Rebirth God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 4538: Ballista

"This is the crossbow cart in the Jin army?" Zuo Xianwang asked in surprise.

In Chang'an City, he has a certain understanding of the situation of the Jin army, and the ballista is a sharp weapon among the Jin army.

Guo Jia nodded with a smile: "The crossbow cart is a sharp weapon crafted by the craftsmen of the Jin Kingdom. No matter what army it is, if it confronts the crossbow cart head-on, it will definitely fail."

From Guo Jia's words, Zuo Xianwang and Kang Juguo felt strong confidence.

"I wonder if Shangshu can order someone to demonstrate how to use these sharp weapons?" Kang Juguo asked.

This is what King Zuo Xian of the Xiongnu wanted to know. They knew too little about the Jin army. In the past, they said they were cooperating, but in fact it was not much different from fighting each other. Anyway, the Jin army did not compete with the Xiongnu and Kangju on the battlefield. The military has had joint operations.

This also caused the Xiongnu and Kangju to have no more understanding of the equipment in the Jin army, but in terms of attacking the city, they knew that the Jin army was terrible. Chigu City was definitely a strong city, but the Jin army However, they directly attacked Chigu City with strong means, causing Wusun's army to suffer a disastrous defeat.

When attacking the city of Dawan, it was also with the help of the Jin army that Wusun's army could advance triumphantly in Dawan.

Guo Jia pondered for a while, then turned his gaze to Huang Zhong, "I don't know what Old General Huang means?"

"The matter of the ballista must have been known to more people. It doesn't matter if we let them see the power of the ballista." Huang Zhong said.

After receiving Huang Zhong's order, three soldiers controlled a ballista and began to perform.

The crossbow riders are also extremely cautious during normal training, because the crossbow bolts are also relatively expensive, and the crossbow bolts of the continuous ballista are much thicker than the crossbow bolts in the hands of the sergeants of the army.

If it is the general training of crossbowmen and archers, it will consume a lot of supplies in the army.

The ballista is about 150 steps away from a wall.

Seeing such a distance, Kang Ju Guoxiang and Zuo Xianwang showed serious expressions. In their cognition, if they can shoot a bow and arrow beyond a hundred steps, they can already be called masters. In addition, such a device that can hit the target is too terrifying.

The Xiongnu and Kangju are not the princes of the Han Dynasty. Even if they want to develop their military power, they must have corresponding conditions.

And the period when the princes of the Han Dynasty were fighting was also a time when the strength of the army was rapidly improved. Under the stimulation of Lu Bu, the princes did their best to develop their military strength.

Without sufficient strength, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of the ruler, and they may become vassals of other princes. Such a situation is not what a prince wants to see.

The Jin army is brave and good at fighting, not only because the soldiers in the army fight fiercely, but also has a lot to do with the equipment of the army.

After vigorous development, the strength of the Jin army has been improved to a greater extent, at least when facing the Xiongnu and Kangju armies, it has absolute initiative.

The ballista released the first crossbow arrow, and after the first crossbow arrow was shot, the second one. The third one, ten crossbow arrows in a row, went towards the wall.

Among them, five crossbow arrows pierced directly into the wall, and the other five crossbow arrows fell to the ground perhaps because of the wrong angle.

However, after the crossbow arrow collided with the wall, it was hard to hide the shock on the expressions of Kang Ju Guoxiang and Zuo Xianwang.

If they could have such a sharp weapon in their army, not to mention Wusun, they would have confidence even in the battle against the Guishuang Empire's army.

On the Wusun battlefield back then, the Jin army had this kind of sharp weapon. They had only heard of it at the time, but now that they saw it with their own eyes, the feeling of shock is even stronger.

After walking out of the barracks, the faces of Prime Minister Kang Juguo and King Zuo Xian were no longer as relaxed as before, and even had a lot of heaviness. They have seen powerful methods in the Jin army. If they face the Jin army in the future, what will they have? Such consequences, they can expect.

The strength of the Jin army, the Prime Minister of Kang Ju and the Zuoxian King of the Huns,

They have already got a preliminary understanding, but they believe that this is definitely not the most powerful method of the Jin army, because the method of the Jin army directly breaking through the city gate has not been shown.

However, the fierceness of the ballista still deeply attracted the Xiongnu Zuo Xianwang.

Although Guo Jia didn't introduce what kind of use the ballista has when fighting against the enemy, what he can see is how terrible the consequences of such a weapon appearing on the battlefield will be, even if the cavalry charges head-on If you encounter a ballista, you will also run away.

If ten arrows are fired continuously, if there are hundreds of ballistas on the battlefield, there will be a thousand arrows attacking. Facing such an attack, who would dare to contact them head-on.

The strength of the Jin army, in this demonstration, gave the envoys of the Huns and Kangju a preliminary understanding.

"Guo Shangshu, the ballista is really powerful, I wonder if the Xiongnu can buy some." After Kang Juguo left, King Zuoxian did not leave.

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "The ballista in the army is a top-secret sharp weapon. If it weren't for King Zuoxian's face today, I am afraid that General Huang would not let the soldiers show the power of the ballista."

"As for buying the ballista from the hands of the Holy Majesty, it is too difficult. The Xiongnu and Jin are allied, but the alliance relationship between the two parties is not stable. If such a request is made, there will be disagreements between the court and China. Few officials objected." Guo Jia said.

King Zuo Xian hurriedly said: "Shang Shu, the Xiongnu and Jin are very good friends, how can we say that our alliance is not strong enough?"

"Jia Zhongshu is in charge of receiving the envoys from the Huns and Kangju. If Zuo Xianwang has any doubts, you can ask Jia Zhongshu." Guo Jia whispered.

King Zuo Xian nodded knowingly. From Guo Jia's words, he could feel that Jia Xu's status in the court of Jin State was higher than that of Guo Jia.

This also made Zuo Xianwang firm in his intention to make friends with Jia Xu, but it is also necessary to have a good relationship with Guo Jia. In Chang'an City, Guo Jia gave him a lot of help.

Although Guo Jia also obtained a lot of benefits from him, these things are taken for granted in the eyes of King Zuo Xian.

As for using this matter to blackmail Guo Jia, it is definitely not a wise move, because Guo Jia has a high status in Jin, and Guo Jia and the current emperor of Jin are sworn brothers. Let alone, it is very difficult to influence Guo Jia more through this matter.

What is most likely to bring is Guo Jia's anger. In the future, it will be more difficult for the Xiongnu to cooperate with Jin.
