The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Being trapped and exhausted may be Sun Jianjun’s actual description.

Although Sun Jian occupied Xuzhou, his troops were too few.

Han Dang was stationed at Xiapi, Huang Gai was stationed at Tan County, and Cheng Pu was stationed at Kaiyang.

Sun Ce was also sent to Pengcheng.

Sun Jian was personally in charge of Xuzhou City.

Although young generals such as Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, Xu Sheng, etc. are all brave generals.

However, if you want to stand alone, you still need more training.

Although Xuzhou is not big, if you want to control Xuzhou, it is a bit reluctant to rely solely on Sun Jian's few civil servants and generals.

It's just that Sun Jian couldn't give up Xuzhou.

Otherwise, spending so much manpower, financial resources and time in Xuzhou would be in vain.

It's just that there are clan thieves and bandits in various places, and they even secretly collude with Yuan Shu.

They intercepted military rations and set fire to the camp.

Just like flies, if they cannot be eliminated at once, they will be an endless trouble.

Sun Jian's advisers, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others, also realized that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable.

If we continue to garrison Xuzhou, we will be in trouble sooner or later.

The first was Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Liu Biao sent Huang Zu to station troops in Jiangxia and train his navy, ready to cross the river and attack Jiangdong at any time.

There are only more than 10,000 troops and horses left in Jiangdong.

If Huang Zu really attacks, can he hold on?

Moreover, Yuan Shu is also training navy and wants to take revenge on Sun Jian.

Of course, the clan thieves and bandits in Xuzhou, as well as the neighboring Yuan Shu and Huang Zu, can still be guarded against.

The most troublesome thing is Zhou Cheng in the north.

Zhou Cheng has now occupied Qingzhou and can move south from Jizhou and Qingzhou at any time.

Although the Zhou army is currently standing still, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others all know that this is just preparation.

……

Science and technology are primary productive forces.

As long as R&D funds are sufficient, there will be powerful weapons and equipment.

Recently, Zhou Cheng's arsenal has developed a new type of military crossbow.

This military crossbow has a range of 600 steps and is modeled after the Qin crossbow.

Qin's single-person crossbow is divided into three types: the crotch and the arm.

The crossbow is used with the feet on the bow and the arms pulling the waist with the whole body, so the firing speed of the crossbow is much slower than that of the bow. But the arrows fired are extremely powerful. The flying speed is several times that of a bow.

When the crossbow is fired, the arrowhead pierces the air, and the string rebounds and rubs violently with the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

It is rumored that the Qin Nu's shooting range is seven to eight hundred steps.

Zhou Cheng didn't know if it was true or not, but being able to make a personal crossbow with a range of 600 steps was already a great weapon.

The military factory was still built on the outskirts of Zhenliao City in the form of earthen buildings. Its interior was highly classified as a military secret. Even Li Ru, Guo Jia and others could not approach it without Zhou Cheng's order.

At this time, Zhou Cheng picked up a crossbow and cocked it with one arm. call out!

Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound. The crossbow arrow flew out and penetrated the three layers of armor leaves a hundred steps away.

Zhou Cheng asked Tian Chou:"How many can this crossbow produce in a month?"

Tian Chou replied:"It can produce two hundred crossbows in a month."

Two hundred in a month, which is 2,400 in a year.

Zhou Cheng shook his head and said,"It's too slow."

Tian Chou said,"My lord, if you give up accuracy and reduce the range, you can increase production."

The range is related to the tension of the crossbow. In order to enhance the strength of the crossbow arm, the material must be More stringent.

Of course, requirements can be lowered and output increased.

Zhou Cheng said:"Building additional earth buildings and recruiting craftsmen will not be enough to train them.""

"Here."Tian Chou replied.

If the output is not enough, then expand production.

The Qin army's powerful crossbows are a big killer.

If there are ten thousand powerful crossbows and ten thousand arrows fired at once, they will definitely take the lead.

Then Zhou Cheng Checked the production of horseshoes, high bridge saddles, and double stirrups.

Although horseshoes, high bridge saddles, and double stirrups have been used in actual combat, they have always been the 'secret weapons' of heavy armored cavalry.

Zhou Cheng has never been popularized.

Not popularized, It doesn't mean it won't be used.

At present, Zhou Cheng's reserves are enough to equip the expeditionary force.

Zhou Cheng said:"Starting from this year, horseshoes, high bridge saddles, double stirrups, Zhou soldiers, dawn cavalry, death camps, Huben Camp, Dangkou Camp"

"Here."Tian Chou replied

……

Spring of 200 AD.

The ice and snow melt and everything revives.

However, the army and horses approaching the city were completely silent.

The Zhou army had been besieging Linjing City for several months and had no intention of retreating.

The wealthy families in the city were indeed persuaded by Yuan Shang to spend money, food, and slaves to join the army.

It's just that winter has passed and the Zhou army has not been able to retreat. Then the Zhou army will definitely launch an offensive after the winter rest.

When Zhao Yun launched a new round of siege, Taishi Ci received an order from the Zhou army to send troops.

Later, Taishi Ci led an army of 50,000 people and set out from Chencang to attack Hanzhong.

In this battle, Taishi Ci took Sima Yi and the Five Thousand Death Fighting Battalion as the vanguard.

Sima Yi also didn't expect Taishi Ci to trust him so much.

However, Sima Yi felt that this was a good opportunity to show off his talents.

After a winter of contact and running-in, Taishi Ci and the Five Thousand Death Fighting Battalion surrendered, and they also established trust and tacit understanding.
