My Three Kingdoms is a bit fierce

The fact that so many sophisticated weapons were equipped to the Minaseki side was to take into account the unexpected situations that might arise.

Even if there is an emergency, with so much sophisticated equipment and the courage of 50,000 Youzhou legions, it will not be easy for the eastern princes to capture Keiguan.

Chen Chu didn't explain much to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu didn't continue to ask on this issue.

After a pause, Chen Chu said to Lu Bu: "Then follow me to the back to have a look." There are also a lot of new and powerful weapons there. Most of those siege weapons will be equipped to the Luoyang Legion in Shangjun. The

three of them came out of the armory, and then walked deeper into the Martial Arts Academy. As soon as Chen Chu and the others left, the official in charge of the place immediately and carefully extinguished the oil lamp, then left and relocked the gate. Several officials did it carefully and without the slightest negligence.

This martial arts research institute is divided into five halls and covers an extremely wide area. The first is where craftsmen and technicians live, and the second is where new weapons and armor are made; The third is where all kinds of long-range weapons are made, such as steel crossbows, which are made here; The fourth is where all kinds of heavy weapons are made; The fifth entrance is the place where gunpowder is produced and gunpowder weapons are developed, and due to the particularity of gunpowder, the area here is much larger than the first four.

Lu Bu followed Chen Chu to visit all the time, and let out exclamations from time to time, just like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden.

The steel crossbow produced by the third factory is completely different from the strong crossbow in the general sense, it is made of steel throughout, and the power is not greater than the general strong crossbow, but its advantage is that the production cycle is short, not affected by the climate, etc., the last point is very important, such as the general bow and crossbow if it is damp or wet, the handling and power will be greatly affected, and the steel crossbow will not, which has an immeasurable effect on ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army.

However, this steel crossbow is not something that anyone can produce, although its process is simpler than that of ordinary strong crossbows, but who can have a large amount of steel for steel crossbow production like Chen Chu?

The large-scale siege weapons produced by the fourth entry are common, such as ladders to climb the city, etc., and there are also unseen and unheard of weapons, such as catapults, shock vehicles, and so on. The catapult was supposed to have been invented by Liu Ye ten years later, but now it has been plagiarized by Chen Chu and advanced. In fact, the catapult in the Northern Army is very different from the so-called thunderbolt invented by Liu Ye, the catapult of the Northern Army is relatively smaller, and the power is greater, the range is longer, the range can reach 500 meters, and it is equivalent to the catapult of the Song Dynasty.

In addition to catapults, there are also impact vehicles. Speaking of this impact car, the origin is even more mysterious, which was developed by Chen Chu according to the principle of armored vehicles in later generations. Of course, this shock car cannot be the same as an armored car, it just absorbs the design concept of an armored car.

The impact car is more than two meters high, there are three pairs of large wooden wheels, divided into two layers, the lower layer is one person high, set up twelve soldiers, divided into three rows to push three horizontal bars in the car, this is the power of the impact car; The upper floor is only half a person high, there is no ceiling, and the soldier stands on the upper floor, and the upper body sticks out of the car, and the soldier can stand on the car and shoot at the surrounding targets.

In addition, the front part of the impact vehicle is tapered and nailed with iron armor, so that the impact vehicle can rush into the enemy's military formation with the enemy's spear on top of it.

The purpose of the shock vehicle is to attack the enemy's military formation head-on.

Chen Chu was very satisfied with the design of the impact vehicle, he was full of expectations for the use of the impact vehicle on the battlefield, and he was eager to see the scene of the impact vehicle killing the enemy on the battlefield.

When the impact car was experimented, the effect was very good, and it can be said that it exceeded expectations. However, due to the productivity of this era, the production of shock cars is very limited, and so far there are only about 100 units.

When Chen Chu said to Lu Bu excitedly, "The impact vehicle will be fully equipped to the Shangjun Luoyang Legion", Lu Bu's expression was very strange. Although he listened to Chen Chu explain the purpose of the impact car, Lu Bu was deeply skeptical that the impact car could achieve the desired effect, and he would rather Chen Chu transfer a thousand cavalry to him.

Time flew by, and before I knew it, it was evening. But Lu Bu still didn't seem to have seen enough, everything here was really eye-opening for him. At this time, he finally understood why the Martial Arts Research Institute was so tightly guarded, and the things in it definitely had the value of being protected in this way.

The next day, Lü Bu left Bingzhou, and with Lü Bu left a long convoy. This convoy was transporting all kinds of ordnance that Lu Bu saw in the Martial Arts Research Institute yesterday.

Lu Bu's heart couldn't help but have a trace of longing, he longed to see the spectacular scene of his soldiers holding horizontal knives across the battlefield.

Shangjun is located to the west of Bingzhou, and is only a few hundred miles away from Guanzhong Beidi County. If the Northern Army wants to attack Guanzhong, Shangjun is undoubtedly the best base for advancement. On the other hand, if Dong Zhuojun wants to march into the state, he must first seize Shangjun, once he captures Shangjun, Dong Zhuojun will have a springboard to enter the state, and the entire territory of the state will be under the threat of Dong Zhuojun. In a word, Shangjun is very important to both the Northern Army and Dong Zhuojun.

Chen Chu's army in Shangjun totaled 50,000, which belonged to the Luoyang Legion, and the current commander of the army was Lu Bu, the deputy general was Zhang Ji, and the army was Chen Gong.

