Chapter 313
From the day he took over the Air Force, Zhao Yun knew what he would face in the future.
When Lu Bu mentioned that the Air Force was destined to be surrounded by the enemy, Zhao Yun smiled calmly: "When I entered Wancheng with the Hou of Chu, I knew what responsibilities the Air Force would assume. Since I had received the military order to command them, I would lead the Air Force soldiers and become a sharp blade for the Hou of Chu to conquer all directions in the future."
"I feel relieved with Zilong here." He patted Zhao Yun's shoulder lightly, and Lu Bu said, "I won't delay you from training the soldiers, let's go first."
"I'll send Chu Hou." Zhao Yun kept sending Lu Bu and Pang Tong outside the military camp and watched the two leave.
After leaving the military camp, Pang Tong was with Lu Bu.
He asked Lu Bu: "Marty Chu, is the Air Force really making no achievements in the coming war?"
"It's impossible to say they have no achievements." Lu Bu said: "It's just not as important as we expected."
"Since the Chu Hou knew that they could not make too much achievements, why did they still need to build an Air Force camp?" Pang Tong said in confusion: "There is a lot of money invested in building this camp."
"Investing money is nothing more than practicing the Air Force before the two families have yet to attack Xuzhou." Lu Bu said: "We have no chance of winning at all when the two families jointly attack Xuzhou. If we don't build this military camp, when will the Air Force be trained? Although I don't expect them to make any achievements this time and fight back in the future, I hope that the Air Force soldiers will make achievements for me."
"Does the Chu Hou plan to send his family to Jiangdong first?" Pang Tong suddenly asked.
"Do you think you should send them away now?" Lu Bu asked him in surprise.
"Don't the Chu Hou think so?" Pang Tong said: "Only if the family is not in Xuzhou, the Chu Hou will be fully engaged in dealing with the enemy and not be in crisis again for the sake of his wife."
Lu Bu nodded: "Shi Yuan is right, I will send my family to Jiangdong as soon as possible."
He then said to Pang Tong: "Not only my family, but also your family, all must be sent to Jiangdong as soon as possible. Only when the family is properly placed can we fight the enemy with a firm battle."
Pang Tong agreed: "I will arrange the other people's families now. It may not be easy to deal with if it is the Jiangdong people."
"Why is it difficult to get them back to Jiangdong?" Lu Bu asked in surprise.
"They just came from Jiangdong and had to turn back again, how could they be willing?" Pang Tong replied: "But the first move of Chu Hou to move them to Xuzhou was also a necessary measure. After all, at that time, it was not clear what Sun Bofu and others thought."
"Just go and do the specific matters, Shi Yuan." Lu Bu ordered: "Let me find a reliable general to accompany him and escort him, and don't make any mistakes."
"Whose general Chu thinks is the most reliable?" Pang Tong asked.
"What do you think of Lu Su?" Lu Bu mentioned Lu Su.
"Lu Zijing is kind and asked him to escort his family, so he would be safe." Pang Tong did not raise any objection.
"Since Shi Yuan has no objection, you can go and talk to him first and bring him to see me later." Lu Bu ordered.
After walking forward for a while, Pang Tong took his leave and arranged for what Lu Bu told him.
Back at his residence, Lu Bu went directly to the study.
There is also a powerful crossbow on the table in the study.
Unlike other powerful crossbows, there is a rectangular wooden box where this powerful crossbow is fitted with a bowstring.
There were ten crossbow arrows stuck in the box.
It is the continuous shooting crossbow that Lu Bu has been thinking about recently.
Before coming to this era, Lu Bu had some simple understanding of the development of crossbow arrows.
He knew that there was a kind of crossbow arrow called Zhuge Crossbow that could fire arrows one after another.
However, in the information he had read, he did not highly respect Zhuge Nobu.
First of all, in order to achieve the goal of being able to fire continuously, Zhuge Crossbow sacrificed the strength of the powerful crossbow, and its effective lethality was more than half less than ordinary crossbow arrows.
Secondly, in order to load more crossbow arrows, Zhuge crossbow is more than twice as big as ordinary crossbows, and launching requires two people to cooperate. Although it can be launched continuously, it consumes more manpower, which is not much better than ordinary crossbows.
It is precisely because it does not have many advantages on the battlefield that it was eliminated shortly after it was put into use, and even a complete sample was left behind.
After just reading the documents about Zhuge Crossbow, Lu Bu thought of creating a powerful crossbow that can be fired continuously.
Moreover, this kind of powerful crossbow must overcome all the disadvantages of Zhuge crossbow. Not only can one person operate it, but its strength must not be much smaller than that of ordinary powerful crossbows.
From the moment he started to think about it, it has been more than ten days since now.
At first, I thought it was simple, but when I really made it, Lu Bu realized that there were still many problems he had to overcome.
The first thing he had to solve was that after a powerful crossbow was launched, the second one could immediately get stuck in the launch slot.
The launch slot on the crossbow has to be launched immediately after pulling the engine spring.
If one is fired, the engine spring must be pulled again, which will lose the meaning of continuous shooting of crossbows.
Walking to the table, Lu Bu picked up the half-made continuous shooting crossbow.
The wooden box stuck on the powerful crossbow solves the problem that if one arrow is fired, the other will fall on the powerful crossbow.
But Lu Bu never thought of any method to use to launch the second arrow as long as he pulls the spring.
He had thought of all the ways to add bowstrings and other methods.
However, every time I think it well, I am not as I imagined.
No matter what method he used, he could not fire the arrows one after another.
Every time an arrow is fired, the spring must be pulled again.
Including the loading time, there is no difference between it and the crossbow without a wooden arrow box.
On the contrary, with wooden arrow boxes, if the crossbow is not particularly skilled when loading, its speed will be reduced a lot.
Sitting at the table, Lu Bu tossed and turned at the continuous shooting crossbow that he thought would be easy to create, and his brows were tightly frowned.
Just as he was thinking about what method to use to create a powerful crossbow that could be shot continuously, the door was gently pushed open, and Diao Chan walked in lightly.
Following Diao Chan, there was a maid holding a tray.
On the tray in the maid's hand was placed a small bowl.
When he came to Lu Bu, Diao Chan said, "Husband worked hard all day long. I just ordered the kitchen to make a bowl of soup and asked me to drink it while it was hot."
The maid placed the bowl of soup on the table.
Lu Bu looked up at Diao Chan: "I feel ashamed of being so virtuous as a wife."
