The repeating crossbow ( Chinese: 連弩 pinyin: Lián Nŭ), also known as the Zhuge crossbow ( Chinese: 諸葛弩 pinyin: Zhūgě nǔ, also romanized Chu-ko-nu) due to its association with the Three Kingdoms-era strategist Zhuge Liang (181–234 AD), is a crossbow invented during the Warring States period in China that combined the bow spanning, bolt placing, and shooting actions into one motion.
