The opening of the Three Kingdoms is Gatling

They were pushing four chariots.

These chariots look strange, as a whole, it seems that there are four wheels under a box.

Right in front of the box was a thick crossbow arrow shining with a cold light.

"What is this?"

Zhou Cang couldn't help asking curiously.

"This is a heavy artillery crossbow developed by our Ordnance Department."

Huang Yueying explained.

At this moment, the four debugged artillery crossbows were aimed at the other side of the river.

"put!"

Ding Shuai gave an order.

A series of sharp piercing sounds came from "嗖嗖嗖", four thick arrows flew across the Yellow River, and shot fiercely into the stone body on the opposite bank.

When everyone saw this, their eyes couldn't help flashing with surprise.

They did not expect the power of the cannonball to be so powerful that it could directly sink into the stone body.

If a salvo is fired at the gate of the upper city, wouldn't it be destroyed directly?

After being surprised, everyone realized that there was a rope tied to the tail of the shot crossbow.

Ding Shuai stepped forward, tugged at the rope, and nodded in satisfaction when he found that it was not moving.

"Come on, cross the river!"

Hua Xiong ordered.

Several sergeants took off their armor and stood up.

They were selected in advance, and all of them are good at climbing.

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, Xu Huang and other generals looked at each other.

They could see the confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

Could it be that my lord intends to use this method to let the soldiers cross the river?

But this approach is too stupid.

Not to mention whether the soldiers are all good at climbing, it takes a lot of work for a [-] army alone.

Not to mention there is food and supplies.

But before everyone could express their doubts, Ding Shuai's craftsmen took out a few thick iron chains and handed them to the sergeants on the ropes.

The sergeants fixed the iron chain around their waists with a rope, and then began to climb towards the opposite side along the rope.

Below them was the surging water of the Yellow River, and several soldiers just moved on the rope without hesitation.

Everyone on the shore couldn't help but sweat for them.

Fortunately, several sergeants crawled over without any risk.

When they reached the opposite bank, they immediately took out the tools on their bodies and firmly fixed a few iron chains on the opposite bank.

Ding Shuai and other craftsmen on the river bank also nailed the iron chain to the mountain.

The rest of the soldiers were not idle either, and took out the materials and tools they had prepared in advance.

They walked to the edge of the cliff and began to lay the iron plate on the face step by step, and then fixed it with parts.

After several iron chains were covered with iron plates, a chain bridge was successfully built.

And all of this took less than two hours.

Looking at such a chain bridge, everyone opened their mouths in surprise.

In the past, when people wanted to build bridges, they mostly used natural stones, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

There are also suspension bridges made of thick ropes.

But the safety factor is extremely low, and it can only pass people, and it is impossible to pass the carriage.

But right now, Hua Xiong used a few iron chains to build such a bridge in a short period of time, how could it not surprise everyone?

Zhang Liao came back to his senses and said excitedly,

"With such a bridge, it takes less than a day's work, and 10 people, including luggage, can cross the river smoothly!"

"That boy Fengji, never dreamed that we could cross the river like this!"

Gao Shun also looked excited.

"The lord is really a god!" Guo Jia said with emotion, "I really don't know how the lord came up with such a way."

Hua Xiong just smiled slightly.

Such a method is actually very common in later generations.

I think that when the Luding Bridge was captured by flying, those warriors paved the road with wooden boards on the chain bridge.

The main reason why there are no chain bridges in this world is the shortage of iron materials.

The princes from all over the world are not enough to build weapons and armor for their troops, so how can they build bridges with iron cables?

On the other hand, the quality of the iron materials they made was not good enough to meet the requirements of the chain bridge.

Only Hua Xiong has a new method of steelmaking and ironmaking, can he be so rich and powerful, and build a chain bridge.

"Feng Xiao, how many ships have you built now?"

Hua Xiong asked.

Guo Jia thought for a while and replied,

"Reporting to my lord, the current boats are probably enough for 2 people to cross the river."

"That's enough."

Hua Xiong looked at Ding Shuai and Huang Yueying at the side,

"How long will it take for the bridge to be completed?"

"Reporting to the lord, it will take at most half an hour to strengthen.

At that time, both horses and trains will be able to pass. "

Huang Yueying said in a pretty voice.

Hua Xiong nodded and said in a deep voice,

"Where are Gan Ning and Wei Yan?"

"The end is here!"

The two said in unison.

"The two of you immediately ordered 3 horses to serve as the vanguard of our army and stand by after crossing the Yellow River."

"Yes, my lord!"

Gan Ning and Wei Yan immediately got up and rushed towards the barracks.

"Where are Zhang Liao and Gao Shun?"

"The end is here."

The two generals also stood up.

"The two of you ordered 2 troops to prepare on the south bank.

Tomorrow, as long as there is a war on the north bank, you will cross the river and attack immediately! "

"Here!"

"Go down and get ready."

Hua Xiong nodded.

……

That night.

In the barracks on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Feng Ji suddenly woke up from his sleep, only feeling panic in his heart.

Chapter 294 Unbelievable

He picked up the water glass next to the bed and drank water in big gulps.

Then take a deep breath.

But still a little uneasy.

Feng Ji thought for a moment, finally put on his clothes and went outside Mayan and Zhang Wei's tent.

"General Ma, General Zhang!"

He barked several times.

Ma Yan and Zhang Wei responded impatiently,

"Who is it!"

"it's me!"

The two generals recognized Feng Ji's voice, and after a while they opened the curtain of the tent and walked out.

"Master Military Advisor, it's so late, what else do you want?"

Ma Yan yawned, his tone a little impatient.

Zhang Wei also yawned again and again.

"For some reason, I always have an ominous premonition in my heart.

The two of you should take people along and patrol around the Yellow River. "

Fengji ordered.

The two looked at each other, both dumbfounded.

"Master, you are worrying too much."

"Yeah, the two of us just finished patrolling our defense line this evening, and there is no problem at all."

"It's so late, you'd better go back to sleep."

Ma Yan and Zhang Wei spoke exactly the same.

Feng Ji frowned, and said in a deep voice,

"You are only patrolling our defense line, I will let you patrol along the Yellow River!"

The two froze for a moment, with anger appearing on their faces.

Being woken up in sleep, going to patrol the Yellow River at such a late hour, everyone would be angry.

However, Fengji was sent by Yuan Shang to supervise the defense line of the Yellow River.

Although the two were angry, they could only respond helplessly.

"Yes, military division!"

The two of them, full of anger, ordered a thousand cavalry each.

After leaving the gate of the barracks, the two parted ways by the Yellow River, one headed west and the other headed east, roaring away.

Zhang Wei patrolled the west side, and nothing happened along the way except for the sound of the river lapping on the bank.

He has been several miles away, but there is no vision.

"General, do we still have to patrol?"

Zhang Wei's lieutenant general asked.

With the help of the bright moonlight, Zhang Wei glanced at the dark jungle not far away.