When the Northern Army attacked Luoyang, it captured 100,000 Dong Zhuojun soldiers. The Luoyang Legion was adapted from these surrendered soldiers. Zhang Ji, the deputy general stationed in Shangjun, was Dong Zhuojun's general.

Under Chen Chu's various measures, these former Dong Zhuojun soldiers have basically faded the color of the original Dong Zhuojun and become the real Northern Expeditionary Army. However, there are still a very small number of exceptions. Zhang Ji and more than 100 of his own soldiers have always had different intentions, they are unwilling to live a serious and boring life like the Northern Army, they yearn for the kind of burning, killing, looting and wanton days in Dong Zhuojun's life.

Zhang Ji has been trying to contact Dong Zhuo's side, but there has been no chance, until Dong Zhuo's envoy came to Bingzhou, and Zhang Ji finally connected with Dong Zhuo's side.

A conversation with Dong Zhuo's envoy made Zhang Ji inexplicably excited, and he felt that the day of his emergence was finally not far off.

From this day on, he was moving around in private, hoping that one day in the future, he would rebel and return to Dong Zhuo's arms.

Zhang Ji's activities went beyond imagination. In just ten days, Zhang Ji had already contacted more than 20,000 troops in the Luoyang Legion. At the same time, there was also good news that the Yandu Division, the largest Qiang tribe in the Hetao region, had reached an agreement with Dong Zhuo's side, and if necessary, they would send troops to assist Dong Zhuo's army in controlling Shangjun and Hexi County.

This Yandu tribe is the largest Qiang tribe in the Hetao area, with a population of nearly 100,000 and 40,000 warriors. Among the nomadic tribes that infested the border counties of the prefecture, this Yandu tribe was one of the most troubled forces.

However, under the continuous blows of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the past year, the situation of the Yandu Department has become more and more difficult, the population has plummeted to less than 50,000, and only 15,000 warriors remain, and a large area of fertile grassland in the east has been lost.

Although the Yandu tribe was hit hard by the Northern Army, he did not submit to the Northern Army like other nomadic tribes. The big leader of the Yandu tribe, Yandu, hated the Northern Army more and more, and he vowed to bite the Northern Army hard.

So when Dong Zhuo's envoy found him, he hit it off with Dong Zhuo.

Although Zhang Ji's activities went very smoothly, he hit a nail. He originally planned to pull Lu Bu over, but when the restaurant was tempted, Lu Bu's reaction greatly exceeded his expectations. Fortunately, at that time, Lu Bu was only dissatisfied with his words and deeds, and did not suspect anything else.

Zhang Ji was worried about being detected by Lu Bu, so his activities after that were much more restrained.

It was July 28th. On this day, Lu Bu left Shangjun, which was undoubtedly good news for Zhang Ji. After Lu Bu left, Zhang Ji's activities became more unscrupulous.

Although there is still Chen Gong in Shangjun, Zhang Ji didn't take this scholar seriously at all. In Zhang Ji's thoughts, Shangjun was already completely under his control.

On August 5, Zhang Ji, who had been waiting for a long time, finally received the latest instructions from Chang'an. Dong Zhuo asked him to find a way to take control of Shangjun as soon as possible, and told him that the army of the Yandu Division would arrive in Shangjun on August 6.

As soon as he received this instruction, Zhang Ji was inexplicably excited, and immediately took action.

On the morning of August 6, Zhang Ji suddenly led his army to surround the Taishou Mansion. Zhang Ji sent someone to inform Chen Gong, who was staying in Taishou Mansion, to ask him to surrender immediately.

Zhang Ji sat on the war horse, standing at the forefront of the team, and his expression was extremely proud. Around him were thousands of soldiers who followed him in rebellion. Among them, the main ones were Yang Kai, the commander of the first battalion, and his subordinates. Yang Kai can be said to be Zhang Ji's most trusted person, and when they were still Dong Zhuojun, Yang Kai was his cronie.

The reason why Zhang Ji only led Yang Kai's battalion to surround the Taishou Mansion was entirely out of trust in Yang Kai. At the same time, according to Zhang Ji's idea, it was completely enough to surround the Taishou Mansion, which had no protective force, with a battalion of troops.

A moment after the people sent by Zhang Ji entered the assassination mansion, Chen Gong walked out of the Taishou Mansion alone.

When Zhang Ji saw Chen Gong alone, he immediately laughed, and then said, "Chen Gong, you can't imagine that you will have today!" Zhang Ji's demeanor looked very proud.

However, Chen Gong smiled faintly and said, "Zhang Ji, since you returned to our lord, you have always had two hearts, do you really think that the lord can be bullied?" "

Oh?" Zhang Ji smiled sneeringly, and then said, "Since that's the case, then why did you fall into my hands?" Why would Chen Chu allow someone like me to exist?

Chen Gong said with a mocking smile: "Haven't you heard the phrase luring the snake out of the hole?" If you don't jump out, the Lord will not have a real basis to cure your sin, and there will be no chance to catch you!

Zhang Ji sneered, "Chen Gong, you can only take advantage of your tongue now!" Come on, take down Chen Gong for me!

That's when something strange happened. None of the sergeants around Zhang Ji moved.

Zhang Ji couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Yang Kai on the side, and rebuked with displeasure: "Yang Kai, what the hell are you doing!" I'll let you take down Chen Gong! "
