Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Nine-Star Repeater

The repeater was introduced more than 200 years before the Three Kingdoms, but it was not used in war, so it was not famous.

In the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang reformed it, so that it could fire ten arrows at a time, and the firepower was very strong, so it became famous, called Zhuge Repeater, or Yuanrong crossbow.

However, the size and weight are too large for individual soldiers to use, and they are mostly used to defend cities and camps.

The repeater built by Li Yu and Feng Yansheng was a small repeater that was improved on the basis of borrowing from Qin's crossbow.

The receiver above the crossbow arrow is made of copper, with a small cover, which can hold nine arrows, about three inches long, made of iron.

The lower body bore is divided into three tracks, which can be fired in a single burst, or three tracks can be fired at the same time, and the push-pull arm after the bore is changed to a side bolt, and the crossbow arm and crossbow string all retain the style of the Qin crossbow.

Looking at the sharp weapon emitting cold light inside the iron box, Li Yu suppressed his agitated mood and asked, "Lord Feng, how powerful is the crossbow?" ”

After a short rest, Feng Yansheng's face was slowly ruddy, and he said: "Because of the pursuit of compactness and easy carrying, the crossbow arm is shortened, but a detachable arrow rail is added to make the crossbow arrow more accurate," Speaking of this, Feng Yansheng was already excited, and gestured with both hands: "Two hundred steps can penetrate the armor, three hundred steps are second, and four hundred steps cannot cause damage." ”

Such a portable small repeater has reached the range of a medium-sized Qin crossbow, and its power is even better, and the most important thing is to abandon the embarrassing situation of needing to wind the crossbow arm with both feet after the Qin crossbow is single-shot.

After listening to Feng Yansheng's eloquent description, Li Yu's breathing became a little heavier as his expression flowed, and it was even better than expected.

The difference between penetration and piercing is only one word, but the killing is very different, Li Yu's eyes flashed, revealing a row of big white teeth and said with a smile: "Lord Feng is not only dedicated, but also has a lot of skilled craftsmen, Ben Hou is very pleased." ”

Feng Yansheng was praised by Li Yu, and his old face was full of smiles, and he shirked it again and again.

Although Feng Yansheng is reliable, Li Yu is also itchy and unbearable, since he has now fallen to Great Qin, it is too much not to experience cold weapons.

Twenty iron boxes, twenty sets of repeaters, each iron box is equipped with sixty arrows and one quiver.

Under Feng Yansheng's signal, Li Yu quickly mastered the technique, put in a three-inch iron arrow, pulled the bolt and pulled it back, which was considered to be winding, and then placed a piece of copper armor on the stake in the distance.

Airplanes~

The heavy string sound is accompanied by the joy of the arrow leaving the string.

Shout~

A light and shadow that was indistinguishable to the naked eye flashed, and I saw a crisp sound of gold and iron from the stake copper armor in the distance.

When a few people got closer, Li Cunxiao's still happy face suddenly became a little surprised, looking at the pierced copper armor, he subconsciously touched his chest, and said: "Grandma's legs, ordinary crossbow arrows can still see the trajectory of the arrow, this crossbow is actually a sigh and then disappears, the power is huge, if it shoots on a person, it must not be penetrated......"

After Li Cunxiao finished speaking, Li Yu lifted the bronze armor, and the three-inch arrow pierced the stake behind him for seven minutes, leaving only a small tail outside......

Everyone only felt that their scalps were numb, and the power was really terrifyingly tight.

Li Yu also felt that this crossbow was too ferocious, but after thinking about it, this crossbow made trouble, and the arrows needed to be customized, so it couldn't be manufactured in large quantities, so he put his mind at ease and exhaled and said: "Lord Feng, burn the drawings of this thing, just remember it in your mind, and you must not let it be exposed." ”

Li Yu only thought of the loopholes in secrecy at this moment, and he was a little worried, and he might need to find a way to get an identity certificate to restrain it.

