The hand crossbow is not heavy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gu Qiqi Niang even felt that the hand crossbow was a little light.

This is for children.

For a moment, Gu Qiqiniang thought it was just a toy.

But thinking of her brother and everything she had encountered in the past, Gu Qiqiniang suddenly understood, I'm afraid this is not a toy. No one would waste materials to make this kind of toy for people like themselves, and there are only three of them at a time, and they are even equipped with so many crossbow arrows.

The only possibility is that the situation at the border is not very good, which has led to the status quo of all the people being soldiers.

Thinking that it takes a lot of processes to make the beef tendon needed to make crossbow arrows, Gu Qiqiniang became more and more sure of one thing: that is, at the border pass, it is very common to go to the battlefield with a child of her age. It doesn't matter if you usually lie in the house, if you continue to lie in the house at this juncture, you will only be looked down upon.

His brother is like that to himself, if he is looked down upon by others again, then, wait for his own ......

Gu Qiqi Niang was stunned.

Yu Ye thought that Gu Qiqi Niang didn't dare to speak because she didn't know how to use it, so she hurriedly came over and said to Gu Qiqi Niang: "Girl, this kind of hand crossbow is very useful, as long as the crosshair is aimed, and then gently flick the wrench." ”

Jin Ban'er also said: "Girl, the range of this kind of crossbow is only fifty steps, not even half of an ordinary bow and arrow." Twenty steps or less is counted, but if it exceeds twenty steps, it must be lifted upwards, otherwise it will only hit the underside of the target. ”

Little Lotus was very surprised: "Sister has used it?" ”

Jin Ban'er said: "My brother had one when he was young. ”

Jin Ban'er didn't say anything else, but Lily and Narcissus both understood, Jin Ban'er's brother had, and when his brother grew up, the hand crossbow would also be in the hands of Jin Ban'er's younger brother and cousins, and it would definitely not fall into the hands of Jin Ban'er, a girl.

There's no way, who made Jinban'er a girl?

Who made the tendon of the hand crossbow not easy to obtain?

Gu Qiqiniang took a deep breath, held the handle of the crossbow with both hands, tilted her head slightly, aimed with one eye, and flicked.

I only heard a "bang", and there were already more crossbow arrows in the center of the pillar thirteen paces away. It wasn't until she saw the crossbow arrow that Gu Qiqiniang felt the weight of her hand. It's like, it's as if Gu Qiqi Niang was standing in front of the wall, putting her hands on the wall, and then, the wall suddenly pushed Gu Qi Qi Niang.

Seeing the crossbow arrow hitting the pillar, Yuye clapped his hands happily.

"Girl, try these two again."

Gu Qiqi Niang followed her words and changed to a crossbow.

Three crossbows, three arrows. The second arrow is one finger below the first, while the third is exactly two fingers below the second.

Seeing Gu Qiqi Niang's achievements, Yuye and Jin Ban'er were even happier.

Jin Ban'er also said: "Girl, the tendon of this crossbow is very useless, within twenty sticks, more than twenty-five, he will be soft, and his strength is not as extreme as when he first started, thirty sticks." So, once the thirty bolts were used up, the girl did not have to use him. Of course, he must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy. Remember? ”

Gu Qiqi Niang nodded again and again.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lily hurriedly and secretly pulled the sleeves of Yuye and Jinban'er, and said, "Do you really plan to let the girl go to the battlefield?" ”

Yuye and Jinpetal looked at Lily inexplicably, and said, "Who didn't come over here like this?" It's us, when we were as old as girls, we also followed our mothers, sisters-in-law, and sisters to help under the city walls, how could we sit in the house? ”

"But this is ...... accurate"

What Lily is most afraid of is the quasi-head.

He was afraid that Gu Qiqi Niang would shoot his own person. After all, the most feared thing on the battlefield is the cold arrow in the back.

