giant machines on their main warships."

Lu Lingqi suddenly said: "So, are you following the example of Liu Biao and others in building trebuchets and installing them on your own warships? To avoid losing the battle?"

The pottery merchant shook his head and said: "No, although the weapons are placed in the same way, the weapons Tao made are not the same as his. My thing is called a racket."

"A racket?" Lu Lingqi has a lot of research on martial arts, but she doesn't know much about weapons. In her opinion, a trebuchet and a racket are basically the same thing.

The potter explained to her: "Liu Biao equipped the ship with a trebuchet, and the boulders thrown have great destructive power against warships. It is indeed a sharp weapon in water warfare, but the trebuchet is used in water warfare. , there are also many shortcomings. In land battles, trebuchets are mainly used to attack and defend cities. During siege, the target of trebuchets is the stationary city wall, but in water battles, warships are flexible, and Above the big river, there is endless, relatively speaking, the target is small, and it is difficult for the trebuchet to hit, so the power cannot be exerted."

Lu Lingqi looked at the potter's eyes with a different kind of appreciation.

"You know a lot, so is your racket better than a trebuchet?"

The potter nodded and said: "Although the shape of this racket stick is similar to a trebuchet, a long wooden stick is set up on both sides or at the head and tail of a warship. One end of the wooden stick is tied with a big stone, and the other end is There are several ropes. When using it, pull the rope so that the end tied with the boulder is raised high, then the warship approaches the enemy ship, and then loosen the rope. The boulder hits the enemy ship hard under the action of gravity, which can completely destroy the wooden The hull of a warship. The racket can be said to be a trebuchet used for long-distance combat converted into a melee weapon."

Chapter 642 Exchange Conditions

To a certain extent, the rackets made by potters can be regarded as the benchmark of ancient water warfare weapons.

In history, the racket stick appeared probably in the Middle Ages, in other words, it appeared in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. This large-scale water warfare tool is a kind of kinetic energy obtained when heavy objects fall from a high place to smash the warships close to one's own side. For enemy ships, before firearms were popularized on warships, the racket was the most powerful weapon on the warship.

Liu Biao wanted to defeat himself with long-range weapons, but the pottery merchant gave him a countermeasure.

I'll use melee weapons to destroy your navy.

Seeing Lu Lingqi's adoring eyes, Tao Shang felt indescribably comfortable all over.

Adored by a tall, long-legged, big-breasted girl who looks like a model

How to put it, it is also an unparalleled enjoyment.

"It's so strange." Lu Lingqi looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Not only do you have a lot of crazy ideas, but you also know how to invent. Logically speaking, this kind of thing is really not what a nobleman like you should do, but you are doing the opposite. Do it the way you want."

The potter said with a chuckle, "It's called silt but not stained, and clear ripples without demons. Among the gentry, there are also good young men who are hardworking, hardworking and brave. Haven't you seen them?"

After asking this question, the pottery merchant felt a little regretful. Judging by Lu Lingqi's expression, she must have never seen it before.

"Well, why don't you teach me these skills of yours?" Lu Lingqi hesitated for a while, then suddenly said: "I worship you as my teacher."

"You ask me to be your teacher?" The pottery merchant laughed when he heard the words: "What do you ask me to be your teacher for? Besides, what's the use of learning these things?"

Lu Lingqi bit her lip and said: "At least after learning these skills from you, my father will no longer look down on me, lest he always say that it is useless to have a daughter."

Seeing Lu Lingqi's sad and resentful expression, Tao Shang felt that he had a little sympathy for her.

Lu Bu, who was born in Jiuyuan, has been with the Huns all year round, and is naturally warlike and martial. In his eyes, this only daughter is indeed of little use.

No wonder this girl clamored for a one-on-one contest with others every day, probably because she was forced by her living environment since she was a child.

The pottery merchant thought for a while, and said: "It's okay to teach you some skills, but my teacher is the famous general Huangfu Yizhen. If he knows anything about him, he will know that I have accepted such an idiot as you."

Lu Lingqi stomped her feet angrily, and saw that a stone under her feet was crushed directly.

The potter's eyes suddenly rounded.

This girl not only has long legs, but also has strong feet!

Logically speaking, shouldn't her actions just now cause sprains?

"My master knows that I have accepted such a genius like you, so he must be happy to ask Meng to have a drink with me." Tao Shang changed the subject and finished speaking slowly.

It is true that Lu Lingqi doesn't have much wisdom in her mind. When she heard this, she immediately smiled: "Really?"

The potter looked down at the gravel under her feet, and said, "Actually, your weapons are not very good, but the kung fu under your feet is quite powerful. You are a good seed for Sanda."

Lu Lingqi didn't know what Sanda was, she just showed a happy smile: "Then you promised me, didn't you?"

The potter frowned and thought for a while: "It's still not possible to waste time educating you, I have no benefit at all."

Lu Lingqi hurriedly said: "I have a way, let's exchange with each other, I think you are smart, you know the art of war, you are resourceful and decisive, and you are also handsome."

The potter couldn't help but nodded vigorously.

Don't tell me, this girl's intelligence is not high, but her vision is really good.

"But you only have short legs in martial arts. You teach me the way of marching and forming an army, and I teach you the way of fighting the enemy. In exchange, what do you think?"

The potter was delighted when he heard the words: "I have Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, A Fei, Huang Zhong, five top masters. What else do I need from you?"

Lu Lingqi shook her head, and said seriously: "Your background is too weak, the skills of the six arts, I think you must have not worked hard when you were young, now that you have grown up, you are far behind those real fierce generals, their methods you I can't get used to it, although I am good at martial arts, but I am a woman, and you and I happen to have mutual strengths and weaknesses, so it makes sense for me to teach you."

What is the length of each other?Why does this sound like you want to practice double cultivation?

Tao Shang thought about it for a while, and speaking from his heart, it was really not good for his predecessor to delay this body. Although he was diligent in exercising every day, it was the way to maintain a long life, but he did not put martial arts training on the schedule.

But now, as the situation in the world becomes more and more clear, the potters also know that they have been pushed to the forefront.

Although there are guards around him at all times, Tao Shang thinks that he still needs some self-defense skills. After all, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. You are not afraid of anything, just in case.

However, Lu Lingqi taught herself martial arts

"What skills do you know, can you teach me?" The potter asked Lu Lingqi.

Lu Lingqi was very confident: "Whatever skills you want to learn, I will naturally be able to teach you any skills."

"Can you subdue the dragon with eighteen palms?"

Lu Lingqi was stunned: "No."

"Where is the palm of the Tathagata?"

"will not."

"Where is the Palm of Despondency?"

"nor will"

The potter rolled his eyes: "I don't know this palm, and I don't know that palm, so what can you teach me?"

While hesitating, he saw a shout coming from the nearby grass.