And Feng Yansheng didn't feel how he tested with the craftsman before, maybe it was because of exhaustion, he only considered the farthest kill, and did not calculate the power within a hundred steps.

This time, I was watching Li Yu's test, and I felt that it was too shocking, if such a murder weapon came out...... I didn't dare to think about it any further.

Feng Yansheng also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What the prince said is that the key to the production of this artifact must not be leaked. ”

Li Yu asked Li Cunxiao to call the twenty young men and said, "You are orphans selected by Benhou himself, giving you food and giving you a place to live, and now you are being trained by others, how do you say you should repay me." ”

The twenty young men were all shocked, and they bent their knees and shouted: "Die for the Hou Ye." ”

Li Yu's expression moved, and he said with a smile: "Get up, you little rabbit cubs remember, your life is easy to die, and Benhou is still counting on you to shine in the future." ”

"Yes."

After speaking, Li Yu couldn't help but be a little restless, is this the twenty-man who makes him excited?

Grandma has a leg, what is Meng Tian's mood in the face of the 300,000 Great Qin army.

Feng Yansheng looked at the twenty repeaters and felt pain, after all, it was his own hard work to build, and now he was a little empty and nagging, thinking that the repeater had not yet been named, he hurriedly said: "Master Hou, this repeater has not been named yet." ”

Li Yu immediately smiled and said, "Since you can store nine arrows at a time, it is better to call it the Nine Star Repeater." ”

"Nine-star repeater?"

Several people present couldn't help but recite the name again, and suddenly felt that this name was a bit appropriate and domineering, and immediately nodded and praised the good name.

Li Yu said casually, and he also thought it was not bad, and immediately said: "This is the case, and I want Lord Feng to go to the palace with me." ”

Feng Yansheng gently agreed, and did not say anything to ask about anything, of course, there was no need to ask.

explained that Li Cunxiao continued to urge this group of teenagers to practice using crossbow arrows, and then entered Xianyang Palace with Feng Yansheng.

Ying Zheng's body is becoming more and more fat, perhaps because of too much protein supplementation.

Because of the sudden visit of Li Yu and the others, he was a little surprised: "What kind of wind blew the prince here." ”

Li Yu smiled awkwardly, a few days ago, the early dynasty inadvertently made Yingzheng lose his old face, and now he sighed a little: "Your Majesty said this, Weichen has no time to be distracted recently because of the matter of the Foundry Division, no, I want to visit Your Majesty whenever I have time." ”

Ying Zheng didn't believe it in his heart, but he had a very relieved expression on his face, and said, "Oh? But what strange objects have you developed? ”

Li Yu and Feng Yansheng glanced at each other, and then said, "Sort of, Lord Feng and I plan to transform the military crossbow so that it can fire three arrows in a row." ”

Ying Zheng frowned and said, "Repeating crossbows? Isn't my army already equipped with this kind of weapon, how else can it be transformed? ”

As soon as Ying Zheng's words came out, Li Yu couldn't help but slander in his heart: My old Zhao, your Qin army's repeating crossbow is tied together with a wooden pole with multiple single-shot crossbows, what kind of continuous shooting is this......

"Your Majesty, that bundled crossbow arrow is not a repeating crossbow, and now this recipe developed by Weichen and Lord Feng is really called a repeating crossbow."

Ying Zheng's expression changed, and he was curious, but seeing that the two of them came empty-handed, he wondered in his heart: This immortal prince won't hold back anything bad and want to come with empty gloves.

Then he smiled and said: "I only care about the finished product, if you can improve your armament, I will naturally be rewarded." ”

Li Yu nodded and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, in addition to this matter of improving armaments, Weichen still needs His Majesty's approval." ”

Ying Zheng didn't think much about it, and asked bluntly: "Say." ”

Li Yu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, what Weichen said is what he said that day, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it." ”

Ying Zheng was a little restless in his heart, he still pressed the Xianjun Marquis's performance for the past few days, for no other reason, this kid actually wanted to ask for an army of five hundred people for other purposes......