Yuye said: "Girl's quasi-head, didn't you see it just now?" ”

Jin Ban'er said: "Not really. There are sharpshooters who are trained and some who are born. The Seventh Master made a good bow in one hand. Although the girl is young, I am afraid that she also has some talent. Besides, if it doesn't work, we don't have to shoot. If you are afraid, put crossbows on the side for the girl. ”

Hand crossbow is the same as a serious crossbow, the quasi-head is leveraged, as long as the cow tendon is strong, the rate of fire is also excellent, only the speed of the crossbow arrow is really slow, if there is no help from others, if it is facing the enemy, it is already good to be able to shoot an arrow at a time.

Because the enemy won't give you time to load your bolts.

At this time, there was also a commotion outside.

Yuye immediately decided: "It's coming!" Let's go, take the girl to the roof! ”

Lily screamed: "Yuye! ”

Narcissus pulled Lily over, stared into Lily's eyes and said, "What are you howling!" Decency is not given by others, we earn it ourselves! ”

Lily trembled, lowered her head, and was speechless.

Yu Ye picked up Gu Qiqi Niang on her back, Jin Ban'er and Narcissus put the crossbow and quiver back in the basket and carried them well, and Yang Liuye and Little Lotus had already rushed out first.

There was already a long ladder in the courtyard on the eaves, and the little lotus and the willow leaf were supported, so that the golden petal took the lead to climb up, and the jade leaf carrying Gu Qiqi Niang was the second.

Lily thought about it, and finally went over, helping Little Lotus and Yang Liuye to stabilize the ladder.

Xiao An's mother and son live in the West Cross Courtyard. The West Cross Courtyard is actually not big, even smaller than the courtyard where their family lived when Gu Ning was there, but it is still divided into five entrances in terms of function, the first one is Gu Yu's residence, because Gu Yu only has Cuiyun and Cuilian around him, so there are obviously only three rooms, but it is very empty; The second entrance is the conference hall, where Fu Da and others explained the situation to Xiao An's mother and son before; The third entrance is Xiao An's residence, and the left and right wings are the places where the luggage is placed, plus Mama Li's words, Gu Jin is also placed here; The fourth entry is the residence of Gu Qiqiniang, Gu Qierniang, and Gu Qiliuniang, of which Gu Qiqiniang lives in the main house, and Gu Qierniang and Gu Qiliuniang live in the east and west wings respectively. The fifth entrance at the back is the kitchen and the washing place.

Naturally, the servants and their subordinates lived in the servants' podiums on the left, right, and back.

As long as there are two ladders, Gu Qiqi Niang can climb from the roof, then follow the ladder to the roof of the servant's podium, and then follow the roof to the city wall.

The servant podium surrounding the west and north sides of the Gu family's house was originally part of the city wall of Shanyin County.

Gu Qiqi Niang's eyes were sharp, and after climbing on the roof, she actually let him see the firewood knife in the kitchen behind, and Lily had to climb down again and go to the kitchen to get the firewood knife.

Narcissus and Little Lotus found out that Yuye and Jinpetal didn't know when they had two more shields in their hands. It is said that it is a shield, but it is not made of wood, but made of thin bamboo branches, and then covered with a layer of rabbit skin, and the rabbit skin is also smeared with mud, which makes these two shields look dirty and very unreliable.

However, there was no time for them to ask.

I saw a loud commotion coming from the western and northern walls, and the soldiers of San'in County waving their shields to resist the rain of arrows from below. Those shields, some of them were made of wood, and some of them were similar to those held in the hands of Jade Leaf and Golden Petal.

Jin Ban'er said hatefully: "If it weren't for the lack of enough arrows, we must pay tribute to them!" ”

As a guest girl, Jin Ban'er knows very well how many people will be injured by stray arrows in every battle in Shanyin County. Those barbarians, whether they are Di people, Ta people, Qiang people, they are always reluctant to draw their bows when they are hunting, only at this time, they will draw their bows.

Because in the eyes of these people, the Han people are nothing more than two-legged sheep.

As a guest girl, Jin Ban'er hopes more than anyone else that there will be enough arrows in Sanyin County.

But the fact is that whether it is Yuye or Jinhuaer, they can only hold up their shields and speak behind them.
