091 Spear and shield

I believe many people have heard of the story of spear and shield, Chu people have a shield and spear, the shield of reputation said: "My shield is strong, things can not be trapped." He also praised his spear and said: "The benefits of my spear are all trapped in things." ”......

Zhao Hao has also heard this story, and now, he has even made the strongest defensive equipment and armor, so he naturally thinks of the strongest offensive weapon.

So, what is the strongest offensive weapon in the age of cold weapons?

Swords, guns, swords, halberds or anything, it's not, if you want to talk about the strongest attack weapon in the era of cold weapons, it's the bow and crossbow!

There was a world-famous wind and arrow array in the pre-Qin period, and that guy, when the six countries saw it, they were all frightened.

The structure of the strong crossbow is too complicated, and Zhao Hao can't make it at this time, but the bow and arrow are very simple things, and it is quite easy to make them.

After experimenting with the effects of the armor, he began to make bows and arrows.

At first, he made a small mold according to the process he had figured out, which was roughly a little thicker than his thumb, triangular, pointed in the front, and a deep round hole in the back.

It's a bit like a gun head, but it's much smaller than a gun head, so what can it be used for?

Zhao Hao did not give any explanation as usual.

He just asked Ah Hua and the other five people to keep casting, and kept casting, until they cast thousands of them, and then they stopped and seriously hammered the front end out of the blade, and polished it extremely smooth and sharp.

To this end, he even specially cast a few finger-thick round pig iron rods, specially inserted into the round hole behind the small thing, to prevent the round hole from deforming when it was built.

What is this thing used for, until the samples are created, no one is clear, but at this time, Zhao Hao left Ah Hua and others, directly found a bunch of hard Zhemu branches, carefully selected, and used the magic weapon to scrape the selected long strips into exactly the same size, and soaked these strips softly, tightly twisted together, and then tied them with a cowhide rope and tied them outside, and cut a wooden mold with an arc row to fix it, and put it outside to dry for a few days.

It's even more unclear what this nearly one-man tall thing is for.

This morning, Zhemu was basically finalized, and Zhao Hao finally came to reveal the answer.

He directly twisted several long cowhide ropes into a strand and tied it to the Zhemu bow, and a longbow was completed.

This longbow has at least five stones or more, that is to say, it must be pulled open by a master with more than eight hundred catties of strength, and there is a diamond-shaped hole in the middle of the longbow, and the arrow can be passed through the middle.

There is a misunderstanding here, it seems that all the bows made by wilderness survival anchors in the wild, or most of the bows that appear in movies and television, do not have small holes in the middle, and people put the arrows on the side of the bow, and then pull the bow to shoot the arrows.

It's as if the hole in the middle couldn't be made at all.

Of course, this is not the case, the ancient bow body is made of hard oak wood or other hard wood strips twisted together, as long as the bow body is twisted in the middle with a small wooden stick, this small hole will be left, and it is still there after the finalization.

There is no such thing as a bow and arrow at this time, so even if Zhao Hao makes all the longbows, no one understands what he is doing.

Zhao Hao didn't explain, he took a few polished arrows, sharpened a few arrow shafts, and found a few pieces of pheasant feathers, and made a few arrows that were slightly longer than his arms, and then took Ah Yun and Ah Yue, with Cang Wu and others, to a clearing on the edge of the Black Stone Gathering Place.

Then, in front of everyone, he opened his bow and loaded the arrows, pulled the longbow to the full moon, and shot the long arrows with a whoosh.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, the arrow screamed with a "woo", and with a "poof" sound, it hit a big tree a hundred steps away, and everyone could feel the terrifying penetrating power from a distance, because the thigh-thick trunk was pierced by this arrow!

The five-stone strong bow is really amazingly powerful!

However, the quality of the arrows at this time was not so satisfactory.

Zhao Hao walked over with the stunned crowd, picked up the arrow that fell behind the big tree and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

This guy, the arrows have been deformed by this arrow, and they can't be used again.

When everyone saw this, they were all dissatisfied, and they were puzzled, you are still not satisfied with this terrifying power!

Such a thick trunk has been shot through, and if you want to shoot people, then I'm afraid you can shoot through several people!

Cang Wu couldn't help but tremble and said, "What's the matter, Heavenly Leader, do you feel that this thing is not powerful enough?" ”

Zhao Hao still shook his head with a wry smile and said: "This thing, the power is big enough, but the arrows are not strong enough, alas, you can't use it if you shoot an arrow, if you want to really fight with Xue Manbu, I don't know how many arrows to build." ”

At the beginning, he only pursued the power of the bow, but did not consider the strength of the arrow, it seems that this five-stone strong bow is not very applicable, at least, before there is no breakthrough in iron-making technology, the five-stone strong bow cannot be equipped on a large scale, otherwise, Ah Hua and the five of them will not be busy building arrows every day.

In fact, there are not many people who can pull the five-stone strong bow at this time, there are salt departments, there are probably more than ten, and the black stone department is even more pitiful, and only Cangwu, Ah Xing, and Teng Lei can pull it open, and the others, including Chongfei, can't.

Next, Zhao Hao began to experiment again, but this time, he did not make a longbow in front of the Blackstone tribesmen, after all, this amazingly powerful thing is still in the hands of his own people.

He still called Ah Hua and the other five people together, explained in detail the process of making longbows, and then asked them to choose five different thicknesses of Zhemu sticks to make five longbows of different thicknesses according to the method he taught.

After the longbow was done, Zhao Hao roughly tried the strength, the strongest one, roughly about four stones, that is, it takes about six hundred catties of strength to pull it open, and the lightest one, less than one stone, can be pulled apart with about a hundred catties of strength.

He then had the five men make dozens of arrows, and led them to test the range and power of the five longbows.

The range of these five longbows can reach more than 100 steps, but the difference in power is big, the strong bow of four stones can roughly penetrate the trunk of a thigh-thick tree, while the longbow of about 100 catties can't even shoot through the trunk of an arm.

He roughly weighed it, and finally decided to mass-produce a longbow of about two stones, because this kind of longbow only needs about 300 catties of strength to pull away, basically as long as it is a slightly stronger person can use it, and as long as the arrows it shoots do not directly hit hard objects such as stones, the arrows will basically not be deformed.

The only drawback of this longbow may be that it is not powerful enough, and basically, the arrows it shoots can just pierce the trunk of a young tree with the thickness of an arm, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to shoot through a person.

Of course, the power of arrows can penetrate the tender trunk of the arm is already quite good, after all, arrows generally rely on the number to win, if you shoot alone, the power is not very large, if hundreds of such arrows hit one person at the same time, I am afraid, even if it is a master with more than 10,000 catties, it will die on the spot!
