Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Chen Yang also has a special room for him in the factory, which not only has a bed, but also bookshelves and other things, everything is available.

After inspecting the soldiers again, Chen Yang felt that it was time to arrange training for them, so he went back to the room, picked up a paper and pen to write and draw.

Before crossing, Chen Yang liked to study history, and he had studied Yue Fei's battle formation of the Yue Family Army.

Because of the lack of war horses in the Southern Song Dynasty, most of the Yue family's army were infantry, but they were able to beat the Jin soldiers to flee, which shows how powerful their battle formation is.

In addition to the training of modern special forces, the group of soldiers outside must also have various battle formations, so that they can fight on the battlefield.

Improving their physical fitness while training in the battle formation of the cold weapon era is Chen Yang's current thinking.

According to his own memory, Chen Yang probably wrote and drew the battle formation on paper.

"There are only cold weapons. If there are no firearms, I always feel that something is missing."

Chen Yang was biting the brush, he was thinking about getting some pistols and other things out?

Soon, this idea was overturned by him again, because he didn't understand the principle of firearms at all. Is there anything he could create that could replace the power of firearms, or could he have it in this age?

"Yes!" Chen Yang suddenly patted his forehead, and he drew a crossbow-shaped thing on a piece of paper.

Just now, Chen Yang suddenly remembered the steel crossbow that appeared in the late Middle Ages in Europe.

This kind of thing has an effective range of up to 300 meters, and its power is terrifying. It can easily shoot through the armor of knights, the body of war horses, and even walls, and its accuracy is very high, so it is not easy to miss.

If that kind of steel crossbow can be made, it will definitely be a super killer weapon. Although Nu has been produced in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, its power is far inferior to that of the steel crossbow. At present, archers in the army still use the hand-drawn bow .

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is a scene where Lu Bu shoots the halberd at the gate. The distance is 150 steps, and if converted into a unit of length, it is about 160 meters to 180 meters.

Only a brave player like Lu Bu can hit the target with a 160-meter shot, and even Lu Bu had a gambling element in it.Ordinary soldiers don't even have to think about it, but this kind of steel crossbow can be used even by ordinary soldiers, and it can even surpass Lu Bu.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang became excited. If he created such a big killer, wouldn't he be able to sweep the entire Three Kingdoms?

"By the way, there is also Zhuge Liannu!"

Chen Yang wrote and drew on the paper again, and drew a rough shape after a while.

In modern society, many people have restored the Zhuge Liannu, and Chen Yang has seen many examples, so it shouldn't be difficult to create it.

"The blacksmiths here can only make some knives and axes used in daily life. The imperial court still controls the making of weapons such as bows and crossbows very strictly. If I want to make these bows and crossbows like mine, I still can't do without the help of Lao Cao."

Chen Yang thought to himself, put away the sketches he had just scribbled on, and would discuss it with Lao Cao again when he had a chance.

"It's time for them to go to training." Chen Yang said again.

He was about to go out when there was a knock on the door.

"Shopkeeper Chen, it's my old Cao!" Cao Cao's voice just came in from outside.

What happened yesterday, Cao Cao had to ignore it. He still needed Chen Yang to help him make plans to conquer the world, so he came to care about it.

"Old Cao is here, please come in!" Chen Yang said and immediately went to open the door.

It was a coincidence that Chen Yangneng had this military camp and factory, and it was all given to him by Lao Cao. He just wanted to talk to Lao Cao about bows and crossbows, and he took the initiative to deliver them to his door. What a coincidence.

After Cao Cao entered the door, he sat next to Chen Yang's desk, and first said: "Master Chen, I know what happened yesterday. I didn't think carefully. I didn't expect that brat Xia Houmao to be so rude."

"But don't worry, things like this won't happen again, but Ning'er..."

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Chen Yang interrupted, saying: "Old Cao, there is really no need to mention this matter again. Isn't our relationship like this very good?"

Cao Cao had to give up the idea of ​​marriage and smiled helplessly.

At this moment, Cao Cao's eyes fell on the blueprint of the battle formation on the table, and he looked more curiously.

Cao Cao was also a famous military strategist in ancient times. He only needed to glance at it to recognize that it was a blueprint of a battle formation.

"Shopkeeper Chen, do you know how to train troops?" Cao Cao said in surprise, sighing in his heart that he is indeed an all-round wizard who knows everything.

However, Cao Cao found that he couldn't understand the layout of this battle formation, nor could he see its power. He was muttering in his heart, after all, shopkeeper Chen's military strength was still a bit weak, and the battle formation was also drawn indiscriminately.

"It will be a little bit, but my battle formation is absolutely unique and unrivaled." Chen Yang said confidently.

Cao Cao couldn't help but chuckled when he heard this.

He has studied many battle formations, including many people under his command who are masters in this way. Maybe Chen Yang's paintings are too simple. Cao Cao still can't understand the use of this battle formation, so he feels that Chen Yang's words are a bit exaggerated the meaning of.

"Is it really that powerful?" Cao Cao said with a smile, not to embarrass Chen Yang.

"Of course, my battle formation is very powerful. It only takes 3000 people to form this battle formation, which can fight against 1 people, and can increase the overall strength of infantry by more than three times." Chen Yang nodded and said solemnly .

"what?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened in shock, and soon he shook his head again: "This is impossible!"

Battle formations can indeed improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers, but with 3000 men against 1, there is such a huge disparity in numbers that no matter what the battle formation is, it will undoubtedly be defeated.

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Cao Cao kept shaking his head, thinking that shopkeeper Chen's military strength was indeed a bit weak.

"Old Cao, don't you believe it?" Chen Yang asked.

"Shopkeeper Chen, it's hard for me to believe that the quantity gap you said is too big. Even if 1 people die, 3000 people can be wiped out."

Cao Cao continued: "Your battle formation is very chaotic and has no lethality. Even Sun Bin would not dare to say that a battle formation can increase the combat effectiveness of infantry by more than three times. Shopkeeper Chen, you don't understand military affairs, I can understand."

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao shook his head again.

"Old Cao, how about we make a bet?"

Chen Yang said.

"What are you gambling?"

"Just bet on whether my team of 3000 people can beat 1 people, how about it?"

"I want to gamble too, but I don't have time now. In less than half a month, I have to set out with the prime minister to attack Yuan Shu."

Cao Cao was politely refusing. Although he didn't believe in Chen Yang's battle formation, he respected Chen Yang from the bottom of his heart.

After all, no one is perfect. Shopkeeper Chen is already so powerful. It is understandable that his military strength is a little bit worse. Other aspects are enough to prove his strength.

"It won't take half a month, just give me ten days. After I let all the soldiers get familiar with the layout of the formation, they will be able to fight."

Chen Yang said quickly: "Old Cao, are you interested in taking a gamble? It will definitely shock you."

"It really only takes ten days? It's impossible, isn't it?"

Cao Cao wanted to refuse at first, but he hesitated for a while, wondering if shopkeeper Chen would surprise him again?

What's more, Chen Yang was so straightforward, he couldn't think of refusing.
